Building Bridges at Jelks.
Our County Judge A. L. Hut
chins was over from Augusta
Monday and visited the convict
camp near Fakes. He has the
convicts there in charge of Mr.
J. Smith, of Augusta, who is
building the new bridges for the
highway across Cache River be
tween Jelks and Fakes.
Although the people have not
yet built the levee as high as it
should be, our Judge is meeting
us half-way by going ahead and
having the bridges built which
we are sure meets the hearty
approval of all.

TESTING PAINTS AND DYES.
Increased use is being made of the
flaming arc for paint and dye test- i
ing, according to a paper read re- j
cently before the American Electro
Chemical Industry. The suggestion
was made by the author that with a
consumption of 25 amperes the lamp
be used at two feet away from the
samples being tested. The author
declared that after having made sev
eral hundred tests between sunlight
and the white, flaming arc lamp, he
had found the latter far superior.
The flaming arc lamp was also found
more satisfactory than the nitrogen
filled lamp and other illuminants.
Not only does the flaming arc give i
more uniform conditions of test, butI
it is more rapid, and tests can be
made in ten hours which require two
weeks by sunlight.
DRIVEN TO SLANG.
Mary Wilkins Freeman is prob
ably one of the writers one would
least expect to find using slang; yet,!
in a letter written a short time ago
to Harper’s Magazine, she uses lan
guage that would delight George
Ade. Her explanation of this lapse
from ther customary style was that
after spending some time with a cer
tain acquaintance of hers—a very su
perior woman, who never used any
thing but the choicest expressions—
she “had been prone to slang as the
sparks fly upward.”
WHAT'S HE AFRAID OF?
“Although Chugson has had a car
for almost six months, he still seems
to think a pedestrian has some
rights.”
“How do you account for that at
titude ?”
4Tt’s very peculiar. It certainly
shows a woeful lack of self-confi
dence.”
COULD HARDLY BE THE -ATTER.
“How are you today?”
“My doctor was so cheerful that I
can’t tell.”
“How’s that?”
“I cannot tell if he is cheerful at
the thought. of an operation, or
cheerful in the belief that I won’t
need one.”
FITTING THEME.
“What’s on the carpet at the club
tonight ?”
“Something that is going to floor
rou.”
