MANNING APPOINTS NEW HIGHWAY BOARD, eCHARLES 0. HEARON, EDITOR, AND J.. M. JOHNSON, CIVIL ENQINEER, APPOINTED. DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of South Carolina People, Gathered Around the State Capital. Columbia. Governor Manning has appointed -Charles 0. Hearon, editor of The 'Herald, at Spartanburg, and J. Mon roe Johnson, a civil engineer of Mar Ion, as members of the State High way Commission provided for in the act passed by the recent session of the General Assembly. The other three members of the commission named in the act are the heads of the departments of engineering of the Citidel, the University of South Car .olita and Clemson College. Mr. Johnson is one of the more widely known civil engineers of the state, having been connected with rec lamation and drainage work in the Pee Dee section of the state for the past few years. He Is a thoroughly practical road engineer and had tak -en decided interest in the problam of highway improvement in South Carolina. He was the organizer of the Johnson Engineers of the South Carolina National Guard which made such a reputation on the border. Mr. Hearon is one of the leading journalists of the state, for a number of years guiding the editorial des tinies of The Spartanburg Herald. He has been an unrelenting battler for improved highways in the piedmont section of the state, particularly in his county. It was mainly through his influence, asserted both in the col umns of his paper and through person .al work, that the magnificent trans mountain highway from Spartanburg to Hendersonville was constructed a few years ago. He was one of the pioneers in working for the million dol lar bond issue for improved highways for Spartanburg county passed at the recent session of the General Assem bly. Increase Not Adequate. W. W. Moore; adjutant general, has i-eturned to his office after a week" illness. Gen. Moore calculates that the Second regiment should reach Colum bia on the morning of March 14, if they leave March 10, as now scheduled. He thinks the entertainment to be given by Columbia should take place March 16. Gen. Moore received notification from the comptroller general's office of the recent provisions by the general assembly for military equipment and maintenance. He is pleased with the increase of the item for maintenanoe by $15.000. It was not enough, by far, he commented, but the increase would help in a measure. The chief denl (ciency is failure to provide for camp improvement ar'd development. This is particularly diesirable in that the federal government entrusts the state with half a million dollars wvorth of equlpmen t, for which thle state is r'e spOnisible and for which adequate pro tection facilities have not been pro vidled. Governor Approves Fisheries Bill. Gov. Manning anuproved the act of the last legislature to regulate the catching andi shipping of shell tish anid the creation ofT a state board of fisheries. Th'ie bill was fathiered in the senate b~y Senator G. K. Laney and Senator E. C. EIpps. The fisheries board will be comn posed of three members, who are to servo for three years. One of the members will b~e appiointedl as chair man of the board at a salary of $1,800 while the other t wo immbers wvill re 'elve $4 a day and expenses, the work in one year not to exceed 30 days. A tax is placed by the act on the fishing industry to pay the expenses of the board of fisheries. For the enforcement of the varied provisions of the law, four inspectors are to be appoitnted by the board. One of the inspectors will receive $75 a mon-th and the other three $00 a month each. Governor Appoints Delegates. Gov. Manning h' apinited sit delegates to the 13th national conveni tion on child labor, to be held in Balti more, March 23.25. The representa tives from this state are: D. D. Wal lace, Spartanburg; Miss Louisa Pop penheim, Charleston; J. E. McDonald, Winnsboro; Mrs. A. C. Ligon, Orangee burg; the Rt. Rev. W. A. Guerry, Charleston; and the R1ev. Z. T. Cody, Greenville. Strengthen Child Labor Law. The state child labor law was amended by the recent leglslatuire to eon form to the general provisions of* the federal staute, which excludes i rom interstate commerce goods man tufactured by children under 18 years of age, Children between the ages of 14 and 16 years may beemployed on certain exceptions. The federal law becomes effective September 1, 1917. The federal statute covers "any mill, cannery, factory or manufactuiring establishment," also any "mine or anarrz." Ceremonies Meet Weevil Problems. The South Carolina Creamery Asso ciation was organized at a meeting of the presidents, managers and secre taries of the creaneries at Columbia. The meeting was called for that pur pose by W. W. Long, state farm dem onstration agent for Clemson college. James M. McIntosh, president of the Darlington creamery, was elected pres ident of the new association and W. W. Fitzpartick of Clemson College was elected secretary. