FULTON HILL
ROAD OPENED
AuTolsTs FAILED TO HAVE I'M.
PRovEMENTs MADE.
City offIeiaIs Make Inspection Trip ! N
maehine0To Improve the
Roads.

While the improvements under way
on the Fulton hill by the Ohio Valley
Auto club were not completed. the
county officials have thrown open the
roadway to the public and taken down
the wire cable that the club closed
the roadway with some weeks ago.
Several accidents to autoists running
into the cable during the darkness
prompted the officials TO open the
roadway before the improvements
were complete.
The Ohio Valley Auto club needs
about $4,000 more money before they
Will be able to complete the improve
ments. The breakers have all been
removed from the road and Il is now
In fhir condition. but the association
hopes to have the improvements com
pleted before the winter months set
In. This oad Is one OF the most
traversed In this county by autoists
and unless the improvements are COM
pleted II will be almost impossible for
the big touring cars 10 climb the hill
during the rainy season. For this
reason the club Is making a hard
effort to raise the amount necessary
TO complete the proposed improve
emnts.

The Cash Payer.

Salisbury Post.
just at this time it is we'll to
discuss the question of paying
accounts. A merchant in the city
was short salesman in his store
Monday. He stated that he was
out collecting, that it took from
three to five DAYS to catch h lis
creditors, and then but q few of
them paid. The experience OF fthis
merchant is the experience Of
all OF them, and OF every man in
business where credit is allowed.
This does not speak we'll for the
honesty and integrity OF the peo-
pie, for when a bill is due it should
lie paid, or if the party who has
been INDUCED cannot do SO, he
should see the merchant himself
and have his account extended
and not wait until he sends a
man around at extra expense.
Did it ever occur to the average
man who runs an account that
it ls the cash payer who enables
the merchant to continue in bus
iness? With the cash he takes in
he meets his bills, pays his pas
tor, the teacher whoinstructs his
children, and every other thing
where ready cash is required.
The account may be good but it
will not pay any Of the merch.
ants bills.
The writer once collected for O
business concern. Several of it's
creditors were building homes Tor
themselves and pnt off settling
their accounts from time to time.
They said the bill is good; we are
through the accounts will be set
4led iu full. They were, alter a
year or more, but what about
the concern? The proprietor was
trying to build a home before the
accounts were paid he had failed
and with it went all his credit
and hundreds OF other accounts
that were never set tied. The men
who built homes, while they al
lowed the concern they owed to
fail, were partly criminal-not to
make the case stronger. Remem-
her, the man who pays cash il the
man who is pushing forward the
wheels of progress.

La caster Is. C.) News. n
One hundred and twenty years
ago George Washington set out
from Philadelphia, March 17th,
to make a tour of the Southern
States He used only one ret OF
horses. which made the journey
of l 1887 miles without any mis-
hap or interruption. The horses
were much reduced in flesh, but
kept up their spirits until the re-
turn to Philadelphia, July 9Th,
1891.
He planned his tour with mill
tary precision, visiting Freder-
icksburg. Richmond, Whining.
ton, Charleston aud Savannah,
returning Ivy way of Augusta, Co.
lumbia. and the interior towns
OF North Carolina and Virginia.
He arrived at each place on the
date fixed before before he began
his journey.
His object in making this tour
was to see the situation Of the
whole country and get better ac-
quainted with. the people. He
rode part ofthe time in h is
coach, but the greater part OF
the journey was made on horse
back. Two or three saddle hors-
ps were carried along with the
coach.
His plan was to rise early and
leave his resting place. About 8
to 10 o'clock he would call at
some house by the wayside and
get his breakfast. In Lancaster
county the bowl from which he
took his mush and milk was
kept for years in the family, and
some of them may have it now.
After his meal he gave a little
girl in the family the half Of u
dollar. We do not mean half q
dollar but the half OF a whole sill
yer dollar. In that day change
was made by cutting coins in
two pieces. The relic was turned
over to DR.. j. H, Carlisle years
ago and now it is in the museum
of Wofford College.
The above is from the Spar.
tanburg Journal. The editor of
the Greenwood Journal saw this
half dollar while he was living in
Lancaster 30 years ago. 1t was
in the possession. five remember
correctly, of Mr.. Andrew Mayer.
The older citizens of that day
pointed out the place near the
town where the President took
his breakfast and gave the half
dollar to the little girl. There is
q stream near the town upon
the banks of which he ate that
milk and mush.
