BURDEN OF BAD ROADS.
Vant Dipraxr They Aiiuuuliy I'lac
oa the Farmer.
Ia a country as large as tbat i:
which we live, with the greater part o
Its producing regions widely separate
from the markets which they servi
tlm mfttt-pr r.f trsinsnortation is one o
vast importance, writes lion. Marti:
Dodge in Forum. This applies partici
larly to our agricultural products; foi
while a great portion both of our mat
ufactured output and of our fart
growth must l?e moved loug distance
by rail or water before reaching a mai
ket, practically all of the latter mus
also be transported for greater or les
distances over the public highways
The question of marketing these agr:
cultural products, amounting in th
United States to $1,000,000,000 annua!
ly, on terms that the dealer can affor
to pay and the grower to accept, ofte:
reduces itself to a question of chea
and quick delivery; in other words, t
a question of economical transports
tion.
As far as the railways and steamshi
lines are concerned, this problem ha
been dealt with very intelligently an
satisfactorily. Skill and money hav
hopn nnrilipd -without stint to the nrc
vision of enlarged means of convej
ance, Improved ways and increase
power. These influences, under tli
stress of strong competition, have rt
ducod long distance freight rates to i
reasonable level.
There is one phase of this transports
(Jon problem, however, which has af
proached no satisfactory solution. Tha
is the matter of wagon road haul. A
has already been said, while the great
er part of our farm products travels b;
steamship, canal or railway for a poi
tion of the journey to market, vlrtuall;
all of them are conveyed for some dis
tance over the public highways. It i
unfortunate that this is often the mos
sxpensive part of their journey. It ha
been shown by mathematical demon
stration that It costs more to move s
bushel of wheat or a ton of hay tei
miles over the average country road
Df the United States than to trauspor
the same burden 000 miles by railwa;
ar 2,000 miles by steamship. It ha
konnnnn/1 mor?T? ffmoG In flifPnrnnt nnrf
"iUUj HUivw W.U.V.VUV
3f tbe country that farmers have le
crops go to waste because the cost o
hauling them to the nearest market o
railway shipping point over wretche<
md ill kept roads amounted to mor
than could be realized for them after
ward; whereas, if good roads on whicl
heavy loads could be hauled had beei
at hand, the same crops could hav
been marketed at a small prolit to tb
producer, while the economic gain re
suiting from their application to usefu
purposes would have been very consid
jrable.
HIGHWAYS OF EUROPE.
France Lends In Syntem of Bnildini
and Maintenance.
Two hundred years ago England ha<
ie worst roads in the world becaus
ie peasantry living on the roads alon
,vere required to work them, says th<
American Asphalt Journal. In speak
ng of them Macaulay says "that i
oute connecting two great towns whicl
lave a large and flourishing trade witJ
sach other should be maintained at tb
:ost of the rural population scatters
jetween them is manifestly unjust I
vas not until many toll bars had beei
riolently pulled down, until the troop;
iad in many instances been forced t<
ict against the people and until mucl
>lood had been shed that a good systen
vas introduced."
Every class now contributes to th<
naintenance of the road system In Eng
and. The French have probably thi
nost efficient laws and regulations Ii
he world for the building and repair
ng of highways. The minister of pub
ic works has the general superintend
tnce of all roads and ways by land ant
>y water. There are four classes o:
oad recognized by law?namely, (1
mtlonal, (2) departmental, (3) military
4) crossroads. National roads are bull
ind kept up by the national treasury
departmental roads are a charge upoi
he departments through which the:
>ass, and part of the military roads ari
cept up by the government and par
>y the departments through which th<
oads pass.
r\ci fira lrrmf nn hxr tVu
IUU ViiVOOlVaUO Ufcb UVW v?^r J
:ommunes, though sometimes In thinly
K>pulated regions these communes re
leive assistance from the government
(specially when these roads become o:
mportance.
The national roads are paved like i
ftreet, having an average width of 52^
'eet. The departmental roads are 51
,'eet wide, and the military and cross
oads are of variable width. Piles o
)roken stone are placed at convenien
listanees, and a man is constantly em
)loyed in repairing each section.
ConccrnlnR Side DItcliea.
When the road is in an excavation
freat care should be taken that a sid<
litch is provided on each side to carrj
iway the water so that It 6hall not rui
lown the middle of the road, as Is fre
luently the case. Every road shoul<
lave side ditches, even one that run:
jtraight down the side of a hill. Thi
s+p#>nnKt rnnd needs the side ditch most
Dut often has none. Frequently tbi
ivater runs down the middle of thi
:oad on a side bill and wears it lnt<
jullles, whlcb are a discomfort an<
perhaps dangerous in botb wet weatbe
md dry. Tbe water must not be suf
fered to run In tbe road, but must b>
made to run off the road.
Cities and Rondo.
One of the speakers at the goo<
roads congress at Buffalo maintains
that If the tide of migration to ou
cities is to be turned it will have to b
lone by means of roads that make eas;
communication with the surroundinj
country. In that light tbe good road
question takes on a new aspect.