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Long, but immediately upon the election of Mr. McIntosh to the presi dency of the association, he assumed charge of the meeting. Mr. Long. in his opening remarks, dwelt upon the high price of cattle feed the last year, and of the value the creameries are and will be as an outlet for the dairy products, especially when the state is having trouble with the boll weevil. Notwithstanding the high cost of feed for cattle, however, Mr. Long said he considered that the creameries of the state had been successful since they had been self-sustaining. He expects the development of the creameries to be very rapid. He said the cream eries would form a good outlet for the surplus crop of hay and grain which the boll weevil situation is expected to produce. Two new creameries will probably be formed during the year at points now under consideration. Among others present at the meeting were: .J. C. W. Bischoff of Charleston, who is the distributor of the Palmetto state brand of butter, which is pro duced by all the creameries and which has been copyrighted by the $tate of South Carolina; A. E. Atkinson, pres ident of the Orangeburg creamery; Gabriel Cannon, secretary-treasurer of the Spartanburg creamery, and J. M. Burgess, secretary-treasurer of the Clemson College creamery. Whole State Busy for Roads. The good roads fever has seized South Carolina by the throat to such an extent that counties are now vieing with each other to raise themselves out of the mud. This epidemic of good roads is so contagious that at the re cent session of the general assembly ten counties passed good roads bond issues aggregating $4,398,068.48. Two years ago Greenville county blazed the way with a good roads bond issue of $950,00 and this pioneering of the "Mountain county" is being followed by one-third of her sister counties of the Palmetto state. Spartanburg lived up to her repu. tation as the "County of Success" with a road bond issue of $1,000,000. This issue was authorized by act of the leg Islature and is now in force and effect. Pickens county also put on direct a bond issue of $250.000 for good roads. mcCormick. the "baby" county. pro vided direct a bond issue of $175,000 for good roads building. These three counties did not refer the bond issues to the people, following in this respect the lead of Greenville county. Thus bond issues totalling $1,425,000 for good roads building are authorized by the act of the legislature for the three counties of Spartanburg, McCormick and Pickens, and to this add the $950,000 of Greenville county makes $2,375,000 put on good roads in four counties by means of bond issues and none of which was referred to a vote of the people.. H-ighwvay commissioners are provid ed in the three counties where bond Issues are now certaIn by act of the legislature, In Spartanburg county the highwvay commission is composed of ive citizens who are appointed by the governor on reconmnendatiQn of the majority of the dlelegat-ion. In Pickens the high way c'omminission Is composed0( of three citizens of that county ap pointed by the governor on recommen dlation of a majority of the dlelegation. In McCormIck county the highway commission consists of J. J1. D~orn, chairmuan; WV. D. Morrah, T. A. D)ow tint. Albert. Gilbert, and J. Hi. Lyson, the latter ex-officlo because of his being the county supervisor. The governor OIls all vacancies. In seven other counties the question of issuing bonds for good roads deC pends on a vote of the people, the delegat ions htaving provided for Issues dependetnt on approval of a majority of the electorate at special election provlided for this purpose. The amounts b~y couties anid the date for the elec ti'ons Ott good roads are as follows: Benafort, $50,000. not later than Novembetr 1; (Charlestoni $275,000. date to 1)e set: Cherokee. $225,000. March 61; Chester. $450,000. Marchl 27; Cello ton. $500,000. April 3; Laurens, $300, 000, Mar. 27; Untion, $125.000. Mar. 20 Many Acts Signed by Governor.

