HIGHWAY ENGINEER
RESIGNS HIS POST
LETTER TO MACDONALD CAUS-
ES ACTION-MEMBER OF
COMMISSION SAYS IT saw
ORS OF MAKING A GOAT
OUT OF MR.. MOOREFIELD."

Columbia, Feb. 7.-Charles H..
Moorefeld, state highway engineer,
has placed in the hands of the
chairman of the state highway
commission, R. Goodwin Rhett,
his resignation, effective at the
pleasure of the commission. It was
understood last night that unless a
special meeting of the state high
way commission is called previously
Mr.. Moorefeld's resignation will be
acted upon at he regular meeting,
which will be held week. from to-
day.
Mr.. Moorefeld's action grows
out of the construction put upon
letter written by him to Thomas d.
Macdonald, chief of the federal bu-
reau Of public roads, a copy of
which was submitted to members
of the ways and means committee
of the house last week, when high
way matters were under eonsidera-
ton before that committee.
Certain leaders in the general as
sembly have insisted that such a.
letter was an indiscretion on the
part of Mr.. Mooreield. In tender
ing his resignation to Mr.. Rhett,
chairman of the highway commits
son, Mr.. Moorefeld expressed his.
willingness to retire if his elimina-
ton would harmonic elements that
have been opposing the he.--highway
department and its program. It is
understood that certain leaders in
the house and the senate have as
sured Governor Cooper that Mr..
Moore6eld's retiement would elm
mate the fight on the highway de-
partment. -
Charles o. Hearon, of Spartan
burg, member Of the state highway
commission, who was in Columbia
yesterday, expressed surprise at
the turn the fight on the state high
way department. had taken in the
demand for the resignation Of Mr..
Moorehead, state highway engin-
eer. It is possible, he said, that Mr..
Moorefeld's letter might have been
an indiscretion, but in no way, in
dicated disloyality or lack of inter-
est in. the development of highways
in South Carolina. Mr.. Hearon sug-
gested that the legislature should
have legislated the whole commits
sion out of office rather than pick
out the engineer. That sort of thing
he said would not build or maintain
any system of state highways.

SCHOOL. TRUSTEES
CALLED TO MEET

Paul II. Mann, superintendent of
education, has sent out a call to
trustees of all the schools in the
county to meet in the court house
Saturday morning at Ito o'clock.
The purpose Of the meeting, Mr..
Mann says, is to discuss the finan-
cial conditions that are now
threatening to. close up most of the
schools of the county. Funds to the
credit of most all of the schools are
already depleted the superintend-
ent says, though some. of the
schools may be continued with, the
money coming from the state. Sew
eral schools have already been
closed and many more will not be
able to run longer than this month,
if that long, without private aid.
Several of the negro schools of
the county have raised money by
public subscription and their
schools will run longer than many
Of the white schools. More than
5000 has been turned in to the
county treasurer in this manner.
Mr.. Mann does not anticipate
that any arrangement will be made
to continue the schools for period
longer than is justified by the bal
ance with the treasurer. He will
imply put the matter squarely up
to the trustees at the meeting Sat-
urday.

PLAY Lacks Irish Color.

Fiske OHara, Irish singer. was
greeted by a goodly sized audience
az the Oliver theater Monday night
when he presented The Happy
Cavalier"
Il was a good vehicle for Mr.
O'Hara, wholesome and clean, but
withal a poor picture Of Irish life.
For one who has seen The White
Headed Boy the play is an inslpid
thing.
Nevertheless, 0Ir O'Hara has a
robust tenor voice that is altogether
charming. His For I'm Always in
Love With Someone" was easily the
hit OF the play. a charming song with
a tuneful, whistleable chorus which
the audience liked.
And. too. as the gallant cavalier
Mr.. O'Hara is az his best. witty and
humorous 10 a marked degree.
The company supporting him Is
fair, the character OF Molly being
especially praiseworthy.
The play is in four acts. two
scenes. Responding 10 an encore
