w UNLESS AID IS RECEIVED ROAD WORK MUST STOP Anderson, Juno 1 I.- Whether or not the Anderson county highway commission will have available funds for the completion of approximately 100 miles of roads in this county, will Hp Hpfprmined Unlaw following the meeting of the state highway commission. when the matter of reapportionments of unabsorbed federal aid funds will be discussed. Unless the local highway commission receives ;>t least $50,000 of these funds, a suspension of operations in Anderson county until the iwi'2 session 01 me state legislature will be necessary, according: to announcement made yesterday. In the event that the funds arc unavailable, the commission will not suspend work immediately, but continue operating on the several projects now under construction provided for under the recent issue of bonds in the amount of $75,000. The good roads bill passed in the general assembly during their last session, specifically states that unless the commission receives federal aid which, added to the remaining $250 000 in bonds which have not yet been issued, will be sufficient to complete the projects of approximately 800 miles of roads in this county, the bond#issue of $2">0.000 will be invalid. The bill provides that approximately nnn r?r>v mil#? hp fvnonded unon ly P'JyWV j/vi a.. .w i . roads provided for in the bill. This necessitates the commission having at least $300,000 available for the completion of the projects. At least $50,000 is necessary to enable the commission to proceed with the issue of $250,000. Piain Murder Saluda Standard. Sunday a lad 16 years old, driving an automobile down the wrong side of a street in Greenville at a furious pace, struck a small boy and snuffed his life out in the twinkling of an eye, , and fled. The same day an unknown driver in the same city ran down an old man and broke his leg. In neither instance did the culprit stop to inquire about or to minister to the of his iuinrernaut. What restitution will these criminals ^iake? Very little, unless the courts speedily revise the measures with which they meet justice. The man who drives an automobile in a reckless manner or at a furious rate of speed, either in a city or a less populated district, is a criminal in the same ser.se as the coward who tyooL-c q ffun to "defend" himself. ? e> When they arc dealt with, the law should take cognizance of this fact: That they were potential killers before they committed overt wrong. The most powerful instrument that the lawr has for the preservation of life and order, is located within a small-vault Ji'.e chamber immediately behind the penitentiary walls in Columbia. It is the electric chair, the bulwark of our safety and institutions. Thrust one of the?e calloused ruffians into it and blase his unfeeling spirit out of its tenement and others of his kind will think before they "step on the gas.'' Which is of more worth to a community: the citizenship of roughnecks like these or freedom from the menace they perpetu ate? Judges should not impose fines for speeding. Speeders should be trained in the technique of swinging a pick. Jurors should be able to detect a murderer whether he pull a trigger or jam the accelerator. The automobile as useful, even necessary, as it is. when taxed to the limit ot us speea by an idiot (for no man with the brain of a ground mole would take such chances with his own life and that of others) is as dangerous as the most destructive anarchistic bomb. The price of hujpian life in South Carolina will rise to a price prohibitive of its reckless taking when and when only courts summon guts enough to effectually smite those who prey upon it. Let our readers bring this matter home to themselves, since the menace also overshadows Saluda county. If next week, or next month, or next year, you are called upon to pick up piece-meal the broken remains of a 1 3 ~ ~ " MnflorJ Pvnm tillip ITltn Ptf'T 1UVCU UXIC* UUIAU AAW** nity by a desperado behind a steering wheel, be calm?if you can. Don't lift up your voice in vituperation against the dri\er. Be man enough to place the blame where it belongs? upon your own shoulders. If vo ir life and that of your loved ones are not worth your concern and action in this matter, have the grace to makepayment unflinchingly, when it is demanded. Calhcun Highway The last issue of the Clinton Chronicle carries a reort of the organization at that place of the organization at that place of the urbanization of a hig-hway association at the meeting: of the Good Roads convention.

Strong I( i sncofhos of endorsement were madejj J by leading citizens from the two I states and a spirit of enthusiasm and detei mination was in evidence that bespeaks success for the undertaking. The proposed highway will run from Sheraw to Athens, making a parallel I route with the Seaboard road and tra; versing a territory of twelve counties j in the two states. The project started I a month ago, is now well under way as the reports showed from all alone:! the line, more than 1800 members in the association having already been enlisted with the work just commencJ ed. The convention was called to order I by the temporary chairman, J. F. JaJ cobs, Sr., of this city . After giving la brief outline of what had already, | been accomplished, the matter of a ! permanent organization was entered into and the delegations to the convention were seated. The by-laws and constitution as drawn by Mr. R. E. Hanna of Che raw were unanimously adopted. Items From Neighbor Clinton Chronicle, 10th.
