M. R. LeROY. FOR SUPERVISOR For Supt. Education HIGHWAY NOTES (By H. C. M. in Augusta Herald.) Soulh Carolina has treated Au gust ^ even better than Georg a has in the number of important state highways that have been g.ven to tor this city. This shows a breadth of spirit and treatment on the part of our neighboring state that Au gusta appreciates. Nothing nrcvin- 'val or prejudiced about that. In fact. Augusta, cn her part, ndustnally and commercially has ju~t as hearty an i"t o r''st in seeing and promoting the development and welfare of the South Carolina territory adjacent to her as of the Georgia territoiy. Au gusta has shown this interest in many ways—notab% in the large amount of capital she invested in cotton mills in the Horse Creek Val ley in Aiko n County—in some six large mills . If she cannot get an industry for herself, Augusta is as much interested in helping to locate it tn nearby territory in Aiken, Edgefield, or McCormick counties as On the Georgia side. She w’shes to see that rural territory develop, be come well populated and prosperous, and is anxious to aid this develop ment in any way she can. The in terests are reciprocal—iyour neigh bor’s prosperity adds td yours. The highway over Sand Bar Ferry bridge, through Ellenton, Milletsville, Allendale, Fairfax, Garnett, Tillman, Hardeville to Savannah is by far the best highway between Augusta and Savannah—the best in roadbed and the fastest. The roadbed is of the very best sand clay and is kept in I the pink of condition except for about fftee ■ miles between Hillman and Hardeville which is now being graded to standard. There are many miles of nearly straight road on this line, according to the method of South Carolina in making new roads as straight as practicable. This is a pract'cally level road all the way to Savannah—<the lowest in grade of any road out of Augusta. Try it the next time you go td Savannah and you will recommend it. The highway through Aiken, Will- iston, Blackville, Bamberg to Char leston is being paved at both ends and at places in the middle. It will be paved sooner than we think all the way to Charleston, connect'ng Augusta to the “City by the Sea” to the gratification of both cities and the intervening region. The South CaroFma highway commission, one of the most intelligently aggressive and progress ve in the South, is now considering the division of South Carolina into “highway districts” H facilitate bonding and looking to the complete pavement of all the main highways in the state in the next three or four years—including this road to Charleston. This would be one of the mdst notable achieve ments in the Union and would put South Carolira at once to the front for rapid development. At Windsor, on this Charleston road, a highway debounches to Springfield, Neeses, Otiangeburg, Parler. Lane, Andrews, to George town, by the sea; one of the most di rect, long highways out of Augusta. It is hoped that some day a highway may be put in from Aiken via Wag- ener and Swansea to Sumter. This connectich would open a direct trunk line from Wilmington through Flor ence, Sumter, Aiken, Augusta to At lanta and Birmingham and to Macon 60,000 consumers of Augusta are an important asset to the surrounding farming country which we should like to see the people in it get the full advantage of by the provision to them of modern road fac lities. Nat urally, this would be to Augusta’s ad vantage also. Many carloads of perishables are shipped fnom a distance into Au gusta, which should be raised here, to' enrich our own section. Augusta will welcome the day when all these supplies are raised around her skirts, in the two states. { \t We should be stung into activity if a foreign nation entered this country and destroyed 90,009 acres of land i n a single county. Undoubt edly we would be willing to spend an enormous amount of money to pre vent such an occurrence. Yet erosion has been allowed to cause this waste in a single county in the southern part of the Piedmont region of the United States. And this is but one example of the enoimous amount of devastation caused by soil erosion, which, in the opinion of the Depart ment of Agriculture soil scientists, is the biggest problem that farmers over a large area of agricultural lands have to face. Land deprecia-* tion by t the slow process of planing off the surface is of incalculable ex tent and seriousness, and it is al most impossible to visualize the de vastation of land that may eventual ly be brought about by soil erosion. Trans-oceanic flights are all right —provided they are made on a ship. • ' ( V 1 1 '■ * Buy the only car whose sales equal the combined sales of any other three can in its Held ~ . - Demand for Buick has in creased at such a remarkable rate that Buick sales equal the combined sales of any other three cars in its field.

Monetta, Batesburg to Columb : a, is the most impoitant read into Augusta from South Carolina, ard it is as well treated as any other road in South Carolina. It will soon be paved clear across the state from Augusta to the North Carolina lire near Cheraw. What is called “The Ridge Route” from Augusta via Trenton, Johnston, Monetta to Columbia, is receiving first rate treatment. It is to be paved in Aiken County within a few months ard is being paved from near Johnston to Columbia. At Trenton it has a very important branch, go ing up via Edgef eld and Greenwood to Greenville and Asheville, the Dixie Highway. At Greenwood this im- pcrt.ort highway branches to Laurens and Spartanburg, and on into North Carolina, across to Bristol, Tenn., and Northward. From Johnston, there is a branch up via Saluda, Newhcury, Union, Gaffney, Shelby, N. C., Morgarton, Lenoir, Boone to Bristol, Tenn. At Saluda there is a branch via Chappels and Clinton to Spartanburg. Tnis Saluda route is rapidly becoming of prime import ance into and 6ut of Augusta. A passenger bus runs over it from Au gusta to Spartanburg, with freight service promised soon. The road from Augusta . across Furey’s Ferry bridge to McCormick, Greenwood, Abbeville, Greenville, Anderson, Knoxville, is a trunk line of the futute. This completes the list of South Carolina state roads out of this city, making four state highways into Augusta, with num erous branches. Augusta, and we know the con tiguous territory also, is indulging the hope that as soon as the pressure is over of developing the present highways, several needed additional state highways may be put through nearby areas now with out adequate facilities into this city—to develop these areas of South Carolina terr'i- tory and to enable the inhabitants to sell their produce in this market. Notable is the old Martintown Road, a Revolutionary road, running from Augusta to Ninety-Six. This was One of the earliest South Carolina roads, attracting early settlement with some fine old seats upon it. Due to the lack of a railroad and good highway facilities much of the pop ulation has removed. It is too fine a section of country to be left in this condition, and that old road should be made a state highway from Au gusta to Ninety-Six, in which case it would rapidly resettle. The road was named from the Martin family which settled on it about 20 miles from Au gusta before the Revolution. Mrs. Martin was Elizabeth Marshall, an aunt of Chief Justice John Marshall. Another road is from near the Sand Bar Ferry bridge to Barnwell, to de velop that fine area and bring its population close to a city market.
