to bo allowed to. A premium for one mile Of bes 'road moans competition, means ox 'poriment, moans development of new ideas. An idea at first may bo crude finally develop into something most useful and practical. Franklin drew lightning from cloud and proved electricity and lightning wore one at tho time. Others.caught tb idea and now lookat what olectricit; has done.

Bagby advanced the idea offering a premium for a milo of tho best road. Xo one knows whore tha idea may lead or what it may do velop. Unless it is clay or coal dump perfect material for making roads has not boon lonml. It must bo hard, but not too hard. It must bo durable.

It must be comparatively free from dust. It must not bo permeable, to water, except to a very limited extent. It must bo. elastic. It must not be subject to decay.

--It must not become soft during a rain. It must stand tbo freezing of. winter.with/its contraction and tho warmth of summer with-its expansion. groat many experiments have boon made without success. Tho ma of coal dumps haw been tried at Bovior, Macon county, Missouri and the reports from there are most favorable.

No doubt this will be tried, hero if Dr. Bagby's premium scheme is carried out. Clay roads jroperly dragged are enthusiastically spoken ot.by practical men who have tried These of course will como in competition if Dr. Babgy'e flchemo is adopted. This plan will result in tho build- ng of many miles of good roads and on various, plans.

It is not reasonable to suppoHo there will be "nly one competitor for qnch There vill bo-'manylcompetitors, for each nilo'of good road bnilt and each'mile good road iVthat much, and the best will bo. adopted-and carried 'There is a.widespread feeling in.rbe Jnitod States in favor of. good roads." -Now-York has issued bonds o'tho amount ot of lollars to- bo used for tho benefit of wagon roads. Most-of tho states in the Union arc moving in that direction. It is gratifying to that Randolph county is alive to her own interotu and there is a wide spread and intense interest" in this matter.

The Moroy Stock company which opened a week's engagement at the Grand last night with "In Dixie Land" scorns to havo put its best foot forward in decidedly creditable producton from every point of view, for tbo play was beautifully mounted and well acted. Miss Luella Moroy had an exacting role and it tested her merits as an emotional actress.of. Hcopo and power. Sho rose to- tlio requirements and impressed bernoU as an artist, for hor character of LouiHO Duroo was really strong supporting company made a good impression gouor- ully.
