FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS.
The AppOrtionment to Newberry
Based OH the County Putting Up
Dollar for Dollar Put Up By
the Government

Columbia, March 24.-Newberry
! county apportionment OF Federal
! money for building roads amounts
to $67,226.0S. Under present condi'
tions, this money will become avail
| able when Newberry county covers
! it dollar for dollar. When this is
done, the county will have for road
building the sum of s134,452.16, which
it can use on projects approved "
!; the Secretary of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
With it's apportionment of federal
funds plus the funds which it must
provide before the federal money is
available, Newberry county can build
about 6.1 miles of concrete road OF
about 1874 miles of top-soil or sand
clay road. These figures on mileage
are based on the assumption that
grading, culverts, etc., will cost S2,O0O
per mile; top-soil or sandclay SUI
facing Will cost $1,000 per mile; and
concrete surfacing will cost $4,000
per mile. These estimates are basel
on averages and will not hold good
for all cases. Therefore, the figures
on mileage stated above are approx
imat.ons only and are given for pur'
poses of comparison.
The above named types of roads
are used because they are typical
1t is not meant that federal aid will
be given to building only these types
or that only these three types are
recommended.
Newberry county's apport{onment
of federal funds for road building
does not include the funds from this
source which can be had for bridge
building. The State highway com
mission low has at it's disposal fcr
building bridges enough money tc
build practically all the important
bridges needed in the State. This
money will be available when the
county or counties served by the
bridges cover it dollar for dollar and
the secretary of the department o,
agriculture approves the project.

The Record,

The Record
A change of considerable interest
has taken place in the State depart
ment of education, with regard to the
Offices of chief clerk and supervisor
of mill schools. w. A. Shealy, until
recently clerk in the office, has as
sumed the duties of mill school in
spector. and he is to be succeeded in
the office of chief clerk by Profes-
sor E. D. Easterling formerly of the
mathematics department of the .Uni-
yersity of South Carolina. Mr.. Shea
ley's work as rural school supervisor

actual change of duties was not an :
nounced until after the meeting of the

Mr.. Shealy has been chief clerk IN
the department of education, under
Superintendent Swearingen, since last
fall. Prior to that time he was a
school principal. He was head of the
OLYMPIA school for eight years, dur
ing which time he became thoroughly
familiar with conditions in mill
schools, and he is acquainted with the
problems attendant upon the admin
istration of such schools. THIS makes
him especially fitted for the work as
mill school supervisor. M. Shealy
is a native of Newberry county ana
he has many friends throughout the
State.
Prof. Easterling has for approx
mately a dozen years been connected
with the university. He was an as

the meeting of the trustees OF the
university last week he rendered his
resignation. He announced to the
board that he had agreed to assume
other duties, those in connection with
the state department of education, and

Farmers Get More-Pay More

If any one has the impression that
what the farmer received for his
crops in 1918 was largely "velvet, +"
he should be Informed that, in the
enormous advance in prices paid by
the farmer for nearly everything he
bought, his commercial fertilizer cost
him 70 per cent more per ton than
he paid in 1914, the bonemeal price
was 70 per cent higher, and lime II
per cent higher, and that the dung
fork was IA per cent more costly
and the manure spreader 81 per cent.
Gasoline for the automobile, auto

81 per cent more in 1918 than it did
four years before; 1-inch lumber was
