I "The highways of Union county . arc already being done very much e damage by speeders," says Highway >v Engineer \V. B. Deneen. ".-Vs speeding is injuring Union ). county roads,-and is a menace to pub>. lie ^safety, persons found speeding ; will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," says Sheriff J. Hay TT'^v,f p r&iiL* s ' Both of these Union county offis cials know what they are talking about, and mean business, as they do fcot want to see funds invested in : Union county improvements thrown q away, so those tempted to exceed , the speed limits had better take s warning and save themselves from r arrest and being heavily fined. Chief Highway Engineer Deneen e .has furnished Progress with the following section regarding the speed e limit of this state, which is 25 miles e an hour, and violation of which law I means a fine of not less than $10 nor j more thai> $100, or 30 days impris. onment for each and every offense. 1 eV,o11 nn ? i ~ OtJCUUII OUl. \J ycioui 1 aim., v-x. erate a motor vehicle on a public 1 highway at a rate of speetf greater f than is reasonable and proper at the s time and- p!5fce, having regard to the a traffic and use of the highway, and ' its condition, or so as to endanger - the life, limb or property of any per1 son, or in any event at a greater rate e than 25 miles an hour." ; Mr. Deneen says in regard to this g law that it does not only mean that 2 one has to drive 2> miles an hour in g' order to violate the section, * for - reckless driving no matter ?What the rate is covered bv it. \/U XMWV AW w ^ -I He also referred in speaking to a - Progress man to the law that rej quires people driving a car to stop if - they are approaching any one drivr ing an animal and the person drivjng (the animal shoulcj. signal them to - come to a halt. The act passed at r the last session of the legislature t makes it a spc/M offense for any one 2 who strikes o^ injures any one, fails s tc^ stop immediately and render the i needed assistance, and a heavy penj alty is provided for neglecting to 3 stop. Mr. Deneen says that already sev eral of the recently improved highj" ways are beginning to show bad signs of wear, all of which is caused by motor vehicles going at too high rate of speed, and that in many cases it * will be almost Xnpossible to get more top soil to rebuild certain roa<?S so he hopes that motor drivers will nbt , | speed and needlessly destroy good !' highways. 1 i Mr. ^eneen and party have been ' surveying the Appalachian highway from Gibbes to West Springs and to the Spartanburg county line, and it is hoped that bids can be advertised I fr>r and contracts let before August ' 15. ' *'! In order to push work on the lower ! sett;on of the Appalachian highway, ?TT^irtn Flliott & Sons, who SUU 111 ui uiuvK) ? ? r 1 have the contract, will probably send two, more outfits there this week. Referring to the overhead bridges j which the railroad commission has i ordered the Southern railway to j build at Free's Crossing, north of " Jonesville, and McBride's crossing, " south of Union, Mr. Deneen says that work on the former must begin by tomorrow, July 15, and on the lat' ter by August 1. r i It "is probable that the state highjway commission wil] advertise for ~ bids and let the contract for the road ^ from Kelly to Unipn and probably to the Cross Keys road within a few "; weeks. The road being srraded put? . tin? on top soil from th^TJnion town^ ship line to McBride's crossing will ; be completed this week. ?
