We feel said President l.. ID. J"E-

ic organizations in the state are hear
tily in sympathy with US and that most
of them will become active members
of the organization which we are
forming for the purpose Of trying to
shape the good roads sentiment i'll
the state along definite channels.
In whatsoever order you place
their Importance, the following are
three essentials that Soutl: Carolina
must have: Good health, good roads,
good schools Each one has All I'M
portant relation to the other; to pro
mote one is to help the other; they
are inseparable.
South Carolina has paid for mud
roads tax far in excess Of the cost
of a modern system of highways.
South Carolina has long been not
ed for her conservatism. Conserva-
tism might be profitable, but bad
roads are not. Let US pay good
roads tax instead Of mud tax"

PARR SHOALS GETS
LARGE ADDITION

The State, 2Sth.
The Columbia Railway, Gas & Elec-
tric Co. has just completed Sl4l,-
600 addition at Ware Shoals. This
addition is in the form of new elec-
trio generator and transformer which
will increase the capacity of the plant
25 per cent. This increase will en-
able the company to supply much
larger territory than formerly.
The break in the locks at the Co.
lumbia canal has also just about been
completed by the company. About
20 odd feet Of the dam was washed
away recently and the new section
will complete the locks and enable the
company to save about $500 each day,
the cost of operating the steam plant
per day. The cost of repairing the
locks was about $4,000. The COM

When they keep asking all the while
They're looking for bale Of tripe,

And round the Office they will stick
It'll l get peeved and darn near sick.
But yet l have to smile and say:

AS if to say: 81 think you lie;"
I spread them one elastic grin
And say: ''It will soon be comm IN. y
If Mister Hays would come and see

And hewQuld let me keep my job.
He'd say: Dear Doc, if you'll stay

Jones Private Argument"

More than fifty years ago Sidney
Lanier, Georgia's honored poet, voic-
ed the attitude of the cotton farmers
in the following lines:
That ar same Jones, which lived in
Jones.
He had this pint about him:
He'd swear hundred sighs and
groans,
That farmers must stop gittin' loans,
And git along without 'em.
That bankers, warenousemen and sich
Was fatt: min on the planter,
And Tennessy was rottpn-rich
A-raisin' meat and corn, all which
Draw'd money to Atlanta.
And the only Thing (says jones' to do
Is, eat no meat that's boughten,
But tear up every |. 0. u,
And plant all corn and swear for true
To quit a-raisin' cotton!
Thus spouted Jones whar folks could
hear,
And thus kept spoutin' many year:
Proclaimin' loudly far and near
Sich fiddlesticks and blatherin's.
But one alfred sweatin' day,
1t happened l was hoein'
My lower corn-feld, which it lay
Longside the road that runs my way,
Whar 1 can see what's goin'.
And a'ter twelve o'clock had come
/ felt kinder faggin',
And laid myself un'eath a plum
To let my dinner settle sum,
When long com Jones's waggin.

"O the magnificent great stone man
sion and charming formal gardens
- as shown in the photograph OF Cas-
tie Ashby, in England, on the left hand
side of this page, Lord Northampton, the
bridegroom has just brought home his
charming bride.
What could be more romantic, what
more satisfying to young woman's ambi-
lions and dreams than to become the mis-
tress of this magnificent great mansion
with it's splendid great salons, dining halls.
long, spacious Railways with endless
krooms' opening out of them, a gallery Of
old masters-and those charming acres or
exquisite gardens to be seen from every
window of the great palace!
But the dream ends here. There is
rift in the lutte, there is a fly in the oint-
ment, there is a skeleton in the closet for
the young bride.
The great walls of Castle Ashby are
there And the salons and dining rooms
and endless bedrooms are also there, and
from the windows the acres of the estate
are, to be sure, easy to see from every
side.
But Lord Northampton is hard-up.
While he has the mansion and the acres,
he hasn't the little army of household
servitors and gardeners which are neces-
sary to the proper upkeep Of this great
establishment.
Recently his lordship confessed, as he
cut down for the last time his force Of
servants:
81 was in doubt whether l could keep
open Castle Ashby in view Of the present
crushing taxation. | consulted my lawyers
and was advised that II would be impos-
sible to do so without borrowing money.
/ have decided to do this, and hope by ex-
ercising strict economy to make my es-
tates selfsupporting in time"
But perhaps Lord Northampton's bride
will be able to help him out in his strait
ened circumstances and bring along a few
of her own household servants, and per-
haps her father can spare a gardener or
two to pick up things around the place.
II the reader will look In the lefthand
corner of the page he will see the quite
ample and spacious home which Lady
Emma Thyme has left to become the
chatelaine Of Lord Northampton's Castle
Ashby.
Il is apparent without counting the win
dows or calculating the front. side and
hack footage that Lady Emma Is not &C
customed to live in any small bungalow.

Ashby is two stories high, Lady Emma's

The Marquises OF Northampton, by the
way, owed much of their wealth to the
fact that one of the family married the
heiress of Sir John Spencer. Lord Mayor

nobleman. who then returned to the house
disguised as bakers man. The Lord
Mayor met him and gave him new six
pence for luck. not knowing that the young
man was carrying away the heiress in his
bread basket.
Later Queen Elizabeth asked the Lord
Mayor to come and see a new born baby
she wished him to adopt in place of his
daughter, whom he had disowned. He
obeyed the Queen and then found the little
one was his own grandchild. Through this
alliance the Comptons inherited a large
section of London, in the district of Clerk
enwell. which has been more valuable to
them than their country estates.
The marriage of the present Marquis
was celebrated duly on October 16, in the
presence of a vast gathering of the British
aristocracy and the loyal servitors and
tenantry. II was the most brilliant social
event Of the season. The young couple
went away to their honeymoon, their coun-
try houses and their extraordinary domes-
tic burdens.
Il 10 interesting to note that the Marquis

as big as Castle Ashby This is Compton
Wynyates, in Warwickshire.
There is indeed much doubt at the pres
ent moment whether many members of the
old British nobility will long be able to
maintain such enormous houses as Castle
Ashby and Longleat House. II is expected
that many of them will be turned into
schools, hospitals and institutions, while
others will be pulled down.
The income tax runs up to so per cent
on incomes over 100000 a year The
owner Of such house as Castle Ashby Is
obliged to estimate its annual value as part
of his income, but such house brings in
no income but costs 100000 or $500, 900
year to maintain.
The result is that II a nobleman has a
large money income II nearly all goes in
taxation, while II his income is small II is
all used up in paying the tax on his great
house.
The Government is now completing
new valuation Of the land which will Inn

Radicals are rejoicing and declare that
II is quite right that the nobility should be
forced to give up their vast houses. They
say there is no reason why men should own

Oh, WELL that's the way with lot of these modern
young wives Marry in haste and repent at leisure,

And you wouldn't believe it, but Casper beats her!
For ALMOST week, now, Mrs. Cassidy has been
haunting the offices of Seattle lawyers seeking bargain

She has met lawyers of all sorts-shyster and
ethical, dignified and jazzy
One lawyer tried in fatherly sort of way to talk
her out of her di6brce notion Another wanted to
rush right into court. He probably needed the fee.
So she has a very fair size-up of lawyers, has
