LET'S no OUR PART.

We ask a careful reading of the
article entitled "No Illiteracy in
South Carolina in 1920" by Mrs.
chairman of the department of edo
cation OF the South Carolina Fedora
ton of Women's clubs. 1t is in the
nature of a call for volunteers to en-
list in the fight on Ignorance. In adj
dition to the splendid night school
at the Lancaster Cotton Mills, there
should be other such schools in ev-
cry school district in the county. OF
course the work in the rural districts
is more difficult, for the people are
scattered over miles Of territory, but
surely there is in every community

The guarantors of the 1916 lyceum

ATTENTION TEAMSTER|S
Do Not Overload Your We
hicles and Damage the
Roads

With the coming of the winter
months when people will be trans
porting agricultural products to the
market, it is thought we'll that the
people in general be cautioned about
the weight of load that should be haul
ed over macadam and gravel roads
in order that the roads may not Be
badly damaged.
FOR wagons having tires 2 inches
and less in width not more than 1000
pounds including weight of wagon
should be hauled;
For wagons having tires 2 ia in
cheS in width not more than 48OO
pounds including weight of wagon
should be hauled;
For wagons having tires 3 inches
in width load of 5000 pounds may
be hauled, and
For wagons having 4 inch tires
1900 pounds may be hauled.
The following rule may be used to
calculate the amount that should be
hauled on any wagon. cart, automO-
bile truck or any other vehicle. Ths
load should be so limited that the
bearing of the load on each wheel
including the weight Of the vehi:le,
all of which is transmitted through
the axle. shall not exceed 500 pounds
per inch of tire fors tires 2 inches in
width or less and for tires in excess of
2 inches in width the limit shall not
exceed 500 pounds per inch width of
tire for 2 inches Of width plus 400
pounds for. each additional inch of
width.
There is no penalty attached to the
weight of the load that may be haul
ed over the roads, but people should
be public spirited enough not to want
to damage the roads and should not
haul more than the limit when 1t is a
known fact that such action on their
part is rapidly tearing up the roads.
The various counties have gone to.
considerable expense to put the rordsE
in proper condition for winter traffic
and all county authorities will deeply
appreciate cooperation on the part Of
the public using the roads.
