A GOOD ROADS MEETING
To BE Held i'm st. Louis the Latter
Part OF April.

The question Of good roads is giving
public men more to think about than
anything else which has come up in
the last generation. There is no deny
ing the selfevident facts pre- sented by
those who advocate building good
roads and who urge that to have bad
roads is more costly and more of tax
In the end than the paying of a special
TAX Tor the purpose Of building roads
which will be permanent in their
nature.
At the last session of the general
assembly there were number of
measures introduced, some advocating
special tax, and others suggesting a
local option plan such as has been
adopted by special schoo! districts
let each township vote upon the ques-
tion. Others suggested tAslan of
issuing township bonds e Dalr
unsettled were the convictions of the
legislators.
One OF the most earnest advocates
or building and maintaining good
roads Is Governor Hayward He has
repeatedly urged the Importance of
this MATTER and is taking no
little interest in the proposed good
roads convention which is to be held
at St. Louis on the 9th OF this
month. He expects to attend, If his
business engagements will permit, and
has been Informed that President
Roosevelt and the governors OF a num-
bar of States will be there at that
time and will make addresses.
Governor Hayward Wednesday an
nounced the appointment OF the dele
gates from this State to that conven-
tion, and he has selected the gentle
men named not so much because of
their prominence in the good roads
movement, but because he believes
they will attend and will bring back
TO South Carolina ideas which will be
of great value in the movement. Fol
lowing are the delegates named:

RED LIGHT QURRTER

Despite the fact that the police de-

out of town last week, the collection of
fines made today from the immoral
women of the city shows that there
are ten more in town than there were
last month, and last month the returns
showed an increase in the number OF
women of about 10 per cent over the
preceding month.
The money collected by the city from
the women today amounted to $3.50

He Knew a Way.

At the Portsmouth luncheon to the
American squadron United States
Consul Swain Of Southampton, who
was stationed at Montevideo during
the war with Spain, told the following
story: They were expecting the Ore
son during the Spanish-American war,
and they also expected that she would
be short of coal. He could not buy
so much as a pound of fuel, but one
evening a Scotsman came to his door
and said: "You want cOal?" The con-
sui replied that he never wanted a
drink so badly as he wanted coal at
that moment. The Scotsman had no
power to sell but he pointed out
that he had 500 tons On board and
said he pitied the American captain
who could not put his ship alongside,
take out the bags of coal and then
cut the painter" 1t so happened
that the Oregon did not call, but as
an act of friendship which defed law
and order. this touched the consul's
heart.

The WAGER Paid.

In Travis Meredith's apartments In
the hotel, Milton Lennox sat awaiting
his friends return.
Two hours before, note had
reached him telling him of Travis inn
mediate departure for Europe, and re-
greet at not clasping his hand in a
goodbye pressure. A perplexed look
gathered in his eyes as he read it.
"Why did he not wait for me?" he
pondered. This is unlike the boy.
But what is this?" STOPPING and pick
ing up piece of paper which had
floated unnoticed to the floor.
Unfolding it, check for one thou
sand dollars. payable to his order,
stared him in the face.
Il would give ten times this sum-"
he murmured, had l never made that
foolish bet, or led Travis into this
temptation. I knew he would be hit
hard, of course, but that she would
draw him on did not think. Can she
have heard Of his money? Fool that
have been to do this thing! But, SAD
as is his errand, I am glad the boy
must leave. Two days out at sea he
will forget her, save that she has left
him thousand poorer!" looking rue
fully at the check in his hand. But I
must see him and spend these last
hours with him if only to send mes
sage to my little sweetheart. By Jove!
she must be springing up into young
woman now. Dear little Avice! l
would love to see her again!"
But two long hours had dragged
wearily away since ne had thrown him
| self YEARLY into an easy chair in his
| friends room to wait.
! Four times the little clock IN the
mantel had chimed the hour and the
half hour, but no welcome step sound
ed in the corridor without. "
Can he be with here" he thought.
But no. She is ill. = It is impossible"
A quick football reused him from his
reverle. AS the door was flung open,
he started to his feet, -:
Travis, my boy" he began, you
did not think would let you 60 of
alone on your sad mission? YOU" .
