That is plausible. A number of
counties in South Carolina have lost
population in the last decade and
others have gained little.
1T would hardly be unsafe to pre-
dict that the counties neglecting to
improve the highways in the next
ten years will drop far back in the
procession. The signs are that ev-

Connections between shipyards and
coal and iron works are being made
in increasing numbers. The ship
yards are making feverish efforts
to renew Germany's commerce fleet.
Such reconstruction is given an inn
petus by the recent agreements be-

deutscher Lloyd line and the U. S.
