Work OF Highway Commission.

There will be difference OF opinion
Of course respecting the action of the
house of representatives in adopting
In the general appropriation bill the
section setting aside for this year col
lection Of the two mill levy for road
purposes. II the senate agrees to the
section, the tax burden of the people
will be lightened approximately a
million dollars for the year 1921.
So far as York county is concerned,
1t would seem that the taxpayers
would welcome the suspension OF this
levy. In 1920 the county paid about
$4,000 as its part of the tax and 1t
Is interesting to note what our people
got in return for this sum. The State
highway commission took over and
agreed to maintain the road between
Rock Hill and York and the concrete
macadam section of the road between
Rock Hill and Catawba river. The
Rock Hill-York road was plowed up
last fall under the direction of the
highway commission and left in that
condition. Since then the road has
been impossible for the greater part
OF the time. On the Rock Hill-river
road a number of barrels of binder
material and n quantity of rock were
placed for repair work following the
storm of last August. This road has
not been repaired.
Last week in the house of repre-
sentatiVes n bin designed to take the
control of the public highways of the
state out Of the hands of the State
highway commission and place It
with the county authorities fell
short OF passage by only two votes.
One Is on safe ground therefore in
concluding that the days of the high
way commission as II is now operat-
ing are numbered. The representa-
uVes OF the people do not intend that
their respective counties be given
practically no voice In saying where
: the money they pay under the two
mil levy for the improvement and
maintenance OF the public roads
snail be expended. Perhaps a ma
1ority OF the members of the house
or representatives are of the opinion
that the General Assembly has never
created a more extravagant, arbitrary
body than the State highway COM
mission and that its methods and ac-
complishments. do not justify It's ex-
lstence as the present law provides.
AND taking note of the fire 1t has
beeen under in the house of represen-
tatlVes for the last month, the high
way commission Is now busying itself
circulating propaganda through the
columns of daily papers in the form
OF alleged news articles telling of the
great work 1t claims to have done
during the last year in building new
roads and improving old ones. The
informed man will take these articles
Tor what they are worth, and that Is
precious little. In our opinion they
contain so much virtue as is wrapped
up In the recital of not what the
hlshway commission has done but
what 1t should have done.

Back to the Farm.

The steady increase of town and
city population at the expense of the
rural districts, as shown by recent
census fgures is not cause for alarm.
IN seeking the cause Of this migra-
ton such things as the desire for city
conveniences,, better educational ad-
Nantages and wider social opportuni-
ties are usually enumerated. And
tfese are, no doubt, the principal
causes for desertion Of the farm. But

Who Made the Alphabet

If it takes a genius to make great
words, 1t was also a genius who made
the alphabet which makes the words
The pedigree Of our alphabet can be
traced continuously for nearly 5000
years, and then comes hiatus, says a
recent writer. The genesis of writing
must >naturally-be sought in pictures.
Caveman, when he painted his women
or beasts on rock walls, or carved ellis
and elephants on antlers and tusks,
was laying the foundations of one Of
the great human inventions. Behind
all this apt artistic effort we must see
some esoteric motive, for it was not
due merely to the striving Of the crea-
tive soul after expression. Doubtless,
adds our authority, when caveman held
on exhibition Of his works, his friends
praised the ingenuity and beauty Of
his pictures, but there is something
more than the desire Of simple repro
duction hidden in his handiwork.

WORKED BENEATH THE EARTH
Discovery in Jerusalem Solves Much
Of Mystery Connected With King
Solomon's Temple.

