ONE SOUTHERN STATE
AHEAD IN ITS GOOD
ROADS BUILDING

BY awarding contracts for 20
road projects recently, the North
Carolina State Highway commits
sion brought its lettings this year
to Lila miles, or ia miles more
than the goal Of 1000 miles, set
for 1922. The total cost of the
new road construction authorized
in North Carolina during the first
eight months of this year will eX-
coed $22,000,000, or nearly one
half of the $5O,OOO,OOO provided by
the state for new roads during the
first five-year period.
With these last awards, North
Carolina has set up a record for
road building for one year that has
never been equalled. Since jan
uary I, contracts have been let
for SOS miles of hard surfaced
roads - principally asphalt - and
SAG miles of gravel roads. The
state road program inaugurated in
1919 is about half completed, since
1900 miles of new roads are now
cor. pleted or under contract In
addition to this mileage the North
Carolina system includes many
miles of good roads built by the
counties,

THE CROSS COUNTRY
MOTORING Is NOW
A POPULAR PASTlME

\ recent dispatch from Los
Angeles, Calf. says: Motorists
touring to southern California this
winter will find a new service to
aid them in exploring the varied
recreation grounds. Cooperating
with the chambers of commerce
which have dotted southern Cal
ifornia with convenient auto
camps. the Automobile club of
southern California, with branch
es i'm every stable town, has add
ed a special department exclusive
ly for the use of motorists who
wish to find the choicest loca-
lions on the trout streams, lakes
and hunting grounds.
The new department is under
the direction of an experienced
and expert forester, who has
been for seven years with the
government, making investiga-
tons of fish, game and forests,
along the Pacific coast.
With the signposting Of the
highways leading to Los Angeles
from the middle west, auto tour
list travel has been increasing al
most ZOE per cent a year since
the war The ans-continental
journey, once a feat for the ex-
pert. is now an ordinary vaca-
ton procedure for the average
auto driver. The southern route
to California is open the year
round, enabling motor tourists TO
the land of oranges to indulge IN
the popular winter pastime Of

NATIONAL CONFERENCE CALLED 70
STUDY THREE BILLION DOLLAR
FEDERAL ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM

roadbuildiug program within Inc
next fifteen or twenty years than
the colleges at present are turning
out. according to indications of the
situation as gathered by the board.
There will he a much heavier de-
mand for trained highway engl-
neers than there will be for engl-
ueers trained in railroad work, a
branch of the profession to which
institutions attach great import
anCe. The entire structure of the
American highway system, with
the exception of the roads built OF
commenced during the past sin
years, is yet to be built, Opportuni-
ties for men of right training, in
the boards opinion, will continue
for many years as numerous as
they are today.
The board is advised by the but
reau of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, inst
the federal aid program of high
ways -- improved highways built
with the aid Of federal funds-will
extend over n period of fifteen to
twenty years and contemplates the
construction of about 10000 miles
of highways at a cost of $1,000
100000. 1t is estimated that the
states and smaller units Of govern
ment, such as counties and cities,
will at least equal this great out
lay. As the board sees the future,
therefore, q $4,000, 100000 indus
try, the newest major industry of
the country, needs and will con
tinue to need for a long time TO
come men of practical, technical
training to direct its work. 1t Is
this class of men whom the board
is seeking to make available.
A high percentage of educators
from colleges conducting highway
engineering courses will be present
at the forthcoming conference and
will then meet and exchange ideas
with government and other Off
Gals directly in charge Of road
building.

PUBLIC SEES CARS
AS BASIC NECESSITY

THE astonishing maintenance
and increase of the car market
through recent months proves one
thing conclusively-tha the car is
everywhere regarded as a basic
utility" said a prominent automo-
bile distributor.
ITO more than half the Ameri-
can people the car is an essential
factor to be reckoned with the
same as other necessities of bust
ness or living. AS such 1t has be-
come far less seasonal in its char
actcr. IT is an year round neces-
sity.
an the light of this. the big de-
mand for cars in any month is not
so remarkable.
"The general adoption Of the
closed car with its superior COM
fort and serviceability in every
month of the year. has had much
to do with this. With the prom
Use of still greater prosperity on
every hand the normal automobile
market will probably not have to
reckon with seasons as heretofore.

