Loviug Tribute in Memory of Their ( allant Leader, General Samuel McGowau. ( At a reunion of Company F, 11th S. C. V., at " Langston's church. Laurens Conntv. M. C? on August 19th. The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted. Whereas, We have heard with deep sorrow the death of our brave and much beloved, Gen.Hamuel McGowan, who gallantly led us through so many bloody fields, and whose fatherly care and tender love for us all will ever be cherished by those of ub who knew him best. Therefore be It Resolved 1st, That we bow in humble submission to the will of htm who doeth all things well, and that we strive to emulate the example of our beloved General, and be ready to meet him and all our comradeBat the great reunion and final roll call. 2nd. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the surviving family oi the deceased. 3rd. That a copy be furnished the Laurens and Abbeville press for publication. 4th. That these resoLutions be cooled in our minute book. W. A. McKelvey, Acting Secretary. The Methodist Recorder, of Prtts burg, relates the following: "A Methodist chapel has been built in Buluwayo, the lirst for the Matabele, and built during the war time. At the dedication of the cbapel a tea meeting was held : tickets, two shillings each man, and a C'ape 'boy' at the door to sell the tickets. Presently there was an uproar. Two women rose in rebellion. Appeal was made to Mr. Eva against the Cape boy, who bad taken upon himself to charge each women who sought admission three shillings for her ticket. Summoned into the s nroaen/>a nf fho misoinnaru Mm * boy exponded the situation : 'You u see, sir, it says "two shillings each for men." "So I charge women three shillings, because it was a woman ! who brought sin into the world, and it stauds to reason that women ought to J pay more than men toward driving it out.'" t V It has taken a clever Frenchman to liscover a kind of baromoter which jnay be safely called unique. An English journal says that it is nothing uore nor less than the figure of a gen?ral made of gingerbread. He buys me every year, ana taKes it nome auu jangs it by a string on a nail. Gingerbread, as every one knows, is ?asily affected by changes in tbe atnosphere. The slightest moisture enaers it soft, while in dry weather it jrows hard and tough. Every morning, on going out, the Frenchman asks his servant, "What loes the general say?" and the mau ipplies his thumb to the gingerbread igure. Perhaps he may reply : "The general feels soft. He would advise ,'ou taking an umbrella." Un tue >ther hand, if the gingerbread is hard ind unyielding to the touch, it is safe o go forth in one'9 best attire, uinbrela-less and confident. The Frenchman declares that the general has never yet proved unworthy >f the confidence placed in him, and vould advise all whose purse will not illow them to purchase a barometer or ineroid to 9ee what the lacal baker :an do for them in the gingerbread ine. A poor son of Ireland came to his >riest and asked for permission to ead the Bible. "But," said the priest, "the Bible is n tended for the priests and not for mch men as you." "Is that so?" said Mike. "But I eaa in my rwuie mat we are iu mitruct our childreu in the way they ihould go, and ihe priests have no :hildren." "But Mike," said the priest, ''you :annot understand the Bible. It is jot intended for people like you." "Ah, father," said Mike, "if I canlot understand it, it will not hurt me. \ud what I do understand does me jood." "But listen, Mike," said the priest, 'you must come to church, and the Jhurch will instruct you. The Church vill give you the milk or the Word of 3od." "But where does the Church get hat!" said Mike, "if she does not get t from the Bible. Excuse me, father, >ut then I would rather hold on to the !OW." 1 m5fV? iKn r r i n ur Vnil JLJKZOkl ICUUCi XJ vr J Li. i lut viJiug. ? wW lo not know their temptations, you lannot measure their weakness, you lo not know the struggle that may be ;oing on in their mind.

