The suggestion has be n seriously
advanced that an extra ballot box be
placed at each polling place at the
County Court election on June 14th
for the purpose Of permitting the vo
ters OF the county to record their
views on the question Of issuing or
not issuing at this time all or any
par, Of the $2,5G0,000 good roads bond
issue. A majority Of the, Permanent
Highway Commission decided against
selling any Of the bonds at the pres
ent time, while minority favors SELL
ing some OF the bonds-s250.G00 to
$500, ,0Ga-and beginning work on the
hard surface road system at once. The
suggested referendum is to sound the
sentiment Of the taxpayers Of the
county on this point
The question is, who has the author
ity co place this extra ballot box at
the polls and what effect it would
have ON the special election on the
County Court. ordered by act OF the
legislature? The suggested refer
endum vote could have no binding or
legal force to influence or direct the
action of Highway Commission-at
most it could merely serve as infor-
nation in respect TO the sentiment OF
the voters in respect to the bond is

News From the Mountains.

Tryon, N. c., May 27.-We have
been here now TWO weeks-two weeks
of frequent rains. The evening be-
fore we came up there was big hail
storm. 1t is said the ground was COW
erd to a depth of three inches. Two
of the vineyards are said TO have the
crops destroyed. Another is damag-
ed 25 per cent; two others not hurt
at all.
This has been an unusual spring
February and March were likt April
and May while April and May have
been cool and wet.
The mountains and valleys are
beautiful. On the two hundred and
six mile trip up here two things were
very noticeable: Splendid gardens of
vegeta bles, and the contrast between
good and bad roads. There are a
good many miles of good roads that
have been constructed since We left
the mountains in October. And there
are some miles that were terribly cut
up by traffic during the winter
months that have not yet been re-
paired.

Some More Hard Surfaced Roads Talk

a1r. Editor:
Along last year some time Sumter
county decided that they wanted some
hard surfaced roads built and they
were willing to pay for them Along
about that time they asked certain
number Of good men in the county II
they would take the responsibility OF
selling the bonds and building the
roads They said they would and
that they would not ask any pay tor
doing so. | fail TO see why there
should be any further palaver about
it. The commissioners have full in
structions furnished by large major
ity OF the people to proceed at once
TO build the roads. Why can't we
have the roads we were promised and
why all this delay?
We told the Pinewood and Turbe-
Vile sections that we here in Sumter
comfy were going 10 build hard sur
faced roads and they wanted TO 1oin
on TO Sumter and did so thinking tha.
we meant what we said. Clarendon
county now has the laugh on those
sections that did leave them and JOIN
this county. They say Where are the
hard surfaced roads YOU were going
TO get to drive over when you joined
Sumter county? We didn't promise
YOU very much in the way OF good
roads but we have been building roads
all over the county for more than SIX
months and here your Sumter county
friends that were going to do so much
are still talking and have done noth-
ing.
We got our names in all the big cas-
tern papers when we said that we We're
going to build two and a half million
dollars worth OF hard surfaced i2aos.
The Associated Press spread the gcod
news all over the country and no"
inquiries have been pouring IN lor
several months from other counties
to know what materials we are using
and what sort we have found most
satisfactory They also want TO kno"
when we got started on the work and
when we expect TO finish the job. we
lust have to tell them we haven't done
anything yet and do not even Know
when we will do anything toward the
work. 1t seems that we have been put
in bad light somehow or other.
Florence county is building hard
surfaced roads everywhere and they
must have sold some bonds or borrow
cd some money somewhere. Cant
we. at leas-. get started on our nara
surfaced roads and make people thlhh
ne are doing something.

by both his company and the South
eastern, the commission would go to
the courts TO enforce il. Chairman
Shealey, of the commission, stated
that there had been other similar
complaints.
The Pearce companr complained
that large shipment Of beans, made
from little town on the Columbia
Savannah branch Of the Seaboard,
had been shipped to Savannah,
thence to Hamlet, thence to Green
wood, thence to Greenville and
thence to Spartanburg, its destina-
ton. handled on all these railroad
lines by the American company.
