Rev. Viotor I. 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

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.

of Agriculture was co-operating with

of the automobile, aud to a uatural,

part of tho general public may bo as

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

A woman's dread is not so much bo

Other pooplo sow the wind and we

You can tell a married man at a

When a woman makes love to a

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

Water, and I now most earnestly commend it to any one trou
bled with any kidney disease. 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.
