BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLET^^^JSNESRAY, JANUARY 29,7902. ESTAB^^i1^--!;^^ A TRIP TO CHARLESTON. One .who has Just Been to Charleston and the Exposition Giveit a Brief Account ol' HIn Trip ?The (irond?ur of the Sea?The Beamy oi the ludlan Show. What some of tbe people have already done, and rnauy inure should and will do before the first oi June, the wriier did lust week. Thai 1?, he took a trip to (Juarletsion for me purpose ox seelug itie city lu general and the Mouth Carolina loter-atate and West Iudlau ijAi/uoi I>1V/U i u yai mvuiutt He leitThursday morning on the 10 i* Southern train. Tbe only other passengers tu Hodges besides biinseli were Hon. W. H. Parker, representative from ibis county, who was on bis way to Columbia to attend tbe ses. sloos ol tbe Legislature, accompanied by bis daughter and Miss Belle Jarrard, tbe latter going on to Savannah to spend tbe winter there for her beaitb. Alter boarding tbe l^ala at Hodges nothing of particular interest was seen till at Newberry It w?s noticed tbaJ another lactory whs being built. This town already baa one of tbe largest cotton , mills lu tbe mate. , At Columbia we rolled into tbe new Union station. Trains bave only been running Into tbis station a lew days and It will be a momb yet belore it is completed, but wnen it is dnisbed it will be the flnest depot in tbe State. It is situated right back oi the Capitol; is built of cream-colored brick witn brown trimmings; is tasty aud couveuleut la all lis appointments, and is certainly a grand improvement over ilie Old shucK itiat huh lor bo iong done duty an a union station. Here at Columbia ttie writer, by previous arrangement, met a young iauy irlend from Detroit, Mlonigan, who was on tier way to the Exposition, aud It is needless to say mat ttie rest of the trip was made ten times more dellgtutul by the pleasure of her couipauy. Tbe arrival at Charleston wa* made at 1.30 p. m., and comfortable lodgings secured at a - Meeting Street Hotel. Ttie uext morniog a stroll was taken around ttie Btreets of Charleston, aud ibe most notable buiidlnga botu public and private weie visited, as w?ts also the Battery. It is certainly a great pleasure to wander around ibe beautllul wen paved streets ol quaint, Historic old Charleston, aud view ibe ancient architecture of Its buildings and tbe beauty of its parfcs, squares and cemeteries, especially to one who has beeu thoroughly satiated with the moderu, up-todate architecture ol our Northern and \Ve>tern cities. About midday a Meeting Street car was boarded and a ride taken out to the Exposl lion grounds. Tbe Charleston Exposition is a tine show, it is as good, if not better than tbe Atlanta Epositlou of 'Do, or tbe Nashville Exposition ol *?7, or the Omaha Exposition of '#8. Tbe writer cau make tuls uiuiement witb truth, lor he visaed all tbe above-named expositions. Tne only trouble wltn tbe Charleston show is that all ol the bulldluitt> I are out yet quite hnisned, uorare all the ex ntolisyet la place. Bui all tblu will be overcome by tbe middle oi February at the latest, auu then there will be not a laull to tlud wiiti the South Carolina later-State and West Indian Exposition, aud tbe writer would advise every cue wbo oao, especially those wbu have never been to an Exposition, to go 10 Charleston and see It. A three days trip can be made at a total expense of not more thaii nine or ten dollars. Tbe electrical display at night wben all tbe buildings are lighted up with thousands of luoanuesoent lights itsomething beautifully grand to behold. On Saturday morulng a trip was taken to Ml. Pieasam, Sulilvans Island and the Isle ol Paims. Tula Is a delightful Utile J*uui 01 about four milts on tbe steamer and au eiec trio oar ride of ten miles tnruugb the pretty little town of Mt. Pleasant, the entire length of historical Sulilvans Island aud on to tue beaulllul Isle of Palms, where a most maguioentvlewol the grand old ocean can be bad and pleasant lime spent strolling about the beach and picking up sheila. Saturday alternoon the writer was left with a sad heart by the departure ol bis young lady friend to Savannah, Georgia, on her way to Florida, where she will spend the winter, baHfclmt In the genial sunlight of Its delight Jul climate. On Sunday morning Ibe writer attended services hi the Citadel Square bapUstChurch. Tout afternoon be paid a pleasau t little vlbll to bis friend Wllllaui Hemphill, who Is out; of the students ai the Citadel from Abbeville. He also bad the pleasure of seeing another 01 his young iriends who used to live la Abbeville, Aculile Sassard. Bo.h ol these young gentlemen looked well and hoppy and deslreu lobe remembered to tell of their numeious , Abbeville friends That afternoon the writer attended a lecture In the Y. M. C. A. hall delivered by Dr. H. L. Smith, president ol Davidson College. That night he attended services at Ibe Trinity Methodist Church and listened to an excellent sermon from Dr. J. W.

