( 1 < Maintain the Roads. c The following from The Char- ? lotte Observer brings out the point that all highways should be maintained: What is considered an unanswerable argument for a State-wide system of good roads was advanced here yesterday by W. DeWoody Dickinson and R. 0. Sahaefer, leading business men of Little Rock, Ark., who on telling of Arkansas' $60,000,000 good roads program said that the roads have enhanced the value of farm lands in the State from 50 to 300 per cent. Mr. Dickinson, a civil engineer, and Mr. Schaefer, publisher of The Southern Con- f struction News and secretary j of the Arkansas Good Roads and Dfainaflra aucaniah'nn uraro haru jl/i uiuu^v/ auuwviuviuii| tf vi v iivi v to look over the hydro-electric ' development in the citv, and 1 spent the day conferring with '< Business Manager Allison, of 1 the Chamber of Commerce, and ? officials of the Southern Power < company. ( "Our entire State is alive to 1 road building, and is giving employment to an enormous army ] of workers," said Mr. Dickinson, whose firm is in charge of 1 the engineering of 400 miles of improved Arkansas roads, and * s who is enthusiastic over roadbuilding. "Our plan contemplates the immediate building of 6,00() miles of roads, some of < which are now under construction, and the total outlay will i aggregate approximately $60,- < 000,000. The hard surface roads < will be constructed at an average I cost of $20,000 per mile." i The last session of the Arkansas legislature turned itself into i a virtual good roads convention, I according to Mr. Schaefer, who ? said road improvements cover- i ing every section of the State 1 were authorized. < "One mistake we think we i have corrected in our State," added Mr. Schaefer, "is, I 1 think, a common error through- ] out the country?that of pro- i viding for the construction of ; roads and neglecting entirely i their maintenance. We have < several roads built at great ex- ' pense which will be worn out 1 before the bonds are paid off. < This is a fundamental mistake < and does much to discourage < highway improvements." i Union Church Over the Top. < Uniorv church, four miles north j of York, has the distinction ot being the first "in York county and one of the very firtst in the 1 State to raise its apportionment in the $75,000,000 campaign recently inaugurated by the' Bap- ( tist denomination. Union's ap- 1 portionment was $8,300 and Rev. ! O. L. Jones, pastor of the church and York county organizer foi the $75,000,000 campaign, an- | nounced at the annual meeting j of the York Baptist association held at Union church Thursday c tliat the progressive country church had suoscribed its quota. York county's share of the < $5,500,000 to be raised by the j Baptists of South Carolina is $107,917 and the eighteen Bap- I tist churches in the county with a total membership of about 2200, are confident that they will be able to go over the top. Jack Pick ford Here Today. The Majestic Theatre today presents handsome Jack Pickford in one of his greatest successes, "What Money Can't Buy." The story is that of a rich young man who thought that his gold was a magic wand with which to conquer the world's wares. But there was just one thing wnich he was unable to buy, and this was a girl. She taught him his place; I made him right-about-face and come across with something besides his gold to "buy" her. / But he^ discovered a way to make her love him, anyway, and as a ? whoie the story is one that all fl will enjoy.-A4t_ J V spmn ' .

Tkn Mill u/.? iiv i vu iaiii nay. A representative of The En ^uirer made a trip from York ville ro Fort Mill last Tuesda afternoon in a Ford as the gues :>f Capt. Q. E. Smith, of the firr :>f Klutz & Smith, engineers o the street paving work now go ing on in Yorkville. Captain Smith had a little bus iness at Fort Mill and Rock Hill but the newspaper man had m special object in view except tlv pleasure of the trip, what wouh be seen on the way, and th shance of meeting friends am acquaintances. For one thing, it was note* that the Yorkville and Rock Hil highway, (the upper road) ha* recently been subjected to a goo* job of scraping that has ver; much improved its condition, a compared with what it was. Th work, however, was done in very dry weather, and was no ^uite as effetive as if it had bee, done after a shower. A fev iraggings, following rains wouii improve it more. The chaingang is still pegginj along at the concrete highwa; between W in thro p college am the river. It is now withii about half a mile of Winthroi college and pushing along slow y. Something over two mile (at a guess) has been concreted jonnecting with the two mile >r more of excellent macadari m to the bridge. It is astonish ng how frisky the Fords ge when they strike this concret 'oad. They turn theniselve oose and fairly skim along al most as if winged. They sa: >ther cars act very much th< ?ame way.

I limit wa rntngs in sight and it is doubtful as to whether such warnings would- have much ef| feet anyway. There are few drivers doming along here who I qan resist the temptation to "turn on the gas and let hOr , , KO.M Fronrthe river on th^ road is sand and clay. It was built 1 especially for the purpose of i 1 connecting Fort Mill with the . 1 bridge. Originally it was in t good condition; but it has been neglected, and it is now full of ' holes and bumps. Fords are more careful here than while i t going over the concrete and ' macadam on the east side of the * river. 5 The Fort Mill people were giving consideration to the pavf ing idea a few weeks ago. They , adopted the act that authorizes the assessment of abutting " P property for street improve- r 'r ments; but after that they seem ? to have taken cold feet. The , Enquirer man was informed that J f petitions asking the town coun- ] [ cil to call a bond election were < placed in the drug stores for 1 signatures; but only a few freeholders, less than a dozen, signed and the bottom dropped out, at least for the present, i ' The tronble was that there was j ? nobody to push the matter. ? < Yorkville Enquirer. 1 i t ^, ' licftll Title Cnnartiioo. mou ft mo, uuptl I1BU1 UVyU. 'r The Chester News, writing re) cently of the roads between that : t city and Charlotte, has this to ( , say about the road between Rock Hill and Fort Mill, and we hope that it will be read by Super visor Boyd: ( 1 The Cherry road, a few miles 5 north of Rock Hill, is one of the r best pikes in this section of the country, same being of concrete. This leads to the Cherry bridge 1 across Catawba river, between R Rock Hill and Fort Mill. After you cress the Cherry bridge you ' get on an old sand-clay road. When this road, from Cherry's bridge to Fort Mill, was con" structed a few years ago it was n at. excellent road but the York county authorities have given it absolutely no attention and it has gone all to pieces. The Fort - Mill people say that they have - hoen alter the authorities time V and again but have been unable t to get anything done. Fort Mill o township is the only township in f York county on the north side of - Catawba river and the people in that section state that they n$ver - receive any consideration at the . hands of York county officials. 0 They once talked of annexing e Fort Mill township to Mecklen1 bury county, North Carolina, e and we believe, insofar as the 1 people of Fort Mill are concerned, it would be a most exeel^ lent thing for them to do.
