ROAD EXPENDITURES
IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
THIS STATE IS FAR BEHIND MOST
OTHERS IN AMOUNT SPENT &
IN GOOD ROADS^LEGISLATION
Clemson College, [October 1 SiThere
are now only four States in
the Union that have not enacted
laws providing: for^ State aid for
good roads work. One of these Spates
is South Carolina, the others being
Indiana, Mississippi, and Texas.
These three other 'States, however.
are above South Carolina in expenditures
for road work. Indeed, according
to information which has
been received atj Clemson College
from the United States department
of agriculture, this State cannot
boast of its record in road work and
is considerably behind most of the
other States of the Union in this
respect.
In 1914, South Carolina spent
$l,000,0o0on road work, this money
coming from local funds of counties,
townships, and districts. There
were no expendituresjby the State
and local units jointly, or by the
State alone. In the same period,
Indiana spent $13,258,761 and Iowa
spent $11,363,000.$ ?Nor does South
Carolina compare well with even the
other Southern States. As against
this State's $1,000,000, North Carolina
spent $3,930,000, Georgia, $2,500,000;
Alabama, $2,795,000; Mississippi,
$2,850,000; ^Tennessee, $2,500,000;
Texas, 88,750,000. In fact,
the only States on the list which are
not above South Carolina in road
expenditures are the undeveloped
States of Arizona,! Nevada, New
Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming; and
the diminutive commonwealths of
Delaware. Rhode Island and Vermont.
The total of all surfaced roads in
South Carolina is 4,888 miles. In
this respect, the State compares
favorably with many, since its percentage
of surfaced roads is 17.3,
making it the thirteenth State in
the Union in percentage of surfaced
roads, inree states, unio, maiana,
and New York, contain nearly onethird
of all the surfaced roads in
the United States, with a mileage
of 77,544.
New York has spent $82,638,729
on its roads and is spending $15,000,000
more on them in 1915. This,
it should be understood, is the
amount spegt byjthe State Government
and does not include the huge
expenditures by local units.
MAY PROVE FATAL.
When Will Kingstree People Learn the
Importance of It?
Backache is only a simple thing at
first;.
But if you find 'tis from the kidneys;
* That serious kidney troubles may
follow;
That dropsy or Bright's disease
may be the fatal end,
You will be glad to know the following
experience.
'Tis the statemei:n of a Kingstree
citizen.
Mrs S H DuBose, Kingstree, says:
"A spell of grip, weakened my kidneys,
and my back began to ache
terribly. I could hardly turn over in
bed, I was bo sore and lame. I tired
easily and could hardly do my housework.
I suffered from dizzy spells
and the kidney secretions being irregular
in passage, annoyed me considerably.
When I heard about
Doan's Kidney Pills I got some at
the Scott Drug Co. Two boxes
cured me."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
limply ask for a kidney remedy?get
Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that
Mrs DuBose had. Foster-Milburn

When Baby Has the Croup.
When a mother is awakened from
sound sleep to find her child who has
gone to bed apparently in the best
of health struggling for breath, she
is naturally alarmed. Yet if she can
keep her presence of mind and give
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy every
ten minutes until vomiting is produced,
quick relief will follow and
the child will drop to sleep to awaken
in the morning as well as ever.
This remedy has been in use for
many years with uniform success.
QHainahle everywhere.
