paired they may soon have an area OF
several square feet and a considerable
depth. The action of.traffic also grad
rally breaks away the concrete at the
edges of cracks and joints, and If pro-
per maintenance is not provided a con-
siderable area of the surface of the
pavement will be destroyed. The

Joints usually consist of filing them
with tar and covering the tar with
course sand, pea gravel. or stone
chips. satisfactory results can be Sc
Cured by this method only when a
crew with proper equipment and ma
teriaIs goes over the road making nee
essary repairs at least two or three
times year.
Where defects of any considerable
size are to be repaired the edges
Should be chiseled down until they
are approximately vertical and not
Jess than about inch deep. The hole
should be thoroughly cleaned and
painted with tar. after which it should
be filled with clean, course stone chips
thoroughly grouped with asphalt. The
surface of the patch should then be
covered with course sand, pea gravel,
or fine stono chips
Imagine the appearance of a road
patched at least two or three times
every year by filing contraction
joints irregular cracks cup holes
and defects of considerable size in a
rigid white Portland cement concrete
road surface with a plastic black

would look more like a relief map in

STATE PRISON EARNS FORE THAN
100000 PROFITS.

During the Craig administration
the States prison earned more than
100000 profits. January L, 1917,
there was cash on hand 1851 Sis. 81.
To this amount is added $167, Apps
free labor given under act of the leg
islature to the counties of Henderson,
Mcdowell and Madison and to the
Statesville Air Line railroad. In adj

corn and a lot of other farm crops
not counted into the penitentiary
statement, all of which together
would make the net earnings of the
prison more than the sum stated.

an analysis of bulletin issued by the
United states Office Of Public Roads
as follows:
Analysis of Bulletin portland Cement
Payements for County Roads"
considering the activity of the
combined Portland Cement manufac-
turers in the promotion of Portland
Cement Concrete Road construction,
the Department Bulletin No. 249 issued
July 26. 1916, is of special interest
The Bulletin consists of a paper,
portland Cement Concrete Pavements
for County Roads, by Charles Il.
Moorefeld and James I. Voshell,
Senior Highway Engineers"
The following extracts are of special
Significance
"Enthusiastic advocates of concrete
roads should bear in mind that such
roads can never be economically
adapted to all traffic conditions, and
those who are in responsible charge
Of road-improvment work should re-
aIfze the Importance of making care
full economic comparison Of the var1-
Gus kinds of road surfaces under the
conditions to be met before deciI1ng
upon the type of improvement to
adopt.
The Advantages.
The principal advantages which
concrete pavements possess may be
briefly stated and commented upon as
follows
"1. AS far as can be judged, they
are durable under ordinary suburban
and rural traffic conditions. While it
is true that there are no very old con-
crete pavements in existence, the pres
ent condition of many of those which
have undergone several years service
would seem to warrant the above
statement.
"2. They present smooth. even
surface, which offers very little resis-
lance to traffic. In the past the sur
faces of concrete pavements have
sometimes been roughened in order to
insure good foothold for horses. This
practice has now been abandoned, ex-
cept on very steep grades. because 1t
tends to accelerate deterioration Of the
| pavement, and because the smooth
surface has been found to AFFORD fair
| " satisfactory foothold under all or
binary conditions.
SO. They produce practically no
dust and may be easily cleaned.
a. They may be made to serve an
excellent base for some other type OF
surface when resurfacing becomes de-
sirable.
"6. They present a pleasing ap-
nearance.',
The Disadvantages.
"The Bulletin briefly outlines the
disadvantages of Portland Cement
Concrete road surface as follows:
"1. They are somewhat noisy un-
der horse traffic.
"2. There is not method of con-
structing necessary joints in the pave
ments which will entirely prevent ex-
cessive wear in their vicinity. Fur
thermore joints do not altogether
eliminate cracking, and wherever a
crack develops it must be given ire
quent attention in order to prevent
rapid deterioration of the pavement.
<3. They cannot be as readily and
effectively repaired as many other
types of pavements, and must remain
closed for at least a week after MAX
ing repairs"
Under the subject Maintenance
the Bulletin reads:
1.-THE maintenance of the pavements
consists, for the most part, in repair
ing cup holes, cracks. contraction
joints, and perhaps the renewal OF an
occasional defective area.
"Cup holes are spots in the surface
of the pavement which break down
under traffic and which may result

This is why China is nearer New
York City than many sections of our
own United States.
New York City is wonderful because
it is located advantageously in rebard
to rOads-because the products, goods,
the men and the ideas of the world
find it easy to meet for interchange.
Without her harbor, which is one
kind OF road, and without the valleys
which lead New York-ward, Manhattan
would be a breeding place for gul1s.
Isolate New York City and you could
buy Broadway for less than sip of
soup in one of her foolish palaces.

