GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT. Lively Rivalry In Congress For The Honor of Having Been The Father Of It. Charlotte Post. There is the liveliest sort of rivalry among several statesmen, says the Washington Post, to be known as the father of the good roads movement in congress. Undisputed possession of the title would mean thousands of votes and uninterrupted tenure for some men, just as the distinction of fathering the irrigation law has been a high feather in the cap of more than one Western congressman. Senator Latimer of South Carolina has been seeking to "get in on the ground floor" of the movement. It makes no difference that Federal leg islation for good roads, accompanied with a fat appropriation, is years off. The thing is immensely popular in South Carolina. His friends in the Palmetto State are already christen ing him the Daddy of Good Roads. But if Mr. Latimer should claim that title in some places, outside of his own State. there would be blood on the moon. Over in the house there is a Tennesseean of stock build and powerful muscles, Mr. W. P. Brownlow. who clains the good roads movement as his child. Mr. Brown low has been willing a long time to fight and die for good roads. In more than one campaign throughout the mountains of his region, Mr. Brownlow's powerfrl voice has been heard in behalf of the cause. He does not propose to surrender his laurels. JAPAN'S FORCES. How the Army and Navy of Nation are Maintained. From "A Handbook of Modern Ja pan,'" by Ernest W. Clement. The Japanese 'army and navy are created and sustained, as to person nel, by a conscription system, quite like that of Germany. . Theoretically, "all males between the full ages of 17 and 40 years, who are Japanese subjects, shall be liable to conscription." This period is moreover, divided up as follows: x. Active service with the colors, three years in the army and four years in the navy, by those who have "at tained the full age of 20 years;" so that those who are between 17 and 20 are apparently exempt except "in time of war or other emergency." 2. First reserve term, of four years in the army and three years in the navy,. by such as have completed their serr' e with the colors." 3. Second reserv'e term of five years, "by those wvho have completed their service in the first reserves." 4. Service in the territorial army for the remaining years by those who have completed the preceding term. But the last three services are mere lv nominal, as the first second rrdlr ly nominal, as the first and second reserves and the territorial army are ordinarily called out only for drill once a year a::d are mobilized, in or der, "in time of emergency." There fore the actual service in barracks is generally only three years. A very thorough method of draf-t ing carries into effect these provis ions, and would make more than 200. ooo young men annually liable to ser vice. But, as this is a much larger number than the Government could possibly care for, or would need in times of peace, there is a "sweeping system of exemptions" that brings the number of conscripts down within practical limits. This system takes into account phy sical conditions, educational courses. individual and family necessities, of ficial duties, business requirements, etc. Even then the number of those available who pass the examination is too large, so that it is reduced by lot. Those who are finally enrolled are divided up among the various lines of service according to physique, former occupations and attainments. "Con scripts for active naval service shall be selected from youths belonging to the sea coast or insular districts." The term of active service is comn puted from December i of each year: 'so that the days just preceding or fol lowing that day are busy ones f or those who are either giving new con-~ scripts a fine send-off or welcomin:. home those whose terms have ex pired. SONS OF VETERANS. Commander McSwain Desires To Form Camps For Young Men In Colleges In The State. To the Presidents and Professors oi Colleges for Young Mlen in South Carolina. As Division Commander of the United Sons of Confederate Veter ans, I address you with reference to the formation of camps of these me morial organizations in your respec tive colleges. Our organization is not partisan; is not intended to ob scure the historical vision: its purpose is simply to record the facts of history as made by our fathers. We believe the formation of camps in all our colleges for young men will be help ful to the students themselves, to the institution where organized and to the order itself. fany of the pro fessors themselves will be eligible for membership, while many are survi vors of that grand body of Southern soldiers, that made their fame immor tal, to the perpetuation of whose glory our order is dedicated. and thus may may be established a bond of sym pathy between teacher and taught. the two elements of the college commun ity, and the institution itself thus uni fied, is strengthened. Again it can be but an ennobling and inspiring in luence in the lives of sti-dents for them to take the leaders of the South Ern hosts. as their ideals of chivalry. hnor. courage and perseverance. It must dignify their habits of thought nd deportment, to realize what a ieritage of glory is theirs as the sons yf men, no less worthy of renown han the three hundred who died at ['hermopylae, men who fought and ;,ffered for pure principle. and sur endered only when longer resistance 6vould be suicide. Our order whose purpose is to give hese heroes in gray their just .place n history, can but be greatly helped )y the organization when they shall iave begun to influence thought and eeling in their respe:-tive spheres, we ,ish them to be prel .d to make the :ruth of the past the verdict of the fu ure. that their fathers were not trait >rs and rebels, but liberty-loving pa riots. We trust that the faculties and stu- I lents of our colleges will at once take Lctive steps to accomplish the organ zation of camps of Sons of Veter Lns. The charter fee is only $2.00, nd the annual dues per member for :omp, division and confederation pur )oses need not exceed 25 cents a year. suggest that a students' meeting be :alled, and that all lineal descendan+s )f those who engaged in any way in he Confederate service be requested o give in their names,. if -hey wish o join the organizatin, and that the mes obtained, if the number exceed en young men over sixteen years of ge, be forwvarded with the fee of ~2.oo for charter. wvith the proposed ame of camp. to Win.

The Ways of a Politician. "There is a man in my district," said Representative "Tom" Kyle, the Sweet Singer of Ohio, according to he New York World, "whose name s Doyle. He is a politician and he as the fatal habit of promising all hings to all men. Nobody ever went to him to ask him to get him a job that Doyle did not say, 'Why, yes, I'll get that for you!' "Nine times out of ten Doyle doesnt make good, but he goes on promising just the same. Some years ago two Iishmen who worked in a boiler fac tory in .my town were busy riveting. One man was inside the boiler hold ing a hammer against the rivets and the other was outside swinging the sledge and making the rivets fast. "After half hour's steady pound ing the man inside struck his head out of the boiler and said: " 'Say. Pat, did ye hear that they've been after makin' this man Corrigan a cardinal' "'Are ye tellin' me? asked Pat; why d'e know,. Doyle promised that job to me.' H-ow far can a rabbit go into th woods?
