Then jur on boiling water, stirring all tbe me, and adding only enough water make a batter of medium thickness, i it thickens by standing. Keep it arm during the day, and if the meal as really fresh it will be light al ight; but if it is uot, keep it only as arm as convenient during tbe night, jd if it is not light in the morning set le bowl into quite warm water; in Dout two hours it will be light. It ill not rise much; but will be light id fluffy. This we call "quick proof," id with it the yeast proper is set to orkiug.

The legislature of South Carolin last night listened to an enjoyuble an much enjoyed common sense talk o the subject of good roads. This there did not occupy the entire time of Pro J. A. Holmes, of the University < North Carolina and stale geologist hut referred briefly to many latei . ......o ...I,;..I, tUwnild ht? dovelntXM fostered and maintained. Mr. Holmes is a native of Sout Carolina, and though a young man, among the foremost of those who ai devoting time and brain to the uj building of the south in the develo| nient of natural riches. He is a sel made man, and the most forcible illiu t rat ions of the cost of bad roads whie he used last night was taken from hi own life. He recited how, wheu hoy, he had made three bales of eotto to aid in obtaining an education. T haul that cotton from Laurens t Newberry cost him $15 and consume live days on account of the horribl roads?as much an expense as a tri to New York on the cars. He then came to the subject upo which he was to address the generr assembly?good roads. He laid dow the proposition that those peopl who have not good roads, are paj ing a "mud, sand and hill tax, and for this they get no benefit. N creature in the animal or vegetabl kingdom is benefitted by bad roads not even tadpoles, for they die in dr weather. From letters he had writtei to 10,000 farmers, he had been ahle t estimate that the "mud tax" had cos North Carolina $10.000,000yearly, am the cost in South Carolina is half a great. With his stereopticon, he show jed how in other sections of this conn try hills were graded, and the road made smooth and tirm. In California convic' labor is used t< prepare the macadam at a cost c about 2") cents a day. against 7it cent in North Carolina for free labor. H suggested that a state rock crushin] plant could he estahlisl ed at or in con uection with the South Carolina peni teutiary, and by convict labor the cos reduced to a minimum. The countie could arrange with the railroads for i normal rate of transportation. Thi poorer counties might say that it wa very well for Greenville, Spartanburg Anderson, etc., to undertake this work but they themselves could not. I'rof Holmes said there was as much com mon sense in that statement as then would lie in the plaint of a country merchant that he could not keep hi: store open because he was not able t< do as much business as a wholesale store in Columbia. He advised moderation and common sense in the undertaking. Some sections do not ueed as much expense as - others. He then complimented the roads of Richland county leading out . of Columbia. The county supervisor y had accomplished, so easily that he hardly realized the value of his woik, j the building of roads that are as easily traveled as those celebrated roads o! y Mecklenburg county, North Caiolina, ^ u and at a cost of $100 per mile, while I the later had expended $3,000 a mile. ^ u He urged the legislature to advise their e people to experiment with sand and _ clay, mixed to the proper consistency. _ He could give no formula as to the composition, as clay differs in the ] e several sections of the stale. But or J dinarily a sand road for a basis, with a t surface of four iuches of clay, is the J 1 proper consistency. .. Iii the laying of macadum he urged s system. The substrata of larger rock should be carefully packed, and it ,| is economy to have heavy rollers. e Each upper siruLum should be packed il on carefully. e Throughout bis talk, he showed the t. exasperating difficulties and actual cx e travagance of bud roads, and by coin , parisou argued that a perpetual lux fot e had roads would be fur greater than ? (] lux lor perpetual good roads. e Several good arguments for wide lire H wagons wereudvuuced throughout the i- address. It may be that an individual u iu a commuuity has a hard tune with 0 a broud tire vehicle when the narrow tires cut the road and make the broad y lire appear al a universal disadvantage, k lu 15 euuulies in North Carolina I hey j, have the broad-tile wagon law and propose lo have il in die ulliers wlnn die proposed constitutional amenda meal is udopled. Il had slrut'K him ,] 1'orcibly thai the narrow tire would al;e ways follow the hard surface packed i, by the broad lire. He showed thai |, under equal conditions the nurrow tin il cut nine inches iuto the ground, while the broad lire sank but two iuches uud ?s found itself a surface. He illustrated with attractive views a the difference in the carrying capucitx t,. of a wagon le.u liuies laden on hurn H. roads and one with a flimsy load on soli, i sticky roads. He claimed that one oi L.. the items of mud tax was accounted c for in the fact that grain could be .. shipped here from the Mississippi volii ley as cheaply as it could be hauled ,t. over bad country roads to markit. j?

We want THE ENQUIRER to go as a TWICE-A-WEEK visitor to every home in York county.

This assistance is of much value to us, and it is our purpose to pay for it most liberally, in proportion to the service rendered. The propositions we make herein are , to all responsible individuals, in each and ! every locality. There is no monopoly in the matter. Because an individual returned the name of a certain subscriber last year, is no reason why he should have any claim upon that subscriber this year. Because one individual may al- , ready be at work in a given neighbor- , hood, is no reason why another should not also canvass in that neighborhood. < Every clubmaker is entitled to get sub- ' seribers whenever and wherever he or 1 she may be able to get them, and upon compliance with the conditions herein j stated, have them counted. Our plan of compensation to clubmak- ' ers this year is on the same line as here- 1 to fore?a competition for TWO LEAD- 1 ING PREMIUMS to be awarded for the 1 TWO LARGEST clubs, and a third leading premium for the largest club of NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