west could be had for tho taking.

did the productiveness of the soil turn

What is true in big way, is also
true in a small way.
Today there are billions of mineral
withdrawing for roads.
There are thousands OF valleys of
bountiful harvests still in the seclu-
sion OF fifty years ago.
In terms of dollars good roads are
cheap-they cost nothing.
In terms of human good. and COM
munity welfare, the value of good
roads cannot be computed.
You will find the good schools along
side the good roads. because products
can be turned into profits and profits
can maintain good schools also be-
cause the attendance Of schools may
be regular. The result "a greater
community Intelligence, which, when
applied to the business Of the COM
munity,. will alone pay hack in COM
munity wealth big dividends on good
roads.
Alongside Of good roads, you Will
find good, churches, good homes with
the comforts and elegance Of lIfe-all
because good roads carry products and
bring profits back.
Alongside Of good roads you will
ind happier people, because they are
more successful people-because they
are i'm the current OF progress and
prosperity"

pointed to expend this amount of money

have heard quite little talk with
regard to the cement concrete roads
that have been laid by Greenville
county and much favorable comments
on same. There is no doubt but what
this makes an excellent road, but there
are several types of standard road
pavements that I think should be
studied very carefully by the. commits
sion before they decide on what type
should be used by Spartanburg coun-
ty. The cheapest type of pavement is
not always the most economical in the
"long run" for the question of main
tenance is one that should be given
careful study in the selection of any
type of pavement

"BUYING AT HOME"

Last week we published two of the
essays by scholars on Home Dealing"
which won prizes in the Fogel & Bur-
stan contest We print below the re-
naming essays.
Since making their contest Messrs.
FogeI & Burstan have received an ac-
count of several other towns doing the
very same thing, only in those
cases all the merchants and other busi-
ness men joined in offering prizes for
the best essays on "Patronizing Home
Industries.
Now this matter of supporting our
home business men, not only merchants,
but mechanics and all other home in
dustries, is of the highest Importance to
our town, and we suggest that the rest of
the towns merchants and business men
join in another like movement to agitate
the question, and thus wake up our citi
zens to a full realization of the true
condition of our town and its needs.
It is said that some of our well-to-do
citizens are the worst offenders in this
buying out of town, patronizing these
mail order stores, etc. They are prop
erty owners, too, in Middletown whose
real estate will be the first thing to
suffer, if the town merchants and other
business men are forced to quit, or to
do business in smaller way by reason
of lack of this home support.
The Transcript is no pessimist decry-
ing its own town, but has always done
its utmost to boom Middletown and its
business men. But it IS wise to face
the facts and these force us to admit
that it is not altogether we'll with our
town. But one thing we all can do
patronize all home industries, stores.
workmen, etc. This is all the more neces-
sary, because within the past few years,
good roads, automobiles, and above all
these mail order houses have been max
ing heavy inroads into the trade of our
merchants, and if things keep on at
this rate our best stores will have to do
business on smaller scale, if not quit
altogether.

PATRONIZE OUR HOME STORES
BY GWENDOLYN GARY

While our town is not SO large, the
stores here are as nice as can be found
in any town of its size in the state, in
fact there are larger towns that do not
own town.
There are two department stores here.
One is owned by Fogel & Burstan, and
after visiting this store it makes person
wonder why some people think it neces-
sary to visit any other town to do their
shopping. This firm carries full line of
dry goods and notions, ladies' dresses,
suits, coats and hats. They are very OBJ
liging and have a force of sales girls
who are very courteous to all customers.
By patronzing our home stores, itkeeps
more money in circulation in our town,
and it is great encouragement to our
merchants.
Besides they are taxed heavily for
their properties and are obliged to pay
for the privilege Of operating their
stores. Such stores as FogeI & Bur-
stan. also j. B. Messick' s, are a credit to
any town. Some people think that they
can deal more reasonable from mall
order houses. but in nearly every case
the article purchased in this way is not
what it is represented to be, SO in the
end it has to be returned.
How much less expense and how much
would be saved by visiting one Of our
town stores. If the article desired is not
in stock. the merchants are pleased to
order it for customer. But it doesn t
often happen that a customer cannot
find what is desired. Just at this time,
the stores are showing a complete and
beautiful line of Christmas things.
insure none of us will find it necessary
to 60 away from home for our Christ
mas shopping.
By patronizing the stores Of our town
and helping to make them financial
success to the owners, they feel encour-
aged to improve their stores. and to try
also to add to their stock Of goods, SO
thateach and every customer is satisfied,
