do as much business as a wholesale
store in Columbia.
He advised mod Grafton and common
sense in the undertaking. Some Sec
tions do not need as much expense as
others. He then complimented the
roads of Richland county leading out
of Columbia. The county supervisor
had accomplished, so easily that he
hardly realized the value of his work,
the building of roads that are as easily
travelled as those celebrated roads OF
Mecklenburg county, North Carolina,
and at cost of 800 per mile, while
the later had expended $4,000 mile.
He urged the legislature to advise their
people TO experiment with sand and
clay, mixed to the proper consistency.
He could give no formula as to the
composition, as clay differs in the
several sections of the stale. But or
dinarily u sand road for basis, with
surface of four inches Of clay, is the
proper consistency.
Iu the laying of macadam he urged
L
should be carefully packed, and il
is economy to have heavy rollers
Each upper stratum should be packed
on carefully.
Throughout his talk, he showed the
exa>peraling difficulties and aclua TX
lravugance Of bad roads, and by c"m
parisun argued that perpetual lax t"l
bad roads would be far greater than t"
lax for perpetual good roads.
Several good arguments for wide tire
wagons were advanced throug hout the
address. 1t may be that all individual
in community has Il hard lime with
broud.lire vehicle when the narrow
tires cut the road and make the broad
tire appear al u universal disadvantage.
In Is counties in North Carolina they
have the broad.lire wagon law aud

the proposed constitutional amend.
menL ls adopted. II had struck him
forcibly that the narrow tire would al
ways follow the bard surface packed
by the broad tire. He showed thai
under equal conditions the narrow tire
cut nine inches into the ground, while
the broad tire sank but two inches and
found itself d surface.
He illustrated with attractive Views
the difference in the carrying capucll!
of u wagon ten times laden OH hard
roads aud one with Il h,msy load OH sutI
sticky roads. He claimed that one oI
the items Of mud tax was accounted
for in the fact that grain could br
shipped here from the Mississippi val
ley as cheaply as it could be hauled
over bad couutry roads to mark't.
At the conclusion of his lecture,
Prof. Homes was applauded and pub
licly thanked. He answered a mum
Der of questions piled him. The large
audience was wonderfully quiet and
very deeply interested throughout The

LESSON on ROADS.
Professor Holmes, of North Carolina, Talk
to the General Assembly.

Professor Holmes, of North Carolina, Talks
to the General Assembly.
Columbia State, saturday.
The legislature of South Carolina
last night listened to an enjoyable and
much enjoyed common sense talk on
the subject Of good roads. This theme
did not occupy the entire time of Prof
J. A. Holmes, Of the University ot
North Carolina and state geologist /;
but referred briefly to many latent
resources which should he developed,
fostered and maintained.
Mr.. Holmes is native OF South
Carolina, and though IA young man, is
among the foremost of those who are
devoiing lime and brain to the up
building Of the south in the develop
ment of natural riches. He is self
made man, and the most forcible Illus
tralions of the cost of bad roads which
he used last night was taken from his
own life. He recited how, when a
hoy, he had made three bales of cotton
to aid in obtaining an education. 10
haul that cotton from Laurens to
Newberry cost him S15 and consumed
five days on account Of the horrible
roads-as much an expense as trip
to New York on the cars.
He then came to the subject upon
which he was to address the general
assembly-good roads. He laid down
the proposition that those people
who have not good roads, are pay
ing "mud, sand and hill tax" +"
and for this they get no benefit. No
creature in the animal or vegetable
kingdom is benefited by bad roads,
not even tadpoles, for they die in dry
weather. From letters he had written
TO 10000 farmers, he had been able to
estimate that the "mud tax" had cost
North Carolina $4,000, 900 yearly, and
the cost in South Carolina is half as
great. With his stereopticon, he show
ed how in other sections of this coun-
try hills were graded, and the roads
made smooth and firm.
In Califorua convic' labor is used to
prepare the macadam at a cost OF
about 25 cents day. against 10 cents
in North Carolina for free labor. lie
suggested that state rock crushing
plant could be establish ed at or in con-
nection with the South Carolina peni
Tertiary, and by convict labor the cost
reduced TO minimum. The counties
could arrange with the railroads for
normal rate of transportation. Ihe
poorer counties might say that it was
very well for Greenville, SPartanburg.
Anderson. etc, to undertake this work !;
but they themselves could not. Prof.
Holmes said there was as much com
mon sense in that statement as there
would be in the plant of country
merchant that he could not keep his
store open because he was not able to

