Colombia.
Spv?r?l proposed plans for the construction
of permanent highways in
South Carolina were considered at a
meeting of the executive and advisory
committees and the nine vice
presidents of the South Carolina good
roads association held here.
The meeting was presided over by
L. D. Jennings of Sumter, president
of the association.
Sentiment at the meeting seemed
in favor of a bond issue. President
Jennings in a speech before the committees
expressed the belief that this
4soiia aVimiM nnt fnr less than
150.000.000.
"If North Carolina can build permanent
highways why cannot South Carolina?"
asked Mr. Jennings, and he |
answered his own question by declaring
that it could.v Confidence was expressed
by him that the people of the
state woudl authorize the building of
(permanent highways when they were
shown that these highways could be
built without cost to them, the state
merely having to lend its credit.
Highwav Commission at Work.
Adoption of a resolution favoring
federal aid for road building on the
same basis as now exists for at least
# another year, authorization of a con*
.tract for the 1922 license platee, an

highway association and a move
to get the railroad commission to
eliminate the dangerous underpass
crossing on the road from Little
Mountain to Prosperity under the
Southern railway tracks were the
more important actions of the state
highway commission ac its monthly
meeting here.

agricultural statistician in South Carolina
for the buret-u of crop estimates
or the United States department of
agriculture, the cotton acreage in the
state June 25 was 2,190,000 acres,
which represents a reduction of 27
per cent as compared with last year.
The condition on June 25 was 65 per
cent of normal, against 74 per cent
on the corresponding date of last year
and 78 per cent in 1919, the ten-year
average being 77 per cent.
The acreage planted and standing
in the entire United States on Jane

CALIFORNIA'S ROAD SYSTEM
Bureau of Public Road* Has Completed
Impartial and Thorougn
Inveatigat.on.
(Prepared by the U. 8. Department of
Agriculture.)
Kighty-seven and one-half per cent,
or 1,262 mile6, of California's highways
paved with concrete has been
found to be in good or better than
good condition by the bureau of public
roads of the United States Department
of Agriculture. Some months
ago an adverse report was made by

nia's highway system. The federal
bureau reports that only 12.5 per cent
of California's highway concrete Is
inferior.
California's concrete Darement Is
practically all four Inches thick. The
use of this thin slab, which came In
for so much condemnation in the first
report, made it possible to give a large
part of the state good highway service
at a reasonable cost. The design
was determined nearly ten years before
the heavy traffic came, so that,
measured by results, the California
commission's work appears to have
been a success. Seventy per cent of
the defective pavement occurs pn clay
and adobe soils, but a large mileage of
the same thin pavement on these adverse
soils still remains in good condition.
The bureau found the four-inch slab
inadequate (the commission itself has
abandoned It In favor of a five-inch
reinfaeed concrete design) and advises
that experimental sections be
made on the unfavorable soils. It
also finds that the three-eighths-inch
carpet coat, famous in California, does
not give a service ccmmensurate with
Its cost
Of interest in all parts of the country
Is the bureau's finding that there
is nothing presented by the entire
California study which indicates that
concrete Is not a successful pavement
Simple, satisfactory methods for classifying
the conditions of concrete
roads have been developed from this
study which gill be'found invaluable
In classifying roads in other states.
CONSTRUCTION OF GOOD ROAD
Careful Design and Best of Workmanship
Required, Especially for
the Foundation.
Every element of a modern road requires
careful design and the best of
workmanship. The foundation especially
must be deep and substantial,
and for this it would seem that the
usual layer of crushed stone is entirely
inadequate and unsuited. Underdrawing
is also very important, but usually
is laid out on theory rather than a consideration
of actual conditions that
vary every few yards. The surface is
vitally important, for it should be absolutely
smooth, as any initial irregularity
forms a starting point for
disintegration under the trip hammer
blows of a heavy truck wheel.
"1-2-3-MIX" ROAD SURFACE
Found Extremely Satisfactory on Main
Traveled Roads by Pennsylvania
Authorities.
At a result of long experiments thu
Pennsylvania state highway department
has found the "1-2-3-mix" highway
surface extremely satisfactory on
main traveled roads. This mixture "consists
of one part cement, two parts
sand and three parts stone. The highway
is eight inches thick at the side.
Is eighteen feet wide and reinforced
with wire mesh.
Good Repair Materials.
Broken stone and tar binder are
the only satisfactory repair materials,
proved country roads are of that type.
Heavy Duty Roads.
Of the 2,500,000 miles of highway in
the United States, only (5,250 miles
are subject to the demands of heavy
duty traffic.
Less Exorbitant Price*.
It begins to appear that roads can
be built for less than exorbitant prices.
Decrease in Road Cost.
T.nst rc?r a tvriicnl niilp nf rnoH in
Illinois cost more than $40,000 to

was $37.r?00.

