WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, Jan 2*2 ? Col Bry? an's visit to Washington brought about a general interchange of dem? ocratic opinions, which resulted it. showiog, beyond question, that sil ver, trusts snd imperialism will be the foremost issues in this year's campaign While willing to talk freely on moat subjects, Col Bryan will not express an opinion on where the democratic convention should be held, or who should be tbe csodidste for vice president lie said of im perialiam : "I sm opposed to impe risltsm I sm opposed to the per? manent retention of tbe Philippines I believe tbst this government should at oooe declare its intention to give iodepeodeooe to the Filipinos, 011 the same terms that independence has been promised to tbe Cubans I am oot opposed to sll expansion Each proposed snnexatiop should be set? tled oo its own merits I have tried to distinguish betweeo the peaceful extension of a republic and the ohsogs of a repuMio into sn empire " Of his attitude toward trusts, Col Bryan said : "I propose thst a Fed oral lioeose shsll be required of every corporation organizad in any state, before it is allowed to do business ontoide of that state While thie liceuse would permit a eorportiou, so far ss the Federa' government is concerned, to do bmiiuess outside of tbe stste io wbiob it is organized, it should oot impsir tbe right of sny stste to impose sny restriction, even to the point of , prohibition, ss the people deem oeeesssry for their pro tectioo The state and Federal rem? edies should be concurrent.

Mr Norman K.

I find for tourists and salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where head? aches and general bad feeliugs from irregular habits eiist, that Green's August Flower is a grand remedy.

MAC?DAi ROADS. The Government Working With Clemson to Improve the Highways. Special to The State. Cleoieoo College, Jao 19?There was a large atteodaooe at the meeting of tbe Scientific Association last even? ing Colonel Newman introduced Mr Charles T H arriboo, who is coonooted with the "Offioe of lload Icquiry" at Wanhi jgton, as tbe speaker of tbe evening. Tbe speaker gave an outline of the history of road making io tbe United States, giving Henry Clay aod John C. Calhouo credit for being the first champions of the cause of good roads built by tbe government. Tbe first macadam road to Soutb '.'arolioa built with goveroment aid is aow being put down on the Calboun estate Two million dollars has beeu spent in Ken? tucky in the improvement of the highways. Civilization and good roads I go hand in hand. Very few farmers count the cost of transportation, hut it kg one of the souroes of grer.t expeoeo This is shown in tbe building of ootton milN aod io tbo looatioQ of large manufac? turing enterprises. Tboy are always placed near a ratlraad to save the enormous expense of hauling tbo pro? ducts, as well as oosl aod raw material. Some of the best mill sites are left undeveloped because of (ho lack of good roads Tbe first thiog to be cooeidered is grado ; go round the hill or evco through it rather tbao over it It is Mil to impossible to have a good road without a good grado. Seoond to importance is tbe dra age, both surface aod underground. Ooe ?f (he chief objects of the macadam road is to serve as a roof to keep the bed dry. The road is no better tbao the foundation wbioh is kept strong by botog kept dry. Tbe first, idea ot Mao%dam was to build roofs ovor the highways, but ibis was decided impraotioale because of tbo danger of beiog crushed by snowfalls. Clay absorbs ona-fourih its bulk of water, and it is tbis presence or abscnoo of moiHturo that makes tbe road bad or good. Tbo clay roads would bo greatly ? unproved by beiog rouoded to tbe mid? dle und kopt drained. Many ot tbo macadam roads are inferior because of iosuffioieot rolliog before the coating of stone is put down. Roiling is of primo importance Tbis is tbe first agricultural station to use the wide tiro exclusively Wido tires are road makers not road breakers. Too wide tire h used by compulsion in Franco, tbe width varying with too load to bo supported. With tbo assistants of Mr Poats, many ?tereopttoon views were exhibit? ed, showing otoarly bow the work of road construction is carried on, togeth? er wi'h interesting views of celebrated roaos, ancient and modern. -wiewsa* - The Converted Infidel.

"Bot I take it for granted, if there ever was a doubt in any one's mind that tho doctrine of Jefferson does not survive, that that doubt was forever expelled when the Chicago platform was adopted and that grand acd rragoi fioeot leader, William Jeoniogs Bryan, was made our staodard bearer. "What tho Teo Commandments, wbioh were delivered by God Almighty on Mount Sinai to Moses, were to the ehildren of Israel, the Chicago ? plat? form is. or ought to be, to the honest working people of America today.

Every cue knows, who knows at aii, that I am a orank about Bryan and the Chicago platform ; but why not oall a spade a spade and be honest in the expression or' our opin? ions. "Bryan will not be elected president, and the Chicago platform will not be established as the fixed policy of this country And why do I say so Be? cause organizsd capital and organized brains of the highest order are backed by a determioatio^ that will outdo us With euch opposition to contend with nothing short of revolution will bo abie to overthrow it.
