We are confronted, therefore, by the two extrftnes, deep sand and deep mud, and the name of either signilles death to acricultural development, to so cial and intellectual iife; loeducation and religion. While naturally such a condition exists things are pretty eveuly balanced after all. In nearly all sections where sand predominates deposits of clay can be found, and if this be hauled upon the deep sand and thoroughly mixed with it you have a saud-clay road which cannot make deep sand in summer; sufficiently mixed with the clay, so as to overcome the tendancy to make mud in wet TrQolliuf rnn Viqvo * crnrirl vnnd *1 V<U VIIV I ) J VU IJIV'V M gj V\'\?

From a close study and observation ofi this phase of road improve?ent,! combined with some experience,' I am prepared to make the as-! sertion, in full confidence, that there is no section in the eastern part of the southern Appalachian states where really good, practical country roads may not be built by this process, if only per-; severance be the watch-word. Many fail for want of patient, persistent effort, and fail when r?? -well -wtthfn the goaf of^rtrrrv*vr Reflect a moment and you will see that a sand-clay road is not : in its perfected state until each! grain of sand is di iven and wedg-j ed tightly between other grains j of sand, and they in turn between others, ai:d soon through the entire body of the road, with only the small interstices tilled - * " - 1 -f L! ) I witn ciay ior ine purpose01 omu ing and to prevent slipping. Bear in mind clean, sharp sand is needed, and avoid saod which has been rounded off by ihe action of the wheels in the roadbed.

J. A. Williams of Patrick VN ins Organ The nice Farrand organ which was sold at auction by the Tillman-Davidson Company, was bought by Mr. J. A. Williams of Patrick. Mr. Williams'bid was for $4125. The organ is not over valued of $85.25. Ho is to be congratulated on getting an organ of such fine qualities at less than one half of the purchase price. This celebrated musical instrument is sold exclusively in this territory by the Tilhnan-David son Company, whose guarantee stands back of every trade made by them. assert that it is not only equally satisfactory but more so, from the fact that we have more and better drainage because of r>u h.r'ti ' ijq nijjw'h*' tiii..'-ff. ik..u tV> ytti hnro t*cnr tlJUr rt'ttsuu til it no ua?o v/uivi ov i and sharper sand. But in the middle and Piedmont sections of these southern Appalachian states we are not contined to sand-clay exclusively. This section is rich in gravel, which may be had f?<r the hauling. We may often combine these three types of road, dirt, gravel and sand clay in one system of good ro ds and have stretches of all three; but do not have mixtures of ail three; that is, do not have part of the width of the road of dirt and part of gravel or sandclay unless they are making the center of the road nine feet width of one or tho other and crowning or M1 'pinjA ii t^eiu.y lo mc uiwir es.

Glenn to Speak in Cheraw Tuesday Evening-, April 5th. Gov. R. B. Glenn, of North Carolina, will speak in the Presbyterian church next Tuesday evening, April the 5th, at 8 o'clock on The Laymen's Home Missionary Movement. Gov. Glenn has a national reputation as an orator. He is much in demand for chatauquas and conventions and lyceum bureaus retain him for the greater portion of his time. But he insists en giving part of his time to developing a deeper interest in this work in which he is himself so deeply interested. It is gratifying and refreshing to soc a man of Gov. Glenn's ability and reputation refusing re j munerative oilers and giving his j time to a work of this kind. j The public is cordially invited j to attend this meetiug next Tues- ^ day evening. Sheriff Martin of Charleston c went to James Island yesterday i just in time to prevent a race t riot, the ou'come of the arrest of five negroes and two white men Saturday. It is said that ( the negroes were ringing church i bells and calling the lawless ele- 1 inent together. 1 STATEMENT OF TH THE BANK O Located at Cheraw, S.
