ENJOYED A MOD TRADE LOCAL MERCHANTS HAPPY Saturday Was an Especially Good Day, Many Country Folks Being in the City Interurbans had The Busiest Day oj Fall. Richmond merchants are enjoying a brisk fail trade, despite the fact that -weather conditions have not been the best, that is there has been a dearth of real seasonable weather. Trade was never "more brisk at the opening of November ' than now, and scarcely a merchant can with justice complain of patronage. There wa3 a shining example of brisk business Saturday, the city being filled with country folk and they did not come for any other purpose than to buy. Stores reaped a harvest and the big business of the day reflected in a most emphatic manner the prosperity of the farming classes. The interarban lines had the busest day of the fall and from early morning to mid-afternoon shoppers were brought into Richmond. THE CITV IN BRIEF A Wanted, a competent cook, 26 N. 8th street.

PRESIDENT COMMENDS WORK OF CONG. WATSON The following is an extract from the letter written by President Roosevelt to Congressman James E. Watson on July 25, 1906: "It will be entirely satisfactory to me to address the letter to you, the man, who as Republican 'whip' of the House rendered such valuable and efficient service for all the measures advocated by the administration." ACCEPTED CHRIST IN MASS MEETING (Continued from Page One.) thought and, meditation by a very beautiful poem which Dr. Elliott quoted at the close of his remarks. It follows: Tell Him about the heartache; And tell Him the longings, too; And tell Him of baffled purpose, When you scarce knew what to do. Then leaving all your burdens, with one divinely strong, Forget that you bore a burden and carry away a song. Mr. Rykert closed the meeting with the solo, "I'll Meet My Mother There." Final Meeting Next Sunday. Next Sunday the last mass meeting dining the series of revival meetings will be held at the East Main Street Friends church, and it will be a mixed gathering. All the men and women of the city are earnestly requested to be present. Dr. Elliott will dwell on probably the most interesting subject that he has as yet spoken on. his subject being "The Christian Attitude' Toward Amusements." Mr. Rykert will sing two solos appropriate to the subject. The regular morning meetings which were hold last week with the exception cf Saturday, will be continued this morning at the Pythian Temple. Dr. Elliott will speak at the First Methodist church this evening on "Tho Unpardonable Sin; What is It? And Can People Commit It?" The Kaormomm Mud Tax. In the course of a speech Congressman John IT. Bankhead of Alabama declared that "the amount of money it tr. '-es to haul a ton five miles on our dirt roads will pay the freight for 2T0 miles on a railroad or 500 miles on a river and 1,000 miles on the lakes. These figures prove conclusively the Enormous tax levied by the bad roads on the farmers and how much of their legitimate rrofit is consumed in hauling from the farms to the railroad stations, river landing and to the towns and cities. Not only have the farmers suffered great loss on account of poor roads, but the peeple in the towns and cities who depend upon them for their r - Torturing eczema spreads its burning area every day.

. HAD SPLENDID SERVICE SIX ADDITIONS WERE MADE The Rev. R. W. Wade Preached Two Good Sermons Yesterday and the Work of the Choir was Especially Pleasing. The revival services at the First M. E. church yesterday were full of enthusiasm. Large congregations attended both services. The pastor, Rev. R. W. Wade preached in the morning on Christian Growth". There were three additions. In the evening he preached a strong sermon on "Showing Your Colors." Three came forward at the close of the sermon. The music at the First M. E. church under the direction of Prof. Harris is one of the most inspiring features. Prof. Harris has made friends of all who have become acpuainted with him and the church have the utmost confidence in the sincerity of his life as well as in his ability as a musician. At the close of the sermon last night Prof. Harris sang a solo which he had composed in the afternoon especially for the evening service. It's title was "Mother's Way", and it had a splendid effect on the audience. The quartet composed of Mrs. Elmer Gormon. Mrs. Edna Longnecker, Mr. Raymond Wehrley and Prof. Harris also gave a pleasing number. The quartet sing regluarly at every service. Doubtless the best number of the evening was the solo by Miss Caroline Karl. She has one of the most beautiful contralto voices in the city and those who know her ability predict for her a musical career. Both Monday and Tuesday night Dr. Elliott the evangelist and Mr. Rykert the singer will have charge of the services at First church. A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend these services. King; Dras Work on Roads. ' The influence of the D. Ward King road meeting March 31 at Erie, Kan., has already extended to every township in Neosho county, says the Thames City Times. Taxes for road purposes in ell the townships were made payable in cash this year, and the township boards are appropriating the funds for the building and operation of split log drags. Fifteen drags are now at work In Erie township under the direction of tho trustee, and, in addition to this number, many farmers have built drags for private U3e. The street commissioner of the city has been using several split log drags on the unpaved streets of the town, and these streets are now quite as smooth and hard as those that were paved. Farmers are enthusiast! over the results obtained on the country roads, and plans are being made for dragging every mile of dirt road in the county this spring. Philippine Ko&ds. Reports from the Philippines inform us that the conversion of impassable trails into good highways is proceeding rapidly, and the work Is being done by native convicts in charge of white officers, says Motor News. The lack of ordinarily decent roads has been one of the most serious drawbacks to development of our island possessions in that it was Impossible to transport products from the Interior at anywhere near a figure which left a fair profit to those who handled the stuff at the coast. Present information leads us to believe that the farsighted policy now being followed Is to be continued, witl the result, perhaps, that the Philippinewill possess a network of splendit highways long before such results an reached in the United States.

