The Calhoun highway is almost ready for a formaPopening. Several problems have recently arisen which are being worked out. Mr. Harvey Granger, chairman Savannah Board of Trade, and head of the Coastal route, recently prepared a hard surface map, proposed to the Georgia legislature for adoption. It did not include the Calhoun highway from Elberton to the Savannah bridge. However, his attention has been brought to the oversight, and he has agreed to include it in the program which is to be put before the Georgia legislature for adoption for hard-stir- facing the leading routes in Georgia.

The Agricultural Department shows that in 1924 the farmers averaged a profit of 21 cents a bushel 6n wheat and 28 cents a bushel on corn. Many lost money on every bushel, others made more than the average. Farmers that raised potatoes on thtf average actually lost _ money, and would have been better off if they hadn’t planted a potato. A good wheat speculator, knowing that the prosperous class wanted La Follette badly beaten, and was sure to put up the price of wheat, could easily buy a million bushels of wheat early in the campaign, and sell, it at a profit of one million dollars. It was a lucky farmer that could raise five thousand bushels of wheat and sell it at a profit of one thousand dollars. J. B. FRONTIS JEWELER CLINTON. S. C.

C. \ / The “pay-as-you-go’! act in South Carolina provides fqr hard surfacing through South OaTolina;~so itrSBffns now to only a matter of a few years before Atlanta and Washington will be connected by a through sur faced highway, the Calhoun highway, 56 miles shorter than any other route from Raleigh to Atlanta. For a long time the problem of the Savannah bridge has seemed insoluble. At last Flbert county, Ga., and the Georgia highway commissioru.have provided their half of the founcl, and are ready to go forward* with the work. Abbe ville county, S. C. t has provided its fourth, and the State highway com mission a year or so ago designated funds as its one-fourth contribution to that work. It is likely that action will be secured dt an early date, look ing to the actual construction of that bridge. The Thomas W. Cothran Ilemorial bridge, over the Saluda river, a mag nificent structure, will be open about the 15th of September. The Duncan’s creek bridges in Laurens county, with their connecting fills, will be open about the 15th of August. W’itH the opening of the road at these two points, the Calhoun highway will be open entirely through South CarohtMi without detours, but served by femes on Catawba river, Broad river, Tyger river and Savannah river. /The State Highway .Department is/rfow working ^on the engineering for a bridge over Catawba river, and as the State High way Department of Georgia is now ready to begin work qn the Savannah river bridge, there will remain only Broad river and Tyger river to be provided for in order to eliminate all ferries and give a free bridge route across South Carolina, directly con necting Raleigh with Atlanta. The Calhoun Highway Association has been quite an active association. It is headed by Mr. R.'E. Hanna, pre sident, Cheraw, S. C., and has for its divisional vice-president, Mr. D. H. Sullivan, vice-president of Catawba- Broad-Saluda division, at Abbeville, S. C. Mr. Sullivan is also the county engineer for Abbeville county. Both of these gentlemen are live wires, en thusiastic road builders. . , It is very important that Clinton be strongly represented at the annual meeting; that dues be paid in, and in order to that end, it is necessary that membership be recruited in Clinton for the Calhoun Highway Association. $1.00 per member has to be paid in to the geheral association fund to support the association’s work, which will now grow more expensive by rea son of the necessity of routing travel and developing' knowledge of this route as a through route. Clinton is interested in seeing tens of thousands of people from the North pass through this section, and in order to get them here they must be tol.d. The Calhoun Highway Association will do the tell-, ing, but they must have funds, and Clinton should do its part. We should, show at least 15p members and pay in $150 to the Calhoun Highway Associa tion as our part of the dues. The associatumolso needs funds for local purposes, and is now without -funds. A year ago considerable funds were raised, and by the use of those* funds the Calhoun Highway route was opened as a tentative route. If that had not been done there would have been no Calhoun highway through- Laurens county. Fortunately suffi cient funds were on hand to fight the referendum on the $250,b00 bond-is sue through to a successful conclusion. It cost about $1,000 in propaganda to win that election. The funds were in the hands of the Calhoun Highway Association and were used for the purpose of carrying the election. At the present time there are no funds in the Calhoun Highway Association treasury. That organization has'done such a big- thing for Clinton that it should be kept properly supplied with funds, and Clinton citizens should stick tp the association through to the ultimate conclusion of the cjevelop- No man can guess what power to speak well over the radio may mean in years to come. The other night bridge parties laid down their cards, women on farms stopped the late cleaning up of dishes, their husbands came in from evening chores, tens of millions listened to the President’s, clear, irttisive matter of fact voice, discussing in plain fashion the importance of national economies and laying down, ^o the satisfaction of every hearer, the simple .truth that the people’s money belongs^ to the PEOPLE.

NOTICE FROM PROBATE JUDGE AS TO THE INSANE OF COUNTY Those 1 ’ who at any time may think it necessary to send one of the family to the State Hospital will first con sult the family physician. If he thinks a commitment is proper, then come to the office of Probate Judge to begin. No patient can be commit- ed until the application goes to and returns from the superintendent. We can commit no emergency patient now as conditions are crowded. O'. G. THOMPSON.

Sunshine seems to keep cancer away. In English coal mines, mechanical cutters and carriers of coal are driv ing out men by the thousands. “The truth shall set you free,” says the Bible. Science IS the truth, and you realize what science has done to set humans free when you look at the pictures of women that used to work jn English coal mines, crawling on their hands and knees through -the narrow passages, an iron chain around their necks, passing under their bodies and fastened to a small coal car.

The government ought to spend a few thousand times $12,500 to fill up a lot of mosquitoes’ old swimming holes, swamps and other breeding places of malaria.
