The government will yPightly trips with its own A ROYAL BAJTLE ON. Railroad Men Expec tins a Bit ter Oho In the South. Railroad men unite in predicting that there will soon be initiated in the South the most bitter railroad fight this country has ever known. On one side will be the now gigantic Seaboard Air-Line system, composed of the Seaboard the Florida Central and Peninsular, and Georgia and Alabama. Arrayed against it will be the Soath em, the Atlantic-Coast Line, the P.att Systemv and the Loaisville and Nash ville. Powerful as is the Seaboard it is impossible to imagine a much stron ger combination than the one which it will have to fight. The Florida Central and Penlneular bandied all the Southerns business from Columbia, S. C, to Florida prior to the purchase of the former by the Seaboard Air-Line. The Southern's traffic arrangement with the Florida Central and Peninsular from Co um bia ceases on the 1st of January, 1900. The Southern has now gotten, or will have acquired by the 10th of Decem ber, a line to Florida over the Plant line. Trains are now running over a new link thirty-two miles in length be tween Columbia and Perry. At Co lumbia the Southern's celebrated Flor ida Special will go on the tracks of the Carolina Midland, which has been bought and, to all inteht9 and pur poses, rebuilt by the Southern. Thence the Southern train3 will run forty-f-ii miles to Allendale, thence over the Charleston and Western Carolina, which is operated by the Atlanti -Coast Line. At Yemassee, thirty-five miles from Allendale, and fifty-three miles from Savannah the Plant line is reached, and kept to Florida points. The Plant line is also receiving heavy business from the Louisville and Nashville. Before the Georgia and Alabama became united with the Seaboard and Florida Central," and Peninsular, under Mr. John Skelton Williams, it received the Southern business of the Louisville and Nash ville. - The part, which .the Atlantic-Coast Line is to take in the great battle is not now clearly apparent, but it is ready to line up against the Seaboard combination. President Harry Walters has within the past few days been at several far southern points, and every where there has arisen the rumor that he is looking out for a port to be taken by the Atlantic-Coast Line. It is no exaggeration vto say the rail road and business -world have their eyes on the South, where will soon be pulled off this royal battle. There is enough business in the. South for all the lines to have a fair share. . The stockholders of several will probably suffer by the great fight about to be gin, but the man who rides and who ships his goods will . benefit. Rich mond Dispatch. - DESTROYERS OF THE MAINE They Used Explosives Which May Lead to Their Discovery, ... . - New York, Nov. 25. The World to morrow will publish a letter from Ha vana, stating that the United Btates officials, after months of secret investi gation, have discovered that the bat tleship Maine was blown up by gun cotton torpedoes, planted in the bay for the purpose. The guncotton, 700 pounds of which was used, was sent from Barcelona to Admiral Manterola, commanding the port of Havana, and was either stolen : from the magazine where the stuff was stored or taken away by the officials in charge. Ad miral Manterola's records will un doubtedly show the names of his subor dinates who had direct control of the explosives, and in that way the iden tity of the authors and executors of the plot to destroy the Maine may be dis covered. Two or three men were engaged in the destruction of the ship. A steam launch, of Spanish make, and now used hy the United States government in Havana harbor, conveyed the two tor pedoes, according to the new evidence, to a point within a few feet of the berth of the Maine, and anchored them. ' The torpedoes were kept in position by means of buoys floated 11 feet under water and 10 feet above the anchors, to prevent them from being swept away. The torpedoes were ex ploded by contact with the keel of the Maine, as she swung at anchor. CONTENTED AND HAPPY. The Conditions at Santiago Im proving. New York, November 28 General Wood arrived this , morning on the transport McPherson from Santiago. He said he had received orders to re port for further orders to the Adjutant General at Washington. The condition at Santiago is im proving daily. The people are coc tented and employed. Theie is no destitution. Only a thousand rations were issued immediately after the great hurricane. DEATH FROM DOG BITE. A Number of Others Suffering With Hydrophobia. West Chester, Pa., Nov. 28 Joseph Gibbs died early this morning at the Chester County Home of hydrophobia, after terrible suffering for two dayr. He was bitten by a dog nearly two months ago. His wife is suffering with the same disease at her home. A number of others were bitten at the same time Glbbs was and there is a veritable panic among them. Dr. O. P. Gardner, one of the oldest physicians in the state, died at his home in Shelby Sunday. COST OF GOOD EOADS". DEPENDS UPON LOCALITY AND METH OD OF CONSTRUCTION. j Improved Machinery Has Done Much to Lessen the Ezpeme of Road Bulldina; Well Dalit Stone Roads the Cheapest. ' i The improvement of country roads is chiefly an'economical question, relating principally to the waste of effort in hauling over bad roads, the saving in money, time and energy in hauling over good ones, the initial cost of im proving roads and the difference in the cost of maintaining good and bad ones. It is not necessary to enlarge on this subject in order to convince the average reader that good roads reduce the re sistance to traffic and consequently i the cost of transportation of, products and goods to and from farms and markets is reduced to a minimum, says MJ O. Eldredge of the office of road inquiry, j The initial cost of a road depends upon the cost of materials, labor, ma chinery, the width nnd depth to which the material is to be spread on and the method of construction. All these things vary so much in the different states that it is impossible to name the exact amount for which a mile of a certain kind of road can be built. ! -j The introduction in recent years of improvedTroad building machinery has enabled the authorities in some of the states to build improved stone and gravel roads quite cheaply. First class single track stone roads, 9 feet wide, have been built near Canandaigua, N. Y., for $900 to $1,000 per