DEPENDABLE HIGHWAYS Philadelphia, ^a., March 7.?The Bureau of Highways of this city has concluded its eight-year study of the Byberry-Bensalem test roadway and announced its findings as to the comparative wearing qualities of the various types of pavement with which the highway was surfaced in 1913. Aocordng to the report the sections paved with vitrified brick have cost the least in annual repair and maintenance, and the sections covered with j different varieties of cement concrete have cost the most. The actual fig-I uren on up-keep cost per square yard ' per year are, for vitrified brick, eighttenths of a cent and, for cement con-' crete.^17 cents. Bituminous concrete types have cost 12 cents a square; yard each year for maintenance and bituminous macadam, seven cents. These figures, if stated on the basis of a mile of lC-foot roadway, would result in the following yearly up-keep costs: cement concrete $1,652.12, bituminous concrete $1,124.58, bituminous macadam $693.70 and vitrified brick 76.98. The Byberry-Bensalem road is the beginning of the main thoroughfare between this city and New York. It was constructed in 2 sections as fol lows: seven of vitrified brick, five of cement concrete, six of bituminous concrete an deight of bituminous macadam. Care was taken, because of tha importance of the highway, to construct each section in a substantial manner so as- to withstand the heavy traffic. Regarding this traffic the report says: "The road was obliged to carry practically all of tho heavy commercial truck traffic between these two cities in addition to the countless trains of government trucks during the war?a sum total which in weight j and intensity was sufficient to con-1 stitute a severe test of the durability i \ of the most substantially constructed r city street." , w I'i^ i ??

I The only knocker we know of that is ol* any value is Opportunity! DR. J. \V. IJABOOOK 1)1 KS AT RKSIDKNCK. Dr. James Woods Babeoek, alienist and recognized authority on pellagra. died suddenly at his residence. Pinehurst, Saturday morning about 5 o'clock aftor a short illness. Dr. . Fabcyjck suffered an attack of influenza last Christmas but had apparently recovered. He was on the streets a few days ago and had been ill but a short while when the end. came. The announcement of his death Saturday was a surprise and shock to his numerous friends and admirers. Dr. Bahcock was easily one of the best known and most eultured physicians cf South Carolina; was almost to the hour of his death a diligent student in liia chosen line o? work and w$s held in highest regard by j persona familiar with liia scholarly i nttninmetns. His death removes from this city a man who had det voted a large part of his life to a study of mental diseases and to pellagra. He was easily one of the outstanding alienists of the South. Dr. Babcock, who was-.born in Chester, August 11, 1856, was the son of Dr. Sidney E. Babcock and Margaret Woods Babcock. the former having received his training in Europe. The son after completing his preparatory studies entered Harvard university and took the full academic courbe and then entered the medical school at Harvard and completed that course. For some years atyer his college career he was assistant physician at McLean ho.spital, tlorhervillo, Mans., and specialized In mental diseases. ' flotul* Slate Hospital. i During Governpr Tlllman'a first administration Dr. B. W., Taylor was requested to rqpdtnmend a head-for the state hospital for the insane and ae a result of that request Dr. I3at>| cock c&:ro to Columbia in 1891 to ajbr . ?J . , * ' * .

With Bmall appropriaI tions he hud to build additional quarters, to meet the constantly growing demands upon the* institution, and when it is cpnsiderett hdw lUdlo he had to work with, his accomplishments nt the hospital are little short or marvelous. * \ It was while Dr. Babcock" was superintendent of the hospital that he made the first observation ot pelia1 gra iii .the South and subsequently he became a recognized authority on this malady as wel las on mental diseases. * "> J There was always a close friend Huip oeiween ti. K. Tillman and Dr. Babeock and after the terrible storm of 1893, when the coast of the state and the islands along the coast suffered severely, Dr. Bacock went to the scene as the personal representative of the governor. He spent weeks in helping the unfortunate people, many of whom were ill as a result of the storm. An another occasion Senator Tillman and Dr. Babcpck traveled abroad together for a .considerable period and it was during this t.me , that Dr. Babcock gave special study to pellagra in Italy. Opened Private Sanitarium. After leaving the state hospital in j 1914, Dr. abcock opened a private j sanitarium for nervous and mental cases near the city of Columbia and met with decided success in this work. - ? Dr. Babcock was an ardent lover of his state, of its traditions and of its history. He was an omnivorouc reader and kept his room plentifully supplied with volumes and when ^ troubled with insomnia would turn S >n the light and read in bed. He had i] i remarkably retentive memory and rould give quickly and accurately information on a vast number of subjects. To what he termed his "fads," g which were collecting books and an- _ tique furniture, he devoted much i Lime and often said that persons should have some such hobby as a means of recreation . y s FIRE IN EDGERELD n BURNS POSTOl'KICK. h ri li Edgefield, March (i.?Early yes- r, terday morning about 5:30 o'clock j the building in which t he postoffic'e rp was located was totally destroyed by p fire. .vThe building was owned by ^ TomPkln? and.
