to the advances made in the field Of passenger

-rhe Port Authority plan calls for the expendi-
ture of S200,000,000 in improved freight terminals
and tunnels-it is conceded that BY the time this
money is expended traffic will have caught up and
passed the new facilities provided for it While this
plan is being worked out other plans should be
under way SO that New York will meet every de-
mand of the west and promote its own progress

Railway men generally agree with Mr.. Lee that
when the normal volume of business is resumed the

upon them and they cannot by any possibility be
made equal to that duty except as a well balanced
system of transportation is planned and devel-

Striving After Excellence

Tho great English statesman. VIII
liam e. Gladstone. is quoted as say.
ing:
But now let Us not conceive that,
because the lovo Of beauty finds for
itself a place in the general heart OF
mankind, therefore we need never
make it the object of a special atten-
ton or put in action special means to
promote and to uphold it For after
all. our attachment to it is a matter OF
degree. and OF degree which experience
has shown to be In different places
and at different times, indefinitely
variable. We may not be able 10 re
produce the age OF Pericles, or even
that which is known as the Cirque
cento; but yet 1t depends upon our
own choice. whether we shall or shall
not have a title to claim kindred, how

We can mako it. When DIR. johnson
was asked by Mr.. Boswell. how he
had attatned to his extraordinary ex-

he had no other rule or system than

petual striving after excellence on the

The WAY TO the Sea

As A RULE the New York state newspapers, es-
L peciaIly this down state papers have shown moth
ing but prejudice against the st Lawrence water
way project, if not abolute unfairness to it. 1t
IS therefore rather pleasant to come in contact with
the following article ON the subject in the Pough-
keepsie Courier, which deals senibly, broadly and
with eminent fairness to the international project:
For more than a generation the west has been
seeking the way to the sea in ships. This survival
of an old notion has brought into being recent en-
thusiastic support in that section of the Great
Lakes7St Lawrence waterway project. The west is
growing-it has greater wants and needs. New
York viii heed its call.
Effective transportation depends upon speed
and volume and the railroads if provided with the
proper terminal facilities can do much more for the
west than may be accomplished by any system of

The Railroad Strike

THE SHoP and track employees of the railroads
IL no. out on strike have so far gained nothing
in public sympathy and support. They strike
against a slight reduction in their pay ordered by
the federal labor board.
The public demanded and through the Interstate
commerce commission and the railroads have re-
ceived substantial reduction In freight rates. This
was necessary to the general welfare.
Railroad earnings in the meantime showed that
rates could not be reduced without reducing the Ia
Dor cost of conducting transportation

The order of the board also left the pay Of COM
mon railroad track labor from 555 to 65.7 per cent
higher than in 1917.
Since 1917 the rates of pay of railroad employees
have been fixed entirely either by the United States
Railroad Administration or the United States Rail
road Labor board, both of them representing the
government, which after all is the people During
and in fact subsequent to the close of the war the
pay of railroad labor was increased. Three times
orders were issued making large increases until the
labor cost of transportation consumed more than
60 cents. of every dollar taken in by the railroads.
With a pronounced fall in the cost of living and
that rates might be reduced, business revived and
the pay of railroad labor brought down nearer to a
lGvel with that obtaining in other industries, the
labor board has ordered two reductions in rates of
pay but the three increases previously received were
so great that even after two reductions the rates of
pay of shop and track labor are still about so per
cent higher than in 1917 whereas as shown by gov
ornament reports the cost of living is but IL per cent
higher.
During and since the war railroad employees
cheerfully accepted the orders of the administrative
and labor board giving them an increase. The gen
seral public already oyer-burdened bore the burden
of these increases without complaint.
The strike may continue indefinitely or be
brought up short by government agencies. Proper
means for adjustments of just such matters as
these have been provided and are fair orderly and
just to all concerned. That will be one reason for
Withholding public support. Another viii be the
right of the unemployed to work at jobs deserted
by others. The sentiment, that a man has a right
to work and earn a living for his family regardless
of the orders of so-called labor leaders, is rapidly
spreading over the country.
All organizations will do well to readjust them
selves to this one fundamental principle-the right
to work and the right to Iive-if they hope to sur
vive.

MIR. Dewey Funderburk's Barns Burn

About twelve o'clock Wednesday
night fire destroyed the two barnse
and a crib of Mr.. Dewey Funderburk
at his place in Buford township.
Mr.. Funderburk travels about the
country baling hay for the public and
was in Monroe that night with Mr..
d. C. Reader. His family were spend
ing the night with a neighbor, Nal
Threatt. A neghbor, Mr.. Wiley Dav-
is, saw the flames and gave the alarm
and Messrs. John Mangum and others
ran over as quickly as possible.
When they got there the roofs of
both the barns, some hundred yards
apart, were falling in. There were
signs that the fire was incendary,
for the cows, which had been kept
in the barn and had not been in the
pasture in several days, were found
in the pasture. Mr.. Funderburk had
his work stock with him and did
not know of the fire until six o'clock
the next morning. A great deal of
baled hay, one load of corn, some cot
ton seed, and other stuff was burn
ed. One of the barns was new. There
was a very small amount of insur-
ance.

Bivens Succeeds Mccain on the
Board of County Commissioners

At noon today Clerk of the Court
R. W. Lemmond appointed W. d.
Bivens to fill the unexpected term
OF DIR. W. X. Mccain as member of
the Board of County Commissioners.
Mr.. Bivens has just concluded two
terms as commissioner and is a most
capable and experienced man. The
following letter explains itself:
To Hon. John Griffith and Hon.
A. A. Secrest, two of the county Com
missioners of Union Co.

bers, and the law casting upon me

fill out DR.. McCain's unexpired term.
| do hereby nominate and appoint
W. d. Bivens to the office Of County
Commissioner to fill out the unexpir-
ed term of DR.. w. R. Mccain.
| conceive this to be my plain duty
for several reasons among which are:
Mr.. Bivens was candidate for
the office of commissioner in the last
primary and liked only a few votes
receiving the nomination, and with
drew in favor of DIR. Mccain who
was elected at the last general cleo

tion.. Mr.. Bivens persued this course
although he was the high man, and
he thus saved the county the expense
Of second primary.
Also, since it has been known that
DR.. Mccain would resign and thus
create vacancy, knowing that the
duty would devolve upon me to fill the
vacancy BY appointment, | have made
very diligent and painstaking ef-
fort to ascertain who the people of
the county would have me appoint to
that place and it appears, as best |
can learn, that fully three-fourths if
rot four-ffths of the people who have
talked with me and wrote and petit
toned me recommended and urged me
to appoint Mr.. Bivens to the position.
In appointing Mr.. Bivens | feel
sure that | am not only appointing
the choice of the people as expressed
to me, but that | am appointing a
clean, honest, level-headed man who
has the interest of the county at
heart and who will make a most ex-
cellent commissioner and | also feel
that am following the rule of
Democracy in appointing a man who
in the last primary was the high man

primary.-R. W. Lemmond. c. S. C.
