STATE HIGHWAY C PREPARES BU Confer With Governor on Plan for Measure to Ensure Proper Upkeep of Highways. Steps looiung to tn? enactment ui measures Ivhich will provide South Carolina with a well maintained system of State highways were taken when the State highway commission held a brief session with Governor Cooper last Jweek, at which time a hill which will be introduced at the next meeting of the general assembly was discussed in detail. The bill provides maintenance for the State highways, and also offers / encouragement to the several counties to bring their county roads up to such a .condition that they will be taken over by the State highway comission il-and perpetually maintained- by the jf' -commission. < C. O. Hearon, a member of the commission, in speaking of the bll yesterday, sad: "In my opinion,i main tenance is about the largest factor in ? . a State system of . highways. The snain feature of the bill which we disjcussed with the governor today is maintenance. It is folly to provide a county with an expensive piece of roadway and then have it disintegrate * through lack of proper care. The heart of this bill is maintenance." Continuing, Mr. Hearon said, "The tax on automobiles in South Carolina brings in approximately $350,000 every year. Eighty per cent, of this money goes back to the counties from whence it came. Twenty per cent, is expended \ in meeting the expenses of the high way commission, the making of surveys, salaries, office rent and so on. "Now this bill provides that the tax ^ on automobiles be increased from 25 >. cents to ?0 cents per horse power, while trucks will be taxed according to their weight. All the money derived from this tax is to go to the State highway commissi son. The bill provides that 25 per cent, of this fund is to be expended in the work of the commission; the balance, 75 per cent., is to be turned back to the counties?but not qirte in the same way it is turned back no v. "Here's what rwe want done. Say At.- vicUc 'flO / ?/ ? 11 ri rvf tU? WllillUOCiVli .Vicuo tiiv Greenville, and finds therein roads which may be included in a State system. If those roads are up to a certain standard, constructed in a certain way,, they will be taken over by the 5jtate highway commission. And they will be maintained by the commission r-^and the folk in the county can cease m\ to -\y?xry about them. "We would not take over all improved roads, but only the few miles which would be ? part of the State system of roads. The expense would, be borne by the autot, ^yjraobile tax.'.' we knciw," continued Mr. j Hearon, "that many counties have no roads that could be called State highways. We provide, in this bill, that in ouch eases roads be built by the county with the assistance of federal aid; after these i?oads are built, the engineers will visit them, and they may be included in the State system and taken over by the State highway commission and kept in good order without any assistance from the county other than that derived from its automobile tax. "All the construction of roads would rest on the counties. Their adoption j by the commission as parts of a State i system of highways would rest with the commission. "The commission has also under consideration a property tax for highway construction.

A proposed property tax 1 will sound sentiment pretty accurate- j I ly. The commission was in session a large aart of the day, and the features ! of the bill were given careful con- | sideration.

(P. H. McGowan in The State). Washington, Aug. 7.?Senator Dial said today: "I have read with interest and concern that a number of South Carolina Democrats will be barred from participation . in the primaries for the nomination of candidates for congress in the Sixth and Seventh District, because they were absent on military or naval service when the club rolls were open last summer." Senator Dial continued: "It has been said, in the discussion of the matter, that the number of Democrats thus situated is relatively small, and that time is lacking and the expense would be prohibitive, so that it is not practicable to call a. convention and make special provision for their enrollment, f I can understand that this may be the case, but it is deplorable that^oldiers or sailors, however small the number involved may be, are to be deprived of their votes and I would favor any / practicable and reasonable expense and trouble which would remedy their case. I think it was bad enough that we had not in force some machinery by Which our men overseas could participate in the primaries of last summer. England had measures for absentee voting and some of our American States had, for instance our neighbor State of North Carolina. Surely our Democratic convention, at its next meeting wil provide against s.uch disfranchisement in another war or whenever soldiers of ours are absent at primary of election times." ? HOME GARDEN NOTES. Prune the hedge this month. Do not let it get into bad shape, and if it is a young hedge prune it back so it will thicken up at tne oottom. Keep the grass cut and the walks edged up. Where the rains have washed out tlje roads get some soil and re\ 9 place thatfctaken away. Fill up the little gullies and sufrace the road. This work done now will save a great deal later. Clean up the flower garden and re id?!#* wm i \ I . ^!. I move all the deal stalks of the annuals that have passed flower. If more flowers are needed in the ends plant some seeds of the quick growing ones so they will flower before fall. August is a most trying month in tne garden ana aoout tne nouse, ior it is either too wet or too dry and it is sure to be hot. If it is too wet everything takes to rotting, and if j there is not enough water all the [ plants dry up. This means that a good I gardener keeps up spraying during the wet seasons, and when it is dry the same gardener takes up irrigating. When watering do not just sprinkle but apply water until the soil is wet as if it had rained. After a day or so the beds can be worked as if it had rained and the moisture held in the ground. There is no reason why every home that has a little space should not devote some of it to blackberries. These fruits grcfw readily and make a crop almost every year. The wild fruits are usable, but are not nearly so nice as those cultivated. The clutivated ones are larger and may be picked at home just right for eating. Varieties to use are Eldorado, Kansas and Wilson. Begin to plan on the strawberry bed. There should be one about every home. If you do not wish to grow them in a bed it is a good plan to border the vegetable garden with them. Planting should be done during September and October. In warm climates the plants should bear only one crop and then be dug up, for they will have a hard time going through the hot summer. In cold climates a bed may be run for three to fou. years before being removed and set elsewhere. PLOWING WITH TRACTOR. Engineers of the department of agriculture say that better tractor plowing can be done if the plows are lifted across the ends of the field, rather than kept in the ground an tne time. Short turns are awkward for most tractors, and much time and effort are usually lost in rounding a corner and getting the plow in position for the next trip.