mile. Many excellent gravel roads have been built in New Jersey for $1,000 to $1,300 per mile. The material of which they were constructed was placed on in two lay ers, each being raked and v thoroughly rolled, and the whole mass consolidated to a thickness of 8 inches. In the same state macadam roads have been built for $2,000 to $5,000 per mile, varying in width from-9 to 20 feet and in thick ness of material from 4 to 12 inches. Telford roads 14 feet wide and 10 to 12 inches thick have been built in New Jersey for $4,000 to $6,000 per mile. Macadam roads have been . built r at Bridgeport and Fairfield, Conn., 18 to 20 feet wide for $3,000 to $5,000 per mile. A telford road 16 feet wide and 12 inches thick was built at Fan wood, N. J., for $9,500 per mile. Macadam roads have been built in Rhode Island, 16 to 20 feet wide, for $4,000 to $5,000 per mile. ; j Massachusetts roads are costing j ail the way from $6,000 "to $25, 000. per mile. A mile of broken stone road 15 feet wide costs in the state of Massa chusetts about $5,700 per mile, while a mile of the same width and kind of road costs in the state of New Jersey only $4,700. This is due partly to the fact that the topography of Massachusetts is somewhat rougher than that of New Jersey, "necessitating the reduction j xf many steep grades and the building of expensive retaining walls and bridges and partly to the difference in methods of construction and the difference in prices of materials, labor, etc. - ; Doubtless the state of New Jersey is building more roads and better roads for less money per mile than any other state in the Union. The roads are now costing from 20 to 70 cents per square yard.. Where the telford, construction is used they sometimes cost as much as 73 cents per square yard. The average cost of all classes of the roads of that state during the last season was about 50 cents per square yard. The stone was, as a rule, spread on to a depth of 9 inches, which, after rolling, gave a depth of about 8 inches. - At this rate a single track road 8 feet wide costs about $2,346 per mile, while a double track road 14 feet wide costs about $4,106 per mile, and one 18 feet wide costs about $5,280 per mile. Where the ma-j terial is spread on so as to consolidate to a 4 inch layer the 8 foot road will cost about $1,173 per mile, the 14 foot road about $2,053 per mile, while the one 18 feet wide will cost about $2, 640 per mile. The total cost of maintaining roads in good order ranges, on account of varying conditions, between as wide limits almost as the initial cost of con struction. Suffice it to say that all money spent on repairing earth roads becomes each year a total loss without -materially improving their condition. They are, as a rule, the most expensive roads that can be used, while, on the other hand, stone roads, if properly constructed of good material and kept in perfect condition, are the most satis factory, -the cheapest and most' econom ical roads jthnt can be constructed. ; I The road that will best suit 'the needs of the farmer in the first place must not be too costly and in the 'second place must be of the very best kind, for farmers should be able to do their heavy hauling over them when their fields are too wet to work and their teams would otherwise be idle. flFhe best road for the farmer, all things being considered, is a solid, well built stone road, so narrow as to be only a single track, but having a firm earth road on one or both sides. Wbere the traffic is not very extensive the purposes of good roads are better served by nar- row tracks than by wide ones, while many of the objectionable features of wide tracks are removed, the initial cost of construction is cut down orie- half or more and the charges for repair; reduced in pr6portion. j Good Road Notes. Horses like to be well stalled, but not in a muddy highway. j j Oh, but those motor carriage folks will be "hollerm" f6rgood roads pretty 60cn! ... Now is about the time of year when mudholes are converted into job lots of dust. Any in front of your house? The horse wanted good roads ; the bi cycle has tried to get good roads; the automobile must have good roads. Fraud Charged. Washington, Nov. 27. Former Senator Call, of- Florida, has pre pared a statement for presentation to the senate committee oa privi leges and elections, asking that the manner of the election of Senator elect Taliaferro, of Florida, be in vestigated. He charges that undue means were used to secure Mr. Taliaferro's election, and asks that he be not seated. He asserts that the election was due to the unfair influence of the Standard Oil Com pany, which, he says, used money to accomplish its purposed Mr. Call also asks the industrial com mission to investigate the charges as indicating the methods of trusts in politics. If we mistake not, Senator-elect Taliaferro is a native of North Carolina. Patriot Scrap Iron Wanted. We will buy all your old castings, wrought iron, plow steel, brass and copper.

R Word to Doctors s We have the highest regard for the medical profession. Our preparations are not sold for the purpose of antagon izing them, but rather as an aid. We lay it down as an established truth that internal remedies are positively injuri ous to expectant mothers. The distress and discomforts experienced during the months preceding childbirth can be al leviated only by external treatment by applying a liniment that softens and re laxes the over-strained muscles. We make and sell such a liniment, com bining the ingredients "in a mannex hitherto unknown, and call it othefs Friend We know that in thousands of cases it has proved more than a blessing to expectant mothers. It overcomes morn ing sickness. It relieves the sense of tightness; Headaches cease, and dan ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising Breasts is avoided. . Labor itself is shortened and shorn, of most of the pain. We know that many doctors recom mend it, and we know that multitudes of women go to the. drug stores and buy it because they are sure their physicians have no objections. We askf a trial just a fair test. There is no possible chance of injury being the result, be cause Mother's Priend is scientific ally compounded. It is sold at$i a bot tle, and should be used during most of the period of gestation, although great relief is experienced if used only a short time before childbirth. -Send for our il lustrated book about Mother's Friend.
