THE CHARLOTTE ROAD

1t is a pity that the Charlotte road
could not be improved this summer
and made so that travel would be
possible during the winter. For
some reason, nobody seems interest.

lotte end or at this, and with the ex-
ception OF about ten miles in Lancas.
ter county. which has been top-soiled
the road will be no better this winter
than last
Here, one of the most important
roads north and south is permitted TO
become impossible for two or three
months each winter, and, while it
may possibly be wild statement we
believe it conservative to say that
enough money was paid out last win
ter TO pull cars out of mud-hole and
for repairs made necessary by the
condition of the road to top-soil it in
the worst places.
Perhaps the reason for the luke
warm interest in this road is because
it leads from one state to another.
and the selfishness OF each prevents
one doing anything that will be of
benefit to the other. Charlotte has a
commercial interest in this road; in
that portion OF il which lies in Lam
caster county, Lancaster town has a
commercial interest But aside from
these very small considerations the
people who live along the road and
the people at large who use it. have
an interest, and because of its import
ance as north and south highway.

News and Courier sees 1t differently.
Speaking of the development in the
different counties. it says: "But the
public in general continues strangely
indifferent to the necessity which ex-
lists for establishing in this State a
real system of State highways. The
very progress that has been made by
various counties acting as units has
tended to still the agitation for the
larger development already urgently
required and the Importance of which
will be borne in upon us increasingly
as time goes on.
The development of a State high
way System and the development OF
county highways are part OF the
same problem but each presents sep
arate phases which must be handled
individually. 1t was hoped that a Wig

be conducted this summer and fall
for the enlightenment of all the peo-
pie as to the broad benefits which
would flow from creating high
way system in South Carolina which
III time would serve to organize this
State as it has never before been or
ganized and to open up its resources
and unite its people as must other
wise remain impossible"

FOOD SALE CALLED OFF,
Says the Charlotte Observer:

Says the Charlotte Observer:
Are the people really very mucn
interested in reducing the high cost
OF living, especially the prices Of
foods' Why. certainly. But the poor
response TO the Governments offer
to sell surplus Army foodstufs
through parcels post at prices consid-
erably lower than those prevailing for
the same goods in the open market
would not indicate that they are so
very anxious to put themselves to
any trouble to secure lower prices
As a result of their Indifference the
Government has withdrawn the sale
through parcels post. Not more
than 10 per cent of the supplies was
taken"
Uncle Sam, as a community grocer
did not make a kowling success. Per-
maps the failure is due not so much
to the indifference OF the people as
to the method of dealing AS we under
stand 1t. the first act in buying gro
Ceries from the government was to
put up the money. the next was to
wait until the groceries came. In
some instances the supply was ex-
hausted and orders could not be filed
AMI in such instances the government
will return the money!
There was considerable saving i'm

prevailing on retail markets. but the
people don't like to do business that

BILLIONS FOR ROADS.

takes note of local progress in some
way development and says: The
New Orleans Times Picayune esti-I
mates that at least a billion dollars
will be spent in the United States dur
ing the next two or three years inI
the construction of highways. Some
of this money is to be used lagely for
purposes of adornment, as i'll Michi-I
gan. where out of 10000. 900 reCent-l
ly appropriated for roads provision isl
made for lining the highways with
fruit and nut trees. Since the first
of the year upwards of a third of the
States OF the Union have taken steps
to raise funds for beginning or con
tinuing State highway systems. They!
have figured out that the returns i'm
one way or another. lin reducing the
cost OF transportation. in increasing
the production of the country. cheap
ening food and all other products. in
reducing time, in economic develop
ment and progress. in assuring closer
and better relations between the sew
eral sections and cities" will make
the money which they are spending
on roads the best investment that
could be made out OF the state treas /,
ury."
The proposition which was sub |
mitted to the last session Of the
general assembly was designed toi
provide a state system OF highways /
The general assembly. however. was
not bi" enough for such project and
refused to do anything. Left on their
own resources, several counties have
shown determination to have good
roads regardless of whether the state,
as whole, ever takes any action i'm
that direction. OF course, whenever
a state system is adopted. these coun-I
ties which are going ahead with
rold-building programs will be just
that much ahead of the counties
which are not. and their roads will
become part of the great system.

Fulton in less than a round at Har-
rison, N. J.. last fall. And he is in
better condition considered from every
standpoint. The fact that he has
been able to put on weight while go
ing thru such gruelling training as he
has tackled since starting in on the
long grind for the Willard battle
speaks volumes for his ability and the
folks hereabouts were not slow to
realize it.
When the two heavies meet on July
there will be about forty pounds
difference in their weights, provided
reports from Wizards camp can be
taken at their face value. This is
about the same margin that existed
when Tom Sharkey and Jim Jeffries
met in their memorable scrap at
Coney Island. and Sharkey. tho the
smaller of the two, was able to pre-
sent such an argument to the cham
pion rJeffries that many witnesses of
the affair claim TO this day that Shar-
key should have been awarded the
decision.
Dempsey Will Be There.
There need be no fear regarding the
this most startling thing. He will be
there. His general condition could
not be better than it is right now and
that he is not drawing himself too fine
for the big effort is proved by the 81
lent testimony of the sea les.
Little less surprising was the ease
which Joe Chip. the Pennsylvania
niddleweight. was able to pound Will
lard's chin during his first experience
as a sparring mate for the big cham
pion. OF course too much stress must
not be laid on this fact, for Willard
was doing little leading himself. He
was contented to be on the receiving
end of the punches, combining his eff
forts to blocking. But Chip was at
him with such speed that the champ
could not protect himself from the
snappy overland wallops and fast
short arm smashes the smaller man
directed at him.

more power. If Chip had no trouble
in reaching Willard's vital points, it is
a. cinch that neither will Dempsey un-
less Wizards forecasted aggressive
ness fights Dempsey off his feet into
a defensive position of his own.
Willard announce himself years
ago as a ->ol, calm man in the ring,
one who is willing to wait many min
utes for an antagonist to carry the
fight to him. He has even indicated
that he will play this kind of a game
with Dempsey, altho the purpose of
such conversation may be for effect
only. If Chips appearance yesterday
is any thing to go by. however, Jess
will have little luck from making such
a fight.
Still Keeps Gloves Off.
1t is disappointing that Dempsey is
forced to take so much time for his
eye to heal sufficiently so he can re-
sumo his daily boxing. 1t would be in
teresting to compare boxing ex-
hibitions by the two men, now that
Willard is beginning to realize the
need of speed in his work and is pro-
viding himself with boxing partners
who can supply it.
There was a lot of st knew him

reminiscent of the days in Reno when
Jim Jeffries was trying so hard to get
himself in condition for his battle
with Jack Johnson. Outwardly it will
be recalled, Jeff was in the best of
shape but his internal spots were
wrecked and could not be repaired.
1t is not probable that Willard is in
this kind of shape, but it is obvious
that he is not making an open door
policy of his training. 1t leaked out
today that he has been keeping away
from road work in the heat, but
Dempsey has been taking his daily
grind.
