for the needs of the state’s unfortu

the support of these fundamentaj
needs.
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

REFERENDUM NOT ALLOWED
It is practically certain that no ref
erendum on the bond issue will be
provded by the legislative delegation
at its present session. 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 rea
son that the people are not allowed
to vote on the question again is due

Two Hours “Diversion”
A friend told us the other day of two hours* “diver
sion” he took with his wife—just on a little shopping
trip he expected to enjoy. They were buying groceries.
To begin with, they used the newly washed car, with
the nurin at the wheel. ..The auto had just been washed,
but befor? they had gone three blocks a $1.50 polishing
job was ruined.
That was just the beginning. At each place it was
necessary Ao. “engineer” parking space, and at every
store our friend was not only price referee, but delivery
boy, too.
The tour ended in his ruining a blue serge suit with
a mixture of bacon and flour, and he said he felt that
night as if he had played football. He told his wife to
order from us in the future—and save money and time.

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.
