UNLESS AID is RECEIVED
ROAD WORK MUST STOP

Anderson, June 14.-Whether or
not the Anderson county highway
commission will have available funds
for the completion of approximately
100 miles of roads in this county, will
be determined today, following the
meeting Of the state highway COM
mission. when the matter of rearpor-
tionments of unabsorbed fedora aid
funds will be discussed. Unless the
local highway commission receives ct
least $4,000 of these funds, sus-
pension of operations in Anderson
county until the 1922 session Of the
state legislature will be necessary,
according to announcement made
yesterday.
In the event that the funds are un-
available, the commission will not
suspend work Immediately, but con-
tinue operating on the several pro-
iects now under construction provided
for under the recent issue Of bonds
in the amount of $4,000.
The good roads bill passed in the
general assembly during their last
session. specifically states that unless
the commission receives federal aid
which, added to the remaining $3.50
600 in bonds which have not yet been
issued, will be sufficient to complete
the projects of approximately 300
miles of roads in this county, the
bond issue of s25o,ooo will be Invalid.
The bill provides that approximate
ly $4,000 per mile be expended upon
roads provided for in the bill. This
necessitates the commission having at
least s3OO,OO0 available for the COM
pletion of the projects. At least S5O,-
600 is necessary TO enable the COM
mission to proceed with the issue OF
s25O,O0O.

With representatives present from
every town and city on the proposed
route, the Calhoun Highway associa-
ton was organized here Tuesday af-
ternoon at a good roads convention
held in the Masonic hall A constitu-
ton and by laws was adopted, officers
clected, and plans formulated for the
construction and maintenance of 4
highway connecting Athens, Ga,
which is on the Bankhead highway,
with Cheraw, S. c., which is on the
Quebec Miami highway. Strong
speeches of endorsement were made
by leading citizens from the two
states and a spirit of enthusiasm and
determination was in evidence that
bespeaks success for the undertaking.
The proposed highway will run from
Sheraw to Athens, making a parallel
route with the Seaboard road and ira
versing territory of twelve counties
in the two states. The project started
a month ago, is now well under way
as the reports showed from all along
the line. more than 1900 members in
the association having already been
enlisted with the work just commenc-
ed.
The convention was called to order
by the temporary chairman, J. F. ia
cobs, Sr., of this city After giving
brief outline of what had already
been accomplished, the matter of a
permanent organization was entered
into and the delegations to the con-
vention were seated. The bylaws and
constitution as drawn by Mr.. R. E.

adopted.

Plain Murder
Saluda Standard.

Saluda Standard.
Sunday lad 16 years old, driving
an automobile down the wrong side
of street in Greenville at a furious
pace. struck small boy and snu1ted
his life out in the twinkling of an eye,
and fled. The same day an unknown
driver in the same city ran down an
old man and broke his leg. In mel
ther instance did the culprit stop to
inquire about or to minister to the
victim of his juggernaut.
What restitution will these crlml-
nails make? Very little, unless the
courts speedily revise the measures
with which they meet justice.
The man who drives an automobile
in reckless manner or at furious
rate of speed, either in a city or
less populated district, is criminal!
in the same sense as the coward who
packs a gun to defend" himself.
When they are dealt with, the law
should take cogn;zance of this fact:
That they were potential killers be
fore they committed overt wrong.
The most powerful instrument that
the law has for the preservation OF
life and order, is located within
small-vault lie chamber Immediately
behind the penitentiary walls in Co.
lumbia. 1t is the electric chair, the
bulwark of our safety and instltu-
tions.
Thrust one Of these calloused ruf-
fans into it and blase his unfeellng
spirit out of its tenement and others
of his kind will think before they
"step on the gas" Which is of more
worth to community: the citizen
ship of roughnecks like these or free
dom from the menace they perpetu-
ate?
Judges should not impose fines for
speeding. Speeders should be train
ed in the technique OF swinging a
pick. Jurors should be able to detect
murderer whether he pull trigger
or Jam the accelerator. The automo-
bile as useful, even necessary, as 1t IS,
when taxed to the limit of its speed
by an idiot (for no man with the
brain of a ground mole would take
such chances with his own life and
that of others) is as dangerous as
the most destructive anarchistic
bomb. The price of human life IN
South Carolina will rise to price
,prohibitive of its reckless taking when
and when only courts summon CUTS
enough to effectually smite those who
prey upon it.
Let our readers bring this matter
home to themselves, since the menace
also overshadows Saluda county. If
next week, or next month, or next
wear, YOU are called upon to pick up
piece-meal the broken remains of a
loved one, hurled from time into eter-
nifty by a desperate behind a steering
wheel, be calnl-if you can. Don't
lift up your voice in vituperation
against the driver. Be man enough to
place the blame where it belongs
upon your own shoulders. If yo7r
life and that of your loved ones arc
not worth your concern and action in
this matter, have the grace to make
payment unfinchingly when it is de-
manded
