Sand Clay Roads.
The Charlotte Chronicle advises
the Mecklenburg road officials to
come !"0 Catawba and Iredell and
take a lesson in model road-build
ing. Mecklenburg was the pio
neer in road-building and the
Mecklenburg roads have for
twenty years been held up as ob
ject lessons to other counties and
other states. But the Chronicle
says the Mecklenburg macadam
roads are ant quated compared
with the sand-clay roads we are
building in Catawba, notwith
standing that they co*t three
times as much. The Enterprise
makes no claim to superior wis
dom and foresight and had no pre
monition in regard to the approach
of the sand-clay era in roadbuild
ing, but we take pride in the fact,
that we always opposed the un
dertaking of macadam roads, or
the ground that they cost tco
much money. By waiting till t e
cheaper and better process was
devised, we have i.ot on'y saved
two-thirds of the first cost but al
most, if not quite, the other third
in the cost of repairs. The year
ly cost of keeping the macadam
road in repair is as much as the
first cost of the sand-clay road,
while the latter outlasts the ma
cadam by many years and costs
very little for repair. In Bun
combe and Guilford where the
Mecklenburg macadam plan of
road was first adopted, they have
been abondoned altogether. The
next roads built are being tor n up
or covered with sand-ciay. Meck
lenburg is stil' clinging to the old
system because so much money
has been spent on it that the road
officials hate to throw them away
and begin over again And they
cannot stop repairing them, for
the rains and vehicles would soon
destroy them. —The Newton En
terprise.
Surprising Cure of Stomach
Trouble.
When you have trouble with your

imagine that your case is beyond help
just because your doctor fails to give
you relief. Mrs. G. Stengle, Plain

past I have been troubled with my
stomach. Everything I ate upset it
terribly. One of Chamberlain : s ad
vertising booklets came to me. After
reading a few of the letters from people
who had been cured by Chamberlain's
Tablets, I decided to try them. I
have taken nearly three-rfourths of a
package of them and can now eat al
most everything that I want." Foi
