ROAD BUILDING LARGE TASK
President of National Highways Asso-
citation Tells How a Great Sys-
tenn Can Be Built.

Thanks to the pushful, ~pervasive
motor car, American road building has
got Il move on" at last. There Is ev-
erywherc the cry for roads. The draw
back has been that, as yet, there has
been no co-ordination OF these multi
tudinouS enterprises. The president
OF the National Highways association.
Charles Henry Davis, In Il recent pap
stated that we spent last year $780,
o55,0G7, or more than two-thirds the
total of money expended so far on the
construction Of the Panama canal
FOR road improvements throughout the
country. Mr.. Davis contention is that
good roads, roads that run for thou
sands Of miles through state after
state, are, properly, not the RESPONSE
bility Of the state, but Of the nation.
He would have the federal government
build a system Of national roads join

of h country, rs is tile case with the
national highways of Europe, and, as
history shows, such rs was the essen

FEW SICK At CAMP JACKSON
Epidemic of Measles Being Circum.

staff Of the division, about 200 of these

much to divert the temporarily unfit

INDIVIDUALS AND CORPORATIONS
MUST COOPERATE, SAYS
THE COMMITTEE.
DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA
DoInss and Happenings That Mark thu
Progress Of South Carolina People,
Gathered Around the State Capital.

If there Is cooperation by indiyi-
duals and corporations and no hoard
ing Of coal, and if the people will ex-
ert themselves to lay in supplies Of
wood during good weather, there will
be no fuel famine and no suffering on
account of lack of fuel in South Caro-
lima this winter.
This is the opinion expressed by the
federal commi. >ner and the advis.
DRY committee hich met in Colum-
bia. But thorough cooperation must
be had and every family should exert
itself to lay in a supply Of wood to
take the place of coal.
There met in Columbia B. B.. Cos.
sett, federal fuel commissioner for
South Carolina; II. II. Watkins of An
derson, chairman Of the advisory com
mittee; B.. e. Geer, deputy fuel COM
missioner and member of the advis-
DRY committee for cotton mills; Rus
sell Acres of Darlington, member of
the advisory committee Of distribution
to oil mills; Leland Moore, member Of
advisory committee in charge Of dis
tribution to public utilities. Other
members Of the advisory committee at
the meeting we're: I. G. Strauss,
Sumter; Ivy M. Mauldin, Columbia;
John II. Cope. Bamberg; l.. e. Meikle-
john, Cheraw
The committee reviewed the reports
which have been sent in from the vari.
GUS county, and city committees and
from dealers, as we'll as reports from
cotton mills, oil mills and other indus
tries. These reports had been tabu-
lated in order to present results in
concrete form. The reports were not
complete because Of the failure Of GER
tain dealers to make detailed reports.
However, sufficient information was
had to show the general situation.
From this 1t Is known that the situa.
ton Is still acute and it will take some
time and a great deal Of cooperation
to give full and permanent relief.
1t Is necessary that all consumers
conserve coal and to as great an OK
tent as popossible substitute wood.
However, the situation Is more en-
%couraging than when the committee
met two weeks ago. Coal is moving
into the State more freely than for
merly and is being more systematical-
ly and equitabW distributed SO as to
afford relief. The fuel administrator
thinks that actual suffering will be
prevented provided the people general
ly will show a spirit Of cooperation
The encouraging part Of the situation
is that the administration has assur-
ances from certain jobbers n dis
tributors that they will cooperate to
the utmost to relieve the situation.
Unfortunately certain dealers of the
State have neglected to make out and
send in their reports. Some Of these
dealers seem to think that all that is
necessary is for them to telegraph the
federal fuel commission for a carload
Of coal and it will come. Such will
not do. II II communities suffer
from failure to receive coal the re-
s~ponsibility will be on the dealers in
that community who should have Co
operated with the administration and
sent in prompt reports, so that the ad-
ministration may know how to dis
tribute the coal.
