Tor the formation Of a country club 10
DC located about midway between tho
two places. Geo. NJ. Wright, president
OF Watts Mills, acted as chairman Of
the meeting, and w. w. Harris, Of
clinton, acted as secretary. This
meeting followed several informal
meetings which had previously been
hcld where tentative plans for the
club had been discussed 4 commit
tee composed Of the chairman of the
meeting with Messrs. c. NJ. Bailey
and W. w. Harris, OF Clinton, and Dr..
w. ID. Ferguson and Alison Lee, of
Laurcns, as additional members was
appointed to draw up bylaws and Sc
lect a name. this committee to meet
in Clinton Thursday night and report
its findings to meeting of the full
committee in Laurcns on the night of
August 9th.
1t was brought out at the meeting
mat an option had already been Sc
cured on a favorable site Of about
twelve acres on the new top-soil road
between LaurcnS and Clinton and that
Mr.. Geo. Young, Of Clinton, would do
nate several acres adjoining this Site
1t was unanimously decided to cxcr-
else the option and buy the land at
once. 1t is hoped that work on the
building and grounds, estimated TO
cost around $4,000, will commence
before winter sets in.
While the committee did not set a
definite limit on the initiation and fees,
the sense of the meeting, as expressed
by vote on the question, was that the
initiation fee should be 500 per mem
Der and that dues should be $50 per
year.

ENGINEER MAKES SUGGESTIONS
ON HOW TO USE TOP SOIL ROADS
Autoists Asked Not to Break Speed Records nor
Follow in the Beaten Paths. Spirit Of Co-opera-
ton is Asked.

soil surfacing. But everyone knows.
VINO has had any experience with top
soil roads, that at best they have a
traffic limit insofar as their standing
the wear and tear Of traffic | have
noticed as | pass up and down the now
roads that everybody hammers along
in one beaten path in the center of
the road. This applies to traffic both
going and coming. AS a matter of fact,
if every auto driver would take the
right prccaution in the proper spirit,
and drive Just foot or two to the
right Of the center Of the road he
would thereby unknowinsly rcndcr
great assistance in the maintenance
and up-kecp and life Of the road. 1t
is plainly seen that traffic regulated
in this manner would be doing only
onc-half of the hammering and dam
age as it now does, with everybody go
ing and coming in the center, except
when passing other vehicles, and the
life OF the road would be almost dou-
blcd by such procedure
! would therefore, like to appcal TO
all autoist and truck drivers to con
slider this proposition and give it at
least a try-out. feel sure after such
a system has been given fair trial
they will begin to notice the difference
in the condition OF the roads. 1t IS
|hard enough, with the limited means,
labor and machinery available to
maintain the roads in proper shape,
and especially SO when the travelling
public has a tendency to thoughtlcss-
ly abuse the privilege Of riding with
ease and smoothncss over the new
roads in the same rut, instead Of OK
Iercising Judgment, and doing all they
can in assisting in their maintenance
in the manner above suggested.
might add also that the use Of cut
outs is very harmful to top-soil as
we'll as any other soil roads The cut
out acts like a bellows in dislodging
and scattering the soil and its con-
tinucd usc will materially shorten the
life Of the roads.
Yours very truly,

dcncc here Saturday morning. Mrs.
Philpot had not been well for several
months and at times her condition had
been critical, but recently she had
shown signs Of Improvement. Her
death came Saturday after a brief re-
cnrrcnce Of illness and was a shock to
the community.
The funeral services were held at

l;ditcr The Advertiser:

