Masters, a native of Anderson County, dolivored an ad dress recently bofore the Reech Island Farmers' Club, which is worthy of re production iu our columns, aud is as follows : A review of some of the most salient points which havo boen lixed, showing the surpassing importauco of road im provement can never be out of placo in this country of ours, whero wo can make no advauco in our institutions except as we educate tho votors up to seeing the need of such advance. It is not generally kuown tbat early 10 the last century tho national gov unent for (mite a period took au iu st in and constructed public high i. Johu C. Calboun was a cham ] for the cause. The most endur i: tangible fruit of the"agitation was a 'emiidly constructed road from the A. ivtlo seaboard across the A H? gl os through Ohio, Indiana and Iliin is, to tho Mississippi. Tills road is ali.. in existouce, and has dono its share as au object lesson in favor of better roads. With tho advent of railroads and a contemporaueous linaucial panic, gov ernmental .road Improvement Jwcnt to tho wall, against which it has uestlod since, uutil recently. Vastly import ant to tho country's welfare as is tho condition of tho public highways, nover a word was spoken in a Presi dent's message until some years ngo, Mr. McKinley in four lines called at teution to tho fact that tho Secretary of Agriculture was co-operating with citi/.eus of the republic iu evory sec tion, looking to the betterment of the highways. To the efforts of Secrolary Wilson, to the growing use of tho bicycle, aud of the automobile, aud to a uatural, but slow growth of interest on tho part of tho general public may bo as cribed the present improved ita.o of tho public mind. GREAT cost ok hau i.i nu. There is gradually transpiring a greater intelligence as to the value of good roads. Government experiments show that in tho South tho average cost of hauling a ton a mile is 25 emits, tbat tho average length of haul to market is twelve and one-half miles, therefore it costs the Southern farmer on the avorugo $3.12 to haul a ton of stuff. Not content with this result,! havo questioned fnimers who have iigured out practically ihe sanio cost per mile. Now, if a farmer hauls twelve tons of stuff to oacb horse worked on the farm, and runs say a five horse farm, his hauling for tho year will cost #187, a much larger sum thau he is likely to suspect. Government calculations, based ou census reports, reveal the nstouuduig fact that tho hauling conuccled with farmiug operations costs oue-fourth the homo value of the produco raised on the farm ! AN APOSTROPHE to sandy ROADS. The value of good roads receives new light from the statement of au thenticated traction tests. On asphalt it takes a forco of only seventeen pounds to move a tou; ou macada mized, 100 pounds; on hard clay, 112 pouuds; on ordiuary dirt, 22-1 pounds; while on Baud it takes 448 pounds I Of all possible roads sand roads are the worst. Not even the morass of red mud which racks the nerves aud kills the stock of the up-country South Car olina wayfarer, for three months in midwinter, is worse than all-the-year round Aikcn sand 1 Moreover there is something to stimulate heroism in tackling an up-country hill, or an up :ountry road full of mudholes. There *an attractive novelty in tho sheer ncertainty as to whether tho next ough of mud aud wator will com etely engulf you, and there is a stim lating uncertainty as to just how hard will be to sunuouut that thirty. ? i per cent, grade on the next lull, the dead-level, mountainous, dc b?.siting, uurelonting, always hard gn..d of a sand bed is unwholesomo tor a man's feelings, killing to his stock and paralyzing to his purse. A sand bed to me represents despair. It never changes, it is always there. It always demands a tax of four hundred per cent, of surplus energy needed for something else. It is the climax of discouragement to a traveler and of prollt.destroyiug expenses to a far mer. A long haul on bau roads MEANS POVERTY, I said loose sand was tho worst pos sible road and offered statistics to . show that It is four times as hard to draw a load over sand as over hard clay. However, there is one thiug worse than a sand bed, it is a sand hill. Experiments show that it takes something more than six times the power to draw a load up a llvo and one-half per cent, grade on any sort of road than it takes to draw the same load on level roads. Now if it is four times as hard to draw a load on level sandy roads as on level