Work on the permanent high
way to Highlands, y. c., will be in
progress within very short while,
and when the work is begun it will
he pushed as rapidly as possible con-
sistent with the high class Of work
required by the government. Mr..

this work in charge, was in Walhalla
the first Of this week looking after
preliminaries incident to active work
on his section Of the road from Rus
sells to Highlands. While his firm

Another accident occurred on
Main street last week, by reason OF
which young boy was quite pain
fully hurt, being run over by an au-
tomobtle. He was given attention by
physician at once, and his injuries
were said not to be Of a serious ma
ture. 1t Is only question Of time
until life Is going to be lost on
Main street. where cars run at reck-
less speed at almost all times, with
out lights often, after dark, and turn
at will at any point in the street in
stead OF being required to go to
corner to turn. Such thing as US
ing horn or other warning signal
Is out OF date, and corners are turn
ed at almost any speed that may
happen to suit the peculiar fancy of
the driver. Only two Sundays ago.
there was a crash between two cars
at the corner Of Mauldin and Tugaloo
streets. Fortunately no one was hurt
in this instance, but 1t was a narrow
escape. No warning was given by
either car OF It's approach to the cor
ner. and neither party could blame
the other for the accident. Both were
IN the wrong. 1t is time for the auto
drivers to begin to observe the laws
or safety. One would feel a whole lot
better, In case Of an accident, IL he
knew that he had done his part to
avoid 1t by giving warning or by hay
ing the knowledge that he had kept
within the law in the matter of speed
or other regulations. Better to be
safe than sorry"
