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

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. There are no speet

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. ? <

'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.
