THE,MEMORIAL FUND. N
.W M. Barnwell, chairman of Ab- j'
beville County for the South Caro-1 <
lina Memorial Asociation, has re- 1
ceived notice that this county is >
asked to raise $3,500.00 for the ?
State Memorial fun. The campaign 1
begins Monday, September 29 and j
ends Saturday, November 11.
The legislature has aprpopriated'
$100,000 tb the fund and the State i
is exnected to raise $400,000 froir | ^
subscriptions from the citizens. j
Abbeville County should raise its ^
quota in one day. The people j
should respond at once and we believe
that they will. A long drawn T
out campaign for the money, with j
the result in doubt, is a contingency
to be deplored. Spontaneous c
liberality is expected from the citizens
in recognition of South Carolina
soldiers and sailors who helped j f
to win the great war. Any other
response, though the money should, ^
be raised eventualy, would be a dis-'
annointment. The service men de-1.
serve such a response to the call for
* funds for the memorial as will make
them feel that their achievements i
overseas have ben appreciated.
The members of the campaign I
committee will be named later and j
will be published as soon as named, j
At present the only officials connected
with the campaign in this
county, are .W M. Barnwell, chair
man, and W. D. Wilkinson, treasurer.
It should not be necessary for any
extended canvass be made. Those
who* wish to subscribe can give personally
or send their subscriptions
to Mr. Barnwell or to Mr. Wilkinson.
Arf opportunity will be given to
uie scnoi ocmiaren ox mis county 10 { j
subscribe to the fund. . No large
amount will be asked or expected. It
will be merely a chance given to the ,
children to express their sentiment
toward the service men in some ma- .
t S
terial form, so that they can feel, (
when they are grown and can see j (
the monument that they had somej (
part in building it.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION = |
Good roads come Ahead of any-j
;hing else in th^ South now. When!
;he war came our section of the coun- ,ry
was just making a beginning in '
;he important matter of road build- j'
ng. Then the work slackened, I
and for the last two j1
rears came practically to a full halt. |1
Roads that were built of temporary i*
naterials went to rack and ruin. Finei'
sand-clay roads that were the joy of
jrog-ressive counties three years ago '
ire now sad spectacles. Fortunately '
;he fills are there and the cuts arejJ
;here, and the building of permanent
oath is simply a matter of calling in'1
jxpert engineering skill and paying
;he necessary price?the price that',
nust be paid for all good things. 1,
j
The present road situation is par-T'
Ocularly pointed and critical for!'
;hree reasons First, read construc-! 1
ion and even road maintenance has ,
1 1
seen largely suspended for two or^
;hree years, and deterioration has!
- i '
jone its way, unchecked; second,!
;ruck traffic is a great deal heavier
;han;it was even a year ago, andj
;rucks call for stronger, stouter;
oads; third, this has been an un-j
lsually rainy summer season in most
>ections of the Southeast, and the
leavy. travel has gotten the roads in
'earful condition. Even some of the
nain, imposingly-named highways of!
;he' South are almost impassable, in!
jlaces, during these rainy spells. 11
So, the South has hot only resolved
to have rqads, but to have good *
oqds, the best that can be built. City
uid' counties have' their choice of
several first-class paving materials, I
>n the order of brick and cement, I
md standard paving materials like! I
Jtese are receiving far more serious '
longideratioh than ever before.?In- i
