COliLuuj9SIONEB8 AWARD ROAD CO>T It AITS Construction Will Begin Both Ways Out of Dillon Immediately. At a meeting of the County Commissioners held last Wednesday contracts for building the government rofft from the Marion county line on the east to the Marlboro line on the west were awarded to the BrooksGalloway Co., of Atlanta, and the Hoppendlctzel Co., of Macon, Ga. The Brooks-Galloway Co. KetB the co^ract for the construction of the highway from the Marion line to Dillon town, and the Hoppendlctzel Co. gets the contract for the joint of road from Dillon town to the Marlboro county line. There will be approximately 20 miles of sand and clay road aod the cost will be about $63,000. The commissioners have under consideration a proposition to gravel the road from Dillon to Eatta. Dr. J. H_ David has an abundance of gravel on his plantation half between Dillon and Latta and negotiations are pending for the use of this gravel on the Dillon-Latta link. The state highway engineer who met with the k county board Wednesday examined the gravel on Dr. David's place and says it Is of a very high quality and * wi^i niakte an excellent top surface >ad. VThe contractors are anxious to get to work as quickly as possible, and they returned to their homes Wednesday afternoon with the intention of getting their equipment loaded at nncp The hida rmippd fi-nni SfiS 000 to $100,000 and the successful bidders claim their bids were so low they do not expect to make any money on tire work. One of the contractors said ho had 80 head of mules that had been standing up for six months and if he could manage to pay expenses he would consider him. self lucky. It is believed that Dillon county has made a close trade and will get the work done for one-half of what it would have cost a year ago. The road will be 32 feet wide and have a clearance of 50 feet. Landowners along the highway have agreed to allow the county to get clay from thietir lands and the mixing of sand and clay will be under the direct supervision of an experienced engineer. The work will beein from Dillon both ways at the same timfc and the contractors have 200 days in which to complete their contracts, but it is thought they will finish in half that time, o Paving Streets of Bennett.sville. Bennettsville. April 24- ? Rapid pi ogress is being made in putting down the asphalt on the streets of Bennettsville.

In honor of the event his daughter, Mrs. F. M. Lane, and two children, Robert and Annie, are spending tire day with him. Several times since the armistice Mr. Ranohe tCk tried to communicate with relatives in Germany, without success, but the other day Dr. T. A- Norment, a son-in-law, received a letter from a cousin in the fatherland asking where Mr. Rancke was buried! Mr. Rancke # still Very much alive and is going stfong. Mr. Rancke visits his daughter, Mrs. Fred M.

Ma- 1 rionites objected to the directors de- J elding such an important question. ] they stated that this was a matter, for the stockholders to settle. The j proposition was finally submitted to ithe stockholders. | Mullins offered to furnish a permanent location for the fair, a guaran-1 i tec of $2,000 and the moral support | jof the town. This proposition was; :not in every partcular by the. citi- j |zens of the county seat. No action was taken on the mat-] ter, at this time.

Paris, April 24?\Vhile the French government Is desperatly trying expedient after expedient to raise the thirty-nine billion francs necessary foi this year's budget, society In Paris is indulging in un orgy of extravagance in gambling unbeaten in the history of the republic. u'uu * - i? * * ? it" yiivAip nuinws on rne Avenue DuI3ois Passy transformed into miniature casinos where jewelled women play nightly at baccarat and poker instead of bridge, the passion for risking large sums has extended even to the poorer people. Literally Incredibly sums are wag|?-d daily on the races. The reason for this is said to be the inflation of 11he- currency by which everybody in France has ostensibly five times more cash than before the war. Mushroom millionaires are springing up daily with each drop in the value of thy franc. The Sunday dinners at the Ritz. which had become known as the smartest functions in Europe, have degenerated into an exposition of bare backs, barbarous jewels, fat wallets and ostentations clothing. James Norton Winslow, leader of the young old set, was especially conspicuous. A group of debutantes were insisting upon teaching him the steps of the new dance?the Girondelle ? despite the fact that his 80 years necessitate the use of a cane. Mrs. Richard Owen, nee Hilton, grand daughter of Judge Hilton of New York, has sprung a sensation. She is wearing 32 jade bracelets, reaching above the elbow. She is being outdone, however, by a portlv nia tron whose shoulder is adorned by a tattooed butterfly. Another furore is caused by a redhaired beauty who is wearing1 a sacerdotal robe, explaining that it was given to her by a priest. Another is wearing a Chinese mandarin robe with her hair arranged on her teni pies, maiden fashion. The greatesj. sensation of all, however, was reserved for an anonymous beauty, who, conceiving the ide.i of revealing nature, has a new "fall ing leaves" dress. She wears no stock ings but has sandals. Realizing thai she needed some adornment for con trast, she is wuhring a painted gar tet nn inch above her knee, the garjter being an imitation rosebud. It caused many exclamations of adj miration while she was foxtrotting Attention: Kv-Servioo Men.

