Tires on Right
Wear Out First

The fact that tires on the right,
hand side OF car wear Out faster
In proportion than those on the left
hand side. often puzzles motorists
The popular superstition that this
wear is caused by turning many
corners 20 tho right. In incorrect
The fact Is that the increased wear
Is actually caused by tho pitch OF
the road, which throws more OF the
car on tho right side than on the
left

determining the sequence In which
tires normally wear Outright rear

ments.
The slope OF the road causes the
right rear tire to carry more weigh,
than the left rear tire Thus the
right rear wears the faster of the
two. The right front also. accord
ing to Miller tire and tube experts
will wear more rapidly than the
left front. for tho same reason
However. as tho left rear wheel
receives q driving pull while the
right front does not IL will wear
the faster OF tho two. Under aver
age conditions tho right rear nre
wears out first and the left front
last.
To secure uniform wear from a
set OF tires. change them around

is it important TO reverse the rear
tires. After the rear tires arc
worn down. reverse them with ths

I don't know much about the up
per road as | have not been over 1t
in some time. They tell me that 1t
could be built for less money and it
is some three miles nearer, but l IA
vor the building of both roads and
so far as I am concerned there is no
need for me to make comparisons.
About the same creeks are to be
encountered on either road.
Newberry county and Newberry
town will regret it some day if some
thing is not done and done right
now to build these two very impor-
tant roads. But apart from that it
is al duty we owe these people to
give some attention to the building OF
some roads up in that section of the
county.
And then as 1 have stated you
can't even talk to them from New
berry without paying the toll and
going around through Clinton to get
them. l hope my friend, President
Epps Brown, will look into this mat
ter and at least give US line from
Newberry to Whitmire $50 that we
may at least be in speaking distance.
Then l believe that he claims this
section of the county as his birth
place and he should have an espe-
cial interest in connecting it with the
town of Newberry without having to
pay for the privilege of talking after
you have your phone in. Some of the
farmers who desire to talk to New
berry have to put in two phones, one
for the neighborhood service and the
other to get to Newberry. l am sure
that President Brown can and will
remedy this for US. But the build
ing of the roads is the main and I'M
portant thing just now. They should
be built. 1t is duty we owe the
people up that side and that we owe
to ourselves as a county and a town
Of Newberry.
7 became so obsessed with the i'm
portance of doing something for the
roads so as to make the two good
towns nearer to each other that ! al
most forgot to speak of the school,
and to visit the tenth grade of this
school was one of my purposes in TAX
ing the trip. l met with Miss Don
nan and Mr.. Riser and the members
of the tenth grade and explained to
them about the essay that l have
been giving a medal for in this school
for number of years, and explained
the subject to them. And by the
way they have fine school here as
we'll as at some other places in the
county, and outside of Newberry the
largest enrolment of any school in
the county. The enrolment this ses-
sion is near to 400. think Mr.. Riser
told me that the enrolment that
rainy Friday was 81. Think Of this
as you try to think of this commun-
ity center. A school with near to 400 |
white children means pretty good

operation of the business men OF
Whitnlire would put up hundred
thousand and get like amount from
the federal government, as l under
stand it can be had, why then both
the upper road and the lower road
could be built. That would allow the
expenditure of around five thousand
dollars a mile. Here is good job

who drove me over that no one but
a fool or lunatic would venture out
on such a day with the condition OF
the roads unless it was an emergency
case such as carrying the mail or
doctor answering a sick call. But we
went and we came back. We went
up by Beth Eden and came into the
Appalachian highway at Mr.. Bakers,
but returning we went around by the
Caldwell road. Both are bad and the
creek crossings are in especially bad
fix. It looked one time that we would

the old Hebrews could make bricks
without straw In the development
of civilization we may be able to do
It, but certainly we have not yet
reached that stage of advancement.
I understand that the contract has
been let to build bridge across
Duncan creek on this road and that
it is proposed to build steel span
across the creek and then to have the
bridge raised and build approaches
that will be above the swamp and
reach out to the banks on either side.
This will be a great Improvement.
Some of the citizens up that side
seem to be Of the opinion that it
would be better and more lasting to
build the steel span across the creek
and then to make fill on either side
and support it on the lower side by
Duncan's creek on this road and that
concrete wall and make driveway OF
concrete a couple feet thick and then
it would stay there and could be
crossed at any time. They say it
would not cost any more than the
bridge, and after looking at the place
we believe that it would be the bet
ter way to fix the crossing of this
creek. Then there is Indian creek
and Kings creek both of which need
something to be done to make them
