The public highways lo this county an composed largely of clay roads, . wbicl. make the best roads daring the , summer months. During the winter moBihs, which constitute our rainy Mason, at which Uoia tne roaos are id eoastant use by the Carmen In hauling * produce to and from the towns, the | ruftda are literary torn to pieces, and Bade bub deep in mud, ana are practically In an Impassable oondition. Tbe i . www of mooey available in thi? ' on for bebavin&lv sufflcient for sueb road 1 way? be done with He came slowljr neai* I ? .. > , E -?= tets - yfynn ago. They were run straight as ne crow flies. The plan seems to have been In thoee days to get there In the sborteet possible distance; but ( we hace found by aad experience that to ?o tether on an easy grade around the hills, rather than to climb the > sleep Inclines, is the better plan. Durlag my term of office, tbe past two years, a great portion of my time has Been taken op In relooatiug roads, gulag around bills; and about fifty ???< ihomutd in mv coun ty*bofebeen changed duHog the lost ? % > 0 W? have bat fsw miles of sandy roods. Much has been said in the Good Boads Magazioe u to mixing a ud with clay on cloy roods and clay . with mod on aoodj roods, with which Iooooor and freely admit from expert* ' ODOO and obeofTstino that a proper c mixture of clay and sand makes a _ permanent and flrat class road-bed. 8 lo ouootka where sandy roads pre- 11 the deep sand gives the . oasrs of roods In the summer more trouble than the mud oo our clay Nodi does lo the winter; but I am } told by tbersprsssutstlTss of the lower . ooooutaetfcoft they, at a nominal ooet, are BMklag first oiass permanent rood* by diguing through the sand and throwing the olay in the centre of the road bed, thoroughly mixing day with . the aura, which I am told makees ' flrat dia permanent rood, both winter aod amttmar. Butr in. my county mod* nods ars few *nd far between ; nor day mods are cla^r*>n top aod clay tat bottom, aa wo eon not dig through alaw mastaawd u> place oo the road bad. We can only find sand in th* itttaiM or ooeaMooaliy in limited a?ntkise. so it ssoms that the only Son et aakluf a permunent Improve Jurat on our public highways la by Utt uwof stone or gravel; the latter ia Bar opinion to preferable and more ? Li I n m w I bait ooMtraeUd daring the last fell and winter about one mile of publie mad aear the oitj of Abbeville, which I coated with gaavel. Formerfar IMe road was almoat Impaaaible u ? >' caring the winter mouths, having been onm kid for 15 yean with pole*, * la the spring ot 1902. tbe*e poles bav- < lag baooue rotten, in many place* u deep Mm ware eat into the road. " The petoa were taken op and thrown into lite dllchtc on tbe sides of the it<ad; the road aerapera were run over p lite aaad, whieh wee pat In good roadman for aaaamer travel. On the 15tb 11 of October the county oonvict gang ? wssBt to work, on tbto road. The n ? nad WM widened to a dioUnce of 25 ' \ foot, giving good drainage. The looms u worn at oaoo pat to hauling grovel, ? wMch wa? ipiiM over the rood at an u aveaogo depth of 4 lnoboe. This road woo Mraaurly a terror to the traveling aobttflL aad WOO known ai "Gordon'# c Lane," bat la no longer 00 designated; ? laatand II Ja apoken of oa ouo of the a beet roado ever eonatrueted in tb* I coanty and parbapoin the aiate.

Oar present system of road construction is tbs beet eo flu* sdoptsd in the and nothing is lacking exoept the means with which to carry on the work. Oar prseent system of utilising oar coavlot labor in working oar public highways Is In my opinion both jadidoasand eeooomical. The present law, however, In my opinion ahouid ha eo amsnrtsd ss to allow all eonvicta to basso tenoed to labor on ths public works of the ooanty where convicted, and to abolish the state farms. By this abolition ths state will receive s greater amount of revenue at $4 per math, ss ths preeent lsw provides, than Is now realised by working the convicts on the ftste farms. Past experlsnoe In this county bss demon* strated that the total coet of oonvict ? labor leased faim the state is $10 per moth, including wsges, board, cloth lag, etc. rreeuumr, waicu i? very uur.lieble, to do the same amouut of ] work m oonvlcts, will oont In ibis . county about $20 per month. I may ) say In conclusion that tbe tax payers ! of this county bare become thoroughly aroused on tbe question of road im- ; provement, and in a very short time j r a good roads convention will be held y for tbe purpose of organising a good 1 roads afodatleu, when many or our ' bsst citizens will render valuable a?i sietsnce to tbe county board of commissioner* in fathering public road I improvement.

Lettuce is an abttolute preventive of w smallpox. * No one is in the leant particle of danger of catching smallpox tj who eats a little lettuce every (lay. Smallpox belongs to the scorbutic t| clasa of diseases. Sailors at sea de- a prived of fresh vegetable** get ttcurvv. Scurvy is a typical scorbutic disease. Smallpox is another. Smallpox always rages during the winter season |> when the poor people are deprived of t*j fresh vegetable foods. Celery and a onions are good for this purpose, but there is such a long interval between their being gathered and being eateu ? that they lose most of their anti-scor butic properties. Lettuce is nerved shortly after it is picked and hence contains the valuable pro j>er ties which will prevent -mall pox. We Hay without the least hesitation or reserve that lettuce will prevent smallpox. It is a thousand times better than vaccination. It has no liabilities, like vaccination, to produce other diseases. We are willing to Mtake our professional reputation on ^ the broad statement that any one who eats lettuce daily will not catch smallpox, whether he is vaccinated or not. ^ b L. W.
