Appalachian Highway.

| The LaurcnS Advertiser in a recent
issue, seemed to be under the impress
sion that the building Of the Appa-
lachian highway via Whitmire, Glenn
Spring and Spartanburg would mean
that 1T would divert travel away from
lachian highway the main road to the
mountains. That is not what We un-
derstand by the building OF this road.
There is now a good road from Spar
tanburg and ono from Greenyille to
flcndcrsOnvillc. The building OF the
Appalachian highway would only make
two roads from the low country to tho
mountains and the traveller could then
take his choice, or journey by ono go
ing and the other returning.
Tho building Of this road does not
III the least Interfere with the Pied
mont highway, except that it will Gre
ate rival and the one that is best
Kept will induce the travel. In fact,
II the traveller desired to take the
Spartanburg route to the mountains
he could go via Laurens and from
there to Spartanburg, but the Laurens-
Spartanburg road needs very much at
tention to make 1t attractive to the
traveller
We desire to soc tho Piedmont high
way kept in frst-class condition, and
we want to see the Appalachian high
way built also, and then it will be up
to the two routes to induce the travel
their way by keeping the road in good
condition. \ little rivalry and a lit
tic competition are good things to
llavc around. Let US build both roads
and then let Laurens put tho Spar
tanburg road In good condition and in
vito tho tourist that way.
The people along the Newberry way
of the Appalachian highway mean bus
mess and expect and have determined
to have one of the best roads in the
State. We are expecting Union and
Spartanburg to look after their end
OF 1t.
Work will commence on the New
berry end on the 18th.

nese flag Just before making q daring
raid at Penang.
II was recalled IN naval circles here
today that when Captain Glass, com
manding the cruiser Charleston on HIS
way to the Philippines with convoy OF
troops. stopped and captured Guam, he
ordered the Japanese flag to be flown
on his flagship and on the ships Of this
flotills. He signalled this message tc
