Columbia, Nov. THE new sys-

a state system Of highway in

Gals Of the state highway depart

the announcement from Washing
ton of the changed system of allot-

is required to create a connected
road system, not exceeding seven
per cent Of its entire road mileage.
The state highway commission
will meet in Columbia Tuesday at
noon. at which time the use of the
new funds appropriated by con-
gress and the operation of the road
program under the new rules, will
be discussed. Congress has allowed
this state approximately S1,050,-

ately available.
There are $4,000 miles Of public
roads in South Carolina. OF this,
three thousand miles must be in.
the connected road system. How
ever. the state highway department
has anticipated this requirement,
and the states plans for its sys-

said. Highway department officials
are now trying to get complete data
as to the mileage in each county,
with a view to ascertaining the ex-
tent to which the states system
will conform with federal require
nlentS.
The maintenance fund of the
state will not be adequate next
year, highway officials hold, and
will necessitate additional provis-
ion of funds by the 1922 legish-s
ture. Eighty per cent Of the motor
vehicle license fees is used for
maintenance OF highways. With
the increase Of the road system,
this fund Will be too small it is be-

Another Clash in Sen

That Soldiers Were
Hanged Like Dogs

Washington, Nov. 4,-Another
clash occurred today in the senate
over the charges by Senator Wat
son that American soldiers had
been hanged like dogs without
trial in France. Senator Edge
criticized him for attempting to
place in the Congressional Record a
photograph of a gaAlows without
requesting permission to print the
newspaper article accompanying
the picture which said the gallows
had been used to hang soldiers
after courtmartial for assaulting
seven year old French girl, who
died from the effects. Senator
Watson said his charges that 21
soldiers had been hanged We're
based on the statement of a SOL
der who said he had seen the gal
lows and had been told by the
guard that this number had bene
hanged.
A new resolution ordering a spe-
cial committee to investigate the
Watson charges was adopted unani-
mously after two hours wrangle.