STARTING YEAST.-We housewives
keep up sort Of perpetual motion in
our yeast-making by using some of the
old yeast to leaven the new; but it
often happens that the old yeast has
become sour or "run out" and it is
necessary to make new start, which
can be done this way: In the morn
ing put three tablespoonfuls of fresh
new cornmeal, one-third of teaspoon
full each of salt, sugar and ginger into
bowl and mix well by stirring. Then
pour on boiling water, stirring all the
time, and adding only enough water
to make a batter Of medium thickness,
as it thickens by standing. Keep it
warm during the day, and if the meal
was really fresh it will be light al
night; but if it is not, keep it only as
warm as convenient during the night,
and if it is not light in the morning set
the bowl into quite warm water; in
about two hours it will be light. 1t
will not rise much; but will be light
and fluffy. This we call "quick proof" "
and with it the yeast proper is set to
working. For the yeast take six me.
dunn sized potatoes, two quarts OF
cold water, four tablespoonfuls of flour
and two tablespoonfuls of white sugar.
Peel the potatoes and put into cold
water, boil till ready to break. Skim
out the potatoes and mash very fine
with the -four, salt and sugar, stirring
in gradually the hot potato water until
all is used; when lukewarm add the
"quick proof" and set away in a warm
place until it has ceased to efervesce,
then bottle or put into sealed 6 lass
jars, or make out into yeasts cakes
This yeast is very white and makes
delightful bread free from the bitter
hop taste disliked by many.-R. 5. IN

The GIRL WHO Is WELCoME.-The
welcome guest is the girl who, knowing
the hour for breakfast, appears at the
table at the proper time, does not keep
others waiting, and does not get in the
way of being down half an hour before
the hostess appears. The welcome
guest is the girl who, if there are not
many servants in the house, has sui
ficient energy to take care of her own
room " while she is visiting, and, if there
are people whose duty it is, she makes
that duty as light as possible for them
by putting away her own belongings,
and so necesstating no extra work I;
she is the one who knows how 10 br
pleasant to every member of the fami-
ly, and who has yet enough tact TO re-
tire from a room when some special
family affair is under discussion she
is the one who does not tiud children
disagreeable or the various pets of the
household things 10 be dreaded she Is
the one who, when her hostess is busy,
can entertain herself with book, a
bit of sewing or the writing of a let
ter; she is the one, when her friends
come to see her, does not disarrange
the household in which she is staying
that she may entertain them she is
the one who, having broken the bread
aud eaten the salt of her friend, has
set before her lips the seal of silence,
so that when she goes from the house
she repeats nothing but the agreeable
things she has seen. This is the wei
come guest, the one to whom we say
"goodby" with regret, and 10 whom we
call out "welcome !" with the lips and
from the heart.-Ledger Monthly.

PLANTING NUT TREE SEEDs.-Now
is the time to plant butter nuts, black
walnuts and hickory nuts. There is
great difference in the size of these
nuts. Select the best from the best
trees and plant them now, so they
won't get so dry that they will moi
grow. Nature plants the nuts just un'
der the leaves, and they never get dry !;
but you had better cover them about
two inches, so the mice and squirrels
will not find them. The bulternut
likes low ground, still they pay for
themselves on high ground and by
the roadside; but better on the low
est ground and back from the reach Of
boys.
The other nuts do we'll on any soil !;
stony, clay soil is best for the hickory.
If you do not plant an acre, put the
nuts by the fence posts every rod all
about the farm then they will not get
plowed up and will need little attention.

WHY A TURKEY Is CALLED a TUR.
KEY.-Three hundred years Or so ago
the newly discovered portions of the
New World were still supposed to be
part Of the Asiatic continent, and the
natives were called Indians in conse-
quence. A common name for the
maize, which we call Indian corn, was
then "Turkish wheat" The delicious
turkey was too important to the larder
to be ignored, so the French and Eng
lish explorers soon found name for it..
The French Labadists, or Mystics,
who came to New York, then New
Amsterdam, in the autumn of 1879,
mention the ripe fields of "Turkish
wheat" and also the wild turkey" !"
The French name of dindon (d'Inde.
on the Indian fowl, is a more reason.
able name for the same bird, since we
agree to call the red aborigines or
autochthones of this continent Indians.

value to us, and it is our purpose to pay
for it most literally, in proportion to the
service rendered.
The propositions we make herein are
to all responsible individuals, III each and
every locality. There is no monopoly in
the matter. Because an individual re-
turned the name of certain subscriber
last year, is no reason why he should
nave any claim upon that subscriber this

not also canvass in that neighborhood.
Every clubmaker is entitled to get sub.

Our plan of compensation to clubmak-

MAN AND HIS SMOKE-Every lit
tie while you read that man 9G years
old and still hale and hearty, has
smoked all his life; but it is neverthe-
less fact that smoking is very injur-
ious. Men should be ashamed that
they are unable to quit the habit.
This is not written by man who has
no desire to smoke but by man who
smokes great deal has tried several
times to quit and couldn't do it.
When you find boy who is pale and
sick from his first smoke, remember
that his father and his grandfather are
to blame. 1t will take thousands OF
years to reform the world, if we begin
now. A boy is as certain to look for IA
pipe as he is TO look for a sweetheart.
