The 1 cotton mills in the up-country are par- i dcularly interested in the objects of t .he convention, though of course such .. cities as Charleston, Georgetown, Savannah. Wilmington, Augusta. Columbia and the like will not get the greatest benefit, as their advantages will come direct.

Columbia, Special.?The smallpox situation in this State is daily becoming more alarming, and Columbia 1b one of the points where conditions are most serious. The health board's physician, Dr. D. S. Pope, branded as false the statement given out from the recent meeting of the State board of health that there are over 50 cases in Columbia; he says the local health authorities have been able to discoved but six cases, and that since the recent epidemic started six weeks ago not a case nas oeen Known to originate ?um any ease the board had charge of here, that all of the cases have come from the outside. He said, however, that the present type was the most virulent he had ever come in contact with. In six weeks out of only 18 cases there have been six deaths, three whfte and three colored. This is a death percentage of 33 1-3, whereas Secretary .Evans, of the State board, considered a record for the State of 3V? per cent, since the 1st of January extremely alarming. Dr. Pope 6aid that all cases were being treated in the pest house, barring one or two isolated cases which were being carefully guarded. The deaths of the three ladies were to be deeply regretted, but these ladies could not be removed to the pest house for treatment. He considered the situation well in band, if the authorities could shut off the cases coming into the town from other places. The board is now, he 3aid, caring for half a dozen cases several miles from the town. Although the board was not responsible for these aut-of-town oases It preferred to treat them In self-defence. Every physician in the town is vaccinating. Dr. Pope sstimates that there have been over 2,)00 vaccinations within the past six weeks, he himself has performed over a thousand of these operations in that time. Over two-thirds of the town, according to Dr. Pope, had been successfully vaccinated before the epidemic started. Stock Firm Suspends. New York. Special ?The suspension >f Frederick F.

Jg of this country has the O O question of road improveX K nient been so widely and TfOlr enthusiastically discussed as at the present time. In the crystal 1zuwon 01 puuwc scuiiuicui iui iuk uviterraent of our highways, the office of Public Road Inquiries, at Washington, has proven a most important factor. This work is being accomplished by collating and disseminating information. publishing and distributing literature on the subject, testing road building materials, and in co-operating with other allied forces of construe* tion of object lesson roads lu various sections of the country. Thfe interest manifested in this question is by no means coniined to those within the rural districts, who are supposed to be the greater beneficiaries, but all classes of our citizens are directly or Indirectly interested in this great moveinen*-. and therefore should be free to express their opinions and lend their assistance wherever opportunities present themselves. In this age of enlightenment and progress all agree that it is necessary to adopt other and mere modern methods of improving our highways than the primitive method of "warulug out the hands"?male citizens between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years in proximity to the road to be Jmnuftrn/1 TMo Tina nrnvon pr.tipplr tnn effective, especially with the rapidly increasing population of the country and the constantly increasing volume of traffic on the roud. Were every person liable to duty to work wltj) pick and shovel a few days annually, as required by law, but little more could be accomplished than to till the worst chuck holes, and by so doing ease their conscience and relieve the overseers of the embarrassment cf being indicted in the county court. No system of working roads is a just one if labor is compelled to bear the entire burden of the cost and at the same time property enjoy equal benefits by Its enhancement in value. As previously stated, money Is the necessary requisite for the improve ment of our common highways, but the perplexing problem with our people is "how to get it." Day by day the public is becoming more enthusiastic upon the question as they study it in its various phases, and are of the opinion that, as the roads are a benefit to all, the burden of cost of their construction and maintenance should be born by all. There are various ways by which this may be done, but like the accomplishment of all great movements, the co-operation of all allied forces is essential. Within the past few years many States have enacted laws and appropriated money for the improvement of the common roads ot the country' and many counties have issued bonds for the same purpose, with equally good results. Funds for this purpose have aiso been raised by direct taxation atid by individual subscription, bnt the limited amount collected is generally too small to scarcely make a beginning on the grea; nuu> ber of reads to be improved. Miexlim Koari*. In the construction of a road in any fcind of soil it is essential to properly locate, grade and drain before surfacing and rolling, if the best results are to be obtained. Good materials are equally essential, but often, however, it pays better to use an inferior material found in the locality, if a more desirable quality cannot be secured from a distance. The system of constructing macadam roads upon modern and scientific principles is considered superior to others, although more expensive. The macadam road built of crushed chert, trap rock or good limestone, will endure the ordinary volume of traffic almost an indefinite period of time with but little additional cost cf repairs, especially if only wide tires are used, as wide tires arc road makers and narrow tires are road breakers. Any material that will resist wear, and has sufficient cementing qualities to render the roadbed impervious to water, is desirable. Either gravel, mixture of clay and sand, or mineral oil, when properly applied, make a less expensive and at the same time a most excellent road, when loca conditions are favorable. The use of first-class machinery is also indispensable to successful road building. The county authorities could make no better Investment than to purchase a complete plant of the very best road building machinery. Popularity of National Aid. No internal improvements would more maierinny oeiieai xue rouuirj <u large than good roads. No section of the country is more enthusiastic for good roads than the South, and as her people seldom receive assistance in any way from the National Treasury that method that might be adopted for general internal improvements. It is gratifying to know that this cause meets the approval of the Southern delegations in Congress, particularly the entire delegation from North Carolina. One of the best speeches made on the good roads question during the last session of Congress was by Representative Gudger, of the Tenth (or mountain) District of the Old North State. It is becoming quite evident to the minds of our solons that in order to secure re-election it behooves them to get in line for better roads. This gigantic movement for better roads is by the people, and the wishes of the people should, and must, be grouted. V 'i - . > . .
