OAkLANDDURANT
 QUICKLY ASSUMING SHAPE

OAKLAND, Cal, Dec. 24-(Spe- ciaD-Work on the new assembly plant of Durant Motor company of California is progressing rapidly. The work of this plant was started much earlier than was first anticipated as K. C. Durant, the president of the concern, at first thought that it would not be necessary for the Oak
 land plant to be in operation much
 before July of next year. It was an-
 ticipated that during these winter months the Long Island plant, the
 Muncie plant and the Lansing plant
 would be fully capable of turning out
 sufficient Durant cars both for the East and California with surplus to carry well into the spring. But all ! his calculations were upset by the buying public who have been most ! insistent in their demand for cars, and notwithstanding that this is usually the dull season in eastern automobile circles, that part of the United States is not only absorbing twice as many cars as was first al l iotted them but are taxing to ca i pacity all the plans in the Durant chain. This unusual demand coupled | with the unprecedented sale of cars ! in the West. caused Mir Durant to 1 begin contraction of his Oakland plant immediatly, with instructions
 to the contractors, P. J. Walker and l company, to force progress as speed = ! fly as possible.
 During the month of November 1 approximately 200 four cylinder models have been shipped from the Long Island city plant to the Oakland l organization with a complete train
 of 30 carloads of these cars now on

ARIZONA'S FEDERAL AID OVER M MLLION
 BY ACT JUST SIGNED
Phipps-Dowell Bill Passed And Signed Making Huge Sum Available To All Public Domain States Of Mediterranean Recognizes It's Obligation To Pay For Roads Crossing Government Lands

With the passage and signing of the Phipps- -Dowell federal highway act on November g, the amount of federal allocat ations awarded to the state of Arizona is $1,05S,2 ,2S1.44 and the total for the entire group of western states is $13,555, ,646.79. These states are Arizona, California, Colo rado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon. Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
 The percentage of unappropriated public land in the state of Arizona Is 25.1 per cent, and the CO., operation required by the federal government from Arizona amounts to S630. 0.621.14. It will be seen that a total of S422,- 659.7a is thus saved the state through the graduated scale provided in the act which was passed.
 The adoption of the Phipps-Dow- ell act constitutes recognition on the
 part of the government of it's obli-
 gations in the great public domain
 states. The effect of this recogni-
 ton is not to be estimated, as it will doubtless extend greatly within the
 coming years, now that this policy has at last been adopted.
 Apportionment of the funds to the states is about the same as provided for in the federal aid of 1916. It is divided into three parts, one appor- | tioned according to population, one according to area, and one according 1 to the mileage of rural and star mai routes.
 i However, there has been consider | able change in the manner in which | each state may use its road allot- ment It must select a connected l road system not exceeding per cen
 of it's road mileage for improvement | with federal aid. This system vii 1 be divided into two classes. one O 1 which will be known as interstate l highways and the other as inter
Arizona republican., 1921-12-25

county highways The former must not exceed three -seventhz of the sys- tenn selected and not more than 60 per cent of the states allotment can be spent on them withTue the ap- proval of the secretary of agriculture and the state highway department, jointly.
 The inter county highways. which consist of the remainder of the Sys tenn selected, will receive four -sev- enths of the states allotment. Be- fore any funds can be paid to the state, the state must appropriate money under the direct control of
 the state highway department to
 match the federal allotment and for
 the maintenance of the federal aid
 highways.
 All highways in the interstate sys- tenn must have a surfaced width of at least IS feet unless a narrower width is deemed permissible by the
 secretary of agriculture. While the passage and signing of this bill marks a long step forward, | it is not all the western states had ! hoped for. The fact that it is un- ! just to require the states to construct | roads over the public domain is no 1 more true than to require thtm to l build over the Indian reservations | and national parks. The term ''un- appropriated public lands" should be 1 extended to cover public land, Indian
 reservations and national parks. Ari-
 zona has a great plenitude of all 1 three.
 The bill also provides S5.00o.000 for 1 immediate expenditure on forest | roads with an additional expendi- | ture of S10,000,000 available on July 1, 1922 The federal allotments tc | the states and amount of co-opera- | ton required from the states. to- gether with amount of public land ir

It is stated that the Willys- Overland company will turn out a total of z50 cars per day, or a total of 15O.0O0 cars. It is further more expected that between 10000 and l2,000 men will be given employ ment at the Central avenue plant at Toledo. It is furthermore stated that as direct result of efficient meth ods and real Improvements in ma chinery and production systems, the maximum number of men employed during the years of the world w'lr will not be reached, but the new sys- tenn will enable the plant to produce as many cars as formerly.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

