W" THE TRAGEDY OF TOLSTOI. Atlanta Constitution. Those gifts that made of Tolstoi a world-wide interpreter of the dark woes of Russia, led up also to his tragic passing, and sat as crrim and faithful snpctrps while kindly death whispered peace to his tortured spirit. For Tolstoi?as men came later to know him?had an exquisite faculty for feeling, an unfath- i omed capacity for suffering, compassion that was almost an affliction, a passion for penance 1 that was quenched only by the placid tide of dissolution. In Russia?inscrutable land of ; snow and blood, ice and iron? i were opportunities all too fre- i quent for the cultivation of these terrible gifts of the mind and the spirit. The harvest of despotism i that stretches back for centuries 1 must needs be a dreadful one. A simple and many-millioned peasantry seared by oppression, scourged by hunger, mocked by j cold, unmanned by bayonet-ribbed "justice" that could rive apart families or snuff out those sacred rights that are most common in the world outside. Small wonder that Tolstoi wrote wonderful tragedies ? tragedies that stir the tamest souls to , anger and helpless pity?while all about him was a land of which tragedy seemed the birthright. He made men feel, and shud- | der, and think, and sacrifice life, , if thereby they might advance f Ko ^ Q\r r\? onlirntirtM HTU?4- I viiv uaj vi otii vatiuii. X lid I IS J why he was so great an artist. ; His own sacrifice was not in vain. Today Freedom travels with great strides in Russia. And men who feared, and hated, and sought to circumscribe him, now seek how best they may placate those who loved him by laying blossoms on his sepulcher. Value of Good Roads. The substitution of good for bad roads would directly reduce the cost of living by reducing the haulage cost on food products. It has been proved by actual figures that in every case where the roads have been im?*-oved, the rural population has increased. To quote Senator J. H. . Bankhead, of Alabama, "The trend of population from country to city is most apparent in those sections of the country which are isolated by reason of bad roads. An example illustrating this point has been cited by the United States office of pubic roads in which it is shown that in 25 counties showing an increase of population from 1890 to 1900, averaging 30,000 to the county, 40 per cent, of the roads were improved and maintained in first class condition, while in 25 counties in the same States showing a loss of population in the same period of 3,000 to the county, only a little over 1 per cent, of the roads were adequately improved. It is rarely the case that the average increase is less than 20 per cent, of the total value, while numerous examples can be cited of increases exceeding 100 per cent. The last Federal census,'taken in 1900, shows that there has been an increase in the farm values of the United States amounting to 27 per cent, and that only four States of the1 union show a depreciation of farm values. Massachusetts shows the largest percentage of increase in these values and this increase has developed since the policy of State aid for road improvement was adopted. Prior to that time , the farm values in that State were depreciating." Lime Not a Substitute. The idea yet exists among many that lime is a fertilizer. If lime is applied no commercial fertilizer need be bought, think scores of farmers. This is far from being the case. Lime is needed on many soils, but not to take the place of the phosphoric acid and potash of commercial fertilizers. Its function is to sweeten the soil, to make a sandy soil more compact and a clay soil more open, and to liberate plant food that exists in the soil. Lime will usually stimulate the soil to greater production for a few years, but if no stable manure, commercial fertilizer nor green manure is used the yields will fall off until they will be below what they were before lime was applied. Senator Tillman will attend the sessions of Congress in Washington during the present winter. This announcement was made Friday by Dr. J. W. Babcock, superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, who spent Thanksgiving at Trenton with Senator Tillman.
