This water stays on the road surface because it cannot drain away into the side ditch es. If you look closely you will see side ditches which have grown up with hushes and weeds in many cases, and whch are so far from tho traveled part of the road that the rain water does not drain into them. That part of the roadway where the wagons travel is called the traveled way. To prevent water from standing on the traveled way the road should he rais ed in the center and should slope gent ly into hroad shallow ditches. It is then said to have a crown. If it is 10 feet from the center of the road to the side ditch, the surface at the side ditch should he at least 10 inches lower than it is at the center where the horses travel. The road then has a 10-Inch crown. The rain that falls on a road properly crowned will run quickly to the side and not soak into the surface or form pools. The side ditches for suface water should run parallel to the right of way, and should be oven at every low point so that the water can run out of thorn Into neighboring brooks and streams. If the ditches merely collect the wa ter from tho road surface and it can not run away, large pools will be formed along the roadside, which will gradually soak into the soil beneath the road and make it so soft that the wheels of wagons will cut through the road surface and soon destroy it. Smetimes water runs fiom land along the road into the road and forms a little Stream down the wheel tracks or In the middle where the horses travel. When driveways into farm yards are built across the Bide ditch es they frequently form channels for water from the farm yard to run into the road. The pipes under driveways become filled with leaves of rubbish and the water can no longer run away. If the driveways that, stop the ditch water were rebuilt so that no pipes were necessary and tho ditch could be left open, much trouble from surface water would be stopped. Sometimes a road runs across low ground or through a swamp where the road can not be drained by side ditch es alone. If the road were built high er like a railroad embankment across such low land and made with a crown, it would be dry and hard. Sometimes a road passes through what is called a cut. This is a place where the earth has been dug out. so that the road cas go over a hill without being too steep. The water which always Hows quietly under the ground on hill sides is known as ground water. In road cuts such water sometimes manes the road very muddy, and tin; road then needs what road builders call underdrainage. A good kind of under drainage is a trench to go along un der the side drain and about 3 feet Madden, June IG.?Mrs. .1. L. Bass and children, of Hartsville, have re turned from a visit to her relatives near Holly Grove. Mr. and Mrs. Calcutt, of Augusta, visited the latter's parents Saturday night and Sunday. Mrs Calcutt is pleasantly remembered as Miss Ten nio Madden and this is her first visit to home folks since her marriage, which was a surprise to her friesds here, in Augusta three weeks ago. Her friends and acquaintances wish for her many joys in her wedded life. The thresher of Messrs. Hall and Armstrong came into this community Thursday, last. The oat crop through here was especially good. The oats of Mr. J. A. YVofford, which the Adver tiser commented some weeks ago, turned out about 65 bushels per acre. The trustees of New Prospect have elected Miss Aiken as teacher In place of Miss Turner. No announcement has been made whether or not Miss Alken will accept. . The many friends of .Mrs. \V T. Alli son and Mr\ Mol lie Teague, will be glad to hear that they are greatly es joylng their trip to Mr*. Wright, of Knrooe and Mrs. Larry Martin, of Spartanburg. Mrs. J. A. Woffonl had a pleasant call Saturday a f tor noon at the home of Mrs. Rosalie Sullivan. While there sho had the very great pleasure of shaking hands with her school mates of Flosodalo days. Mcsdamfts Bd. Burn* sides, of Greenwood and Kd. Milam, of Cold Point. The friends of Mr. .John Sullivan will regret to hoar that he is now confined to his bed on account of a fall re ceived six weeks ago. 'The boy.; who wore tho gray" will be Krieved to hoar that their old comrade is now prac tically helpless Undo John PInley, who has been deep and a foot and a half wide. In this trench a pipe is laid near the bottom and covered with loose stones no bigger than an egg. When the trench is completely tilled with loose stones the ground water, instead of soaking into the roadway will Btop among the stones and bow down the hill through the pipe. To keep a road smooth and crowned the best method is to drag it witlt a road drag. A road drag is made easi ly witlt two halves of a log which lias been split. The log should be about (; or S incites In thickness and about Ii or S feet long. The two halves of the log are set :> feet apart with the smooth faces forward and upright. They are then fastened together with braces set in holes bored through the log. A pair of horses may be used to drag the road and are hitched to a chain fastened to the front half of the log. The road drag should move forward so that it slants across the road in such a way that a small amount of earth will slide past the smooth face of the log toward the center of the road thus forming the crown. Tho edges of the logs will smooth out the ruts. The best way to drag is to begin at the side ditch and go up one side of the road, and then down the other. In the next trip the drag should be started a little nearer the center and the last trip over the road the drag may work close to the center Itself. Small ridges of earth will be thrown in the horse track and smeared by the round side of the log smoothly over the road. The smearing of tho earth by the drag is called "puddling" and it (ends to make the surface of tho road smooth and watertight titter the sun comes out. The road is always dragged al ter it lias rained and not when it is dry. A good, strong pair of horses with a well-built drag can drag abut 3 or I miles of road in a day, and it is tho best way to maintain good roads In every county some fanner along each 'I milt's of road should own a drag and drag the road when it rains, and he would always find the road is good condition when he goes to mar ket. Owing to the fact that many rural schools were closed at the time when the prize maintenance essay was an nounced by Director Ix>gan Waller Page of the Office of Public Roads, it lias been decided to extend tho limit for receiving the essays to October 15, 1013, In addition to the gold medal given as first prize, two silver medals will be given its second and third prizes. If a child who has submitted one essay previous to the issue of this notice should care to try auric, lie is at liberty to do so. but let: he must be a pupil of a rural school.
