R.NF. Brown. state highway engin-

of relocating the Greenville Hender-.
vile highway at the top of the o
tain near the South Carolina line.
In an interview with a Hustler re-
porter Mr.. Brown said" / have sue
coed in locating a maximum grade
of 5 per cent from Kings Creek to
through the lowest gap of the noun
tain and in most every case on the
sunny side of the mountain assuring
very little wash of the natural soil.
/ have noticed some excellent work
on the part of the county chain gang
as they have already graded two mile
OF the highway from Tuxedo near
the cotton Mills there to the top of
the mountain.
he maximum grade of the new road
after leaving the top of the noun
tain will hardly go over 4 and one
quarter per cent. / understand that
II took a five percent grade .on the
GreenVille county side of the noun
tain n counting to the top. They
have not yet begun work, but will
do 81 in a few weeks.
With favorable weather the Hender-
son county chain gang Should not
take I've three months at the least
in completing this magnificent high
way into HendersonvilIe It is notic-
able in the new width of the road.
The old road in many places was
toe narrow for vehicles to pass each
other and have been told that mar
row escapes occurred from this reas-
son. The road that is now being
built lis b great Improvement and
at any place two vehicles or auto
mobiles can pass. each other. It will
be a modern county road.,ip evry
respect.
The new GreenviIle road crosses
the mountain at a very low a
about a mile westN,of Basin Springs.
There is a good deal of natural sand
clay surface on this road which will
aid in keeping the road in fine con-
dition all the time. Where it is prac-
teal there will be sand placed on the
road, however the main object is to
get a good smooth surface of natural
soil and the best grade. This object
we have secured so far and it will
only be a short while before the miss

After Two Dozen Baths.
Since 1t was discovered that not only

Bohemia, contains nearly all the radi-
UNI hitherto found in the world, but
that the springs of Joachimsthal hold

Gus cures have been accomplished, nu-
merous capitalists and companies have
applied for concessions enabling them
to make use of the springs on large
scale. But the government has for the
time being rejected all applications and
Is about to build an extensive kurhaus
at its own expense which will be open
ed this year.
Joachimsthal has six springs, Of
which three are proved to be radio
active. They pass through mineral
strata containing radium and are radio
active the moment they come to the
surface.
Pipe Line For Water.
As the state owns the mines where
the springs appear 1t has long since

The government kurhaus will have

who has studied the effect of radium
on diseases for several years.

baths a day, but as 1t cannot be ap-
piled pure, the effect being too strong.
about 1000 baths are available. The
springs are cool. and the water will
have to be warmed before use.
Many Cures Reported.
Very primitive baths have been in
use in Joachimsthal for very long
time, as their healing effect was well
known In all the country around long
before any one heard of radlum. The
primitive bathing and drinking cures
have been most effective In curing
rheumatism, neuralgia and nervous
diseases. A patient who had kidney
complaint was cured, and lame child
