ORANGEBURG DRY GOODS CO. GOOD ROADS ADV TAGEOUS Dear Editor: In reply to my letter of. July .Ust, 1908, on the subject! of diversification of Southern agr:-| culture and industries, some of th *j editors to whom it was sent asked ! me to write to them from time to time on matters of interest to ^..e people of our section. This has led me to talre the liberty of addressing you on a topic of importance to all oar peojtle and especially to the farmers of the South. If the farm is to be profitable it must not merely produce abundant crops, but its products must he put where they can be sold. By what ever means of transportation they may ultimatly be carried before they reach the final consumer, our farm products move primarily over the country highways, and the condition of the roads leading from the farm to the shipping point or to a near by consuming center, such as a man ufacturing town, affects materially the profits of the farmer and tue value of his farm. The condition of the road controls the size of the load that can be hauled over it and the speed at which it can be carried. An improvement by whit-1 the farmer is enabled to carry, with the same vehicle and the same team, a load seventy-five or one hundred per cent heavier, will result in a sub stantial saving in his time and in the wear and tear of his vehicles and 'teams. The construction of good roads leading from a market town has practically the same effect is bringing the farms nearer to the town. It extends by several miles in every direction the urea of terri tory in which farmers can profita bly engage in market gardening and dairying. That this is true has been effectively demonstrated in those localities in the Southern States and in other sections of the country where road improvements haw Inien carried out intelligently and sy>le matically. The cost of the farmer of hauling his products over poor- roads is not always appreciated, lor the re.UHon that it is rare tnat a farmer pays for having his hauling done. The United ha? male an investigation of this States Department of Agriculture matter, however, and tin- results show the cost for cotton, for instance, to lie an average rate of twenty seven et nts per ton per mi'.e lor .in average haul of 11.S miles. Thai road Improveineut would materi lly reduco 'his cost is shown by the fol lowing striking-statement in the "tear Hook of the Agriculture Depariinetil for 1903: "If it were possible to increase the average weight cf a wagonloa-l of cotton in the United States from three bales," as it now is. to fo ir bales, without increasing tue co.--t of hauling the load, the saving on a cr<ip equal to the. one picked in 1905 would amount to SJ.0D0.000: and if the average load of wheat, now bushels, were increased by 20 bush els, the saving effect in hauling a crop like that e* 1305 would be more AN TO THE FARMERS. than $8,000,000." In addition to what may be teriR ecl the commercial aspect of good; roads they have a highly important! social aspect as well. They bring the farmer into closer touch with the world at large. He and his family are not forced to remain at home for days at a time because thd conditions of the roads may make traveling unpleasant if not difficult Good roads insure efficient aud j prompt rural mail delivery, plac-' ing the newspaper on the table of the farmer early on the day of "Is publication, enabling him to trans act much of his business by mail and to take advantage of early in formation as to fluctuation in the prices of his farm products. Good \ roads mean that the farmer and the members of his family can enjoy I to a greater degree th: society of their neighbors and friends in the ?.?mv;; pfd com;'., v. They mean that l.;s c.l ildreu can be more regular i.l sein.i: attendance and ra*i rocvive to u greater degree the advantages of education. They mean the hr?ng I ins: closer together of the *own nnd country, with advantages on both sides, for as the farmer ie benefited by being brought into closer touch with the town, so all the business interests of the town prosper as the result of the facility with which the [ farmer and his family can do their! shopping. Good roads also benefit I the inhabitants of towns and cities J by affording facilities for pleasant' j country drives. They invite the busi ness man to the establishment of country and suburban homes, such as he can enjoy only when he assured that the condition of the roads will be such as to enable ...in j to reach his place of business prompt ly in all kinds of weather, i I think it may truthfully be said that there are few matters of su a ?general importance to all the peo ple of any community as the pro vision of good roads, and I believe, [therefore, that all of us who have I the progress and prosperity of the 'South at heart should do all in our I power to aid in the creation of a public opinion favorable to road im iprovement. The system that should be adopted in any locality is one Ion which it would not be proper for i me to tender advice, even if i were I qualified to do so. it is necessarily I a matter that can lies; he determined j by the people directly interested and who are acquainted with the peculiar ? needs and conditions in their ueigh Iborhoods. The interest of the Com pany in good roads as a means or aiding in Southern development was i evidenced in a very practical way j when a few years ago. in co-opera lioji with the National Good Roads Association and tin- Department of Agriculture, it sen a special good I roads train over the system, carrying road-building machinery and expert j road-builders, who built short stretch |es of object lesson roads and deliv ered addresses at central points where good roads conventions were held. The. Land and Industrial De partment of this Company is keeping close touch with the good roads movement throughout the territory traversed by Its lines and will r*e glad, at all times, to co-operate with the people of any locality by giving information, or in any other practi cable and reasonable way.

Give One Dollar to Campaign Fand and Get One. The Hon. Moses C. Wetmoro, Chairman of the Finance Committee 1 of the Democratic National Commit tee, has adopted a very good plan of obtaining contributions to the] Bryan Campaign Funo. He has | shipped to us fifty Bryan Buttons, which contains a splended likeness | of the great Democratic leader, sur rounded with a Hue of red and these words printed on a ground of pure white: "I Gave My Dollar: Did ."You?" That is all; but it is enough, it I means that every one who wears | I this Button has shown some sympa | thy with the splendid fight Mr. ' Bryan is making for the restoration of the Government at Washington j to the control of the people. These ! buttons are iutended for Dollar Con j tributors to the Democratic National I Campaign Fund. Every good Demo crat should wear one of those But tons. Mr. Wetmore thanks The Tunes and Democrat for the work it is doing for the Democratic Cause j and promises to renew our supply of J Buttons when the present shipment has been placed. It ought to go like hot cakes. Mr. Bryan was never more con- ] I vincing than he is in the present i campaign. He is making a very j sorry figure of his big opponent and ; the people are stirred as they have never been stirred before by his appeals for a square deal in the ad } ministration of the affairs of the ? Federal Government. All that is needed to assure the success of the j Democratic party .in this struggle . is the support of the Democratic ; voters; their money as well as their j good will. This is a personal ques tion. How much have you given? i Buy one of the Bryan Buttons. i - [ At any time when your stomacn ! is not in good condition, you should j take Kodol, because Kodol digests ' all the food you eat. and it supplies : health and strength for the stomach j in that way.

Fine City JxX?. Dr. D. J. Hydrick has opened up a suburb which he very appropriately has named Fairvlew. . It is located in the North-eastern portion of the city, as shown in cut in ad. in another column. The lots are about 5-8 miles from the Court House, and about 10 minutes walk to the business center. They are high, overlooking the city and beautifully situated in a first class section.

TWICE CURED OF First Case a Rash Which Itched and Stung?Threatened Ten Years Later With Blood-Poison in Leg ?But Both Times the Sufferer's RELIANCE IN CuTICURA PROVED WELL-FOUNDED "About twelve or fifteen years aro, while living in West Virginia. I baa a breaking-out, and it itched and stung so badly that I could not have any peace because of it. I saw three doctors and thoy did not agree on what it was, so one of them gave me something that he called medicine, but I called it soda, water. I might just as well have washed in rain-water. Then I got some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cutieura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and I have not been bothered with the itch ing since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had la grippe and pneumonia which left me with a pain in my side. Treatment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break <.ut. It got in pretty bad shape, so I went to a doctor. He was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but it did no good. So I sent for another set. of the Cuticura Remedies. I used them three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. i Now I won't be without Cuticura. J. F. Hennen, R. F. D. Z, Milan, Mo., ] May 13, 1907."