An overnight demand for trained
men far in excess of properly quail
flied applicants has resulted from
the rapid growth Of the newest OF
the engineering arts, highway con-
struction. according to the high
way education board. The board S
findings of conditions in the new
industry, together with Il state
ment showing the needs of the Iu-
ture. are to be placed before the
forthcoming national conference,
to which the board has invited gov

lives of automotive industries and
other interested persons. The con-

Highway engineering is taught
a survey by the board disclosed, in
approximately 1870 educational In
stitutions in the United States. In
many of these institutions, however.
the course is admittedly made
quate. 1t is the purpose of the
board to bring these educational
institutions into touch with the lat
est developments of the art, and
through methods to be devised at
the forthcoming conference, to
keep highway engineering courses
abreast of approved and modern
practices.
Demand for highway engineers
comes from state and federal Or
carnations and bureaus, from mu-
inequalities 49, latest figures show
that there are approximately 90
600 town and city engineers and
officials whose duties are similar to
those of such engineers-from
highway contractors and industries
making road building materials.
The board hopes. through coopera-
tion with colleges, to bring about
an adequate supply of men for the
several branches of the work.
More highway engineers will be
wanted to meet the demands of the

''Of the total power of the motor
in an automobile, part Is absorbed
in the mechanism of the car" says
DR.. w. c. Geer, in his unusual book
THE Reign of Rubber. The re-
nainder. estimated TO be more
than so per cent, is transmitted TO
the rear tires to be expended in
pushing the machine against the
wind, up hill, and against other re-
sistances.
Driving over bricks, and bumps,
lodging around automobiles at the
side of the road, our tires are sub
iected to power as well as dead
load and to sudden changes in
strain. These jerks, bumps, and
cuts by rough stones on the roads
edge that let water into the fab
ric, are the killing forces that de-
stroy tires. If tires were treated as
most OF our property is. we should
carefully guard them month by
month.
THE older ones should be sifted
from the position of greatest work,
namely, the rear to the front; for
we should think of them as old
faithful horses to be gradually re-
tired to easier jobs, while the
younger ones are called upon TO
carry the heaviest burdens.
How much work does a tire do?
If one -thirty-two by four inch tire
on the rear wheel of a car carry
ing a load of fifteen hundred
pounds runs ten thousand miles
up A per cent grade. the work
it has TO do, engineers tell US. is
2026 horsepower hours.
This is equivalent to lifting
more than four billion pounds OF
stone up one foot. The computa-
ton, however, to be sure, assumes
the tire to be on the upgrade all
the way; but if it goes upgrade
only one quarter of the time, the
work done would lift the Washing
ton Monument about twelve feet.
When your tire goes one hun.
dred miles. it does as much work
as you would do if you shoveled
220 tons of coal into your second
story window. During such a jot

1901.
(Greenville News)

John w. Gregory, deputy clerk of
court of Union county, has a recor rd
that probably can not be equaled in
the state in that he has held the posi-
tion for almost 22 years. Mr.. Greg.
ory served under number of diff
ferent officials, including the preser.
& ERIK Of court, r. c. Williams, who as
Snmed Office about six years ago.
With the exception of one term
spent in the legislature, in the early
'90s, Mr.. Gregory has never held
any elective office, although he has
heen active in every move for the
bctterment of his town and commun-
ity. He has been a member of the
Methodist church since mere youth
end for 32 consecutive years was su-
perintendent of the Methodist Sunday
school, at his home in Santuc, this
county. He also served as a steward
Tor many years.
Mr.. Gregory was once offered the
position of deputy collector of inter-
nal revenue, which carried with it
much larger salary than the position
lie then held. The offer was declined,
f"wever, and since the early day of
l9O1 Mr.. Gregory has been ION the
Job" as deputy clerk Of court in the
{ Cnion court house.
Mr.. Gregory is II years of age
and is the father of ten children, the
youngest of whom is "a years of age,
and the eldest A. For 25 years he
served as a trustee of one of the
schools in this county. In addition
to his duties as assistant clerk Mr..
Gregory is secretary and treasurer
Of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
company, which has nearly $1,0O0,000
of insurance in force in Union and
Spartanburg counties.
Work is Mr.. Gregory's "hobby" and
the manner in which he has preserved
his youth and health, looking ten
years younger than he really is, would
indicate this plan pays big dividends.

