Laurens, June 6.—The |90JK)0 re inforced concrete Calhoun highway Saluda river bridge will not be located at Puckett’s Ferry site as had been agreed upon by the commission and the State highway authorities. As the matter no wstands, according to agreement reached at a meeting here Tuesday afternoon, the bridge will be constructed at a site more than a mile up the river, to connect routes that have been recently surveyed on both sides of Saluda river. The new survey is now known as the upper route and in Greenwood county it will run by Coronaca. Request for the change of plans for the bridge were made by C. H. Moore- field. State highway engineer; and Messrs. Towles and Sloan, Federal and district engineers, respectively, who met with the local highway com mission. It was. explained that. In making the change of routes, at least $80,000 would be saved in building the rend- in Gvecnwood oeunty and that the distance between Laurens and Greenwood by the new route would be lessened two miles and only one-tenth of a mile would be added to the distance between Cross Hill and Greenwood. On motion of J. F. Jacobs the request was granted. Messrs. Hogan Goggans and J. 0. Denny, of Cross Hill, stoutly opposed the change in the plana, contending that the new route would leave many citixens off the highway between Cross Hill and the river. Mr. C. D. Nance, also of Cross Hill, insisted that the people of his section wanted action at once In the matter of con structing the road; that a consolida tion of schools in that section involv ed in the road project was contem plated and consumation of the enter prise was contingent on the reason ably immediate construction of the highway. The lower route, he ex plained, was preferable. Mr. Moore- field intimated that delay would fol low if the request was held up; that appeal would be made to the state highway 'board if the local commis sion did not accede. tinder the “Pay-As-You-Go” plan of state road building, Mr. Moore- field explained that Laurens would get s refund on the Calhoun high way project, provided the commission would rescind its action in postpon ing the construction of the Cross Hill- Mountville link to the river. This was done, on motion, and Mr. Moore- fiehk stated that bids for Rte work oa this link would be asked for at once. Application for refund on the Renno road will be made aleo, and the chief engineer statel that, if the road met with approval, the State aid would be given. The commission voted to complete the Cold Point-Mount Olive project to the AUguAa road, after hearing a petition from the citizens of the «f $40.00.

Atlanta, June 7.—“Acrid personali ties” should be excluded from discus sions of the proposed plan of unifica tion of the Methodist Episcopal church, North and South, as “unseem ly, Especially so for a bishop of the church,” declared Warren A. Cand ler of Atlanta, Methodist bishop, in a statement issued here tonight. “Certainly the matter now before the church is far too serious for the indulgence of personal flings,” the bishop said. “But there are some things I must say in justice to my self which are also germane to the discussion of the important issue. “It is possible that I may he out of harmony with my church with refer ence to the proposed plan of unifics- tion,” Bishop Candler declared, “but I do not believe it. " >' “My church, through its general conferences, has expressed itself as favoring the general principles of uni fication; but it has had no chance to express Itself on the defective and (UttgerOtis plan now nnder disetfesion. “I have made both arguments and appeals that it be given a fair chance to consider deliberately ’this plan* and then express itself on it, but my ar guments and appeals have not avail ed.” The bishop said it Is generally known that he believes the called ses sion of the Southern Methodist bish ops for July 2 to consider unification Is unwise for the church, unjust the annual conferences and without authority of law. Bishop Candler said he is receiving every day letters fraiji; infltfent ministers and members of the church which declare he is “in harmony with the sentiment” of his church. “Preachers and laymen, representa tive men in Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklsho- ma, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky West Virginia and Maryland have written me expressing the strongest opposition to the plan,” the statement said. “They may all be mistaken about the mind of the church con cerning the matter and I may be out of harmony with my church but I do not believe it.” The statement sets out that Bishop Candler opposes hasty calling of a general conference but says he does not fear to find out the reel thought and wishes of the people after Ihey have been given an opportunity to consider the matter. The bishop cited • letter from prominent business man in Georgia, who says: “May the goad. Lord save us from being gobbled up.” Bishop Candler’s statement summed up his objections to the proposed uni fication plans as follows: “The plan gives the Methodist Episcopal church. North, so much ad vantage over our church that most naturally they leaped to seize the prize which they thought they saw in sight, apparently forgetting all other SCHOLARSHIP AND ENTRANCE - .EXAMINATIONS The examination for the award of vacant scholarships in the University of South Carolina and for admission of new students will be held at the County Court House, Friday, July 11, 1924, at 9 o’clock A.

McLaurin, son of former United States Senator John L. McLaurin, of South Caro lina, wa* extended executive clem ency today by Governor McLeod and was released from the prison. McLaurin pleaded guilty in 1921 to a number of charges, including breach of trust with fraudulent in tent, in connection with the funds of the Mutual Savings Bank, of Bennettsville, and the Bennettsville Warehouse Company, which insti tutions he served as prasident. : By action of the State’s Chief Executive today the sentence was commuted to five years’ imprison ment, and McLaurin was paroled for the unserved portion, which will expire on March 16, 1926. Clemency was recommmended by the State pardon board, and also by the trial judge and the solicitor who prosecuted the case. Another factor taken into consideration, ac cording to a statement at the Gov ernor’s office, was the ill health of Me Laurins mother. “This matter has given me grave concern for quite a time,” Governor McLeod said in announcing his de cision to extend clemency, and I am satisfied that McLaurin has ex piated his crime as far as such is humanly possible. “He has made an excelllent pris oner and has been unusually kind and thoughtful of other prisoners. epumps prove popularity of “Standard”Gasoline considerations. "The ptah dbes not eliminate any overlapping work nor any. friction be tween the two churches.” The statement cites sections of the proposal to substantitte these conclu sions. NOTICE TO EXECUTORS.

' “He and his family have done everything within their power to repair the wrong, and McLaurin, I am convinced, is thoroughly repent- ant.” The pardon board’s recommenda tion favored commutation of the qiimsterinf to their wants and help- aentence after Mc^qurin had serv ed five years.
