OILING DIRT ROADS.

There are 2,333,000 miles of pub
lie roads in the United States, of
which only 262, 2,4O0 miles have any
kind Of .surfacing. In other words,
nearly 80 per cent of our roads are
dirt roads, and it will be quarter Of
a century, probably, before this per-
centage is reduced to rs. The great
road problem of the United States is
to grade, drain and maintain these
roads so as to make them of the best
practicable use at a minimum an
nual expense. Some progress along
ehese lines is evident, and in some
sections very satisfactory earth
roads have been built and are main
tanned in good condition, except for
a few weeks in spring, by intelligent
dragging. Another method Of main
tenance, originating in California,
is now being tried with more or less
success in number of the Central
States. This is oiling the roads. Its
purpose is to suppress dust; for in
so doing the road surface will remain
smooth longer than when the road
is dusty, and there is less mud form
ed in wet weather. But oiling roads
has to be done inteligently or it
will make conditions worse instead
of better. It is useless to oil a dirt
road which is not thoroughly drain
ed and properly graded. It is a
waste of money to oil a road which
does not have smooth hard surface
free from dust. If the surface is un-

A WONDERFUL SALE
OF STANDARD DRUGS

It is not often one has the privil--
ege Of buying standard patent medi-
cines and other druggists goods at
reduced prices, but this very thing
can be done in Abbeville now and
for the next few days as you will
see by the big advertisement Of the
Bowden-Simpson Drug company on
page two. The prices on some ar.
ticles are much lower than the whole
saler's prices, while all articles listed
are reduced anywhere from is to;
so per cent. 3.
You will recognize the names on
most Of the patent articles, and read.
lily see that the reductions are genu-
inc.

even, oil collects in shallow depres-
sions and softens the surface so that
after the first heavy rain the travel
tends to make mudholes at these
places. If there is dust on the road,
the oil combines with the dust to
form sort of mat, which the travel
over it quickly breaks up into large
flakes or scales. If the road is in
proper condition to receive the oil
and the rikht kind Of oil is used, the
oil percolates into the pores of the
earth for a depth of several inches,
sealing them with an asphaltic bind
ing material which unites the surface
into a tougher mass than the original
surface. The oil cannot make the
road any harder, for only stone or
gravel will accomplish that, but it
will prevent the displacement of the
earth particles under any loads which
an earth road is adapted to carry.
If the oiled surface is Immediately
covered with thin layer of clean,
hard sand, the travel will net dis
turb the oil and the travellers will
suffer less inconvenience. The right
kind of oil should be used, for there
are some kinds which act as lubri-
cants and ruin a road instead of inn
proving it. This kind Of mainte-
nance of earth roads is proving so
successful in the Central States that
the Illinois State Highway Commis-
sion has recently issued for free dis
tribution a profusely illustrated bull
letin telling how to do it and what
things to avoid doing. s

THE CORN AND PIG
CLUBS IN ABBEVILLE

Mr.. L. L. Baker, the agent sent
out by the Government and Clemson
in the interest of the Corn and Pig
Clubs in the State, made his first
visit to Abbeville last week and took
a look at the stock in the county. He
made several trips over the county
in company with County Demonstra-
tor J. E. Cheatham, and he expressed
himself as much gratifed by the in
terest taken by the clubs and as
pleased with the number of very fine
pigs being raised by the club men,
bers.
Mr.. Baker urges all the Pig Club
boys and girls to take their stock to
the State Fair which will be held
in Columbia the last of October.
Many handsome cash prizes are Of
fered, bith by the fair association,
and by the American Berkshire As
sociation, and by the Duroc Associa-
ton.
The work among the Corn and Pig
Clubs has grown in the past year,
there being now thirty-three coun-
ties with pig clubs, and forty-one
with corn clubs with a total men,
bership in the two clubs of twenty
thousand and fifty boys and girls.
This work teaches boy the care of
live stock, the value of marketing,
and stirs within him the longings for
education and q better and happier
farm life.
Mr.. Baker says that Abbeville has
some Of the finest hogs that he has
seen in the state.

