The public highway fnxm Abbeville by Due Weat to Donalds has reached Due West. A large force of hands are grading down the hill between the A. R. P. church and Mrs. James Boyce's residencew This same force af hands is grading down the north portion of the Woman's College campus, just in front of the A. R. r. :hurch. It will improve the looks of the campus. The highway from here to Abbeville looks like another road. The course of the road in many Dlaces has been changed and the road widened all the way, so that one would hardly recognize it. With the fine condition of the roads now, on account of the cotinued dry weather the greatest trouble with auto drivers is to keep from driving too fast. This stretch of road in its pres ent condition would please our friend, the editor of the Newberry Observer, who is fond of fast driv ing, "When the right man is at the steering wheel." ?.
