NEARLY 28,006 MILES OF - .. \-dy- GOOD ROADS BOLT 1X1921 Road building has recovered from the setback received during the war, and prospects are bright'-'for the futttipe. Approximately 14,000 miles of road have been constructed during the present season by the States in conjunction with Federal &icT, according -to the Bureau of Pu^riiC' Roads, United .States Department of Agriculture, and probably an equal amount independ* ent of Federal aid. More miles of imr proved road have been built than dur itf?..*ny otner year. OQsts of road grading and construction , with local materials is down practically to the 1914 level. Some reductions, also .have been made in freight rates on road materials. The importance of this item is shown by the fact that in some cases it has been estimated that increased freight . rates-'have added 10 per cent to the cosi Of a road. Prices ot manufactured road materials tend downward; the .present level is materially lower than that o?aTyear ago. With the new appropriation by Congress of $75,000,000, added impetus wDl be given to new road construction. Many of the states are considering enlarged amounts of State aid, and the new law will have a tendency to encourage this policy. It will also secure the construction of a system of interstate and intercounty highways, rather than haphazard selection of i" snmo PQflPS i*l the. Oast. JL VOU0 UO AM UVAMV vwvw - Jt The meeting of the Association of State- Highway Officials to be held in j Omaha, Nebr., December 5 to 12, will be devoted largely to the discussion of ways and means of complying with the new law and getting construction ' vnder way. v * V? / * V : %-'* OBITUARY. J > _ ^ ??? Mrs. Hulda Emeline Ballington departed this life at her home near * Lexington, S. C., November 16, 1921, . ^ .v ~ .;.age 68L years, 9 months and 28 days. ' la early life she was a member of Florence Baptist church, but after her . marriage, January 9, 1873, she moved i u> Nazareth E. L. church with her Husband where she 'remained a consistent and, faithful member until death. ! She is survived by her husband, Mr. J. C. Ballington, seven children, twenty-two grand children and seven great grand children. Two sons, two daughters, one grand chil<| and one great grand child have preceded her to the grave. Towards the close of r her life she was greatly afflicted and . *" suffered severely until the death angel came to her relief.. She was faithful in the discharge of her duties in the home, in the church and among her neighbors. We are confident that her soul rests in the presence of the Redeemer. i' - Funeral services were held at the -. 4, * ' p home, by her pastor, and the burial services in the family burying ground in the vicinity, the day following her death. - - : , ... ? r NOTICE. > >;' , The Junior Order U.

Builder, Arouses Dull t . Faculties Many a man and many a woman feels all out of sorts from thin, weakened blood. The. least little thing gone wrong throws them into a wild form of despondency Instead of bracing up and meeting ordinary difficulties, they are downed. Nerves are on edge. Appetite lags. Sleep is restless. They - are weak and tired and dull. Poor blood works its havoc till the will loses its power. Few people who fall MHgMmbits of worry and despondency - realize that most of their troubles are due to lack of endurance?to blood that has become weakened by overwork or straining. Healthy men and women with rich, red bloqd. see things brightly. They Jackie life with zest and go along smilingly, full of eagerness and endurance. ?

NEEDED GREAT?AND NOW. ,a That the city of Columbia should build an inviting and com|prtable ^' market place to which the farmers of 0 w p .Richland, Lexington and other coun- ! ties might bring their vegetables, , fruits, poultry, eggs and meats and ? : i si ; sell them is not open to argument. So! I i i much The State has been saying in - i sistently six or seven years, having j ^ begun to say it with all the emphasis i it could command long before the 0 United States went to war with Germany. An attractive and commodious marr e ket building, erected at a convenient i ?1~ ^.o.rlricr oil +V\o onnftlntmpnts piat'C anu na viii^ uii vuv ? - , conducive to health and economy, would be of great benefit to Columbia. It would save Columbians a great deal of money as well as make a great deal of money for farme.rs. What Mr. G. W. Thomas says in a ^ letter today is jn substance what?The State has pleaded for. How the market place should be conducted and how it should be controlled, The State does not under- take to say, but it has no doubt that, C were it provided, with the desirable equipment where the producer and consumer would meet, the details would almost take care of themselves. ' i ~ The notion of a central market is | > not new in Columbia, or anywhere. F ' Such a market we had but we did not 5 maintain it when the town outgrew it 8 i we did not enlarge it and we did not improve it as progress in sanitation ~ required. It is foolish for a city to be without a central market where producers of fresh meats and vege- J tables and all fresh thnigs can traae directly with consumers. Without it Columbia is behind the times a longi \ i way arid, for. that reason, is unnecesj sarily taxing itself and at the same time neglecting to give to the farmers in its neighborhood what would con siderablv enhance their prosperity.
