REMAINS
PILOT Of PARTY
NOT PLANNING
TO REORGANIZE- GREEN-
WOOD MAN TO RETAIN
GUARDIANSHIP AND DISTRI-
Butte PATRONAGE.

GREENWOOD, OcC. 14.-JoSepn w.
Tolbert, state chairman of the Re-
publican party in South Carolina,
declared today in a written state
ment to The IndexJournal that he
did not get to be chairman by the
resignation of any one else and he !
has no intention to pass On the Office
that way to another mantle further
says there will be no reorganization
of the Republican party in South |,
Carolina until he issues a call for the
meeting of the state convention in
September, 1922. The matter of pa !
tronage in South Carolina is all set /
tied, he claims.
The statements by Mr.. Tolbert
were sent from Washington where
the state chairman is staying at pre-
sent. With reference to the meeting
reported to have been held in Wash
ington/on October 6, he says that it
was not called to consider patronage
in South Carolina, "for that is all
settled" but was called to discuss
how to strengthen the Republican
party in this state.
At the meeting October 6 John T.
Adams, chairman of the Republican
national committee, was present and
declared that it would not do for
him to resign, as there would be at
least 500 applicants for the job, Mr..
Tolbert states.
Speaking of the meeting, Mr.. Toll
bert says in his statement:
"The meeting was held at Republi-
can national headquarters. We were
there to consider how to strengthen
the Republican party in South Caro-
lima. Present were: John T. Adams,
chairman of the Republican national
committee: Joseph B. Healing, men,
Der of the committee from Indiana;
Clarence B. Miller, secretary of the
committee; DR.. Williams of Rock
Hill and Mr.. Anderson from Marion,
S. C.
"Dr. Williams had considerable to
say and was finally asked by Mr..
Healing whether he would attend a
convention in South Carolina where
there were also black men present
as delegates. DR.. Williams said he
would, and before he was through,
said he would ask if I would resign.
He seemed to think that l was keep
ing white men away. Anderson also
seemed to have about the same idea
about how the Republican party
should run its affairs. He also had no
objection to negroes as delegates.
my answer was that I would not
and I certainly would not for such
men as are now kicking about me be-
ing chairman
mr.. Tolbert further says in his
statement that he would 'be glad to
have DR.. Williams and Mr.. Ander-
son and all the others in September
1922, at which time the Republican
state convention would be held and
the party reorganized."
IF they had majority of their
men at he state convention we would
make the election of their men nn-
animous and all go home feeling
good" the state chairman added,
"but I will call the next state con-
vention."

did not put one or more on the high

are evening things up in the honors

Whereas there are today some
100000 motor vehicles in the

and.
Whereas these 100000 owners
are now annually paying several

Ing s3is.769.s7S. or &34.87 per car;
and.
whereas on valuation basis this
tax amounts to nearly . per cent on
the average assessed valuation, which
Is greater than any tax on any other
form OF property; and.
Whereas the motor vehicle handled
last year more than a billion tons
OF freight and carried almost $780,

ENGLAND HOLDS 18-FOOT
RURAL ROAD SUFFICIENT
In Some Instances the Roads Will
BE "a Feet Wide to Accommo-
date Traffic.
Ky Edward John Stead,
Somerset. England.

A very great deal has been writ
ten about widths OF roads for the
accommodation of modern traffic. and
whhe admitting that large proper
ton OF what has been suggested is
doubtless very desirable, IL is sub
mitted that under prevailing condi-
lions. and Notwithstanding the dcsir-
ability of widening roads MS n pro-
vision for future traffic DEVELOPMENTS.
the widening OF rural roads to 40
rect or GO feet Is today an i'm
rracticability. II is hoped that the
consideration OF this paper will re-
suit In the evolution OF n practic-
able proposition suitable for i'm
mediate adoption. To this end tho
author expresses the opinion that n
standard width OF lS feet Is suf-
hcient FOR rural roads, with the cx-
ceptton that in certain cases of con-
siderable mixed fast and slow traffic
"a feet should be adopted In order
that there may be room for three
vehicles abreast, thus permitting the
fast to overtake the slow. The neces-
stiles of the times call for the excr-
else OF great discrimination In tho
selection of roads to he given the
greater width. and it Is believed that
the proportion of 27-foot roads would
prove to be relatively small. An
enormous Improvement would be eff
fected if roads now II feet to II feet
wide could be widened to IS feet
throughout.
Bearing in mind that a practicable
line OF action is being sought, the
selection OF materials which Will
withstand the tranic presents very
considerable difficulty. and II Is
obvious that water-bound macadam
must still be used on many miles OF
concrete as road material since the
author is OF the opinion that the high
initial cost, the uncertainty OF a suf-
hciently long life to justify such
Initial cost. and the fatal bar OF con-
struction in half-wldths puts It out
OF bounds for serious consideration
as part OF the present problem.
The following conclusions are sug-
gested for adoption as n line OF ac-
tion in the immediate future:
J. That the general width OF rural
roads should be Is feet. with a few
exceptions, which should be 81 feet.
2. That concrete is not suitable
ma terial for rural roads. because OF
high initial cost. uncertainty of sur
flciently long life, and the great dis
advantage OF construction In half
widths. (This conclusion does not
apply to new roads.)
). That IL is desirable to extend tho
use OF bituminous and tarred ma
cadam for road surfaces to the ut
most extent Of financial possibilities,
selecting the more important roads
for early treatment.
4. That the surface-tarring OF
water-bound macadam should be con-
tinued, pending conversion to BIZ
luminous macadam. and that district
roads subject to mechanically pro-
PEELED traffic should be surface tar
red wherever possible.
8. That the Ministry OF Transports
standard road signs should be adopt
ed forthwith. and every reasonable
! endeavor made to proceed with tho
scheme.
