* 'ON GOOD ROADS. * * *.* * * 9** * E ditor' The Advertiser: The bonds for public roads, permtan-, ent improvemiient or any other reason able proposition to get permanent roads has been talked about by all classes of our people and the conclu 1on is that mdst anything is better than what we have now. In the sum mer the fresh clay and dirt is scraped to the middle of the road so that the road is soft and hard to'1pull through luntil light rains come and help mat ters a litte by packing It down. When the winter rains set in the whole r'oad turns to mud and the holes that were 4)artly filled up with clay in the sum Wier are almost impassabe.' So we thhiiik that if the good part of the roads -arc let alone and rocks or san4 put in the holes and wet, soggy places we would get good roads all the way. It hs believed by a great many people that all of these bad places could be tilxed In one year with rock, sand, tigles, brush and top soil on as a fIn Ish. IlJoping we will have gooa roads all the way across the county as well as from town to town, I am, Yours truly, ). R. Crawford, Mountville, S. C., lIt. 2. DON'T SCOLD, MOTHER!

Inl Favor of Boond 1s.41. F-!itor The Advertiser: I w.nt t- ra ha am hea~trt- Ill favor of Issuing collpol bonds for the sum of 'lhree Hundred Thousand Dol laws ($300,000) for permanent road improvement in Laurens county. I ithink it will be the greatest improve iment we have had since the day the old fence law went into effect. I heartily endorse good roads and anything pertaining to the upbuild .ing and betterment of our public af fairs. You say our adjoining coun-' ties are .building permanent roads. Sure they are-not only our adjoin ing counties, but counties beyond coulnties andl states beyond states hav'e already seen the henefit and advan tage of good roads. I live in the country and am uroud of It. I am pr~oudh I live In Laurens county. Now, any fellow countrymli, we have this opplortulnity to make -this great 11m -provement. If we vote it down't, it will .be our own loss. This is for us, if we can only' see it in the right way. This money will be spent ini the country on1 'thie country roads. Not a dollar wvill be splent inaide the incorporated limits of any town. Yet, the towvn peop~le ar~e niot kicking. They want us to have -it. With all their wealth and valua ilde property' they are ready to help us ~to make thjis necessary improvement. tryhey want us to have a better wa'y to come to see them. We have been go -ing and will continue to go. WVhy not grasp) this opportunity and have a bet Iter way to go? WVhy, the factories, 'railr'oads, banks and many other cor' porations pay the best part or ,this ptax. Therefore what we pay will he a ; very small item. A few (lays ago I heard a mian say i.hat he would not vote for the bond is 'sue. isomie one asked, "Why?" '"De c'ause it will make taxes higher." At a pretty close calculation it will in crease hIs taxes 26 cents. Yet ho us es'thie plihc roadis just as much ais an~ybodly andl sometimes a little too ingeh, not realizing that he could save the 2(1 Cents in hauling of one or two 'loads of fertilizer. Sonme say we are makIngsa dIebf for (ourl children to pay. Well, If we are, let us build some roads for them and not raise them in the mud holes and uiand-bars. I ami aurel' whent this comn ing generation comes .to manhood, that they will not tolerate the roads that we now owtC With their good uichools and fine education, they will see the necessity of good roads, and 'they will have thorn to build and also 'to- pay for. Why not let us 'build them now and let us and them too e the* boneflt of thyem'? Well, some of. bur' good; .brethren say, "It is Ino time'now to vote on bond" Let me tell you, if we sit down and wait for wars, railroad strikes, mad dogs and every other eruption to pass and things become quiet, we will be wait ing when Gabriel blows .for us. Our represontaltves want it. They have been so klhd as to lot us voice with them; so let us say "YES, WE WANT IT" and then we will get it. L. Z. Wilson, Gray Court, S. C. March 19, 1917.

To explain, just thirty-eight years ago I began the practice.of med leine, ewtending over parts of Dials .and Sullivan townships, and. for the above number of years I have almost raily been using the roads inI this part of the coutity, witter an1td tsummt1ter, fall and spriig. fromt stifiing it the (ist to knieo-deep In the itmud, in tle dark hontrs of 'the nigit to the biistering nth eat ef aIt A uguist itid-day.

Again kind reader, did you ever walk, ride horse-back, In buggy, or automobile on one of those top-soil roads? If not, let me try to tell you. Soime time ago I was called to see a patientt utp near Simpsonville, Greenville county,' at a time when all! 'n-imiproved roads vere almost im passalle even with horse and buggy. I hadn't been iII that section in quite a while, but I was well acqatinted with one section of ithe road known to be bad, even in ordinary bad weather.

A omtto thtat every farmer In the (3outh shounId ado'pt is, "A legunjo grop for every acre every year." "Blut htow is tils possible," you ask, "if we are to continued to grow our big crops of corn and oats and cotton ?" 'le answer is that not onlf can we continueO to grow our regular staple eiops, but by planting a legume crop On every acre every year, we can krow bigger and better grain aiP.cot ton crops than ever before, and grow tlhemu at a greater net profit. Let's see: 1. In the fist piace, every cotton middle in the South, regardless of the rop to be planted the following year, should be planted to crimson elover in the fal. It wil cover and cnrich tile land during the witer and .be plowed under in the spring. We know of no Iuicker, surer or more economical way than this to double the yield of eeding crops. 2. 1Ivery field of corn in the South sIhotild it tile same time 'be growing a c:op of rowpas, velvet beans or'pea nuis.
