The Comet In Seclusion.

Halley's comet, it is said, has gone
into seelusion for about a month, and
ldurlog that time will be shielded
from mortal eyes by golden veins Of
sunlight. This announcement Is
made by Prof. Edwin B. Frost, direc-
tor Of the Yerkes Observatory, IN
Wisconsin.
The reason for the retiring OF the
comet is that it is so nearl y ln a
line between the earth and the sun
that it cannot be seen against the
bright background. There is a strong
probability, too, according to the
Professor, that the tail Of the comet
viii be long enough to enNelop the
earth on May Is.
"We have just about given up try
ing to observe the comet for the
present. he declared, the other day.
E1It is so close to the sun We can't
do anything with it. When will it be
visible again9 Well, about April 5,
I think; but then it will appear III
the morning sky, whereas, hereto
fore, we have seen il, in the evening
sky.
"Now, unless the tail lessons in
length much faster than it has grown
it will easily encompass the fourteen
million miles between the earth and
the comet on May Is. The sky of
that night should be filed with fine,
luminous display. In fact, We Will
all be bathed in the comets tail, as
it were.''
A dispatch from Fresno, Ca, the
Professor was informed, "says that
Prof. Baungardt contends that Fres-
no will be turned toward the comet
on May Is, and consequently that If
the tail touches amy part Of the
searth it viii touch there. Is that cor
rect t9'
Eyes, 7 think 50. The comet will
sweep over rs at s p. m. Of our time,
however, and thus we shall probably
have better display here than they
will have, there"

A Tough Job.

The professor in the agricultural
college was lecturing to his class upon
the wonderful advance Of science IN
utilizing the so-called waste products
of nature. "Without taking into ac-
count" he said, "the work of our
'wizards,' who can convert the
thorny cactus into an edible plant,
effect a permanent change in the col
or, size and taste Of a berry or any
other kind Of fruit, and all within
the space Of a few years, chemistry
has shown us that the sage-brush
and other weeds heretofore consld-
cred worse than useless contain val
liable substances which can be ex-
tracted in sufficient quantity to pay
for raising them.
"Our most advanced Investigators
are coming rapidly to the conclusion
that there is nothing useless IN na-
ture, and that everything that grows
or exists can be pressed into the ser
vice Of mankind
"Then, professo: ," enthusiastic
caIly exclaimed one Of the boys in
the class, "perhaps they'll find a
use some day for the Ben: Davis ap-
ple!"-Youth's Companion.

correspondent writing

4 correspondent writing 10 rs
states. ''lndiana has established a
very excellent system Of free roads
by issuing bonds for the cost, these
; bonds being issued serially, anu run
from one to ten years or from one to
twenty years, that is, if a road costs
$1O,0O0-bonds are issued to that
amount in denominations of $500
each, payable each six months i'll May
and November. Taxes to meet the IN
terest and principal on these bonds
are levied the same as ordinary
taxes. Whenever a new road is to be
built a petition must be signed by
fifty or more resident free holders.
The County Commissioners then have
the proposed road surveyed and give
notice according to law by publlca-
ton and otherwise, and then order
the road built. Probably $20,O00.0OO
of such roads bonds have been IS
sued iii Indiana and they are bought
rather freely by the banks"
There are various plans to provide
funds for road building. The essen
tial is to get the roads without un-
due delay and to have them we'll and
economically built and under wise
financial restrictions. - Greenyille

Want Good Roads.

Spartan nburg county last yeal
spent nearly three times as much on
its roads as the Greenville county APP
preparation, and Greenville county
now is spending less than it did five
or six years ago, though prices of all
supplies and labor which go into the
building Of roads have Increased per-
haps on different articles 25 jer cent,
to rs per cent.
Greenville county leads in many
things. Why should it lag in good
roads, The following Southern States
since March 1910 have pledged the
following amounts for roads build
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1910-04-05

Our present policy Of moving pro-
ducts and supplies of the country
avaf Sand beds and bogs and rocks,
hills at three or four times the cosst
Of moving them over improved roads
is rank extravaganza, to say the least.
The people Of South Carolina have in
the past sacrificed untold millions in
in bad roads; but if asound road
policy is adopted, aud such money is
spent in each locality as the traffic
demands and warrants, and the work
is wisely directed, the wealth which
is now running to waste will be saved
for the enrichment Of our people, the
rural schools and churches and social
life will receive ar impetus which
they have never known, and the tide
of poulation will be reversed flowing
from the cities and towns back to the
farms.
What is there to prevent Green
vile with its location and start from
being good roads centre except lack
Of foresight and enterprise on the
the part of her citizens?
The South pays in cotton freights
and it comes out of the South
practically s50,0oO,000 annually. It
costs the farmer 88 cents per 100 lbs,
or $40 per bale, to get his cotton
70 market at Liverpool. Of this SO
cents it costs the farmer l6 cents
per 100 Lbs to get his cotton from his
farm to the nearest railway station
practically the same amount that II
costs to ship the bale from New
York to Liverpool. If ~mers could
but haul two bales where they now
haul one to the railway station, they
would on the cotton crop alone save
$4,5OO,OO0 annually, and in South
Carolina alone about half a milhor
dollars annually. Surely if oottor
alone is to be considered, it is vel
worth while to build permanent gooc
roads; but the price which could be
realized on perishable farm product:
in this State would also more THAI
pay for the cost of good roads. It |:
bad business of the rankest kind tx
: have roads where it takes sometime:
two mules to haul one bale through
deep mud holes and where vehicles
are racked to pieces and live stool
worn out.
