THE present road law requires five
days work from each citizen who is
liable. After the Saye law goes into
effect, each man liable to road duty
will have to pay three dollars. The
price of labor is a dollar day. Those
who work five days now, contribute
five dollars in labor. Those who work
under the Saye law will receive five
dollars in cash. Under the Saye law
the taxation on the individ-
ual is really two dollars less than it
is now. And three days paid labor is
worth two weeks of such labor as we
have been having.

YoRKVILLE. s. c.:
TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1908.

How many people in York county
believe that the real issue in this cam
raign hinges on rebuke to the au-
thor of the only road law worthy of the
name that the county has ever had? If
this were a fact, would it not be COM
mentary on the intelligence and prog
ress of York county, especially when
any and everybody knows that if there
is single really objection feature to
this law, it can be corrected?

- Berlin, July 81: The publica-
ton of the orders for the army ma
noeuvres in the fall Of this year, In
which nearly a million men will be
engaged in various parts Of the coun-
try, has aroused the most eXtraordi-
nary interest in civil as well as in mill
itary circles. The strength of the
army is to be increased for the time
being by no fewer than 269,742 men
from the reserves, who, with the
standing peace army Of 628,848 men,
will bring the total under arms az the
end of August up to S96,588, who will
fight tactically against each other,
corps by corps. Cavalry, artillery, in
fantry, engineers, motorists, balloon
lists, field telegraphists and telephon.
lists, cyclists and all the branches Of
the service which look after supply
and transport, intelligence and COM
municationS, are to undergo search
ing tests. The exercises which attract
most attention are naturally the i'm
perial manoeuvres in Alsace-Lor-
raine. as this will be the first time
since the war of 1870 that manoeu-
vres on such an extensive scale will
have taken place so near the frontier.
The Fifteenth and Sixteenth army
corps will there oppose each other In
mimic war and undergo severe tactl-
cal and strategic instruction under the
immediate eye of the emperor. Each
Of these corps Is to be made up OF
three divisions of infantry and divi-
sion OF cavalry with the requisite ar
tillery. The infantry regiments are to
consist Of three battalions Of 500 men
each. Two of these regiments will
form a brigade, two brigades divi-
sion and three divisions an army
corps, so that each corps will possess
28,S00 infantrymen, while the staff
will have at it's disposal for emergen-
cy a reserve battery Of artillery. The
cavalry division attached to each
corps comprises ten regiments. Some
instructive siege operations with at
tacks by heavy artillery on field for
tifcations such as happened during
the Russo Japanese war, are to be
executed. The garrison and coast ar
tillery are to undertake lengthy perl
DDS of defense exercises along the
coasts in conjunction with the navy,
Each battery has had $50 live shells
issued to it for shooting practice,

VENICE OF AMERICA.

"Venice of America is fourteen miles from Los Angeles.
 The most unique Beach Resort on the Pacific Coast.
 Among it's many attractions is the largest dancing pavilion in the world, the largest skating rink i'll the world and has the largest and finest bath house and plunge on the Pacific Coast. Open all the time.
 One of the advantages that Venice has over other Resorts is the fact that one can secure, at a most moderate cost, beautiful and attractive Villas and Bungalows, ranging from seven teen dollars and half to thirty-fve dollars a month including lights, wa ter and laundry. These Villas are sit uated on the Venice Canals, convent entity near to the ocean.
 Venice is also well supplied with first-class restaurants, at popular prices, and everything that goes to make up a high-class Seaside Resort.
 Those who wish to bring teams, will ind frst-class stable accommodations at moderate costs.
 Perhaps one of the greatest attrac- tions of Venice is it's equable clim ate. From May until November, tha thermometer hardly varies.
 To those who wish to secure a pleas ant summer vacation for moderate costs, Venice of America certainly hOuld be it. sgt
