WATSON AND SAND CLAY ROADS
Former Supervisor Talks of His
Queer Experience i'm Building
RssS's 20 Years Ago.

l. E. Watson, an enthusiastic
good roads man from Florence, was
in Columbia yesterday in the fur
therance of a good roads bulletin
which he proposes to issue for gen-
eral distribution this fall and win
ter. Among other data he exhibit
ed at the State house some interest
ing cuts of sections of good roads
Dullt by him in Marion county some
twenty years ago, which are still
In good state of preservation.
These particular roads were con-
structed out of a sand clay mixture
and is best evidence of the lasting
quality of the method of road build
ing when the work is properly done.
MI. Watson has some amusing
stories which he relates about the
stubborn opposition which his idea
CT sand clay mixture met with
when he was county supervisor of
Marion county. In this connection
II is a curious fact that this coun-
~ mas just voted bonds for $780,
600 for the improvement of roads.

FERTILIZER WAR CONiINGo
American Chemical Company to In
wade v. G. Territory.

Ne" York, October SPECIAL:
Three naw fertilizer plants will be
constructed by the American Chemi-
cal Company during the next year
in the very he@rt of the territory
covered by the \iE Eginia-Carolina
Chemicau Company. One will be at
Savannah, Ga, where the company
has purchased 70 acres of land, and
should be completed early in 1911,
as the contracts have already been
let. The second will be at Will
mington, N. c., and the third at
Columbia, S. c.. Work on the lat
ter two will be begun as soon as
possible and the entire three should
be in operation by next summer.
Altogether the expenditures for
new construction will total some
thing like $1,0O0,00O, and as the
American Agricultural Chemical Co.
has working capital of approx
mately S,500,0O0, as shown by it's
recent annual statement, it is not
likely that the construction work
contemplated will call for new fl
nancing. While the American has
always been factor in the South
ern field, the move of building three
new plants simultaneously cannos
be taken otherwise than an aggres-
sive invasion of the preserves of
the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co.
An interest closely connected with
the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Com
pany tated tha: the Southern field

DILLON ON ROUTE
OF CHARLOTTE TO WILL
RMINGTON HIGHWAY.
There are Many Good Reasons Why
the Automobile Highway Be-
tween These Two Cities
Should Come TO
Dillon.

An article written by Mr.. Chas.
I. O'Ferrall to the Charlotte pa
pers has attracted the attention of
the promoters of the Charlotte to
Wilmington automobile highway,
and it is highly probable that an
auto party will leave Charlotte for
Wilmington via Dillon some time
this week. The party will be met
at Bennettsville by party of Dill
on autoists and escorted as far as
Chadbourn.
The Charlotte to Wilmington
highway seems to be an assured
fact and the route by Dillon is the
logical one. The editor of The
Herald was one of a party of auto
lists that made the trip from Char
lotte to Dillon last spring and the
actual running time Of 1873 miles
was a little over six hours. The
roads were in excellent condition as
far as Monroe, N. c., and the only
stretch of bad road was between
Monroe and Chesterfield. Chester
field is building sand and clay
roads, Marlboro has some of the
best roadstiin the State and Dillon
will probably issue bonds for good
roads. Thus in three adjoining
counties directly on the proposed
route the highway is already as
sured. 1t is Understood that the
road from Chadbourn to Whining
ton is in excellent condition and the
only improvements that will have to
be made are between Monroe and
Chesterfield and from the Robson
line to Chadbourn.
Dillon has al excellent opportun-
ity to capture the Charlotte to Will
mingto highway. The Herald will
have more to say on the subject
later.

SAYS THIS YEAR is 1918
Date of Christ's Birth Wrong,
Professor Lyon Holds.
TPY Telegraph 20 The Trihune. /

Cambridge, Mass, May 10.-After
years of investigation Professor David
Lyon, curator of Harvard's Hebrew mu-
scum, has satisfied himself that the date
OF Christ's birth is wrong. and that the
year 1910 should in reality be 1915.
The date of Christ's birth, and there
fore the beginning of the Christian Era,
is wrong" says Professor Lyon. 1T is
just three years late For almost two
thousand years the world has been tell
ing an untruth regarding the date The
data have been available, but the sacred
ness of the subject, the date of Christs
birth, seems to have kept scholars from
investigating.
King Herod died in $50 "A. L. G, in
stead of 753, according to prevalent be-
lief, and in accepting the latter date as
the beginning of the Christian era his
torians have erred. AS Christ is known
to have been born year before Herod' s
death, he was born in 749. We know
that Herod at his death divided his
kingdom between his two sons. Ancient
historians placed Herod's death at 1913,
and this date has been accepted as the
beginning of the Christian era, but it is
now proved that this occurred three
years previously
