meet half the cost Of the work and the
county. which had already agreed to
sand clay the stretch, has offered to
put in as much work concreting as II
would have done in sand -claying. II
has been estimated that 1t will cost
about $4,000 additional TO do half the
work and this is being raised. J. NJ.
Cherry and Hamilton Carhartt have
each offered TO contribute $1,000 TO the
work. leaving only $4,000 to be raised.
II is hoped TO have this amount in hand
in Il few days. The concrete roadway
would be l6 feet wide and would be a
model piece OF road. When the new
bridge Is completed and the road
finished the distance between here and
Charlotte will be shortened by about
ten miles. AS this Is the main highway
between Charlotte and Columbia. II is
expected there will be considerable
|autumobile travel over II when finished.

highway improved between the two
Carolina cities and to make II the
principal route In this section for au-
toists travelling from one state into the
other.

work OF classification that this task
can not be put upon them. and yet
the necessities OF the nation require
that II be performed with the great

the teachers Of the various commu-