Work or construction nuppieinentea uj Lectured by an Expert. Several weeks ago the department of agriculture began its first experiment in roadbuilding at New Brunswick, N. J., under the direction of E. B. Harrison, special agent of the office of road inquiry. The model road being considered is the first of several which the government ia to baild at the various experiment stations throughout the country. The government furnishes a rock crusher, screen, engine to drive steam roller, spreading wagon and road grading maohine and two skilled operators. The city furnishes the material, carts and laborers. The road will be of macadam pattern. An inferior grade of traprock is found in abundance near New Brunswick and tJbis is being usea in tne substructure of the road. The superstructure is obtained from the traprock deposits in the neighborhood of Plainfield and the Oranges. The model pavement will have a depth of about nine inches and the foundation be made of small, wedge shaped, broken stones of as nearly the same dimensions as possible. The roadbed will be prepared by thoroughly rolling with a steam roller weighing about ten tons. Every hole will be carefully filled with the same material that composes the rest of the roadbed, and the finished cross section will be formed by two grades of one foot in 30 feet from the sides, uniting at the center, with the apex slightly rounded. Four inches of crushed stone will be spread on the carefully prepared roadbed to form the foundation of the substructure. The largest of these stones will be crushed Crt firm no t:n nhlfi tn fiasilv DBSS through a two inch ring, and the smallest will be about half an inch in diameter. This foundation will then be sprinkled, making !he stone as wet as possible without softening the roadbed, and the roller passed over it a few times until the stone is only slightly disturbed by the teams returning with the empty carts. The first foundation is not made deeper than four inches, because it has been found that a greater thickness causes the stones to "elbow" together, wearing off their sharp corners, making the "bonding," which is the great desideratum, a very slow process, if not an impossibility. When the first foundation has been thoroughly sprinkled, a second coat of similar stone three inches in thickness will be applied. After the stone has been well" bonded" to this extent it will oonin ho enrinVlpfl flnd wllilft verv Wfifc I a thin coating of traprock screenings will be most carefully spread over the surface, just thick enough to fill the email spaces between the stones. The size of the stones of this last applicatiorf, which is called in the parlance of roadbuilding the "binder," will be from half an inch in diameter to the finest dust. When the work has reached this stage, it will be left untouched in the dry state as long as practicable to harden and bind. The application of water and the passage of vehicles will be provented as long as practicable. As the work proeresses Mr. E. B. Harrison, who is directing the work for the department of agriculture, will deliver lectures explaining the process of laying the road. Rutgers college stu dents in the agricultural department and farmers will be invited to attend tche lectures and witness the work. General Grant Favored Good Roads. Nearly 20 years ago General Grant, in enumerating necessary lines of public improvements, named the publio schools and highways. Once, when he and General Sheridan were in a reminiscent mood, the old commander said to "LittlePhil," speaking of the latter's famous ride to the battle of Cedar Creek: "Sheridan, if that battle had taken place after a prolonged rain and there had not been a good pike from Winchester, you would never have been promoted to the head of the United States army. You would not have reached the battlefield to cheer your men, and there would have been a great defend fnr fcho TTninn fnrrfis instead of a great victory. That would have left Meade and Thomas a long distance ahead of yon in the line of promotion." ?New York Tribune. Keep the Road Dry. F. A. Dunham, who has been prominently identified with the farfamed system of modern highways of New Jersey, at a meeting of the Connecticut Valley Highway association, Btated that poor material well put together can be made to produce better results than first cltfss material carelessly put together. Nothing is more fatal to durability than the drainage of the roadbed, and more particularly the subdrainage, which is often neglected. A macadam road cannot be left to itself after a completion, but needs constant supervision. Both Hard and Easy. Good roads are about the easiest thing in the world to make, once undertaken, but about the hardest thing there is to get officials to take hold of.?Parkersburg (W. Va.) Sentinel. Wheel Tracks. According to the statement of the president of the Missouri Good Roads association, the people of that state spent $490,000 during 1896 for road improvement, while it cost them just $600,000 for roads supervisors. In other words, it cost tho state $1,090,000 during the year for $490,000 worth of road improvement. In France there are 24,000 miles of first class roads built by the government, and about an equal number of miles have been built by the different departments, as well as thousands of milpB hnilt hv smaller divisions.
