The fLegislature of South Carolina last n1ht listened to tan enjoyable and much otnjoyed common sen-se talk on the subject of good roandzL. This themo did not oecup y the entire time of L'rof. k J. A. Holmes, of the University of L North Carolina and State geologst, butI ho referred briefly to many !ateit resources which tshould )J developedl, foa'ered and maintained. Mr. Holmes is a native of SiutLh Car olina, and though a young man, is among the foremoht of those who are devoting time and brain to the up building of the South in tho develop ment of natural riches. 1io is a self made man, and the most forciblo illus tration of the Cost, of bad roads which he 118ed lasw, ught Ws18 tiken from it i own..1 life. Hi rcelted how when a b.oy no had made three bale of cotton to iaid in obtaining an educatian. To hatil that cotton from Liurens to Nowberry i cost him $15, and conntmed live days, on account of the horrihe rod*-as much ien exes -( a4 a t tri 1a' Ne w Yori on the cars. M. .lolmes be 2an his lectute by re ferring to the splend id groth of South Carilia ain he cottoo mi ill i dustries, an( illutrated with hit, stere OpJtiCont the waiter power If l'zo' and of the Coluinhia c raial.

Forestry wais b.iautifudly i llustrated and ably discussed. tie hovt d on the can vas the spliidih p no forsLs of North Carolina in their virgin state, and deplored the fat. tlhat this great source of revenue wiel Iar'ly cxtirtLa on account of fortst Tiir. Te loss tL North Carolina had be-a $1,000,000 an nually on tils atcumnt. South Caro lina's ptno forests arc not so much ruined. The causes of th is devantation a( sometim's ct' rnu'>s and SOmtie i0tmes cu ettsed nese, and in North Cro lini the fore-ts hav .o cn killed, the se0d gerns .:stroy- i and the land made a desert 1 thee tires. 113 ap pealed to the 1,g iulare to throw saft - guards a,ound Lhe pino forests and also to protect the tum and the cypress in the swamps w hero the land b bing sold to fore ii li 1umbering corp )ration)e for a pittance. Ho speke (if the grood which the bu rcau of geoi' gical survey was elfectine it causing diversity of farming in-. North Cairolina. andi sAid that tiue farm ors were not comtiplainig of the Cost of this hureau, for it had brought $10,. 000000 (if foreil capital Into the State tatd had hl)ed the farmers to pracettce eenomy. There is no use, he said, for South Carolina to try to get atppropoiations frm Congress to help in such work unlc s hie State does something itself. Our r-;resentatives in Congresi are cryinz " paternalis,n I'lu mad, and the wt zia and eaisI urn mien tire saying, " giv - us appro priations for our wat.! I ;icos and we will do somethinag ourselves." lie then came Lo the subject upon which he was to address the general asse iioly i)y invitation--goo roads. i ie laid down the preposition that those people who have not good roads aire paying a "' mud, sand and hill tax."i and for this they get nto benefit. Ni creatuare itn the anim-il or vegetable k ingdotm Is beneliled by bad roads, not even La1,adpole, fot' they die in dry weather. 1%-em lettors written to 10,000 (arm-iers, he Ihad been able to esti m'te that the "'mud tax " has cost North Ca ro inta $i0,000O,000 yearly, and the cost in South Carolina is halt as gtreait. W~ith his eteroopite',n he showed how in othotr sections of Li iicountry hills were graded, and the troads mnade stmooth and litrm. ia California convict labor is used Lu prep~are the mnacadm at a cost of about :5 cents a d-ry, against 75 eemnts inr North Carolina totr fr'ee labor. He~ so gestedi thatt a State rock crushing plaint could be estab~ lshed aut or in con nection wvith the South Crtol ina penitentiairy and by convict labor' the eo-st, reduced to a minimum. T1he counties could air tange with the taih'roads for a nominal iat od f ~transportLatun. Trhe poorer countIes mtight say that it, was very well for Grecenville, Spartanbutrg An derson, etc., to undettake this work, but they thtemselvesi co~uld tnt. i'r'of, oloames sa'.d there was aus m uclh con, mton senses Itt that statemet as there ijuldl b: in the plaint of a country merrchanit Lbhat he could( not keen hh, store open becaus ho was not able to do as tmutcit busi ness as a w holesale s tore int Coleumibiat. lie aidvised moderation antd coin n sense in the iutdertak ing. S:2me sec L:ons do not need as mnuern expense as osthers. lie then comin Imernted the roads of Richlandl County leading out of Columbiai. The county supervisor I had aiceomplished, so casily that he hard-uly realized the value of. his wvork, the building of roadis that are as easily traveled as those celebrated roads of Mecklenburg County, N .rt~h Carolina, aind aut a cost of $100 peir mile, while the latter had expended $3,000 a mnie. He urgedl the Legislatture to advise their i)eopie to experment with sand mind clay, mixed to the proper consistenjy. He eould give no formula as to the comiposition, tas clay differs in the sev oral sections of the State. Buit ordli narily a saind road for a basis, wIth a surface of four inches of clay, is thre proper consIstency. In thte laying of macadam he urged system. 'rho substr'ata of larger' rock should be carefully paicked, and it Is economty to have heavy rollersi. IEach upper stratum should b3 packed on caretful ly.
