{ Valuable Hi'tiriiil Suggestions For
Everyone Interested in Good
Roads.
! (Front Hie Manufacturers Record.)
I A most practical publication is
I Bulletin >:o. lot; of the United States
department of agriculture, contribut
I cd by tin oilice of public roudi, being
I a compilation by Lawrence I. Hewes
I and James W. Glover ol data and an
analysis -of economic features affect
I lag construction and maintenance of
I highways financed by bond issues,
together with the development of the
j theory of highway bond calculations. '
: !u introduction the statement is made
that the practice of issuing bonds
I l'or highways and bridge construction
by counties am) their 'subdivisions lias
become nulle i roniincnt, and this
btntamoui is reinforced by the follow
ing:
"In 1-0:; counties or 41.1 per cent
all the counties in this country,
there were outstanding highway bouda
on January I, lull. The total amount
of such bonds voted, as ascertained
by the oilice of public roads up to that
date, was $286,556,073, of which
township bonds alone amounted to
?57,15 :,718. ..The amount of?outstand
hig local highway bonds on January
I, 1913, was approximately $202.007,
rtj. Tuis amount was increased dur
ing the year 1913 by current Issues
noted below, but ?was also slightly
decreased by maturing payinentB.
"The county highway bond is es
sentially a municipal bond; that Ms, a
bond issued by a public corporation.
Statistics indicate that all municipal
bonds are regarded ai excellent in
vestments, and are frequently used by
banks as a second reserve. The
amount of hlflhway bonds issued is in
dicated by comparison with the $79,
741,688 pf irrigation and drainage
bonds authorized in the interval from
1907 to 1912, inclusive.
"The progress of the local highway
bond movement Is further indicated by
tho diagram of first issues for the
interval 1900-1913. Dates of first is
sues were reported, however, for only
579 counties. First isauea for 1912 and
19131 are practically complete.
"During the past three ^ycara coun
ty, district and township highway
and bridge bonds were voted as fol
lows: 1911, 129,200,022; 1912, $32,
022,703; 1913. $50,445,766?making a
total of $111,668,181.
"There havfe also been voted State
highway bonds ,which total $158,590,
000. The grand total of ! all'highway
bonds voted and reported to the of
fice of public roads to January 1,
19! 4. Is, therefore, $445,147,073.;',
The .. bulletin presents diagrams,
half-?oao illustrations and,statistics in\
illustration .of its - text dealing with
the economic valuf. of the market
road, th? cost bf highway construction,
and .maintenance,?tbe methods or is
suing bonds -and ,-the - total cost of
highways. It' dwells upon legal re
strictions, on bond issues and ihe heed :
for highway engineer, and, discussing
the advantage of bond issues, says: ,
"The Issuance of highway binds Is
essentially a method of 'capitalizing
tho resources of a community for tue
purpose ~o fcreating improved high
ways. Tho fundamental advantage of
the bond plan Is tho construction of
a good system of roads at once,' but
there are secondary- advantages .in
bull?ing roads in long stretches" and
In: the planning of the maintenance,
of such roads. . ; '\
k: -The question Is hot morcly wneth

bonds wore issued hs a method ?t cap

Planned the entire county will feel the
benefits 'of the improvement. As a
rule, main market roads reach the ma
jority of producing areas, and when
they are improved, all ' land values
tend-to increase. ^ * *
"The fact that cities and larger
towas are frequently taxed for bond
issues to build. highways outside of
their own limit.* is sometimes made
a point of debute in bond elections.
It is argued that because a lurge part
of the county wealth is -within the
corporate limit of such cities1 und
towns, highway bon? money should al
so, he used to construct their streets.
It is even urged that the expenditure
-i.ould be made proportionate to the
assessed valuation within the city
Iimit3. If the proceeds of highway
bond issues were distributed In thlv.
way their purpose in many cases
would be defeated. The primary ob
ject of the county highway bond Issue
is to build county market roads, and
not to Improve*pity streets, although
a high percentage 01 tite assessed
valuation may. be city property. It is
now known that the expenditure of
city, taxes on country roads is a
sound principle, and that it is one of
the he.-t features of State old for
highways. In Massachusetts the city
of Huston paya possibly 10 per cent
of the total State highway fund, but
not a mile of State-aid highway has
been built within its limits. Xew
Vork city also pays about ?0 per cent,
of the can of the Slate highway
bends. Sqme State laws prohibit the;
expenditure of proceeds . of State
highway bonds within corporate limits
of cities or towns. The-improvcmeat
of market roads results in improved
marketing- conditions.' which benefit
the city. Most citlci are essentially <
dependent upon the surrounding
country for their prosperity and de
velopment. The development of -sub*
urban property for residence purposes
is also dependent upon highway con
ditions, and it is becoming evident
yearly that whatever makes for an
Increase in rural population.must be
encouraged. Since the introduction of
motor traffic, country highways have
been used to anlncreaslng extent ; by
city residents. In fact, the cost of
maintaining many country highways
has -been greatly increased by the
presence of ciry-owncd mctor vehicles.
The general advance of facilities for
doing country business from town
headquarters when roads arc improv
sd is no inconsiderable factor in the
commercial life of a community."

