The Rhett pl&n has everything in its favor, except that some of the mem bers of the General Assembly do not want to take chances on the failure of a bond issue and are averse to delay. On that account they .suggested that an immediate tax of $L r per horse pow er with a special road tax of one or two mills, will get something immedi ately done. In other words they figure that one mill will raise $380,000; two mills will raise $760,000. With a dol lar per horse power license tax on au tomobiles, supplemented by the feder al aid it is figured that there would be over $3,000,000 of funds available an nually without delay, and if this meth od be continued there would be ah ex penditure of, say, three millions, and this would get what some argue quick er results than to wait on a bond is sue. - » .Of course, there is going to be a great deal of contention as to what work shoi^ld be done. Some legisla tors already open and avowedly say that they are not going to do anything to help a bond issue unless their coun ties get fqll. share of the ne\v roads. It is argued that the best thing to do is to have a scheme that will con nect up all the counties and to provide for a north and south and east and west artery through every county as far as practicable, but to give each county a certain amdunt of mileage and then later on connect up these fractions. , It is agreed by all that haphazard construction and indifferent engineer ing should be abandoned, and that whatever system is to be developed should be mapped out by a central board, preferably the State Highway Commission, and.that then these links can be connected up. To popularize the scheme a certain amount of per manent work will have to be done in every county, and where this is along a well-developed plan, and a system that can be connected up, it might be practical. ^ As to the Constitutional Convention. The indications now are that the people will in 1920 be given an op portunity of voting whether or not they will want a constitutional con vention. The Senate, which has here tofore been a .stumbling block, has voted in favor of submitting the ques tion to the people. The resolution in favor of submitting the issue to the people has been passed by the Senate and is now under consideration on the House side, where it has heretofore always prevailed. -Liquor! It almost sounds like a ghost reappearing in the legislative halls.- Generally there are a score or more of measures undertaking to solve this problem. This year there has been no mention of “bone dry ' or anything else along that line.

X ice // , The epidemic of influenza seems to bfc on the increase in Barnwell, many /e\v casts having developed during the past week. Unless there is an early change for the better it will be necessary for the health authorititis to establish a rigid quarantine again. Attorneys Hdgar A. Brown and Chas. Carroll Simms attended the fun eral of J. W. Vincent, Esq., at Hamp ton Tuesday.
