To Beautity Public Roads.

Mr.: w. A. Garland is chairman
of the Board of Trade Commit
tee which will endeayor to have
property owners plant trees along
the differant public roads of Hen

your road, your property, and en-
hance the value of your land all

county roads would be transform
ed into places of beauty in less
than five years, making them
more attractive to visitors and
increasing the value of adjoining
property.

Nj. f. v. DuEant.

Mr.. E. w. Durant, who will
undoubtedly be the next Collector
of the Port of Charleston, has
one of the most beautiful homes
in Flat Rock, which is noted for
it's fine country places, where he
spends large portion of each
year.
The Charleston News and OBJ
server remarks:
1t appears that E. w. Durant,
Jr., is to be DR.. Crum's success
sor as collector of the port of
Charleston. Naturally every one
thirsts for information about
him. We would call up Deacon
Hemphill by long-distance phone
if Necessary, but he has already
hastened forward with the goods.
Collector Durant is a Minneso-
tan who came to Charleston Z
years ago. He is vice president
of one of the largest lumber con-
Germs in the South, and connect
ed with many other leading
Charleston industries. He has
caught the true spirit of the
community" On every posi-
BILE occasion he uses Deacon
Hemphill's favorite shibboleth-
There is no place like Charles
ton;" thereby endearing himself
to every one, but espe cially to
the Deacon. The son of "a
mighty fine old gentleman" who
was Democrat before 1896, he
himself has always been Re-
publican.
And this from the Charleston
News and Courier:
IF all Mr.. Taft's appoint
ments ''in the South come up to
the Durant sample, the people of
this part of the country could not
ask for anything better" He is
honest, he is capable, he is faith
full to the Constitution, the three
tests which were laid down by
Mr.. Jefferson as the only safe
rule by which public officers
should be judged. He is a~lve-
ly engaged in business pursuits,
has made large Investments of
his own money in this town and
State, is a hard and intelligent
worker for the commercial devel-
onment of the town.
