BUSINESS GIRLS
CLUB REHEARSINC
THEIR MINSTREL
Play to be one Of best yet staged.
Date of Performance not
Decided Upon Yet

The young ladies of the Young
Woman's Business Club are getting
down to work in earnest to make the
coming Minstrel this year even a
greater success that it was last year,
and those who attended "Springtime''
last year know that they are going
to see good entertainment. Mrs.
w. f. Benson is, coaching the girls,
and she is almost as enthused over
it as the girls themselves. The songs
are full Of pep, and have a swing
that you will enjoy hearing. There
are about thirty or forty girls, who
are to take part in the play. OF
course, there will be a chorus of
pretty girls, but the dark-town men
in their white sailor, suits, we be-
lieve, will win you with their humor-
Gus sayings and ready wit. No def
mite date has, as yet, been set, but
rehearsals are under way, and the
play will be put on sometime in the
very near future.

MUCH INTEREST is
MANIFESTED IN ROAD
BONDS ISSUE HERE
Good Roads Association Receives
Many Letters Inquiring About
the Proposed Bonds

Atlanta, Ga, June Letters in
curing as to various details of the
proposed state bond issue for good
roads are pouring in upon the Office
of the Georgia Good Roads Associa-
ton, indicating the widespread in
terest being taken in the bonds. One
OF the most frequently asked ques-
lions is: what will the farmer who
lives off the main highways get out
of it,"
The answer is plain: with the main
highways across the counties built
and maintained by the state, with
government aid, the counties will
have their own funds left free for
building and keeping up the other
roads within their own borders. A
vast portion of a county's income is
now expended on the main highways.
The other most frequent question
is Wont the bond issue raise the
farmers taxes?"
The an&wer is equally plain: the
proposed amendments specifically
provide that bonds may be sold only
as fast as the income from the gaso-
line tax and auto license tags will
pay for retiring them. The autom-
oblie owner will bear the whole bur
den of paying for these roads. The
automobiling public is making no OBJ
lection, despite the fact that most
OF the cars owned are in the cities
and town and not a dollar of the
money is to be spent within the city
and town limits.

Mrs. Mary Cox niece.

Mrs. Mary Cox McGee, wife of w.
H. McGee of this place, died Friday

FAVOR BOND issue
FOR GOOD ROADS
COMMITTEE TO PREPARE PLANS
TO BE SUBMITTED TO
LEGISLATURE.

Columbia, Dec. 1.-THE good roads
conference recently called by Gov
ernor Harvey, meeting here today
decided to ask the General Assembi!
to submit a bond issue to the peo,
pie of the state, and preliminary tc
that, selected committee to decide
on the system, the amount of the
issue and other details to be en-
braced in bill it is to prepare and
report back to the conference at a
later date.
The committee, one member fror1
each congressional district, with A
B. Langley of Columbia, a member
of the State Highway Commission
as ex-offcio chairman, is as follows:
First district, w. w. Smoak of Wal
terboro; second, Capt. W. D. Black
of Williston; third, E. P. McCravy
of Easley; fourth, B. H. Peace OF
Greenville; fifth, Col. T. B. Spratt of
Fort Mill; sixth, Col. D. A. Spivey
of Conway, and seventh, Claud n.
Sapp of Columbia.
The conference was unanimous in
the opinion that there should be :;
bond issue submitted to the people,
but there was some doubt as to the
feasibility of naming the amount, is
sues of all the way from $25,000,OOO
to S100,0O0,000 being suggested dur
ing the meeting. However, the
amount was left to the committee,
as was the composition of the road
It was the concensus that, prelim-
mary to any election on bonds, which,
to be successful, must have a ma
jority of two-thirds of the votes cast,
it will be necessary for the people to
know just what roads the state sys-
tenn will embrace; and, further, it
seemed to be the opinion that the
expenditure of funds from the issue
must be divorced entirely from poll
tics, and to that end. it was sug-
gested that the bill provide a COM
mission of prominent and patriotic
business men of the state under
whose direction the proceeds be dis
bursed.
The conference was one of the
most representative Of the many such
gatherings held at Columbia in re-
cent years, and bespoke the intense
interest the people are taking in the
matter of permanent, improved high
ways. There were approximately $50
Of the leading business and profess
sional men and women of the state

tically all the cities.

REFUSES TO TAKE
UP JEFFORD'S Case
IRA HARRISON MAY GO BEFORE
THE STATE SUPREME
COURT.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE supreme
court of the United States will not
review the conviction of Frank M.
Jeffords for the murder of ]. G.
Annette at Columbia last spring, it.
was announced today by Chief Justice
Taft.
Jesse B. Adams, a Washington at
torney, presented to the chief justice
in chambers last night motion for
writ of error. Adams contended
that Jeffords who is under sentence
to die in the electric chair Decem-
Der %, was not given a fair trial
guaranteed under the state and fed
eral constitutions.
The chief justice passed on the
motion because he. has jurisdiction
over the circuit which embraces South
Carolina. His refusal to grant the
writ, which would have given JEFF
fords an opportunity to have the su-
preme court review his case, was
made known during the days session
of the court.
