Editor l'retw and Banner : The Huhject of good roails seem* to he (he question agiUtinr the minds of our people more perhaps during the past few months than for many yeaiv * pant. Is this cau?ed by the fact of our public roads being iu worse condition ,k"? ? *?? have been for some vean> man ?mvj ? . m past? I desire today, however, from . personal observation that in many } places they have been, and are today E In a very rough and unsatisfactory [ condition. I have perhaps traveled over nion miles of road in the county thau an\ other eitixeu, and therefore Know full well the complaints of the people ar> not altogether without cause. My observation is that more road work wai> done during 1902 than any year during the history of the county. This work was mainly done by wkleolng and placing an unuaual amount of dirt in centre of road bed The unusually wet weather during the winter months caused the roads to cut and bccome practically Impassable in i many places. We have heard numer- | oat eomplaints that working the road* durint the Fall montha is largely the *" "*u ??~iKU Kiit mv pxntk rieooe te that where much dirt if placsJ In the roads even in the Spring months brings about a like result, ay all Mt dirt, especially on clay road* being placed on the same in a gran- ; utaied oondition will pack during Summer montha and become smooth and hard on the surboe, but when i they are thoroughly soaked with water tbqr will Mt as readily as some claw of roads worked during the Fall i months. Now, Mr. Editor, It seem* boot all the County Commiaalouen- , nan do, not to exoeed the appropriation far the present year, is to go over the | roads and put them iu good condition , ibr Summer travel. During the Sum- , air montha we have frequent remark* | 4-r *1*^ AAti/llHnM /\# mip nniltlti' wm iv kuv uoo wuuitiwu V? WM. ruada. bol what of the Winter? Bail roads ta In ev*ry man's mouth. The .

It will do kyou good, if you don't care to talk youiself, you ean hear others talk. Hon. F. H. Hyatt, Senator A. C.

BOADS AND BBIDGES. a Practical Plan far DoIbk Ui? 5r?dtd Work. Editor Press and Banner: I have formulated n comprehensive ind practical plan for improving the roads and bridges in Abbeville county, r will submit the plan to the Good Road* meeting to be held at Abbeville ;be first Monday in April. The p iaqijal features of my plan ire: 1st. The road* and bridges should be kept up by coutract as a whole. That s, a responsible aud competent man ibould have the contract in place ol siting out the work in detail to Dick, rom and Harry. 2nd. All the uad places in the road thotild be ballasted with rock and land. How to ballast a road. tat \furlr nut a rnaii bed raven feet wide, then cut two trenches eighteen o twenty iuches wide and tlx tc iwelve inches deep. The trencher trill extend from the outer edge ol "oad bed on either side eighteen 01 wenty inches toward center of road jed. This will leave forty Inches jetween the tarnches. We fill the renches wilh rock from adjoining aud^ and put six or leu inches ol und between the treuche* in middle >f road. This will give what the railroad nen call a well ballasted road, firm ind smooth, and will stand any presture tb.it may be put on it winter and lumiuer. I have ascertained by actual experinent lbut a road can he fixed in tbb vay for twelve and one-half cents pet rard or $?2U.no per mile. We have about one hundred mile* it road tnat should be worked in tbit way. My pi4n has sjecial features as to instruction of bridges and culverts md gradiug ot hills, and to prevent washing. If the <H>unty wants the plan put in operation and complete in one year'n llm?. bond* would have to be issued io the amount of $40,(XX) or $T>o.OrK). II it Is thought beat to extend lite Hire for completing the work iu five yearn, it will require one mill anuually in ftdilition to the present taxes. After >ur plau hbould l>e complete*! the tax levy should be reduced to about onebalf the present levy. March 23, 1903. T. N. Tolbert. PoJaird Purafirn^tl*. Even a forger appreciated a good Dame.

