for convicts and maintenance of road
visor to build roads and bridges in the
county and 2 mills in each township
for the commissioners to. maintain the
roads and bridges in the towsnhips totals
4 3-4 mills. So the levy is the

even suggest hs the automobiles are
rapidly increasing, which will increase

entire outfit would not be needed, in
that case, it would cooperate with the
adjoining township and use the same
machinesy, paying its proportion. This
would likely require a larger tractor,
which would be determined by the
supervisor and commissioners. Ten
outfits should work all the county
roads, which would amount to $10,650.00,
or a levy of 1 1-2 mills, which
the county would raise.
Cost to Operate Machinery Per Day.
Two persons $8.00, oil $3.40, cylinder
oil $1.25, repairs $1.00; tot'1
$13.65. This to be supplied by the
township fund.
Work Per Day. '
This outfit is estimated to work five
miles per day?according to condition
of roads. This would cost, say $3.00
per mile.*
Should a township contain 100
miles, it could be worked in twenty
days for $300. Should it need four
workings during the year it would

and desires of the people. When not
using the machinery or drag, the contractor
could haul clay with the tractor
to fill low places, clean ditches, cut
bushes,^ repair bridges and other necessary
work.
This plan makes the township the ;
ifhit? reaches .every road and is just'
to all. Once a road is built it would
be* properly maintained and v get better.
The weak place in all our road
plans- have been' maintenance; this
corrects it.
Permanent State Roads.
The State highway commission,
committees on roads, bridges' and ferries
of the general assembly, could
agree on a system; make, a plat of the
roads, submit it to .the general assem- .
bly and if there approved, name the
amount of bonds to build them and
let the people vote on -the bonds and
roads at the 1920 elections, the levy to
beon all taxable propertK of the
State. ; . >
I repeat, this is not a perfect plan,..
the airaounts, etc., are estimates. I am
seeking an improvement over what we
have and invite suggestions of any na- i:
ture from any one by correspondence
or through the press. :

CHARLES H. BARRON
WRITES TO CHAIRMEN
*
All those who by their magnificent
, ' . ~
work and unselfish de?rotion to the
common cguse when the nation was at
grips with the enemy, aided in the -several
Liberty Loan campaigns to
finance the government and to back up
the fighting men on the frontiers of
freedom, are hsked by Charles H. Bar-*i
V>. - '
ron, who served as;State chairman for
the Victory Liberty Loan campaign in
South Carolina, to lend their efforts
as unselfishly and as sincerely toward
the raising of the $400,000 fund to be
subscribed by the people of the State
in the campaign from September 2y
to November 11, to erect a fitting memorial
vto South Carolina's soldiers in
the great war.
Mr. Barron has sent out a letter to
the several c^nty chairmen who
served in the Liberty Loan campaigns
urging them to assise in the worthy
cause. Obviously it was impracticable
for him to write all the individual
workers and township chairmen, but
their aid is essential, and it is believ
ed, will be cheerfully given.
Mr. Barron's letter follows:
"Columbia, Aug. 29, 191ir.
"To County Chairmen in the Liberty
Loan Campaigns:
"A month from today?on September
29, the first anniversary of the
breaking of the Hindenburg line by
the Thirtieth Division?the campaign
of the South Carolina Memorial Commission
for $400,000 to supplement
$100,000 appropriated by the general
assembly for the purpose of erecting,
a memorial building to honor the men
from this State who fought in the
great war and those who made the supreme
sacrifice for the cause of civilization
and human liberty will begin.
While the campaign will extend, if
necessary, until November 11, the anniversary
of the signing of the armistice
it is the hope and-belief of the
Memorial Commission ' that the fund
"will be raised in the first^ few days.
To this end I desire to asl^ as former
State chairman in the Liberty L^an
campaign, fhat you lend your aid and
assistance, cooperating T with ycur
m ,v
county chairman and county organization,
because I know how invaluable
to this worthy and noble, cause
your efforts "will be.
"I ask further, that so far as possible,
you communicate with your for''
mer organization members, enlisting

them in this fine work. It is a matter
that, I am sure, is close to your
heart, as to the hearts of all loyal and
true South Carolinians; and in honoring
our soldiers who fought for us
in this way we shall be only paying
them a, very small part 01 tne everlasting
debt of gratitude and love
which we are due them.
