Dear Patsy,?I am in the 4ty of George Washington, and I fed that I stand on sacred ground. Itmakes a man feel big to walk about George Washington and say to him?lf this , is OUR town. As soon as ^ iot here a .d slicked ud a little I wtllt down . Jtown, and I have been goii? around a good deal every day sin?. There 1 have been large crowds ii town ev- , ery day since I got here.' The people must come in from ir-les around 1 to do their trading. I bve looked i behind all the big buildPgs, and in j all the vacant places I^av? seen to \ find the hitching lot the peo- \ pie hitch their horses $*en they get ] here, but I cannot fin' it. I wanted j to count the horses ?d buggies so s that I could tell you/ow many there \ were here so you cpld get some s idea of the number 'f people I have j seen. They may hfe a place under j the ground somewise to hitch, as e they have all kinw0* underground ^ arrangements in fcs city. In "fact i the train which T/ame in on runs 4 under a buildingyjvhich they gay r cost three milliojaollars. The wea- r ther is pretty ctfl up here and it may be that the make them hitch in a place like t|s to keep the horses ii from getting cjd, but. I can't see a what they do *th the buggies. t George Wasljhgton is a bigger city A man ureenwoa put w- r gether. Theyfrave two hotels here, fi an ice plant aid a laundry just like p Abbeville butA? cotton mill that I ti have seen. Ihear that they have e some barrooBS here but from what o they say Ijthink they ; will close n them tip ffter Christmas. The q Southern aid Seaboard &oth run in b here and I Baw anothei track, and c I guess thqrC. & W. C. ( ttnes in too. I] The people up here do at seem to o know manf people, and s$ry few of them take Tne Press ai i Banner. I a asked a barber who wai ihaving me tn if he took it, and he said no, and all ii the other barbers laugfed at him. C1 He had never heard of 1 ayor. Gam- p brell' or Jack Perrin, hich made tl them laugh again. Thepeople are w also stuck up. I have rued my hat cl to every lady I have sen and none 2 of them seem to care to peak to me, e] so I got mad yesterday 4d am going g to quit it. I noticed all along thiroad and I d did not see a single go* farm nor lc a single still. We pasti through f< some good country to tun either m business and I am surpned that the pj people are so slow. Tare has not li been a bale of cotton <j the street it since I have been hereind I have ti looked everywhere to sqif the cot- ~ ton buyers up here loo( ; like . Jess i Ellis and Dale Barksdal* The people do not bring in any ,tggs and butter nor chickens andturkeys. I saw a man come up to front of W the Compartment House, yiere Dr. Harvin stays and I tioughof course he had a turkey for ale, soi thought I would go down aid buy; it and N spring a surprise on them, <ut when ^ I asked him he said, 'When are you bi from?" When I toM kim I jras from A: Abbeville he didn'tj i eem t> know P< where the place is. It seems to me th$ the leople up ni here do not read an keep; up with the times. And I beive tint if you ^ will get The Press ad Banner to sena me some sampj copies ,tnat 1 *" can get a lot of sb?ibers here for Px it The Lord knowahey need it I have not seen t) lady with the watch on her ankle bee I got here this time, though lhave walked about a good deal lfcing for her. lej I guess she must ha^ent the watch to the jeweler to hi it fixed for Christmas, or I wou have found .. it by this time. I sa'the policeman who picked me up ^n I fell and ~? he laughed and spolto me, but I P? pretended that I didot recognize ]?| him and walked on. They have no set-Ik colleges up here either, and I ha not been invited out to a singleame since I got here. Davis Kefcould make a fortune here, if he ^ld come up and start a branch 4ege here. I would be willing to r a week or two myself to see til it got started off right. I thin' I will look around and see if I csfind an empty building where he co; locate, and if we can get him ime notion, I think he will send yctnd me up here on a lecturing txjnext spring. Dr. Harvin agrees wijne that it would pay to try it oij I asked Dr. Harviflbout going around to see Woodt the first night I got l^pre, andj put me off and I have mentionefie thing to fttrA At> fVivoa J V ? uuu ?mi w? wtii-w ?""?uv;c nuu lie does not seem in anjirrj^ to go with me to see my ?nd. There seems to be some cofess between them judging by the y he acts every time I mention i matter, so I am going down to tCapitol and get Carpenter or Wyd Aiken to take me up to see th^esident. I know he would think inge of my coming up here for t!)econd time and going home witrn taking a single meal with him. I hope you boys areying a fine time. I hear that Coti Percy will not visit Mr. Kerr thisristmas. I am sorry to hear this [ saw Mr. Kerr buy a walking st to walk around with his cousin ile he was there. Of course he <& keep the stick until next Christi but therfe will be the loss of thqiterest on the money. Give my tenderest r^ls to Jack Perrin, Jim Chalmers, >te Smith, Uncle Jim "Stark, De\ and the rest of the boys and tmber to write to me how things with you in my absence.

