MILL, June 2 (Spe Along: Life's High-Ways (Continued From Page Four) ABBEVILLE The Washington Merry-Go Round Contlnued From Page Fourf It was due largely to the operations of the Public Works Administration, which has been much more active in recent months than Is generally known. Under orders of the President, PWA quietly set in motion a number of projects in the more hard-hit sections of the coun h.

Illustrative of the effect this gov time we have a deep conviction that the wIbIich of the citizens of the community which you are serving, ln the capacity of const ructing a new building' such as ours, should receive and I am sure will receive due, consideration, it has been the writer's privilege to observe a goodly number of federal in different parts of the country which are housing the joint postal and federal courts facilities and I do not recall ever having seen a similar type building as is now proposed for our city. I am sure that your architectural department is Indeed a capable and efficient one and while It la true that our No. Plan would en i an Yacht, the Racquet and the Coffee'House, Lambert entered the New Deal fold as a result of hit friendship with Stewart McDonald, able chief of the Federal Housing Born in St. Louis, Lambert Intended to make architecture his life work. But shortly after graduating from Columbia School of Architecture, he had to assume charge of the pharmaceutical company which his and he became a leading business! man.

Lambert's friendship with McDonald arose but of this interest and their mutual enthusiasm' over blooded horses. Lambert breeds thoroughbreds on his Urge estate near BerryvUle. Va. Between talks over horses, McDonald propounded his Ideas for promoting large-scale housing projects, either for sale or rent, through FHA financing. FHA activity of this tjpe has been lagging and McDonald began urging Lambert to Join his staff.

A few weeks ago he evented on one condition, that he work without salary. ernment "pump priming" has had on building are the May statistics. In May. 1937. public construction was only $93,000,000.

but jumped to 8143.000,000 In May of this year. On the other hand, private building for May, 1937. was 8151.000.000 while this year It had sagged to Even this total is an excellent showing in comparisan to the cellar-low Indexes of most other Industries. Government experts attribute the relatively high level of private building during May chiefly to the Federal Housing Administration, which promoted 883.000.000 In residential construction, just 81,000,000 under the peak in the same month last year.

Six months ago REA financed ex tension of power lines through Cow Creek Valley, Idaho. Rancher Wal ter J. Parker for the iirst time was able to have "Juice" in his ranch home. A few days ago Mrs. Parker gave birth to a baby girl, prematurely.

Rancher Parker knocked a box to pieces and built a 'crude Incuba tor, with a little hinged door and holes in top and bottom for ventilation. Inside he rigged an electric paw with a variable heating unit, and a thermometer to gauge the heat. On the electric pad lies little Sylvia May Parker, pride of her parents and Pride of the Rural Electrification Administration.

Strolled out from the Presbyterian college campus one afternoon thinking to take a short tour of the city of Clinton. Never felt more at home anywhere In. the state. Hadn't gone but a few blocks 'till I ran on our Greenwood boys' In a hard match with Clinton. Passed a church and heard an old friend from Nashville making a talk.

Almost every block there'd be someone asking If riding wouldn't be better than walking. Was hailed at the newspaper office by editor-manager factotom, W. W4 Harris; at the orphanage by several acquaintances. Seemed more like the old home town than Charlotte herself. If we.

walked more maybe we'd see more friends and live longer. Certainly we would live more. SENTENC ED TO DIG FI.OItE.VCE, June 25 W) L. 0. Goodman, 24 year old negro, was sentenced today by Circuit Judge L.

Relief His Issue Charles Sawyer opens antl-Davey campaign Relief becomes a paramount Issue in Ohio's torrid Democratic gubernatorial primary campaign. Charles Sawyer, of Cincinnati, former lieutenant governor, open-log his speaking campaign In Cleveland, asserted that responsibility for the crucial relief situation in Cleveland and other cities was the fault of Gov. Martin L. Davey, anti-New Dealer, running for renomlnatlon.

Sawyer charged that while others work on the relief problem, "the governor Is either In Columbus hurling the moat bitter epithets at the mem-ben of the legislature with whom he should be co-operating or It wandering over the atate on campaign junket preceded by four creaming police sirens." A bitter retort was expected from the i i fBauers, Tbtato 10 10 0 S9 8 11 27 8 Boston 4 Ab Po A 1 netcher. Jb' 4 1 0 I 1 Cooney. rt Lj. 0 0 0 0 Maggert, 3b 4 0 112 Oarms, 3b. rf 4 3 1 -J 0 West.

One of Victims of Mystery Car Wreck Had Abbeville Connections ABBEVILLE, June 25.

J. Ed Peek, one of the victims in the mystery deaths In Atlanta Tuesday morning in which he and his wife plunged to their deaths to the bottom of a railroad cut near Austell, Georgia well known in Abbe vllle. Mr. Peek was twice married, the first time to former Miss Kate Schroeder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

J. A. Schroeder of' this city, Mr. Peek was a visitor in Abbeville on several occasions and had many friends in this section. Reports from Atlanta today In dicate that both were killed and the automobile then run through a fence over the embankment to the railroad tracks.

Deputy Sheriff George McMillan, conducting an inquiry for Sheriff E. M. Legg, of Cobb county, an nounced he had widened the search by obtaining the aid of Fulton county police in hope of determining the source of the new plow line with which Mrs. Peek was stran gled, and the kerosene that had been poured over her husband's clothing. May Clear the Mystery It appeared probable that definite information on these points would clear up any doubt whether the Atlanta traveling salesman and Ids wife were murder victims or whether their deaths resulted from a murder and suicide plan.

