SPRING TIME IS THE BEST
FOR SAND CLAY ROADS
Thirty-Five Thousand Miles Have
Been Built Mostly in The
Southern States.
Washington, I). (J., l<'eb, 2. Thore
are ut present about 35,000 miles of
Mind clay roads in tho United States,
mainly in the Southern States, ac
cording to tho *)ffice of Public
Roads, U. 8, Dept. of Agriculture.
Tho Time to work the roads ift In
the spring when thosoll la damp,
II the working of tho roada la de
ferred until late in summer 'when
th#?y tiro dry, they aro not only a
groat deal more difficult t? put in
proper ahapo bii-l the coat of repair
is greater than If they wcro work
ed early In the aprlng. >
Previous to 189 4 comparatively
little, If any, of thCBe roads exlat
ed. The popularity of thin type, of
road is due to the facts that It la
cheap, comparatively firm and dur
able, easy to construct and repair,
and that the materials out of which
it la built are, plentiful in many soc
ftlpns of the country.
The aand-clay road la made by
>mixing thte aand and clay in suoh
way that -the gralna of aand tpuch
each other, the Spaces between the
grains being filled with clay which
acta as a bindoT.
The approximate mixture of aand
and clay may be determined by fill
ing a vessel with a sample of tho
[sand to housed and another vessel
iof the same size with water. / Tho
j water is poured carefully into the
[sand until It reaches the point of
overflowing. The volume of water
I ^removed from tho second vessel re
presents approximately tl>e propor
tion of clay needed.
The proper proportion of sand
land clay can host be! determined,
[however, as the work progresses, as
lome clay will contain more sand
than others. In fact, cfaya are very
frequently found which already coin
tain about the right proortion of
land. i
If the road to be treated is san
yf the surface is first leveled off
nd crowned with a road machine,
ho crown being about 1-2 Inch to
he foot from the center to the
ides. Tho clay is then dumped on
ho surface and carefhlly spread, so
luct It will be from 6 to 8 inches
tt depth at the center, and tfrad
ially decreasing in depth towards
he sides. A layer of clean Band
s . then usually added, which is
horonghly mixed with the ' clay,
Jther by traftc or by means of
ilows and disk or tooth harrows.
< The best results have 'been ob
ined by thoroughly mixing or pud
ling the materials when wet. Kor
his reason, it iB desirable that the
lixing be done in wet weather,
he mixing can be loft to the traf
c after the materials have boon
roperly placed, but 'this involves a
'hole- winter and spring of bad
oad, and even then the mixing is
lot always . satisfactory. In all
ases, It is advisable to dress the
oad with a road machine or split-,
log drag after the materials have
oen thoroughly mixed, aud to give
t a crown of not more than 1 inch
r less than 3-4 inch to the foot
rom the center to the sides. ? A
ight coating of sand may then be
ded. The use of the road ma
hine ofr drag shouid be continued
t frequent intervals until -the sur
?face is Bnjooth and firm.
If the road -to be treated is com
?posed of. clay, it should first bej
rought to /a rough grade with a
oad machine. , The surface should
hen be plowed find thoroughly pul-j
erized by harrowing to a depth of
bout 4 inches after which it is
?given a crown or slope of about
-2 inch to the foot from the cen
ter to the sides. It is then cover
with 6 .to 8 inches of .clean,
sharp sand, which iB spread thlck
r in the center than at the sides. .|
KThe materials should then be mix
ed with plows and harrows - while
they are comparatively dry, after
hicli they are finally puddled with
harrow during wet weather. It J
lay works to the surface and the
proad beccomes sticky, more sand
?hould be added.
The road is then shaped, crowned,
ud ditched in the usual manner
1th a road machine. This should
?be done when the surface is soft,
et stiff enough to pack well under
he roller or the traffic. Wide, but
ihallow ditches should bo provided
On both sides of tho road, and cul-,
erta or crossdrains should be plac
whorever water flows across the
?road, for It Is exceedingly impor
ant that the "sand on clay" roads
?he wel\ drained. %
After the clay on sand, or the
nd on clay, road is completed, it
hould be carefully maintained un
1 the surface becogies firm and
tooth. The construction of this
ype of road is o>* no tp^ns a quick
peration. It *>?-. -~lcky P1*0*" |
ppoar, more sand a^ould be added,

ork. for, If they aYo neglected,

and (hoy wore nor rowed to hear of i
IiIh tragic death. It Is a remarks- 1

should liavo left tho following press
notice with the opera house manager
in ad vertlblng'' Mb play:
"The delicious charm and rare

