Fulfilled his expectations,

SOUTH CAROLINA ROAD COST
State is Far Behind Most Others in
Amount Spent for Improvement
OF lts 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.
100000 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 $780,
258,761 and Iowa spent $11. $4,000. Nor
does South Carolina compare well
with even the other southern states.
As against this states 100000,
North Carolina spent $3,930,O00. Geor-
gia, $2,500000; Alabama, $2,795, 900;
Mississippi, $2,s55, 900; Tennessee,
$2,5OO,0O0; Texas, s3.750,0O0. 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 commemorative Of Delaware,
Rhode Island, and Vermont.
The total Of all surfaced roads in
South Carolina is 4,8SS miles. In this
respect, the state compares favorably
with many, since it's percentage Of
surfaced roads is 17.S, making it the

Double Cause for Tears.

A favorite limerick is brought to
mind by the following tale from the
Orient: W
Timur-lenk. the Tartar invader, was
very ugly and, catching glimpse Of
himself In the mirror, he burst into
tears. The court jester began weeping
also and kept it up long after his mas
ter had stopped.
Timur looxed at him in astonish-
ment. Il wept with reason" he said,
at beholding my own ugliness--I, the
lord Of so many lands. But do not
understand why You should thus de-
spair."
III you, my lord" replied the Jester,
"wept for two hours after seeing your.
self in the mirror for an instant. is It
not natural that l, who see you all
day long, should weep longer than

the Moors, and the following century
the two countries effected an alliance
which has existed unbroken during the
succeeding 700 years, save for such
sporadic Interruptions as when Ma
poleon forced the little kingdom to de-
clare war against the island empire.

Lisbon, are pleasure-loving people.

as fierce. Horses are seldom IL ever
sacrificed in the Portuguese trocade-

Lisbon is an even greater might

pearing at their busiest usually at 3
a. m. The principal thoroughfares are

to such practices as breaking horses
in the streets and singeing pigs in the
main avenues OF trade He also pro-
tested against keeping pigs alive in
the streets 'or tied to the DOORS"
while he thought it advisable to put
an end to the custom of allowing dead
animals to lie for indefinite periods in
the streets.
There are about 100 journals pub
lished in Portugal, the majority of
these being of a political nature, and
many of them are owned by the lead
ers OF the various political parties.
1t has been said that IF Lisbon
turns Turk tomorrow all Portugal will
wear the turban," SO when the mon
archy was overthrow in 1910, after
100 persons had been killed and 500
wounded in the capital, King Manuel
taking refuge in England, it was a
matter of course that the rest of the
nation would quietly acquiesce in the
new order Of things. Portugal today
has much the same outward form Of
government as our own. Each par
Lament is supposed to last three years;
senators are elected for six years, and
presidents for four years. The head
OF the government receives $4,000 a
year. Money, however, is reckoned
chiefly IN refs. and, therefore, even
q day laborer's wages is sweet to the
ear, for it takes 20 reis to make a
penny.
Portugalis transcendant contribu-
ton to world history was the COLOMBIA
tion Of Brazil, the largest nation in
South America and the third largest
in the Western hemisphere. While
Brazil was discovered by Columbus
companion. Pinzon. and formal possess
sion taken by him in the name of
Spain, Cabral landed in 1900, a year
later, and proclaimed it Portuguese
territory. Portugal settled the coun-
try and ruled it until 1922 when, un-
der the leadership of the Portuguese
prince. Dom Pedro. independence from
the mother county was declared.

Quitting the girl graduate for the

include providing her with one pretty

the variety in dresses of this kind, but
among them all none more suited to

simple, cool-looking and graceful
model which is shown in the picture.
The straight-hanging skirt is merely
four lengths of the silk stitched to-
gether and hemmed. It is gathered

are turned down so that only one

skirt out from the figure, as fashion
demands, as well as to ornament it.
To add the charm sof daintiness to
the toilette. or to make plain blouse
or dress more attractive, or merely
to provide careful and pretty finish,
is the mission of neckwear.
