Representatives ' from - Barnes ville, Proctorville, "McDonald and -Board-man. The Hon.' Joer A.". Brown of Chad bourn, was present and made a speech welt worth hearing, as noted below. The meeting was called In behalf: of the" Calhoun Highway association, of which there is a local xlub het9. Mf.l liannan, vice president, of tne soutn Carolina Calhoun- Highway associa tionV was present and presented facts before the audience, that were pleas ing and f most ' interesting; He made special stress; on the f Calhoun high way and how , It ; effects Fairmont". 1 He showed that the Calhoun highway was hot Just a small stretch of road to be built of concrete through a sec tion of South Carolina and; North Carolina, but that it was . a trans continental highway with ; terminals at Wilmington on the Atlantic Coast, and San Diego,! California,:, on the Pacific, He further stated that t one reason for its soon becoming a reality was that the military authorities , in Washington were back of the proposi- Lcn mainly because it was or would be Jhe. nly Southepi trans-continen tal highway open twelve months in the year and, too, : it would intersect all the highways running North and South. His heart and soul seem to be. in , the work ; as he , showed . that , he wanted a memorial of stone in his honor but that he wanted this stone to be soiled by the footprints of the children going to church and school and by wagon wheels and car wheels. .4 What Proposed Highway Means Hon; Joe A. Brown was next intro duced, by. Chairman., E. Fisher . and made one. of , those ; ,sgeeches v that Fairmont people alwaya enjoy.-- He showed, whereby it was a settled fact that the W. CeA.; highway y would run i from : Boardman I to' Wilmington by Chadbourn and Whiteville and that he was especially anxious to see the Calhoun .; highway. ! come v through Fairmont and connect with the other highway at Boardman. He asked Mr. Hannah just what amount of work was now being' done on the Calhoun high way and was informed that over one half million. dollars worth was. under construction. He also showed the enormous freight ' rates now being charged by the railroads " and . said with emphasis that if the highways of. the ; country . were built according to the undertaking and programs the railroad could, go to and he had to use a gesture here; to signify where Then Mry Hannah stated again that tne . radiophones would be installed in every town where there was a chapter or : club of the . association and Mr. Mclver then explained just what was, meant by a radio wireless telephone,: Several of the local men made , short talks, including a most interesting talk . by Lawyer ,V. .
