FOR BETTER ROAPS.
proper Sapenrldon, Taxes Paid la
Money and Wide Tires.
There Is groat neej jn this state
of more Intelligent and experienced
road engineers and supervisors, so a j
to avoid a wasting of money and labor
In carrying out worthless plans for
work. Our people should realize that
the building of good public, roads requires
as much training nn.l experience
as does the building of railroads,
said Goveruor Russell of N'?rth Carolina.
The system of compulsory labor
on public roads has been abandoned in
most enlightened countries. In our
ouii? it is questionable whether we nre
Id a position to adept any uniform system
upon this subject because of the
wide variance of the conditions existing
in the different localities.
? In some places the property holders
B are able to bear the road tax, and the
W circumstances surrouudiug them are
aucb ss to make it to tbelr interest to j
TOO OFTE* MKT WITH.
do away with the compulsory system.
Id other localities perhaps the road tax
would amount to such n hardship as to
i ike It Impracticable.
The plan of employing short term
convicts on the roads lias proved ecoR
comical and satisfactory in a number
of counties In this and other states,
and the system could be well extended.
In several states even the long term
convicts have, with satisfactory results.
been employed in quarrying and
crushing stone for macadamizing public
roads, and the material thus prepared
has been sold to the various
counties and municipalities at the actual
cost of preparing It, thus reducing
Its cost one-half or two-thirds. Of
course no amount of legislation will of
Itself radically change the existing
conditions, but perhaps laws providing
for the working of the public roads
may be enacted so ns to stimulate and
direct better work in this direction.
It Is coming to be generally rcccg
nixed that the use of wide tires on all
wagons and other draft vehicles will I
greatly aid the keeping of public roads
In better condition. In a number of
states laws have been enacted encouraging
the introduction and use of these
wide tires, and the results there are
said to be highly satisfactory. It is desirable
that legislation looking In this
~ direction should be enacted In North
Carolina.
WATER BREAKS.
Pret?r Wax to Prevent Wanhonta on
Hillaldea.
In order to prevent the washing out
of earth roads on hills, it sometimes
becomes necessary to construct water
breaks?that Is, broad, shallow ditches
arranged so as to catch the surface water
and carry It each way into the side
ditches. Such ditches retard traffic to
a certain extent and often result In
overturning vehicles. Consequently
they should never be used until all other
means have failed to cause the water
to flow Into the side channels. Nel
thor Bhould they be allowed to croas
the entire width of the road diagonally,
but should be constructed in the shape
tho letter V. This arrangement per?nlts
teams following the middle of the
road to cross the ditch squarely and
thus avoid the danger of overturning.
These ditches should not be deeper than
Is absolutely necessary to throw the ,
water off the surface, aud the part in
the center should be the shallowest.
Unfortunately farmers and road masters
have a fixed Idea that the one way
to prevent bills, long and short, from
washing Is to heap upon them quantities
of those original tumular obstructions
knowu Indifferently as "thankyou-ma'ams,"
"breaks" or "hummocks,"
and the number they can
squeexe in upon a single bill is positively
astonishing.
A Oar* of ??n? meads.
^^The more one Improves the drainage
of a sand road the more deDlorable
becomes Its condition. Nothing will
rnln one quicker than to dig a ditch on
each sldo and drain all the water
away. The best way to make such a
road firm is to keep it constantly
damp. Very busby or shady trees
alongside such roads prevent the evaporation
of water.
The usual way of mending roads
Which run over loose, sandy soils Is
to cover iue surface whu tough clay
or mix the clay and sand together.
This Is quite an expensive treatment
If the clay has to be transported a
great distance, but the expense may
be reduced by improving only eight or
ten feet or half of the roadway.
Wasting Pnbllo Money.
The building of macadam roads offers
opportunities for manifold mistakes
and for an enormous waste of
public funds. If ever it be true that
what Is worth doing Is worth doing
well, It is emphatically true In the
building of stone roads. If a macadam
road cannot be built right from
the start. It bad better not be built at
all to prevent a needless waste of mon%ey.
ifirery good macadam road testifies
to the value of durable highways.
While every stone road Improperly
hullt throws a shadow of doubt upon
the movement fee better roads.?Otto

MOB THREATENS WILLIAMS.
Well Known Kmlgratlon Agent In

I.I ADisow, G?., Jan. 10.?W. A Wil?
l.f.mi, the emigration agent, who during
the past six weeks has seut 2,500 negroes
oct of Morgan conntj into Mis-ties'.ppt
snd Arkansas, has been in jail
here 24 hoars as a measure of safety, a
mob of futiiure having threatened hia
life at Greensboro Saturday afternoon.
WiUiauu who is kuown all over the
south as "Peg Leg Williams," has been
in Morgan, Greene ur.d Newtou counties
for some time au<t had engaged a
number of negroes to leuvo Greensboro
Saturday night for the west uud was
there arranging for their departure.
The negroes have beeu leaving the
farmers iu large numbers and many ot
them are entirely without help.
J lie decided, for their owu
protection, to have Williams arrested.
He wan charged with violating a county
ordinance, and. refusing to pay a tax,
was taken to jail. The farmers, many
of whom were in town, were threatening
and the news of the arrest spread
along the line of the Georgia railroad.
Saturday night it was learned that a
mob of farmers was coming up from
Covington to help deal with Williams,
and the sheriff decided to move the offender.
This was done, Williams being
landed in jail hero.
"MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE."
Preacher Scores Jullit Morrison For
Her Conduct Slue* th Trial.
Chattanooga, Jan. io, ?Rev. J. A. j
Brougher, pastor of the First Baptist
church, preached on the subject of murder
last night, basing his remarks upon
the recent tric.l of Julia Morrison James.
He said:
"When such miscarriages of justico
as that are set up as examples before
the people of the country, we must expect
pistol carrying,lyucbings and mobs.
The verdiot was actually applauded by
many of our citiaens, which of neceacity
must show an unhealthy di regard
for the orlme of murder in the publio
miud.
"I might have forgiven the jury for
t?. ??-? ?

of the womiu afterwards. Iiad
he had the common decency to hare
retired to priTaoy and left the place
with tho injunction, 'go thou and sin
no more,' it wonld not have been so bad.
She did not do this, bat continues before
Che public gaze as an example of
our justioe.
"1 hope when she leotures it will be
to empty seats, and that the public will
not tolorate each a spectacle.

letter from Hon. Henry D. Olayton,

Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 10.?Official
figure* an the shipments of pig iron
from Alabama and Tennessoe during
the year 189? show a large increase over
the wovequent of the previous year.
The total for the paii. year amounted to
1,571,670 tons, an increase of 218,600
tons. Alabama furnished SO per cent
of this amount and the Birmingham
district forwarded 045,069 tons of the
total, an increase over 189b of 86,(390
tons.
Iron pipo shipments from Alabama
aud Tennesseo for the year were 146,687
tons, an increase over 1898 of 16,287
tons. Of this amount, the Birming<
ham district furnished 57,289 tons, an
increase of 12,708 tons. Export iron
shipments, practically all of which woro
furnished by tho Birmingham district, (
amounted to 167,008 tons, u decrease j

That this decreaso was not greater in '
faco of the extraordinary home demand
aud the high domestic price is to be accounted
for only by the fact or largo
foreign bookings made before the domestic
boom began.
Export pipo shipments were 11,742
tons. They came from the Bessemer
plant of the United States Cast Iron
Pipo company and wont mainly to the
Olty of Mexico for waterworks.
