An,lntlscn Patriotic.

New York, March 18.--A call to
Scandinavians, particularly to the
men Of Norway, to rally around the
flag Of the United States was made
here to-day by Capt. Roald Amund.
son, discoverer Of the South Pole,
who spoke at patriotic mass meet
ing in his honor.
Capt. Amundsen told the Scandi-
navians that the murder by Germany
OF Norwegian sailors was a contempt-
ible and tragic disregard of Norway's
neutrality and that they could best
ayenge 1t by employing their skill
and knowledge of shipbuildihg in the
construction of ships for this coun-
try. The first thing to be done, he
said, was to overthrow the submarine
enterprise of the Germans, which
could only be accomplished by build
ing ships.

TREASURER AND AUDITOR
or Oconce Now Have Terms of Four
Years Is Official Opinion.

For some time the question Of
length Of terms for the Offices Of
Treasurer and Auditor Of Oconee has
been discussed, there being those
who held to the belief that the pres
en- term is for two years, but that
future terms would constitute four
year periods. With view to settling
the question definitely, Treasurer r.
II. Alexander and Auditor Dresden
A. Smith recently requested the At
torney General to give his opinion in
the matter. Following is his reply
to these officials: ..
Opinion Of Attorney General.
"State of South Carolina, Office Of
Attorney General, Columbia, S. c.,
March 15, 1918.--To r. II. Alexan-
der, County Treasurer, and Dresden
A. Smith, County Auditor, Walhalla,
S. C.-Dear Sirs: | am in receipt Of
your request to be advised as to the
length Of the terms Of office of the
County Auditor and County Treasu-
rer Of Oconee county, and beg to
advise that an act Of the General AS
sembly, approved February 20, 1917,
makes the terms of the said officers
four years.
The record In the Office of the
Secretary Of State shows that the
Auditor Of Oconee county was COM
missioned March 7th, 1917. and the
Treasurer on March 18th, 1917.
These commissions having been Is
sued subsequent to the passage of
the Act OF February 20th, 1917, there
is no question in my mind but that
the term to which the respective off,
GERS have been appointed Is four
years.
Yours very truly,

On account of the closing of the Phil

1t has been necessary for the State

road, maps recommending detours
One portion of the detour recon-
mended is recognized by the commits
sion to be over such bad road that
further detour at that point. TAKING
motorists two or three miles ont of
their way, is suggested or the man.
the bad stretch of highway in oues-
ton is that portion of Faulk road
Immediately afer it leads off of the
Concord turnpike and running for some
distance. The State Highway man
SHOWS an additional detour at this
point by continuing further on the
Concord turnpike and turning into the
next feeder. The Claymont road is
1uil OF chasms so deep that in some
OF them poles have been sunk to keen
daring automohilists from taking
chances hy trying to run through the
ruts. The Ridge road, a continuation
of the same detour, which is one-third
IN Delaware and the rest in Pennsvl-
Vanla, is in terrible shape, too. The
opinion prevails that the Levy Court
should most certainly find the wav to
repair the Faulk and Claymont roads
SO that they are DassibIe, at least.
pennsylvania authorities should put
the Ridge road in decent shape. In
the meantime another route to and
from Philadelphia, which, while much
longer, is over good roads all the way
and his suggestion is herewith pre-
sented: From Wilmington 90 by way
OF Concord turnpike to the road some
distance this side of ConcordviIle
which Leads through Wawa, Media and
Landsdowne to Philadelphia. It's bet
ter than the Village Green route. But
to take this route means a great long.
detour, of course and while some auto
mobilists have the time to 90 that
way in order to have good roads,
others need to take the shorter route.
For this reason many would like to
see the Levy Court ''get busy with
the nearer roads immediately if not
sooner"
