Manna. authorized representative. GEORGIA'S PROPHET Thomas VV. Loyless, editor of the Aususta Chrouicle, has ] cliuibed out of the narrow en- i vironment in which circumstance 1 had placed hi in. He no longer ' belongs to Augusta, Ga., alone. , One city cannot confine him. He ' has heard the voice, the still 1 small voice, of the good people of j Georgia and has spoken. Dur- ' ing all the tumult and the shout- j ing of the anarchists, striving to ] tear down law and order in the state of Georgia, while Torn Wat son and his ilk with their Jewbaibing politics were dragging the good name of that great state in the mire, this one great , man, with the eye and the ear of 1 a seer saw the blush of shame on the face of his fair state and heard the protests of her righteous people aud Tom Loyless had the courage to speak what he heard, and so clearly and convincingly did he speak it that all the world now knows that this revengeful, attack on law and order, this dastardly blow at Southern civi ligation does not have the endorsement of Georgia's good people. Tom Loyless belongs not only to the State of Georgia but to the entire South for he has rendered a great service to us all. GOOD ADVICE REPEATED Sow grain, says Olemson. Sow grain, echoe the county demonstrators, and the cry is taken up by every paper interested in agriculture in the South. Since last fall the farmers of the south have taken the longest step towards independence and prosperity that this country has ever witnessed. They not ouly raised a small crop of cotton and raised it cheaply, but they have classified their crops raising their own grain at homo A high price for cotton can only be maintained by the independence of the farmer. Tin only way for the producer to become and remain independent is Icy first raising all home supplies at home. This advice has been repeated so often that there is some danger of its losing its effect. Hut there is a peril in the high price of cotton, the peril of a backward step, which may mean a return to low prices, credit-bought grain and hard times. So we repeat the advice once more: Sow grain. The premium list for Marion County's first fair is just out. There is evideuce of a well or ^ciiiu^u ictir litimil. 11 mi n half of what the Marion Star says about this fair comes true it is going to be a rousing good be ginner. Here's success to you, Marion. Cheraw people should and no doubt will, do all they can to make the county fair a success. ?Cheraw Chronicle. That's the way to talk, I?t Cheraw join hands with all other sections of the County by booming and boosting the fair and the result is bound to benefit the "Tip Top" town along with the rest. Ic this issue appears Oovenor Manning's warning to farmers against boll weevil, in whir h in1 urges farmers of South Carolina to sow and plant other money crops than cotton. In this connection farmers of ChestertiId county are referred to the exeelent article, also in this issue, on tobacco raising in Chesterfield County, by JIou. K. VV. Duvall. Lest you forgot it?You can simply make the County Pair a big Pair. It's very simple and easy, too. Just figure on , taking a day or two lrorn work , or business and attending the ( Fair. The other fellows, the ex- , hibitors, the amusement ch^ps, \ the racers, the musicians, iwili j ^ all be on hand to help make /the j time pleasantly And profitably t spent. Sure, you can help-yjust come. Don't forget the ij^tes, j /% 11 t! *OADS MUST BE MAINTAINED v 1< Mo Phase of Public Thoroughfare ,, Problem of More Importance? . Keep Surface Well Drained. Thero is no phaBO of tho road prob- <] lem more important than that of maintenance. The general impression that 11 there are certain types of roads that t tiro permanent is erroneous. No per- ^ manent road has ever been construct- . rid or ever will be. Tho only things about a road that may be considered 6 permanent are tho grading, culverts f and bridges. Roads constructed by the a most skillful highway engineers will f soon bo destroyed by tho traffic, frost, rain and wind, unless they are proper- . ly maintained. Rut tho life of these roads may bo prolonged by systematic maintenance. A poor road will not ' umy uc nii)in)vt'u uy proper iuuiiiiunance, but may becomo bettor in time than a good road without it. The first and last commandment in earth road maintenance is to keep the surface well drained. To insure good drainage the ditches should be kept open, all obstructions removed and a | smooth crown maintained. Except for very stony soil, the road machine or scraper may bo used very effectively for this work. The machine should be used once or twice a year, and the work should bo done when the soil is j damp, so that it will pack and bake f Into a hard crust. Wide and shallow t side ditches should be maintained. 1 with sulllelent fall and capacity to j dispose of surface water. These J ditches can in most cases be con- ( struotcd and repaired with a road machine. f All vegetable matter such as sods ( and woods should be kept out of the t road, as they make a spongy surface I which retains moisture. Clods are also i objectionable, for they soon turn to dust or mud, and for that reason ! roads should never be worked when 5 dry or hard. Bowlders or loose stone6 ' are equally objectionable ii a smooth j onrfo/.o in * rx lc/i A 6plit-log drag or bodio similar do- | vlco is very useful in maintaining the * surface after suitable ditches and cross I sections have once been secured. This i drag can also ho used to advantage on ' a gravel road as well as on an earth road. The principle involved in drag- * ging*ls that clays and most heavy soils < will puddle when wet and set very hard when dry. The litt'.o attention that tho earth road needs must bo given promptly and at the proper time if tho best results are to be obtained. In dragging roads only a small | amount of earth is moved, just enough | to fill tho ruts and depressions with a thin layer of plastic clay or earth f which packs very hard, so that the next rain, instead of finding ruts, de- ; pressions and clods in which to col- I lect, runs off. leaving the surface but little affected. The drag should bo light and should < he drawn over the road at an angle of , about 15 degrees. Tho driver should ride on tho drag and should not drive ^ King Road Drag. j faster than a walk. One round trip, each trip staddling a wheel track, Is usually suflleient to till the ruts and smooth the surface. If necessary the road should bo dragged after every bad spell of weather, when the soil is In proper condition to puddlo well and still not adhere to tho drag. If the road is very had it may he dragged when very wet and again when it bogins to dry out. Crown of Earth Road. The slope or crown of an earth road should he about one inch to tho foot. n tun nunn i?!cuui?h iuo uign 11 may be reduced by dragging toward the ditch instead of from it. If the drag cuts too much, shorten the hitch and chango your position on the drag. If it is necessary to protect the face of the drag with a strip of iron. It should bo placed flush with the edge of the drag and not projecting. A cutting edge should he avoided, as the mair. object in dragging Is to scoear the dump soil into position.
