Considerable progress has been * made on the Calhoun highway since its incorporation into the state system by the highway commission and reports from officers of the Calhoun Highway association, which Is pro. motlng the road, indicate that this t road will be rapidly built and every possible effort to speed up the work will be made. This highway has now been recognised by the Georgia and South Carolina highway departments. The route suns from Cheraw across Chesterfield county to Lancaster, thence to Chester, Carlisle, Whitmire, Clinton, Mountville, Cross Hill, Coronaca, Greenwood, Abbeville, Calhoun Falls, Elberton and Athens, Ga. It will probably reduce the mileage of , the Bankhead National highway between Raleigh and Atlanta by abou< 40 or 45 miles, and will be a strong competitor for recognition as a short route of the Bankhead National highway. At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the assiciation authority was given for the development of a branch line, Cheraw to Wilmington, ? N. C., which would give a short route from Wilmington to Atlanta and the West. This road will be a complete top soil road early in 1922 across Chesterfield county. Lynches river bridge is now about to be built. ? Lancaster county expects to have the road finished across that county by the middle of 1922. A portion of the road has been built In Chester * eounty, but the section from two miles west of Chester to Broad river has liven for a bond issue which will promot been built. Authority has been given for a bond iBSue which will produce funds to complete the route when the bonds can be sold at par. One township in Union county has - also provided for a bond issue, with which it will build the Calhoun highway across the township where it oomee within three miles of the Appalachian highway, aready constructed into Wfcitmire. 1 Counties at Work. Newberry county requires only to Improve the Appalachian highway * .V- TT>_ !?, /? U'hltmlra irum iuo duui cc i a v ci luhv u uiuuii? * and to build one mile to the Laurens county line. Laurens county is now building, with a force of 85 laborers, between Whitmire and Clinton, and has already built the greater portion of tthe road from Clinton to Mountrille. This section has not yet been top soiled, but wil be topsoiled dor. lng the winter. Laurens Cross-Hill highway will be used from Mountville to old Cross Hill. Thence the new road will shortly be constructed to (Fuckett's ferry on the Saluda river. A bill has already been passed requiring Greenwood and Laurens counties to bridge the Saluda river at Puckett's ferry, and funds will be provided at the next meeting of the legislature for the construction of this bridge. Greenwood also contemplates early construction to the Abbeville county line from the city of Greenwood. Abbeville is now building from the Greenwood county line into Abbevill , and is surveying from Abbeville to Calhoun Falls. The bridge engineer of the Georgia state highway department is making surveys of Savannah river near Calhoun Falls with a view to determine upon the site of the Savannah river k bridge. All of the counties in South Carers lina are pledged to the support of this k highway and have made requests to the state highway commission ror recognition of the highway as a portion of the state highway system. The route is now eligible for federal aid when available. Three large bridges will have to be built on the Catawba, T Broad and the Savannah, with a fairly large bridge on the Saluda. Federal aid will be sought for the three . large bridges and possibly for the Saluda bridge. Other smaller bridges will have to be Improved later. May Reopen Biext Tear. It is highly likely that the route will be declared open for traffic not later than July 1 1922, though three of the rivers will have to be crossed by ferry at that time. It is the desire of the association to have no tolls, but to have free bridges and freej roads t throughout ultimately. Tempoharily, however, toll ferries will be depended upon for the three large river crossings. \ The Calhoun Highway associatioib has several thousand members, and is organised in local highway clubs along the route, each local association having a president, secretary and treasurer, and vice president. There ire county vice presidents, and also state vice presidents for the states of y Georgia and South Carolina, with a general president and secretary and treasurer. One-half the funds of the ^ local associations are converted into t Turkey Supper. Baptist Young Peoples Union will give a turkey supper Tuesday night Nov. 22nd from 6:30 till 9 o'clock at the town hall. Tickets, adults $1.00 children under 12 yrs. 75c on sale qt Drug Stores.

The Mothers Club had a very interesting program at the residence of Mrs. Robt. Chapman Friday afternoon. This being Armistice Day the first selections were of patriotic type and thoroughly enjoye.l by the members ] of the Club and visitors. The pro- ( gram was as follows: ( Song?Star Spangled Banner. 1 On Flanders Field?Mrs. S. C. Gra- . ham. I The Marseillaise?Mrs. Stanley. i The Unknown Dead?Mrs. Joe Llnd- , | say. ] Mrs. E. Walker Duvall gave a short talk on the work of "The Dug-out" 1 Id. New York and asked our coopera- 1 tion to this end. i Our regular program then followed 1 Which was very instructive and in. I spiring to the members. The pro- ' gram was as follows: i Paper, What the Child Means to < the Parents?Mrs. McLeod. I Poem, Baby May?Mrs. J. L. Ander- < son. 1 Poem, Oh! Sleep My Babe?Mr3. J. 1 W. Malloy. 1 Poem, Choosing a Name?Mrs. S. 0. ? Pegues. I Poem, Hush Thee My Baby?Mrs. 1 Wilson McCreieht. 1 Song?America. A social half hour was then enjoyed and coffee and cakes were served. So far the cooperative attitude of the entire Club is to be commended for they seem to realize that the success of the organization depends entirely on the continuous work of the members as a whole. Their progress thus far, demonstrates this fact. A full attendance of the members is requested at the next meeting at the residence of Mrs. J. A. Spruill, our president, on December the 9th. o Blanch Kinsey Class Entertains. The Sunday School class of Mr. Henry Wannamaker was most delight, fully entertained at an oyster suppelast Friday evening by the Blanche Kinsey Class at the Town Hall. The hall was beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums, greens and pot plants. After a eeneral social feature the guests were handed cards bearing a number and they were invited to a seat at the table bearing the corresponding number. Considerable amusement was created in the novel way in which the mem bers of the two classes were found to be seated at the various tables. After supper was served the follow, ing program was rendered: 1. Music?Mise Christine Davis. 2. A talk?Mr. L. C. Wannamaker. 3. Music?Miss Vera Stricklln. 4. Solo?Dr. Bunch. 5. Reading?Mr3. Earle H. Graves. 6. Solo?Mrs. Stanley. 7. Solo?Dr. Bunch. 8. Mr. Frank Wilson, president of the class, in a pleasing manner, ex. tended thanks to the Blanche Kinsey Class. At the conclusion of the program, cigarettes and cigars were served to the guest3. the general treasury. There are two directors from each county traversed i by the route. Several points on the route have never as yet organized, but notwithstanding this deficiency in organization most remarkable progress has been made in putting through the force of the organization ltseir wnicn gives assuraute i u iuc public of successful development. With reference to the line to Wilmington, Mr. R. E. Hanna, Vice President Of Calhoun Highway, said the organization beyond Cheraw 'toward Wilmington was about complete and the route would run from Cheraw to Bennettsville to Dillon to Rowland, N. C., to Lumberton to Wilmington, and the following officers elected fo'^thfs link: x W. A. McGirt of Wilmington, N. C., Vice President of Calhoun Highway, L. R. Varser of Lumberton, N.