hard clay it will take twenty-four times the powor to draw a load up a sand hill of live and one-half per cent, that it would take to draw the same load on good level roads. So the climax of trac tion impossiblity is reached on a sand hill I If these llgures seem fanciful to you, suppose you refresh your own memory, which points to their truth, by somo experimentation. A man who lives in the sand hills twelve miles from the market is practically out of the race with his fellow farmers in trying to put produce on the mar ket in competition with them. If yon do not believe it look at tho run down condition of, for instance, certain sec tions of Edgeflold and Alken counties which are handicapped by a long haul and bad roads to market. clay for sand roads. Sand roads are such an incubus in the county in which we reside that some special attention to their im {>iovenie.nl will be fit. The standard ocal and also the governmental ex. perimontal treatment of sand roads is simply a layer of clay. Comparatively speaking, sand roads require no drain age, they are constitutionally too dry, if they were damper they would be better. The only drainage requisite is that there be some ditches so con structed at threatened points that they will tako off any deluge of water re sultant on hard rains so that the bed of the road many not be washed down into a great gully, something very easy for a sand road to do. Local road experts tell me it will not cost more than 9100 per mile to put a layer of clay seven inches thlok across a space eight feet wide on a oad. In this community clay can al ways be und within a half mllo of the poiut where it 1? needed. If good elay roads can be construct ed for $100 or even $250 per mile, it would be a magnificent lnvoBlniout for any community with saud roads. Figures givon above show that sand is four times as hard to haul over as good clay. But say it is only twice as hard, over good clay roads twice the load could bo carried, so it would take but half tho time aud labor at half tho expense. If twelve tons aro hauled to a onc-horso farm at a cost of $2 00 per ton and there aro 200 horse farms iu a township, it would take #4,800 to do the hauling for that township. On good clay roads it would cost not over #2,400, a saviug of $2,400, which would clay 24 miles of road. Tho abovu is somowhat theoretical, I grant, but it is based on facts aud comm m souse. Though the ligures may lot bo worth much iu au exact computation of cost, they spoak loudly in showing tho presence of an evil con dition as to rural transportation, a con dition which must be remedied, else our country will fall behind more pro gressive sections which aro awakoning to tho fact that good roads pay. Good roads mean good Bchools, well attended churches, gouial neighbors, intelligent citizens. Good rouda mean valuable lands. In no case recorded has the uccrumont iu the value of lands failed to more than covor tho cost of road improvement! Good roads mean that the towns will no lotiger deplete the couutry of many of its best citizens; ihoy mean rural free mail delivery. If all other planks were knocked out of the party platform iu South Carolina for the next ton yeats and a good broad plank look ing to road improvement was insorted, it would bo hotter for every commuuity in South Carolina, albeit fewer axes of politicians would be ground and fewer prejudices of voters would bo aroused to such a pitch as to become "interest* iug." FROM A BACHELOR'S VIEW. About tho only time anybody has use for red hair is in a light. Tho bride fails to observe her hus band's cloven lriof uutil after she gots a whiff of his clovon breath. The average husband is so good a disciplinarian that hocau train his wife to have absolute control over him. Tho way to get solid with a woman when she has three callers in one aftot noon is to speak of it as a reception. A woman's dread is not so much bo coming a mother-in-law as reaching the very next stago the?grandmother; Other pooplo sow the wind and we reap the whirlwind. You can tell a married man at a summer resort by the way ho protends not to be. When a woman makes love to a man it is a sign bo is goiug to get away from her unless bome of her male relatives stop in. Ono member can begin an argument, but the whole family can't end it. No man can keep on being a sinner without the money to support his sinning. Wo beg to call attention to the advertise ment of the Medical Collc^o of Virginia, Which appears in another column.

