San Antonio ... f Modern Metropolis With Span-! ? j i ish Tang i Washington, Jan. 2.?San * An- j \<mio, .Texas, scene of the latest j destructive fiood in the United I States, is the subject of the follow- i tag bulletin issued from the Wash- j ingt on, D. C. headquarters of the; ^ - 2vatiooal .Geographic Society. "San Antonio is an intimate mix- j ture of eld Sixain and Mexico, and j he hustling, bustling America of j today," says the bulletin. "It be- j gan its life in 1716 as a tiny Span- j :y?h military aettlement?'El Pres- j idkj de San Antonio de Bexer.' But j that' leisurely name officially lost I most of its trimmings when the j town became an American com-1 munity, and to many who have j : known it best?including O. Henry : ?r-k has taken on the unofficial j i|| eogntomen, 'Sanantone.' Losing Its Foreign Flavor "A hundred years ago San An- ! tonio Was almost entirely' Spanish j and Mexican. Fifty years ago it [ could be considered only half I American. Then the railroads came I to quicken its life, the rich 4cowj country* round about was develop ed, and. a few far-sighted business men woke up to the fact that it was; situated without competitors in the very center of a territory that would need unmeasured sup- j plies.- Since that time San An-' tbnio has grown its forest of sky scrapers and factory chimneys like ?cores of its fellow American cities. Approaching the 200,000 mark, and with a greater population than that during" the winter tourist season, it leads all'other cities in Texas though it is closely approached by j Dallas and Houston. An observer! . .set- dVown suddenly on Commerce j or Te"xas street might easily, imag- j Ine nimself in Syracuse, Atlanta, j Memphis, Dayton or any rone of a. \ doen oid^r cities of a similar size. "As it has grown San I Antonio has lost most of its exotic flavor; but touches of old Spain and Mex ico are still to be found if one searches for them. A few of the jsfcrrow. winding streets of the old days are left with side-walks on ?rhich two pedestrians can hardly -pass. Iron-barred windows are to fce seen behind which coy'senoritas Tbave stood as Spanish or Mexican youths 'played the bear.'

The Alamo?Shrine of Texas "And in the center of the town, j *?troBing down ordinary business : streets, one comes suddenly upon j the-laistoric Alamo, the Thermopy- ! Jse of .America.* There in Texas' j war for independence from .Mexico, j American frontiersmen held off j for ten days a Mexican army of j ^,000 until the last defender was | killed. It is a battered old build- j Ing raised by the hands of Fran- j ciscan monks 203 years ago as an i ?outpost ?f the Christian religion ! among the Indians. Because of the | part it played Ln the7r war of in- | dependence it-is a sacred shrine to j to Texans. "*A string of four other missions i extending for fifteen or twenty j miles*1 down the San Antonio river j represented, with the Alamo and the Presidio and the village of San 'Antonio, all that there was of civ iliation in that part of Texas 200 years ago.

River Hidden by Business Build- j * ia?s "A visitor to San Antonio could ; hardly imagine destruction from the J San Antonio river. .He might even j ?rnainLSila that the city has no river At all. only a creek. In the for- | est of modern business buildings i the river is as effective iy hidden* as ! is the Genesee in Rochester.

"San Antonio's little river has -ways added a picturesque touch t<? the city.

THE LIVESTOCK MAR KETING PROBLEM _Clemson College, Dec. 2S.-VThere i has been considerable dissatisfac- j tkm expressed recently by the i farmers regarding the market ,of- \ i'-ered them for their livestock, par- . ticularly in sections where a grear j many farmers expect to be com pelled to soil their animals before ihe fence law goes into effect, Jan uary 1-. Consequently, when live stock extension work is being push- j ed. the farmer is apt to ans'w^r: "What I need is a market for what I have: 1 don't need more to be left on my hands." Just so, but j j>c why can't this livestock be mar keted. South Carolina has never pro- ! duoed anywhere near all her "pork J and bee*; and she has paid high ! freight on all that has been shipped 1 in. But, just as 'long as an infer xor grade of animals is produced, just that long will prices of home stuff not be satisfactory. Pork which will dress only sixty,|>er cent of live weight.can not compete with, that dressing eighty per cent, nor can beef dressing forty-five per cent compete with that dressing sixty-five p- c cent. Again, an analysis will show that scrub cattle and hogs do not have the weight in the high priced cuts. We are just now getting to the place where it is necessary to ship some of our livestock and be cause we get about one-half to, two-thirds of the price quoted t>y the frig markets, we are prone t.: feel that we have had a raw deal. As a matter of fact, we get about our just dues. We forget that the big markets are governed by high grade grain-fed cattle and hogs from the corn belt and western states. When we produce enough livestock that much of it must be shipped, our farmers will begin to see that the good animal is appre ciated and will straightway begin to grade up their herds, for the quickest way to reach the aver age man is via the pocketbook. On the other hand, just so long as the local market will take care of all that is produced, the grading up will not proceed very fast. The fact is that it is very hard to get high quality beef or pork at our southern meat markets, many of which handle only an inferior grade I of animals for slaughter. * " The moral is that the market is generally as good in proportion as the ntaality of .mimals sold, and if the farmer will improve the aver age quality, the price will take care of itself/ Beauty hint: Carry a handker chief when you have a*winter cold.

