The Dome is Safe.

At least this is the report OF Mr..
Berle, the chief structural engineer
of the supervising architect of the
treasurey department, at Washing
ton. He says that "the conclusion
to which I come in regard to Mr..
Wilson's report is that, aside from
his own uncertain standpoint, there
is absolutely no foundation for the
statement that the girders are SER
iously overloaded" This would
seem. to be strong enough, and yet
he says Mr.. Wilson's calculations
were based on a wrong measurement
of the work as sllown'by the shop de-
tail drawings and by actual measure
ment of the work in place as it
stands in the capitol.
+ We cannot understand why Mr..
Wilson would base his calculations
on wrong measurements when he had
the drawings before him and the
work and sizes before him in the
building itself We can see no reason
for this.
It is a source of qualification, how
ever, to know from one who is an
expert and has no interest directly
or indirectly among those OF our
committees who are cross firing, that
there is no immediate or remote dam
ger of collapse of the dome OF the
capitol and those who desire to seek
Jobs in the state house may do SO
without fear of collapse of the
building.
The committee can hang the new
steel ceiling, says Mr.. Berle, without
ov7'erload;ng the girders.
Nj. Berle's report is published else
where and we invite you to read it.

is there anything that will do so
much towards bringing all these
lands into careful cultivation as a
good roads system. reaching out
from the towns to the remote dis
tricts: is it possible that any peo-
pie can long afford to forego such
an element Of added Wealth.
The above is an extract from a
speech of Mr.. NJ. \. Hays, OF the
land and industrial department OF
the Southern railway. delivered at
New Orleans before the Natioral
GOOD Roads convention.
It is worthy OF the most Cal III:
&C thr".ilili - I'm OF all on:
people. This is primarily an agrl-
cultural section and must Of neces-
sity remain largely on agricultural
section and must depend on agricul-
ture. True we have grown very rap
idly in the last tweny years IN manu-
iactures and especially is this true OF
South Carolina. Even this being
true, and we would not do anything
to retard the growth OF manufactures,
il remains that our agricultural inter-
ests are large, and we must not be
i1nmindiul of the importance of this
Industry.
Mr.. Hays says truthfully that
there is no one thing that will con-
tribute so much to bring this land
into cultivation and to improve the
country as system Of good roads
We talk about it and we complain
OF our bad roads in the winter season
but we have never yet gotten really
in earnest on this subject. To build
roads that will be worth anything
will take money and it would be the
wisest and biggest paying invest
ment we could make, but until we can
make up our minds to pay the price
we had just as we'll stop talking about
the beauties and the comforts and the
advantages and the value Of good
roads to any community.

'LET US HELP YOU TO HEALTH. "
Druggist GOkay Wants Every Cat
aHh Sufferer 10 Use HyOmei
and Be Cured,

Statistics show shat al least 81 out
of every 100 persons in this state suffer
from catarrh 10 some form.
While the disease is ons of the most
common, it is also one OF the most
dangerous and offensive, leading to
consumption and other diseases of the
respiratory organs.
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei and
its introduction in this section by
Druggist Gokay, every method of treat
ment had been found worthless.
The discovery Of Hyomei and its
growing popularity has already reduced
the percentage of those suffering from
catarrh. This wonderful remedy is
the simplest and most pleasant Of
treatments Put 20 drops of Hyomei
in the pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit and breathe it for a few
minutes four times q day. Relief will
be seen after the first treatment and a
complete cure will soon follow. Breathe
the Hyomsi in this way and the catar-
rhal gerUs even in the most remote air
cells are destroyed The irritated mu-
oous mem brane is soothed and healed
and perfect health restored.
Druggist Gokay says to all catarrh
sufferers, "Let me help you to health,
l am confident Hyomei will cure, 30
confident in fact, that / guarantee to
refund your money if it fails, A COM
plete outfit costs but 81 and if it does
not help you. your money will be re-
turned promp tly."