How often great discoveries spring
from trif1ing incidents! The trite re-
Election comes to mind naturally on
hearing how the quarries Of King Sol
ONION We're found. DR.. Allen Moore,
for II years a resident Of Palestine,
tells the curious tale.
For many many years, says Doctor
Moore, travellers and psychologists
were puzzled to know where the enor-
nous blocks Of stone still standing in
the ruins Of Solomon's temple at Jeru-
salem were quarried. One day a lit
tie dog chased a lizard down hole
among the debris. The next instant
the dog also disappeared.
His master, coming to the opening,
peered down in vain. He called, and
to his amazement his voice came back
as from great depths. He summoned
assistance, and passage was opened
into immense subterranean quarries.
There were found huge masses Of
stone almost ready to be hoisted
above ground.
|: "And don't you remember" asks
Doctor Moore, that we are told in
our Bibles that the temple was built
without sound Of saw or of hammer?
The fact that the duarryman worked
underground partly explains that"
Upon some of the stones were found
inscriptions that perplexed the explor-
ers until one scholar pronounced them
Phoenician. The stones were wrought
by some Of that army Of workmen sent
BY King Hiram of Tyre to aid King
panion.

GROUSE LIVES LIKE ESKIMO
In Cold Weather the Bird Finds
Safe and Warm Retreat
in Snow House.

In the temperate months the grouse
has an excellent choice of food con-
sisting of q great variety Of berries,
small fruit, seeds, buds, clover, beech
nuts, grasshoppers and a multitude of
young, tender leaves. In the winter
one wonders at their survival; for
now the fall flight of the robins COM
pletely exhausts the berries, which
were wont to linger and ripen we'll
into winter, compelling the grouse to
depend largely upon yellow birch
buds, with many a forced meal on an
evergreen.
Fortunately, whenever the tempera-
ture Is far below zero the sky is usu-
ally clear and the grouse are active
and unconcerned, but if the days and
nights are dark and cold or the air
filed with merciless pellets, they have
the habit of plunging into deep snow
drifts, where foot below the surface
the heat and weight Of the body form
a globular retreat, in which they re-
main comfortably until the storm
clears or hunger forces an exit.
Sometimes in winter or the early
spring there may come a rain or a
warm day that melts the surface snow
followed by severe weather, and then
thousands Of grouse are imprisoned
and the heretofore safe retreat be-
comes their tomb should weeks pass
by before the seal is broken.-Na-
tional Geographic Magazine.

SCOUT LAWS IN CAMP.

Every boy scout attending the White
Plains Council camp this summer, is
given little folder on the application
Of the scout law in camp.
Here are few Of the paragraphs
discussing the different laws:
A Scout Is Trustworthy.-A scouts
honor is trusted in camp as well as
elsewhere. The things you brought
to camp belong to you and what the
other campers brought belong to
them. Do not take anything that does
not belong to you without asking per-
mission Of the owner. If he loans you
anything, you are trusted with 1t and
are expected to return it in as good
condition as when taken to the place
or person from whom borrowed. You
are responsible for any camp tools or
equipment you may use which are the
property of the camp. Be careful with
them and return them to their proper
place. When on a hike with other
scouts or alone, you are on your honor
and expected to behave as scout.
A Scout Is charlottesville, smile,
smile. No long face in camp. 1t will
cheer you up and also the, other fel-
low. Do your work cheerfully and
don't grumble at hardships nor shirk
your duty. There are duties to be
done in camp; 60 at them with smile
and you will work better and quicker.
Time is saved by doing your task the
best it can be done. Don't consider
it done until it is done in the very
best way. W. h
. A Scout Is Thrifty.-The camp
equipment has cost a great deal Of
money. 1t belongs to the scouts. How
long it lasts, depends great deal on
how you use it. A scout does not de-
stroy any property whether 1t belongs
to himself or to another. Respect the
rights Of others by using their things
in the right way. Make good use Of
your time in camp by learning some
thing that will be Of use to you. It
isn't necessary to spend oil your
money because it has been given you
or you have earned it. To save It
from being lost or recklessly spent
the camp bank is>operated' Deposit it

BOY SCOUT WORK IN ALBANIA,

I The first troop Of boy scouts to be
,organized in Albania has recently been
started in Tirana by an American Red
Cross woman. The boys are deeply
interested, and are quite as eager to
do their daily good turn as their Amer
lean brothers. They wear uniform
similar to our own, but their cap is a
picturesque affair of black felt, with
a tartan band Of red and black, the
Albanian national colors, around the
! edge and hanging down the back.
Most Of the boys are Musselmans and
must wear a brimless hat, so that
their faces may never be concealed
