MONEY VALUE OF GOOD ROADS

In his report describing the
wonders of the achievement of the
American farmer, the Secretary Of
Agriculture does not fail to speak
a word Of hearty commentator
for the attempts that have been
made, in a few localities, to i'm
prove the condition of American
roads. In no other thing are the
people of this country so far be-
hind those of Europe as in the
character of the public highways.
OF course, We have greater dis
tances to cover than other civilized
peoples; in many casos the pepu-
lation is not so dense, and then all
Europe has the advantage of us in
having had centuries in which to
work at this business. But, what
ever the reason may be, the incon-
testable fact is that our country
roads even in the most thickly
settled and the most prosperous
districts of the land, are usually
no better than they were sixty,
and not improbably a hundred
years ago.

FRANTIC EFFORT THAT FAILED

The Atlanta Journal reached
the very limit of disgusting dema-
goguery day or two ago in it's
report of Mr.. Howell's reception
at Swainsboro, where the local
committee, headed by Hon. Geo.
NJ. Crimson, had employed a first
class colorcd band to furnish
music. The Journal frantically
asks why the local committee did
not hire white band, and thus
seeks to drag the color line into
the affair as if it were a heinous
crime for white citizens to listen
to the music of negro band. AS
the citizens of Swainsboro are not
accountable to the cratic Journal
for their action in this matter
they have made no explanation,
nor is explanation necessary. The
Journal, however, gladly seized
upon the opportunity to engender
race hatred, and in its recent exu-
dation of claptrap anent the ne
gro band seeks to make little
cheap thunder for its champion in
duplicity, the "Hon." Hoke
Smith.

MOST APPALLING is DISASTER

Further reports yesterday of
the situation in the stricken Yves
tern metropolis show that the re-
cent earthquake and resultant
holocaust combine to make it the
most appalling disaster in the en-
tire history of the United States
No other calamity near approaches
it in magnitude and horror. La
test dispatches in the afternoon
pointed to the fact that the entire
city had been abandoned to the
flames, and the lives of thousands
threatened by the devouring ele-
ments. 1t is to be hoped that
later information based upon OPP
portunity being given for care
full survey of the situation will
disclose that the earlier reports
were exaggerated. At any rate
the situation is appalling enough,
for the probabilities are that hun
dreds of lives and millions of dol
lars worth of property have been
destroyed in the most distressing
catastrophe that the new century
has witnessed. The genuine sym
pathy of the whole world will go
out to the afflicted people of the
great capital of the Pacific coast.

Thousands of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that 1t
Really Does Make Sick Women Well.

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham S Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's office, and prove this
statement to be a fact and not mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished such
widespread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter of
century?
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med.
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world so
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant-not because it is
a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the female system, positively
CURING disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been, cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it will effect a cure.
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, backache,
bloating Tor flatulence), weakness, dis
placements, Inflammation, liberation,
that bearing-down feeling, dizzi-
ness, faintness, indigestion, nervous
prostration or the blues, should take
immediate action to ward off the seri-
GUS consequences, and be restored to
health and strength by taking Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Any
way write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,
Mass, for advice. It's free and always
helpful.

is VALID AND CONSTITUTIONAL

Since the Supreme Court of the
United States has dismissed the
Scale case from Georgia, as an
nounced in the press dispatches,
it is practically settled that Geor-
gia's law against the operation of
freight trains on Sunday is valid
and constitutional. Scale, who is
master of trains for the Southern
Railway, was fined 81 900 in Ha-
bersham Superior Court for per
hitting a freight train to run
through that county on Sunday.
This decision was sustained by
the State Supreme Court, and the
railroad appealed to the United
States Supreme Court on the
grounds that the Georgia law vic.
lated the constitution of the
United States in that it interfered
with interstate commerce. At
tOrney General Hart made the
point that the court was without
jurisdiction. This was sustained
and the Scale case was dismissed

|1HE MAsOHlg GRAND LODGE.
Meertaa WILL Bic HELD INicHsALEsroN
ON DECEMBER ii AND f2.

A great event in Masonic circles
will be the meeting of the Grand
Lodge, which will be in session in
Charleston ON Tuesday and Wednes-
day, December IL and IL. This will
be the one hundred and thirtieth an
nual meeting of the most worshipful
grand lodge of Ancient Free Masons
of South Caroline, and will prove of
great interest to members of the va
ricas lodges, beth in the city and
State.
The sessions will be held in the
Masonic Temple and will be we'll at
tended by local Masons and various
brethren. According to the rules of
the grand lodge the meeting can only
last two days, and all business will
have to be transacted in that time.
As usual, the railroads will grant a
special rate and the tickets will not
be limited toathe two days, so that
delegates can remain in Charleston
several days after the adjournment
of the lodge.
1t is expected that about $50 dele
gates and visiting Masons will at
tend the meeting of the Graud Lodge,
representing every section of the
State, and some will take their fami-
lies with them. The rates on the
railroads will be reasonable and will
not be limited to members of the
Grand Lodge. This will enable the
delegates to take their families with
them at the same rate as paid by the
Masons.

HEPIASOpHS HID 4 HAPPY time.
MEMBERS OF ocoNEs cONcLAvE GAVE
BANQUET LAST THGasDAy aiaHk
Henderson Mail, November 80. |

IAhuoIbOn MALI NOVemUor oV. g,
oconee Conclave of Heptasophs,
Walhalla, celebrated the fifth ami
versary of its organization last night
with 'possum sapper, at which prac-
tically all the members and number
of out-Df-town members of the order
we're present. A splendid supper
was served and the evening was most
delightfully."- spent.
The members had been securing
the mountains for 'possums for the
past two weeks and had secured a
sufficient number to feed the go or
70 persons who were present. But
'possums we're not the only eatables
on the tables, for there were oysters,
turkey, ham and beef, and all manner
of other substantials, the whole
flanked by many flagons of an amber
colored liquid, which was referred to
on the menu as "Seven Star Water"
Mayor James Thompson, archon
of the conclave, presided with grace
and dignity.
Fred. Schroeder and ID .A.Smith, Jr.,
directed the serving of the feast, and
discharged their duties most admir-
ably and satisfactorily.
Addresses were made by John b.
Sloan of Rock Hill, L. L. Littman of
Anderson, and DR.. j. HI. Crawford
of Martin, Ga.
Col. John w. Cruett, of Bslti-
more, Supreme Organizer of the
Heptasophs, was expected to be pres
ent, but telegram was received
from him saying that he had been
hurt in the wreck in which President
Spencer, of the Southern Railway,
was killed. A telegram was sent
him expressing regrets on account OF
his absence and congratulating him
on his escape from death.
After the supper some degree
work was engaged in. The Wal
halla Heptasophs understand the
degree work thoroughly, and the
visitors were treated to things they
had never seen or even dreamed ot
before. The memory of it will not
soon be effaced.
The affair was well planned and
superbly managed throughout, and
reflects great credit on those who
were directly in charge of it as well
