Progress on the New Bond Issue Highways In Laurens County i...—m . 9 According to the engineer’s report, made to the Laurens County Highway i Commission, showing expenditures and progress up to June 1, 1924, the following mileage has? been complet ed: Gray Coprt to Woodruff bridge, 7 miles; Cold Point to Augusta road, 7 miles; Waterloo to Calhoun High way, 5 1-2 miles; Clinton towards Newberry line on Calhoun Highway, 5 1-2 miles finished, one mile graded; Clinton towards Mountville on Cal houn Highway, one mile finished, one mile graded; Ora to Watts Mill, 6.2 miles finished. Total finished road, 32.2 miles, graded road, two miles, equivalent to the completion of about 33 1-2 miles or road. However, in that mileage, not more than fifty per cent of the bridge work is complet ed. Total mileage proopsed to be built under the $250,000 bond issue is 59.7 miles, as follows: Grtiy Court to Woodruff bridge, 7 miles; Cold Point to Augusta road, 8 miles; Waterloo to Calhoun Highway, 5 1-2 miles; Clinton to Newberry line on Calhoun Highway, 15 miles; Clinton to Mount ville on Calhoun Highway, 7 1-2 miles; Mountville to Puckett’s Ferry bridge on Saluda river, 10 1-2 miles; Orm to Watts Mill, 6.2 miles. Total mileage, 59.7. From this it will be observed that more than one-half of the work has been completed. Up to date the vouchers drawn against the $250,000 fund amount to $102^)96.74. This includes voucher for $7,600.00 on the Watts Mill-Laurens road, on which, however, there is a claim for an addi tional $4,000 or thereabouts, of which there is some question of the liability of the commission yet to be determin ed, and possibly calling for legisla tive enactment to clear the matter. Out of the above fund disbursed $17,224.86 represents equipment on hand, of which feed and supplies in warehouse amount to $4,198.67, and equipment unused but in warehouse, $3,498.51. The remainder of the equipment is distributed in four gangs G. O. P.

This is most creditable to Mr. Patton, the commission’s engi neer. ^ As the returns from the bonds, to gether with the accrued interest, and interest from banks of Laurens coun ty on deposits, wiH amount to about $255,000, there remains in the treas ury of the commission about $153,000 with which to build 27 1-2 miles of. road provided for in the bond issue, and tb build the bridges thereon. However, there are a number of very expensive bridges to be taken care of, and while apparently the commis sion’s work hag been done weii under FOR CLERK OF COURT I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of Clerk of Court of Laurens County, subject to the result of the Democratic primary.

McSWAIN. the mileage rate provided in the bond issue, it is quite impossible that all of the funds, and possibly additional funds may be necessary for the com pletion of double track, re-inforced concrete bridges on all streams on the Calhoun Highway, but of the total sum of vouchers drawn, $1,029.82 has been paid to the State Highway Com mission for engineering on a federal aid project from Mountville to Puck ett's Ferry. This is returnable by the state, and is chargeable imme diately against an apporpriation of fund of $30,000 made by the Laurens County Highway Commission, all of which will be returnable to the com mission eventually, under the reim bursement provision of the “Pay-As- You-Go” highway bill passed by the Not Regarded Aa Permanent Docu ment, Says Chairman Cor dell Hull. New York, June 13.—Cordell Hull of Tennessee, chairman of the Demo cratic national convention, today is sued this formal statement concerning the Republican convention just con cluded at Cleveland: “The Republican convention seemed mighty lucky in being able finally, af ter much dodging, ducking and de clining by those to whom offers were made, to find any person who would accept the vice presidential nomina tion. No party in the past has ever reached an ebb that a nomination for a vice president has been declined after it was already made, with one exception, and that was under a mis apprehension. This unique convention experience was a further reflection of the ’leadership’ of President Coolidge, following his ten months’ record of ’masterly leadership’ of his party and his congress at Washington. “This campaign will demonstrate whether a political party can live or ought to live after having dragged the government through a bottomless cesspool of corruption and left in its trail conditions of debauchery and scandal on a scale unrivaled in the na tion’s history, as during the past three years of the Harding-Coolidge administration. “It is hypocritcal folly to talk about giving the people any sort of decent government during the next four years unless wholesale corrupt ions in many government depart ments is first removed and public morals and official honesty are re stored at Washington. Instead, of frankly confessing and abjectly apolo gizing for the Republican^ record of graft, bribery and rapine during the present administration, the Cleveland convention cheered loudest when the patriotic senators who exposed Re publican corruption were denounced by Mondell and others as character assassins and scandal mongers. “From the gentle, not to say sym pathetic manner in which the Repub lican convention dealt with them and their infamous conduct, ah uniform ed person might easily conclude that Newberry, Fall, Daugherty, Forbes, and their associates, were persons of the highest probity and that Senator Walsh and others who exposed whole sale crimes were the real criminals. The old guard, special interest ele ment of the Republican party can not purge or reform itself. It today con stitutes the chief menace to honest and representative government and should be destroyed. “The Republican platform, like that of 1920, facing in many directions and notable for its hypocrisy and false pretense, is only intended to last until November election. After all the noise, paid propaganda and horseplay of the last six months about the Mel lon tax proposals, the Republican platform dared not even mention Mel lon's Tmme. much leiS htS tax pro posals. This repudiation yas in ef fect an amendment of the Democratic tax reduction measure. “The nation, sick and disgusted at the Republican incompetence, failure and corruption during the past three years, will now welcome a typical Democratic demonstration, of honesty, efficiency and constructive achieve ment.” ENGLISH IN POLISH SCHOOLS Warsaw.—The Polish ministry of education has decided to introduce the teaching of English into most of the schools.

I hereby announce my as 4 didate far County Commissioner, joct to \ the result of the Democratic about ample supply of funds for the completion of the Calhoun Highway in a first class style, and with per manent bridges of the very highest type. If the money invested in equipment on hand is deducted from the total expenditure, the cost of construction thus far has been about $86,000.00, for about 88 1-2 miles, or considerably less than $3,000.00 per mile. Much of the work is heavy, involving deep fills, and most of the work has been done during a very wet winter and spring, with much interruption, and consequent handicap in cost. Con sidering these conditions Engineer Patton has accomplished a most won derful performance In the way of economical and efficient road con struction for Laurens county. The commission’s judgement that it wquld pay better to employ Mr. Pat- top at a higher salary rattyr thin select an imsxperienead engtotyt at a lower one, *rtiw I wish to thank my friends for their interest and support in the recent municipal primary by which I am re-elected a member of' city council. C. C. BAILEY. A new 16 story office building in Stockholm, Sweden, marks a new de parture in European construction. Pstton’s work, though highly effi cient, has proven the biggest econo my possible in the Highway commis sion’s work. On an engineering ex pense of $2,916.56, or less than 3 per cent of expenditure, he has organised and equipped and operated gangs, and constructed over half the mileage which he had to construct, doing all the engineering therefor. The engi neering cost of merely engineering work on the federal aid project from Puckett's Ferry to Mountville, 10 1-2 miles, without any construction or or ganisation expenses, has amounted to one-third as much, with no road built aa yat-^Theae comparisons indicate the wonderful efficiency and economy of Mr. Patton’s methods. *Signod: J.