CONFERENCE TO BE HELD III FEW DAYS

City and Representatives of Traction Companies to Have a Meeting. ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION CITY DOES NOT WANT TO OUST THE COMPANIES BUT ONLY WANTS THEM TO LIVE UP TO THE LAWS. The city and the representatives of the traction companies which enter Richmond probably will confer again within the next week or ten days relative to the rights of the traction lines on Richmond's streets. When the first conference adjourned it was with the understanding that the traction representatives were to provide the high officials of the companies with all information pertaining to the local situation, and then an effort would be made, it was expected, to adjust the differences between the city and the companies. Since the conference was held the companies have had their track mileage within the corporation limits of the city carefully measured and the proceedings by which both gained access to the county have been carefully looked into. The Dayton & Western's right on the streets is considerably less, it is said, than that of the Indianapolis and Eastern. The erroneous impression has gone out that the city is trying to oust the companies from Richmond. Quite the contrary is true, the city, officers say, but in the absence of a franchise governing either company's - right within the city proper, the city government has the unquestionable right to compel the companies to conform with the lavs and procure a franchise to operate. When this is done as it must be shortly, the city officials say, there will be an effort made by council to restrict the liberties heretofore given traction companies. Under present conditions a Dayton & Western traction car might exceed the speed limit fixed for city cars, yet a prosecution would be handicapped because of the fact that the company cannot well violate the terms of a franchise which it does not have. G"OOD ROADS IN FRANCE." Dow They Are Constructed and Main. ' tallied. Consul Brunot of St. Etienne writes of the excellent roads in France and the government method of maintaining them. He says: 'France had wretched roads in former times, and this notwithstanding the good example left by the. Roman ocfupation. Indeed, highroad accidents were a favorite stock in trade of the old romancers. Now the roads are not only nearly perfect and good at all seasons, but are beautified by artistic stone bridges and frequently lined with fruit and shade trees. Spasmodic efforts were made to better the roads, mostly around Paris, under Louis XIV. (1G4G-1715), but it was not until about 1775 that the serious work of building great roads of national extent was undertaken, and Napoleon I. carried it forward vigorously as a part of his military schemes, uniting frontier points with the capital. Never has the work ceased, except during periods of war, and the more difficult sections, at first left to a more convenient season, are steadily being built, while new cutoffs and connecting links are continually being declared open for service. The roads are divided into six classes, as follows: "First. - National roads, built and maintained by the government, 21,300 miles. "Second. Departmental (state) roads, built and maintained by the political divisions traversed by them, 15,700 miles. "Third. Principal local roads, traversing two or more townships (communes), are maintained by them with government aid, 124,000 miles. "Fourth. Secondary local roads, the same as the preceding, except that they are of less importance and are maintained by the townships under supervision by the government, 150,000 miles. "Fifth. Minor local roads, still less important than the foregoing and maintained by the townships under the supervision of government engineers. "Sixth. Rural roads, lanes of small importance entirely maintained by the townships without any Intervention or supervision by the government, "The rules for grades are national roads, 3 per cent; departmental roa'ds, 4 per cent; principal and ' secondary local roads, 5 per 'cent, which is the maximum allowed, except in extremely mountainous regions or on the . most difficult sections of the less Important roads, where there is too little traffic to warrant the-expense of reducing the grade to within the role. The method of construction formerly was to grade the bed level and lay a stone dressing of a depth of 17 Inches in the middle, diminishing to 14 inches at the sides, but experience proved that a better plan was to give the earth bed the same rounded form intended ft-T the surface, and the thickness of the stone layer was reduced to 11 Va inches. This is the method now generally followed, and about SJC0 mile' of the most recent censtraftion have been built on this plan, thothers being macadam roads. buflWrmaterial found on the spot, and6tae minor roads of rvel a
