PAGE TWO THE PRESS AND STANDARD J. L MOORE ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY J. E. Moore, who asnousces his c&ndM&ry for re-election to the of fice of Highway Coir.nilHloncr, haa made a rather remarkable record. He was first elected in and served ^or three terms. When lie took charge of the office, the credit of the county was very much Im- •paired, the county paper being dis counted at fram 20 to 40 per cent. At the beginning of this term of ser vice Capt. Moore states the records of the county show that It v.ai in debt 9101,000 and that he paid off this indebtedness and v. hen he went out of office, left 118,000 to the credit of the county. Of the 9191,- 000 indebtedness paid or liy Cap* Moore, 960,000 was for the raii~ja1 bonds. During this term, he built the an- nei to the Court House and remod eled the entire interior. He also rebuilt every bridge in tV county. He was elected again in I'M! and took charge of the office on January 6th. 1915. He lacked only a few Pond on the Comhahee Ferry road, a distance of about 8 miles. The chain gang has been under the supervision of P. M. Buckner. Twelve mules are used with the gang. This gang has built one mile of standard road In Sheridan town ship and three miles in Verdier on the road from Wfalterboro to the county poor farm. From Waiter- boro, the gang has built to Within tw 0 miles of "Rice Patch,” a dis tance of 18 miles. All of this is standard 'road. It may also be men tioned that on this road there have been two long causeways to rebuild, the one across Great Swamp near \V«lterboro, and the other Crews' Ford across the Little Salke- haUhie river. It will be remember ed that the causeway across Great Swamp is in three townships, Ver dier. Bell and Heyward. Some of the material used in completing this road had to be hauled a distance of three miles. The bridge on both these causeways have been built new ****** * * ******** * PINK HILL SCHOOL * **************** Jacksonboro, June 20.—On Thurs day night, June 16. quite a number of folk assembled at the Pine Hill school building to witness the clos ing exercises of this school. We have had a very successful term un der the efficient management of Mi^s IdelL> E Williams, of Williams. The program consisted of recita tions. songs, tableaux, pantomimes and short plays. Every one present seemed to enjoy the exercises to the utmost and Miss Williams received many congratulations upon the train ing and successful rendition of the program. A special feature was the presenta tion of a gold medal to little Miss Jenny Lee Garvin. The medal was given for attendance. During a nine month’s session little Miss Garvin was absent only one day and then on account of illness. The presenta tion was made by Mr. J. M. Padgett in a very brilliant manner. ^liss Williams left Friday morn ing for her home near Williams. Her many friends regret losing her pres ence in the community and w> hope to have her with us •P&ln for |}ext term. RHEUMATISM AIBESTEB Many people suffer 6m ten lame muscice and stiffened Joints of impurities in the blood, and ceeding attack seems more at To arrest it la quite aa I CAPTAIN J. K. MOOKK, CANDIDATE FOR HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER votes of being successful over three very influential men of the county in the first primary. The first work was to rebuild the three road graders and put in order all the rolUng stock. He also bought 12 addition al mules and organiied his forces to rebuild end repair the roads and bridges of the county. The bridge gang under the super vision of A. M Frances has rebuilt nearly every bridge in the county. The construction force under L. H. Zeigler, foreman, and 12 men has constructed the road from Waiter- boro to Cannady’s bridge, a distance of 12 miles on the road to 9t. George,. From ' Cannady’s bridge, they widened and constructed the Augusta road to th«* Bamberg line near Minus’ bridge, across the Edis- to River, a distance of 13 miles. From that , point, they began work on the public, road leading to Wal- terboro by Smoaks and Ruffin. They have completed this road to a point between th«> home of P. J Wilson and Ruffin, a distance of about 9 miles. These high*a>» have beeji made standard, that is. 39 feet wide, stumps and roots taken out, graded 26 feet and where clayed 16 feet. Captain Moore has organized a force in Broxton township and placed it under the supervision of l^fe Jones who, with It) laborers, has done sonic excellent work Beginning at the Bamberg line, at Folk's °ld mill on the Bamberg road to WalterbAro. this force has constructed a stand ard road to 1. D Ttixer’s and from there to the town of Lodge. Then coming back from Hirer’s on the "Barnwell road; they worked toward* W'alterhoro/din.i have completed the road to'Dry Branch, a distant e of in mile*. On this plec«» of road this force has constructed three big causeways and three new bridges. and the work speaks for itself. Maintenance of Roads. (’apt. Moore's plan for maintain ing the roads after they have been built is as follows: When a section of four miles is completed, it ie his plan to turn over this section to some good farmer to drag after each rain, or as often as may be neces sary. Drags have been construct*d and placed at intervals along the highways Tor the use of persons iu keeping up the roads. For instance, tlie road from Jaiksonboro to Horse Shoe, a distance of six miles, is be ing kept up by C. W. Butler; front Horse Shoe to Bolneau’s cross »-oads by (’: P. Kishburne; from Bolaeau s cross roads to Ritter by Cleveland Sanders; from Ritter to Possum Corner by Paul Sanders^ From Rit ter to Green Pond by C W. Drawdy from BOineau's to Walterboro by J E.
