*************************
Gentlemen:
The Calhoun Highway Associatic
has been in existence for one year,
consists of over 2,000 members fro
local associations at various points :
Clark, Madison, and Elbert countie
Ga.; Abbeville, Greenwood, Lauren
Newberry, Union, Chester, Lancaste
Chesterfield, Marlboro and Dillt
counties, S. C. Associations are
process of forming in the North Ca
olina counties of the Calhoun hig]
way route to Wilmington from Che
aw, S. C. The counties traversed ai
Robeson, Columbus, Brunswick ar
New Hanover.
As you are aware, the organizatic
consists of a president, three vi<
presidents?one for each of the stat<
of Georgia, South Carolina and Nori
' Carolina?a secretary and a treasure
, ' also a board of directors consisting <
a county vice president from each <
the counties traversed, and an add
tional director from each county <
the route,, additional to the preside)
and secretary-treasurer, who are e
officio members of the board-of dire
tors.
Each of the local associations hi
its president, vice president and se
retary-treasurer. Each local associ
tion is expected to collect membersh
fees of $2 per annum or $25 for li
membership, paying in one-fyalf
the fees to the treasurer of the ge
eral association and retaining tl
other half in the treasury of the loc
association.
The local associations are expect*
to bring constant pressure to be;
upon state and county and local of

clals for the improvement of the route|
The larger the number of members in
' each association the more influential
it may be expected to be with county
and state officials. It is therefore im5
perative that each association keep
' its membership up to the top notch,
selecting live wire officers, paying in
regularly the dues, and that the o.'licers
of the local associations keep con.
stantly alive and active in bringing
local pressure to bear upon local authorities
for the general association.
I I am glad to be able to say that the
route has'been approved by the State
Highway Commissions of Georgia,
South Carolina and North Carolina:
that during the course of the year a
* very large percentage of the mileage
jj of the route has been changed from
ordinary roads to improved highway.
? Only slight progress has been made
% on the big bridge problems at Savan?
nah, Saluda, Broad and Catawha l?j?
vers. The three largest of these rlk
vers, however, are passible by femes,
j: and have good ferries, though "larger
? and more efficient ferries on the Broad
? and Savannah arc desirable, and will
( o doubt bo installed prompt./ when
k the roads are built clown to the biidge
? sites.
Funds have been provided for the
% Saluda Rivpr bridge and application
* made for Federal aid for a 8140.000
? structure. Lynches 'liver bridge has
? been provided for. All smaller I
& streams are already bridged.
* Considerable progress has been mad
:}: made on the development of the dif,
rect route out of Athens to Elberton,
]: the road having been finished, partly
* hard-surfaced and partly top-soiled,
% surveyed and graded road to Colbert.
* Comer and Colbert are working to^
gether for a direct route connecting
^ those two points.
From Comer the direct route to El*
berton co-incides with the county seat
* to county seat road from Elberton to
* Danielsville. That road is being put
* in excellent condition. The third com*
peting route via Winterville from
* Athens, is said to be in good condition
J and is also being improved. There
* are therefore three routes between El*
berton and Athens competing for traJ
vel. This situation is very desirable,

roads when new construction is going
>n on.
It The route from Elberton to Cairn
houn Falls, S. C., has not thus far
in been developed owing to the necessity
s, of determining the bridge site on the
s, Savannah River. The matter has
r- been up time and agiii between the
>n authorities of Elbert county, Ga., and
in Abbeville county, S. C., and some
r- progress has been made in the matto
ter. Conflicting interests, however, on
r- competing routes have involved delay
re in the settlement of the problem, and
id has consequently involved delay in
pushing for Federal aid and for coun>n
ty support to the Savannah River
ce bridge project near Calhoun Falls,
ss Progress has been made on the
th route from Abbeville to Calhoun Falls
r; .and the road is completed from Abbeof
ville to the Greenwood county line.
t>f Greenwood county has located the
li- route entirely across the county to
>n Puckett's Ferry, and has joined with
nt Laurens county applying for Federal
x- 'aid for a $40,000 bridge across the
c- Saluda at Puckett's Ferry. From
that point Laurens county authorities

ton, with the exception of one mile C
of the distance in which the old road <
bed is< still in use. From Clinton east j
,a new road has been built for some
fourteen miles to within two miles of <
the Newberry county line. Steps are i
being- taken to improve the route, securing
co-operation of the farmers in j
maintenance, and it is planned to in- ,
troduce a bill in the next legislature (
for top soiling the road across the
county.
Newberry authorities have had it ^
in mind to connect up with this road
\ \ 7 u: i- : ? ,i <. ? e ? l t.
jiilvj vv iiiuinre, u uiisiuuue ui uuuui ,
two miles. Thencc the road is complete,
the Appalachian route to and
across Enoree River and thence for
about three miles in the direction of ,
Carlisle.
From that point the Appalachian
route veers to the north in the direc- tion
of Union. The supervisor of
Union county has promised to work
out the route from that point to tho
edge of Fishdam township. That
township ha$ voted bonds for road
improvement and contemplates constructing
the road across the township
to Broad River beyond Carlisle, near
the Seaboard trestle. The present
road is in rather poor condition
The ferry on tho Broad River is a
small one and travel is extremely
light by that route. Funds, however
are legally provided for in Chester
county for the construction of the
road into Chester from Broad River,
and when the 'road is constructed
across Fishdam township and from
Broad River into Chester a better
ferry will no doubt be installed pending
thb construction o? a first class
bridge across Broad lliver. The
State Highway Commission has given
some consideration to the I matter of
this bridge, and eventually as funds
come into hand the bridge will no
doubt be built.
From Chester the road is a top soil
road the greater part of the distance
to Catawba River, and a first class
ferry is in operation on that river.
Then to Lancaster the road is complete
and from Lancaster to the Chesterfield
county line it will probably be
completed at an early cla;e and in
good condition.
TVin /<nnu(r\f tli.a T. rnf'lP^ Tii
ver bridge has been delayed for various
causes, but has been provided for.
Thence an excellent top s->il road hns
been constructed across Chesterfield i
county in Cheraw, through the very
- enterprising towns of Pagvslan 1, Mt.
Croghan, Ruby and Chesterfield.
'ine main route of the Calhoun
highway ends at Cheraw where it taps
the old capital to capital highway, now
known as the Quebec to Miami highway,
running north through Raleigh
to Washington and Quebec, Canada,
and running South through Columbia
to*Miami, Fla. This gives the connective
between the Bankhead national
highway at Athens, Ga., and the
[flues!