Are Mnuy Humors.
Earl Burton Is the negro concern
ing, whom reports were current in
Anderson Thursday night t? the ef
fect' that he had been shot and beat
en, and brought to the Andersoh^
County Hospital for treatment. The
negro was not beaten, and he waS\uot
brought to the hospital. A Mr. Speer
of LowndesvlUe wbb rushed to tho
hospital bore Thursday night for an
operation und persons confused this
fact witli the shooting of Earl Burton,
spreading the report that the negro
hud been brought to the hospital for
treatment.
Reports were also current In An
derson Thursday night that a secohd.
negro had been shot at LowndesvlUe.
This report was also erroneous inso,
far us tho.statement tliat the shoot
ing occurred at LowndesvlUe. Tho i
facts are that a negro was shot in '
the leg on the plantation of a white
map living between Iva and Starr.
This was the result of a personal
difllculty between the negro and the
white man who is said to have shot
hlra, and hn'b no connection whatever
with the LowndesvlUe affair.
No Whites Arrested.
? Reports wcro rife ou the streets
j yesterday that there had been other .
j arrests, including ' white people, In ,
connection with the murder of Mrs.'
Scott. As a matter, of fact but one or; j
tost has been1 made since Charlie
Logan and Hen J-.mssey were placed
under arrest the day of Mrs. Scott's
murder, and this person is Will John
son, who was arrested .yesterday and
carried to Abbeville jail by Magistrate
J. G. Huckabee and assistants." Will
Johnson is the negro who spe.nt the
night with Charlie Logan the night
Mrs. Scott was murdered.
In conversation over long dlstanco
telephone late yesterday afternoon
Magistrate Huckabee told The Intel
ligencer that no white people had
been arrested in connection with the
affair, and no other arrests had been
made with the exception of that of
Will Johnson.
Ugly Rumors Abroad. .
As is usual in all cases of this kind,
various ugly rumors are afloat. In
-fact, one can hear almost anything he
wants to hear about the murder.
Stories aro going ta? rounds that
white pepple are mixed up in the kil
ling of Mrs. Scott, and that tho negro,
or negroes, who did her to death were
paid to do so by. negroes. One report
went so far as to say that one of the
negroes had confessed that white peo
ple had paid him $50 to put Mrs.
Scott out of tho way.
. So far as -evidence bearing out these
repbrts is concerned, the reporta are
as empty as the. idle wind. There are
number of people in close touch with
the case, who believe that the death
of Mrs. Scott was the result of a con
spiracy, and there are some who be
lieve that all the tacts in connection
with, her death have not yet been urn
covered; But so far as there being any
evidence in hand so fur to bear out
these'rumors, there <a nothing to it.
Theories p?,^?ieeUn^.
Of course, every one has his theory
of the shooting of Earl Burton. Some
hav? advanced 'the theory that Bur
ton-: was shot by -Bbme -person who.
was afraid that the negro might talk
ana tell something about tho murder
of Mrs. Scott that would implicate
him, Vp.0 person Hiring the .shot.' Tborc
are scores of other theories advanced
concerning the mysterious affair, but
theories are . not solang the puzsie
.an? a great "many, of them are ..so
rediculous as to bo almost dis.gustlng.

The fannors of our. country have
had so much advice given, offered
and poked at them'they arc sick; and
tired. In most eases it comes from
people who know absolutely ' noth
ing about the practical sldo of the
business. That Ib why it is heeded so
little. Our, country is, and has been,
confronted with the most scriou3 con
dition ever witnessed, by the.<nost of

States is wrong. Look'at'1 the price of

every' instance. And the one j thing
that is such ?''stinging rebuke1 to us
all. ?is the fact, that all; the things
mentioned above, and many others.
