can stand on the road, ruts will re-
suit and when these are ground down
dust forms and finally loose roadbed
results.
Keeping the roadbed we'll crowned
and smooth will hold tho moisture in
it so that it will pack hard.
Weeds must also be kept several
feet from the wheeltrack else they
will draw the moisture from the road
bed and thus loosen it up; this is
especially true in regions OF moderate
rainfall.
Trees should not be allowed to
shado the road as this keeps it too
moist on the surface after rains so
that travel spoils the surface.
The making of smooth roadbed
requires that when the soil is put on,
1t be laid in layers and not in piles.
When dumped in piles some places
Will be more packed than others and
there Will likely be a difference in the
density. while il laid on in layers this
will be avoided. Each layer should
be narrowed, or better yet, disked and
packed before the next one is laid
NO"''. IA Iiio way d BOOu TOduDeQ Is
secured from the first, while IL the
soil is just dumped on the road to be
leveled and packed by the traffic over
the road good roadbed will never be
secured
The best tool for keeping the road
well crowned and the surface smooth
Is the splitlog drag. This tool should
be used soon after a rain The soil
Is then loose and easily moved. The
drag moves but small amounts of soil
and smears it on the roadbed in thin
layers which is just what Is wanted.
1t cuts off any projections and fills
up any low places.
Where there Is standing water the
roadbed should be kept at least a
foot above the water surface and
eighteen inches is better. The nature
OF the soil and the length Of time that
the water stands along the road will
to degree determine how high the
roadbed must be above the water.
In dry-farming territory it is i'm
portant to keep the weeds away from
the roadbed and to keep the roadbed
well crowned and smooth

BROAD TIRES AND GOOD ROADS.

In a recent issue of The Page
land Journal that enterprising
editor advocates the use Of wider
tires for wagons on the high
ways. Taking the position that
Legislation is necessary, The
journal calls upon the represent
tatives of this county for an
opinion on the subject, to which
Mr.. j. Clifton Rivers responded: {:
Now, this brings squarely be-
fore us the whole subject of road
building and maintenance, and
as | see it, there will be no use
of Legislation along the line of
tire widths until we first get the
idea of building good roads. AS
lorg as a majority of our people
are contented with The guIl-iump.
'-get-out-if-you-can kind of
roads, with which a great part
OF country is blessed, any kind
of tire that will stay on the
wheel is as good as any other.
But when our people awake to
the fact that public roads are
the greatest index to the pros.
perity of and progressiveness of
a ~ com munity, county or coun-
try, and upon which the Judge
ment of nonresident as to the
value of property is based; when
our people realize that bad
roads, or the lack of good roads,
cost them yearly twice as greai
a tax in dollars and cents a.
their state, county and taxes
com blned; when they realize that
Eoads put them almost az
lain from their towns,

We are informed that an inter.
esting exhibit a. the State Fair
in Columbia was the machinery
used by Alligator Township in
building their excellent roads.
Charity begins at home, Alliga-
tor. We suggest that you bring
that exhibition right here; show
US how to use it; then lend US
the men, and if need be, the
money, to run it.

The SpIit-lou Drau-

The split-log drag has contributed
more toward the economic mainte-
nance Of the public highways than any
implement Of modern usage. It does
not require special acts of the legis-
lature, bond issues or extensive edu.
cational campaigns to make it avail
able as usually precedes construction
work. A drag can be built or pur-
chased for $50 and is easily operated
by anyone who can drive a team.

THE USUAL GERMAN ANSWER
{ Baltimore Sum-

German defense OF the execution of
Miss Cavel was naturally to be en-
nccted. But that put forward by the
German Under Secretary for Foreign
Affairs in singularly exaggerated and
nsincere. There was a worldwide
conspiracy" for the overthrow of the
German Empire, OF which Miss CaTel
was the active head, and Counties
British, French and Belgian soldiers
whom she assisted to escape are now
fighting in the allied ranks. Not
Great Britain, France and Russia, but
one little English nurse was shaking
the German Empire to its foundations
But why should not the two other wo-
men who wore charged with the same
Worldwide" conspiracy and with
furnishing Countless" recruits to
Germany's enemies be shot too? Why
suspend their sentence of death? They
may in reality be even more formida-
ole than, Miss Cavell, and Il they are
not shot promptly the structure Of
German power may fall in hear
around the cars of the Under Score
tary.
IF we arc to accept this explanation
as true. VIC find Germany trembling
for the first time since the war bcgar
and trembling for fear of Il woman
It reminds one of the ludicrous ter.
ror shown ty an elephant at the sigh;
Of a mouse.
The fact is the German excuses If
this case prove the very thing which
has been alleged against the German
military mind. 1t is merciless and TN
human. It is impervious to the con.
! siderations and the influences which
home the ordinary mind. And il
seems impossible for it to understand
the force of the human feeling which
is powerful in nearly all other coun,
tries today.

OVER 1000 KILLED.
Many Bulgarian Soldiers Killed by
Bombardment of Dedeagatch.

London, Oct. 25.-The bombardment
of Dedeagatch caused the death OF
ten civilians and over 1000 soldiers
and there also were a large number
of soldiers wounded.
A large proportion of the military
casualties, was in the barracks which
housed the Fortieth Bulgarian regl-
ment.
The barracks were crowded with
soldiers, who were preparing for their
meal when the bombardment was OPP
ened at 1 o'clock with accurately aim
ed shells, which demolished the bar
racks, burying the occupants in the
ruins.
Troops engaged in digging trenches
around the town also sustained very
heavy losses.
Fires caused by the exploding shells
destroyed the railway station and sur
rounding buildings, doing enormous
damage. 1t is stated that the entire
loss from the bombardment. which
lasted four hours, wifi be several NIL
lion pounds.
Tho bombardment was directed by
aeroplanes, which flew over the town
throughout the afternoon twenty
warships participated. The Bulgarlans
are now engaged in preparing de-
Tense works on the surrounding noun
tains.
Porte Lagos, was fercely lombard
ed by eight warships Thursday ana
again on Friday.

PINCH OF HUNGER
IN kAISER'S LAND.

AS was stated in the Gazette Mon
day, there are many evidences that
the food situation has already become
critical in Germany. Stories have
come out Of the kaiser's land OF wo-
men waiting all night in line for OPP
portunity to buy q scrap of meat and
a little lard, of riots caused by the
price of butter being marked up to
impossible prices-troublcs not loca!
in nature, but so widespread as to
indicate that the Berlin government
will have a more serious battle WITH
the foe Of hunger within than the
armed foes without.
The Richmond Virginian in speak
ing of present conditions says:
The central empires nave waged a
valiant and victorious fight on many
widely separated fronts, and VIC dc
not need to defend their cause to ad.
mire their valor.
But they are waging war against
the whole world. With all their prep
arations for lonw continued hostilitles
they failed TO take into account the
fact that their enemies would have
Ghe world TO draw from, in food as
well as in munitions, while they wollld
be forced to &c entirely se!f-reliant.
