I'uited States Department of Agriculture Takes It Up?Macadam ami Telford System?Model North Carolina Roads. The I'liitinl States DeWirtmcnt of Agriculture lias taken up the matter of farmers roads,'' avers the Chicngp Record, and Roy Stone, the engineer lite department, believes the farmers eau luiild good roads without ini|)overisliiiig themselves. On this subject Engineer Stone says: 'In the tirst place the road that will liest suit the need of the farmers must not lie too costly; in the second place it must 1m of the verv best kind, for tin* weather more than in wet. If it ran lie saved this wear for an average of six months in esieli year, so inneh will b3 elear gain. "The question rises regaiding this method of eonstruetion are: Can the .junction of the earth and stone sections of the ror.d be kejit even so as not to liave a jog in {Kissing from one. to the other, and the meeting and {Kissing of loaded teams lie provided fori" Mr. Stone cited the condition of the Canandaigua (X. V.) roads as evidence that there is no sign of division lietwcen the earth and stoiqj. and added that these roads say that no difficulty is found in the {Kissing of teams, since practically no two teams ever turn out at exactly the same sjiot, and no rutting of the earth road occurs. The league of American wheelmen has taken up the cause of gt km I roads, and men who are accustomed to feel the public pulse say that good roads will soon Ik* a dominant issue in Slate and National i?olitics. What bicycle riders are doing at present was done by the horseless vehicle men of Kugland in Is:{I, when their agitation resulted in the npiHiiutiiient of a committee of the House of Coilunous "to inquire into and to report ii]miii the proportion of lolls which might to l>e iiii)M?scHl upon coaches and other vehicles pro]?elled I?y steam or gas ujH)ii turnpike roads." It was just about thistiinc tli.it .lames Macadam. roail surVcyori and-Thomas 'Vclt'ohl. President of the Institution of Ci\il Engineers, with their adherents, were engaged in a eontroversary regarding the relati\e merits of "Macadam" Telford". ro;tds. I'p to that time England's liest rotuls were the remains of the old Woman roads hut Macadam and Telford liegati an era of road huilding. each after his own kind, which brought English roads to a high state of development and those two systems which to day liear their names. The macadam road has the earth graded and rolled for its foundation. The principles laid down by Macadam were as follows: It is the natural soil which really rup]torts the weight of travel; while it is preserved in a dry state I will carry any weight without sinking. This native roil must nreviotislv he mode j . ? ? f|!iit<* dry anil a covering as Mjurh imjH'lit'trablr I" as jx>ssjjjli\ |ni|sj tlipn lie placed over it to preserve it in that dry state. That the thickness of a road should only Im> regulated by the quantity of material necessary to form such inqs-rvious covering and never by any reference to its own power of carrying weight. These principles, modified in some respects, govern the making of a maepdiifii foadway tjMlay. 'J'lie natural earth foundation is graded so that the curve of the foundation will U* parallel to the curve of the surfaca of the roadway when completed. The earth foundation is rolled and remlled under a heavy roller until the earth is linn, coin- I pact and even. On Isilh sides u! ihe road wax exea\ at ions are made for the drains. In the bottom of the ditch thus made tiling is J farmers should 1*? able to ilo his heavy ) i:i I il i n<r nvin* if u'lutn liiu f'utl.lu oeu vtv. hi ?? uvii inn aiunmc iuu wet to work and his teams arc free. The road that would seem to till the farmer's need, all things considered, is a solid, well-bedded stone road, so narrow as to only a single track, hut having an earth track alongside. "A tine, dry, smooth dirt track is the lierfectioii of roads; it is easy on the horse's feet and legs, easy on the vehicle ami free from noise and jar. It holds the snow I letter than gravel or stone and requires less snow to make sleighing, and where such a load has a stone road alongside to-|pko the travel in wet weather it wjl^suffer hardly any ai>preciable wear. "The stone road, on the other hand, wears by the grinding of the wheels and the chipping of the horses calks in dry Uu?l. humwI with liay, straw or some such tittering material, ami over it is laid broken stone in such a manner that water will easily timl its way down to the tile. Sometimes, instead of tiling, bundles of rods or straight limlw of trees, Ixnmd together fagot fashion, are laid in the < bottom of the drains instead of tiles. This'is a eheajter construction, but is not regarded so good as the U-shaped tiling. When the midway has been graded and lolled and the drains have been built the first layer of broken stone is put on the rolled surface of ihe earth foundation. This layer is alout six inches deep, and consists of broken stone, no piece too large to pass through a ring of two and one-half inches inside diameter. When this layer is evenly spread over the foundation the roller is again brought jiuu use. ami iiic sione layer is rolled until it is tirin and connect. The stone is sprinkled with water Ijefore the roller is passed over it. and sometimes clean, sharp sand is sprinkled over the stone. The second layer, thick enough to bring the stone bed up to ten inches, is next spread on and rolled, and then atop layer of clean gravel or stone clappings is put 011 and rolled. Care is taken that the gravel shall not lie waterworn, with smooth, round cornels, for this is injurious to the roadway. The Tell'ord road diIters materially from the macadam, for it has a foundation of stones laid down singly, with the broad side down, and the spaces lxjtween the stones idled with smaller, rough, w edge-shaped stones driven in solid. Originally the Telford foundation was "eonvexed" by laying the largest stones to form the crown in the center of the roadway and then grading down to the gutters with smaller stones, hut this practice is no longer followed, for the . earth is graded to form the crown as it is done in a macadam road. The earth foundation is well rolled and then the sub-pavement is laid on with the long side of the stone set transversely. between these stones stone chips are packed firmly and then brokeu stone is placed over tlie sul>-pnvejnent in two litvers. the first layer being rolled and itacked liefore the second is lakl on. This layer of broken stone forms the intermediide course, for the surface is made of stone broken in smaller pieces and paeked under a light roller. Sand is swept over the surface and another rolling with a heavier roller completes the I pavement. The sand is moistened and I the rolling is continued until the sand can no longer l*e driven in between the broken stone. Drains are laid, as they are for macadam roads. before the subpavement is built. A simple experiment, which can lx? made with any wheel, will show why a smooth, hard-surfaced road makes hauling easy for a horse. On such a road the roadway is tangent to the circumference of tla- wheel. The wheel stands on the immediate jioinl of contact, and there is no oUstaclc over which the wheel must be lit'letl. On a sandy or loose. s??ft earth road Hit* wheel sinks into the roadway. To draw the wheel forward the earth l>efore its track must Ik* displaced or passed over, so that a horse, in addition to the force it must exert to draw the load, must use extra force to overcojne the obsjacle in flic |>a|h of the Whpel In Meekletihurg county, North Carolina, the systematic improvement of rojyds has made progress for nearly fifteen years, The general plan adoptctl was to start at the city limits of the county seat and to grade and macadam all public roads from this point out toward the township and county limits. These roads have a width of forty feet for the lirst two miles from the city limits and I icy olid this |mint a width of thirty-six feet. i in- average cosi ol IIICSO roiuis, including the macadamizing and grading, W alHiut SJ.'Kki a Mmli of 1 lit* r?;ad l>uildii|g in this count} is ?|(>iit* I?> convicts.

For four years Mrs. Forsythe lived under the smoke of the camion, being a soldier's wife who went through the en tire war with her liusUuid. Thrice wedded and thrice widowed, twice the mother of a posthumous child and again on the last day of the war left desolate with a tiny IkiUo in her arms, her experience as wife and mother, says the Chicago News, is almost unprecedented.

As a bride he went to the front with her husband and was actively interested in his oompuny, the Invinciblee, 13th Virginia. Among other things she presented the company with a handsome silk Mag, but during an engagement the color-bearer's arm was shot off, and the flag, gripped in the bloody baud, was captured by u Union soldier.

She buried Gen, 11 ill at Gouchlaud, Va,, laying hlui away in the uniforiu he wore when he fell. Afterward the Ixuly was removed to Hollywood, hut a few years ago Mayor Ginter donated the spot in ltlohinond where Gen. Hill organised his tlrst. company, and his Ikh1,v was taken (here and a splendid monument erected to his memory. His youngest daughter.
