SOUTH CAROLINA ROAD COST
State Is Far Behind Most Others in
Amount Spent for Improvement
of Its Highways.

There are now only four states in
the Union that have not enacted laws
providing for state aid for good roads
work. One of these states is South
Carolina, the others being Indiana,
Mississippi, and Texas. These three
other states, however, are above South
Carolina in expenditures for road
work. Indeed, according to informa-
ton which has been received at Glenn
son college from the United States
department Of agriculture, this state
cannot boast of it's record in road
work and is considerably behind most
Of the other states of the Union in this
respect.
In 1914, South Carolina spent ST..
O0O,0 900 on road work, this money com.
ing from local funds Of counties, town
ships, and districts. There were no
expenditures by the state and local
units Jointly, or by the state alone.
In the same period, Indiana spent $13,-
258,761 and Iowa spent 81, 1863, 900. Nor
does South Carolina compare we'll
with even the other southern states.
As against this states 100000,
North Carolina spent $780, 200. Geor.
gia, $2,50o,000; Alabama, $2,795. 900;
Mississippi, 1856. 900; Tennessee.
$2,600.00o; Texas, $3.750,000. In fact.
the only states ON the list which are
not above South Carolina In road ex-
penditures are the undeveloped states
Of Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico,
Utah, and Wyoming; and the diminu.
tive commonwealth Of Delaware,

The total Of all surfaced roads in

respect, the state compares favorably
with many, since its percentage OF

Powder the hen with a good insect
chicks to the brood coop. The hen
should be busted every two weeks or
as often as necessary until the chick
ems are weaned. If lice become thick
on the chickens, or If they are trou-
bled with head lice," very little
grease, such as lard or vaseline, may
be applied with the fingers on the
head, neck, under the wings, and
around the vent.
Brood coops should be made so that
they can be closed at night, to keep
out cats, rats, and other animals, and
enough ventilation should be allowed
so that the hen and chicks will have
plenty of fresh air. The hen should
be confined in the coop until the chick
ems are weaned, while the chickens
are allowed free range after they are
a few days old.
Keep Brood Coops Clean.
The brood coop should be cleaned
at least once a week and kept free
from mites. If mites are found in the
coop, it should be thoroughly cleaned
and sprayed with kerosene oil or crude
petroleum. From l to 2 inches of sand
or dry dirt or a thin layer of straw
or fine hay should be spread on the
floor Of the coop. Brood coops should
be moved weekly to fresh ground, pre-
ferably where there is new grass.
Shade is very essential in rearing
chickens, especially during warm
weather; therefore, the coops should
be placed in the shade whenever pos
sible.
Chicks are usually left in the incu-
bator from "a to SO hours after hatch.
ing. without feeding, before they are
removed to the brooder, which should
have been in operation for day or
two at the proper temperature for re-
ceiving the chickens. A beginner
should try his brooding system care
fully before he uses it. After placing
the chickens in the brooder they can
be given feed and water. Subsequent

CHAPTER Viii.
The Jewel.

The Jewel.
There had been little rest for any
of the inmates of the Upton house dur
ing the night. Though they knew
right well that the Villistas regarded a
night attack with all the dislike of an
Apache, so that little was to be feared
from that source, no one could sleep.
To begin with, old Upton and John
Wilkes sat deep in consultation over
their rifle-butts in corner and would
not be disturbed. The other men sat
silent except for an occasional NUT
tered remark. Mrs. Fame was openly
fearful; Dorothy alone was collected
and reserved, unbending and unswerv-
ing in her clean-cut resolution that
something must be done.
That's all right daughter, to say
Something must be DONE The ques-
ton is: What? Aye, that's the ques-
ton! Isn't it, Wilkes?"
Wilkes nodded solemnly over a ouid
of plug tobacco that he was just abb
sorbing.
At eleven o'clock the first note came.
When the man came up the slope car
rying lantern on the end of a stick
Mr.. Upton was about to go forward to
talk with him when he was stopped
by the cautious old ex-deputy sheriff.
mo, you don't, sir. They'll git you
out there, an when the man carryin'
the lantern has got you in the circle of
light somebody back in the shadder II
shoot you down. Then when a COM
plant is made they'll say it was done
by accident, but that won't help you
none. You'll be deader. Tell him
to come up to the doorway so he'll be
in the light an not you"

OF the message. After a moment
Obispo turned to him again.
IF you wish to live, gringo," he said,
''see to it that my messenger takes a
letter from you to the house of Senior
Upton this night"
Obispo waved his hand in dismissal
and Kynaston was escorted back to
the little adobe house where paper and
pens were brought him. For few
moments Kynaston sat, tapping his
teeth with his penholder, thinking
over the situation, revolving in his
mind what he wanted to tell Upton
and how he should tell it. For he had
a message to send Upton that would
never get by his censors If they should
understand it; and his censors, more
over, would be everyone in camp who
could read.
He finally concluded not to attempt
to tell Upton of the intended attack
by Villa, but to confine his efforts to
intimating how an escape from the
house might be made with the ma
chine. After few meaningless intro
ductory sentences he wrote:
I am told that the accusation is made
against me that I have taken or con-
cealed the priceless Emerald Bell which
we captured when we took the federal
party prisoners.
OF course you know that know moth
Ing OF It. am told further that, If it is
restored, or positive information is given
which will lead to its restoration, I will
be released.
As to the repairs to the automobile that
we spoke of, I would take the machine
at once tc the United States, as no re-
pairs can be made here. You must take
the machine at once as the delicate
mechanism will ruin If kept here more
than ten-I wish I could write hours If
you know anything about the Jewel send
word. am firmly convinced that the old
priest who has turned up here either has
| 1t or knows where 1t is.
You can see what they are saying
about me across the border. They accuse
me of having stolen the accursed Bell. /
cannot imagine where it can be unless
the old priest has taken it. OF course
he has, but equally of course he will ney-
err acknowledge it.
1 fear that If they shoot me will have
lost more than my life, for this attack
on my honor will leave me in worse case

Then, senor," said the general,
there can be but one person who
knows about the stone. Either one of
the ladies must have seen the stone
when it was in your tent, or else
which is, of course, unbelievable
one of them has taken it"
"No-no!"
The voice suddenly rose to shrek;
the Mexican captain raised his hand
to guard his leader from the blow that
he thought was coming. Kynaston
dropped his hand.
Someone in your camp must know
the matter. Doubtless If any man en-
tered your tent while the ladies were
in your camp they have seen him. A
note to Senior Upton that I will send
by an officer will discover the mat
ter. You can tell him with perfect
truth that if the jewel is not restored
your life will pay the forfeit"
Wherever it is found? Do you
mean, general, if for instance l should
be able to prevail upon this blind
priest to restore it that l will be re-
leased?"
"Si--si! But mark, I must have
the stone in my hands before safety
is promised to Senior Upton"
A lieutenant had entered with a
hasty report which he whispered in
the ear of his commander in chief, and
had handed him paper. A pleased
smile stole across Obispo's face as he
read it aloud:
It is permitted to announce that tonight
the gallant General Villa will make an
attack on the American army. The gall
liant general will himself lead but a small
force in this first attack, and will then
await re-enforcements.
You will therefore join the main force
gallant General Villa refuses to disclose
his plans, but says ~ will be in Ell Paso
within two weeks
Kynaston could hardly believe his
ears. Was Villa really to attempt an
invasion of the States? What could
such a move mean but war, the war
he was sacrificing himself to avoid
The army must be advised, but how?
A murmur of approval from those
in the room had greeted the reading