E1 Loanhart 'CRITICISES SENATORS Governor Manning Scores Stubborn Band Who Defeated Armed Neu trality Bill. Columbia.-"if it had not been for the action of the handful of senators who prevented the passage of the arm ed neutrality bill, this inauguration would have been complete," said Gov. R. L. Manning. "Henceforth these men will be pointed out as men who failed at a critical period of our na tion's life to do their duty. Not only their constituents but the nation At large will hold them responsible and will call them to an. accounting. Ita is impossible to understand their motives. "There can be no question that the people of the United States, re gardless of politics, are back of the president in this international crisii. I know that the people of South Caro lina are solidly behind him and I feel that the citizens of every other state, north and south, are with him. "The presIdent put it well wvhen he said that the 11 senators who voted against giving him authority to arm our merchant vessels represented no body but themselves. "If we should get into war and the president calls for troops, South Caro lina will furnish her full quota." Farmers Will Plant Peanuts. Lexington.-The latest venture of the Lexington farmer is the peanut, a peanut club having been organized within the past w"ek with a large and growing membership. This new veu tre was started by Judge C. M. Efird, through whose efforts and influence every member of the club will have his crop threshed with a machine free of charge. Judge Efird started out to get ns many as 25 acres pledged, but since the matter has been pushed it seems that twice that many acres will be planted. The club will plant the Spanish va riety, said to be the best peanut for marketing and also the best for yields. The seed will be bought in large quan tities and at the lowest possible price. Two Get Sentence of Death. Rldgeland.-Declared guilty of the murder of W. D. Thomas by a Jasper county jury, Aleas Cooler and Will Da vis were sentenced to die in the elec tric chair on April 6. The verdict was returned after the jury had deliberat ed for four hours. Attorneys for the convicted men at once made argu. ments for a new trial. Judge Moore refused the motion and imposed the death sentence two hours later. W. D. Thomas was a wood rider foi the Okeetee club. Ile was found dea( in the woods on December 23 with i load of buckshot in his head, his horsi being killed at the same time. Coole: and Davis were arrested charged wi-tl the crime. Schools Plant Trees. Gaff ney.-Miss Mary Barrat the very efficient canning club agent of Cherokee county, is interesting thc various schools in putting out trees and plants on the school grounds to beautify them. The Robbs sc'hool, one of the most progressive in- the county, has plantedl a numbller of magnolias and umbrella tr-ees wvhich will add( much to the beatty of' the groundits. Th Is school emlolys two'( splendid t eachers wvho are impor-tant factors in the de velop~ment of the neighborhood. one of the miost progressive inl tile county. Work For Convicts to Do.

Sanders has stated that he is considering v-arious kinds of employment for the men under his charge, and will make an announree ment within a few (lays of the wvork chosen. Since the abolition of the chair factory which was maintained at the penitentiary.- for sonme months, there has beeni no work for the pris oners to do. SOUTI- CAROLINA NEWS ITEMS. The territory lying between L~exlng ton and the little town of Edmund was visited by one of the severest wind, rain and hail storms in r-ecent years.

I. The Slavery to Sin. Jesus' previ. ous references to water (Cis. 4 and 7) and to bread (ch. 6) were occasione by outward occurren(es io with th. reference to light. In th&a treasury (v 20) near to Jesus as lie spake were tw< colossal, golden lamilp standsI around which when lighted the people gath ered with rejoicing. Amid the blaze 01 this illuminiation, .Jests exclaims : "I an the light of the world." What Is more beneficent than light as it re veals, cheers and brings life, healti and happiness to mankind? Withou light there Is no vision. Witlout Jesu: there is no spiritual wisdom. Withou light we know not whither Nie tare go Ing. Without Jesus we grope in the darkness. Every ray of light, of truth of holiness and love comnes from hiiu for God is light, and in hii is no dark ness at all (I John 1:15). Some thini that these words were occasioned b1 the onlookers, seeing what Jesus hat written in the sand (vv. 1-11). The first step in the slavery of sin is blind ness ; the second is habit ; and th third is that of absolute slavery (Prov 6:22) Jesus was the incarnation of the lght 'of God. We cannot con 'elve of Jesus naking such an asset tion ats this, and being merely a goo( man. II. The Possibility of Freedom (vv I 31-36.)