'are announced today in its final crop
report of the year.
Their value is $l,842, 2,978,OOO more
than last years crops, rejecting i'm
ffoVement in prices for farm products
prevailing now as compared with a
year ago and increased production in
some crops. This years farm produc-
ton Is worth about the same as that
CT 1916 but is lower than 1920 bv
about $1,5O0,O 100000, and lower than
&ny year since 1915, except last wear.
1t is only little more than half as
inuch as the record value year of 1919.
Record production was made this
year IN rye, white potatoes, sweet DO.
tatoes and hay. Other bumper crops
lhls year were rice, the third largest
production; tobacco, with the fourth
largest crop in history; wheat with
the fifth largest production, and corn
with its seventh largest crop. Cotton
this year is the fourth most valuable
crop Of that staple ever grown, al
though small crop in point of pro.
auction.
Corn, as usual, is the country's most
valuable crop being worth this wear
S10O,OO0,O00 more than last year with
total value of $1,9OO,2s7, 900. Cotton
stands second with $1,368,517,OOO che

the third most valuable crop with a
total of 81 1881 $4,000. No other crop
reached billion dollars in value this
year. Wheat was valued at 1864 600
standing as fourth most valuable crop
of the country.
In today's final estimates, based on
revision to conform with the census

CALLS GOVERNORS
TO WHITE HOUSE

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va.
Dec l5.-Governors of states now;n

personal invitation from President
Harding by long distance telephone
tonight to be his guests at luncheon
at the White House Monday with the
''ew' 1t is understood, of discussing
among other subjects prohibition.
me message was received by Cover
nor Sproul of Pennsylvania, who pro-
ceeded to communicate the invitation
70 the other governors and they at
once took the matter under consid-
Grafton.
Recently it was announced the
president intended to call a confer
ence of the governors of the states
some time next month to discuss
with them and administration officials
the prohibition question and the invi
tatlon tonight was understood to be
with the view of advancing the date
OF the meeting as most of the state
executives were so close at hand.
1t is doubtful, however, if all the
governors here can accept the invi-
'ation because of previous engage
ments. Gov. John M. Parker of Lou
lsiana, who discussed the prohibition
question in conference address yes
tcrday and urged that the White
House conference be held some time
TINS month, said he had to leave for
louisiana at once. He expressed
pleasure, however, that the president
had seen fit to extend the invitation.
ieiterating that if the conference
"ere to be held in January many of
the governors would find it difficult
to attend because of the sessions of
their legislatures.
Late tonight it was understood that
the following governors expected to
attend the Monday conference:
Kilby of Alabama, Campbell of
Arizona, Denney of Delaware, Davis
of Idaho, McCray of Indiana, Allen
of Kansas, Richie Of Maryland,

During the business session the club
voted to join the National Federation
of Music Clubs, and will probably
send representatives to the state con-
test in Greenville. The club is also
interested in the fact that the con-
vention of the National Federation of
Music Clubs will be held in Asheville
In June. They also voted to present
to the Carnegie Free Library a num-
Der of musical books.
The club will continue their chorus
work and committee will be ap-
POINTED by the president to select and
order new chorus for the club.
Mrs. Lee Kennedy led the program
for the afternoon. The first on the
program was the story of "Eliland''
and also a sketch of the life of Alex
ander Won Fielitz by Mrs. D. M.
Eaves.
Following this Mrs. Kennedy sang
a cycle of song, assisted by Mrs. w.
II. Hope. Mrs. Turner and Miss
Fanny Duncan sang "The Venetian
Regatta" which was enjoyed by all.
The program was quite different
from previous programs and quite in
teresting. The club showed their ap-
rrec!a1ioa by their generous ap-
plause.
