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

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.
