.lahxax Office Force Increased.

Highway Office Force Increased.
The fact that AZ out Of the 46 coun-
ties of the state have applied for all
or parts of their allotments OF federal
aid for road or bridge 'bGdlding has
forced the state highwa! commits
sion to expand its engineering forces
both in its office and in the field. Each
new road or bridge project approved
for federal aid by the state highway
commission calls for . large amount
of expert engineering work, both IN
the field and in the office Of the COM
mission, before the United States Sec
retary of agriculture can legally ap-
prove it and cover the funds dollar
for dollar which the counties have
available.
The field work and office work done
by the engineers and craftsmen en-
ployed by the commission is an in.
teresting phases Of its activities. The
public is much more familiar with
the commission as the branch OF the
state government to which automobile
license fees are paid. Unlike high
way commissions in some OF the
other states, the South Carolina COM
mission pays for all engineering
work done on the state highway sys-
tenn in connection with securing fed
eral aid for building roads and bridges.
+ On January 1, 1919, the employees
Of the state highway commission IN

the following: Acting state highway

"The boil weevil is already showing
considerable activity this season in

Owing to the mild winter Mr.. Weevil

"This is the third season OF the

that awakened the world to the reali'
cation Of the character OF the strug.

"A very interesting thing came out
Of that struggle, which seems almost
En- illogical consequence. One Of the
first things that the representatives
of Belgium said to me after the war
began was that they did not want
their neutrality guaranteed. They did
not want any neutrality. They want
ed equality, not because, as I under
stood them, their neutrality was In
secure, but because their neutrality
put them upon a different basis Of &C.
tion from other peoples.

and 1t was for that reason that the
first time that had occasion to speak
Of what the war might accomplish for
Belgium, spoke Of her winning a
place of equality among the nations.
SO, Belgium has, SO to say, once more
come into her own through this deep
valley of suffering through which she
has gone. o,
mot only that, but her cause has
linked the governments Of the civiliz-
ed world together as If instinctively
into a league Of might. They have
put the whole power OF organized
manhood behind this conception OF
Justice which Is common to mankind.
