Interesting details of the progress mad'
in road building, and they will lie pre
sented to the legislature in the discus
sion over the state hlghxvax eornmls
slon bill. Here is part of Mi McCal
lie's report.
"The estimated public road mileage
of the state of Georgia In 1911 was
93.986. which Is an Increase of 1,794
miles over the road mileage of 1909. the
d-Hte of the last statistical toad data
published by this department The ta
ble also show 1 - that during last yea
there were constructed in the state 35
miles of macadam toad. 235 miles of
road surfaced with grave! anil chert,
and 4.077 miles of road surfai r d with
sand-clay mixtures These figures show
that within the last two years, there has
been very rapid progress made in; im
proving the >.yads of the state
"Os the 146 counties of the stat<* 116
employ convicts and 30 use statue or
hired labor, the total number of con
victs employed be ing 4.744
"The expenditures on public »>aiis
and bridges in 1911 were 8659,002 com
mutation lax and $1,770,697 property
tax. making a total money expenditure
of $2,504,699. To this sum should be
added $1,623,200. an estimated money
value of convicts furnished by the slab*
together with the value of statute labor
nf those counties not using convicts
and those using both convicts and stat
ute labor. This makes a gland total of
road expenditute last yeai of $4,127,899
"In comparing the total road mileage
of the state with the total estimated
road expenditures it will be seen Unit
each mile of public road cost last year
$19.15. or $1.58 |>er Inhabitant based on
the census of 1915 t."
COUNTESS’ DANCE
COSTUME TWO FIG
LEAVES AND APPLE
<t.\K BLI’F'I’S, MASS. Aug 6 This
summer resort almost fell off the Is
land today when somebody spread a
story that the titian-hfilred Countess
Irtngard A'onßottenthat has a new
dance, in which her costume consists
of two fig leaves and an apple.
And it's true.
The Countess Irmgard. who appears
at smart gatherings, has invented a
new dance, called "The Temptation of
Eve."
In this dance the countess parries a
large apple. The fruit represents the
apple which made so much trouble for
Adam, with the snake as the villain.
The countess' costume Is cut In the
shape of two fig leaves. But they will
ho extra large leave® large enough, ac
cording to the countess’ idea, of suf
ficient clothes.
However, it is whispered that this
dance is so startling it will never do
for this quiet summer ic-ort. The
countess is going to trx it on some city
< f cavalier tendencies first.

“Al” Jennings, Reformed. Runs
for County Attorneyr-Once
Under Life Sentence.
i
OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. 6.—The
most remarkable (andidacy for nomi
nation to office al the approaching Au
gust primaries in Oklahoma is that of
"Al” Jennings, former outlaw and train
robber, once sentenced to life impris
onment and then pardoned. Jennings
is seeking the office of county attorney
of Oklahoma county on the Democratic
ticket. H< has made such an effective
campaign that wager® are being freely
offered that he will be nominated and
elected.
Jennings is practicing law in Okla
homa City. When his candidacy was
annoum ed it was not taken seriously.
However, a surprising change has taken
plate in the last six weeks. Jennings
has the support of many of the most
influential men of Oklahoma, including
ministers, lawyers, church members,
membe s of civic organizations and
public officials. One of the leading .
newspaper- of Oklahoma City is help
ing him.
Had Jennings tried to dodge his
criminal record he might have made
little progress in his campaign. Bui
lie did not, and on the platform and In
the newspapers admitted tlte facts of
his past career, told what he had done,
said that his misfortune® were due to
tlte blunders of youthful folly and law
less i nvitonnient, and then defied his
enemies to point to a single misstep he
had made since liberated from prison
nine or ten years ago.