DEFINITE RECORDS OF
ECONOMIC VALUE OF ROADS

It is often difficult to make farm
ers believe that good roads are of
financial value to them. They agree
readily that good roads are desirable
as a means of making rural life less
narrow. They agree that good roads
make it easier for children to 60 to
school, for the doctor to reach the
farm, and for all hands to meet for
religious and social purposes. But
many of them say that it is mere
theory" to claim any direct finan-
cial results from road improvements.
Now theory" if true, is just as
helpful as are facts, and in this case,
it is easy to show how facts support
theory. The facts can be obtained
with the help of officials of the rail-
ways shipping farm products out of
a district before its roads were i'm
proved and after the Improvement.
A specific case in Virginia may be
taken as an illustrator. The figures
were collected by George P. Cole
man, state highway commissioner.
Before the roads, in one of the coun-
ties of that state had been improved,
the largest amount of farm and for
est products shipped out of the coun-
ty in any one year was $4,000 tons.
In 1909, the amount of dairy pro-
ducts. shipped was $4,000 pounds.
During that year 40 miles of road
were improved at an expense of
100000. In 1911, two years after
the improvement, $1,000 tons of
farm and forest products and 273,-
900 pounds of dairy products were
shipped. The increase was 45 and
140 per cent respectively in these
two classes of products. The in
crease in wheat shipments was So per
cent, in tobacco 81 per cent and in
lumber and other farm products 48
per cent over the best records made
before the roads were improved.
This is by no means all of the direct
result of having good roads for mar
keting. Careful studiese of traffic
in the county were made by Com
missioner Coleman for two years,
which showed that it cost at least
20 cents to haul a ton a mile on un-
improved roads and IL cents a ton
a mile on improved roads. The rec
ords showed that the average haul of
$4,000 tons Of products was 8 miles.

TIME is EXTENDED FOR RE-
TURNS ON STATE INCOME TAX

Carlton ". Sawyer, comptroller
general, yesterday extended the time
for making returns and assessments
for state income taxes until October
Is, this year. This action was taken
on the request of the state tax COM
mission, which complained that the
failure to measure up to the law was
so widespread and genreal that re-
lief was desirable,
The time for making returns on
the income tax was up on February
20, but the erroneous impression
gained ground that the payment Of
the federal income tax relieved the
taxpayer of the state assessment,
states the tax commission, and for
that reason many persons neglected
to make their returns.
The following proclamation was is
sued yesterday by the comptroller
general to the auditors of the several
counties of South Carolina:
aTo the County Auditors in the
State of South Carolina:
"The State tax commission of the
State of South Carolina has sent me
the following communication relative
to the enforcement of the income tax
law:
"The time for making returns un-
der the income tax law of this State
expired on the goth of February, last,
and a very large number of persons
liable to the payment of the tax
omitted to make such returns within
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1916-09-27
the time limited.

"'The neglect to make the returns
in time may have been caused in part
by an erroneous impression that the
returns and payment of the income
tax to the federal government re-
lieved these taxpayers from paying
the income tax imposed by the laws
of this State.
"'The failure to make returns
within time has been so general and
widespread that we think further op-
portunity should be allowed such
persons to make these returns before
the penalties provided by law are i'm
posed upon them.'
'In order, therefore, to save such
persons who will now come forward
and make the proper returns, I, Carl
ton w. SawyerI under, and by virtue
of power conferred upon the comp
troller general, with the APPROVAL of
the governor, in section 767 of vol
ume I, Code of Laws of South Caro-
lima, 1912, do hereby extend the
time for the making of returns and
assessment of income taxes, without
penalty, until the 18th day of Octo-
ber, 1916.

Consequently the improvement of
the roads over which the hauling was
done saved the farmers s41,600 in
marketing $4,000 tons of products.
This sum saved in only two years, is
over two-fifths of the cost of the
road work which affected it.

ship OF the Lowell Heights NJ. f.
church made a net increase of 40
percent, 1O2 people having united
with the church, bringing the pres

Sunday school enrolment has
been increased 10 326 or 126 more
than at the beginning of the year.
More facilities for handling the
large enrolment are needed as the

have been established. They are:
100 new decisions for Christ. 400
members for Lowell Heights. and
300 average attendance at Sunday
