and friends, and in all the assemblage
of some sixty persons,, none was
more keenly able to enjoy the gen mnp
linnnirjpss nf the occasion than
these central figures, one in his
aigthy-fourth and the other in her J
eighty-eigth year. Their ripe old
\ age waits gracefully upon them, and
they are still active and healthy.

dinner, spread under the giant oaks i
surrounding the home which they |
built forty-seven years ago in what
was then Edgefield county, whence 1

not a case of serious illness. Truly a
remarkable" record!
The descendants came from their
homes in various sections of the State
in an annualwmniet^ and to do honor
to this couple -from whom they
sprang, and they were augmented by ,
friends from the community for j
miles around?for a community in |

was born and reared. At that time
Jacob Luther Aull lived at the ancestral
home in the lower nart of
Newberry, where he continued to reside
until 1872. Of those present at
their wedding only the principals
survive. All the others have long

| Large Number^ of Trucks DistribJ
uted by the Federal Government
For Road Biulding.
I States taking advantage of the
[Federal Road Aid Act are receiving
[substantial additional assistance
J from the government through the
| distribution of 20,000 trucks by the
war department for good roads work,
according to the B. F. Goodrich Rub
ber Company.
Allotments of the first 5,335 army
trucks have been made. Most of
them will be distributed to states
east of the Mississippi. Later west- i
ern states will receive shipments
from western points, thereby balancing
up the quotas and equalizing as i
near as possible the freight charges,
which is the only item of expense to
i be borne by the State, excepting of |
I course, operation and upkeep exipense.
j The trucks turned over to the bureau
'of public roads, department of j
agriculture, are part of the 31,000 j
which were recently declared sur- j
plus by the war department, and are j
valued at $45,000,000 and include
j 11,000 new and 9,000 used vehicles
(ranging from 2 to 5 ton capacity,
I all in serviceable condition. They
must be used for good roads work
and will be apportioned to states
only upon request of the State Highway
Department on the basis of the j
financial aid under the Federal Road !
Act.

radius of towns and cities?the
building and maintenance of good ^
roads could be more than financed ^
by the saving to the operators of automobiles
and trucks, declares the B.
F. Goodrich Rubber Company.
i A test conducted in Ohio recently
to determine the saving in gasoline
iirom running over a good roaa as
! compared with was consumption over
(bad, medium grade roads, disclosed
a surprising difference. With five
| new army standard "A" trucks with
I seven different types of road service, ,
! showed a gain of six miles per gallon
I of fuel between the best and worst
types of roads. All the trucks were
: empty during the test. The trucks
I loaded showed that the poor road
| took seven times as much gasoline
per mile as the good one.
The test results showed an average
of 5.78 miles per gallon over a
dirt in good condition, 7.19 over fair
gravel, 9.38 over good gravel, about
the same over fair bituminous macadam
and good brick roads, 11.44
over extra smooth' brick and iy78 *
over good concrete.
The saving to motoring public in
gasoline alone would amount to millions.
of dollars annually. Perhaps ,
equal to this would be the saving in

portant item of car upkeep, as is
gasoline. Calculating the saving in '

'cars and trucks and also the item of
I time lost by poor roads, adequate
highways are undoubtedly a sane investment.
The United States Naval Academy
will celebrate its 75th anniversary '
next year, having been founded in
1845 by George Bancroft, who was
secretary of the navy in the cabinet
