' * Boyden Nims, of Columbia, J: , writes The State as follows about a matter in which?!! are intereeted: *'There are just two ways by which people can be benefited ? ' by the building of good roads' and no way by which they can be injured if the cost is equitably assessed and efficiently expend, } . ed. Any person who has to travel from place to place is . helped by having a good road to travel over. Every land o^rner i* in Richland county will be bene. ; 5 flted to some degree by the building of every mile of the proposed paved roads in increased land values created thereby. This will vary from a fraction of a cent per acre on ' > - * J:_. . ? . I mihum mum jisutui. lrum liiu paved roads to many dollars per acre on lands immediately beside them.y For that reason, before any extensive road buildins is undertaken some scheme should be worked out whereby the land owners of the county will pay for the roads approxi. ' . mately in proportion to the int crement in the value of their huid following the building of the roads. Any person living but not owning land near one of these good roads will have to , pay for the privilege in the form of higher rent or other exactions of the owners without regard to any vehicle or other tax they may have paid for road building." km Argument for Good Roads, A steam locomotive and a gasoline locomotive (commonly ..]v called automobile) are both dcV serving of a Rood, smooth and f. . . hard road to run upon, but tney differ in that one will run on ) nothing else and the other will move in the mud. ';y'.V people who won't build good ,.+ \ coeds foe gasoline locomotives V would, we suppose, run the steam locomotives over the ruts - v i and atones and into the holes, if I ihej could, ahd after they had been worn out In two or three ysara, send them to the junk i heap. Then they would buy others. The chief objection, we think, to the automobile is that it will .'4*. sun after a fashion on a bad ' road. If paved roads had been a hnrvl a a1 * m AA/\nnri m?? ^ /am .alupumccij hcvcwwi J autut .mobiles the people woiud have built thousands of miles of them looff aero?and millions on mil, lions of dollars would have been \ . ; "isafed. The "machine" would \.i? have lasted six, eight or ten >v. years instead of three and the v. consumption of gasoline would k';whave been cut in half.?The State.. ,?) A Truthful Editor? The following is from a recent issue of The Winnsboro News and Herald. Those who believe ' > ill tan do so; those who do not J - toiieye it can also do so: Just seven years ago. the J* temporary editor of this paper ?- was campaigning for office and V stopped atcBob Lewis' house in >*". Long town. It being hot, he f took off hia vest in which he had a fine watch, and, laying it on a .fence in the back yard, a calf chawed up a pocket of the garh* manfc containing the watch. Last1 'i>y .week Dr. Pollard was called to | ' .V*> see a sick cow down there. It' ^ turned out to be the same calf j f* and the time piece was found in i X such position between the lungs ! that the respiration?the closing 1 ?M AM/) tko fillin#* 1? mi wiu mi? lining ui nit; iuuks? ,v> kept the stem winder wound up and the watch had lost but one hour in seven years. The watch was removed by Dr. Pollard and the cow is doing The lower house of congress' on Monday passed a measure to I repeal the 10 per cent, war tax ! on soda water and ice cream, j Xfee bill will go to the senate 1 within a few days. ] Efforts of York eowtfy officer* to pat? atop to illicit moonshin&SSgrtsr tilleries if taken to mean that while operations of the rooonahinera have noteoaeod entirely, there has at least been a temporary loll in the business. Not a single seizure has been reported in the county in the last two weeks and officers have only been able to run upon places where liquor has been made. According to officers, there has been a lull in the moonshining business in the King's Mountain Battleground country for several weeks until here of late when word has come to them that several notorious moonshiners have made a run or two and are making preparations to go into business on a more or less extensive scale. The situation in Broad River township is quieter than it has been in some time, although the ! officers are pretty certain that there are several plants doing I business over there. However, the fact is kept pretty quiet? 1 quieter than usual, and evidences I of moonshine are not as visible i in that section now as they were ; six weeks or two months ago. ; It is the belief that if any quantity of liquor is now being ; manufnctured in Broad River, it ] is being taken out of the county for sale?presumably to Union and Cherokee counties. Over in the eastern seotiun of the county very little moonshining is being carried on , say the officers. In fact that section never did bear a reputation for the making of much joy-juice. Officers have information that j several little "coffee-pot" dis uneries are being operated in the vicinity of Rock Hill; but it is almost impossible to catch the operators, because the distilleries are so small and Handy that they can be moved upon a moment's notice. These small affairs are being operated almost exclusively by negroes who make only a small amount of corn liquor at a time and who are using the utmost precaution in their illegal business, quite in contrast to some of the bolder distillers over in the western side. Discussing the situation an officer said that the homes of a number of people in various sections of the county, most of them negroes, have been raided in the past couple of weeks and in several instances quantities of mash or "beer" had been found. The raiding officers were confident that the preparation was being made ready for con-| version into "squirrel, liquor." The residents claimed that it TURNIP | I . ; t Now is the tinn I Fall use. | | We have all th | grown by one o | in America.

The home of a negro in Bullock'^ Creek-township was raided recently. There a quantity of corn mash was found. The negro claimed it was hog feed which he had prepared. Aaked to explain the presence .of the molasses therein, he explained that the molasses had become sour and that furthermore some of it had flies in it. and he calculated it would be just as well to include it in the hog feed. The officers, crestfallen, had to let it go at that The home of a negro woman living near Rock Hill was recently raided. A quantity of mash just about "ripe" for liquor making was found and the officers wanted to know about it. "I'se jest gittin' ready to make 1 a little vinegar," she explained to the officers. "My ole mammy, she uster make vinegar out o' corn mash an' 1 is fixin' ter make some accordin' to ber prescripshun." Enlarging Its Plant In order to accommodate its out put sufficiently to meet the demand for Anderson cars, the Anderson Motor company, of Rock Hill, will erect within a short time an additional plant which will enable the company to manufacture 20 cars a' day. The present output is eight cars a day. Announcement to this effect was made by J. G. Anderson, president of the company in connection with the announce- , ment that the company had purchased two acres of land in the block immediately opposite the present factory building. The new building will be constructed of steel and reinforced concrete and will house the upholstering, painting and finishing departments. It is estimated that the building will cost approximately $200,000, and when it is completed the Anderson Motor company will have approximately eight acres under roof and will then be the largest industrial plant in Rock Hill and one of the largest in the State.
