:>rnl Com ii'i ?^IHorial!y say a:
The mort- closely one examine* the
U'l ii <atuig the off k'O of Si tic High
way Commissioner the more remark
able it seems that a measure of such
.. ^traordinary importance should have
g>ne through both the House and the
: Hate and m. !V^I tile appt>val -.I
the governor . without the public at
Ir.rgc ha\ ihg learned anything at all
a* to it? ? ? al nature or having -
it any ? > .. iid< ??* ation one way i?r the
other. Undoubtedly it changes very
radically the character of the State
Highway department. The question
ii! whether it docs not threaten to
tiansform it from an efficient busi
rtess organization into a political
machine.
That such a fear in justified can
not well be disputed when \t is noted
that the power of engaging and 6f
discharging all employes is espe
cially taken- away from the State
Highway Engineer and the Secretary
of the Commission and is conferred
upon the State Highway Commis
sioner. Certainly neither the State
Highway Engineer nor the Secretary
can be, expected to secure efficiency
in their respective departments if
they have no control over their em
ployes; and it is .certainly in order
that tile public should be informed
by the General Assembly of its. rear
soip; for making a change of this
character, one which on its face
would seem to be violative of the
; basic principles ?? f efficient business
management.
The public would like to knows too,
why the Chief Highway Commissioner
should have given arbitrary pow
ers to distribute the funds col
lected from licenses and the gasoline
tax i?i such banks as he may
personally designate, upon such terms
as he may personally agree upon,
.'and without any interest or security
| prior to the funds being placed in
I the hands of the state treasurer; his
authority not even ending there but
extending to the depositing of the
funds afe'r they are in the hand's _V?f
the state treasurer. To give to oru
man the hiring and firing of all em
ployes of the State Highway De
partment and the authority over all
its moneys ? say something like fiv
million dollars ? is to clothe him with
enormous power.
At the present time the situation
is that here there has been passed
a bill of the very largest public in
terest, a bill giving to one man pow
ers beyond those which any other
man in the state has wielded or will
be in position to wield, and the pub
lic did not even know that anything
Of this kind was in the wind until
the whole thing was over. We have
been surprised, for that matter, to
| learn from the chairman of the
Highway Commission, Mr. Rhett, that
so far as he knows no intention of
i
the uurpose of this new law was ever
laid before the commitiioj), the f ir.-*t
intiiiiation that ho personally had
with respect to it huving been after
its p;?s*a?v when, seeing in tho news
papers that' it had passed, he sent
to Columbia and secured a copy <>f
j itj being amazed when he discovers!
; its terms, whieh were wholly out (if
[line with what he hid been led to
believe H was propositi to do. it
j certainly queer that a bilf so far
reaching i" its possibilities should
"Have been put through under surh
I circumstances and explanations as to
! the whole business art* plainly called
[for.' ? ' '
Richard, the Lion-Hearted, during
i in- prustidt ''i niled that no
person in the army beneath tne de?
! gree of knight could play any sort

j gymon might do so, but no one was
{permitted to loac more than 20 shil
j lings in one whole day and foight,
{under penalty of 100 shillings.

Kershaw County Farm Women Meet
j The regular spring meeting of the j
i Kershaw County Council of Farm ;
iWomen was held Saturday morning
jut 11:30. Mr. J. G. Richards gener-l
oUsly gave the use of the High School
auditorium, an ideal -place for the !
meeting. The meeting was called to!
order by the president, Mrs. 13, R. '
{ Truesdale, and opened by responsive
! reading and prayer, led by Rev. |
j Henry Collins of Bculah Church. A f - !
jter the. roll call and minutes, read by
j the secretary, Mrs. .1. 'A. Bell, Mrs

' ence with two musical numbers.
Reports were then made on the

i gave a particularly good report, hav i
; ing held regular monthly meetings i
each month last year, although there .
.'was no home demonstration agent i tj |
' the county ftir several months, This
club has won first prize at the'counlyj
'fair for two consecutive years, and
I is planning to enter the ?state fair
j this year. The Cantey club was also
{ well represented, and is doing splen
did work in gardening. The Midway
j and Kershaw clubs have undertaken i
Exterior beau tipcat ion for this years j
work. giVing special attentWn to
j school grounds. The Charlotte Thorn p
I son, Lugoff, Mt. Zion and Bethunc
clubs are doing work in household
? management, and the Timrod club is i
doing some special work in nutrition. |
i Mrs. Moody Hough gave a report on j
} the Community Market, showing that]
? more than $800 worth of farm pro- .
ducts have already been sold at the j
] market this year. Mrs. B. R. True*- '
flalc gave a report on the fair, having'
done much toward making it a sue
; cess.
, After these reports Hun. W. B.
deLoach of the Camden bar gave a
fine talk on citizenship, emphasising
the importance of obedience to the
law. Mr*, Randolph Kirkland, one
of Camden's most popular musicians
then sang a nolo, accompanied by Mrs.
Clifton McCain. Miss Kethen, tin
marketing epeeialiii from Wktfehf o ?>
College then gave a very instructive
talk on marketnig, calling attention
i to the improvements made in the
method* of marketing poultry, Mi .
: Iio la ml (ioodalo of the legislative
committee was introduced? and ffl I
> lutisiy offered her support; to fliw
undertaking of the council. Mrs. s.
C. Plowden, tHo district agent spoke
if the importance of home demonstra
tion work, and called on the council
to work for 100 per cent attendance
at all club meeting*. The provident

; Mrs. James West; from Bethune club