Along with this Hood tide of prosperity came the educa tional institutions, the dissemination of of knowledge, culture and rcflnemont. Tho up country has always been the mecca to which tho peoplo of tho low lands in tho eastern and southern por tions of tho State turn their stops in the summer to esc&po tho malaria provalont in those sections, and the names of many of the old and familiar watering places aro household words But 'tis said tho best is always saved until tho last. It was loft for Harris?tho only "Jim" Harris to discover and utilize the host health giving water, not only in the State, but ncrhapB in tho South. White Stono Lithia springs are only ono and a half miles from Rich Hill, a station on tho Southern railway seven miles from Spartanburg and 20 from Union. Formerly it was known as " Kirby spring" and although in a general way it has for yoars been known simply as a " lino spring" by the natives, and bene ficial results wero obtained by drinking its waters, its truo medicinal qualities wero novor known until tho property passed into Harris' hands and an analysis Was made. Tho water abounds in sodium chlo ride, lithium, sodium magnesium and iron bicarhonatos; iron, potasium sodium, calcium and lithium sulphates Also alumina and silica. It is considered a vory pure mineral wator.and containing lithium salts makes it a va'uahlo water medicinally. 7uk location. Those colobrated springs will be con nected with Rich Hill by a railway, the roadbed of which Is now all graded and tho work Is noaring complotion. Tho distanco is only a mllo and a half. whitk stonb mtiita STRINGS. Tho springs aro surrounded by high hills whoso summits riso In somo places to a porpondicular almost a hundred feet. The stream iuts out of a Assure in a massive rock which towers high above it. An inch pipe has been injected into the rock through which the cool sparkl ing wator flows, rising to an elevation of four feet. The outpour is at least two gallons a minute. Tho natural pressure is po great that if tho piping was "reduced" to a fourth of an inch tho stroam would rise to a height of 80 or 40 feet. This is remark able in the mountainous up country and is said to be the only ono of its kind yet discovered. TUB HOTTI.ma WORKS. Fifty yards below the spring has been erected a neat and picturesque brick building, 30x40, where the water is bot tled, plain and carbonated, and shipped to all parts of tho United States. The wator has already obtained a wide repu ? tatlon and the daily shipment now amounts to from $150 to $200. It is claimed that on account of the softness and lightness of tbe water it retains its gas longer than any other mineral water on the market. This has been already tested, and hence ATTENTION To physical warnings win often prevent a serious illness. When there are oppressive fullness after eating, bitter risings, belching, headache, db.sl ness, nervousness, with physical and mental slug gisuness, prompt atten tion should be given to " the condition of tue diges tive and nutritive sys tems. Not all these symptoms will occur at once or in any single case, but any one of them indicates a disordered Condition of the stomach and other organs of diges tion and nutrition. A prompt cure of these conditions will be effected by the timely use of Dr. Pterce's Golden Medical Discovery.

He was also in numerous other fights and skirmishes. This is a record which speaks for Itself. FIGHTING: THE NEGRO. From 187(3 to 188-1 Col. Elliot was county chairman of Beaufort County. In 1884 It became necessary to make a fight in the Seventh Congressional District against tho negroes. The Domocratlo candidate had to bo popu lar, foarloss and a constant fighter. William Elilott was ohosen, mado a most ngpresslvo campaign, but was de feated, in 188o ho was again opposed in the election to Robert Smalls, and Col. Elliott was elected. Rioting oc curred constantly in the eleotions, and the procinot managere at Hilton Road and St. Helena wore mobbed by tho nogroos, who had becomo most Inso lent. Smalls contested tho eloctlon. This meant that testimony as to tho fairness of tho election had to be takon during three months In every county of the district at the same time. Then printed arguments, compiled from tho 1,000 or more printed pages of testi mony, had to bo filod with the commit tee of elections, then argued before them, and. finally fought out on tho floor