H. L. Johnson, magistrate for
Bethel township, has been appointed
State constable to help
in the suppression of the liquor
traffic in this section. He has
J LL ~ re -
icaigiieu ma uuiee aa niugisiraie,
the resignation to take effect
uoon the appointment and qualification
of his successor.
Magistrate R. L. A. Smith,
accompanied by his constable,
Floyd Stevenson, and Policeman
Richard Lanier of Hickory Grove,
captured a whiskey making outfit,
together with about 300 gallons
of beer on a creek about
three and a half miles northwest
of Hickory Grove, last
Sunday. There were no arrebts.
The resignation of H. L. Johnson
as magistrate for Bethel
township, brings up the question
of filling the vacancy. Among
the names now under consideration
are those of J. D. Boyd and
J. M. Ford. Under the rules of
the party, the vacancy is to be
filled by primary election; but as
a matter of practice such vacancies
are very often filled by appointment
of the governor, upon
recommendation of the logisla
tive delegation.

cult of the election laet week upon.
the question of issuing bonds
end increasing the tax levy is
this school district. The* vote
was 86 to 2 in favor of both issues,
thus the issue of $15,000 in
bonds for building purposes is
assured and the tax levy is increased
from 4 to 10 inills.
The addition contemplated will
comprise eight recitation rooms
and a gymnasium. It will be
three stories in height and the
present plans which are being
worked out by an architect contemplates
the location just in
front of the present building.
Included in the rooms will be one
for cooking and sewing and one
for manual training. It is expected
that the addition will be
ready for occupancy bv the beginning
of the fall term.
Much credit for the promised
success of this undertaking is
due to W. H. Ward, who has had
charge of the schools since last
summer, and to J. Barron Mills,
chairman of the board, who has
effectively seconded the plans oi
Mr. Ward. The growth of the
school during the past few years
has been little short of phenomenal
and the enrollment and attendance
during the past term
has increased over the previous
year, despite the handicap of the
war and the epidemic of influenza.
Including Professor Ward,
eleven teachers are now employed
and the plans for next year include
four additional teachers.
The teachers have been hindered
on account of lack of adequate
recitation rooms and it has been
necessary to dismantle and use
cloak rooms and a part of the
auditorium to supply the space
required for tne increased enrollment.
It is expected that
the addiiionel building wi.l supply
all the space needed undei
the compulsory attendance law
soon to become effective.

How to Secure Road Funds.
The State Highway commission
is frequently asked by county
officials and interested citizens
what steps are necessary in ordej
to secure the large sums of Federal
money which are now available
for building roads in South
Carolina.
It is necessary, first of all, foi
the county road officials to pass
a resolution asking the State
Highway commission for Federal
aid for building a certain section
or sections of the State highway
system in their counties. These
resolutions must provide for the
money to defray half of the cost.
This money to cover the Federal
funds can come from the count>
treasury or from municipalities,
or from private individuals. One
instance is on record in which s
private corporation in this State
agreed to provide part of the
funds necessary to build an important
bridge.

commission by resolution thai

- an engineering party to survey
the road to be built. After these
i surveys are made the engineers
i prepare a careful estimate of the

gether with a complete description
of the work, including b ue
prints and plans. . All of this
1 data is forwarded to the secretary
of the U. S. department of
agriculture, D F. Houston, who
is a South Carolinian. The seci
retary- of agriculture- approves

to ask for bids from conI

1 After securing a satisfactory
bid the contract is let and the
Federal government pays half

The same process is followed
in securing Federal money for
building bridges.
