C., THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1925- NUMBER 20 I M’GOWAN GETS HIGHWAY JOB Former Paymaster General bfr Navy, and Native of This County, Chosen Chief Highway Cimjnisaioner, £rf 'Ji I Columbia, May 13—Samuel McGowan of Laurens, rear admiral, retired, for mer paymaster general of the United States navy, serving in that capacity during the World war, was chosen yesterday to direct the highway prob lems of South Carolina. Adipiral Mc Gowan anifounced that he would ac cept the post and probably take of fice within the next few days. Admiral McGoWW’s selection by the state highway commission to the posi tion of chief- highway commissioner came yesterday morning at the regu lar monthly meeting of the commis sion, following a struggle which had extended for more than a month and brought dissensibp and 4 division with- ifl the rank^ pf the; highway board A v Outwardly at least that ''- breach seemed last niffht to be healed. Di vided on many things, the commis sion—on motion of C. E. Johes of Batesburg— made the selection of the former director of naval expenditures unanimous. i ' \^ith even tenor but with unerring course the, commission went into the election. There were a few prelimi naries, but overnight the sentiment had been so slow 'in "crystaliz- ing had formed—and Admiral McGow an’s election was assured, M other candidates were nomi- J. F. Jacobs of Clinton, vice chai$|pan of the Laurens county high way, cohimission; and C. J. Hill, chair man-j|f the Aiken county board of commissioners. - These nominations, however, were little more than a ges ture—Mr. Hill receiving four votes from members of th^ commission, who had formerly supported Mr. Jones, and Mr. Jacobs receiving one vote, that of C.,0. Allen, of Greenville, who had placed the Clinton man in nomina tion. . 4 Soon aftetf' tfie selection of a chief executive • the * commission adjourned CHAUTAUQUA TO RETURN AGAIN Number of Public-Spirited Citizens Volunteer As Guarantors To Bring It Back Next Spring. The Redpath Seven Day De Luxe Chautauqu* will return to Clinton next year for its eighth engagement. This announcement will be. received with cordial intkrest by all Clinton- ians. , In response to the call for guaran tors, a hundred citizens quickly re sponded and the '1926 contract has been signed and passed into the gen eral headquarters office at Chicagcr. No urgent solicitation was made for guarantors but it was announced that the lists were ready and all who desir ed to help make the chautauqua possi ble .for Clinton were invited to give their signatures. There are some in all probability who were overlooked and desire to. attach their names to the list, f If so, they are asked to communicate with G. Cf Gdiorne, the ^ney. Iccal chairman As 'thej case' this year,' the chautau qua will return next season in May.
