The The Trunk-Line Highway Proposed Through Lincoln (Lincoln, Ga., Journal Last Week) A new highway through Lincoln from McCormick, South Carolina, is proposed and the authorities on both sides of the Savannah are un animously behind it and will put the question before the state high way Boards of Georgia and South Carolina at their next meeting. • This proposed highway will com plete a link of continuous highway from Columbia, South Carolina to Atlanta, Capitols of the two states, and will shorten the distance by twenty miles over any other high way route between the capitols. If and when the highway from Lincolnton to McCormick is built, there will then be a direct, unbrok en highway all the way from Co lumbia to Atlanta, with most of the road paved. The route established, a stream of tourists will line the road the year .’round and will put Lincolnton and other towns on one of the country’s main trunk lines. The Journal has from time to time agitated the building of this road, and it is gratifying now to note the universal interest that is being taken in the project. South Carolina and Georgia will have to build only about seven or eight miles each to connect each other. A bridge is to be built over Savan nah River to complete the connect ing links. The highway board of Georgia is said to be favorably impressed with the need of this highway, and it is believed its co-operation can be had at an early date. Likewise, word comes from the Palmetto State that the authorities on that side of the Savannah are equally as desirious of seeing the road built. This is a highway that is need ed much—and should be built if for no other reason than Lincoln’s in terest in the matter. The county is practically bottled in by rivers, having more river frontage than any other Georgia county and less outlets. It is a project that our people will get solidly behind, and let it be hoped that action may be had in the matter right away. A special in the same issue says: Lincoln county authorities are proposing a highway project to connect Lincoln county with Mc Cormick county, South Carolina, and the proposition will be taken up with the state highway board at its next meeting. It is proposed to connect the two county seats with a bridge over the Savannah River about eight miles from Lincolnton. With this stretch of highway buift, a direct highway from Atlanta to Columbia, South Carolina would be effected. In South Carolina the highway is pav ed from Columbia to McCormick with the exception of a. few miles, it is learned. Local citizens who are interested in the project will'go to the South Carolina authorities to enlist their aid in securing the co-operation of the Carolina highway bo^rd. Only about eight miles have to be con structed in McCormick county to complete the highway from Colum bia, Carolina’s capitol, to the Sav annah River. Completion of this toute will shorten the distance be tween the two state capitols by at least twenty miles, it is said by those who have made an investiga tion of distances of other routes.

Keeps Weather Eye On Caribbean KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 3—Even the far-famed soils of the Missouri River Valley are not too fertile to return good profits from the use of nitrogenous fertilizers on apple and other fruit trees. This fact is plainly shown by the larger number of exhibitors at the Miss ouri Valley Horticultural show held here who use sulphate of ammonia, a widely used form of nitrogen, in their apple and other fruit orch ards.
