FIVE-COUNTY GOOD ROADSJROMOTERS Enthusiastic Meeting Held Here Wednesday Night FORM ASSOCIATION <ipt. Smyth Elected President- -Pur pose Is To Mot Decent Uighnii/ r. cm Colriniblu to Greenville* Tim- capilal-to-county crusade for good roads was materially advanced by a mass meeting held here Wednes day nlghl at which representatives from Rlehland, Lexington, Newberry, Laurens and Qrconvlllo counties cou fored and discussed ways and means lor the construction and maintenance of n decent highway connecting Green nnd Columbia. Messrs. w. c. Sirrlne ami C. 0, Al len drove down from Greenville and Dr. L. M. Whaley, the pood roads dy namo, came up from the lower end to report conditions as I hey are at | res ent. Supervisor Lungford of Lexing ton county sent a communication In Which he pledged his best efforts to wards preparing tho twenty-live miles through ids county. Solicitor It. A. Cooper of Laurens was elected chairman of the confer ence, and s. |<j. Itonoy secretary. In the twenty or more present from Lau rens were .1. Adger Smyth. Jr., Clerk of Court .lohn F. Uolt, Mayor C. M. Ilabb, Dr. IL K. Aiketi. Supervisor IL Hnscom Huinlierl and others who are lutorested in the building of at least oho good road through the county to Mai! With, Uftor Which it is believed the object lesson will result in tho construction of more miles. When these links tire joined up Greenville end Columbia v. ill he connected with each other, besides affording the cit izons of each county a good rood to their respective county seats. Dr. Whaley reported Ulohland's section i s already completed from the Broad liver bridge into the city. The agi tation for a free bridge has resulted in a reduction of the toll of 7". cents formerly demanded, to one of l"> cents at present. The delegates expected from Newberry wore unable to teach here, hill sent assurances of co-opera tion. Capt. .1. Adger Smyth, dr.. who rsis the roads as much or mote than any man in South Carolina, made a strong plea for concert of action. He narrated some truthful hut amusing experiences of a traveler who has to ( find the roads from Charleston, say, to anywhere in the upper country, due to the absence of sign boards, and showed that all travel In these direc tions are of necessity obliged to pass through Laurens county. Mr. Allen of Greenville said he was not the owner of an automobile but he did use a horse and buggy a great deal , and a good road would be for the equal benefit and use of all forms of conveyance. He. as well as till the other speakers, urged the necessity of replacing the markers of all main roads in every county. There Is more travel between counties today than in past years when the cross ('rp.'id signs were kept up. Mr. W. 0, Shrine of Greenville pointed out the many things a county supervisor was expected to do ami that the office work required of him rendered It impossi ble for these officers to spend as much time directing fie actual work of road making its they would till like to give. Rnch county needed an experienced rond-mnkor, whether or not he be a Civil engineer, to stay with the hands out t:i the sun This meeting determined lo organ ize the live Counties named in tilt as K0C int toll of Which Mr. Smyth was elected president null he was author ized to ftppoilil an executive commit tee composed of one member for each of the others, it Is designed to travel up and down the line, holding meet ings, B0CUMug subscriptions from till Communities and turning over stich fund; to the supervisors to he ex pended by them.

The camel, at the close of day, Kneels down upon the sandy plain, To have his burden lifted off And rest to gain. My soul, thou, too, shottldst to thy knees When daylight draweth to a close, And let thy Master lift the load And grant repose. Klse how couldst thou to-morrow meet. With all to-morrow's work to do, If thou thy burden all the night Didst cary through? The camel kneels at break of day To have his gjtidc replace his load; Then rises up anew to take The desert road. So thou shottldst knoel at morning's dawn That Oed 11.ay give thee dally care. Assured that He no lond tr.o great Will make tl.ee hear. OUT Mr. S. M.

Richmond, Vd. C Talk Myopia of the Eye Myopia means near sight. When an eye is myopic or near sighted the object looked at does not focus on the nerve, the focus Is in front of the nerve, the eyeball, therefore is too long. Now, as we cannot chango the shape of the eyeball, we put in front of it a concave lens. This kind of a glass has the property of putting the focus back to the nerve. Myopic persons hold reading close to the eyes, objects at a distance being dim. Vision is certainly the most important of the senses, therefore a word to the wise should suffice.
