Per cent.

The discovery of a large bed Of
cement gravel near Stateburg is a
hint that the public road from this
city TO Stateburg should be trans
formed into a first class highway. The
discovery of this supply of unexcelled
road material, if followed by the
building of a good road from the
source of supply to the center of the
county, will go a long way toward
solving the good road problem for
Sumter County. With a good road, 4
traction engine, could be used to-
transport the gravel to the point it is
needed at a minimum cos,, and sum-
ter county would soon have a first
class system OF public roads through
out the county. Cement gravel has
stood the test of time and hard usage,
and road builders regard it as one of'
the very best materials to be obtain
ed. So highly is it estimated that
thousands Of car loads of it have been
shipped to all parts of the South from
the gravel deposits near Augusta, Ga.

WONDER IN HEALING ART
only -Four Days for the Renair nj
Broken Bonc-Dr. CarreI OF Rookie
fcllcr Institute for Medical Raso.,.o.I,
Makes Predictions.

New York, Jan. 3.--That the wear
1913 may see the marvel of broken
bones repaired for use within fo,,r
days and wounds healed within ono
"aE IS forecast by Dr. Alexis CarreI
OF the Rockefeller Institute for Med
zeal Research who last year won the
Nobel prize for medicine. DR. Carre,
Is now in Europe about to return to
MS work after having been to Stock
holm to receive the Noble prize Tho
announcement OF his marvellous mo-
ulcuons appears in the current issue
OF the official organ of the RockefeIler
| Institute.
While it now requires some montbs
for the repair of a broken arm or leg
and often weeks for the healing of a
cutaneous wound DR.. Carroll believes
that these healing processes can he
accelerated wonderfully by the growth
OF connective tissue by artificial
means. He has been conducting ex-
periments since 1907.
Aided by knowledge that growth of
the body is dependent in, many re-
spects on the more or less mysterious
activities of some of the ductless
glands-the thyroid for instance-he
applied mixture of thyroid extracts
and macerated portions Of other or
gans OF the body to cutaneous wounds.
He found the experiments to bear
out his belief that if the rate of the
reparation of tissues were activated
10 times only a cutaneous wound
would heal in less than "a hours and
fracture of the leg would be cured
in four or five days.
Continuing with more radical ex-
periments on live animals with the
use of an extract from emboyonicaI
tissue he found this increased the
growth 40 timec. Experiments with
various other extracts Of tissues show
ed healing powers ranging from three
to 40 times greater than normal
plasma.
Applied to bones he found that
pulps made of thyroid glands produced
a pronounced thickening which ac-
CELEBRATED the reparation process.
