REUNION OF COMPANY F.
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."

GOVERNMENT ROADMAKING.
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. From
! the beginning of the work to the end j
| there is a system, aud responsibility is ;
j assured.
