Augustus Road Loss
Appa ling.

Active developments in the roac
building bond issue campaign are
not expected before the latter part
of April but the undertaking is
viewed as the present subject of
overshadowing Importance in Au-
gusta county, and farm owners are
hunting up statistics for discussion
with their neighbors.
One such piece of matter thus
encountered is highly pertinent to
the business aspects of the question.
1t shows the immense cost of the
absence of satisfactory highways.
An extract from the article follows:
d" The Bureau of Statistics has as
certained that the average cost of
hauling on dirt roads in the United
States per ton per mile is about %
cents, and the average length of
haul 9.4 miles.
Leading writer's on highway en-
cheering state that the cost of haul
ing on broken stone roads, dry and
in good order, should be s cents
per ton per mile, and in France,
and Germany the average
cost of hauling is reported to be
about ten cents per ton per mile.
The roads of these countries are to
a large extent surfaced with broken
stone.
AGUsTA's PROD UcTs-
"a total of 10000 tons of pre-
duce was marketed from Augusta
county during the year 1910.
"Therefore it cost the farmers of
Augusta county S3l.2S to market
their produce over mud roads.
IF they had good macadam
roadi the same produce could have
been marketed for $40 800.

LAXATIVE FOR OLD
PEoPLE-"cAscARETs"
What Glasses are to Weak Eyes, Cas-
carets are to Weak BoweIs-A Ten
Cent Box Will Truly Amaze You.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
Jne might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and nat
nral tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The only
such tonic is Cascarets and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you sleep.

Gu pid and Mr.. Eelder.

Atlanta, Sept. 20. - A mysterious
bow Of baby-blue ribbon was found
this morning on the desk of Attorney
General Thomas S. Fielder, at the cap
itol. 1t was such a sentimental adorn-
ment as might have come from around
a box of candy, book of poems-or
even daintily wrapped pair of car
pet slippers if it had happened to be
Christmas time instead of September.
The one thing apparently certain
about the bow was that it had been
arranged by some surely feminine
hand.
The newspaper men at the capitol
pounced on the bow. Where did it
come from? We demand to know in
the name of the press" they inquired,
but the popular attorney general re-
fused to be interviewed. Nor has he
told yet where the token came from
The newspaper men have a theory
of their own. 1t is based on the fact
that Mr.. Fielder is a bachelor. They
figure, from the ribbon, that perhaps
the Leap Year club has just found out
how desirable and eligible a bachelor
the attorney general is. If any more
blue ribbons or billet-doux are found
scattered around the attorney gen.
erals desk, the newspaper men will
feel their suspicious confirmed.
