lion one section of the road between
Wedgefeld and stateburg. Three
years ago 1t was the best road In
the county. and I went out for a ride
on that road several times just tc
enjoy pleasant ride and show some
Of my friends how good roads can he
made. Now that same road is just as
well as any cotton field to ride on.
There Is no use building up good
roads unless they are kept up. and
they are easily kept in good shape If
defects are repaired before they get
too bad. The same condition applies
to all good roads.

pure clay, and red clay hills are
graded down and left as roadbed
Now clay in itself has no strength or
binding properties unless mixed
thoroughly with harder substances,
such as rock. gravel or coarse sand,
because as soon as 1t gets moisture Il
dissolves and forms soft substa ,ce

Even fine sand mixed I'm clay will
help considerably. ana this class of
sand Is abundantly distributed all
over our soils.

The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1917-09-27

Recent dispatches from British
headquarters in France by the AS
sociated Press. report that the Brit
ish battalions that captured Shrews-
berry forest and Bulgar wood, to
the east of the former place, in last
Thursdays drive, experienced new
kind of German frightfulness. The
advancing troops are reported to
have been fired on with flaming
bullets" These bullets set the
mems clothing afre and in several
instances, according to the account,
wounded mer had to be rolled in
the mud by their comrades to ex-
tinguish the flames.

Old False Teeth Valuable.

Many people no doubt have read
the the advertisements appearing IN
the papers of late Offering from 81
to SIS for old false teeth and have
wondered why person should want
to buy teeth that had then been
worn out by years of use. At a
first glance a person inwardly shud-
ders at the thought of another using
secondhand false teeth. But it is
not the teeth the advertiser wants.
Years ago considerable quantity of
platinum was used in making false
teeth and today platinum is one of
the most valuable Of known COM
modities. The platinum is extract
ed from the teeth and the teeth are
consigned to the junk pile. In times
past set of false teeth cost any.
where from $50 to $500. 1t was
the platinum used in making the
bridges that ran the cost of manu-.
facture up to such a high figure,
but in recent years a cheaper ma
terial has been used and now it is
possible to get q fairly good set of
false teeth for very small sum.
Small fortunes have been made in
recent months from the sale of plat
mum extracted from old false teeth.

Americas Secret Service.

Says the Albany Georgia. Herald,
commenting on recent achievements
of the United States secret service:
1T blows no horns, and its work
is done in the shadows, but it has
been turning up intrigue and plot
and treason in a way that proves
the high order of its efficiency. 1t
dug up Germany's intrigue against
the United States in Mexico; it has
now caught Swedish diplomatists
red handed in an intrigue with Ger
man agents that unblushingly vio-
lates neutrality"
The American secret service,
though one of the smallest in any
nation, has always been accounted
among the ablest; it is doubtful in
deed if it has an equal, man for
man. Not tithe of its important
accomplishments since the beginning
of the war are known outside Of the
executive circle. Long before our
actual break with Berlin, the secret
service was uncovering all manner
of German plots against this coun-

Patriotism and Flat Feet.

Reasonable care must be taken,
of course, in the selecting of men
for the army. in order that the SOL
diers shall be fit for the hardships
of war; but there are instances of
rather ludicrous applications of gen.
eral rules to particular cases in re-
jecting applicants. In St Louis, for
example. a strapping youth from
Illinois was rejected because he had
fiat feet. the unalterable presump-
tion in the army regulations being
that the man who has flat feet will
fall in the march. Yet this same
youth had walked s. miles to offer
his services to Uncle Sam.
This recalls asimilar incident at a
recruiting station in Kansas City.

wHEATLESS IDEA GROWING.
Vermont People Said to Be Receiving tn,
Idea Well.

Springfield, Sept 24.--Judging from
reports that are being received at the
headquarters of the Vermont food admin
istrator, James Hartness, the people of
the state have received in excellent spir-
it the request that two mo white bread
days, Wednesday and Thursday of each
week be observed until further notice.
Absolutely no complaint has been re-
ceived, while on the other hand pledges
of cooperation from all parts of the
state have com in. At bottom of the
menue card: 1--WE are asked to conserve
our country's food resources. On Wednes-
days and Thursdays there will be no food
prepared from wheat -four served in this
hotel"
Another hotel man writes that he anti
cipates the fullest cooperation from his
patrons, saying that many desirable sub
stitutes, such as corn bread, oatmeal
bread, nut bread, rye rolls, mullins, etc,
can easily take the place of white bread
on the days requested.
