 New York. April 7-Opening: Trad, ing in stocks. interrupted by the Good Friday holiday, was resumed today with prices irregularly lower, fresh liquidation being largely induced by reports of the appearance of German raiders off the Atlantic coast. The more substantial declines of the first half hour included Bethlehem Steel new stock and Marine preferred, which fell almost three points each, with one to three for Lackawanna : Steel, Chino Copper, Industrial Alco- ] hoI, Stakeholder, General Motors and Corn Products. United States Steel also fell more than a point with gen. eral reversals in railroads, Reading, Union Pacific and Delaware & Hudson showing marked heaviness.
 Close-Liquidation and short selling made further serious inroadS on prices in the active dealings of the short ses- sion. War shares ana associated equipments and industrials recorded gross declines of two to five points, in some cases falling as much as eight points. Shippings also were two to four points lower, with oils and the many miscellaneous issues which move with the general list. Railroads of the first class lost two to four points. Rallies of one to two pints ccurred in the diminished dealings of Sz@ last hour, sbut The c,osing was heavy. Saes were estimatAd at 650,- 900 shares Bonds were weak.

ROAD FAILURES
 THIS SEASON OF
 YEAR NUMEROUS

ss,rqhis is inc season of road failures, said s. s. Won Loesecke, Engineer or the Department of Highways of the Automobile Legal Association. The wise road superintendent, however win profit by these failures, and make the road strong enough to stand Wn1ie the frost is coming out of the ground next spring.
 ..At this time of the year, great many springs under the road bed that are dry during the summer and 1aii months are running freely and thus destroy the road bed. These springs should be led away through drains. and if necessary the spongy sub-soll should be replaced with a suitable ma terial which will give a firm founda- ton for the road surface.
 sIn the spring of the year, the pro- perause of the road machine and drag will save the town and its inhabitants a goodly proportion of its annual apJ propriation, and also a great deal or annoyance and loss through transpor- tation difficulties. If the gravel road is shaped and dragged at frequent 1n7 tervals, the surface will become dense and hard, and the assurance of good road during the ensuing months will be obtained, but if the road is allowed to rut and resemble plowed field. the ultimate cost Of repairs will be great ly increased. Nothing will go to pieces faster than the gravel or earth road if 1t is not properly maintained.
 "A great deal has been said about the economy of constructing a per- manent pavement on country roads. At a recent hearing before the Com hittee on Roads and Bridges in Bos- ton, the suggestion was made that country roads be paved with granite block The cost of this or a similar type of pavement would, of course, be prohibitive.
 .'The suggestion might have been better made that the present type of road be properly constructed using the proper materials on a. well-drained and solid foundation. The most ex- pensive pavement known will not stand up unless it has a proper foun- dation and receives constant mainten- ance."

The cold wave of November 10-17, 1916, while it did much damage to late vegetable crops, had no damaging effect upon the strawberry acreage. The cold wave of January 29 to February 6. 1917, destroyed the imma- tuFe fruit and bloom from Florida to Texas Little damage was done to the plants. however, but the shipments were heavily reduced in sections from which the crop had started to move, pending the refruiting of the plants, which delayed the general movement from four to five weeks.
 The freeze in the early part of March again destroyed the fruit and bloom of strawberries from Texas to as far east as Mississippi.

Carlisle Shows Her Patriotism.

According to prearranged plans a
flag pole appeared on the campus OF
Carlisle school last Thursday just in
front of the gymnasium. At four
o'clock in the afternoon the student
body gathered around the flag staff
and very impressive ceremony was
carried out. Three verses of "Ameri-
ca" were sung by the assembly. Then
Prof. Guilds introduced DR.. E. O.
Watson, pastor of Trinity Methodist
church, who made an address eulogiz-
ing the flag DR.. Watson's address
was indeed excellent. In his own in
imitable way he traced the history of
our flag and told of the things for
which it stands. Then, as the flag
was slowly raised to its position by
Mr.. A. T. Whetsell and Miss Grace
Fox, president and secretary, re-
spectively, of the senior class, the as
sembly sang in chorus the first verse
of our national anthem, The Star
Spangled Banner" The meeting was
then dismissed with prayer by DR..

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
Bottling Works Being Erected at
Glendale Springs.

Col. John F. Folk has leased the
bottling rights of his Glendale
springs property to the Chero-Cola
company. of Orangeburg, and this
company is now erecting large bot
Ting plant at the springs. 1t is un-
derstood that the work on the plant

will probably be started on May 1st.
1t is stated that about $4,000
worth of machinery will be installed

drinks will be bottled at the springs,
and this will be the distributing point
for parts of Bamberg, Colleton and
Hampton counties, and perhaps other
sections. The company will continue
it's bottling plant at Orangeburg, and
will operate the Bamberg plant in
addition.
Col. Folk has reserved the rights
for the sale of Glendale water. A
new product will be the manufac-
ture of Glendale Springs ginger ale.
This drink will be bottled for Col.
Folk by the Chero-Cola people.
The opening of the bottling plant
at Glendale springs brings another
enterprise to this section. 1t in
wolves considerable capital, and will
give employment to a number of
workmen. Glendale has established
a wide reputation for its mineral
qualities.
