A M YSTERIOUS TRAGEDY. Bonne'ttsville Lads Oat Hanting Vrand Dead In Pee Dee Swamp. On Thanksgiving day two boys, Gny Rogers, aged 14 years, a son of County Treasurer N B Rogers, of Marlboro county, and Pren- J tiss Moore, a son of Mrs Wiley E Moore,went on a hunting trip into Pee Dee swamp, which is several miles vide and many miles long. The boys failed to return and searching parties scoured the swamp Thursday night and all day Friday and Friday night. Saturday morning about 10 o'clock the dead bodies of the two THa hnvs had 18QS Wtric ivuuu. ^ _ hitched their horse and buggy on the edge of the swamp and there the team was found by the searching party, but no trace of the boys was discovered until the grewsome find Saturday. Prentiss Moore, the younger boy,was found tying on the south side of a branch about five feet deep, shot through the body. Guy Rogers' body was found near by that of his companion. He too was shot through the heart. Both boys were evidently shot at close range. A shot-gun with several empty shells was found near the bodies. The scene of the tragedy was in the edge of the swamp within a few hundred yards of a negro settlement. The affair seems to be wrapped in mystery.

Screened Gravel la the Mort Suitable Material to Uae?Wiater Treatment Considered the Cheaper?Advice oa the Mendina of Hiahways. Representative William W. Cocks of Long Island, who has built several gravel roads and has found tbeiu very satisfactory, tells how tbey can be constructed economically. 'To the minds of most people," be says, "when we speak of a gravel road comes the idea of coarse saud, such as tbey have seen dumped on tbe road from time to time and ^frequently in such quantities that it d(u not mix properly with the loam, and hence there was a soft, sandy road, which is the worst road In the world for hauling heavy loads over. What 1 mean by a gravel road Is screened gravel or gravel that may be found in some banks that would be suitable for road construction without screening, but It I should not contain over 10 per cent of j sand in most instances unless one were to use a very thin coat and over a road that was of very deep loam, when It would be well enough to allow a little larger percentage of sand, but otherwise I prefer it to carry as little sand as possible. "There are two methods in which this kind of road could be constructed. One is by the formation of a trench, treating it very much as we do a road for macadam and then putting in the gravel about eight inches deep mixed with a little loam or clay, aud 1 believe that now it would be wise to put some tar on the top course. In the construction of this road I would lay it in two courses, provided 1 were going to use tar iu the upper course. There would be some difficulty in get- i H"" O in-aral rAd.l tv? Imi'l; if if KCfC i C1A1* ? M"*v? a v..va iv , ? v - lr.Id in eight inches thick, anil it should i be done in the winter time unless one | A 6EAT*L ROAD. [Froa Good Rotdi Magnate*. New Tort] expects to haul a good deal of water and use a roller. Bj far the most economical way to build a gravel road Is to spread abent two Inches en the or- | dlnary sisrface of a road that has been previously cleared of all dead and worn oat material that weald never pack again and then plow tbe road and pnt tbe gravel on aboot three or --- a a -11^ ik - Tour lncnes aeep ana jubl iuvw uiv 1 traffic to work It in and havs a man ! continuously along the road tor two or three weeks with a rake to fill ia the ruts and pick out any of the toe large gravel stones, as the top surface should contain ne stones larger than a hickory nut "Another method of construe ting this road which would be still more economical would be to spread tha j gravel on in November or December. Spread it over tbe road about two or three inches deep and repeat during the winter as the traffic works It Into the mnd. 1 am assuming now that we have a road that would get muddy lu the winter time and one that would hare a clay or loam bbttom or a large percentage of loam. If we are to deal with a sandy road it will be necessary to put a considerable percentage of clay or loam with the sand prior to the spreading of the gravel. I have built quite a number of pieces of road In this manner, by putting the gravel on during the winter, and they have been very satisfactory. "One of the greatest difficulties with a great many people In mending roads. in my judgment, is turn me.* cuuco.wi to patch up the road instead of plowing it up and letting the whole ma9s settle at once. Some people hare an idea that traffic will make a road level. Traffic will mash down some lumps and some of the coarse gravel, but if the materinl is not evenly spread or the road not properly graded when it is constructed it will grow worse?that is. more uneven?as time goes on. It is time well spent in the grading of a new road to go over it innumerable times with a road machine in order that the grade may be made perfect in the beginning, and I know of a great many roads In Nassau and Suffolk counties. New York, now which, if they could be plowed up and have a little sand put in some places and a little loam in others, then be thoroughly grndpd with a road machine and have a little gravel added during the winter, would be good all the year round for wagons or automobiles, and if they were oiled they could be rendered just as dust proof as a macadam road."

A publisher once gave the follow | ing: "Woman, the fairest work in all . creation. The edition is large,and no | man should be without a copy." This is fairly seconded by a youth who, giving his distant sweetheart, said, "Delectable dear, so sweet that honey would blush in her presence 1 and trpaele stand aDDalled." Further, in regard to the fair sex, we have: "Woman?she needs no eu! logy. She speaks for herself." "Wo| man, the bitter half of man." In regard to matrimony some bachelor once gave, "Marriage, the gate i through which the happy lover leaves his enchanted ground and returns to ! earth." At the marriage of a deaf and dumb couple some wit wished them "unspeakable bliss." At a supper given to a writer of comedies a wag said: "The writer's very good health. May he live to be as old as his jokes." From a lawfcritie: "The bench and the bar. If it were not for the bar there would beflittle use for the bench." A celebrated statesman while dining with a duchess on her eightieth birthday in proposing her health said: j "May you live, my lady duchess, until you begin to grow ugly." "I thank you, sir," she said, "and may you long continue your taste for antiquities."?IajhUou Tit Bits. | Get your Seed Oats and Agricultural Lime at Farmers' SapplyCo's.
