The Commi th an oi

these fgiures it .d ' i r. •• mpiled.
.now cor-es tiv i.i. \ . i’or some :v.i- i:n-j
known to us, at the next meeting of the Com
mission, and before the survey was completed,
final action on our bridge was taken. We v ■ : not
notified that it would even be discussed, much
less acted upon. The reason given was that the
Commission felt a terrible burden of responsibility
upon its shoulders. They craved to give us a new
bridge before the next moon and before another
accident. The quickest thing, they decided, was
a new bridge on the old piers of the present
bridge.
But today comes the tidings that this hasty
action was all for naught. It will cost too much
to use those old piers. The fast workers are back
where they started from.
Another burst of speed which breaks all re
cords was the sudden, suspiciously sudden, ac
tion in changing the road markers and taking
Route 40 and Federal Highway 17-1 from us and
placing them on a road which will not be open
ed for another year.
We sincerely hope that this piece of haste
will be just as foolish and wasteful as has the
others. They have taken backwater on the bridge
proposition and it only makes us the more deter
mined to get Route 40 back and more confident
that the mighty can be and are just as often just
as wrong in their judgment and actions as the
dumbells they represent.
We are getting sick and tired of the arbitrary
and high-handed policies of those who gain a lit
tle power. They need some checking, if only in
this matter of speedy and unjustified decisions.

COTTON CLOTHES
Consic ule stress was laid upon the matter
of clothes at the convention of t:i • South Carolina
Cotton Manufacturer’s Association at Myrtle
Beach, the suits worn by the men and the dress
es worn by the women affording subject for di
’ ision ot talk between sartorial and business af
fairs. About 300 delegates attended and all were
arrayed in cotton—ducks, sail cloth, poplins, seer
sucker, crash and gabardines giving evidence to
the variety possible for cotton suitings. President
Marchant, ot the State Association, wore a white
cotton crash, with a small pin stripe, while Presi
dent Sloan, of the Cotton Textile Institute, was
arrayed in a gabardine coat with white duck
trousers. The Greenville and Spartanburg dele
gations “presented a new note in harmony,” some
wearing plain white and others wearing white
with black pin stripe cottons. The variety for
the women included flowered cotton, net, voile
and organdy. The cotton manufacturers are thus
taking the lead in showing the people how good
it looks to bo dressed in cotton and they have set
an example that is being fast followed over the
country—The Charlotte Observer.

SOME COAL!
Is mired to sell, some to fur

kind. It is the real thing, not
an apology. It is carefully
screened from all dirt, dustm
screened to free it from all
dirt, dust or slag and is by all
odds the most economical fuel
for heating and cooking pur
