Rclntlon of Oood Hond to Pnbllc School" AcccHUlbllltr Factor In Eilncntlon A Stpte In Measured by Its Ronds. Tho counties of southern Alabama met In convention nt Mobile recently nntl organized ft good roads associa tion, elected officers and adopted a series of resolutions demanding such legislation ns will place the state in a position to plan and construct public roads In a more scientific manner than at present obtains. The Hon. J. W. Abercromble, super intendent of public Instruction for the state of Alabama, discussed the sub ject of "Good Roads and Their Rela tion to Country Schools." He spoke in part as follows: "The enrollment in the white schools of Alabama is only 04 per cent of the school population. In the colored schools It is only 48 per cent Deduct ing 25 per cent for withdrawals and irregularity in attendance, which Is a very low estimate, we have a dally at tendance In the white schools of 48 per cent of school population and In the colored schools a dally attendance of 80 per cent. In those states where the roads nre good the average daily at tendance Is from 25 per cent to 50 per cent greater. It Is reasonable to con clude then that something besides gen eral Interest Is necessary. "Though the Interest be widespread nnd Intense, the enrollment and attend ance will be regulated greatly by the nnst nf pnlncr. For several years our common schools have been practically free. Now they are entirely tree ror ai least four mouths In the year. Yet lir nttnndance Is not ns large .or as regular ns It should be not ns large or lis regular ns It Is In many other states. Hence wo conclude thnt something be sides general interest and free tuition Ir tippiIpiI. "Somebody may suggest that the great necessity Is a competent teach ing force. It Is conceded, I believe, by those who are experienced In such mnttors that no school can be a suc cess, in the fullest sense of the term, without a thoroughly qualified teacher, one In whom the people have faith. It wns for flint reason that the lawmak ing power established recently n new svsteni for the examination and certln cation of teachers, by which tile quali fications of the teachers In the public schools hnve been Increased more than 100 per cent. The board created for that purpose has labored faithfully nnd Impartially nnu fearlessly to elimi nate from the rnnlcs of the educators thoso who nre not qualified for the service. Groat thlnirs have been ac complished in that direction. Our teachers are better fitted for efficient service than ever before. Yet the at tendance upon the schools, the country schools especially, is too frequently small aiul Irregular. Something is nec essary other than general Interest or free tuition or qualified teachers. "A school may have all these things, may be perfectly equipped as to build ing, furnishings and trained teacher, and at the same time prove to be a fail ure on account of lack of accessibility. Accessibility depends upon the quality of the public roads. Our good public roads are on n par with our good schoolhouses. The one would be about ns difficult to find ns the other. What Is tho encouragement to erect good buildings along Impassable highways? We do not build good residences even In such places. Business establish ments nnd industrial enterprises do not flourish there. Inaccessibility and high civilization seldom accompany each other. Senator John T. Morgan spoke truly when, in a recent letter to Mr. L. ..USE PURE.. Artificial Ice Telephone Main 105. No Sediment to Foul Your Refrigerator No Disease Germs to Endanger Your Health FjMSML & ROSS L. Gilbert, secretary of the Montgom ery Commercial and Industrial associa tion, he said: 'Not only arc good roads pleasant and ornamental features or n country, but they are the wisest and most economical bestowal of money nnd labor. Every civilized country is measured by Its roads ns mucli as It Is by Its Industries In the estimate that men place upon Its value.' It Is pos sible to have good roads without good schools, but it is absolutely impossible to have the best of schools without rrnmi minis. An n rule, the efficiency of a country's common schools may be measured by the condition of Its pub lic roads." President D. P. Bestor of the board of trustees of 'the Medical College of Alabama discussed good roads In their relation to the medical profession and tho patient. He said the good roads movement had been making splendid progress. It must be remembered that It took nearly 100 yeare to-get the central government Interested In the question of rivers nnd harbors. Even Calhoun and King, who was an Ala bamlan, had been opposed to making these appropriations, nnd other great statesmen had been Blow about taking up the question of internal improve ments. But the good roads movement had met with a prompt public re sponse, and there was much to be