Preparation for the promulgation of regulations governing vehicles on the highways of the state are now being taken by the state highway commission in accordance with Section 9 of the general act creating the department by the general assembly of 1920. Charles H. .Moorefield, state engineer, has sent out letters to a number of persons likely to be interested in the framing of the regulations, such as automobile associations, chambers of commerce, etc. The law provides that the state commission shall regulate traffic on ; the roads in South Carolina and the ; steys now being taken are to get the views of persons and organizations interested before any rules are made by the commission. It will likely be served months before. The rules to be framed will govern the weight of loads, sizes of trucks and wagons, width of tires and other necessary provisions to protect the highways. The old highway commission recommended the passage by the legislature of such rules and regulations that would protect the roads, but no action was taken. The new act maizes 1 provision for the commission to amply regulate traffic over the roads. . In speaking of the new regulations to ' be made, Mr. Moorefield said yesterday that all persons interested would be, invited to give their opinions on the matter and appear before the commission if they so desired. "We do not want to work hardships on any j % class of vehicles, but the roads must J be protected and we intend to do ] justice to every one," Mr. Moorefield J ? said. Section 9 of the act of 1920 creating the state highway commis- ] sion says: ^ "It shall be unlawful for any person to wilfully obstruct ditches and f drainage openings along said roads, to place obstructions upon said roads, or to throw or place on said roads any objects likely to cut or otherwise in- j jure vehicles using same. It shall < also be unlawful for any person, firm ^ or corporation to cut trenches, lay | pipes or tracks through, over or on J said highways and bridges without M first obtaining a permit from the state highway engineer; or to transport! over such highways and bridges loads j ] exceeding a specified tonnage or I weight per square inch of bearing sur- 1 face in excess of that prescribed in the 'regulations laid down by said j highway commission; or to run or < operate any farm tractor or traction engine with wheel lugs or cleats on! j said highway without first removing said fuss or cleats; or provide fillersjl i "" - w same so that no injury be done to * road surface, or to operate over said highways or bridges any motor ve- ] hide the maximum width of which or of the load it carries exceeds seven J and one-half feet, or to operate motor ' vehicles with chains upon or around ( the wheels contrary to such regula- ( tions for the use of chains which may ? be adopted and promulgated by the c state highway commission. "It shall also be unlawful to oper- 1 fite upon any of the public highways * of this state any two-wheeled timber t carts with tonnages or small wheel at tached thereto and it shall also be \ unlawful to operate any vehicle over said roads for the purpose of carry- j ing timber or other loads by which j timber or any other character of load v is alio we,d to strike or drag on the 0 surface of the road: Provided, further. That this provision shall not t apply to four-wheel lumber carts I where the load is so suspended as not * to come in contact with the road. Any violation of the provisions of this sec- ? tion shall be deemed a misdemeanor t and punished by the fine or imprisonment prescribed in section 15 thereof."

And What He Has Done in Congress "No man dares question the war record of South Carolina's Senior Senator, E. D. Smith, during the j war emergency." He is the greatest authority on cotton, and cotton j production in the United States Senate today. His advice and utterances on cotton are closely watch- j ed by Wall street. So much so that the cotton gam- j biers and speculators of the North are fighting him j fnv his fldvneaev of the eansp of the Southern white s ^ V'V ^ W ^ ^ ^ ^ ; farmer, and labor in general. j Some of the Things He Has Done / He is the author or exponent of: I t The Cotton Futures Act, passed by Congress reg- ! ulating the grades of cotton and restraint on the cotton gamblers and speculators. The cotton farmers and truck farmers are indebted to him for his untiring effort in having inserted in the Federal Reserve Banking Act as a basis of credit cotton warehouse receipts. j Nitrate of Soda is essential to the farmers of this j State. His untiring work along with others brought this product to the farmers during the war at cost, and released abundance of nitrates as oon as the armistice was signed. He fought for the Federal Land Banks and had one of these banks located in our own State. He fought to restrict undesirable foreign immigration to keep down competition from the low classes of Southern Europe in the cotton mills and industrial I establishments, so that the native workman would j not have his wages lowered. LABOR WILL STAND BY HDL What Senator Smith Is: He is South Carolina's most influential and experienced man in Congress today. He becomes head of the great Agricultural Committee of conj -i /> i fl n 1 ; gross by reason of tne recent ciereat 01 senator Gore of Oklahoma. I i He is the only Simon Pure farmer in the United States Senate, and the only representative of the southeastern States on the Agricultural Committee of which he will be the head. If South Carolina wants an influential man in Washington, Senator Smith will be re-elected. A vote cast for him is a vote cast for the best interests of the entire South. Senator Smith will be elected next Tuesday, because it is to the best intersts of South Carolina to re-elect him. Vote For Smith ............ i f I ~=>TRY THE<=? | inew whistle! f i V T ?
