WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.

A Conference to Be Held at the Atlanta Exposition. M AShington, Oct. 17. —The road parliament to be held in connection with the Atlanta exposition October 16, 17 and 18, 1895, is looked upon by the advocates of the good roads movement as perhaps more important than any meeting held to advance the interest in this cause. An official invitation has been sent to Gen. Roy Stone, in charge of the road inquiry bureau of the agricultural department, topreside. The programme of the parliament, as outlined in the invitation, will include discussions of the construction and maintenance of public highways, employment of engineering skill, utilization of convict labor, use of improved road machinery, and regulation of the width of wagon tires. Preparations are being made to place some practical demonstrations of the various road construction ideas about the public grounds there.