''hi''' +htiN Si
| would like through your columns
to bring 4 matter before the travelling
public, which | believe is of great i'm
portancc both directly and Indirectly
to it, rs well as TO the subject to be
mentioned, that is, Of the traffic use
/ OF the new topsoil roads completed in
this county.
! Naturally new and smooth sur
faced topsol road is entcing TO any
one driving an auto over it, and espec-
tally SO to those who arc inclined to
speed whenever an opportunity is Of
fcrCd. and perhaps at times when an
opportunity is not offered.
AEart from the fact that speeding
beyond the legal limit Of % miles per
hour is unlawful. it is very dangerous
to the ordinary travelling public.
whether it be pedestrian, horse and
buggy, teams and wagon, or the slow
CT driving autoists.
There is another feature connected
with speeding which the ordinary au-
tolat does not think about, and in
most cases does not know about, and
that is, that he is doing what may be
termed an irrcparablc damage to the
topsoil surface. The rubber tires Of
fast moving, high powered car has a
strong friction grip on the surface
Of the road, and the consequence is
that the smaller binding materials
which go to form the component por-
ton Of the surfaced area gives way to
this terrible friction and suction, and
is dislodgcd and blow away from it's
original location. The effect of this
sort Of thing is that the surfacing more
readily and rapidly begins to disn-
tegratc under this and heavy traffic
passing over it, especially when sub
jccted to the unavoidable and frequent
on nslaughts from the elements.
Those topsoil roads that have been
constructed, so far in this county,
have been built with the view Of TAX
ing care as near as possible, not only
OF the present traffic but Of the pos
siblc increase Of same for several
years to come, both in the matter of
the width and the thickness Of the top

ings on State System to be Held at
Greenyilic and Spartunburg.
Public hearings on Connecting High
ways in the Fourth Congressional dis
trict have been called by the State
highway department to be held at
Greenville and Spartanburg on August
4th and 9th respectively according to
notices sent out by the department the
first of this week. All those interest
ed in county to county roads are in
yitcd to attend these hearings. The
notice as sent to the press is as fol-
lows:
Under the recent Act OF the Lcgis-
lature creating State Highway Dc
partment, there is contained the fol-
lowing provision:
The said State Highway Commits
sion shall, under the advice of the
State Highway Engineer lay out a
system Of connecting highways
throughout the State, connecting cv-
cry county seat within the State and
covering such main avenues Of travel
and traffic as the said Highway Com
mission may deem advisable"
Before complying with the above
provision of the Act the Dcaprtment-
deems 1T advisable to hold public
hearing in each OF the seven Congress
sional Districts Of the state, to which
will be invited all parties who may be
intcrcstc din the matter. a tentative
State System was laid out by the form
or Highway Department after long
study and careful consideration, and
as a basis of discussion this tentative
system will be used. Maps of this lay
out may be obtained at the office of
the County Supervisor of Roads of cv-
cry County.
In pursuance Of the above purpose
the State Highway Commission will
hold hearing in the County Court
House in the city of Grecnvllc on We'd
nesday, August 4, 1920, from 10 4. NJ.
to p. NJ. and further hearing at the
Chamber Of Commerce in the city Of
Spartanburg on Thursday, August 3,
1920, from 10 A. NJ. to 1 p. NJ. and any
one in the Fourth Congressional dis
trict who believes that the roads in
that District as laid out on the said
map ought to be changed is invited to
appear at said times and places and
state to the said Commission tho
change proposed, giving the reasons
therefor.
lnasmuch as the Department is
charged with the duty Of laying out
State System connecting the county
seats and the roads Of adjoining states,
only such roads as cvould consistently
and properly be incorporated in such
system can be taken into considcra-
ton.

BOIL WEEYIL IN THE COUNTY.
County Agent Moore Finds the Real
Article Near Cross Hill.


Boil wccvls in considerable uuan-
tiles were identified by County Agent
NJ. ID. Moore near Cross Hill after a
visit to that section by Mr.. Moore last
week. The pcsky little bugs were found
on the place Of Mr. John Necl, about
four miles below Cross Hill, and ap-
peared to be congenially located for
the season. Mr.. Moore said that they
had apparently come up from ditch
containing many weeds where they hi
bcrnated during the winter and had
spread over about an acre of ground.
While REASONABLY plentiful, he said,
they would hardly do any damage this
year but would likely spread to other
sections Of the county.
Although he has heard several re-
ports OF the wccvil being in the coun-
ty this year and few last year, Mr..
Moore said that these were the first
that he had seen and that some of the
other so-callcd wccvils that had been
brought TO his notice were not boil
wcevils at ALL Some people, he said,
had mistaken the corn weevil for the
boil wccvil and become much con-
ccrncd over them. These corn wecv-
lis, he said, arc comparatively harm
less to cotton and will disappear very
soon, their only reason for being on
the cotton being that the farmers havo
grown SO little corn that tho weevils
haven't enough OF their regular dict
to feed on and have taken to cotton as
q last resort.
