nerves are shattered and the sufferer perhaps an
invalid and cripple for life.
Sometimes it develops slowly, little shifting
pains felt at intervals in the muscles and
joints, just severe enough to keep one anxious
and uneasy. But the disease is all the while
taking possession of your system, and unless you
stop its further advance will wreck your consti-
tuition and make your life veritable torment.
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid and
other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood,
which are carried through the circulation to the
remotest parts of the system. Every muscle,
joint, membrane and nerve in the body becomes
saturated with these dangerous poisons and coated
with fine particles of insoluble caustic matter, and
the deep piercing pains that only Rheumatism
can infict felt with every effort of the blood
to force its way through the sore and tender parts
The longer the blood remains impure the greater
will be your suffering and your chances of a
cure are lessened with every days delay
There is no other way of escape from the
clutches of ",The Pain King" except through
the publication of the blood and removal of all

ROADS OF THE SOUTH
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT IN THE
SOUTHERN STATES.

Can Boast of Some of the Best Roads
In the World-The Employment Of
COnvicts ON the Highways Of North
Carolina.
Among the many interesting and val.
liable articles published in a recent
number Of Harper's Weekly was the
following on highway improvement in
the south:
One Of the most important, but
least conspicuous. movements in the
new south is that being made in be-
half OF good country roads. About
fifteen years ago there was q general
revival OF interest in the building of
country roads. and now many com.
munities in the south have systems Of
roads of which they justly feel proud.
Even North Carolina, long known as
the Rip Van Wrinkle Of the southern
states. has at last awakened and Is
giving lessons to the outside world in
the construction of good roads. 1t is
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-01-16

In the improvement Of earth roads
one very important essential often
overlooked is the necessity for drain.
age to carry of the surplus water be-
fore 1t can soak into the surface. says
Good Roads Magazine. Good roads
can be constructed even In n prairie
country. and by the adoption Of i'm
proved methods immediate recovery
from the effects OF heavy rains may be
insured. Tile draining is very effec.
tive. and with even shallow dressing
OF crushed stone or gravel on the sur.
face OF an earth road wonderful i'm.
provement can be secured.

&AcADAMIZED ROAD IN NORTH CAROLINA,
no exaggeration to say that the roads
OF Mecklenburg county, N. c.. are the
best to be found in the entire south.
The county Of Mecklenburg is near
the South Carolina line, And is pierced
by that division Of the Southern rail-
road which extends from Washington
to Atlanta. The county seat is Char
Iotte. progressive city of thirty thou.
sand inhabitants. Within radius
Of one hundred miles Of this city there
are three hundred cotton factories,
comprising more than half Of the spin
dies and looms operated III the south.
In 1850 the authorities OF the county
conceived the idea Of utilizing the con-
victs for the improvement Of the pub.
lie roads. Instead Of locking up Of
tenders in the county Jail or sending
them to the penitentiary it was decid-
ed to employ them at home in improv-
ing the highways. A law was passed
authorizing the use of convicts for
this purpose. The convicts were or
ganized into q squad Or camp. placed
under the control Of O competent su-
pervisor and engineer. and the work
OF grading. Strengthening and macad-
amizing the roads was begun. A short
experience demonstrated that the con.
vict laborers cost the county only %
cents per day per head. including food,
lodging. clothing and overseeing.
The outfit for the road work, con.
sisting Of steam roller. crusher. bins,
portable engine. road machine and a
screen for asserting the rocks, cost
about $4,000. At present the county
has in operation two road outfits and
employs about sixty convicts with
each outfit. The total expenditure in
constructing each mile Of macadam-
lied road is from $1,000 to $1,000,
not including bridges. In summer the
convicts live in tents along the road,
and in winter they live In barracks.
The rock used for the roads is bought
from the farmers. who haul and depos-
1t it at the convict camp.
These roads have been in process Of
construction for twelve years at the
rate OF ABOUT ten miles per year. At
present there are more than 100 miles
Of macadamized roads in the county.
The roads radlate in all directions from
the center Of Charlotte and extend ten
or fifteen miles to the county limits.
The roads Of this county have become
so famous that delegations from many
other states have come here to inspect
them.
Many good roads organizations exist
In the south. Professor j. A. Holmes
OF the University Of North Carolina
has Travelled in many states. giving H.
Illustrated lectures on road construc-
ton and organizing good roads clubs.
His campaign has borne much fruit.
and the south can now boast Of some
Of the best and most picturesque roads
In the whole world.
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-01-16

There is no reason In the world why
a road should not last for ages if 1t Is
built Of good material and kept in prop
er repair. Ii this is not done, the mon
ey spent Is more than wasted. 1t is
more economical as rule. to bring
good materials a long distance by rail
or water than to employ inferior ones
procured close at hand.
