I CONCERNING ROADS j?
Greenville, S. C., Feb. 7, 1920. jfc
, Mr. William P. Greene, **
Abbeville, S. C.
Dear Sir: w
Replying to your favor of the 6th
instant, would say, the top-soil roads r?
in Greenville county have on a whole," le
in ray judgment,, oeen emmcnuj oan-jiu
isfactory, provided they are scraped ;S<
when required, certainly every two gi
V months, and the top-soil replaced ss
p- where it has disappeared. The ob?!gi
| jection to top-soil roads is the lack of jOi
top-soil within a reasonable distance,gi
of the roads that can be used for re-jes
E placement, as the immediate supply j
is soon exhausted; and replacements ai
are absolutely necessary. This is the in
, difficulty and danger I see ahead as th
' to the maintenance of our top-soil w
roads. as
The greatest enemy to the top-soil.in
roads is the cut-out on automobiles J ^
g|&. trucks and particularly autocycles. |w
These cut-outs are low down to the w
ground, and act as a high powered^
fan in blowing the top-soil away from
the road bed and creating a great C1
cloud of dust, which finds lodgement C1
in adjoining fields.
The ordinary use of automobile ve- '
hides would not be so injurious but
on our country roads J find that ^
1?.\ trucks and autocycles almost habitually
are running with their cut-out a
j&\ wide open. q
a ? ?wstasJ imnrnvpmpntl
Ally permanent iuau ?
will deteriorate, and needs constant
repairs, as we have found in Greenville
County with the use of macad- j
am covered with tarvia, even when'
built on a concrete foundation. [q
Good roads are like Liberty, and ?
need constant vigilance to insure
their usefulness and efficiency.
Yours truly, (

anufac-! Speaking last night at Springfield,
As the ^ Mass., Samuel Gompers, President

whom , b0r, made a severe attack on Coneverage
gress. He said in part:
ibability I "Speaker Gillette said that the
as sub-! Congress made a fight upon the
is vei:y i trusts. That kind of fight seems to
d liksely jthe people of the United States to be
'iart: ie- ]more of a burlesque. Ask any citizen

United | wiH be readily forthcoming. Conis
in ac- gress has utterly failed to protect
rcement the people of the United States from
ent law, the trusts and the profiteers. As for
ject hasjthe charge that labor in a menace to
Prohibi- thme business of the country, it is
p writes absolutely unfounded and an unwarranted
attack upon the workers of
tate or our Republic, who are trying to obfor.
or afford then and their dependents the
urers of opportunity to subsist despite the