of tho house. Colonel Elliott won the contest. From then to tho present tlmo ho has had tho following fights with ne gro candidates, in each Instance a con tested election following the eloctlon. In 1888 and 185)0 with Tom Miller, In the latter case Miller was seated bv Reed's Congress; In 1804, 1800 and 1808 with George W Murray, In tho first of which contests Murray was soated and Col. Elliott unseated, and In 1000 with Beckett, a negro preacher. Thus, after olghteon years of rolont Iobs, laborious and expensive lighting, Colonel Filllott reclaimed tho district composed of the coast counties from negro rule, and now has an uncontest ed seat in Congress for tho first tlmo. Col. I'', llott is today a poorer man than ho was in 1884. HIS WORK IN CONGRESS. H is an axiom in Congress that a man with a contest can accomplish lit tle for his district. Yet, despite six teen years of contested elections, what I Colonel Klliott has accomplished for I his district and State equals tho work of any member of Congress In tho Unit ed States. 1 mention but some of his larger works of a material kind: He had passed tho amendment to the direct tax refunding act, appropriating $600, 000 to reimburse the poople of Beau fort for a part of their losses under the direct tax aot of Congress, passed dur ing the war. In order that the money should not be wasted In exorbitant fees he volunteered to do, and did, all the legal work necessary to seoure the same from tho treasury, taking all the testimony, thereby saving his people thousands of dollars In expenses. Be procured an appropriation of $500,000 to build a dry dook at Port Koyal, aud baa assisted In procuring hundreds of thousands of dollars In Im proving the place. Be obtained appropriations of about $2 500,000 to deepen tho bar of Wlnyah Bay, thereby affording an outiet to tho ocean to tho following rivers: Wacca maw, Lumber, Great Pee Deo, Little Pee Dee, Clark, Lynch, Mlngo, Black, Watoree, Congaree, Santeo and the Samplt, and has gotten numerous ap propriations for thoso rivers. Be had established In Charleston a now light bouse depot at a cost of 8H?, 000; bad the first garrison ordered to Charleston; was most Active In getting tho appropriation fcr building fino quarters on Sullivan': Island; procured $40,o00 for a public building at George town, and secured from a hostile House $!IO,000 for the Charleston exposition, and at various tiroes he has prooured over $.'100,000 of appropriations for Charleston harbor, and after years of work, $;t0,000 to improve Inland naviga tion botwoen Beaufort and Charleston, and helped to obtain $50,000 to Improve the Inland route north of Charleston. FIRST TRUST KKiHTKR. Colonel Mlliott was tho first man In public lifo in this Stato to advise the farmnrs to combino againBt the cotton bagging trust, a movement which final ly resulted in the defoat of that trust. Ho Ih a prominent member of the ju diciary eommltteo, one of the m ist Im portant and Intluuntlal commlitoos of the House. If Colonel Klliott is sent to tho Son ate the State of South Carolina will have a Senator whose life Is without a blemish, whoso political record of twenty odd years Is unspotted, whose service In war was long and couspleu I ous, and, above all, a seasoned and well trained legislator, whose accurni lined experience, of Blxtoen years In Congress will be an asset to thn Hint.", which It would tako years for a new man to acqulro.

It has done more for me than any water I have ever tried. Koryears l have suffered al times with tho passage of Urin Acid calculi, ami have tried a number of celebrated mineral waters among them Buffalo l.ithia Water,Tale. Capon Springs, and Wanke- ha itethesda, having spcnl two months each sum mer for eight successive summers. While I was Homewhat benolltlcd, I can Bafely state that I find no comparison In Ihc action of While Stone Litliia Water, for in it 1 lind ih it they aid powerfully on my kidneys, clearing up the urine and in thoroughly washing ineiii out. when I drink White Stone l.ithia Water in BUttictent quantities. If what I harnod from my doctors is true about Hooding tho kidneys 'heu I can see no reason why I should sutler any more with llric Acid calculi or the fearful attacks of renal colic. As long as I can get it, will try no other water but White Slonc Lithia. Yours respectfully, Kkv. John T. McHhvmb, D.D. Pastor Presbyterian church of Spartanburg.
