The effort of opponents OF railroad
rate legislation TO organize public opin-
ION on their side has been transferred
in large degree to the South. and Is
taking the form of a determined move
ment TO convince Southern Senator'S
especially. that there is no sentiment
among their constituencies In favor or
the Presidents program.
1t appears that while this movement
is not entirely confined TO the South, X
Is being pressed with more vigor there

BEST STREETS
IN THE STATE
THE TWENTY MILE CONTRACT
OF GRANOLTTHIC SIDEWALK
WAS COMPLETED BY THE
CONTRACTORS WEDNESDAY

The sidewalk paving contract, COW
ering over twenty miles of grano-
lithic walk, was completed by the
contractors last Wednesday. This
gives Greenville the honor of having
the best pavements of any city in the
State City Engineer Allen, who has
supervised the construction of the
walks, said he realized that there were
some faulty places in the walks, and
these would all be repaired later, but
on whole the work was good and
would last as long as any walks made
of the same material. Mr.. Allen feels
that his efforts to see that the city
got what they paid for in street and
sidewalk paving will be appreciated
later, when they see by use the last
ing qualities of the work. No per-
sons have taken a deeper interest in
this work than the city's hoonred
mayor and its chief engineer, and it
Is to them largely the thanks OF the
city are due for its up-to-date pave
ment and walks
