GOVT APPROVES CLIFTON.
 SpR|NGERv|LLE ROAD

The Secretary of Agriculture has formally approved the Clifton-Spring- erville highway project, according to an announcement made here today by the District Forester. Survey of the route is expected to begin immediate ly. The cost will probably be between $3OO,000 and $400,000 and under the plan approved is to be borne equally by Greenlee county and the govern ment. The county officials, it is said, are expecting to recommend a bond issue to raise the necessary funds. The federal funds will accrue from the national forests receipts, in ac- cordance with Section 8 of the Fede- ral Aid Road Act.
 The northern part of the proposed highway lies within Apache county. It is understood that as soon as the Greenlee county section is completed, Apache county will likewise apply for Federal cooperation to connect with the Ocean to Ocean highway at Springerville.
 Large bodies of timber and beauti- ful mountain area of great value for recreational purposes will be opened up by the new road, according to Forest officers here. It is expected that the timber will find ready mar ket in the copper mines, whose supply has heretofore been drawn largely from the Pacific Coast. The road will also enable residents of the hot val leys to build summer homes in the fine summer climate of the White Mountains.
 This is the first project to be ap- proved under the new Federal Aid Road Law, according to District For ester Redington. The construction work is expected to take several years.

Pigtails and Mustaches

When Wu Ting Fang was minister to the United States from China, he visited Chicago. A native of the Windy City said to him at reception:
 "Mr. Wu, see there is movement in China to abolish the pigtails you wear. Why do you wear the foolish thing, anyhow?"
 "Well," countered MT. Wu, "why dc you wear your foolish mustache?"
 "Oh, that's different" said the Chi cago man; "you see, I've got an i'm possible mouth."
 "So I should suppose" retorted MT Wu, Judging from some of your re marks"

"You are very fond of using big words, Julius," said a gentleman to his negro servant.
 "Yus, sah," answered Julius. A friend of mine once saved his life by using a long word"
 "How was that, Julius"
 "Well, you see, sah, he called me a prevaricator. If he'd called me liar I'd have gone for him at once but by the time I'd turned up the dictionar' to see what a prevaricator was he was fifty miles away"

Fran cis J. Heney has been engaged as spe- cial counsel. A committee of the Fed erated trade commission will continue its investigations. It is understood that it's report to congress will say that there never has been an actual shortage, but the manufacturers help ed to create panic by intimating that a shortage existed

War Prices

A Tommy on furlough entered a jewellers shop and, placing much battered gold watch on the counter, said, "T want this 'ere mended."
 After a careful survey the watch maker said, "I'm afraid, sir, the cost of repairing will be double what you gave for it."
 "I don't mind that" said the soldier "Will you mend it?'
 "Yes," said the jeweler, "at the price,"
 "Well," remarked Tommy smiling "I gave German a punch on the nose for it, and I'm quite ready to give you two if you'll mend it."

FINANCIAL PROBLEMS
 NOW UP TO GOVERNOR
 AND THE LEGISLATURE

The former legislature provided fol tax levy, which with other revenues estimated, intended as a total avail able for support of the State during the year ending June 30th, 1916, the sum of
 s2,445,757.15
 The returns as to actual expendi- lures for that year show total of
 $2,S27,272.76 drawn from the Treasury for state purposes.
 The same legislature contemplated, estimated and provided the sum of
 $2,147,511.50 to meet the state expenditures for the year commencing July 1st, and end ing June 30th, 1917. The actuals of which are not completed.
 The present legislature is request ed by the heads of various depart ments, institutions and offices to con tinue all former revenues to each, supplement those revenues by tax funds equalling tax raised funds of present year, and add thereto new amounts aggregating
 $1,489, ,369.26 to be available for the year beginning July 1st, 1917.
 Should the regular current expendi- lures for that year equal the record of expenditures for last fully com pleted year, to June 30th, 1916, the $2, ,827 ,272.76 items above, and should the present legislature grant all re- quests and recommendations included in the $1, ,4S9, ,369.26 item, which is the aggregate of new amounts requested, it would require that provisions be made for an aggregate revenue of state purposes of year 1917-19lS of over

A SAFE TEST.

For those who are in need of a
remedy for kidney troubles and
backache, it is a good plan to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. They are
strongly recommended by Edge
field people.
w. B. Paul, painter and paper
hanger, Butler ST., Edgefeld, says:
II was bothered by kidney trouble
nearly all my life. 1t grew worse
when had the measles some years
ago. Doan's Kidney Pills removed
the pains and strengthened and reg
ulated the action of my kidneys.
Ny health became better than it
had been in many years" (State-
ment given April -, lsll.)
Over three years later, Mr.. Paul
said: II have very little trouble
with my kidneys now, but when |
am bothered that way, Doan's Kid,
ney Pills never fail to relieve me.
Price sc. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Paul twice publicly
recommended. Foster -Milburn Co.,

Though she declared her condi-

could not keep even cold water on

of 5S7 North Church ST., Spartan
burg, declared that Tanlac made
such a rapid improvement in her
condition that it got her out of bed
and enabled her to do light house
work in three days. Mrs. John
sons remarkable statement and en-
dorsement of Tanlac follows:
I had catarrhal fever and what

all the time, but did not seem to

ing to regain my strength, and |
threw away all medicines and be-
gan taking Tanlac.
A friend whose husband had
been helped ever so much by it kept
after me until l began taking this
medicine. and she certainly did me
a great kindness by doing so, too.

Interesting Letter From Rev
George w. Bussey.

Dear Advertiser: 1t has beer
some time since I had word witt
you, though l enjoy your week.;
visits as much as ever. 1t seem
like the visit of an old friend wheI
you come. Matters are moving
smoothly here in spite of wars anc
cold weather. We have had som'
of our Edgefeld "boys" up her,
this week, in U. S. court, Messrs
Thurnond and Mays. Though they
are rising towards the top, [ love
to remember them as Edgeheld
boys, and their parents as my
friends of former days. l rejoice
in their success.
We have had treat in our fami-
ly of late to have had my daughter
Hattie with US for several weeks.
She now lives in Chicago. She has
just left US to return home. The
following concerning her departure
appeared in the Greenwood Journal
few days ago:
"Mrs. Hattie Waldrop returned
yesterday from Spartanburg, where
she went Saturday to visit her un'
Gle, Mr.. J. L. Bussey and other rela-
tives. She will start back to Chi
cago, Tuesday but will 60 by Mar
tin, Ga, and stop a few days with
her brother, Rev. A. w. Bussey on
her way home. She has just re-
ceived letter from her son who
has returned from the border with
Gen. Pershing's expedition in Mex
leo. He belongs TO the infantry
and has been in the army three
years. He has been promoted to
second lieutenant and will enlist for
four more years. Perhaps some of
the young men here remember little
Hugh Gilchrist who went to school
here when boy. His father, w.
A. Gilchrist, lived here until Gov.
W. A. Gilchrist, his cousin, went
to Waycross, Ca, to take charge
of the development, of Gilchrist
Park which is the largest section of
the city of Waycross. While there
he died, and my daughter married
Mr.. Waldrop and moved to Chicago.
She has two of three sons with her
there, both in business"
