Wood? ward, Conway. S. C. THURSDAY APRIL 2(D, ' 11 II I ???' I I , FACTS EST A HI. ISH ED It was contended that the new road from Conway to Georgetown could he put through the new road, as it has been called, by the Scarborough and Lewis places, for less money than it could any other way. The boards in charge of the location and building of the road said that this was not so. If they did not say this in so many words, they said this by their actions, for they claimed to have just enough money to do the work the cheapest way. Tlv.it the boards were wrong and that all of the engineers who agreed with them were wrong is now proven by the facts themselves and to the satisfaction of anybody who will go and look at the work they have done and will have to do to place this new ^.^>..<-1 ...? J Weill do dfti CAICIIMUU ill ruui III civt'nue. They have had to cut through hills and nvike extensive fills and it is easy to see that the work has cost more, or will cost more, when finished than it would have taken the old road through the cutoff by the Scarborough place and by the H. H. Woodward place, where recently, according to a local paper, some men got stuck while tlie recent water was up. Let us not forget to say that one of the engineers agreed with the Herald that the rejected route was the cheapest way through. This was McQueen Quattlebaum, by the way, one of the most skillful and well informed engineers ever employed on any part of this work. He did not hesitate to say that the lower route through the low land was the cheapest way for the road to go. What he said has been borne out by the actual facts as they have developed in the case. With funds as short as they are it is deplored that the work must be hung up all of this time trying to make an outlet from the end of Fourth avenue when the forces, if they had gone the other way, could have been well on the way to Toddville even by this time. With the money and time they have used on the route selected by them, the forces could have gone almost to Bucksport and have had the road finished almost to that point by this time. And the end is not yet. They are still spending thousands of dollars where they could have gotten through with hundreds. It may be that the money will give out, if it is as short as they claimed it was, before the new road is done, and then wlmt will t.hov do ? The road will be one of the most costly ever built so far as the keeping of it in repair is concerned. The reason is that it is built along the slope of the hills, where the high land and low land meet. They are making with earth that will tend to wash down the hill as time goes along and it will take much money to keep it replaced It' they had used the hard level surface which the other route would have provided this frequent repairing would never have been needed. As we have said many times before, somebody made a big mistake and it becomes more and more apparent as time goes on and the facts are being made plain by actual experience. IT IS GROWING We do not realize how rapidly our town is glowing until we s on and cast up the things that are going on all in a bunch together. It was this kind of thing that Mayor I.. I). Magrath did recently and made a speech before the Conway Civic League, giving facts and figures to prove what the town has done and is doing. The substance of what he said before that body appears in another article in last week's issue. o News received liom Florence recently was to the effect that the Horry Tobacco Warehouse here had been tendered to the tobacco marketing association for its use during the coming tobacco season. What the others an'i 11 do has not boon stated, hut it is supposed that they will he run as usual. o Knv.v and i!l will are the things which, too often, split the men of a community and keep them from doing the things that ought to he done for the benefit of all. Let's try to make Conway one place where the business men will do what they know is the best for their town regardless of their own petty likes and dislikes. o Every county seat needs a good iinwuri'.inoi1 mul fhnv ? #?*! I ivr? 1 Vi i < .soon as they have to do without one. While they have one they forget that it must be supported or else it cannot tfive the service it should give to be of much benefitj o The juries did the best they could in the trials coming in the court recently. They rendered some verdicts that were rather curious, but they doubtless tried to do the best they could under the circumstances of each case.

The tremendous possibilities o*' radio activities have reached such proportions that nearly everybody is talking about the comparatively new method of communication.

In line with its general plan of expansion, the Weather Bureau has further increased its activities- ir the way of disseminating genera weather information. Recently a co operative broadcast service was established in connection with the Naval radio station at San Francisco for distribution to Pacific Coast points. On April 15, broadcast service of general weather information will begin from the great Lakes Nava' Radio station at Chicago, by cooperation with the War and ^Javy departments and the Bureau of Communications. The morning bulletin will be is sued at 12 noon, 75th Meridian Time and the evening bulletin will bo broadcast at 11:30 p. m. with wavp lengths of 19.c8 meters. The ra'l letters will be N-A-J. These reports may be intercented by any radio station of sufficient power within range, and instructions con rernir?- the method of operation may be obtained by interested parties bv application at the Columbia, S. C. office ?>f the Weather Bureau. The reports will consist of rr?ner."l \*e;iihor information. warningand reports of unner air observations obtained daily by means nr k:teand sounding balloons.

