FOLLaOW TilM illiiCIl, In one of the local ehurcies Sunday milorning a printed statement of the past year's receipts and expenditures was distribtted to ite congregation. In annoctinl(llg the publication of the statement the minister said that he considered it the duty of ollicials of any co-operatlive organization to give an account of finances so that the mtemnbers may kn1o0w how tIheir inds are (Xpelded.

The position that this ('llutreh and olier tthi rclies have tahein in this regard is the samlie position that I'h'e Advertiser has al ways take in aniothier co-operative or ganization--tie 'ity (Of Lauren. it is the right of the imetibers of atny joint enterprise to knlow of its offic lals low its moneys are being ex pended, whether wisely or unwisely, honestly or dishonestly, eficiently or inefficiently and whletler' the eitir prise is showing a prolit or going into debt.

Joseph -B. Humbert of Prince ton, Sullivan township, Laurens coun ty writes to say that the high'way commission of the county, in improv ig the roads, should - give attention first to those of Sullivan township. 1le says that as a member of the legisla ture (Captain Ilumbert represented Laurens in the "Wallace louse" and in subsequent legislatures of that (lay and there are In South Carolina few men now whose words deserve to be -ore hedi) he voted for a bond is sul amounting to $150,000 for the coist ruct ion of railroads that connect the City of Laurens *itih the cities of Greenwood, Greenville and Spar tanburg. All these years the city of I lau rens. Ilie towns along the railroads and tle countryside that they traverse, have had the advantage of these steel highways, while :Sul ivan 1township, the txlreile western part of the counti ty, its citizens paying taxes to defray 11,4 interest oil the honds, has had no railroads. Capaill l1uiibert contends that, sinte the people are to be taxed for tlie now system of highways, the distriets heretofore neglcet d should have attention in pireferenee to those that were provided -with) railroads. The State thinks that his argument is sound and Ihat it should be ae(i)t - ed as a principlie apiplying. not only to Suillivan township, hut to localities in every parlt of Suouth Carolina. If we are to b1uild improved highways andl mailntaiin them, the aim should be to plrovili transportation facilities to tle pe1olle who are now without t11 lhem and to develop with Comlleteless and sym imitiry It whole State of South Caro lina. The iople (an not afford at this time to spend great sum1s o1 mon y in roads for idasure and ull1ess tlit pro posed, highways can he it rned to econonimic benefit. thir1 construction shoulId not be, at present. uinderit aken. Taking Sullivani towislhip, as typical, it should be given hard, silooth roals Ieahbli the year round, because it is withboutl ni-tal roads over Which cars are driven by steel or electricity, tle year arould. ood roads, iwhether liey hi made (f erosstiis andti steel rails or of cc milln t, ari'e too few in Solilh Carolina fo' tlie 14otle to Indulge inl parallel roads so firl as they may he avoided. The citizens near the railroad should be insellIsh eniough to be content with that convenience or to drive a motor car throtighl the mud until his neigh hor ift *en 1 miles a way shall have some way of avoiding the muld. Neivssarily, somi paralleling of the railroads and trolley lines, in fact a good deal of it, will be iinescapalH'. butl Ilie iprineiplie that Captaill Itumu hert has so well set forth shold he acetid b llte State highway and tOie countly highway commission.