of the Times building at Uroadway

bulletin of the burning of the ill-fat

'"That's why I nevor cared for

The old darkey turned and doff

TO HKLIi OPERA HOUHK
IJ':ds lnvitc<l For Hale of Building
Friday, February 20th.
At a meeting of City Council held
Monday night, the mutter of the
sale of t lie Camden opera house whh
again brought up. 4 After some dis
cussion It was agreed to advertise
the house and lot for sale to the
highest bidder. The sale will take
place after advertising fourteen days,
i It is the purpose of the council
1 that, should the present property
bring enough, to advertise for a site
fcr a new opera house on some
l street other than Hroad and erect
a modem theatre building With city
offices attached.
A well kuo\p theatre circuit man
in writing us a few days ago, said
that he was glad -to see by the
papers tlmt Camden was likely to'
have a new theatre in the near
future. Said he "1 belieVe that if
such was the case the capitalists,
as well as the public of your city,
certainly would not regret it for
business purposes. /Or, in other
words, an uptodate opera house or
theatre is a monument to any city.
On many occasions we have had op
portunities to send big attractions
to Camden, but, when the theatre
was investigated through our 'files
for the managers to present their
plays in that opera house so that
it was absolutely necessary to pass
up Camden." ? '*
Another matter of importance was
that of the removal of all awning
poles and signs from Hroad street.
The order of council will' be to the
effect that -they be removed some
time during the next six months.
The 'city attorney; was instructed
to investigate the matter of having
all telephone poles and wires re
moved I'rorn Hroad s-treet, extending
from DeKalb on the north to York
on the south.

Under the thick fog that hid tho
heavily running sea, both big ships
were making their way slowly and
with difficulty in tho early morning.
The Monroe, with ('apt.* Johnson on
the bridge mid double lookout
peering into the fog ahead, wan
edging under half speed to the
northward, having loft Norfolk for
New York last evening with a nerve
racking fog bound voyage in pros
pect. The Nantucket, heavily laden
with freight and with but two pas
sengers aboard, was nosing her way
southward, bound from Boston to
Norfolk. Urged through the drip
ping fog, the two vessols. slowly
were drawn toward each othci.
The crash came about 1:40 ?v
without warning, C)ut of (I
black fog that shut out even . v. ..
from view, the gleam of the . 1- )
tucket's searchlight scarcely touched
the dripping side of the Monroe be
fore the high steel prow of the
southward bound vessel cut into her
side with a ripping and crashing of
plates that threw the stricken ship
aback. ,i
The Damage Hone*.
The Nantucket with her bow
crushed in, backed out of sight iu
(the fog, as Capt. Johnson, seeing
that bis vessel was fatally stricken,
shouted an order for the lifeboats.
When the crash canVe those aboar
the Monroe were safely in bed and
all asleep. Only Capt. Johnson, and
the watch 011 deck Were up and
about. Hut the shivering of the
(Stricken vessel, and her listing mo
tion, as the water pourred through
the gash in her side awakened the
sleeping passengers and sent them
clambering toward the deck. Warn
ed by the officers, they hurriedly ad
Justed liTe preservers and made for
the tilted deck. Rut the time was
all too brief. Those rescued agreed
that from the time, the Monroe was
struck until she setled beneath the
waves, not more than a short ten
minutes elaj>sed.
llut Little to Wear.
Baggage, clothing, valuables were
forgotten In the flight from tho stat
rooms of the sinking ship. Pajamas,
night gowns and bathrobes and
blankets were the cominan apparel
of those who made the slippery
deck before the water trapped them
below. And most of thera wore that
"fearb when they left the limping Nan
tucket at the dock here this after
noon.
As the half-clad, excited throng of
passengers reached the deck, they
were herded towards tho lifeboats bjr
officers and crew. Three of the life
boats from one side of the crippled
vessel were got away from the side
freighted with frightened humanity,
mostly woftien, shivering In tho wet
and cold in their flimsy night cloth
ing. By the time these were away
the Monroo was rolling over on her
side and it was impossible to launch
the other boats.
With a sudden lurch the liner,
now fast' ' filling, t'ollfcd over* on her
side, ..throwing up her uninjured aide
submerging cabins and saloons.
(Jlimbod to Top.
With a chorus of shrieks the un
fortunates left on tho sinking? vessel
turned, and crawling like rats, made
their way over tho superstructure,
through port holes, windows and
companionways, until they rested,
Just out of reach of waves on the
upper side of the half-capsized ves
sel. But even this slippery security
was not long available. With a
rumbling sound tho big vessel piling
ed beneath the waves, leaving her
human freight afloat on the icy
bosom of the ocean.
Meantime the Nantucket, herself
badly damaged, was standing by, an
Capt.. Berry had aroused his sleep
ing crew. As tho ineffectual raya
of. the searchlight failed to pierce
the blanket of fog, Capt. Berry or
dered out his lifeboats, and one by
one they slipped away into the fog
to search for the Monroe.
Only Scattering Humanity.
They found only the struggling
survivors afloat in the icy sea, cry
ing frantically for help." Many of
those picked up were utterly ex
hauHted.i and unable to help them
selves. Several had to bo hauled
over the sides of the Nantucket with
ropes. Tlvonias It. Harrington kept
his wife afloat hy swimming with
her hair in his teeth, onlyto have
her die a few minutes after she
was hauled aboard the Nantucket.
