the war, but never did women Of any
country give strength to an army as
did the women of the South. Send
ing their husbands, sons, and broth
ers to fight in the ranks, they nobly
filed their places on the farms and
elsewhere and largely. supplied the
neeessities Of the country. by the work
ofstheir unwaarying hands,.
The article3n the Veteran for May,
1916, by Mrs. Anna +. G. Fry, Of Ala
bama. tells. Of the ingenuity Of these
women in overcoming the lack Of GER
tain materials. Dyes could not be
secured, but from the woods they
obtained bark, leaves, and roots that
gave the necessary coloring matter.
"The wild myrtle yielded a nice gray
dye for wooden goods; sumac berries
and walnut bulls dyed a beautiful
brown; the root Of the pine tree, a
beautiful garnet; the pokcberry, a
dark. rich magenta; the wild indigo,
q lovely blue; hickory bark, combin-
ed with alum, a brilliant green; the
rare queens delight a jet-black;
while the pine and sweet gum boiled
together made our own beautiful
Confederate gray, to which there is
no color under the sun equal and
none so dear to the Southern heart.
These colors had to be set with cop-
eras, which was also made by placing
a small quantity of salt and vinegar
in a vessel and casting in old iron,
rusty nails, ETC."
In those Confederate days drugs
were so high that few could afford to
buy them when procurable, and again
resort was had to the woods and
fielrds for roots, berries, and wild
fruits which furnished the necessary
remedies.
What a lesson is here given Of the
resources of this great, rich country
of America, which has been so de-
pendent upon foreign countries for
dyes and drugs hat ar interruption
Of trade in those ports has sent
prices skyward! And what u lesson
it should be to this country to devel-
op these and make itself
secure against dependence on any
country saw itself!
I'VE took advantage Of every re-
source" wrote Mrs. Fry, land we
laughed at our privations and incon-
v%eniences. We not only clothed and
fed the people of our county, but
aided and helped to feed the people
of the entire South, civil and mill
tary. And We FELT proud Of our in
dependence and fortitudc = and
wondered that we were able to &C
complish what we id."-Confeder-

The radical element of Reformed
Judaism poohpoohs the Jewish state
idea and goes SO far as to accuse tn,

II Is against this last accusation
that strong protest should be raised
by all who know how deeply patri-

ing in this day. The boys and girls
pig clubs in Lancaster county ap-
pear to have done remarkably we'll
and there is now among the men,
bers sixty pure-bred pigs, thirty
four of these having been exhibited
at the pig show near this city last
week. several taking handsome
prizes. This movement for better
bred stock is backed up by the state
agricultural department and the
county agent, in fact, is directed
largely by County Agent r. w.
Graeber, and in the comparative
short time since it was begun, re-
suits are already evident.
The bringing into the county OF
pure-bred stock, whether pigs or
cattle, is forward step, and If
continued, we may see within a few
years only the best of stock being
produced in this county. IF Mr.
Graeber can bring this about, it Will
be a much better tribute to him than
a stone monument miles high, and his
efforts in that direction are well
worth while. 1t may be said that the
methods employed are most benefi-
cial also in that through the clubs
rivalry is provided among the boys
and girls of the county and their eff
forts to make their particular pig
take the blue ribbons are increased.
The raising of pure-bred stock is
not without its remunerative side
and the profits are much better than
that realized on a poor grade of
stock. This is consideration to
appeal to the boys and girls, as well
as that OF raising a better pig than
the other fellow. And the move
ment should have the backing of all
business men for the introduction of
high-class stock means a good deal
to the community and the state.

There are ultimate possibilities OF
this movement in South Carolina be-
ing the forerunner OF similar move
ments in other states which, the like
lihood is, would result in solid un-
broken stretches OF concrete roads
from the north to the south and
from the east to the west, and there
are many more features Of the plan
under discussion that will appear In
these columns from time TO time
There are likely to be many new
features developing as the movement
goes forward, and the opposition is
expected to be negligible, if. in fact
at all perceivable.

In the worst condition that it has
been in, in years. We learn from
Supervisor West that the chain gang
is in that section now at work on this
road. Not only is the Kershaw
county end Of it in bad condition but
it is said that Richards end is in
equally as bad condition. With
large increase in taxes on automo-
biles in the past two years it looks
to us that car owners are entitled to
better roads. But instead of getaing
better they are worse than before the
tax on autos was raised.

ROADS.

The proposition of building a sys-
TEN of permanent highways in South
Carolina, which The News has dis
cussed on several occasions, has
taken definite shape, and unless
signs fail, before the winter is over,
plans will have matured for the con-
struction of more than fifteen hun
dred miles OF improved roads, APP
proXimately one thousand of which
will be concrete This is the decis-
ion of committee of the state auto
mobile association which met in tn!
auditorium of the chamber of com
merce in Columbia Saturday, the
purpose of the meeting being the
promulgation of definite plan to be
submitted to the general assembly
when 1t meets early next year.
The committee, of which r. G.
Rhett, of Charleston, is chairman
talked in big figures" big figures
as matter Of fact, being necessary
in discussing state system of roads
Readers OF The News will recall the
suggestion made in this paper that
bond issue of around fifty million
dollars be issued, this providing an
average expenditure per county of
a million dollars. The Charleston
News and Courier previously had
suggested the sum of ten million
dollars. Mr.. Rhett said at the meet
ing in Columbia Saturday that his
first figure was two and a half mil
lion but that from time to time in
talking with other good roads en-
thusiasts he had revised that figure
until he had reached twenty million.
The committees decision was twen-
tv-fve million. Seme members of
the compehiiittee were of opinion that
the estimate of fifty million dollars
was none too high. The truth is
fifty million dollars for construction
with provisions for maintenance
would provide a county system oi
good roads in every county in the
state, while twenty-five million vii
provide state system of roads
rather than a county system.
