THE ELECTION TUESDAY

Before another issue of The County
Record appears the primary election
in this county and State for 1920 will
have become history. In this number
of The Record appears a copy of the
official ticket to be voted at the pri
mary next Tuesday. According to
the rules of the Democratic party, no
one whose name does not appear on
this ticket can now become candl-
date or be legally voted for. therefore
it is the duty of every voter to read
and ponder the names of the candl-
dates offering for the various county
offices. for in our county offices we
are Just now most vitality interested.
1t is the duty of every voter to turn
out and do his utmost Tuesday to elect
men to these offices who are best fit
ted to serve the county and its citi-
zens to advantage. In this important
matter personal friendships and per-
sonal prejudices should be placed in
the background and only the candi-
dates qualifications for filling the Of
flee to which he aspires and his abili-
ty to serve the people acceptably
should be taken into consideration. If
this rule is followed literally, Will
Iiamsburg will come out of the can..
paign with her right foot forward
and ready to take up the march OF

then we may expect to remain either

from Kingstree to Lake City and
Florence by way of Brockington and
Cades; road from Kingstree to

Andrews to Maurray's Ferry, which
exact route has not yet been decided

above roads are put into certain
stage of development, or built in ac-
cordance with the plans and specifi-
cations of the State Highway Depart
ment they will be accepted, taken
over and maintained by the State
Highway Department as part of their
system. The county is to furnish the
funds for the building of these roads,
for which purpose the two-mill levy
was placed on all taxable property,
while the 80 per cent of the motor
vehicle license will be used by the
highway department for the mainte-
nance of said highways. Unless
funds are secured, the tow-mill levy
will only construct about two miles
of these roads per year. We all
know that the sooner We get these
roads off our hands, which are the
main roads of this county. the more
money, time. labor and material we
will have to put on our other high
ways. At the last meeting of the
Legislature, sS0,000.00 was appropri-
ated to match S79,00O00 of federal
aid that was then on hand for eXpen-
diture in this county. The route from
Kingstree to Manning was selected as
the first road for development. The
surveys, plans and specifications have
been completed for this piece of road,
and the contract was let July 7th for
the building of the Black river cause

Editor County Record:

Editor County Record:
The question is asked from time to
time: "What is this State Highway
Department-its object, purpose, du-
ties, etc."
The State Highway Department
was formed in February, 1917, the
principle object of which was to su-
pervise the expenditure of about
s25O,OO0.OO of federal aid in South
Carolina, provided for by an Act Of
Congress, approved July l1,1916, of
which about S79,000.00 was appor-
toned to Williamsburg County. To go
into detail: "The object and purpose
of the State Highway Commission
shall be to provide systematic high
way construction and maintenance
throughout the State. That it shall
be the duty of the State Highway
Commission, through the State High
way Engineer, by and with the con-
sent of the county road authorities
to survey and layout the public high
ways within the State, having due re-
gard for the connecting Of the roads
of one county with another, and the
main roads connecting with the roadS
of adjoining state, so as to form a
system of connectin. roads within the
State; and shall also instruct, assist
and cooperate with the county road
authorities of the various counties in
the construction of the county system
of highways; and by and with the
consent of the county road authori-
ties, construct and maintain with
county funds all roads built and con-
structed within the system. To that
end the State Highway Commission
shall, under the advice of the State
Highway engineer, lay out system
of connecting highways throughout
the State, connecting every county
seat within the State, and covering
such main avenues of travel and tl-af-
fic as the State Highway Commission
may deem advisable. It shall have

county authorities of each county, to

and bridges, the title of such roads
and bridges to remain in the county
within which they are built. 1t shall
have the power to acquire such lands
and road building material and rights
of-way as may be needed for roads
and bridges by purchase or gift or by
condemnation. The county in which
such highway is built shall furnish
the necessary funds and means for
the building of such highways and
bridges. 1t shall cause the sari high
ways to be marked with suitable di-
rections for travel, and shall regulate
traffic along said highways, subject
to the laws of the State
A two-mll levy has been placed
upon the taxable property of the
State, which shall be retained by the
counties and used for the construc-
ton of highways and bridges in the
State system in the respective coun-
ties under the general supervision of
