GREENWOOD EFLoRE COUNTY MISSISSIPPI FRIDAY JULY
THE HUMPHREYS HIGHWAY.

1t being assured that Ledore county
is to have about thirty miles Of the
most up.to-date permanent highway
that can be constructed along lines ap.
proved by the United States Govern.
ment Good Roads Department, and
which has been appropriately desig,
mated by the Department as the Hum,
phreys Highway it is proper that the
public should be advised as to how our
county was so fortunate as to be Sc
lected for the expenditure Of Uncle
Sans bounty to the extent Of $50. 600,
We having been permitted by the
Secretary of the Business League to
view the correspondence. and find the
Genesis Of the proposition to be about as
follows: Soon after MIR. W. H. Hays
became Secretary of the Business
League, he circulated a petition to the
Board Of Supervisors, asking them to
have a survey made for road north
and south and east and west through
the county, with a view Of locating and
building a permanent highway in as
nearly straight lines as possible. This
did not meet with success, but attract
ed the attention of all concerned to the
necessity Of road Improvement.
About September 90 Hon. b. G.
Humphreys wrote to President Hen
derson of the Business League, calling
attention to a recent act Of Congress
appropriating $500, 600 to be appor-
toned equally between the states for
purposes Of making experiments in ma
tionaI aid in the construction of public
roads, stating that the authorities had
about decided to let the Governor Of
the state designate what road in each
state the experiment should be made
upon, at the same time advertising that
the governors had not yet been re-
quested to designate the road.
This letter was referred to the Sec
retary of the League, who immediate
ly got in communication with the Gov
ernor and arranged meeting with him
in Greenwood, which occurred soon af-
ter, at which meeting was present Mr..
Humphreys, a committee from the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen, the
Board Of Supervisors and the Business
League
The Governor stated that so far he

April Is Mr., Hays received a letter
from Mr., Humphreys to the effect that
so many governors had declined to ac,
cept the $40, 600 allotment that the
government had decided to spend the
money in $50. 600 lots instead of $40,
coo lots on roads in states where the
county, state or locality would eXpend
| $lOO. 900.
A mass meeting was then called for
! AgriI 2S Of League members and others
interested, upon which date there was
large and enthusiastic meeting OF
representative property owners and
voters, who We're unanimously in favor
Of making an effort to secure the gov
ernment aid as outlined
A petition to the Board of Supervi-
sors was Immediately prepared and
signed by those present. asking them
to provide a bond issue of 500, 600 to
meet the requirements of the United
States Government in order to secure
the aid of $50, 600 for the road as out
lined above.
This petition was circulated princi.
palIy by the Secretary of the League.
assisted by others outside of Green.
wood, the result being that the Board
of Supervisors at their meeting MAY
5 passed the order giving legal notice
of intention to issue the bonds. The
necessary advertisement was made and
on June 2 there appearing no objection
the bonds were authorized. In the
meantime the Secretary of the League
advised Mr. Humphreys of their action.
On May 7 the Postmaster General
wrote the Governor and Withdrew the
former proposition for $40 600 aid on
the SO miles of road and substituted the
$50, GOO proposition for road to be not
less than 25 miles long, asking him to
make new designation.
On the 9Th of May the Business
League petitioned the Governor, ask
ing him to designate the road from
SheIImond to the Hills via Greenwood,
with tap from Itta Bena, advising
him the action taken by the Board of
Supervisors with reference to the Sl0O,
900 bond issue contingent upon securing
the United States Government aid.
Governor Brewer, a few days later,
being in Greenwood, Secretary Hays,
President McShane and DR.. Henderson
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1913-07-04

had not been advised in the matter by
the authorities at Washington, but that
when he was, in view Of the fact that
Lefore county had made the first ap-
pIication and guaranteed the amount,
$40, 900, required by the United States
Government double the amount ap-
portioned by them, $10 000), he felt
in duty bound to designate any road
our people suggested.
The road suggested was at that time
the road from Greenwood to CarrolIton.
On November rs, 1912, the Governor
advised that he had designated the road
suggested. December Secretary HAYS
50 advised Hon. B. G. Humphreys.
February -, 1913, the Postmaster
General advised Governor Brewer that
his designation of road would have to
be corrected to a road 80 miles long and
over a rural free delivery route, where
upon the Business League, through its
President and Secretary, suggested the
road from Shelmound to Lexington
through Greenwood, which was adopted
by the Governor and so recommended.
March 6 the question of the guarar.
tee Of $40, 900 for the newly designated
road was brought up by Postmaster
General BurIeson in his letter to the
Governor who referred the matter to
the Business League. President Hen
derson wrote the Governor March 10
that it would be necessary to await ac-
ton Of the Board Of Supervisors at
their meeting in April.
In the interim, Hon. G. b. Hum.
phreys paid visit to Greenwood and
suggested that the matter be allowed
to rest for the present, as he knew
that a number Of the states had de-
clned to accept the $4,000 on the
terms offered, and he thought there
was possibility Of securing a much
greater amount for shorter road,
which would result in securing more
money per mile and better results.
Congressman Humphreys wrote the
Business League April that he be.
Iieyed the government would contrib
ute $4,000 for road in Lehore county
from Shellmound via Greenwood to the
Hills, with tap line from Itta Bena, a
total Of not exceeding thirty miles nor
less than twenty-five miles, the road to
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1913-07-04

secured an audience with him and ex-
planned, verbally, how they had Sc
cured the change in the proposition
from $40, 900 to $50, 900, suggesting to
the Governor that only by the action Of
Mr.. Humphreys in soliciting the Post
master General for the larger sum and
the prompt action Of the Board Of Su-
pervsors in meeting the requirements
proposed by the United States Govern
ment, was it made possible to have the
tentative offer of $50, 900 made to the
state; that in view of the facts stated,
it was but justice TO Lehore county and
the Greenwood Business League that
they should reap the fruit of their eff.
forts in which view the Governor coin
cided.
The United States Department Of
Public Roads sent Mr.. Chas. Moore
field, a highway engineer, May q, to
investigate the feasibility Of doing the
work. He reported favorably June
and on June rs the United States Post
office Department announced that the
$50, 900 allotment had been made for the
road named in Lefore county and would
be available when the county puts up
the $l09, 900. We understand the bonds
will be advertised for sale and sold as
quickly as can be legally done.
Much Of the good accomplished is due
to the fact that we have an able and
energetic Congressman in Hon. B. G.
Humphreys, who was instrumental in
pointing the way to secure the results
so much to be desired.
However, brought down to final
analysis, the accomplishment Of this
great achievement is largely due to the
activity Of the Greenwood Business
League, its ex-president, DR.. T. R.
Henderson, President Z. r. McShane
and the continued, persistent and eff
fectiye, though quiet work on the part
Of the most efficient Secretary the
League has ever had, Mr.. W. H. Hays.
This great achievement was accom-
pliShed without permitting a word CON
cerning it to get into the news items of
the papers until completed. The man
ner in which it was handled is worthy
of the highest commendation.
Well done, Mr.. Hays.
