Prof. Rector of the University OF
South Carolina has introduced bill
in the legislature requiring that all
county superintendent Of education
shall be college graduates. There is
no objection to them being college
graduates but that by no means is
an evidence of fitness for the pos
ton. Some of the biggest fools in the
country are college graduates. 1t is
not essential to the proper discharge
of the duties and administration of
this office that the incumbrene should
have been a school teacher though
that does not hurt.
We have seen some school teachers
who had very little common sense.
AS superintendent Of education you
need a man who posses common sense
and who has judgment and who can
deal with the public. Of coure he
should be educated but that does not
mean that he should be a college gra-
duate Some of them are very far from

The fact that all of the South Caro-
lima congressman voted against the
suffrage amendment to the federal
constitution does not necessarilu
mean that they are opposed to woman
suffrage. It means that they agree
that it is a matter that should be LETT
to the States, and in that position they
right. Thessame position is the logical
one as to prohibition. Those are
matters that rightly belong to the
States unless it is the purpose to wipe
out al, State sovereignty and all State
lines and let the federal government
run the whole business. But Congress
man Dominick was the only South
Carolina congressman to vote against
the amendment as to liquor,

Congressman Johnson and his pri-

He would not apply for commission
because he has had no military

give his all to his country 1 certainly
ought to back him up and do"

Prof. Rector also wants the State
board of education to pass on the

There has been scarcity of wood

the country there is plenty of timber
out of which fire wood could be made

only way to solve the problem is for

The Gaffney Ledger says that the
gravest problem now confronting the
country is the labor problem. And the
Ledger is about correct. For some
reason it seems almost impossible to
get any labor at thi time to do any

listment in the army or because Of the
emigration Of any great part OF II.

HIGHWAY CHIEF
ON INSPECTION TRIf

Inspection of The PHILADELPHIA turn
pike, which is now being rebuilt b
the State Highway Commission. wa
made yesterday by Charles NJ. Uphau
State Highway Engineer. and severs
other State officials. including Attornel
General David J. Reinhardt The turn
pike from Shellpot to Claymont wa
traversed.
The construction OF the road Is pro
crossing rapidly, considering the pres
ent conditions, and is being done tho.
oughly by the engineers. After its com
pletlon the road will be one OF Tn
finest in this part of the country.
As an indication Of the thOrOughnes
being insisted upon by the highwsi
commission, Mr.. Upham showed th
party The concrete bridge over the lit
Tie stream near ShellpOt Park. Not Onh
is the bridge wider but its appearance
IS also pretty snd OF sufficient strength
to last for years.
Bricks in sufficient quantity have beeJ
brought TO the road, so that the layinl
is now going on with the contracts
having a force OF about 80 men. maxim
progress daily in the vicinity of tn
mouse or William dupont at Bellevue
The bricks are laid upon a concrete bas
and in the center Of the road, the con
crete being a foot in depth and upon il
already dried, there is placed an incl
Of sand and cement. mixed. Upon lhii
dry base the bricks are placed ant
afterward the whole thing is gone Ovg
with hose and made wet and in aboH
a week the base becomes dry and ther
again mixture of cement is sprinklel
over the top, thus making OF the who'll
road a cement reinforced brick. ROAD
construction has advanced 10 such de.
gree that bTicklaying is not finished
now by spraying with hot tar TO keel
the bricks in position.
Grading Of great nature has beer
done already. IL seems that on the Who'll,
turnpike the grade at any place will uc
be more than 6h or Z per cent. That il
when the other heavy
grades are remembered Big gradins
which are now about through
could be seen along the road. looking u
important work they have done.
Mr.. Upham said thst the concrete
mixers have been provided TO give tht
all the concrete they needed
and nc thinks the road for the most part
will be completed before winter comes.
As a matter Of fact nearly a mile OF
the brick road from the Claymont end
IS completed now, and it is as good as
.he other brick road in Marcus Hook,
which was built under Mr.. Uphams
direction about six or more years ago.
Despite the heavy traffic the road has
lad it is in fine shape and Mr.. Upham
predicted that the new brick road nc is
low building Will be much better than
several others constructed recently.
