MR. RA6SDALE FOR GOOD ROADS AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO BENEFIT THE RURAL COMMUNITY -HIS SPEECH IN CONGRESS. Washington, February8:?Though himself a strong advocate of preparedness, Representative J W Ragsdale of South Carolina does not relish the attitude of some of the other preparedness advocates towards the bill for Federal aid in road-building. Mr Ragsdale "had his say" on the subject in the following speech in the House during the debate which preceded the passage of the roads bill by that body a few days ago: Mr Chairman, whea I find the proponents of preparedness here opposing everything that goes to the protection of the people in the rural communities I am very much interested. I am interested in everything that they say and print in the Record. I am also interested in some of the things that they do not say. When the distinguished gentleman from Ohio (Mr Long worth) made his remarks as to his interest in the protection of that which the farmer raises,I am sure it was merely a slip of his mind that he forgot to state that he was also in favor of the same degree of protection for that which the farmer buys; and that, as a matter of fact, he knows that very little of the protection that he would put upon the country would be real protection to the farmer, and that the system of protection which he proposes would add enormously to the burden of the farmer'scost of living. Since I have been a member of this house I do not think I have ever cast a ballot against a reasonable degree of expenditure or any expenditures for the army and navy, and,in common with others here,I feel that the time has now come in the history of this country when a reasonable preparedness ought to be brought about in order that this country may maintain the position which it is entitled to occupy in international affairs. I do not care how it is necessary to raise the money, if we get the results for the people to which they are entitled. My own belief is that, if it is necessary, we ought to sell the bonds that are now in the Treasury and issue a 'new set of bonds in order to protect the people at home and in order to protect this country against other nations. But, Mr Chairman, whenever we take up a discussion in favor of]good roads, some gentlemen say there is "pork" in it. If we discuss anything that increases transportation facilities, either by way of good roads or by river and harbor bills, some gentlemen say there is "pork" in it. If an effort is made here on the part of this Government to give governmental aid to rural credit,some gentlemen call it paternalism, out 11 it is ior an appropriation that goes anywhere except in rural communities, then the man who proposes it is a wise and patriotic statesman, and it is a good form of government which carries it out. I want to say to the gentleman from Massachusetts and others along the eastern coast who have been opposing this legislation that the people of the South realize that practically every one of the munition factories is located between Norfolk * and Maine. We realize that the population and wealth of this country are to be found there. We realize that below Norfolk there will be no attack on this country in all probability by any foreign power. We , learn also from the experts of the army aod navy that we do not need anything to protect the portion of the country south of Virginia. But coming here from the South, with our loyalty to this Government unquestioned, the people of the South . want to stand behind this Government and nnminv a nlaep in it. and I we ask but a small share of the appropriations, We are coming here T . . - ... asking in this bill that we be given some small measure of that to which we are entitled; and every gentleman here knows that for the past half cectury the South has been taxed far beyond what she has received from this Government. Under these conditions, Mr Chairman,I hope that this house will enact some kind of a I I I People whc Mrs. T. Freeh, R. R. 1, Hickor to tell you that I am cured of < catarrh and stomach trouble for se different doctors, who only relieve hope of being cured. I was lndu surprise I am now entirely well. FOR IND Mrs. W. R. Whitehead, R R. happy to tell you that I keep free catarrhal symptoms at all. I am what I want, and rejoice to kno^ valuable medicine. I think it save pomno t wns cured sound and w< Are Stronc The Peruna Company. Co'umbus. medicines can now proc good roads bill at this session. I an ready to vote for it. I do not sa; this is the best bill that could bi passed,but I say almost any bill tha gives us better roads.almost any bil that gives us a better rural credi system, almost any bill that lighten: the burdens carried because of bai roads and high rates of interest pai( by the farmers will better the con ditions under which the farmers o: this country are now forced to live (Applause), TRY IT!

The unsightly poultry disease known as scaly legs is exceedingl: injurious to the marketability o: chickens, making them objectionabli sights to buyers. Moreover, it ii extremely contagious, one diseasec fowl being enough to infect an en tire flock in short order. This in formation should be especially in teresting to South Carolina poultrj men, since the extension poultrj husbandman of Clemson Colleg< states that he has seen more of the scaly leg disease in this State thar anvwhere he has ever been. The disease appears only 'on th< legs of fowls and is caused by the ravages of a mite which bears the name sarcoptes mutans. It i9 more likely to be found where fowls are kept in a small yard or on the bare ground. A good grass range is helpful in overcoming the disease. To treat scaly legs, thoroughly cleanse the legs by washing with water, soap, and a handy brush, Dry them and immerse them in a solution of equal parts of coal oil, (kerosene) and cottonseed oil. Treat th? fowls' legs in this way twice daily for a few days and then once daily until the shanks resume theii natural appearance. How to Cure Colds. Avoid exposure and drafts. Eat right.

Leo, February 14:?Some very s' needed work is being done on the t causeway at Brown Bridges on the 1! Williamsburg side. A squad of t; hands are located there; they are s ditching and throwing up the cause1 way from both sides, which will i make it higher and wider where it - can be widened. This was begun I f more than a year ago but was dis- , continued some time before completion. This is an important causeway and we are glad this work is being finished. We understand that Mr Bailey - Lyerly of this place is about to perfect a "multiplying machine." He has been devoting some of his time to it for quite a while. This mae chine is something on the order of e an adding machine though when s completed and perfected will be quite different and capable of multie plying any amount of figures. He 8 is applying for a patent on his new machine and when once put on the . market ready sales will be found, t Mr Lyerly holds a position in the u mercantile establishment of Messrs Walter Poston and Company near y here. His efforts are deserving and he is to be complimented on the - progress thus far made on his new '? invention. We feel that the busi'* ness world has a use for such a mae t chine and that Mr Lyerly will make - good in this invention. * The Farmers' Mercantile Come pany of Leo has been commissioned, j with a capital stock of $3,000. The t petitioners are: J J Hanna, J H s Powell, J A Hanna, E D Hanna, 0 1 B Stone, A E Lyerly, W M Melton, W J Hanna, J Q Lyerly and Mrs Effie Tanner.
