No More Experiments, Please

Not more experimenting, but less, is what FL Paso
county needs with reference to road building. The
Herald is unable go with those taxpayers who are
quoted desiring bond issue of $4,000 to $4,000
for experimental purposes The Herald maintains that
the standard concrete road is the only road worth
considering in future for this district; and it feels
that the worth and wisdom Of concrete roads have
been amply demonstrated over the country. We are
taking risk in building them, provided adopt
standard specifications and to It that the con-
tractors abide by them.
FL Paso county has spent several million dollars
roads during its existence and today have
strip five miles long that be taken standard
road for this section. That is sad record. The mil
lions have been spent in experimenting partly and in
upkeep maintenance rebuilding and resurfacng of
suitable roads. There is no sense going on this
way FL Paso county ought to be able to profit by all
the investigations and experiments that have been made
elsewhere well here.
Of course extensive road building program should
be undertaken without thorough investigation study,
and expert advice Presumably this is the intention
Of the commissioners court. But the other hand
II seems to The Herald that the choice Of the kind
of road which is to be adopted the permanent road
Of this county Is matter upon which the whole body
Of taxpayers has the right and the duty to express
itself The discussion is good thing. But The Herald
would oppose any experiments with any form Of
maeadam bituminous road for the more costly per
manent highways
California alone has laid more than 100000 yards
Of concrete roadway. Our total contract would be
from 100000 to $4,000 yards. There is ample in
formation available from almost every state

WORK AT CLEMSON COLLEGE.
The COnteStS-S. &. StribIin1 Wins
First Place as Debatcr.

Clemson College, March l. Spe-
cial: AT meeting of the executive
committee in Greenville last Satur-
day, the contract for the erection Of
the new Y. NJ. G.. A. building was let
to Thos. B. Cochran, of that city. He
holds an enviable reputation as a
most successful contractor, and, to-
gether with the fact that he is a
Clemson graduate, we confidently be-
lieVe that the new building will be
up-to-date in every particular and
hope it's completion may benefit the
Clemson students next year.
The designs and plans Of the build
ing were made by Prof. Lee, another
Clemson graduate, after carefully
studying the newest buildings of this
nature throughout the South. The
plans were approved by the Rookie
feller Commission. Besides the
swimming pool, bowling alleys, etc.
in the basement, provision has been
made for reading rooms. Bible
study class rooms, literary society
halls and quarters for the general
secretary OF the local Y. NJ. G. A.
Ground has already been broken
for the erection Of this building, and
doubtless the work will begin in the
near future.
The anual celebration Of the Pal
metto Literary Society was held in
the chapel Saturday night. Three
medals were awarded-one to the
best orator, one to the best debater
and one to the best declaimer. Pre-
liminary contests were held and only
two men tried for each medal. S.
Stribling, Of Richland, was successful
in the debate, NJ. A. Smith as orator,
and w. d. Tallavast in defamation.
The Judges for the evening were Mr..

"Whitc Mountain Boy"

The "White Mountain Boy" was
greeted by full house at the Blue
Ridge school building on Friday
night last. This snappy, swift-mov-
ing little drama was presented solely
by the pupils of the upper grades.
and to say that each character was
well sustained is not saying enough
Of the ability shown by these talented
young ladies and gentlemen. The
play was a decided success, and only
unstinted praise of it's presentation
is being heard. Following the play
a commute concert kept the audi
ence holding its sides and gasping for
breath in an uproarious gale of mer-
riment. A very enjoyable part Of
the entertainment was the excellent
music given by the Messrs. and
Misses Hesse, of Coneross. The neat
little sum of $3S.70 was realized by
the school. This money will be used
10 enhance the value Of the school
property.
