E. 13- A "LL. .D'Tr,. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C.. as second class matter. TUESDAY, JANUARY . 17, 1905 Good Roads. Cun1ectiCut s high\way conis1lJI er, James Ii. .1acdoiald, who is one of the best informed good roads men in the country, pledges the support of the American Road Makers to any feasible plan for improving the roads of the nation. 1In his address, read before the recent convention, held by the New York and Chicago Road association and the Erie chamber of commerce, at Eric, Pa., he said: Perhaps there is no section of highways in the United States that is quite so much an important tactor as the road proposed from New York city up to and through Poughkeepsie, folowing the Hudson, with all its historic interests on through the southern tier of New York and out through the Panhandle of Pennsyl vania, thence through to Chicago, Ill. Towns, cities and counties are all traversed in a very interesting way; the town and the county are each passed through in their turn. Five states and thirty-three counties, with a total population of nearly twelve million of people, are assist ed into pleasant travel, thus making a great moving panorama of inter est when this road has been improv ed as it is proposed. The great lakes of Illinois and Michigan, this great necklace of pearls, the millions of tons of freight moving upon their broad and expan sive bosoms, represent in no uncer tain way the largest commercial in terests in the United States. With the introduction and the building of this great $Ioo,ooo,ooo canal, which has just been successally inaugura ted under the able direction of E. A. Bond, there will be an added impetus to the question of waterways and highways. For quite a number of years th trend of the popular mind has been the improvement of railroads, so that it is quite possible today to find your self comfortably seated in a Pullman vestibuled car carried along at the rate of a mile a minute. Indeed, we find on the other side a train recently run at the rate of 140 miles an hour, and it is quite frequent that we hear of the ioo-mile an hour train. This will satisfy, I think, the most active business mind. We have our ocean steamners crossing the Atlantic in less than six days. With the introduction of this canal, which was superseded orig:aally by railroads, we are now, turning our attention to this question of improving the main arteries of our highna~ys throughout the country. It seemis to me that our country oc cupies one of the most prominent po sitions today of any country in the world. and we only need improved highways to stand first among the 'nations of the earth. In making an analogy I have in mind the time when I was quite a young man, that grandma was not only herself very busily engaged, but she had also the children of the household busy, mak ing patches and putting those patches into blocks and after she had got to gether a large number of blo:ks, then -,she put in the strips which united and made a perfect whole or outside cov ering for the quilt. This country has been sewing together for the last 284 years and making the blocks for all lines of business enterprise. Now a perfect connection of all our large interests would be the putting in of man's highway. We have the very best public service in steam and elec irc roads and we have no peer on the -waters of lake, river or ocean, and I think we are ready to take up this question of the improvement of the main arteries of the land, the roads of our country. *Care of Horses' Neck. Indiana Farmer. Most farm horses suffer from abra sions oif the skin on the necck (luring the summer work. and this is so se vere in many cases as to keep the horse from doing a full day's work. Try this plant of treating the farm horse during the season of hard work: After feeding the horse., rshf alln perspiration with a soft )rush, or, betted still, wipe it off with i large cloth. Then with tepid water, ponge the head. neck and shoulders md wipe dry with a clean cloth. If he shoulders show indications of reness. rub over them a little vase 1e and let it remain over night.

In order to reduce stock be fore making our annual inven tory we have decided to inaug urate a clearpnce sale, begin ning Thursday, January 12th, at 9 o'clock a. m., and contin uing until we have disposed of our surplus stock at prices that will give all the profits to our trade while the sale lasts. On all Shoes, H ats, Caps, Pants, Clothing, Win ter Underwear and Gloves we will allow a dis e count of twenty-five per cent. (25 per cent.) This will en able the retail buyers in these lines to supply themselves at less than they could buy them from the manufacturers of these goodsTby the dozen or .case; and farmers who have their hands to supply during .the summer will find it a great saving in buying their supplies of these goods before this sale closes. The slump in cotton has left us with too many goods and this is the chance you 'have to save part of the price in cotton. Come early and get the choice of all o fthem. No memorandum made during this sale. A.O.Jonies1 P ROP R IETOR. W. F. Ewart, M A NAG ER.
