BUILT FROM MT. PLEASANT
CONTRACT FOR 31l MILES LET TO
HOOVER G. MASON-GRAVEL-
ED SURFACE.

One of the best roads in the coun-
ty is being constructed from Mt Pleas
ant to SCOTS Mill, distance of about
three and q half miles under the SUI
perviSon Of the road engineer OF the
Hoover & Mason phosphate company
to whom the contract has been given
by the district road commissioner G.

ed over to the engineer funds and COM
mutation for his district amounting to
about $500 and the road is being put
into splendid condition at this cost.
/ MI. Alexander, who has been road
commissioner for a number of years in
the Seventh district, stated this morn
ing that this is the best piece of work
that has been done in his district and
that he feels that the money is be-
ing well spent. In addition to the reg
ular revenue for the roads his district
he received special appropriation OF
1925 from the special highway funds.
Hoover G. Mason were permitted to
work out the communication of their
hands, amounting to about 1925.
The road has been accurately grad
ed by the engineer and is being sur
faced with creek gravel.
Mr.. Alexander is an advocate of
river or creek gravel for the roads OF
Maury county, believing that this ma
torial will stand heavy automobile
traffic better than any other kind The
Mt. Pleasant and SCOTS Mill road had
a limestone foundation but it had be-
come very rough. The gravel is being
placed on the rock and firmly rolled.
Il will be in excellent condition when
completed.

CARLTON FRY, The
VETERAN AUTO BUG
TALKS OF FUTURE
PREDICTS THAT THERE WILL BE
A SHORTAGE OF CARS BY
JUNE THE FIRST.
SETS FORTH HIS REASONS
Last Year at This Time His House
Had Sixty-Five UnsoId Automobiles
in the Garage--PracticalIy None
This Year.

Carlton, Barney" Fry, Of the firm
Of Fry Brothers, the veteran automo-
bile dealers in Columbia, talks inter-
estingly of the future OF the automo-
bile for 1918. Mr. Fry says that there
is bound to be shortage Of automo-
biles this year and especially fer
spring deliveries, and he bases his
statements upon the facts in tae case.
In talking to 4 Herald reporter late
Friday afternoon Barney had the fol-
lowing to say: #or e
81 can't see anything but a short
age il the automobile supply this year
and especially fer the spring deliver
les. The shortage | take it is not only
goinG to be a mere shortage, but a Sc
rlous shortage. Last year at this time
we had siXty-llve unsold cars in our
garage and in storage, this year you
might say, we practically have none,
and are doin, all in our power to get
q few cars coming this way from the
factories.
AS I said We had siyty-five cars un-
sold at The first Of February but by
April The first we had sold and deliver
ed all of these cars and nad on file or
dcrs for sixty-Gye more. A great ma
iority OF these orders were fer Fords,
and | want to tell you that now | have
some of those orders for Fords still on
file, but am filling them just as fast
as | can in the order in which they
were received. We expect to begin
delivering Fcrds next week, and hope
to have all Of these orders filed by tae
middle Of February.
81 am going to do my best to get all
the cars | can for This section and if
noed be viii place a man at the fac
tory to direct shipments this way.
"You ask me why the shortage?
Wen have summed it up thusly. This
las been an unusually mild winter
and the cars that are usually manufac-
tured during the winter months are
shipped South, but owing to the fact
that here has been no real winter in
the cast and north, the cars lave been
nabbed up right at home just as fast
as the factories could manufacture
them, and as the manufacturers had
to make considerable changes from
war work, the manufacture of ma
chimes was not really in excess of the
demands at home, and will scarcely.be
before the middle of the summer.
"This is not only so with the cars
that we handle, but with practically
all of the automobiles manufactured
in this country. | look for heavier
shortage in 1919 than there was in
1918, from the simple fact that there
are more people wanting cars now,
since the war has ceased"

The doors Of Dennis's car were
opened and shut with about onc-min-
ute interval. But in that time one
hundred and fifty people had crushed
themselves in.
A number OF the people did funny
things In trying to climb in, especially
the fat men. And some pretty Ste
nographers with tight skirts tried to
take two steps at once, but Dennis
neither smiled nor looked.
1t was day on which he might have
been drunk with power. Perhaps half
million people wanted to get home
on the Third Avenue line, because thew
wanted to get home in the worst way.
This last phrase is the vernacular. It
Is not descriptive. Motormen who
commanded and guided the popular
links to home had the power of sup

cause OF the unusual conditions, the
rules Of the road were not operative.

passed from sight. The next crowded
corner was at Chatham Square, where
the girls from the East Broadway and
Division Street shops were waiting
They are we'll paid now and dress
fashionably. Their smiles are things
to be smiled back at.
In chorus, the lips parted, their
eyes shone in welcome of Dennis and
recognition of his power. They would
delay him, their smiles said. for just
a monf9n then he could go on, and
with them. Wouldn't he please stop,
for ever SO little? Dennis looked at

bones covered with calloused skin at
ell visible joints, but yet he was soul
full and pensive.
When his car was filed with the
surviving fittest the conductor rang
twice and Dennis cuffed the controller
into the first notch and the car moved
up town.
Under Brooklyn Bridge a crowd Of
some two hundred waited. also most
~ girls. They were excited and eager.
They smiled alluringly at Dennis like

The only person in New York who
