The Remarkable Value of a SandClay
Road
(Joseph H.vde i'ratt, State 'irologisl ?>i
North Carolina, in "Southern <5oo?l
Itouds.'*)
The roads of the eastern counties
of the southern Aopalaehiun
siates are deep sand aud dis
tressmg in summer; in the middle
and western sections of these
states they have an excess of
clay and often become impassable
in winter. We are confronted,
therefore, by the two extrftnes,
deep sand and deep mud, and the
name of either signilles death to
acricultural development, to so
cial and intellectual iife; loeducation
and religion. While naturally
such a condition exists
things are pretty eveuly balanced
after all. In nearly all sections
where sand predominates
deposits of clay can be found,
and if this be hauled upon the
deep sand and thoroughly mixed
with it you have a saud-clay road
which cannot make deep sand in
summer; sufficiently mixed with
the clay, so as to overcome the
tendancy to make mud in wet

winter and summer. From a
close study and observation ofi
this phase of road improve?ent,!
combined with some experience,'
I am prepared to make the as-!
sertion, in full confidence, that
there is no section in the eastern
part of the southern Appalachian
states where really good, practical
country roads may not be
built by this process, if only per-;
severance be the watch-word.
Many fail for want of patient,
persistent effort, and fail when

Reflect a moment and you will
see that a sand-clay road is not :
in its perfected state until each!
grain of sand is di iven and wedg-j
ed tightly between other grains j
of sand, and they in turn between
others, ai:d soon through

Bear in mind clean, sharp sand

Always get sand if possible from

J. A. Williams of Patrick VN ins
Organ
The nice Farrand organ which
was sold at auction by the Tillman-Davidson
Company, was
bought by Mr. J. A. Williams of
Patrick.
Mr. Williams'bid was for $4125.
The organ is not over valued
of $85.25. Ho is to be congratulated
on getting an organ of such
fine qualities at less than one half
of the purchase price.
This celebrated musical instrument
is sold exclusively in this
territory by the Tilhnan-David

stands back of every trade made
by them.

But in the middle and Piedmont
sections of these southern
Appalachian states we are not
contined to sand-clay exclusively.
This section is rich in gravel,
which may be had f?<r the hauling.
We may often combine these
three types of road, dirt, gravel
and sand clay in one system of
good ro ds and have stretches of
all three; but do not have mixtures
of ail three; that is, do not
have part of the width of the road

Gov. Glenn to Speak in Cheraw
Tuesday Evening-, April 5th.
Gov. R. B. Glenn, of North
Carolina, will speak in the Presbyterian
church next Tuesday
evening, April the 5th, at 8
o'clock on The Laymen's Home
Missionary Movement. Gov.
Glenn has a national reputation
as an orator. He is much in demand
for chatauquas and conventions
and lyceum bureaus retain
him for the greater portion of his
time. But he insists en giving
part of his time to developing a
deeper interest in this work in
which he is himself so deeply interested.
It is gratifying and refreshing
to soc a man of Gov. Glenn's ability
and reputation refusing re
j munerative oilers and giving his
j time to a work of this kind. j
The public is cordially invited j
to attend this meetiug next Tues- ^
day evening.
Sheriff Martin of Charleston c
went to James Island yesterday i
just in time to prevent a race t
riot, the ou'come of the arrest
of five negroes and two white
men Saturday. It is said that (
the negroes were ringing church i
bells and calling the lawless ele- 1
inent together. 1
