Calhoun has certainly set a pace
for many counties in the State in the
matter of good raods. An automo-

ed were concerned Especially was
this true of the road from st. Mat
thews to the Lexington county line.
This is a beautiful stretch of high
way, being wide and graded proper
ly, and clayed. Many counties in the
State could and should follow the
example of Calhoun.
