Cotton Paving Used In Southern Cities Along shady Valliant street In Greenville, Miss., a crew of road-1 workers rolled a huge, eight-foot wide bolt of cotton fabric, white and coarse, and seemingly more suitable' for curtains or dresses than for this strange use. Housewives on Vallluut street rubbed their eyes iucredtously. What was City Engineer Frank Hall up to spreading hundreds of square yards of cotton material on the street which had been a gravel one, and which had been scraped down for a new kind of hard-surfacing? They came out on the sidewalk, talking to each other and~4e--th0 engineer who was putting down first cotton-membrane streets 0^1 a large scale in the United States. Fassersby figured the heavy, looslywoveu fabric which the workers were fitting upon the priming of asphalt, which had been laid earlier upon the prepared gravel. Greenville was lnauguaratlng this summer's day a road paving program which would result lu the hard surfacing of 55 blocks of city streets with a cotton membrane filler between layers of asphalt. The work was being undertaken experimentally, on a large scale, In connection with the Department of Agriculture, which was supplying thd fabric. The program has been envisioned by Mayor Milton Smith and City Engineer Hall. And It was fitting that In Greenville in the heart of the long-staple cotton producing Mississippi Delta, this first large scale experiment in cotton paving sfcould be made. Only 30 miles away, at Scott, Miss., Oscar Johnston, president of the National' Cotton Council, and operator of one of the world's largest cotton plantations had himself laid down a mile of cotton road some seven years ago. The way In which the Scott plantation road had stood up under heavy trucking automobile travel and plantation machinery had convinced his neighbors that cotton could make an ideal membrane in the building of enduring hard-surfaced roads. The National Cotton Council Itself had become convinced this year of the potentialities of cotton road building. To the task of experimenting in this new use for cotton it had assigned Dean Gilchrist of.Texas A. and M. And upon his findings depend the possible use of a million bales of cotton a year in road making. But Greenville hadn't waited for theee findings, for the city officials had already -been-eonvtaced-lyjr- the mile laid down at Scott and by similar small scale ventured in New Jersey. The theory behind the proposed use of cotton in such roads is that it acts as a cushion between layers of gravel and asphalt, as well as a binding material and slows down the deterioration of the hard-surfaced road. If cotton is proved to be an important factor in road-preserving, its use will be a construction economy, for In hard-surfaced roads, the. upkeep rather than the initial cost is what burdens the taxpayers. The actual laying of ' roads with cotton binder is as simple as ordinary blacktopping. The prepared base 1b i first primed with asphalt, which is absorbed by the base in approximately 24 hours. The cotton membrane is ' then laid down, by being unrolled the lenghth of the street, doubling and splicing where necessary. Asphalt Is then applied to the cotton and covered with gravel, and the'gravel, covered with coarse sand and broomed and rolled to a resultant dense, smooth surface. Other cities besides Greenville aro also experimenting In cotton roads, through the cooperation of the Department of Agriculture. But the drive to make the nation cotton-road conscious awaits tho report of Dean Gilchrist.?Monroe Enquirer. \ _ Raises Canadian Geese William P. Smith of Clover, veteran sportsman, who loves to hunt partridges. ducks and geese, as well as doer, and also likes to play at Izaak Walton's favorite sport, has on his premises at Clover a flock of fifteen Canadian wild geese, which he has raised. The geese are not "wild" now, and they make their headquarters in Mr. Smith's yard, and delight in making flights about Clover several times each day. Admittedly these geese as they may fly around, and even alight at times away from the home base, present a great temptation to would-be sportsmen to try their hands at shooting them. None have been shot yet, and Mr. Smith is hoping that none of them will be kill-' ed' or even shot at, as he Is hoping to develop his flock of geese until he has many more of them. No real sportsman will shoot at the tame "wild" geese.?Yorkvllle Enquirer. The appellate division of New York supreme courC last week granted Adolph G.

