WHY OVERLOOK FEDERAL AID?

Lancaster county is not included
in the list of counties making ap-
plication for federal aid in the con-
struction of roads. Many counties
throughout the state have already
taken advantage Of the federal ap-
preparation and have made prepara-
tions to meet the provisions by which
the government furnishes dollar
for every dollar put up by the coun-
ties. The counties, as The News un-
derstands the proposition, do not
necessarily have to put up it's part
in money, but its equivalent in con-
vict labor, material. etc. Some
money, of course. would have to be
appropriated. but not all. The
News is not informed as to the
amount available for this county 1t
is based upon the mileage of roads,
but every thousand dollars that is
spent in permanent road construc-
ton counts for that much toward a
system of good roads, and this op-
portunity should by no means be
overlooked.
The roads hereabouts. as The
News has remarked on several oc-
casions. compare favorably with
those of any section OF the state,
where dirt roads are the rule rather
than the exception. Doubtless they
are better than many sections. but.
even though they were the best in
the state, there would be no justifi-
cation in that for delaying further
improvements and new construction.
And to fail to avail of the opportu-
nifty to secure the federal apportion-
ment is to lose not only the amount
that might be secured from the gov
ernment for the roads, but double
that amount.
According to the apportionment
for other counties, twenty to twenty
five thousand dollars would be avail
able for Lancaster county on the
proviso that like sum be raised by
l,h .,,l l.; t..
nifty too good to miss.

himself useful to the administration.
which he is loyalty and patriotically
backing. For the next two years he
can be of more value in Washington
than new man. 1t would be a
hardship on all concerned IL he
should be compelled to leave his work
and come back to his district to fight
a political campaign.
We hope this will not be neces.
sary. 1t would be fine thing IL
those who hear the buzzing of the
congressional bee in their bonnets in
the fifth congressional district. would

sponses and the criticism that in
evitably followed, it was indeed sell
dom that his stand was upon other
than solid ground, and gradually
this fact began to tell in the signs of
open admiration on the part of his
Republican colleagues.
y characteristic Tillman note
rings in that part of his announce
ment which declares that he would
feel like a deserter if he abandoned
his duties in Washington now. The
will of his people may force him to
yield his place to another man, for
two men already are in the field
against him and a third is strongly
tempted; but the old war horse is
not quitting. and for that he will
gain yet other friends among the
people of his country.

doubly unfortunate to lose both his
services and those of Senator Till
man. Well-posted men who follow
closely the dial OF the political
clock see no possibility of the hands
ever pointing to either of the three
announced candidates who oppose
Senator Tillman: in fact, counting
Mr.. Lever as fifth entry into the
senatorial arena, they see little pos
sibility of the defeat OF the senior
senator, and though, were it foreseen
with degree of certainty that Mr..
Lever would be defeated and Sena-
tor Tillman reelected, the friends
of the latter, and the people of the
state generslly would have cause for
regret in Nj. Lever becoming a can
didate by reason of the sacrifice of
his usefulness in the position he now
occupies. which would be sacrificed
either in event of his election or
that of his defeat.
Mr.. Lever represents the seventh
South Carolina congressional dis
.trict, composed of Calhoun Lee,
Lexington, Orangeburg, Richland and
Sumter counties. He was member
Of the state legislature from Lexing-
ton county for several terms before
being elected to congress. and has
been reelected to congress each sue
ceeding term since that time.

columbia Record.)

The State Council of Defense has
made wise selection in getting the
services of Rev. Hugh II. Murchison
for field secretary. Mr.. Murchison
was pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Lancaster and he devoted
great deal of his time and energy
to organizing the work of the coun-
Gil of defense in that county. His
methods and his success command
the attention of the State council,
and the executive committee arrang-
ed with him to give up his pastorate
and go into the field for the broader
work.
In formally accepting the commits
sion, Mr.. Murchison Thursday made
brief statement to the State coun-
ell which touched the members very
deeply and made them proud of the
character OF the man who will repre-
sent this big work and the members
feel sure that not only has Mr.. Muir
Gibson the ability and the enthusi-
asm, but he has way of putting
things that will arouse the people
OF the State TO the necessity OF meet
ing all questions promptly and re-
sponsively.
This work sought Mr.. Murchison
for ii required a man OF force and
