ONLY FIVE STATES
FAIL TO QUALIFY
FOB FEDERAL GOOD ROADS AID
?SOUTH CAROLINA ONE
OF THEM.
Fortv-three of the forty-eight
States will qualify for Federal aid
in roads under the Bankhead bill,
recently reported favorably to the
Senate by it? committee on postoffices
and post roads.
South Carolina, Indiana, Georgia,
Mississippi and Texas are five States
which have yet to equip themselves
with a centralized direction of roads
improvement. Indiana has an active
campaign in progress which
aaght to prove successful, energized
in great degree by the Hoosier State
Automobile association, which is
affiliated with the American Automobile
association, says an exchange.
Indiana is a great automobile producing
State, and a large percentage
of its farmers have adopted the
self-propelled vehicle.
Georgia is giving the question of
a State highway department, serious
consideration, while South Carolina
is in an equally hopeful condition,
while Mississippi -recently -voted
agaiDst tne creation of a State commission.
The legislators opposed
the legislation because it called for
* * i* PAA _
engineers, with a salary 01 $z.ovu <*
year. Maine pays $5,000, and pos/
eesses an unusually competent of**
ficial.
Texas under under Bankhead
measure would obtain more Federal
cooperation than any other State in
the Union; its area taking it into
first place, though it falls behind
many other States in population and
road mileage. It is a certainty that
Texas will provide a highway department
within three years, for
section 3 of the Senate measure
contains this proviso: "Except that
amounts apportioned for any fiscal
year to any State which has not a
State highway department shall be
available for expenditure in that
State until the close of the third
fiscal year succeeding the close of
the fiscal year for which such apportionment
was made."
The memorandum which accompanies
the Senate substitute bill contains
this reference to the phenomenal
traffic growth:
"Backwardness in the building of
public roads has been all the more
marked by constrast with the enormous
development of traffic. With./jflethe
brief period of about 10 years
? thp motor vehicle has been introduced
and developed until it is now
asserted that there are over 2,300,
000 motor vehicles in use, or about
one for every mile of public road.
If these vehicles are estimated to
average only 25-horse power, it
would mean & tal of over 57.000,OOO-horse
power brought into use
on our public roads with a suddenness
having no parallel in industrial
history. This new and domestic
traffic has, by its peculiar effect upon
road surfaces and its great strain
upon bridges and road foundations,
rendered infinitely more complex
the problem of road censtruction
and maintenance, which our systems
of management had already proved
utterly inadequate to meet.
"Ordinary horse-drawn traffic has
also increased to such a point that
we now speak of tonnage, not in
millions, but in hundreds of millions,
and of the ton mileage in billions.
It has been estimated that to move
/ the wheat crop alone in 1915 involved
the hauling of more than 30,000,000
tons over the public roads at a
cost of over $50,000,000. Some conception
of the immensity of our farm
production and the consequent move
ment of farm products over the country
roads can be gained from the
estimate prepared in the department
of agriculture that the production
of corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, cotton
and hay in 1915 aggregated
270,807,000 tons, while the total
agricultural production for that year
was valued at nearly $11,000,000,000,"
and this ensures a very close
fit, not liable to be affected by vibration."

had wonderful relief since I used

WORK STARTED ON ADDITION
To tbe Farmers and Merchants
National Bank of Lake City.
Active work has been commenced
on the addition to the Farmers and
Merchants National Bank, of Lake
City, to be built by Hoggson Brothers,
of Atlanta and New York. The
present building is a baking and
office building, well designed along
simple architectural lines adapted
from the English Renaissance.
The desicm is to be carried out in
light grey brick; the plain brickwork
of the upper portion contrasting
successfully with the rusticated first
story and the whole design being
brought out by the panelled parapet
and stone cornices and trim. It has
been the aim in the new portion to
produce a complete building, which
while adequate for the enlarged
banking requirements, will still preserve
the simple architectural lines
of the present building.
On the interior, the banking facilities
have been greatly enlarged and
bettered by the additional working
space and new counterscreen, providing
two additional wickets; together
with the new officers' space,
consultation room, ladies retiring
room on the first floor, and the directors'
room on the second floor.
One important improvement is
the new heating system, which is a
combination of hot water and forced
fresh heated air, insuring proper
ventilation for the banking space at
ail times.
The original bank building was
built in 1906. The officers of the
bank are: President, J S McClam;
vice president, T J Cottingham;
cashier, B Wallace Jones, Jr; assistant
cashier, W Wesley Singletary.
