' ' The Greenville News a few days a ago had an editorial concerning the fr good roads in Abbeville County. Es- li pecial notice was given of the road f from Honea Path to Abbeville. |F The truth is that we have come 11; nearer getting value received for v money spent on roads than any h # county of which we have knowledge, jd A few days ago a prominent citizen c< of Greenwood spoke to us of the [ fine tfork which has been done on i Baf-> I our reads, saying that our roads |; were superior to any of the newly j 'r built roads which he had seen. \lst We have had the services of good 'c< wian oe XTin?Vinr ntt f"1 nmmio_ _. men *115411* sionera and the county is greatly in- a< debted to them for the services they w have rendered. The pay they have^i received for these services is but poor pay for what they have done. !^0 ! ? But they have not worked for pay.' g We believe that each of them has as been prompted to serve the county on this board solely by his desire to w 1 be of public service. The best day's work the Highway q Commission has done since it became g, a working organization was in se-'gj curing the services of Engineer H. B p, WnmVmrt Mr Wnmherf is n first. < ?. - pi class engineer and a practical road sa builder. He made a fine Supervisor ^ for Laurens County. He has had lit- w tie to ?&y and some people have thought he was slow and that the, H I engineer's office was spending a.jj good deal of money. But the kind of j^r roads built under his supervision are sufficient to satisfy anybody that he has been on the job and that the i w money spent in the office of the en-jjj gi&eer has been well spent. !te We hope that the other roads tojtj be built before the Highway Com-'w mission completes its task will be asj satisfactory as these already com-je; pleted. If so we will have as good e( system of dirt roads as can be built, we believe. ?? But when we say this we would not have^he people believe that thej work is finished when the building j of these roads is 'completed. Time.-y and again we have warned the tax-! ^ payers and citizens of the county ^ that the large expenditure made for y these roads will be next to thrown a away unless adequate provision is j, made by the next legislature for f their up-keep. Already some of these, -y roads are getting in bad shape. The^ i. defects which are now showing up t should be speedily repaired or "<vej will hnvp miiffholes instead of de- .. "" ,C fects. That much is certain. I ~ t. ABBEVILLE'S "TRUNK LINES" 1 If it were announced that a new b railway had been completed in South a Carolina everyone would sit up and a take notice, but the mere news that 1< a new highway has been finished and g I ' ft I tpened to automobile traffic gets lit- Ni ,le more than passing thought. Yet he highway will transport in many :ases several times the traffic that a A ailway would. Perhaps the fact that ;here are so many new highways be- al ng opened all along accounts for the W iisinterested receptions given them. CI Traveling over the beautiful high-jal ray that has just been finished be-jin ween Honea Path and Abbeville, a 1st listance of some 25 or 30 miles, :N ??-J t-Ufk fo/if tliuf I vg were iinpre5>beu uj tuc x?\*w ****** Abbeville has an avenue of traffic tc omparable to a trunk line railway, m Then going on from Abbeville to ec Jreenwood where another highway :se s, being rapidly improved and will a >e opened to traffic within a few i1 nonths, we were moved to remark jb< hat Abbeville is soon to be in the {3, >osition of having the equivalent ofiyi wo new railways. i to There is not in South Carolina aj iner piece of dirt highway construc- jei ion than the road between Horfea ca Jath and Abbeville. It is wider than! he average topsoil road, is welf in Irained as safe as it is possible to ^ lake a highway, the topography con- Wl idered. One motors along with nojk* ear except of the speedometer au- ^h [itors. The Abbeville-Greenwood P? oad, designated as No. 7 by the >tate Highway commission, will be ?* nother model route when it is fin-'or shed. At present a detour is necesary. jn? Wl Abbeville ought to feel proud of hese highways and the upper sec- QI ion of the state should feel even rouder. They establish Abbeville in . . . so irect communication with every as ounty and .town in this up-state and, ^ etter still, invite every motor car wner to become acquainted with he beauty of this historic city. Abeville is the quintessence of charm, * nd those who do not know the ^ Dwn do not know their South Carona. The upper highway continues ^ rom Honea Path through Belton, 'elzer and Piedmont to Greenville . fo t is designated as No. 20. The News ^ entures the prediction that these ^ ighways, will be worth millions of ^ ollars to Abbeville and Abbeville ounty.?Greenville News. , MAX COMES TO TOWN. ed Max Below was in town today. He ,.n :arted to town riding on a bale of jtton. When cotton is twenty-five ^ ;nts per pound Max says he feels ev > dressed up riding on a bale as he co. ould walking down street with a amond ring on his finger. !ye But Max didn't come all the way th< ' town on the bale of cotton.' Col. wi J. Wakefield overtook him and ra-\ iked Max to ride to town in his to( wer. He told Max that if he didn't an ant to ride into the business sec- tio on that he might get out at the fal raded School dnd walk down street. Lo ut Max rode in. He says that Col*. ba< im told him all about the new Do rn\ ad he is showing to the cotton hin anters. Col. Sam told Max, so Max ed; ys, that if the Do Dad don't save of ,e farmers, "Nothing will, I know the hat I am talking about." za1 Max stopped at the Peoples Bank. Wl e said he didn't want to see Uncle we m because Jim always wants to an ade. Max says he is better off when noi ? comes to town and gets back )me without seeing Jim. But he poi nftn'f. lnriP" nnt nf thp bank before m; m \fras talking cotton to