GOW/ KOA DB ASSOCIATION. (iir.mii/Mt lon Was Formed lien- l,nsi Sui ur? I ny Afternoon. Tho visit of D. H. Winslow, gov ernment road building expert, to Wal halla last Saturday was appreciated by our citizens, and he was heard by a small gathering at thc Court House, .lt ls a matter of regret that moro from each section of tho county did not hoar him, ft r ho gav?, some very timely thought ; on the matter of per manent road building. * Mr. Winslow reached Walhalla Fri day evening from Plckons, where he held a mooting Friday morning, driv ing through the country In a Brush ?UKO, which was somewhat crippled by reason ol' several bad stretches ol' rond^MUween hore and the Court llomflHl Bickens. Mr. Moo?rnian, ol' the Caroni bia Record, was unable to come to Walhalla, thus throwing the main work tor the Walhalla meeting" on Mr. Winslow. Saturday morning a party of auto mobiles was organized l'or a ride with Mr. Winslow over the new road being completed to Westminster. There were six automobiles in the party, as follows: Ford touring car. driven by Dr. J. AV. Bell, with W. A. Strother, W. lt. Yerner and C. W. Pitchford as pas sengers. Maxwell runabout, driven by She riff W. M. Kay. carrying NV. Thos. Maxwell. Maxwell runabout, driven by Dr. B, F. Sloan, carrying A. P. Crisp. Ford touring car, driven by J. ll. Darby, carrying W. M. Drown, D. H. Winslow and J. A. Sleek. Ford touring car, driven by 13. L. Herndon, carrying Q, A. Norman, R. A. McLees and A. C. Merrick. De.Mott runabout, driven by ll. C. Cartea*, carrying .las. F. Singleton. TM) run to Westminster was made In good time, Mr. Winslow stopping several times to take photographs of several sections of bad roadway at points where work on the new road bad not been begun, and also to ex amine and criticise the work done ?JU the Walhalla-West inlnsl er model road. lt was particularly gratifying to the party to note that the criti cisms of Mr. Winslow were almost entirely favorable. lit.? estimated that the work done would cost be tween $500 and $(100 per mile, and , was<-surprised when told that.,as a matter ol' (act, thc work bad been done at a cost slightly in advance of $300 per mlle. After a short stop in Westminster Utile party returned to Walhalla, being joined by Lois Zimmerman, driving lils 30-h, p. Cadillac touring car, and carrying as passengers Dr. C. M. Wal ker, IO. 0. Maret! and .las. (!. Broa sseale. The return trip was made by way of Richland, giving abundant op portunity for comparison of good and had roads. Mm h of the road from Westminster lending to the Richland section is in good shape, with had SGCtio" a here ami there, hut from Richland o the public road from Walhalla to Seneca the nip was over road that might very properly he classed ns bad and worse hy sec t ions. Immediately on reaching Walhal la a meeting was called lo order in the Court House and Mr. Winslow gave about an hour's talk, con densing a few thoughts for practical benefit on the subjects ol' permanent road building, road maintenance, I he relation of good roads land val ues, ami the effects ol' good roads as related lo education. Ile was lis tenod io attentively and applauded as he ?dosed. Mr. Window was asked t ht? <iu?>s tion by .lohn H. Smith, one ol the rural mail carriers for the routes out of Seneca, what the average cost of building permanent roads in Oco ne*e ought to he. ..nd his reply was thal, judging hy the charactor of the work being done bot wooli Walhalla and Westminster, tho average c?>st would l.e about $:'no, provided it wif ?hine with the same ?legree of O^UQiny In expenditure. Some roads would cost more, and some less, bul he judged that $300cou ld he made an avoragc over the coun ty for similar work. Associai inn ( h'pml/.cd. Ry a vote of those present il was decbled to organiz?! a permanent as sociation for Oconeo, and the Oconee County Good Roads Association'was chosen as the name under'which the organization will work.

United Confederate Veterans Reim? ion at SpUl'tuiiblirg Fast Week. On Wednesday and Thursday of last week was I he reunion ol' the United Confederate Veterans for the stale ol' South Carolina at Spartan burg. According to several estimates about twenty-live hundred old sold iers ol' the Confederate anny were assembled in Sparlanburg during the pasi week, going there rrom every part ol' tho Slate. lt is stated thal many veterans from North Carolina cud Georgia seized the opportunity to be on hand and to exchange old v. tories With their South Carolina comrades. The annual intrude of the division is described as having been a most inspiring, all hough pathetic Sight. The veterans were all on loot, oven Hie crippled soldiers refus ing carriage's. All of them seemed proud again to be able lo march in line willi comrades of war-time days, and gallantly remained in the ranks until the line ol' march had boen covered. A number, of good speeches were addressed to tho assembled veterans during tho reunion. Thal ol' Gen. Carr, commanding the North Caro lina division. Confederate Veterans, is considered to have been a master piece and will long linger in the memories ol' those fortunate enough to have heard lt. Gen. Carr was introduced by Lieut, len. Walker, ol' tho Army of Northern Virginia. Nothing bettor than thc Confede rate Veteran's lid Mon ot the Spar tanburg Herald has ever been pub lished In South Carolina. The Her ald deserves the very highest lauda tion for a distinct achievement in historical journalism. Sketches ol' the signers of the Or dinance of Secession, all ol' them; sketches of Sparlanburg county Con federates, ofllcei's and privates; a sketch of ('ol. Robt. A. Thompson, the solo survivor ol' Hie Secession Convention; reviews of the work of the organization of veterans, sons and daughters, and a mass of other historic facts, well garnered ami ar ranged, making a volume worth pre serving in bound form. Immediately after Hie speech of Cen. Carr, Col. R. A. Thompson was brought upon the stage and Intro duced to the veterans. On mounting I he si ace he was received willi the greatest applause I hal has yet greet ed any man on the rostrum, and some one in thc rear of thc building shout ed three cheers for Col. Thompson, The building was made lo resound willi the cheers from the lungs of the <dd veterans and others who were |> reseal. li ls estimated that 2?,nan people lined the st reids Thursday afternoon to witness the parade which brought to a close Hie annual reunion of Hie Confederate Veterans, the Sons of Veterans and the Rod Shirt Men ol' 1 S 70. Gen. C. Irvine Walker, comman der ol' Cu? department ol' the Army of Northern Virginia, who reviewed the parade, slated that he never saw more men in Ilm? on fool, even at a general reunion, and said thal he de si red 'to congrat?lale Spni'tanburg in pulling off UK? greatest State ro il n ?on ever held in t lie Soul h.

Tho city i)1' Spartan-I burg furnished royal entertainment for the Veterans, Sons of Veterans, j Hod Shirt Mon and hundreds ol' vls I Hors from all parts of South Caro ( linn and many from distant States. 1 The praises ol' Spartanburg were ? spoken by all.