It sounds i good, but one great troubK* with we' Americans is we rush right into too 1 many things without so much as a i thought us to the result. Who Is j the debtor of Europe? A corporation in which all of us are stock- f holders; it was our money that was loaned to the countries of Europe, t I>-t us illustrate: f We bought Liberty bonds so that i [this country could carry on its part r of the war and also make loans to i its allied nations; the money we i ! paid for Liberty bonds was the nion- i |ey that was loaned to Europe. Now, let us be fair. ] j "Will tile Herald or will Governor 1 Cooper come out in favor of canceling the Liberty bonds? Would i it be anything more than fair, if we1] 'should cancel the debts the nations ; 'of Europe owe us? uuwniur vuo[H'r, says t 11 - ji?t- i 'aid. "tiik?s a bold stand in advocat-' ing so swooping a measure, but imposition ho takes can bo sustained by the soundest of logic and reason." Certainly it Can, if v.v are financially able to cancel the debt 'our own country owes. It would be a magnanimous act on the part of th?. people of tin- I'liited States ho burn their Liberty bonds and say to tbe government: "You owe us nothing"? if we were able. The 'Herald evidently believes we are, for i( says: "We can Ins.- what Ku;ope owes us and never feel it." "It is true that one working under , t hc? burdens of a heavy debt works in J the dark and with his hands tied. . We have some personal experience . with that condition, but on the otlur ; hand it has been the \\;ry making ;! of many a man to get in debt and . get out. Instead of it tending to .'cause people "to lose all interest lin the future," as. the Herald thinks . it would, it should cause a man to . put forth more effort, buckle down, i, !aml ge, out from under the burden. .! "They see nothing before thorn, . but years of toil," says the Herald, t "they have neither the spirit nor the .'ambition to help themselves, and .'where such conditions exist indus. trial rehabilitation is a slow and paint fill nrocess." Is not that a itith..r s? ? . riotia indict merit of the peoples of the European nations? Certainly linen wh0 fought like the Htitish and j the French have not lost "the- spirit 'o,- the ambition to help themselves." In our opinion. Governor Cooper blundered when he said in a speech a, Spartanburg that the best thing the United States can <Jo is to cancel its war debts." The Herald is not moved in this 'mutter by feelings of sympathy or sentiment- We are sorry for tin people of Europe, but our sympathy does 'not go so far tha, we want to make t! em a present of eleven billions of dollars. The Europeans claim they cannot pay interest on tli< debt That in itsdf is an acknowledgment that t':cv ire broke, if tlu-y are broke how. can we collect? Germany says sincannot pay. it Gormnn> cannot pay how are the Allies to gci out of ln-i ? If the Allies cannot even pay interest ill what they owe how do 111 y expect Germany to pay interest and principal? Those in authority Washington (and among tie in are Democrat:! and Republican*' tell u* en industrial troubles are due to the impoverished condition of Europe That may be a shrewd way of placiiu the Ida tut* where it d"es inn properly belong: but anvwav business sr.ff? : while Washington fiddles. It American business cannot pet on its f?et .again tin'il Europe pets where sincan buy the most sensible thins to <b> is to put Europe to buying. She owes us eleven billions. Givc. it to her and then lend her more money to start up her industries. If her industries are to continue to remain idle and the pt ice of our raw materials continues' to decline we will lose considerably , more than 11 billions of dollars m the next five yorrs. ! ?
