COAL.

"1've got car of COAL" says the
dealer, "send down and get you a
ton" You spend several hours
hunting for a drayman and he tells
you that he's too busy and cant
haul it; you spend some more hours
hunting for some one else. One
man tells you he'll let you have a
pair of mules and wagon but that
he has no one to drive it: you keep
on hunting throughout the day, and
finally you come upon a man from
the country who has his wagon in
town and he agrees to haul il. He
goes to the policeman and asks will
he be required to take out a draw
mans license; the policeman tells
him he will. You then go to the
mayor and get a special permit for
the man to haul your coal which the
'iNSnSu ui"S man VIII not maui.
Your man then goes down to the car
and the man in charge there tells him
that he hasn't time to weigh the
coal and that he will not have time
for three days.
The above is not overdrawn. 1t is
the condition of today in this city.
II happened just that way last Sat
nrday, and, we suppose, happens
that way just any day. It's not on
account OF the war; you can't blame
it on the kaiser. The war has made
1T possible for the dealer to dis
pose of all the coal he can get. has
been the cause of setting the price,
has made it impossible for the dealer
to lose penny or get his money tied
up indefinitely.
The News does not know whether
the fuel administrators has the power
to remedy such matters; if he has, il
would seem that he would have al
ready been active, but evidently
there is some way open for relief
from such practices of the dealer.
If the News is correctly in
formed on this point, there, is
something for the fuel administra
tor to do, and whether within or
without the realm Of his activities.
the practice of the dealers in not de
lvering the coal, thus making it vir-
tually prohibitive to many people.
should be remedied.
The News does not assume the role
of dictator or guardian of the peo-
pies rights and it is mindful that
perhaps the fuel administrator. like
most other people. has much to do.
but here are matters that some one.
If not the fuel administrator then
some one else, should attend to.

license fees on automobiles, so the
same thing can be done in South
Carolina on bond issue Of, say
s10.0O0,000. Taxes in Illinois Will
not be increased a dollar, nor would
they be in South Carolina.
For the first time we are able to
see daylight ahead in our road sit
uation in South Carolina. The pub
lie is already beginning genuinely
to appreciate the value of good
roads. Men understand, too, that
the piecemeal methods of the past
must go to the discard They will
give their support to a scheme which
promises results and the practica-
bility of which can be established.
Good roads enthusiasts have. there
fore, an opportunity such as they
have not possessed in the past. If
they move now and move intelli-
gently it should be only a few years
until a real transformation is ac-
complished in highway construction
and maintenance throughout South
Carolina"
The News made the rough esti-
mate several days ago in comment
ing upon the News and Courier's
proposal that s1O.OOO,O0O would
provide perhaps 25 miles OF good
roads in each county. That would
mean straighline roads through
each county these connecting where
ever connection is necessary, and
such an arrangement would be
magnificent improvement over the
present conditions, but not such as
would provide for the heavy traffic
in the years to come, while perhaps
it would take care of the present de-
mands. In building roads extern
sively the future should be provided
for. not alone because the future
generations doubtless will be called
upon to pay their share Of the i'm
provement, but to avoid the loss OF
money through the fact that the
roads would not be adequate for the
needs and would necessarily have to
be reconstructed.
The state. however. might build
a system Of roads, and we under
stand this is the policy of the News
and Courier, touching every county,
or rather, running through every
county. maintain the system prop
erly. and pay the interest on the
bonds and ultimately the principal,
or $1,000 per year, which would
raise annually a sum of, in round
figures, a half million dollars, and
would be increased as the number
of automobiles doubtless will in
crease after the war. The News
and Courier's plan is good one. but
if the building of roads in South
Carolina is to be undertaken on a.
large scale, II should be large enough
to take care of the needs for years
to come.

Pennsylvania. on the issue of $780,
100000. or course. it is readily un-
derstood that these states have sew
eral very large cities, which goes a
long way toward carrying the issue,
but South Carolina is a rich state, and
would be much richer with a first
class system Of highways. Nothing
short, however, of a ncrete-asphalt
road will come under the head of
frst-class highway with the demands
that will be put upon it after the
war when traffic will increase many
fold each year. To spend money on
any other kind Of road to any appre-
ciable extent is to waste it, as the
roads are only temporary and their
upkeep will necessitate the eXpendi-
ture of a large sum annually. To
build roads of this class would re-
quire comparatively a small amount
of money. probably within the
amount mentioned by the Charles
ton paper, but to build permanent
roads of concrete and asphalt, roads
that will last and will enhance the
value of the adjacent property 100
per cent, or more, will require in the
neighborhood of million dollars to
the county, or rather an average OF
a million dollars, some of the lar
ger counties. of course, need
ing considerably more than the
smaller ones
Says the News and Courier: THE
Philadelphia Record. the most
soundly edited newspaper in the
state, and one of the best in Ameri-
ca, vigorously supports the consti-
tional amendment authorizing these
bonds.
Pennsylvania says The Record |
'canot afford to lag in the improve
ment of its highways. New York has
spent much more than $4,000, 900
in such work. Illinois will vote next
week on proposed bond issue of
100000 for good roads and
nearly all the states of the Union are
taking action on similar lines The
current revenues of the common
wealth are not great enough to jus
tify the appropriation from them of
sums in keeping with the magnitude
of the work to be done The neces-
sary improvements can, therefore. |!
only be secured in a reasonable time
through the issue OF bonds. and In ,
the payment of these. as we'll as in .
the enjoyment of the modernized
posterity will bear it's
share with the present generation.
Our roads are much better now than
they were five years ago, but the i'm
provement does not proceed fast
enough. Rapid progress can only be
assured by means of generous is
sue OF bonds, in the benefits of which
all sections of the state will partici-
pate
"If this last is true OF an enor-
mously wealthy state like Pennsyl- .
vania. how much more true must it
be of South Carolina. Pennsylvania. !

