President and Gentleman, County Good Roads Association : have no set speech to mnke on the *tlon of uood roadH. It Is useless for me iv, however, that I am with you wnd will. lerall the assistance In my power as the nty Supervisor of this County to iurther rove the public highways ot Abbeville nty. I reuret exceedingly that the i-ssary means are not available to give to people mio!) roads as the necessity of tbe 'eilng public demands. VVecan, however, tt.e roads In the County In good condition lummer travel only, but It Ik the winter iths when the people are dissatisfied and In complaints every day'as to tbe lmmhle condition of the public roads, and I ly admit these complaints are not made bout cause. nw Gentlemen, It Is during the winter iths, as a rule the farmers especially If the is-arein passable condition, preferto use roads for marketing surplus products of farm and returning with loads of fertlrs apd other farm supplies, but quite frently the roads are in such condition durlutr ter anu early spring that, the farmers are :ed to postpone this kind of worK until in theSprlng until the roads become dry hard. He Is therefore compelled by force lrcumstances to do this hauling when pers tbe ground Is In good condition for his wh to run. Is useless, however, for me to take up your e with such statements as ibis when ry man preBent understands this perhaps er than I can tell It, but as the County ervisor and member of County Board of amlssloners, I desire to make a few re ks on the financial condition of the CounIn order to give you an idea as to the >unt of funds available the current year public roHd Improvement. It *eems that expenditures of the County government e exceeded the appropriations during the i, o yearn uy uuuui joo,wu.uv. xu iovo 100.00 wbh borrowed from the Sinking id CommlF-rilon. It was thought at that e that S13.000.00 would p?y up all dejncles which would leave ?12,000.00 in the ids of the County; Treasurer, which wan ught would about equal the levy for orary County purposes that year, but when past debts of the county were all paid it i found that little more than ?6000.00 whs , and when I assumed charge this balo seems to have been entirely absorbed deficiencies previous to my admlnlstrai. During the past two years a further de jncy was made amounting to something r 813,000,00 making a total of ?38,000.00 for past 8 years. ow Gentlemen, the appropriation for the *ent year is the name tnat It has been for t several years, 2 1-2 mills for ordinary nty purposes and 1-2 mill special lor Jsand bridges. So you can readily see it limply out of the question for the County ird of Commissioners to relieve the peoof the inconvenience of having bad roads lng the winter and spring, as we have not funds for the purpose of making pertient improvements. We can give you d summer roads and that is about all we promise you. As I have said awhile ago, County Commissioners have resolved to the County this year ou the appropriai If possible so to do, as I believe that it Is mg even 11 It was not a flagrant violation the laws of the State to spend so much re money than is appropriated ; it is rung the County in debt every year thus sing the County to borrow money to pay t Indebtedness, when the County levy for bevflie County lor County purposes is ong the lowest of any County in the Btate. ill also state that the books in my office 1 show that, the current expenses of the inty not lnoluding roads and bridges ounted to last year about the entire inty levy less about 81,000.00. These exldlt.ures include salaries, Court expenses ir House and other items which the law scribes shall be paid, and over which the inty Board ol Commissioners huve no itrol. DEATH OF DR.

The Xntlon'o Wealth. Ninety-four billion dollars, in round numbers, was the wealth of the nation when the-census of 1900 was taken. It is greater than that now by at least $6,000,000,000 if the rate of increase in" the years preceeding tbe census has <*] been maintained during the past two years and it is not'to be doubted that such is the case, rne unueu states has more than doubled its wealth in 20 years and there seems to be no reason why the progress made during that period, which it is needless to say has -h never been equalled by any other country, should not go on for the next 20 years. The resources of the country . via are practically boundless, its produciug capacity can be developed to an almost unlimited extent, it'can suatain a population five or six times as large as it now has. In view of what has been accomplished in material advancement during the las), two decades, it does not appear extravagant to. estimate the wealth of th6 United TgH States a quarter of a century hence at $200,000,000,000, with a vi.st Increase in industries and commerce. This country is now the world's 'iVjH leading banking power. Taking Euro pean esti mates ot the oaiiKing power 01 various countries the comptroller of the currency has made a comparison of the total with the prestnt banking power of the United States, showing that in this particular this country is twice as powerful as Great Britain, nearly twice as powerful aa all continental Europe and almost equal to the whole mass of foreign countries enumerated. Nowhere else does the concentration of floating capital approacli such a degree of development as in the United States. This demonstrates conclusively that this country , is now the money power of the world and it is steadily growing stronger in this position. It is interesting to not6 ? also that iu comparison with the public debts of other great nations that of ours is small iu amount.
