rag firm is crowded to the limit with
W4.TIS. Few states have seen such ar
impetus as Georgia has in the road
program. Why $25,000,000 could be !
appropriated in the state this year,
and every dollar of it would be
matched by the counties.”
Billion Next Year
Information from the federal roads
department at Washington seems to
indicate that congres will appropri
ate not less than one billion dollars
for the 1920 road program of the
government. In 1919 only $200,000,-
000 was appropriated and all of this j
has been absorbed and it has not
nearly covered the demands.
It is said that another apportion
ment will be made in February, 1920.
It is hoped that Georgia’s share of
this apportionment will be two or
th re e times greater than the 1919 ap- i
portionments.
"If the present legislature passes
the state highway bill—and every in- I
dication now is that it will,” an of
ficial said today, “state funds will be
available at once. That is, we hope to
arrange it so that the countiles that
have issued bonds can go ahead and
sell their bonds, begin the immedi
ate building of their roads, and later
secure a dollar-for-dollar refund
from the state.”
The bill now before the legislature
contemplates that the state build
•ne through highway for each repre
sentative it as jn the legislature. Un
der this plan Sumter will have two
state highways running through the
county. The state highway commis
sion and the chief engineer already
have mapped out these state built
highways. It is the highways on this

“Go after every cent you can get,”
I wa s the advice of one of the officials.

j ed you. Prepare to take advantage of
th e state highway money if this bill
passes this year. It is the opinion of
engineers that funds will be available
just about as fast as roads can possi
bly be constructed. But whatever
els’e you do, don’t turn down your
apportionment. This wall put your
county in bad with the national and
state officials. The counties that use
their apportionments to the best ad-1
vantage—taking the interest of the
state, the federal government as well I
as the county itself into consideration j
are the counties that will build the
greatest mileage of roads and build
them FIRST. It is these counties that
will reap the greatest financial bene
fit from their investments.
“Georgia i s destined to lead the
country in road building from now
on,” he continued. “Farm values are
jumping by leaps and bounds all over
the states. Those counties that have
not voted bonds are being shunned |
by the buyers of farm lands that are
flocking into the state. These non
bcnd voting counties are getting un
savory reputations. On the other
hand counties that are putting forth
the greatest efforts are the counties
that are given pn*ference by buy
ers.”
Thursday, up at the state capitol
building, will see one great, grand,
glorious scramble for federal funds.
The counties are sending their best—
their most persuasive orators, to At
lanta, to set forth the claims of their
respective counties. If the flowery
pictures of possible developments, of
developments already achieved as
they will be painted by these repre
sentatives Thursday before the Geor
gia Fighway Commission, could be
j holographed and thrown on the mov

gold rush of the Forty-niners look

MORE ABOUT LEOLA.
CHAPTER XXI.
itpROM that time on we quarreled
* constantly,’ Everett went on in
the same repressed tones. “Yet often
after our fiercest quarrels we would
give voice to our love for each other
I just as fiercely. Leola was the most
beautiful woman I have ever known. |
Also, the quickest to take offense.
! She could not brook restraint. In
stead of trying to prevent my jeal- !
ousy, she laughed at it, and delib
erately did things to arouse it.
Things I— no man in love can en
dure with calmness. But Leola was
just as proud as she was reckless. I
threatened to divorce her. We had
been at the seashore -for several
weeks. That night she ran away and
—drowned herself. Her body was
not found for hours. But that we
kept secret, no one knows she was a
suicide—no one but me.
“I beg you will not speak to any
one here of her—Leola. We were not
living here when it happened. I had
taken her away some time before in
the hope that she would be kinder to
me. I have intended to tell you of
her, but I cannot talk of her calmly
even yet—so I w-aited.’
That “yet” hurt me. I had felt a
certain relief when he said she was
dead. But—he still loved her, or—
did he? I must find out.
“Leola was twenty-eight when she
left me—nine years ago,” he added
after a few moments —-“it seems like
yesterday,” again he seemed to be
unatvare of my presence as he said
the last few words.
I could keep still no longer. This
Leola had been dead nine years yet
he still grieved over her. I gathered
my courage to ask:
“If you were so unhappy with her,
why did you want to get married
again, why”—
“Unhappy ” he interrupted, again
seemingly forgetting to whom he
was talking. “I never shall know
what it means to be happy”—
This time it was I who interrupted.
“Why did you marry me?” I asked
excitedly. He was hurting me too
dreadfully.
“Yes—you have a right to ask that
too. I was attracted to you from the
first. You are very like Leola in
coloring. She had just that wonder
ful hair—that you have. But I had
no thought then of marrying again.
But you seemed to like me, to enjoy
being with me. I saw the simple
way you had been brought up. The
kind of parents you had. You would
be a wholesome woman. You had
none of the diabolical fascinations
some women possess. But you would
make a good wife and mother. I
want such a wife and I want chil
dren. If you are what you promise
to be, we will be happy together.
Now please leave me alone . I am
very tired tonight—l have had a
hard day. And tins has been hard
for me as well as for you. Before
you go there is just one thing I
want to say. Never as long as we
live together mention —her to me
again. I have been perfectly honest
with you; have told you all there is
to tell. Never speak of what I have
confided to you if you value my—
love,” he had hesitated just a second
I before the last word, “Now, good
night.”
I was dismissed. Yet an the mo
ment my principal feeling was one
of compasion for the man who sat
before the grate fire, who had cov
eted his eyes with his hands when
he stopped speaking, and who had
seemingly forgotten that I existed.
The revulsion came when I reach
ed my room. It was still early and
bed seemed a far poss bmty. My
brain was seething, boiling with
what I had just heard. I must think,
think.
One thought seemed to stalk more
boldly than the rest through my mind •

