M.

S. 25 via Edge- field and which, incidentally, will serve Augusta in many ways, for the people of the western section of McCormick, of Abbeville and An derson counties will have ready ac cess to Augusta over a paved high way. The fact that former Highway Oommissioner John R. Phillips said at the dedication of the Furey’s ferry bridge that Georgia would be ready to pave on her side of the river just as soon as South Caro lina began should hot be charged against Mr. Phillips, for he meant what he said. It has taken South Carolina a considerable time to get around to the paving of the last stretch of the highway and Mr. Phillips is out of office, but we are confident Capt. J. W. Barnett, chairman, and Commissioner J. D. Wilhoit. of the middle division, will agree promptly to go forward with the work. the heaviest content of iodine, which within itself is the greatest foe to the goiter.

X LAND VALUES WILL COME BACK present generation could get their hands on some of the modem youngsters for an hour or so. What a revelation it would be.

The June slaughter was slightly larger than that of last year but 13.5 per cent less than the five-year June aver age.

More anarchists and crim inals are being made in the homes of the country than in the slums and dives of New York and Chicago. If ever there was need for a cry to be sounded from the housetops may start moving a little earlier than last fall; but, if the July 1 estimate of corn production ma terializes, feed will be plentiful and hogs may be fed somewhat longer.
