If should also be pointed out, and not forgotten by the friends of the institution located here, that Repre- sentatives Huff, Owens, Sullivan, and Senator Goodwin voted against the bill which finally passed by a small margin. Representative Huff on the final skirmish on the passage of the bill, was one of the leaders in the opposition and moved to continue the bill, which in effect, meant to kill it. These gentlemen showed by their vote that they ate unwilling to use their influence to help an institution locat ed within their own county. The at titude of these representatives is cited to keep the record straight. Clin- tonians interested in this school and the splendid work it is doing, should know who its friends are and what support is given it in the legislature by our county delegation.

Citizens in terested in road development in this section have, been in Columbia the past week in consultation with the delegation and they bring back the information that the case is hopeless. The people of I a ureas county will not be privileged to again vote in the $500,000 bond issue after it has al ready passed and only declared illegal because of technical points.

THE CLINTON-KINARD ROAD A concerted effort has been under way for the past two weeks to get the county delgation to hard surface the Piedmont highway section from Clin ton to the Newberry county line at Kinard. but all efforts in this direc tion . thus far have proven futile. A bill has already been passed by the Newberry county delegation provid ing for the hard-surfacing of the high way from Newberry to the Ki nard line and the Newberry people have asked and urged upon Laurens county to take up the construction at that point and bring it on to the Clin ton city limits. Should such action have been tak:-n. it would give an un broken paved link from Newberry straight through Laurens. In fact, R would have left only a few sections in the Columbia-Greenvilie highway that have not been permanently pav ed, and these links are all treated with the gravel surface We have never been enthusiastic over the tar gravel surface now being usd and doubt the wisdom of putting it dpwn. We had rather see the link from Clinton to Kinard left as it now stands than to give it this treatment. Once it is put down, the possibility of getting a permanent hard-surface road is indefmiuiy postponed and the up of us who have to pay rent on it. Governor Richards is taking a stin gy attitude toward the pardon busi ness. How different'from McLeod. The chief objection that most folks have now against the legislature is that it won’t adjourn and go home. And. too. sometimes a man will refrain from doing a mean thing be cause he thinks people are watching him. J. B. FRONTIS JEWELER CLINTON. 8. C.