Is it that the telephone company thinks, mayhe, that I talk to my wife too much?or are the jrirls trying to j?et out of work ? Now?" "Keep cool, Hill." soherlv advised the telephone man. "Let's inquire into this tiling. Now, how of ton do you really got the 'busy' signal when you call up your house? Every other time, you say?" "Wo'l, pretty often, anyway," temporized the reporter. "Just so," admitted the telephone man. "And don't you suppose your telephone maybe could ho busy, sure enough, every now and then? That's what you've got it at home for; isn't it?so your wife can call up folks?" "Well?yes?but she doesn't call that often?" "But maybe somebody is calling her." "W-e-l-l, that might happen." "Yes, it might, of course. But then you say the operators may just be trying to get out of work by tolling you your line is busy when it isn't, huh? Let's figure that out, too." "When you ca'l central a signal shows on the switchboard and ".he op* &Y, S. 0., APRIL 20, 1922 erator pulls a long. flexible cord, full of tiny wires and with a plug- on the end of it, up out of the keyboard, and she puts that plug in little hole in the face of the switchboard?we call it a 'jack'?and that connects her transmitter and receiver with the telephone you called from. Then sho pulls back a key on the switchboard so she can hear you, and she asks you what number you want. When you te'l her she picks up .another cord? the mate to the first one?and puts it in the 'jack' which connects up with t'ip telephone you are calling for?if she can." "But there may be another plug in that number already, which shows that someone else is talking to or calling for that telephone; or, even if there is not, there may be one con npcion wiui it (mi some oukt pan or < the switchboard, where she can't see < it. So. before she connects you. she * takes the plus: on the second cord and < ! t/ins the little metal rim ot* the 'jack' < twice with it. When she /does tint. { if sho hears a certain kind of a click. < she knows that line is in u<o, because * it has current on it, so she reports < to you that the line is busy." < "Now that busy line may mean < that someone else is actually talking < over the line you are c,ailing for. or * it may only be that someone else has < just called it and has been connected < up. or again it may mean that some- < one at that telephone is calling eon- < tral at that moment?hut in either } case it is in use. Now, when you cal* 4 another telephone .and get the busy < signal, what do you do?" ^ "Why, 1 hang up and wait a min- < ut'' '>f course?and then 1 call again." ^ "Exactly?and'every time you call ^ and don't get your number you have 4 made just as much work for the op- j erator as if you had got it. Well. 4 she knows, when she gives you the 4 first busy report that you are going ^ to call again and again, until you do 4 get it, and she'll have to give you the 4 connection sometime during the next 4 few minutes?so why shouldn't she be 4 glad to connect you up the first time. ^ if she could, and save the work of 4 answering you overd time-; more? J Don't you see, Bill, that to report a 4 line busy simply makes more work 4 for the operator instead or irorting 1 her out of work. That being the c.nse. 4 why in goodness do you --appose she 1 would tell you that the line i-; bury, 4 when it isn't?" r 1 "Uh, huh," said the reported, "Well, 1 I just thought I'd ask?" j "The trouble with you, "cut n the 1 telephone man solicitously, "is that 4 you're just nervous?what you need 4 is a rest. Now, 1 know a place where ^ the bass are so vicious itluit they 4 come right out on the bank and steal ^ your bait, and if you can get away 4 this afternoon?" ^ And the reporter and the telephane 4 man drifted away, heads together 4 and arm in arm. 4 M *.v -,v -.v Jfr *.v -.< -X- vr -X -X- -X -X- *X- -X- -?{ v?- -X- vr \v -X- -X -X- -X* v I | H I * L * R * n * * L * 1 r* 1. ? risn 5 5 r * * I * | Conway, S r ^ L f Everyb 0 E Li sfc *W, % ill >}?
