GREENVIL-LE

Greenvilie, November 7.-(Special. )-The state highway commission has selected the North-South road as the state high way for Butler county. A corps of en- gineers and surveyors have been work ing in the county for several weeks. and when their work was completed the commission announced that the above was the selected route and it was ac- eeptea py the Butler county commission. ers' court.
 The road leads from Greenville north. which is known as the Fort Dale road, to the Lowndes county line about twelve miles away. It leads south to Georgiana. thence to Mckenzie At Mckenzie a road will be built to the Coneuch county line. little to the southwest. and one to the Covington county line, little to the southeast
 The greater part of this road has al- reaoy been constructed, and the state will only have to built about twenty two miles of road. A large number of the citizens objected to this route on the grounds that all but the extreme south end had already been built, save the ten miles north of Greenville, which had al- ready been contracted for. These citi- zens wanted the commission to select an entirely new road in any part of the county that would serve the greatest number of people.
 The Baptist Sunday School institute that has been in progress at the local Baptist church throughout the week. conducted by Mir. Emmett Moore and Miss C. Wiley of the state department, came to close last night The insti- tute was a success in every way and great good will be the result Exami- nations were held at the last meeting Calvin Poole.

Butler county's quota is 2,5V0 members, and when these are enrolled $500 will have been added to the treasury, for the mem bership fee is s1 per year.
