PULL DOWN OR BUILD UPi

The editor of the Spartanburg Her
nld has been Illuminating on the ef-
forts of some people to tear down
rather than to build up, and he has
the following very we'll thought out
arguments to present as to why one
should not attempt to pull down the
efforts Of those who are trying to build
up:
II has been said several times re-
Gently in our presence that there is
developing as characteristic OF the
people Of Spartanburg dispos .tion
to pull down rather than to build up.
This is APPLIED not TO our material
progress, but to the community atti-
tude toward individuals. Lack of 10y

add that IL Is growing into commune

In which The people OF the city hfsfe

CITY BOND ISSUE CERTAIN.

That the bond Issue will carry in the
city on the 10th inst, is foregone
conclusion. and IL those who know
anything about the views of those reg
istering. II is all over but the shouting.
We feel sure that those interested
enough to register, will maintain that
interest till they have deposited their
ballot in the election box on Inc day
of the election. Many an election has
been lost because of indifference, and
we trust that there shall be none of
this In Anderson. 1t is a good rule,
also not to count your chickens be-
fore they are hatched, and the votes
for the tond issue will not count till
they are voted and counted. The In
telligencer urges every holder of a
certificate not to forget the Gay and
not to put or voting.

INTERESTING SERVICE
YESTERDAY AFTER00N


An excellent program was enjoyed
by those who attended the service
held at the Baptist church yester-
day afternoon. in connection with the
week of prayer being observed by
the ladies OF the missionary society.
Mrs. G. s.. Minor led this meeting
on "Cuba and the Canal Zone" Cuba
long dominated by Spain has been
under Catholic influence and the
people are in the grip OF ignorance,
superstition, and vice. Southern
Baptists have been fortunate in se-
curing good stronghold there and
the work is advancing under the wise
leadership of superintendent Mccall. !.
The Canal Zone Is now q strategic
point and the needs of this field were
laid upon the hearts OF the women.
A great treat is In store for those
who attend the closing meeting this
afternoon Three vital problems OF
home mission work will be presented: !:
the negroeg. the immigration and the
Indians. The girls of the church Y.

THIS PRACTICE SHOULD STOP.

We do not know the new Federal
Judge, Hon. Joseph T. Johnson. and
he doubtless is man well fitted for
the position to which he has been
selected. But we do not approve of
the practice OF creating positions and
filling them from the creating power.
There has been entirely too much of
this kind of thing In South Carolina
politics. and there should be a stop
put to. 1t. 1t is not right for positions
to be cfeated and then flied by those
creating the position from their own
number. Had there been NO attorney
in the district capable of filling the
position but Mr.. Johnson, then we
would have nothing to say. But he
has been honored as few men have
been and had been elevated to the
high position of congressman, not for
the purpose OF having himself elected
to judgeship, for which he has been
working several terms Of congress, we
understand, but he was elected to rep
resent mis- district In congress. He
should have stuck to his Job till re-
tired by the people who put him there.
or till his term was out and he vol
UNFAIRLY retired. 1t would be well for
there to be some iron clad laws pre-
venting just this thing whether or
not It be attempted in the State or in
the nation.

Road Commissioners Provided in Act:

tenn OF primary State roads of 5000
miles and about 80, 900 miles of coun-
ty roads. She has neither made direct
appropriation nor issued bonds for
road work. but at the time of her ad-
mission he union by congressional
grant. bL 70 acres of land became
public property, the proceeds OF which
were to be used in internal improve
ments. and the income from the sale
and rental of these lands Is being ex-
pended by the State highways COM
missioner for permanent road i'm
proyenhent. BY a State aid plan she
contributed to each county an amount
equal TO that expended by the county
on what are classed secondary
roads," primary roads being a part of
the 5000 miles State highway system
and first to be improved.
The highway department Is in
charge Of State highway commits
sioner and an advisory board, or com
mission, of five members, one from
each Of five districts of the State. The
quite usual specifications, rules and
regulations as to authority over pub
lie roads Is in effect. There is an
automobile and motorcycle license fee
based upon horsepower, running from
minimum $3.50 up. The commits
sioner receives an annual compensa-
tion of $4,000 and serves for four
years. The secretary of the advisory
board must be a civil engineer and
receives $4,000. The advisory board
receive no compensation, except trav-
cling and other expense while attend
ing to duties of Office. Better results
might be expected, however, should
the board be paid per diem and ex-
pense. The State expended about
100000 in 1913 for road improve
ment.
In the "Old DOminfon.o
The Old Dominion State, by .legisla-
tive appropriation from the general
funds. sets aside approximately half
million dollars annually for the
construction of public highways. The
roads are built on a county aid plan,
whereby the county Is required to
cxpend an amount equal to that con-
tributed by the State. Convicts are
worked on the roads and $145,000 per
annum is appropriated for the main
tenance of the State convict board
force. Sixty thousand dollars per
year Is required TO maintain the Vir-
ginia State highway department, at
the head OF which is State high
way commissioner, appointed by the
governor for a six-year term. The
remaining three members of the COM
mission are deans of the engineering
departments OF the University Of Vir-
ginia, Virginia Military Institute and
Virginia A. & M. College.
Their highway department was or
ganized IN 1906. Since that time the
State has paid 'one-half the expense OF
construction OF 2,916 miles of hard
surface road and ITO bridges. or
this S55 miles OF read and 80 bridges
have been built during 1914 The
Sts.e receives from a license tax on
automobiles. about $115,000 per an
mum, which now goes into construc-
ton work. but which is to be shortly
set aside for maintenance work.

version of tbe same play did, and this
without depending on action to carry

very little acticu in the entire four

this Is the important things after all ;.

is In the interplay OF characters upon