From time to time The Sentinel
gives accounts of family reunions,
hence it may not be amiss to write
about the reunion at Mr.. w. F. John
sons home. July first about sixty
relatives and friends met there to
celebrate Mrs. Mary johnson Barr's
birthday. Mrs. Barr is the eldest of
the four surviving children Of the
late Mr.. Robert Johnson. Consider
ing the gathering it seemed that Mrs.
Barr had friends in all ages of life.
Merry children laughed and played
under the cool shade of the trees;
fair maidens "blushed at the praise
of their own loveliness;" young ma
irons smiled on sleeping infants;
groups, who had reached life's after
noon, discussed current events or ex-
changed "reminiscences of the past.
MIR. B. j. Johnson, Confederate
veteran, related incid ents of the
Civil War in such graphic manner
that one could almost hear the Con-
federates yell and see the head-long
charges they made.
Tempting refreshments are expect
ed at a birthday gathering, but on
this occasion the dinner had been so
carefully prepared it surpasss ed ex-
pectation.
Rev. Jackson read the first psalm
and made appropriate remarks. Mrs
w. f. Johnson played old time piec
es. Several singers were present
Enlivened by song and story the
summer day glided swiftly away anc
the time for parting came all toe
soon. Mrs. Bars friends hope tha
she may live to celebrate many more
such pleasant birthdays.

CARD FROM ADULT SCHOOI
ORGANIZER.

Some months ago the people OF
South Carolina were startled by ar
article which came out in the Jour
nal of the National Education Asso-
citation. The facts in that article
that were so startling were as fol
lows:
l. So tn Carolina has the small.
est percentage of citizens who can
read than any state in the Union ex.
cept Alabama.
z. South Carolina spends the least
percapita for the education of her
citizens. The United States aver
ages $1,000 percapita. South Caro-
!lna's average is $11.17.
8. South Carolina has the least
number of school days per school
term. We provide 113 days for our
boys and girls while the United
States average is 160 days.
a. Our state has the least per cent
of girls and boys in high school.
5. We have the least number of
public Libraries.
o. We occupy the lowest place in
the nation along all educational lines.
These facts have called forth much
comment from the press, yet they re-
main undisputed. This record plac-
es our state in position of humilia-
ton and shame. Our educational
efflclency rs rated far below the
islands of Hawai- and Porto Rico.
10 redeem our state from this stain
OF llllteracy the Department of Edu-
cation has launched Va statewide
drive to wipe out the CALLING shame
that we have so many citizens who
can neither read nor write.
In 1918 there were twenty-three
per cent of the voters Of this county
VINO could not write their own names
on the Democratic club roll! How
many will there be in 1922? What
are you doing to change this condi-
tion?
Pickens county will organize about
twenty schools for adults during the

OBITUARY..

The death angel visited the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Boldin Nav
80, 1921, and took from them their
darling baby, Joe Clyde, age two
years and ten months. His life was
short but was SO full of sunshine.
10 know him was to love him.
All that loving hands could do was
done for him, but Jesus said he had
q place vacant in heaven that he
wanted Clyde to fill, and today we
Know while our hearts are bleeding
and broken he is safe forever with
al' the loved ones and is with Jesus
where ne will never know no sorrow
or care like mother and father have
had.
We know that God never made a
mistake, but it seemed so hard to
have him placed in his little white
casket, his little sweet hands full of
flowers and see him carried awav
from us where we will never hear
that sweet little voice calling us
again. But we believe he is calling
us to come on where he is, where
there will be no more sad parting,
where all is JOY and gladness.
We laid him to await the great
resurrection day at Flat Rock ceme
terry by his dear old grandfather
amid the most beautiful floral offer
ing.
We never can thank our dear
friends and neighbors enough for
their kindness and help, day and
night. May Gods richest blessings
rest on them. And also Dr.. Allgood
/ who we believe did all he could for
little Clyde. We never can forget
him for all he did.
There'll never be crepe on the door
knob, no funeral train in the
skies,
NO graves on the hillsides of glory
For there we shall never more die.
He leaves to mourn his loss one
brother, father and mother. We
know he can never come back to his
little chair at the table, but we car
go to WI re he is.
His grandmother,
Mrs. G. A. Bagwell
