Spirit of Christ RuIes.-Men of
prominence in national politics believe
that the teachings of Jesus Christ are
more dominant in public affairs today
than when they entered active life, ac-
cording to answers to questions read
last Sunday before the Plymouth
League, of the Oak Park Congregation
al church, Chicago.
Two questions were sent to sixty
leading men of the nation by Bruce
Barton, president of the league, early
in December. One related to the dom
nance of the spirit Of Christianity.
The other question was: rs 1t an ad-
vantage or a disadvantage for pub
lie man to be known as processing
Christian"
One of the first to answer was Vice
President Sherman. ITO your first in
uuiry," said he, Il beg to answer that
it is my belief that with the progress
of education and civilization through
out the world, the spirit Of Jesus Christ
becomes more dominant, not only In
business or in politics alone, but in the
smaller affairs Of every day life.
In answering your second query, l
hate to believe, and l do not believe,
that it is advantageous to any man In
any calling to be a protesting Chris
tian. l am firm in the conviction that
the time will never come in this coun-
try when a man in high position Will
hesitate to speak frankly and freely to
such questions as you propound.'
Il believe it is a strong advantage for
a public man today to be processing
Christian" wrote Clifford Pinchot, chief
government forester. 1T gives him
confidence in himself and 1t gives
others confidence in him."
Others who answered the questions
expressing belief in the growth of
Christianity and its influence in public
affairs were: Woodrow Wilson, presi-
dent of Princeton university; DR.. Ly-
man Abbott and Speaker Joseph G.
Cannon.

THE Charleston News and Courier
never does anything by halves, and
when it attempts a special edition, II
generally produces something worth
while and we'll out Of the ordinary
Such an issue was the special jubilee
edition issued last Saturday. There
were fifty-two pages Of it and it COW
cred the growth and development Of the
city of Charleston up to date with a
thoroughness that is remarkable. Ac-
cording to the facts and figures pre-
sented. Charleston now has popula-
ton of 1853 and her business last
year aggregated more than ninety-four
million dollars. There has been an in
crease of 20 per cent, in her shipping
during the past year and an increase OF
25 per cent in her railroad tonnage
Special stories tell of the remarkable
development of the city along various
lines, and of the development Of the
state along particular lines. Altogether
the edition is a marvel Of excellence
in newspaper making and Is well CAL
culated to be Of immense benefit to the
city of Charleston, as we'll as to the
state of South Carolina.

MAcApAM NOT DURABLE.
MeekIenburs Begins to Question Econ
omy of System.


That the continued agitation
known as the good roads movement
will eventually introduce a compost
ton that will supplant macadam and
serve more as a permanent improve
ment, is the opinion of County Chair
man w. M. Long as well as a number
Of others who are interesting them
selves in the matter. A long and Wig
orous search has been made for a
composition containing qualities OF
endurance rather than Of beauty.
Nothing is much more lovely than a
stretch Of macadam road and nothing
Is less expensive so far as all material
that has come into practical use has
developed, but the life Of a macadam
road does not justify the expense
necessary in its construction.
Unless some system is adopted by
which macadam road can become
more of a permanent improvement
and do away with continuous repair
work, 1t is altogether probable that
the county will abolish 1t in the early
future. It has been found difficult to
secure such grades as were necessary
to keep the roads from washing away.
Consistent engineering has established
good roads on all the public highways
Of the county and hills have been re-
duced and low places built up, but
the roads cannot be constructed level
enough to keep them in repair.
The cost Of mile Of macadam
road approximates $4,000. A road
does not remain in good condition for
more than two or three years and
then demands an entirely new top
dressing. This brings on considerable
more expense and 1t has proven that
in the course Of only few years nec-
essary repairs approach the original
cost Of the construction of a mile OF
road. This expenditure is too lavish
in the estimation of number of
county officials to justify its continu-
ance. Something must be done to
bring about a cheaper road or more
expensive road that will last longer.
Numerous materials are being plac-
ed upon the market now that are de-
manding experiments. The city tried
what Is known as tarvira on the Pine
vile road to the boundaries Of the city
limits, but this has not proven alto
gether satisfactory. It was originally
hoped that this composition would
solve the problem. It is mixture OF
sand and tar and, properly placed, 1t
was believed generally that tarvira
would in the future replace the ma
terials now being used in the county
as we'll as the city. 1t was good
enough, apparently, for city streets
and in the county should result in a
luxury. Such has not proven the case,
but it is now generally hoped that In
the evolutions that are taking place a
material will be secured that will
serve as an improvement for all time.

record breaking prices at this season,
and there Is no question Of the fact
that 1t takes an. individual Of pretty
sound foresight to hold back seed for
which he can get so cents a bushel.
There are a great many farmers who

they are all laboring under strong
