tai, 40.
AS an instance Of the demands made
on the engineering forces of the State
Highway Commission by each road or
b:idge project it approves for construc
tion with federal aid, the story of the
work on project No. 8, in Newberry
County, being the road between Lit
tie Mountain and Prosperity, is typi-
cal.
The application for federal aid on
project No. 0 came to the State High
way Commission in the prescribed
form of resolution signed by j. G..
Sample, chairman; S. J. Cromer and
L. c. Livingston, members Of the
board Of county commissioners for
Ncwbcrry County. This resolution de-
signatcd the stretch Of road to be con
Structed with federal aid and stated
that the board of commissioners had
aIailablc sufficient funds to cover the
federal money spent on the project
dollar for dollar.
Newberry County Project.
AS soon aS possible after this reSO-
luton was received the State High
way Commission sent party Of en-
gincers to Ncwbcrry County to make
| the necessary surveys. The party
was composed of a transitman, q level
man and one rodman; necessary as
sistants were provided by the board Of
county commissioners. On project No.
9this engineering party ran 5.63
miles Of transit lines, 5.63 miles of

federal aid is secured. All plans must
be approved by three groups of en-
gineers, and although this seems a
superabundance, it acords series of
splendid checks, which enable the
counties in South Carolina to get the
best for the money they spend on high
ways in connection with the money
provided by the federal government.

A tale is being told on the streets
today, of a farmer on the South Side
who boosted harvest wages in order
to get a crew. He got results al
right, and has the men, but the story
goes on to say that he also got other
things that he hadn't bargined for.
According to the story, one South
Side farmer had hired his harvest
crew, and a neighbor went to the
men, offered them more money and
hired them and took them home.
The men had left their grips and ex-
ira clothing at the home of Farmer
No. 1, and when the second farmer
went after them he got the clothes
and sound trouncing thrown in for
good measure. Not being ac-
quainted with all the facts of the
case, the reporter is not passing judg-
ment on the occurrence but if the
facts are in line with the story re-
lated he deserved the beating.
Boosting wages and taking another
mans harvest crew just about the
time he is ready to go to work is not
universally recognized as being a
neighborly proceeding.-Great Bend
Tribune.

A farmer who was in town Satur-
day had a pair Of new shoes under
his arm, says the Fort Scott Tribune.
He said he had brought in a COW hide
and had TO add two dollars to the
amount the hide brought him to pay
for the shoes.

BOY SHOOTS AND
KILLS SISTER AT EVA


While the parents were in the field
yesterday afternoon, the three
youngsters Of Mr.. and Mrs. W. NJ
Wright Of Eva, were amusing them
selves in the house. Having run out
Of all other forms Of amusement, the
elder boy, Scotty, a child, Of nine
suggested they play at hunting rab-
bits. OF course a gun was needed in
the play, and not knowing it was
loaded, the boy took his fathers shot
gun and pointed it at his Tyr old sis
ter, Virgie. He pulled the trigger,
and being at such close range, it blew
the top of the child's head COM
pletely off. The grandfather, Scott
Hargrove, and Mr.. Potwin, were in
town last evening to make arrange
ments for the funeral which will be
held at Baker today, interment being
in the local cemetery. Another lit
tie girl or two was in the same room
and it Is a miracle that she was out
Of range Of the gun. This is indeed
a sad affair and all parents will SYM
pathize with Mr.. and Mrs. Wright in
the loss Of their child. 1t is only
another lesson to all people to never,
under any circumstances, leave fire
arms loaded or within reach of
children. The chances are too great.