On Sunday, March 10, Just as the
clock struck s, Mrs. Katherine NJ.
Davis, aged 66 years, passed away
at the homo OF Mrs. w. II. McClel-
lion. her daughter, at Woodbury.,
Ga. Before marriage Mrs. Davis was
Miss Katherine NJ. Grant, of near
Townville. Although she had been
i'm i'll health for sevral years, the end
came suddenly and was shock to
loved ones. 1t was not known here
that Mrs. Davis had been sick, her
illness having been but OF q week s
duration. Suffering from an attack
OF acute Indigestion, her strength
soon gave way. However, al! her
children were with her when the end
came, except one, who was sick at
that time
The deceased was the widow of
the late l.. Davis, who died Janu-
airy 80, 1914 She possessed Won
derful vitalit. and constitution
strengthened and fortified by long
years of clocklike regularity of
habit. a rule OF her life was that
anything worth doing was worth do
ing we'll. Her life was one of SER
vice for others, and unselfishness was
the key note Of her character. She
i'eu q o"HhS ViopooiIloii, anu was IlOI
disposed to worry over trifles that
ordinary people worry over. This
cheerful disposition remained with
her to the last. She was member
OF the Seneca Baptist church, with
which she had been identified for
many years. Her remains we're
brought to Seneca Monday morning
on No. SO. Funeral services we're
held at the home of her son, c.. A.
Davis, of Seneca, Rev. j. S. Corpen-
ing, her pastor, conducting the SER
vices at the home and at the grave
Interment was made in Mountain
View cemetery.
This death seems doubly sad, as
it was the fourth death in this estim-
able family in four years. When
we think of the dark cloud Of sorrow
that has cast its shadow over the
four surviving children, namely, J.
n. Davis, Walhalla; c.. A. Davis,
Seneca, and Mrs. John G. Sanders,
Seneca, and Mrs. w. II. McClellion,
Woodbury., Ga, our sympathies min
gle with those Of host Of others in
coincidence to them whose lives are
most deeply affected by this sad dis
pensation OF an all-wise Providence.
May His grace be sufficient for them
in this hour Of anliction.

UGH ACID STOMACH,

GAS OR INDIGESTION
The Moment "Pape's Diapepsin''
Reaches the Stomach All
Distress Goes.

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause sick, sour,
gassy stomach. Now, Mr.. or Mrs.
Dyspeptic, jot this down: Pape's
Diapepsin helps neutralze the excess
siye acids in the stomach so your
food won't sour and upset you. There
never was anything SO safely quick,
so certainly effective. No difference
how badly your stomach is upset you
usually get happy relief in five min
utes, but what pleases you most is
that it helps to regulate your stom-
ach so you can eat your favorite
foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times---they are slow, but not sure
"Papc's Diapepsin" is positive in
ncutralizing the acidity, so the mis-
cry won't come back very quickly.
You feel different as soon as
"Pape's Diapepsin" comes in contact
with the stomach-distreS just van
ishes-your stomach gets sweet, no
gases, no bclching, no eructations of
undigested food, your head clears
and y0u feel fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made. by getting a large
fifty-cent case Of Pape's Diapepsin
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to suf-
fer from indigestion, dyspepsia, or
any stomach disorder, due to acid
fermentation. ADV.

a regulation OF our habits by the

operations an hour earlier than has
heretofore been our custom. and
closing business an hour earlier, thus
giving all an opportunity. while day
light still guides our efforts, to do
essential work in tho gardens and
fields. There are many who will be
disposed TO sCoff at the idea rs use
less. "cn3clcss, unnecessary, yet the
economic value cannot be success
fully questioned when we consider
the country as Il whole and the pop
ulatiCn in tho same light. While
many Of us work throughout the
year, getting ourselves out Of bed
long before daylight comes, and
working till long after daylight has
fled, still there arc others who lose
the best part OF each day to all eco
nOmic effort. Those who have an
aversion to getting ont Of bed before
O'Clock will. with tho clocks run up.
soon find 1t quite rs easy still to get
up ut that hour by the clock. even

is an hour earlier than they have
