THE COST OF ROADS.
The Columbia Record.

The Columbia Record.
The estimated cost Of the Panama
canal was s375,OO0,0OO. The an
nual expenditure upon public roads
in this country is s25O,0O0,0O0. Good
roads cost heavily, but bad roads
cost much more. This was proved
by the late Joseph A. Holmes of Lau-
rens, perhaps the greatest exponent
of road building that this country
has known.
The importance of good roads is
conceded. All arguments have been
reduced to axioms. 1t was not con-
sidered radical, therefore, when the
government appropriated $85, ,000,-
900 for road building. This is to be
supplemented by an equivalent
amount in the States severally when
they accept government aid.
There is no need for apprehension,
jealousy or friction between the fed
eral road builders and the local.
They all are employed to serve the
people. The main question is to get

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OFF YOUR CORNS
Apply a Few Drops Then Lift Corns
Or Calluses of With Fingers-
No Pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
compound of ether discovered by
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost
but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no
soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have freezone have him order
it for YOU.

Try it right now for rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Lumbago, sore, stiff and
swollen joints, pains in the head,

After one application pain disap-
pears as if by magic.
A never-failing remedy used Inter-
nally and externally for Coughs,
Colds, Group, Sore Throat, Diph-
liberia and Tonsilitis.
This Oil is conceded to be the
most penetrating remedy known. Its
prompt and immediate effect in re-
iieving pain is due to the fact that
it penetrates to the affected parts at
once. As an illustration, pour Ten
Drops on the thickest piece Of sole
leather, and it will penetrate this
substance through and through IN
three minutes.

Counties may not participate sep
arately in the benefits of the federal
act, but if counties will cooperate
and place themselves under q State
highway commission, they will be bene
fitted without additional cost to them
selves or to the State.
South Carolina needs a highway
commission to formulate q definite
plan for road building in this State.
This plan will cover period of years
and should see the State in much
better condition when the work is
done. A large per cent of the money
now being spent upon roads is being
wasted.

So many men pose as experts that
the public has become suspicious of

WHOLE MINE OUTPUT
FOR RIVERSIDE PLANT

In order to take care of its fuel
problem the Louisville Gas & Elec-
trio Company has arranged for the
output of a mine at Render. KY, 112
miles from Louisville on the Illinois
Central railroad, and made con-
tract with the Pullman Company for
twenty-five steel cars to be delivered
in September. The mine belonged to
the McHenry Coal Company. 1t will
be operated by the Render Coal
Company, and the Louisville Gas &
Electric Company will take the en-
tire output.
II is understood that active mining
operations have been started, and by
January the mine capacity is ex-
pected to reach 5000 tons monthly.
The output during the next few
months will be stored for the winter.
The rapid increase in power sales,
especially since the location of the
cantonment site here, has in
creased the fuel problem, which the
new arangement-will take care of.

MUST SEND
MILLION MEN TO FRANCE

With the American Expeditionary
Army in France, July s (passed by
censor) At the end of the first week
of the American eXpeditionary army
in France one fact stands out above
all others:
America must send men-a mill
ion men.
Food conditions in France are, if
anything, better than they had been
reported to be. There is sufficiency
of food supplies, though to say that
there is plenty would be exaggerat-
ing.
Widows people this land. Mourn
ing is the national costume
The spirit of the people is indom-
table but weary. I'VE have done
our duty to our home country, to the
world. to democracy" they say. LET

The American troops have caught
the spirit. that comes from true
understanding of the situation.
No hatred is shown by our troops
to the German war prisoners-only
pity. But the woes of France are
invoking a deeprooted ire against the
kaiser. Our men seem to grasp what
they are fighting for and are re-
solved to triumph.
Our casualties will be heavy. The
country must be prepared for ter
rible losses.

been brought face TO face with the
fact that there is a dearth of volun-
teers among physicians under thirty
five years of age.
DR.. J. c. Bloodgood, of Baltimore,
who is chairman OF the Committee
on Preparedness of the Southern
Medical Association, received letter
from a physicia6 at one of the train
ing camps, which stated that in that
camp so per cent. OF the 400 ply
sicians in training are more than
thirty-fve.
"This is a distressing index to con-
ditions," said DR.. Bloodgood, in COM
menting on the statement. There is
crying need for doctors under
thirty-fve in the medical reserve
corps; the army must have them.
simply must have them, and the ma
tion and the profession should take
the fact to heart. Men under thirty
five must bear the burden OF the
medical work on the battlefelds,"
and yet the doctors under thirty-fve
are not coming forward in any
thing like sufficient numbers.
DR.. Bloodgood said that of II, 900
doctors who have received commss-
ions for the medical reserve corps, or