HE FOUKI) THE MAN. i - I r In my early days I was a reporter on The Clarion Call. < >nly a disliko to own myself beaten and tint occasional fasclna1 tlon which c -itod for the more frequent dlscot rf fc-jifc me in tho office. 1 Bat ail this * 1 the day I was sent ~ to Interview .ie wlf ind daughter of the , man who had just ..sturbed society by disappearing from i\ Mr. Grey, bo 16 had been learned from ; the notices concerning his disappearance, i had one evening after dinner gono out for a stroll around tho block. Ho had never ) oome back. His family was of coarse : prostrated after thu ruamr r of families on . such sud oocasio. s. Af -r giving him t time to come back, mtnd* .g to his clabs, his office and the house:, of his friends his wlfo had finally told his lawyer i, and sys, tematlc search was begun. The family , had retired from public Iffo end denied , themselves to every one, consequently , my chances for an Interview with Mrs. t Grey did not soo hopeful, but tho city edt ltor's air of granting mo tho opportunity I bad boon longing for xuado me loath to admit my fears. I took the train for the Greys' ?they lived a little way out of town?and pre pared myself to moot tbo servants' scorn and tbo other attendant evils of soob an assignment. Tbe coach was an ordinary one, and there were several laboring men In it, evidently traveling to some suburb i where they were to work upon the roads, for they carried pickaxes and shovels. ' There eat opposite mo and slightly forward a peon liar typo of mun to whom I | found inygase wander!' every few min' utes. His Iron gray h;.ir was thick and very unevenly out. His face wis covered | with a stubbly growth of gray beard. He ' looked unwashed, unkempt and generally unpleasant. His blue overalls were stain1 ed with rod clay and his rod flannel shirt opened at the front In a way that revealed ' anything but a beautiful nock, burned ; and blistered. But tbe man's twitching ' lips and oonvulslvo movements of the jaws attracted my attention, and his doep Ml, ' steely blue eyes Unit burned in cavernous " sockets fascinated mo. Ho did not talk to tho other mon, but sat with bis bend sunk 1 upon his breast, only ocrcislonally raising It to cast a look about hint. Ho, with tbe otber laborers, loft the train nt Forcstvlllo, ' where tbe Greys ll**cd, and I soon saw 1 (bom, under tbe direction of a foreman, * assigned to make various rond repairs. ' Of course Mrs. Grev would not see mo. r I sat in tho library while tho servant took ' my card to her, for thoro were other callers I in tho drawing room. Over tho mantel hnng a picture, presumably Mrs. Grey, done in oil. She was as taautiful as a camoo and as hard. Opposite hnr was the portrait of a cleon shaven man, with fine iron gray hair brushed off his forehead?a more plebeian cant of countenanoe, but strong and Interesting. The faco seemed familiar. I stored at it until the servant returned. "Mrs. Grey is sorry, miss, but sho can see no one, und has nothing to say for publication." "Very well." *ahl I. Then I rose to go. "Is that Mr Gr?yf" I asked, nodding toward the pi<' are. "Yes, rots*'* wnn '.he reply, and suddenly it flashed upon to whom I had seen those deep set, ci'ric.sly shaped, keen blue eyes. My heart leai?<l almost Into my mouth. I tool: one long look at the portrait and left tho bouro. The men wero repairing the road, and I noticed one cf tho workmen whose face startled me. Tho n m mblanoe to the portrait I bad se< " <>f - Grey was remarkable. He wor 1 v.! a ileroo "delight in the severe lal r. li. faco seemed more mad than ev*.r, with * o exaltation of motion and strerp '. . pening the gleam in his eyes. There was a telegraph offloe at the end of the streot I sent a me*sago to tho city dltor. "Send a man to Forestvilie at onoe," was my command. Then while I paood the street uud walked about the soaare I reflected UDon the welcome I would recseivo if I had mode a mistake. Every minute I Lcsaiuo mo e and more oonvlnccd that I had luudu the most coloe1 sal blunder on roe.rd. By the time Mr. Ellington Elbiwor.il, the <mly man who I happened to bo i. .ailuble vben my telegram was received, bail arrived I was , nearly bystericaL i toid Mr. Ellsworth my theory, and bo was properly skeptloal Bo discouraged mo thoroughly in about ' two minutes, but I suddenly rallied. 44Well," I remarked, taking command, "I want you to keep that man In sight I t shall go to town and get his lawyer. Find out wbst train they go in on, and I'll meet you." Mr. Ellsworth didn't wish to act upon . that suggestion, but be finally consented to do so. I went in, summoned Mr. r Grey's lawyer and with him mot the l workingiuen's train. Mr. Ellsworth, looking bored and unhappy, got out and point' ed out our suspected "disappearance" to his lawyer. My heart stood In my mouth. Was I to be forevor dlbgraoed or made fa, mous forever? "Mr. Grey," said the lawyer, stepping I forward, "what does ibis moon?" nd when I saw the man nturt wildly I ' know that I was not forever disgraced. e "Well," said tho ciiy editor jovially, "what did they ay?" "They didn't soy anything. They didn't "So you didn't get the Interview!" Hid 1 (be city editor shortly. "No," I replied meekly, "but I found the missing man." > And now, such in tbo irony of fate, the olty editor, instead of letting mo net on t my laurels, is always exhorting mo to llvo up to tbo reputation I madu in the Grey ease, when' I found the missing man, learned how overwork bad worn out bis brain and how in bis half cruzod oondli Hon he wandered away and returned to I bis original occupation In life, to the horror of bis wife with the cameolike faoe.
