to other sections that be without
roads sufficient evidence of a salts

good roads, good schools, good

adjacent sections would soon catch
the spirit. which would spread geo.
metrically throughout not only our
good old Williamsburg county but
our noble State itself.
Mr. Editor, l appeal to you for
space sufficient, together with the
foregoing, to admit my enthusiasm
based upon the supplement l have
already obtained as free to county
roads from some of her citizens, al
ready amounting to several thousand
dollars worth. put in their respective
sections and to-day stands to back
up this theory.
By the way,I have landed this past
month in shape of certified amounts
that will total for two roads the nice
little sum of $4,000 in money. not
for chaingang, but to employees per
day.
must conclude this article, and,
although ! feel like l have just be-
gun the inspiring theme, await pa
tiently for anyone to criticise, Why
may we not at least hope that our
honorable, body of delegates will
make it lawful that we may tax our
selves for roads like as is done for
schools?" Very respectfully;

cording to law Quarterly reports),
but, in order to develop the para
mount interest of our county's re-
sources as regards all that good
roads touch, there is needed a more
associated advice as to how we may
not expect the small, inadequate sum
of approximately $4,000 commuta-
ton tax to ever build and maintain
something like 400 miles of county
public routes, and $4,000 to build
and repair 5000 lineal feet of swamp
and river bridges, to say nothing
about over 1000 ditch bridges which
by all means should be provided
with culverts, and in itself would
cost at least $4,000. Why should
our intelligence linger and suffer
ourselves to stand so deluded by
fallacy? We know that it takes any
where from $1,000 to $4,000 per
mile to build our roads properly
even when the material can be had
at or near its side, and considerably
more when not, which would figure
$4,000 needed for this purpose
alone; and yet we have men who
seem very interested in their roads
that look me in the eye and say: /
pay my tax. now give me my road. "
Oh, my! if these people would con-
slider how small this road tax is as
compared with the required amount
of work they demand, then there
would be some hope of our Legisla-
ture making provision whereby they
could pay something in order to get
something. But. alas! on account of
this lack of thoughtfulness on the part
of citizens who, when they vote next

ALAsl POOR YoRICK.

great controversy is raging in Eng
land over "the Piltdown SKULL - which
appears to have belonged to an ancient
gentleman of simian tendencies. Some
Of the scientists declare that the brain
case shows that the owner of the skull
was a man whereas tho Jaw indicates
that he was a monkey. This differs
from some of our modern skulls, in
which both tho brain cavity and the
jaw show that the man is monkey.
DR.. A. Smith Woodward reconstructed
the skull from the discovered fragments
and arrived at one set of conclusions
Professor Keith built up the sknll in
another way and reached different con-
clusions. The workman who found the
skull drove his pick through its
roof and knocked out some of
tho teeth. This blow almost killed the
savants, but they revived sufficiently to
reel Off many miles Of theory. Some
of them arc convinced that the antique
gentleman Of Piltdowp is brother to
the man-like apes and kin TO the ape
like men, and they have designated him
as the "dawn man. It win be seen
that this has no reference to the man
who returns home at the twilight line
in condition that makes him "half-
brother to the ape,' and has his era.
by the household scientist. We find on
reading farther that the "dawn man "
does not resemble the "Neanderthaloid
paleolithic man. We admit that we
trembled lest this great crime should
be fixed upon Mr., Piltdown. We are
glad that he has proved an alibi and we
can only hope that it is not frame-up.

RoBBER CUTS sIRLoIN STEAK.
LEAVING CASH IN DRAWER

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 20-An
progressive longing for big, juicy,
tender, fragrant sirloin steak is be.
lieved to have been responsible for a
burglary that was committed in the
meat market Of John Anderson, 600
Sixth avenue s. early today. Mr.. An.
derson does not know whether a man,
woman or child was afflicted with the
longing for the steak, but he does
know that his safe was untouched, his
money in a cash drawer unnoticei,
ham, bacon, butter and canned meats
undisturbed. "My total loss is one
huge sirloin steak, the finest and best
I had in the shop" mourned the meat
dealer. "However, if it saved anyone
from starving to death shalt not re.
gret the loss.'' The steak was cut
off in manner that would indicate
that the robber was a skilled butcher.