A THE TAX OF POOR PAVEMENTS ON THEIR USER Everybody knows that more powe is required to haul a load on a poo pavement than on a good one. It i only recently, however, that definit figures of the effect of the conditio of the pavement on its resistance t traction have been obtained. The in formation long desired has been fux rushed by the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology, which obtaine it by running an electric deliver; ragon over pavements and measur ing the amount of power requirei it different speeds. These tests sho\ iiat it takes 20 per cent more powe: to run at the rate of 12 miles pe: lour no a poor asphalt pavemen -han on a good one. On a poor 10ft bituminous macadam pavement han on a good one. On a poor 10ft bituminous macadam pavement t sometimes takes as much as 121 )er cent more power than is requir td on a good pavement of that type vhile such a pavement that is soft iut otherwise good requires aboul iO per cent more power than a hare me. A poor water-bound macadam lavement requires 60 per cent more ower than one in good condition. The tests show that the increase a power made necessary by deteriortion of pavements mounts up as be speed of the vehicle increases. Lfl WAof MAfyiV ***** of +ho ate of at least 15 miles an hour the gures given may be considered aproximately true of average condiioias. They are particularly intersting as enabling the automobile wner to estimate what good pavelents are woth to him. It is usually stimated that the average automoile runs 5,000 miles a year and onsumes 500 gallons of gasoline, f 1,000 miles are made on bituminas roads and half of such roads are i poor condition, and 4,000 miles ?e made on macadam roads of which vo-thirds are in poor condition, and ! it is further assumed that the poor baracter of the roads increases the ower requirements by 50 per cent, len about 120 gallons of gasoline ere used on account Nof the poor fiaracter of these pavements. At 1 cents a gallon this means an avrnira nnnnnl fav nf aKnnf tOK asoline to pay for poor roads. The case is different with horserawn vehicles, for with them the iss is not measured in extra feed )r the horses, but in the slow speed laintained by such vehicles on poor Elements. In other words, the loss es in the reduced amount of work is possible to perform Under praccal conditions. * Millar's Antiseptic Oil Known As SNAKE OIL HI Positively Relief# Pain in Thro* mm* m muviM.

In m^nj ~ cases the cost of the improvement l" is borne entirely by the abuttjnj d property whereas the rural roads an y improved at the expense of an entir< township, often with county or stat< " aid. The people of Sioux City, Iowj 1 had wretched roads leading into th( v country for a number of years al r though the roads connecting witl r them were considerably better. Th< t legislature was accordingly asked to , pass a law by which these country , Highways within the city limtis coulc , be improved at the expense of al , of the property benefited, just as the > wet lands in Iowa have been improv ed during many years by forming s , drainage district for each* section t benefited by a drainage system and I distributing the cost of the work U over the district Whpn 1 a road district law ?X the improvement of the highways of Prtmm Albert U mid mwriiw in toppy rod bmgt.

BROWNLEE & Do The Willys-Overland "Mad* I Sioux City, a number of road disss tricts were formed within its limits. The work was financed by first determining the proportion of the tot tal cost of each road which the city r as a whole should pay; thfoproportion ranged from 32.8 to 49.35 per cent. The remainder of the cost in 3 each district was then distributed b over all of the nronertv within it i some of the property being laid oat j in lots and other parts being typical s Iowa fanning lands. The distribuX tion of the expense was first made I by estimating that the lots and the 3 farm lands abutting on the road and ? most directly benefited should be i ranked as paying a 100 per cent ass sessment. Lots and farms at a great* er distance paid a reduced a*sessi ment and in this way it proved prac? ticable to raise the money in an > equitable manner rather than by r assessing the whole cost against the I abutting property in the old way, I which would have been impossible to ) carry ot because, the cost was far too . srvpnt. tr? ho hnrno V?TT l Under this system farm land carryl ing a 100 per cent assessment, paid 1 from $12. to $20. per acre in the : different districts, and there were a - few plots, where the special benefits 1 were marked, which were/ given a 125 per cent assessment. . j ; _ niiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiinimiiiiMiimmiimmi m pip< cigarette iwfess you get a with Prince 'Albert tobacco P.