him and it filing him what a fine mare it was be lat Max bought the last time they ~e< ere in a trade. ,bu Max stopped in to see the corn les inhibits at the Corn Show. He look- er d through the whole show and then ou irned to friend Jim and inquired, m< Jim when are you going to sell it?" IN NEW YORK. th i wc Mrs. Ernest Glantzberg of New no 'ork City, formerly Miss Pinckney W .ee Estes of Columbia, is to hang out 00 er shingle in New York as a law- w: er, having been sworn in Monday ge s an attorney and counseller at law, in ccording to a telegram received va rom her by her cousin, Mrs. William or V. Bourke. Mrs. Glantzberer was Taduated in law from the Universi- to y.of Pennsylvania a year ago last su une. She is a young woman of un- be ommon intellect and her profession- hi 1 career will be watched with in-,sp erest by her friends in this state.? "he State. Mrs. Glantzberg will be remember- m y many of the readers of The Press fu nd Banner. She was a student for pa number of years at Erskine Col- or ?ge from which institution she ha raduated with high honors. 0, THE BOLL WEEVIL IS NOT PASSING. U^Udlil VJiU VIIXVIC. The Macon News prints an editori, under the caption, "Is the Boll reevil Passing?" To start with The hronicle wishes to state emphaticly that the boll weevil is not passg but is here to stay, and with this atement we will quote from The ews in part: * "The ginners' report for Washing>n county shows that almost 1,000 ore bales of cotton have been rais1 in that county during the past lason than for last year, although smaller acreage was planted. "On October 18, 1921, the numjr of bales ginned amounted to 526, and on the same date this 2ar the number was 4,419, which, be accurate, is an increase of 983. "We are also told that the farm's of Washington county used little ilcium arsenate this year. "The question has begun to arise the minds of a number of students ' amn'onltni-al if the hnll a^nvunuiu. eevil is not passing away. This has ien the history of almost every pest at has afflicted agriculture in the ist. Neither -in the field nor 'the orlard are there any great number insect enemies that made inroads i our crops a generation ago. Soonor later, by a wide provision of iture, a pest which otherwise would jrk universal ruin encounters a itural enemy and is kept in check ' perhaps passes away entirely. "Of course the chances are that me other bug will come along, just , the pink boll worm is following in e wake of the boll weevil, but ere are at least signs that substanil relief may come from the one ist which has done more to hamper e South's cotton crop than anying that has ever developed. "We are gratified to know that the rmers of Washington county will ceive several thousand dollars more r their cotton crop this year than ey did last year, and we hope that e same conditions prevail in proton all over the State. It would ean a greater degree of prosperity an we had counted upon.' What the News has to say in rerd to other pests that have afflictagriculture passing is perhaps j le, but there is no sign that then ]1 weevil is going to pass and we ve an idea that he is with us forer, certainly for as long a time as tton is planted in the South. The weevil entered Texas many ars ago and is still there, although j very hot summers and very cold nters in that state' cuts down his /apes to a great extent and then, ), Texas rainfalls is less than ours d the weevil thrives most in a secn with a high percentage of rain1. Ever since the weevil entered uisiana and Mississippi he has been d and there is no lessening of his rages unless the farmers combat (i with every known scientific remy. Cotton can be raised in the delta the Mississippi as it was before s weevil when there is high fertilition, rapid working, poisoning, etc. len there is a very wet summer do not believe that it is possible ywhv.J to make anything like a rmal yield. The Chronicle believes that it is ssible with a very dry summer to *ke cotton without 'poisoning, but is not safe to try it. There hdve' en some good yields made in this :tion without poisoning this year, t these spots were favored with ;s rain than others and the farm3 who made these good yields with-; t nftifloninc would have made much >re with poisoning. Now as for the boll weevil passing, ere is no hope fot it. We regret at a paper like the Macon News >uld encourage such an idea. We do it know the exact reason why pshington county made nearly 1,i' "iale3 more than last year but it ts probably due to more intellint farming, which includes poisonET, high fertilization, rapid cultition, etc., plus at least fairly fav?iKie weather. We would advise our farmers not he thrown off their guard by any ch thought as the passing of the ill weevil, but to prepare xo ngnt m to the limit and make cotton in ite of him. We have just completed arrangeents with the manufacturers to ;rnish us with special orde'rs for irty favors, in either stock designs, to suit any special occasions.

Norwood, latq of 17 Koss Court, of thi3 city, ,passed away suddenly at his home early Sunday ^ morning.

In 1887 he wag married to Amelia Churchill Walker of Charr leston, S. C. Mr. Norwood was th6 last surviving member of a large and prominent old southern family, and also one of the last of that type of Amor - * 1 Al. . ican gentlemen 01 wmcn xne uiui (South once furnished so many and| to which the whole nation poitsj with pride. He was a man whose j inlover'ablei chivalrous .nature gen - j erous heart] { and nobility 'of I manner won for him a large circle of friends, both in his boyhood home and in the western community whero he lived in later years. His devotion to his family, his sense of loyalty to his friends, endeavored! him to all who were for tunate to know him. He Ieave3 to mourn his loss, his wife and daughter, Sarah, whose many friends will regret to hear ofi their sorrow.