. —that Leola.” Young as I was, I
i realized the passion in his voice
when he spoke of her. Never had it
been there for me. But I was his
wife No one, not even Leola could
take that from me. And he was a j
widower, so could rightfully marry
me. My mind fairly reeled with
thoughts that pressed dowm upon it.
But it was not until worn out by my
emotion, sick at byart because al-
' though he was my husband Everett
loved a dead woman: that the reason
for his marrying me came over me in
all its—to me—stark unloveliness. He
had married me because he thought I
would make a good wife and mother.
How dreadful not because he loved
me; but for those other reasons. He
didn’t think me attractive enough to
make him jealous if I did have hair
like her’s, like Leola. I tore at my
heavy braids until I hurt myself so
I was obliged to stop or cry out with
pain. I hated my hair I would
have dyed, or I would cut it off.
It was because my hair was like
her’s he had been attracted to me.
He didn’t love me at all. He never
had.
I do not think that up to that
night in the library when he told
me of his love for Leola that I was
at all in love with Everett. I had
admired him, been flattered by his
attentions and his gifts. But now .
there suddenly dawned the thought ,
that I loved him at the same moment
I decided that he cared nothing for
me. It was torture.
Long afterward I knew that Ever- 1
ett had not quite realized how cruel
ly he had told his story. Not in the
word, perhaps, but in the tones of
his voice, and in his almost whis
pered words when he seemingly for
got that I was his wife. That he
was talking to me—that I had mar-1
ried him and couldn’t get away, but
must bear whatever he chose to put
upon me to bear. And I must bear I
it alone. neither to him nor any
other could I speak of what I felt

I Kidney and Bladder weakness result .
s from uric acid, says a noted authority.
I The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
' it often remains to irritate and inflame,
causing a burning, scalding sensation, or
■ setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
1 i water passes sometimes with a scalding
I j sensation and is very profuse; again,
> there is difficulty in avoiding it.
[ Bladder weakness, most folks call ft,
because they can’t control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
t the most simple ailments to overcome,
s Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
, from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
’ breakfast, continue this for two or three
1 days. This will neutralize the acids in
I the urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
i Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
L lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
- is used by thousands of folks who are
i subject to urinary disorders caused by
{ uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen- I

: INDIGESTION
1 LOSS OF APPETITE i
And Similar Troubles Helped by Zlron Irop
Tonic, Says Alabamian.
“I got a bottle of Ziron”, writes
Marshall Rhordes, of Eufaula, Ala.,
“and took it for indigestion, nervous
ness, loss of appetite and similar trou
bles. It helped me very much. My
mother-in-law suffered with the same
troubles, so I gave her a dose or two
of Ziron, and she says it helped her
greatly. I will always keep a bottle
of Ziron in the house and will speak
a good word for it whenever I have
the opportunity.’’
Ziron is a new combination of Iron,
with the hypophosphites of lime and
soda, and other valuable tonic ingre
dients, which have been found to
build up the enemic, weak, worn-out j
system. Ziron puts Iron into your I
blood when you need It If you are '
pale, vveak, nervous, depressed, have no j
appetite, It Is probably a sign that your 1
blood needs Iron, l ake Ziron.

National Anthems.
“The Star-Spangled Bannerols now
regarded as our national anthem; that
of England. “God Save the King;”
France, “The Marseillaise.” The other
allies apparently have no distinguish- j
ing title for their national airs. The
national air of Italy is known to us
simply as the “Italian National Hymn”
and that of Portugal as the “National j
Air of Portugal,” etc.
Speaker’s Sore Throat.
“Clergyman’s sore throat” is, accord- I
ing to Dr. John J. Levbarg of New j
York, due to an incorrect method of
breathing, which causes the speaker i
or singer to use his muscles incorrectly I
and thus overtax the throat. The
proper way to breathe is to use the
diaphragm and the lower ribs, keep- I
ing the upper chest full of air.
How a Crab Grows.
The crab’s equivalent to the inter-|
nal bones of animals is its tough outer 1
shell, which does not grow. The baby |
crab is forced to get rid of this tough
confining person. So it breaks itself
loose internally and then splits its
old protecting home across the ex
treme back ridge, creeping out in that
way.
