MAY WORK RIVER ROAD.
Delegation Recommends Transfer OF
sChaingang to Fort Mill Township.

II
II resolution agreed upon yester-
day in Columbia at a meeting Of the
York delegation in the General AS
sembly has the desired eject upon the
county supervisor and the county
commissioners the county chaingang
will be brought to Fort Mill township
before the first of next July and put
to work on the public road between
the town and Catawba river. The
section of the road the delegation
wishes to have improved by the chain
gang is little less than two miles in
length and is at present in bad con-
dtion, as 1t has been for several
months.
The road is a part of the county
highway between Fort Mill and Rock
Hill and was built by the county
chaingang at the time the new river
bridge across the Catawba was opened
to the public in 1917. The road has
been given little attention and as
consequence becomes almost impassa-
bic in rainy weather. Recently
number of motor trucks have become
stranded in the mud of the branch
bottoms near the river bridge ana
the drivers were forced to abandon
them overnight. On several occasions
during the present winter automobiles
could not make the trip between Fort
Mill and Rock Hill on account of the
condition Of the road.
When the suggestion was made TO
the legislative delegation at the meet
ing in Columbia yesterday that some
thing be done by the county to I'M
prove the road, it was pointed out
that the road is n part of the county
highway system and that the Fort
Mill township commissioners could
not therefore be expected to keep II
in repair. Senator Hart, recognizing,
as he said, the validity of the clam OF
Fort Mill upon the county for inn
provement of the road, suggested that
IL nothing comes of the resolution of
the delegation urging the removal OF
the chaingang to Fort Mill township
to put the road in good condition, IT
will be up to the delegation at the scs-
sion of the General Assembly next
year to take other steps to insure
proper maintenance of the road.

/ have this much to say about it:
The United States senate has entirely
ignored the soldiers who saw service
in France for $50 a. moath to make
our country safe. knowing at the
time that If it had not been for the
man-power furnished by Uncle Sam
that we might have been in the same
plight of some OF the European
countries, and l think the senate
should blush with shame.
AS stated in the article from the
Philadelphia Record, the people who
worked in government plants were
paid the highest wages. and there Is
not cven.a kick from them. l would
consider them very unpatriotic If
there was. Concering those above
the workers. we have every reason to
be!ieve they were well paid.
There is room for me TO say a
great deal more. but the main thing
l wanted to say was this: In case the
bonus for shipyard workers is put
through. every man who worked for
the government should turn the
money he receives over to the men

The article from the Philadelphia
Record to which Mr.. Johnston refers
follows:
The senate has voted n bonus Of
$24O to each person employed dur.
ing the war in shipyards and arse
nails. which will amount to at least
H7.0oO.000. These men were getting
the highest wages ever heard Of in
this country. They were getting 90
cents an hour. because the country
was in desperate need of their work
and 100000 men had been taken
from their homes and put into the
army ut $50 month. Congress is in
grave doubt about giving $40 a
month for the period Of their service
to the soldiers, but the senate votes
$40 n month for two years to the
men who were making money out of
the war"
