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

There are now only foul states II
the Union that have not enacted law
providing for state aid for good road
work. One of these states is Soutf
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 its 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.
900, 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 1000 900,
North Carolina spent So, $3.50, 900. Geor-
gia, $2.50O.000; Alabama, $2.795, 900:
Mississippi. $2,855, 900: Tennessee.
$4,000, 900; Texas, $3,75O.OOO In fact,
the only states on the list which are
not above South Carolina in road ex-
p%enditures are the undeveloped states
OF Arizona. Nevada. New Mexico,
Utah. and Wyoming; and the diminu-
tive commonwealth OF Delaware,
Rhode Island, and Vermont.
The total Of all surfaced roads In
South Carolina is 1888 miles. In this
respect. the state compares favorably
with many. since it's percentage of
surfaced roads is 1913, making it the

Larceny of a Cow.

In Case No. 1875 State Of
New Mexico, appellee, VS.. Sam
Rucker, appellant, on appeal
from Rio Arriba county, H. S.
Bowman, assistant attorney gener-
al, for appellee, and J. H. Crist,
for appellant, the judgement of
the lower court affirmed. The
opinion is by Chief Justice Rob-
erts, Justice Hanna and Parker
.concurring.
The appellant was tried in the
district court OF Rio Arriba coun-
ty at the June term of last year
upon indictment charging him
with the larceny of one head Of
cattle, the property Of Cipriana
Pena. The indictment alleged
that the cow in question was
branded &C. |. P" on the left
side. Appellant was found gull
ty by the jury and sentence / to
serve a term in the state peniten-
tiary and to pay a fine to the
state. From this judgement APP
peal was taken, the appellant
arguing hat the evidence was
insufficient to sustain the verdict
of the jury.

thirteenth state in the Union in per
centage of surfaced roads. Three
states, Ohio, Indiana and New York
contain nearly One-third of all the sur
faced roads in the United States, with
a mileage of 77,544.
New York has spent $50, G3S, 729 on
its roads and is spending $4,000. 00O
more on them in 1915. This, it should
be understood, is the amount spent by
the state government and does not in
clude the huge expenditures by local
units.-Clemson College Bulletin.

REPORT DECREASE OF CRIME
British Prison Commissioners Have
Recently Made Report That viii
Be Read With interest

The prison commissioners of Great
Britain have just published their an
nual report for the year ending March
1915. The decrease of persons who
were received under sentence during
the war year OF 1916 is another
proof that employment iH the great
cure for crime. The total number of
persons convicted amounted to only
ll4.2S3. including debtors and those
committed by courts,martial. a de-
crease of 1890 as compared with the
year Of 1894. and the lowest num-
Der Of convictions on record The
greater part OF this decrease is at
tributed to circumstances connected
with the war. Enlistment has given
employment to many Of the habitual
petty offenders. the restricted hours
for the sale of intoXicants has un-
doubtedly decreased the amount OF
crime, while the great demand for
well-paid labor has given employment
to the many.
A short time after the outbreak OF
the war orders were issued whereby
many of the prisoners who had pre-
viously served in the army were al
lowed remission of sentence on recon-
mendation of the military authorities,
with view to rejoining their com

VICTIMS OF APHASIA.

The results of the election last
week are far-reaching. The muzzling
Of some loquacious individuals who
have been making themselves heard
during the past few years is realiz-
ed with much satisfaction in all sec
tons of the country. A cotemporary
in this connection observes that it
looks as if several personages con-
spicuous in the recent campaign had
been stricken dumb by the result Of
the election. One Of them heretofore
noted for perennial verbosity, has
been able to articulate only five
words-"I have nothing to say
during the last few days, and an
other, the volublc Mr.. OLeary, ap-
pears to have had paddock put up
on his lips.
The American people love fight
er and the hero of Oyster Bay is one.
But they admire even more a man
who can control his tongue. One of
the lessons Of the recent campaign
is the futility of political billigs-
gate and the folly of violent and
bitter denunciation. Making due al
lowance for the influence of the Eu-
ropean war upon excitable minds,
one can see how much stronger Colo
rel Roosevelt could have made his
case had he been master of his ton
que and not its slave.
This lesson of the campaign is
platitudinous but valuable. 1t re-
peats the old truth that he is might

A fine of five dollars is provided IN
such cases. Bringing liquor into the
