The movement begun at Newberry Friday to put the entire roadway from Greenville to Columbia in first class condition by means of local subscrip tions and individual aid should have far-reaching results. The hope of thoze who are most inerested in this road is that when it is built and put in fine condition that it will serve as a model for other road builders and an inspiration to the other people of the counties through which it runs to build more just like it. The idea should and no doubt will appea: ,strongly to those people along the road, for in no other way can they hope to build such a road as is con iemplated. The county chaingangs are enabled ic do just so much work over the county and no more. The supervisor is able to do so much work on this road will result in the road 'being built people of the county demands that he pay as much attention to the road to Waterloo as he does the road to Clinton. This f:ct is undersiood. As the county can not build such 4 road as is needed between these cities, this body of men which met at New berry desires to inaugurate a move ment that by the people themselves. They want to build a real road from Greenville to Newberry and on to Columbia that will Drove of inestima ble benefit to those living along it and to any who travel over it. To build it will require the united cooperation of all the people along the route. A number of prominent farmers were at the meeting Friday, and each of them gave the movement their hearty en-1 dorsemnt and promised that they would do all in their power to aid in the work. They have seen the need of the road and all that is wanted now{ is that the rest of the people along the road see it. If they can be brought to realize the great advan tage of such a work and at the same time to realize that the county chain gang will not be able to do it, we be -lieve that half the battle will be won. Some are bound to say that this is just some scheme to get a fine road for the automobilists to travel on. There is nothing further from the truth. Although the automobilistst will be welcomed to travel it all they please and though doubtless every man who attended the meeting would be glad to see a long string of them pass by his door every day, still tL sentiment of the meeting was not that an automobile highway was wanted, but that a highway was want ed on which the farmers might bring their produce to market and a high way which would serve as a model for others. We feel especially inclined to stress the point that. this is no auto mobile highway but a model road for all kinds of vehicles, automobiles in cluded. We want to see a road on which four horses can pull what two pulled before. - A committee has been appointed to devise ways and means of getting the movement under way. Dr. H. K. Aik en and Prof. C. E. Spencer are on this committee, besides a number of oth ers. They will either call on the farmers of this section of the I-oaC at an early time or they will hay. some one else call. Trhey should re ceive every encouragement. Let ev ery man along the road and along the roads that run into this one j'e the band of workers and lets have a road from one end of Laurens county to the other that will be a model to other sections of the highway just as the whole road is to be a model for other roads. We would be glad to hear from any person along this road in regard to the plan. We would urge all those who are interested to write a few lines in order that your neghbors may be infused with the idea. CONTRACT IS LET.
