PACE EIGHT THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, 8. C. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 192< PROGRESS ON CALHOUN HIGHWAY By J. F. JACOBS, Vice-President Savannah-Broad-Catawba Division Calhoun Highway Association A great many citizens of Clintoti who have been interested in promoting the Calhoun Highway will be glad to have the following facts in regard to its progress in South Carolina. In Abbeville county the road is com pleted across the county except the bridge approach at the Savannah river. The building of the Savannah river bridge is contemplated by the State Highway Department in con junction with the State Highway De partment of Georgia. In Greenwood county the wprk is actively progressing between Gren- wood and Puckett’s Ferry on the Sa luda river, the remainder of the road having already been finished from Abbeville to Greenwood. It is prob able that the road will be complete to Puckett’s Ferry from Greenwood early in 1025. The foundations for the Puckett’s Ferry bridge over the Saluda river have been completed on the Greenwood side, and when com- 13 MILLIONS IS COTTON ESTIMATE Latest Forecast Shows Gains. South Carolina Yield Placed At 720,000 Bales. Washington, Nov. 21.—The cotton crop was estimated today at 12,992,- 000 equivalent 500 pound bales by the Department of Agriculture. A crop of 12,816,000^ bales was forecast a fortnight ago. Last year’s crop was 10,139,671 bales. Of the total crop 11,147,524 run ning bales, counting round as half bales, has been ginned prior to No vember 14, compared with 8,369,498 for 1923, and 8,869,978 for 1922 to that date, the census bureau announc ed. The estimate of the crop was made on the basis of facts available to the crop reporting board as of the date of November 14, covering the condi- pleted on the Laurens side the bridge j tion, probable yield, percentage of will be half finished. It is probable acreage abandoned, percentage of the that it will be open by June 1st next. Between Puckett’s Ferry and crop picked and ginned and upon the Old | actual ginnings to November 14.

The arch has been poured on the Beaver- dam bridge and the side walls are in course of erection. The foundations are in on the Ginger creek bridge near the Beaverdam bridge. Work on those bridges will probably be com pleted in another month, and the bridges be put in commission within about twenty days thereafter. At Lit tle river a large bridge gang is work ing and is putting in foundations. That bridge will consist of two forty- L ot arches and two fifty-foq£, arches, making quite a considerable bridge. Material is being eoljected at North creek, and on the completion of the Beaverdam and Ginger creek bridges that gang will move to North creek. It is probable that all the bridges be tween Mountville and Clinton will be completed by February 1st, or at least by .March 1st, provided there is no interference from high water. East from Clinton the Sand creek bridge, which was completed about two weeks ago, will be put in com mission shortly, so that by the first ct December the road, including all bridges, will be completed from Clin ton to Dupcan’s creek.

The revised total of cotton ginned this season to November 1 was an- i nounced as 9,719,332 bajes. The crop reporting board in a state ment commenting on the cotton crop report said: ’ “Weather favorable to cotton pick ing during most of the time since November 1 has prevailed throughout the cotton belt and reports indicate that the picked cotton has gone promptly to the gin.

It is probable that the Calhoun Highway will by next June 1st be epen from Atlanta to, Washington, JAMES W. CALDWELL ‘The Magazine Man” object whs to trap Jesus—to induce Him to take such a stand/as would weaken Dis influence as a teacher. He expected Jesus to set foieh some, dew ceremonies which would conflict «ith or disparage the law. 2. Jesus’ Question (v. 26). Though '"sns knew the motive of the lawyer did not evade' Ids question. He I '» sent him to rhe law. the field which was familiar to him. He thus was rohhod of his own weapon. 3. The Lawyer’s Reply (v 27). He made an intelligent answer declaring lhat file eniiie content of ihe law was • mbrnqgd In love to Cod and man. I hi* expresses the whole of human duty. uAw 4. JWhs’ iteply <r. 28). This qrnlglitforward answer went to the heart of the lawyer. Perfect love to Cod anil man is truly the way of life. Xo man lias.yet had or can have such love. His sinful condition precludes i*s possibility. Man’s failure to meas ure up to this requirement is ids eon- leinnaticii. The lawyer keenly felt this thrust. Fie was defeated on Ids >wn grounds and convicted of guilt. II. Who Is My Neighbor? (vv. 29-87). 1. The Lawyer's Question (v. 29). i’his question reveals the insincerity >f rite lawyer. Christ's answer had reached his conscience, and now he seeks to escape the difficulty by ask ing a captious question. Lawyer like he sought to get off by raising a |Ucsi ion ~«i.s to the meaning of words. 2. Jesus’ Answer (vv. 30-37). This more than answered the lawyer’s question. In the parable of the Good 8a! mritan He makes clear who is a neighbor, and also what it means to be a • neighbor, or what loving s neighbor means. Christ's answer had n double meaning. • He not only made (dear who is my neighbor, hut made it clear that the lawyer was not-play ing ihe neighbor. He Hips was oon- •Ictcd of not having been a neighbor (1) Who is my neighbor? This des titute and wounded man left on the highway by the robbers is the man who needs a neighbor. My neighbor, therefore. Is the one who needs my help, whet I ter he I Ives doxt door or on the other side of the world. Those who have the Spirit of Christ can see their neighbors on every hand. ” (2) What being n neighbor means. Our supreme concern should not he “Who is my neighbor?” hut “Whose neighbor hm I?’’ To ho a neighbor is, (a) to he on the lookout for those In need of our help (v. 33). (h) To have, compassion on the needy (v. 33). Chrisi’s compassion was aroused as He came into contact with those who were sufTerlnc and in need. All those who have His nature will he ikewise moved. (<T To give to those in hi ed (v. 34). Many art* willing to give motvy to help the poor and needy, but are unwilling to personal ly minister to them. Many times the n« rs mal touch is mo^e important than rhe material aid. We should give our selves as well ;1s our money, (d) To 'dirl up wounds (v. 34). (d) To set the helpless ones on our beasts while we walk (v. Cl). This is proof that love is genuine, t’hristians will deny themselves in order to have something to give to those who have need. This kind of sympathy is greatly needed today, (f) To bring to the inn and take care of the unfortunate (v. 84) Genuine love docs not leave its service incomplete. Much (’hrlstlnn service ip spasmodic, helps and then leaves a man to take riire of himself, (g) To give money (v. 35). It eosts a good deal to lie a neighbor. Love is the ait.st expensive thing in the world. It cost God His only Son. It cost (Tirist His life. May we go and do likewise!
