In 1914, said Ex-Governor B!case,
getting his stride, so to speak, ana
launching into one OF his characterls-
tic attacks upon his political enemies,
they were squealing fo: law and order.
But let me tell you something: Since
1914 there has been more killings, more
stealing and more robbery in this state
than there were for ten years before
that. And there are more unpaid tax
es in South Carolina right now than
there has ever been known in the his
tory OF the state.
| am merely stating facts to you. I
am not candidate for any office and
so far as know today. standing on
this platform, | never will be-. speak
to rou as a citizen Interested in the
welfare OF his people. Personally am
having the best time since leaving the
governors chair that l have ever had.
| am having the best eating and wear
ing the best clothes have ever worn.
The speaker departed from affairs or
state for moment to take, d shot at
the policy of the mill arrangements TO
spend money in the promotion OF well
fare work among textile workers. why
Enot use the moneE.by adding 1t TO the
salary OF textile workers and thus give
them a living wage? he inquired.
He paid his respects To the state tax
commission, saying that the people OF
South Carolina had as much business
carrying the state tax commission as
IN aeroplanc would have dragging an
automobile.

Do YOU want to know who is the

is the son Of a Yankee renegade who

tons OF asphalt quantity suff1-
cient for so. 600 miles OF roads and
streets, or double the entire mileage
OF the The Route Rationale, the
main highway system OF France,
have gone into roads and streets in
this country. A census OF city paw

364,901.611 square yards OF paved

Other Types Favored.
The types most favored, not only
for paved streets but for improved
roads, included not only the asphal

cadam. Brick IS highly desirable but
more costly than some types. Maca-
dam is a satisfactory type when COM
bined with bituminous binder
which makes the road dustless and
prevents raveUing. It costs but little
more than the old type Of macadam
because of the fact that the cost of