[ The South Carolina College
a
s for Teachers. ?J
t f1
f Although nearly approaching its centetmial
anniversary, the South Carolina 6i
r College shows none of the decrepitude al
1 of old age, bat rather Increasing signs W
e of vigorous life. A new departure of j ^
,, great Importance to the College and to ' ic
the State has just been inaugurated. : w
3 For some years the College has had a ; Q
3 department of pedagogy, for the train6
ing of teachers; but last winter, for the j w
e first time, the Legislature created a w
number of endowed normal scholar- b<
ships, one for each county. It is the
] intention of the Trustees and Faculty ic
to set these scholarships upon a high aj
plane, and to seek thereby to qualify w
superior young men for positions of ^
leadership and influence in our public . .
schools. However largely womtn may
be employed as teachers, the work of
f superintendence, direction and control &
must continue to be most largely in the N
hands of the men; and it is to supply gi
3 these teachers of leadership and in- hi
e fluence, in the community as well as in ft
e the schools, that the College will chiefly
s aim, through these scholarships. Hence, .
3 no young man under nineteen years of .
age will be eligible, and preference will al
j be given to those applicants who have a
^ already taught with success for at cl
least one year. a
A special and technical course of g]
e study has been established, on a high
j yet practical plane; and it is intended
t that this department shall be worthily
entitled to be called a "College for
1 Teachers." All the work will be dis3
tinctively normal, and apart from the hi
3 regular College classes. The Trustees fc
and Faculty feel sure that in preparing be
J a body of strong and well equipped p(
i men teachers the College will aid in ai
supplying one of the most important
a needs of the State. They hope, also, '
that this work, in its success and its w
results, may meet with such public ap- Q1
proval as to lead hereafter to its still T
further enlargement. ti<
Circulars have been issued giving the ir
details of regulations and course of n<
study, v es
The present session, now nearly
ended, has been very encouraging. Not ,
a ripple has disturbed the internal
peace of the College. The new Presi- al
dent has won golden opinions, and has 65
more than maintained the confidence j es
and affection gained in his long service ' d?
as professor. The friends of the Col- j It
lege look hopefully forward to the con- |
tinued success and increased usefulness | m
of this venerated institution, which will ,
soon enter upon its second century of
honorable history.
lie Watchful. ai
The wise merchant knows when to g<
adopt new plans and how to accom- P'
plish any given purpose through the T
ideas of others. It is well to try to ^
furnish all the ideas, but it is foolish
to turn down a good idea just because
some other person furnished it. t0
What is needed is business, not origi- ^
nality. If all the business could be ^
done by one man and all the ideas be
furnisned by another there would soon
be a change of conditions, for the man n(

PRIMITIVE HOOS1ER CABINS.
irelllnKB Constructed by the Earlier
Settlors Tn Indiana.
In the primitive Hoosier cabin?rough,
QCUULJ1, Dliiipio auuuua??liiuix? gcuuauo
ippiness has been enjoyed than in all the
tie, costly mansions in the great city of
ew York. Thousands of wealthy, re>octable
men and women are living toly
who were born, reared and married in
ich humble cabins. And there are milons
of people living today who have no
lea how these cabins are constructed.
The pioneer from somo of the old east n
or southern states, with his wife, six
: eight children, gun and dog, would
>ine to Greene county in Ms covered
agon, which was the family abode until
3 crected his cabin, which was construct1
thus: Cut about 40 logs 8 or 10
ichcs in diameter, 20 of them 16 feet long
id 20 of them 14 feet long; 6lopo the
ids off half and notch the other half to
t; put chunks in tho cracks of the logs
id daub them with mud. The gables
ere made of shorter logs until reaching
v.***- 4a nolln^ flirt nnmh f."hn pnHa clnrvvl
jwn to suit tho pitch of the roof.
It being now ready for covering, cut
jles 5 to 6 inches in diameter, 16 feet
mg, or the length of the house, notch
icm down on tho gables about 8K feet
rnrt. Cut down a large oak tree, square
le butt and saw cuts four feet long, spilt
icm in blocks about six inches square,
iko a frow and rive boards half an inch
lick, lay them lengthwise on the aforekid
poles or rafters, breaking joints;
eight them down with small poles. You
re now ready for the floors. Cut poles
x inches in diameter, length the width
! the cabin, for lower joists; place them
jout four feet apart; cut a tree?general
linn or some soft wood?saw logs about
x or eight feet long; split into slaba
nout three inches thick; hew smooth.
rith these make tho floor. The door is
lade of boards tho same as the roof, only
mger. Tho fustening is a wooden latch
ith a string hanging on the outside,
no window, 14 by 10 inches, has greas1
paper for glass. The ceiling is made
ith poles for joists covered with clapjards.

Black'* Method of Writing.
It is said of tho late William Black that
s literary method was a slow and painil
one. Ho thought about a proposed
)ok for months before he put pen to pa
jr. He conjured up tho chiof incidents
id characters and lived with hia person?cs,
so to speak. When ho came to the
riting, ho was obliged to have perfect
lict. Ho could bear no noise at all.
liose who complain of his endless descripons
of scenery will bo interested in knowig
that ho made careful and elaborate
Jtcs of that scenery, of localities and
pecially of atmospheric effects.
