$400,000 Bond Issue
Now Assured For
Blacktopping Roads
Laurens, April 9. — Senator R. T.
Wilson has announced he would in
troduce a hill in the senate this week
calling for a bond issue of $400,000
to be sold over a period of two years
for the purpose of improving and
'constructing roads in Laurens coun
ty. The bill, he said, already has the
formal approval of the county’s low
er house members, which means that
its passage will be only a routine
matter.
The road improvement program,
he said, was in line with his plat
form stated on the stump that he
would seek to blacktop all school bus
and rural route roads in the county
as well as entrances to churches. He
had found by consulting with the su
pervisor, he said, that approximately
75 to 80 miles of such roads still re
main in the county and that the bond
issue would provide enough money
to do the job with probably enough
left to repaint the court house.
The senator said that he hoped
■enough money would be left also to
provide toilet facilities for colored
people in the building and also to
improve the toilets already provid
ed for the whites.
Of the total issue, $200,000 would
be sold this year and $200,000 next
year at a rate not exceeding three
and one-half per cent interest. The
county board of commissioners is au
thorized to dispose of the bonds at
public or private sale, in blocks as
the board may deem advisable or
necessary except that the second
year bonds shall be issued only upon
the approval of a majority of the
legislative delegation including the
senator.
The specified purpose of the bill is
for providing funds “to repair Lau
rens county court house, to purchase
road machinery, to repair and con-

How Grandmother
And Mother Helped
Attractive Girl!
MISS LOLA TRENT
Like all of us, adolescents have
their problems. Parents who un
derstand the growth, stresses, needs
and changes of this age can do
much to help. Many young girls
are eager to learn what to do for
themselves on trying days. The
herbs in Scalf’s Indian River Medi
cine have • been used for many
years by women of various ages
and recommended to other women.
For example, Miss Lola Trent,
Sneedville, Tenn., writes:
“For seven years, that is ever
since I grew into womanhood, I had
suffered on certain days from se
vere pains. I tried several medi
cines recommended for such trou
bles, with no results. My appetite
was very weak, too, and as a result
I ate so little I felt weak and tired,
and lost weight. My mother told
me how my grandmother used to
make teas for my mother when she
was a girl, using some of the same
herbs as contained in Scalf’s Indian
River Medicine, and how these teas
gave her relief from pains which
seemed like the pains I was suffer
ing. I was in bed sick when my
father brought me a bottle of
Scalf’s Indian Rive!’ Medicine. By
the time I had taken two bottles I
noticed my suffering had stopped
to some extent, then I took three
more bottles to make sure Scalf’s
Indian River Medicine was really
my friend.
“I’m happy to say that Scalf’s In
dian River Medicine has helped me
more than all other medicines I
have tried. Scalf’s Indian River
Medicine surely is a wonderful ap
petizer, too. I eat heartily now,
feel great, and I’m even putting on
needed weight. I trust my state
ment may be helpful to other wom
en suffering as I was.”
The first bottle of Scalfs Indian
River Medicine must satisfy or
your money back. On sale at all
drug stores.

Ike. Man of Integrity
Of President Eisenhower — “He
is a man of integrity, with a sin
cere determination to serve Ameri
ca. It isn’t easy for one man to
deceive another who is sitting
across the table conferring with
him. He’ll make mistakes—and
members of his Cabinet will too—
but they will be npstakes of the
head, and not of the heart.”
Of the Department of Agricul
ture — “Frankly, we inherited a
mess—we were drifting into a sit
uation that is very dangerous.
. . . But I belive we can find a way
out which will entail less govern
ment regulation and control and at
less cost to the taxpayers in the
form of subsidies.”