I. Saul Preaching Christ in Damas.
cus (vv. 19b-22).
After Saul was baptized he remained
certain days with the believers In Damascus
(v. 19b). How beautiful to
think of the transformation which
took place!?one who was so passionately
bent on the destruction of the
disciples was now enjoying fellowship
with them.
1. Straightway preaching In the synagogue
(v, 29.) Saul, like every one
who Is really converted, begins to tell
of the newly found Savior. Every Christian
should be taught that it Is bis
business as soon as saved to heip to
save others. Saul was dead In earnest
In his preaching. His message ccn
cerned the Deity ,of Christ. His doctrinal
belief is summed up in six
words: "He is the Son of God."
2. The people amazed (v. 21). They
knew that the very one who had been
ringleader in persecuting the Christians
in Jerusalem and had come to
Damascus for the express purpose of
bringing them bound to the chief
priests, was now passionately advocating
that which he had so vehemently
sought to destroy.
3. The Jews confounded (v. 22). Saul
retired Into Arabia for three years.
During this time he was taught the
full truth of his mission (Gal. 1:17,
IS). Saul Increased in spiritual
strength and confounded the Jews,
proving that Jesus was nqt only the
Son of God, but their Messiah. His
proof, no doubt, Was by citation from
the Old Testament prophecies, showing
that the life, death and resurrection
of .Tesus exactly paralleled them.
That Christ died and rose again from
the dead, no one then could deny; the
transformation of Saul from a hater
to an ardent witness was a proof
which could not be gainsaid.
II. Saul Escapes Frcm the Jews
(w. 28-25).
He used the Scriptures with such
skill that-the Jews could not answer
him. Finding that the argument was
against them, the, Jews took counsel
how they might destroy Saul. So Intent
were they upon killing him that
they watched the gates of the city day
and night that they might take him.
When this was known to the disciples
they let him down at night in a basket
by the wall.
III. Saul Visits Jerusalem (w. 2629a).
This journey to Jerusalem was in
strange contrast with the one from
Jerusalem to Damascus. The one
was the leader of an Important expedition
under the authority of the Jewish
officers with the prospect of a
place of distinction in the councils of
the Jewish nation. Now he Is an outcast,
disowned by his countrymen, and
fleeing for his life. Though these are
his outward circumstances, he knows
the fellowship of the Lord Jesus whom
he once hated.
1. Suspected by the disciples
(v. 26). The believers at Jerusalem
had not heard fully about Saul's conversion.
They knew nothing of his sojourn
In Arabia and his preaching at
Damascus after his return, so they regarded
him as a spy. "Part of the
penalty of wrong-doing Is the difficulty
of restoration in the good opinion of
honorable men." But it is inlinitely
better to be regarded with suspicion
when genuinely true than to be trusted
as genuine wl^en a hypocrite.
2. Barnabas' confidence In Saul
(v. 27). He was a man filled with
the Holy Spirit (Acts 11 &4); therefore,
able to discern the reality of
Saul's conversion. He was In reality
i a "son of consolation," and in this
Instance showed his kindly spirit.
3. Saul in fellowship with the disciples
(v. 28). They went in and out
together. Peter received him Into bis
home, since his object In going to
Jerusalem was to see Peter (Gal. 1:18).
He abode with him 15 days.
4. saui aispuujig wm me v*ret;MiiJs
(y. 29). He was not content to merely
visit with the brethren; he spoke
boldly In the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
IV. Saul Sent to Tarsus (vv.
29b, 30).
A conspiracy similar to the one *t
Damascus was formed against Saul.
When the brethren knew of It they
sent him to Tarsus. Saul's life is In
danger everywhere except among the
Gentiles. He Is now back to the place
of his birth. The first and best place
for one's testimony is In 1.1s home.
Saul's conversion Is typical of the conversion
of the Jewish nation. Their

WELL TRIED DISHES.
' iy
When the early summer apples are
large enough they are very good served, . , <
vrlth sliced onions. Use,
wm a pint of sliced apples *s *
and one cupful of slicedonions,
doubling the
amount if the family is
L (f Jf J fond of such wholesome
i dishes. Cook the onions
I( In a little fat until they ' v
are well softened and
yellow before adding the , .
apples, sprinkle with a little flour; :
and sugar, a sprinkling of salt and -v
paprika and add a little water from
time to time, as needed. Stir and
cook until well blended. Serve around
pork chops or steak.
Fried Apples.?This dish will take a
large Arm apple which does not lose
Its shape when cooking. Wash the *
apples and core them, then slice In
rather thick slices and cook In bacop \ < i
or salt pork fat until well browned
on both sides. Sprinkle while cooking
with a very little salt and a bit of
sugar. Serve In overlapping slices
around pork chops, or sausages.
Those who have been forehanded In
sowing some mustard seed will have
the best of greens to cook or to serve
with fresh lettuce. The green mustard
cut in bitsy and added to potato
salad Is especially appetising. In fact
added to almost any vegetable combination,
it Is fine. ,
. Baked Banana*?Remove the peel
from half a dozen bananas; scrape
them to remove all coarse threads,
and lay In a well-bettered baking dlsb.
Grate the rind of an orange and half
a lemon; mix together with the juice
of each and targe-fourths of a cupful
of sugar. Poitr over the bananas, dot
with two tablespoonfuls of butter and
bake until the bananas are tender.
Unripe bananas are best for this dish,
as they keep their shape when cooked.
Spiced Carrots.?Cook until tender,
very young carrots; sprinkle with
flour, powdered clove, butter, lemoo
juice; reheat and serve with minced
fldrslej. ; i
Flemish Apples With Onions.?Slice
thinly unpeeled apples; sprinkle with
flour; add bits of butter and sugar,
and place In layers In a baking dish,
using buttered crumbs on each layer *
with a few thinly-slloed onions. Bake
