noon today, the occasion being
the swearing In Of Judge Ira b.

cult Judge ID. 4 Hydrick of Spar
tanburg to take Justice jones'
place as associate justice, and of
Solicitor Thomas 5. Sease of

OF the seventh circuit in place of
Judge Hydrlck. State Senator

cordance with elections which
took place in the last legislature,
Chief Justice Pope having re,
signed, effective today, on ac-
count of failing health.
None of the other members of

row and at which he Is to preside.
The ceremony was very simple.
First, Judge Hydrick swore in
Judge Jones as chief justice, then
the new chief justice returned

ton the matter demands and we
feel sure that everything will
work out all right. We have al
ways been somewhat opposed to
the county going into the road
working. We believe the ci,i-
zens of the county should work
their roads under the contract
system. l have worked II miles
of road at cost to the county of
a fraction over an average OF $S5
per mile. do not believe that
any county squad would have
worked it Tor less, and am inclined
to think it would have cost much
more. | cannot see why the
convicts of our county could not
at this lime be profitably worked
on our roads, taking the price of
labor into consideration with the
wages we are getting from the
hire of these convicts in other
counties. | think that it would

the people have been asking for
for years, and now that we have
the matter in hand, let us give

success. We must keep in mind
that our roads at the time this
law was put into operation were
almost impassable, and as a mat

with want of experience in road

Mr.. Editor: Since l have Quit

been given. And l am very
grateful to all of them for such
expressions.
am of the opinion that the
specifications. gotten up by the
County Board are too high and
require more work than the
amount of money available will
warrant. In fact, if a contrac.
tor is required to work sections
strictly up to the specifications
he will times out of 5 come
outsin debt. This is one of the
closest problems connected with
the road working-t6adjust this

There should not be any arbi.
