WHO WANTS THE UNDERPASS,
AND WHY DO THEY WANT 1T?

AND WHY DO THEY WANT IL +!
To the Editor:
Many have expressed themselves,
through the paper and otherwise, as
being decidedly against it but no-one
has championed it openly or spoken
in it's favor publicly hence, we wonder
who wants the thing anyway.
AS 1 see it, it will be sorter of a
"Piggly-Wiggly" and presumably safe
yet, to work ones way through will
require considerable time and some
hazard, especially in wet and foggy
weather, therefore those feeling they
must hurry along will prefer to take
the old routes.
It is recommended that, if we must
have the costly burden thrust upon
us, we pass an ordinance prohibiting
anyone using either of the then re-
naming ten grade crossings through
the city except at such times as the
great tunnel may contain more than
four feet of water (more than four
feet of water would likely rain out the
motors in trucks and cars) otherwise
paw a fine of $1OO for each offense
to the city government.
It might be well, in case this thing
is carried through, that we install
several more such aqueducts. Say one
at Rock Spring and Garnett-Sprlng
street and Garnett-William, still an
other at Chavasse Avenue and Will
liam street Such will be in fairness
to all concerned, or nearly so, and
would probably prevent the feared
overflow at Charles street in front OF
our High School property.
It cannot be believed that single
nerson would he in~favor of the chasm

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

Today's degree bestows broad views
and wide sympathies; with a proper
admixture of favoring aspects this
day might produce a great teacher
in some unusual line. There is love
of friends, which is not likely to be
properly appreciated by them, and
met by opposition. Seek to curb the
desires for sensuous pleasures; there
is indication of trouble thereby.

himself that he should 60 down and
pay his bill and get out.
And was aware that he intended
doing nothing Of the sort.
When the hour for meeting Joan
neared, Deeds began to give his route
serious thought. Undoubtedly she
would leave from the front door and
walk up, the beach. She would be in
plain sight Of every one. although she
had selected o time when most Of the
people in the house would be having
their siesta. Not likely that anybody
would follow her.

would keep the tryst on the beach.
But he busted himself with all the
reasons he could think Of why he
shouldn't put in ar appearance. If
Joan didn't appear at the table, 1t
would be much kinder to slip away
without seeing her. He could carry
his bags up to NAPLES and catch o
bus from the station.
Maybe it would be best to eat lunch
at the usual time. II everybody was
at the table, 1t might be easier to con-
ceal the fact that he wasn't at the
top of his form. Joan would be the
one he would find it hard to face.

If it's the last thing I ever do. You've
told me that I count for something,
unless unless that's all joke,
too. 1t isn't, is it?"
A shake of the head against his

to push him away and he held hel
more tightly.

"Understand!' she painted weakly
She had lifted her head from hi

quietly. "It won't change things with

He felt himself grow suddenly tense

Deeds McCune never regained 9

WEDDING THEM OUT

The Greenwood Index-Journal brings up I'd
Their interesting point in discussing the distributor
of relief among unemployed persons Throughout
the country. 1t suggests that there are many peo'
nIe con relief" who probably would not be there
if the matter of administering relief were IN the
hands of local instead of federal authorities
II cites a case in point, the state of New Jersey
where relief was taken over by the state and zo'
600 families removed from the reIleA roiiS
and nobody is suffering.
In every county in South Carolina, perhaps
there are persons receiving aid today who are MOI
entitled to it. Many of them could lind private ell
ployment if they want it, but they would rathel
swing on the federal sugar teat
In connection with the relief situation Inc In
dex says:
Most people who consider the relief SITUATION II
an impartial way soon reach the conclusion tha
even though there be very real need Tor rehe1 lo'
neople out of work still many more people nave
been nut on relief who would not be there II th'
matter of meeting the cost was in the hands o.
local units instead of being met by the federal gov
eminent.

The State of New Jersey has been struggling tt

In few weeks over $4,000 families have beer
dropped from the relief rolls in New Jersey. I'M
means approximately 100000 individuals have
been dropped.
And no one is suffering. Those who were drop

STRATEGY
A clever move to win battle
without a fight and without using
the steam roller was made at the
recent Republican convention.
Governor Landon had certain
convictions about the Republican
platform. But, though his sup
porters dominated the committee
which was writing the platform,
he was unable to get certain OF
his ideas into that document with
out causing split in the platform
committee and a fight on the plat
form when it was read to the con-
vention. SO the platform was so
Worded that it received the unanl-
nous support of the platform COM
mittee and of the convention.
After the platform had been
adopted by the entire convention
and the possibility of fight on
it had been removed. John ID. M.
Hamilton, at the beginning of his
nominating speech, read> to the
entire convention a telegram from
Governor Landon in which the
governor said frankly that if he
was to be the presidential nOmi-
ness of the Republican party, he
wished it distinctly understood
that he would place certain inter-
pretations on certain features of
the platform. Then he proceeded
to interpret those features in such
way that he could, if elected,
carry out~his ideas.
By that strategy the platform
itself did not become an issue.
The only question before the dele
gates was, "Shall we choose Gov
ernor Landon as our standard
bearer since we know what inter-