Eldrldge, his assistant, with Mr. W. H. Moore, president of the National Good Roads association, are In charge of the "Good Roads Special." Under their direction fourteen road experts, Mr. R. W. Richardson, secretary of the national association, and several clerks will undertake to organize in each of the cities visited a permanent good roads association. To this end they will confer with the mayor and city council of each city and the officers of ; n 1 /\w/?n n<rrn+l And onranTO JIB L'UUi^liCLUai uigaxiiAauviiQ, uixuu^v LOAD IN WEONO PLACE. that a suitable ball shall be hired and obtain the use of ten or twelve teams, as many men and a sufficient supply of crushed stone to construct a length of good road as a sample. ; When the train arrives, the engineers j ?*1' ?* ^ny*A +a hnlM oh/tnt n .WIUL UCgm at UUCC tV kSUAAU. uftswuw ? , mile of dirt road with the teams, men and materials furnished by the locality. They will then surface or macadamize as much of that road as their j time will permit When the practica- < bility of the movement has been thus , manifested, the mayor and commercial ( organizations will unite In a call for a { public meeting to organize an association. President Moore of the National 1 Good Roads association says of the project: 1 "The south can have good roads if it ( will, and the sooner the citizens get to- t gether and work along some well or- t ganized and practical line these results ] will be reached the quicker. There Is nothing that , will do more to Increase the value of virgin lands and advance rievpinnm^nt of the rural districts a than well constructed public roads. The Improvement of the road system . will have a wonderful effect upon stimulating the settlement of people on farms, and as these settlements are being made so will the value of the land increase. "Wherever a city or town is found possessing well made roadways leading therefrom you will find the business of that point .is in a prosperous I condition. Therefore the citizens of J every town in the south will be promoting their own interests if they give this movement their moral and if necessary financial support "It is hoped that every state, county, 4 city and town officer will give this subject of better roads serious consideration and then take the matter in hand 1 immediately and show his constituents r< that the movement for better roads 0 will receive his utmost consideration t: and utmost co-operation. "It is universally decided that good roads are what we want In order to secure them we must pull together, * working systematically and on practical lines. This grand tour, planned by [] the Southern Railway company, is a signal for action. If the states visit- J ed are nof alive to this and do not avail themselves of the opportunity to secure information rendered by the good roads J special train, no one will be at fault except the citizens of the states in which the exhibits are made." Grade* of Roada. The grade is the most important factor to be considered in the location of roads. The smoother the road surface the less the grade should be. Whether the road be constructed of earth, stone or gravel, steep grades should always be avoided if possible. They become covered at times with coatings of ice or slippery soil, making them very difficult to asct-nd with loaded vehicles, as well as dangerous to descend. They allow water to rush down at such a rate as to wash great gaps alongside or to carry the surfacing material away. As the grade Increases in steepness either the load has to be dimin- j ished in, proportion or more horses o* | power attached. < I DaPre's LocrIm.