The murder and suicide angle was further weakened when Mayes Ward, Marietta mortician, reported that at least fifteen different cuts had been counted on the back of Mr. Peek' head, apparently inflict ed by some instrument "Believe It's Murder" "My opinion is this that It's straight out murder," Coroner John Williams declared late Wednes day morning in the midst of his in vestigatlon. He disclosed that two men, one a former husband and the other former suitor of Mrs. Peek, are to be called before the coroner's jury for Questioning, perhaps as early as Thursday afternoon. He said he understood both men are now in At lanta, but declined to reveal their identity.

News of the tragedy was broken Wednesday morning to Mrs. John Peek, of Atlanta, the victim's aged mother, who had been visiting an other son, H. L. of Memphis. Term, she was not told of her son's death until her return by rail.

She bore up under the shock with great difficulty. Meanwhile the brother had come from Memphis by plane, arriving before his mother. Both H. L. Peek' and another brother, W.

A. Peek, of Atlanta, de dared they were astounded by the manner of their brother's death and could imagine no motive which would lead anyone to plot his de struction. Authorities were puzzled by the fact that one of Mrs. Peek's shoas was found in the car, but the other was missing. She was wearing black pumps with high heels.

State patrolmen and Cobb coun ty police were seeking Wednerday to learn whether or not there is any connection between the Benny Llchtenstein murder several years ago and the slaying Tuesday of Mr, and Mrs. J.

WE DELIVER MILK To The Oregon Pharmacy because they always serve the public with, the tail more architectural problems, I am certain that these problems are not Insurmountable nor would they be so costly as to be unreasonable- I have been advised by one of South Carolina's best known architects that our No. 1 Plan Is entirely practical and feasible but that It would of course require the expenditure of more funds than would a simpler plan. The sum which was ear-marked for the Greenwood building Is as you of course know $325,000.

This includes the cost of land, engineering, and other fees and other incidental expenses as well as the cost of construction of the building. You have arranged for the pur chase of an additional strip of land adjoining the present site for 000, which price Is considerably leos, than an entirely new site would have cost Should you- de molish the present building entirely the net cost of his procedure. after deducting the salvage, would not exceed 15,000, as per an estimate of this made by an official of your division a short time ago. That would then give, you a vacant site, and one of the most valuable ones In' our city, for a total cost of 12,000. We do not feel that you would be derelict In your duty should you decide to tear down the present building entirely, if you deemed that necessary, and build anew from the ground.

We are mindful of the original cost of this building when It was erected about 1912 and we also have a fair Idea of the cost of construct ing a new building today of similar size and proportions. We are not now nor tiaye we ever insisted that you demolish the present building over this present struc ture for the new combination building. 'I hope that we do not appear to you and your associates dogmatic about this matter, but we feel that you gentlemen appreciate the fact that our citizens are very anxious Indeed that our city secure a building commensurate with tho dignity of the undertaking and as you say "particularly appropriate to the tradition of Greenwood." It Is the sincere and conscientious opinion that the plan with which yon are proceeding at present will not meet these, we think, reasonable requirements. Please allow me to request that you withhold further work on the plans for the time being. We would greatly appreciate you sending one of your assistants down here at once so that we might discuss this matter with him on the' spot.

'It would be fine' to have some one from your personal staff It possible to meet with us here. It Is very difficult indeed to convey our Ideas clearly to you In a communication such as this and we shall be glad to arrange for a conference with you and your joint committee. If you deem It necessary, just as early as would be convenient to you gentlemen so that we may be able to present our views to. you in an Intelligent manner. Please advise me promptly as possible about this.

Please, accept our genuine thanfcs for your past consideration and cooperation. We assure you thut we will welcome any and all opportunities to assist you in working out this very fine undertaking for our city to the mutual advantage of all parties concerned. With highest personal regard. I am. Sincerely, E.

Evidence, Including I piece of rope tightly colled around Mrs.

Peek's neck and no ski marks on the road, led to the mur der ''V Asks Federal Building Funds to be Held Up (Continued From Page One) ful to you for your expressed desire to comply with the wishes of the citizens of Greenwood. We all believe that you want to construct a building in our city which the United States government and the people of Greenwood would be proud of and one which would be permanent, serviceable and beautiful, and conforming to the site which you have selected. Since writing you oh May 23rd and Bince receiving your favor of the 16th we have given this matter a great amount of consideration and have illscuHged the project at length with one of South Carolina's most capable architects and with several of our citizens who have had quite a lot of experience in building and landscape work. We have reached the definite conclusion that our Plan No. 1 as explained to you in my letter of May 23rd, or sometbtng very similar, is the only plan for this new project which will make it in keeping with structures which you have erected In other cities, and which will serve the several purposes which this new building would be intended to serve.

Several additional very thorough in-, spections of the grounds comprising the present site and the additional land which you contemplate purchasing have been made and we are sure that the new court building In the rear of the present postofflce building will show up very poorly Indeed, due to the fact that the space between the present' building and the theater building on the adjoining lot Is so small. Even if the new courts building were constructed abutting the theater building the courts building be practically hidden from view. We have been prevlonsly Informed by officials of your division that you do not like to erect buildings closer than a certain minimum distance away from existing private buildings, similar to the dlxtance between the present postoffioe building and the theater building. We have been advised upon sev eral occasions by officials of your division that the new structure to house Greenwood's postofflce and federal court and non-postal ag encies would be built to serve our city for the next' 40 or 60 years and whatever type building Is finally constructed will have to suf fice ror at least that period of time. In view of this fact, I am sure that you and your 'associates appreciate tho desire of the citl-bens of Greenwood to secure a building which will be a qredit to both the United States government and to our city, not only today but some 25 or more years In the future.

We appreciate the fact that yon gentlemen are charged with the responsibility of 'conserving the funds of the United States government and certainly we admire you for the excellent manner in which your department conducts Its af-fulrs, strictly as an efficient business organization.