Dlspatches eoutinuo to report unofficially the evacuation of Aachen, known to the French as Aix-la-Chapelle, and the Increualng concentration .there of German troops shifted frofn the Polish front It is a German border town within a few miles of the common boundary of Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The city is on the route of the German invasion of Belgium in 1914. "Aachen is a city of more than 160.000 population in Germany's highly industrial northwest section, less than ( forty miles west of Koln (Cologne), iu the Prussian Hhineland," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C.. headquarters of the Natioual Geographic Society. "This city has many sulphur and thermal springs and has been for centuries an International health rosort long popular with the British. It has also been (iouveuient in the past for international congresses, with the result that three Important treaties were signed there in past centuries. "Such notables a? Frederick the Great, Handel, and Napoleon are among those who took the cure at Aachen. Even the ancient IlomanB had a name for the town, 'Aqulsgranum\ after Apollo Granus, the god of hot springs. It was a favhrlte resort of the Romans as far back as the first century, A. D. But the outstanding figure associated with the place 1b Charlemagne; because of this association it was proclaimed a 'holy city'^ "Aachen today Impresses the visitor as a modern hut commonplace manufacturing eity, with some spacious boulevards as well as the small drab thoroughfares of a factory center. It has large cloth and metal manufactures. "Such greatness as the city has comes from the aura of antiquity, with a few relics and ruins still extrant to tie it definitely to the glamorous past of Charlemagne. It has been suggested that Charlemagne may have been born at Aachen. In the latter part of the eighth century he built his palace there, making it one of the capitals of empire and a center of culture and learning. The Aachen library today has more than 100,000 volumes and the museum has many Spanish, Flemish and German masterpieces. "Attached to the palace was Charlemagne's chapel, source of the French name for the city, meaning the Chapel "Sprlfigs. The^chapel was later Incorporated in the cathedral of Aach, en, with Borne ninth century doors, the ancient chandelier presented by Frederick Barbarossa, and the plain white marble chair of Charlemagne. In the cathedral rest the remains of Charlemagne. The site of the palace is now occupied by one of the more picturesque town halls of Germany, built in the fourteenth century. "In the twelfth century a rampart!! was built around the city by Frederick I, and while the battlemented walls have since given place to boulevards, three of the city gates remain, Pont Tor, the Langer Turm, and Marschier Tor. Beginning with the coronation of Charlemagne's son, Louis Pious, in 813 A. M., thirty-two emperors and eleven queens were crowned In this modest cathedral near the center of the city. This distinction ceased when Maximilian 11 was crowned 'king of the Roman?', or German king, at FrankTurl-lumMaiu in 1562. "T^e city was occupied by the French in 1794, which accounts for the popularity of the French name of Aix-la-Chapelle. It remained under French control until awarded to Prussia in 1815. "It was a Aachen almost a century ago that Paul Julius Reuter organized his 'Iteuter's Agency' for the dissemination of news on the European continent, by telegraph, though for a time ho used carrier pigeons. He shortly removed to London where he became a British subject. The agency which he founded is now the moat important news gathering organization of the British empire. "Aachen Is on the northern slopes of the Ardennes on a small tributary to the Muese, in a vale sheltered by terraced forests, an adequate scenic setting for a watering resort. In the World war the resort hotels were used by Germany for hospitals; the trains, after carrying supplies over a fan-like system of railroads to the front, returned with their loads of wounded soldiers."

Kusued a lot of fishing talk In which he said that South Carolina had more different kinds of game fish dhau any other state In the union. Ho told of his method for fishing for crapple which ho said was very successful. He takes an ordinary gourd, cuts a small hole In the handle and inserts the desired number of crickets. Then he stops the hole with a cork stopper and as a bait Is needed he simply pulls the stopper, and the cricket seeing the light makes for It crawling gently out into his hand. The next operation la to hook the bult on a five ounce fly rod and cast, halting the cast just short of the water allowing It to touch the water lightly and Bink slowly.
