It looks to us now 'ike an attempt at "killing the goose that lays the golden egg." In commenting on the State Highway department the Greenwcol Index recently had this to say: "The fight on the State Highway department seems to have teen the outstanding feature of the .State Legislature this session aside from the elections which have been very striking features. "It is the same old crse of putting ones personal desires above the public good. The State Highway department has done most excellent work in South Carolina. It has brought system and has made it possible for this state to claim its share of federal aid road money. "It is inevitable in a plan to link up the county seats of the state that there will be a clash with local views in some of the counties but a reasonable view ought to brim advocates of some local road to reasonable condition. It would be fai better to have one piece of real road in a county, even though not where a majority of the people wanted it, than no such road at all. It would be an object lesson that would eoon bring the people to such a pass that they would be willing to do something in their own behalf and so get the roads which they wanted most of all. "This county has found the State Highway department a great help in many ways. Its officers are most courteous and efficient. They know their business and are on the job, quick and ready to respond to requests for aid and for suggestions and show a most commendable desire to cnnivrate. If South Carolina is to continue to get a share of the federal aid road money it must have a State Highway department. And the department should not be crippled and handicapped in such ways as have been proposed in the bills which have been introduced in the legislature this, year and fortunately so far have been killed." Through the functioning of the State Highway department great good has already been accomplished for Williamsburg county. A system read improvement work has been brought about through the department that otherwise would never have been accomplished. Federal aid has been received and, we believe, is being wisely applied in Williamsburg county. That is, road improvement work of a permanent nature is going' forward which will soon connect the county seats of Williamsburg and Clarendon counties, and yet this is only a beginning provided the department is not put out of business by a bunch of near-sighted legislators and a coterie of riossback constituents who dread public progress from fear of taxation. Permanent road building is what South Carolina needs and what the majority of her citizens want They have demonstrated in a measure their willingness to meet the federal aid requirements bv putting up their money. It is the only means by which we may hope to have permanent roads. Yet there are those who would prefer the old system of wasting, literally wasting $80,000 to $50,000 annually on roads and bridges with practically nothing to show for the expenditure, then attemp to find solace in the heaping of abuse upon the "road engineer" and the county authorities, and during campaign times some would actually demand "Where is the money going." The County Record is thoroughly in accord with the views of the Green- I wood as quoted above and with the * Charleston News and Courier it believes that "The creation of the state Highway Department was one of the most progressive actions South Car- ^ olina lias taken in years. A worse ^ blow could scarcely be dealt the state now than to destroy the department or cripple it seriously. That is the way thousands and tens of thous- J ands of people feel and if anything of this sort should happen there would _ certainly be one of the loudest outcries South Carolina has iistened to in many a long day." The County Record is also of the opinion that our road system has at last been solved. Results are begin- ,v ing to show up. If our legislators ? : will just let the State Highway Comi mission alone and direct its attention tl to revolutionizing the present abominable tax system so that honest men will not be made liars and hypocrits of. then South Carolina will enjoy a new prosperity and an era of genuine progress. w Very satisfactory progress is re- ^ ported by those who have in charge the petitions for the signatures of y( those who are in favor of a bond is- * sue for paving streets and extending ^ the towns water and sewerage sysforvic TVpvp arp a nnmher of DrOD- ? erty holders in the town, however, C( whose names have not been added to the list. ?* An act has just been ratified by the General Assembly which so amends ^ the State Constitution so as to permit the town of Kingstree to increase its ^ bonded indebtedness. As .soon as enough names have been secured to ^ the petition an election will be held oh the question. To be sure the ma- f! jority of the free holders here want these improvements to go forward J without undue delay, and in order to ^ facilitate the necessary routine for ^ holding a special election it would ^ be well for all who are interested in VI the plan of improvement to get out and look for the men who have the petitions and not wait for them to ycome to you. Let every one awake _ to the importance of this work ? and help push it through.