"If one docs not correctly and completeframo
a character or an incident with
1 the circumstances of tho time," he
tid, ''one gets only a blurred paga For
cample, one may say, 'It was a beautiful
iy.' But what kind of a beautiful dayf
i must be described so that the picture
lall bo beautiful and finished. Every huan
being in real life has a background,
id must have in a novel if tho story is to
jpear real to tho reader."

GOOD ROADS DEPARTMENT.
Commerce and Transportation May !
Have Place Iu Cabinet.
Good road enthusiasts are confident
that the bill providing for the creation
of a new government department will
be passed at the coming session of congress.
The measure, as proposed and
as it will be backed by the good roads
people, provides for the establishment
of a department of commerce and
transportation or commerce ana putmc
works. It is intended to establish under
its direction a bureau of good
roads. At present the bureau of public
road inquiries is under the department
of agriculture. It Is also the intention
to place bureaus uow under the direction
of the interior and treasury departments
under the proposed department
of commerce. President Moore
of the National Good Roads association
recently said:
"I have talkrj with a great many
members of congress this summer,
with the result that I am confident the
new department will be created at the
next session. Every senator and representative
I have seen favors it
"Heretofore the politicians have not
understood the situation, but now they
are getting their eyes opened. The
nonnlo nrp nlsn hecinnincr to see some
thing must be done toward building
permanent good roads. Our mission is
to educate, and In establishing this department
and making a liberal appropriation
for it the government will also
be educating. No one expects the government
to build the roads. Such a
proposition would be foolish. The government
can, however, build sample
roads and thereby let the people know
what the advantages are. The states
must build the roads.
"The railroads are Interested in a
movement for good roads because they
realize good roads are essential to their
Interests. At present shipments practically
stop in a large part of the country
for five months every year because
the farmers cannot get to the railroad
stations. The result is the railroad
companies inuai. u\y uu uavc tais cuuugu
to carry the business when the farmers
can get to the stations. This compels
them to keep large numbers of cars
Idle much of the- time, and as they
don't want to maintain any more rolling
stock than Is absolutely necessary
they are usually short of cars when the
rush comes. With good roads all over
the country the traffic would be distributed
through twelve months of the
year. This is the reason the railroads
want good roads."
STATE AID IN NEW YORK.
"What It Is Accomplishing For Road
Improvement.
In a recent bulletin reviewing the
work of road ImDrovement in New
York state State Engineer Bond says:
The legislature appropriated $420,000
for road Improvement this year, and
In the three years In which road Improvement
work has been In progress
20 roads, having a total mileage of 45
miles, have been Improved at a cost of
$367,600; that 36 roads, having a mileage
of 122 miles, are now undergoing
Improvement at a cost of $773,730;
that funds have been awarded for the
Improvement of 3 roads having a mileage
of 7 miles at a cost of $56,600, and
that plans have been approved by
boards of supervisors of 12 counties
for the Improvement of 47 roads, having
a mileage of 134 miles, which
would impose an expense upon the
state and the counties, if adopted, of
$1,091,443.
When all the roads already Improved,
those under improvement and
those whose improvement Is suggested
have been Improved, 106 will have
been constructed In 23 counties, covering
310 miles, at a cost of $2,289,874.35,
of which the state will have paid
one-half and the counties one-half.
ROAD PROGRESS IN OHIO.
Improvement Does N< : Keep Face
With the Demand of the Times.
Ohio has by no means kjpt pace In
the matter of roadbuildlng throughout
the country districts either with the
progress made In steam railways or In
the Improvement of city streets, where
within the past twenty-five years the
old macadam and bowlder thoroughfares
have given way almost entirely
to the more perfect and lasting granite,
brick and asphalt, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune.
It Is true there Is In this state a law
which enables the townsmps tnrougnout
Ohio to Improve their road system,
known as the free turnpike law, and It
has done wonders for the common
roads of the state during the twentyfive
years or more that It has been In
force. Perhaps a few other states have
similar laws, but they are not general.
The ordinary country roads throughout
the country generally are, as they have
always been, things to avoid in the season
of freezing and thawing, during
which they are usually impassable.
Road Frogrei* In Tennessee.
Judging from the enthusiasm which
attended the recent annual meeting of
the Tennessee Good Roads association,
much work in the Improvement of
highways will be accomplished in that
state next year. The convention was
not content with academic discussions
of the advantages of good roads, the
best material for roadways and the
like, but took practical steps toward a
realization of the ideals. To secure
united action throughout the state and
to build up an organization which
would be strong enough to demand legislation
each county court was urged
to send three delegates to each annual
meeting of the State Roads association.
It was decided also to ask the legislature
for the appointment of a state engineer
to consult with county superintendents
in the matter of roads and
bridges and for legislation which would
permit the employment of jail inmates
in roadmaklng.