(The Associat ed Press).?Marie Spiridonova. the Social Revomtionisl leader; who broke with the Bolsheviki over the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, is danger ously ill in the Cheka hospital as tiie result -of a hunger strike which lasted for 1") days and was brought to an end through forced feeding. Spiridonova is the acknowledged leader of the Russian peasants. She was banished to Siberia under the Czarist regime for bombing a pro vincial official, but returned-at the time of the revolution and was an important factor in leading the peasants into The combination with workmen which made the Bolshe vist coup possible. But the Brest-Litovsk treaty was too bitter a dose for her. She de nounced it in the Fifth AH-Russian j Soviet Congress because she said it robbed the peasants of fond and : clothing. She also denounced Le uino's plan, whereby lie arrayed poor peasants against more pros perous ones, and said it was putting: a premium on shiftlessnes.-. Immediately after Spiridonova's , sensational denunciation of the Brest-Litovsk treaty. Count Mier baeh. the German ambassador in [ Moscow, was murdered and the So- j cial Revolutionist uprising at Yar- j r?stev and other outbreaks against the Bolshevist authority took place. Spiridonova disappeared mme- j diately after her inflammatory 1 speech in the Fifth All-Russian So viet congress. That was in early July. I'JlH. Bolshevist leaders caus- | ed the rei>ort to be circulated that j she was mentally unbalanced and ? had been placed in a sanitarium. She was confined for a time in a J building in the Moscow Kremlin. I but managed to escape, and was not heard of for a long while. The j Cheka discovered her Jiving quiet- : ly in an obscure section of Moscow j and she was again imprisoned. Af ter repeated attempts to get releas- j ed. Spiridonova started th< hung- j er strike which came near ending her life. She has been afflicted j with tuberculosis for years as a re- I suit of her prison experiences under ? rhe old regime. The lack of food aggravated her malady and it was i necessary to move her to a hospital and administer nourishment for- I cibly. Spiridonova was a schoolteacher | at the time she became a terrorist ; and while still in her teens look up ; the defense of peasants against the oppressions of. government Officials^! and landlords.

When an extra task he chanced to see: "That's not my job, and it's not j my .care, So I'll pass it by and leave it there." And the boss who gave him his weekly pay Lost more than his wages on him ! that day. "Tm not supposed to do that," he j >iaid, "That duty belongs to Jim or Fred." So a little task that was in his way That he could have handled with- j out delay Was left unfinished: the way was; paved For a heavy loss that -he could have saved. The time went on and he kept his place. But he never altered his easy pace. And folks remarked on iiow well he knew The line of tasks he was hired to to do. For never once was he known to ! turn His hand to tilings not of Iiis con cern. But flu-re in his foolish rut he stayed. And for all he did he war, fairly paid. But he never war; worth a dollar more Than Ik* got for his toil when the ? work was o'er. For he knew too well when his w ork' was through. And he'd done all he was hired to do.

Bright Outlook Seen For Year Improvement Predicted in Country's Business Washington, Jan. 2.?-Indications i that the turn of the year "is being marked by a striking improvement in the business and economic out look" of the country and the world generally were discussed tonight by ! Comptroller of tin? Currency Cris jSinger in a forecast for \lJ'l'Z. There can be no doubt, Mr. Cris j singer said, that "both the political j j and economic index, figures" are I j.registering improvement at this] j time "when political and economic I conditions so intimately interact." ' : "Taking the wider view." In* add- j j ed. "I feel that we may be justified ' in regarding i h?? outlook as al-! together reasurring and that the, ? new year as coming to us with! j guarantees that justify the more j j optimistic forecasts." In the political domain Mr. [ j Crissirtger described as predomina- j ting favorable factors the limita- j tion of armament conference and j j the "apparently insured settlement' ! of the age-long controversy .in-' jvolving the relations of Ireland to] ! the United Kingdom." Already, he1 [declared, a betterment in the con . ditions of international exchange ! j has taken place, adding that no j I better index of w idespread business I conditions exists. I "In view of these accomplish-1 ! meats," he continued, "we may an- j tlcipate confidently that the year! jlliL'2 will take its place in history! as" one of the landmarks in the! j record of human progress.

Highway Maintenance The Cost in Various Counties of the State Columbia, Jan. 2.?The cost of the maintenance system on the state highways of South1 Carolina averaged for last year i $257 i>er mile, with a total cost of $271,913, for maintaining 3,119 miles. . .This* is shown in the annual "report of the state highway department, as prepared for the legislature by Chas. H. Moorefield, chief engineer of the department. The roads maintained' under the maintenance system are mostly new. The maintenance, is handled with several methods, different in various counties, the.:pAtrpl system in some, the gang system in others. The fact that many of the high ways are new accounts for the low average maintenance1 cost. The report of ^Mr> Moorefield shows that the roads of the state f hich show the best results of the maintenance work arc in Green ville county. Under the system 04 miles in Greenville were main ained, at an average cost of $*&3r. This cost is large because of the very heavy trafiic over the roads. W. li. Willimon is superintendent of maintenance for Greenville. In Richland county t? miles were maintained', at art average cost of $398. Robert King is su perintendent of maintenance.. The report shows that "he roads are in good condition. :n Spartanburg the average cost was $3S5, the mileage 78. In Greenwood the cost was $307, the mileage 57. In Anderson the cost was $312, the mileage 9G. In York the average cost was $268, the mileage 58. In Orangeburg the cost averaged $364, for 34 miles.
