preliminary work comes, under the
Rhett plan, the $25,000,000 bond issue
which under the government aid plan
would be considerably augmented.
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. One little bill
has been presented undertaking to
change the quart-a-momh law to one
gallon a month, but with national pro
hibition last approaching the legisla-

, 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. Mr. Vincent, who died
of pneumonia Monday, after a short
illness, was a resident of Barnwell
for several months, during which time
he made many friends here who will
sympathize with the members of his I our silent Sovereign best,
