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

elected president null he was author
ized to ftppoilil an executive commit

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

PR. JACOBS IS GRATEFUL*
He I* Considered Out of J>ungcr,
Though Entirely Helpless.
Clinton. Aug. 29.?Dr. W. P. Jacobs
requests ttiat his thanks bo conveyed
; through tho press, to the hundreds
who have Inquired about bis condition
and sent letters or telegrams express
ive of their Interest and concern since
his recent accident. He has beon
deeply touched by the display of affec
tion not only by his friends but by
numbers of entire strangors. His con
dition and the urgency of other mat
ters on his olllce helpers have prevent
ed that personal reply to each which
he would have been glad to ?ive.
Mthough he Is entirely helpless and
requires constant attention, bis condi
tion is no longer regarded as serious.
For some days there were strong In
dications of internal injuries and of
nervous derangement from the shock,
but these bad symptoms have happily
disappeared and there is every reason i
to expect his complete recovery in
time. lie will he able to leave his
bed in a short time. The bandages
will be removed in October and he
hopes to resume his preaching within
a couple of months. That will de
pend on the ease with which the bones
knit in the shoulder and the rapidity
with which the system recovers from
the shock.
With characteristic energy he has
already begun to ti eel the more ur
gent business of the Institution from
ills bed and has deputed a number of
matters to responsible people. Mr.
.1. A. Dnlley, treasurer of the orphan
age, is taking charge of the business.
The heads of the various departments
of labor ami instruction are doing
their best to keep the machinery run
ning steadily. There could not well
have been a worse time for the head
??f the orphnnnge to he stocken down.
Everything starts fresh here on the
first of September. New officers, ma
tron-, teachers und children are to be
received and initiated. All Importen!
changes are made in methods of work,
assignments of labor and so forth.
However, everything is running very
smoothly and there is no reason for
the friends of the orphnnnge to be
alarmed. In fact this is their oppor
tunity to stand by it as never before.

A Lesson From the CumrJ.
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.

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. Visit my
office and learn more about cor
recting imperfect sight.