thankful for. Coming down to the question of the physician's Interest In good roads, he said during a recent visit to another state he was Impressed by the fact that many of the physicians used bi cycles. They could not do It In Ala bama. In the state- to which he re ferred the physicians only charge $1 for a visit. An Alabama they charge $3. They had to do it, and the bad condition of the public ronds was responsible for It. Better roads would mean thnt the physician, whoso lot Is a hard one at best, would endure fewer hardships and he would be able to reach tho patient more quickly and would be able to do a better part by the patient. NEED OF GOOD ROADS. Tin' y Coat Money, but In the Cud Are Cheaper Than Poor Ones. The greatest need of the country is good roads. To have good roads wo must have a good road law, says Tex as Farm and Ranch. To hnve a good road law the people who use ronds must be made to comprehend their val ue. Then they will demand of state and icounty legislators to proceed to solve the problem. Good roads cost money, and myopic taxpayers hnve objected to any prac tical system on thnt account, whereas bad roads cost a' great deal more than telford or macadam. There Is no lack of facts and figures to prove this state ment true. Railroads, telegraphs and telephones are great modern agencies of civilization, and if there Is an ex ception to tho rule that civilization follows these institutions we huve fail ed to find it or hear of it But bad country roads greatly retard the civ ilizing process, besides levying the heaviest tax known to civilization. Rural mall delivery Is largely de pendent upon the character of our roads, and would be well nigh imprac ticable on the muddy lanes of the Texas black waxy section In wet weather. Therefore, to enjoy the bene fits of a dally mail, our people must go to work systematically to make better roads. What matters It If a road costs f3,000, $0,000 or even $10,000 per mile If, after it Is made, every person who ases It will feel glad that the expendi ture was made? Miss make's Tnrkeya. Miss Sallle Blake, who lived in Cal vert county, Md., like many country people, was in the habit of gathering chicken grapes in the fall for the pur pose of making a palatable nnd stltnu latlng decoction by pouring over the grapes" the proper quantity of whisky and allowing he mixture to stand for the necessary time. It happened on one occasion, after the contents of a demijohn containing the decoction had been exhausted, that Miss Blake emp tied the whisky soaked grapes on the ground, where her line brood of turkeys gobbled them up. Tho turkeys became drunk so drunk, In fact, that they were soon lying on the ground, sleeping off their jag. Miss Blake, not realizing the cause of their stupor, thought they were dead. In or der to realize as much as possible out of the supposed dead turkeys she had them picked -so as to get the feathers, and the carcasses were thrown out doors. The next morning Miss Blake was surprised to see her turkeys walk Ing about They were alive, It Is true, but such a spectacle. as they presented, with only thelr-tall nnd wing feathers, she bad never seen before. In order to protect them from the -cold she bought enough red flannel to make each of them a comfortable coat to re place the feathers. The turkeys were Boon stalking about wearing their red coats and were the wonder of all be holders. Baltimore Bun. Vlmut Trees by the Kaie.

Beheadments: R-owed. R-an. F-aint. Durability of Road. The durability of roads depends largely upon the power of the materials of which they are composed to resist thoso natural and artificial forces which nre constantly acting to destroy them. The fragments of which they nre constructed nre liable to be at tacked In cold climates by frost and In all climates by water and wind. If composed of stone or gravel, the par ticles are constantly grinding against each other and being exposed to the impact of the tires of vehicles and tho feet of animals. Atmospheric agencies nro also at w.ork decomposing and dis integrating the material. It is obvious ly necessary, therefore, that great enro be exercised In selecting for the sur facing of roads those stoues which are less liable to be destroyed or decom posed by these physical, dynamical and chemical forces. Restoring- nn Old Road. A California association Is making an effort for the restoration of El Canilno Real, the royal road, or me Kings niguway, which -was travel ed by the Franciscan missionary friars in the days, more than a century ago, before the "gringos" Invaded thn lnnil. This road was the most direct route practicable between the pueblos and the missions. It ran through vnrv many of what are now the counties of tne state, nnd the supervisors in these counties have been asked to aid the movement Many of them have con aented. Interest la Roads.
