"A NEW ORDER OF AFFAIRS" e;
e<
r<
The treaty of peace has been
signed. President Wilson has left ^
France and ia on his way y>me. The i
beginning of a new era has been;^
marked. As President Wilson said C(
in his address to the American peopie,
"The treaty of peace has beensigned.
If it is ratified and acted; w
upon in full and sincere execution of:
its terms, it will furnish the charter n
for a new order of affairs in the:
world. It is a severe treaty in the f,
duties and penalties it imposes upon j ^
Germany, but it is severe only be- q
cause great wrongs do^te by Ger- tj
many are to be righted and repaired; ^
it imposes nothing that Germany a
cannot <fo; and shi can regain her ^
rgihtful standing in the world by the ' js
prompt and honorable fulfillment of ^
its terms. f r
"And it is much more than a treaty j ^
of peace with Germany. It liberates p
great peoples who have never before' g
been able to find the way to liberty. n
It ends, once for all, an old and intolerable
order under which small
groups of selfish men could use the ^
peoples of great empires to serve
their ambition for power and dominion.
It associates the free govern>
toents of the world in a permanent
league in which they are pledged to e
use their united power to maintain tJ
peace by maintaining right and jus- C
lice." u
The framing of the peace treaty, h
the incorporation in it of the league S
of natrons idea and its final accep- *
tance by most of the nations of die a1
earth was a wonderful personal
achievement for President Wilson.
His splendid ideals permeate the
* whole work; in the main it is his ac-.
omplwhment. The fourteen points ti
were generally adhered to. There o*
were compromises as must be when 1*
men representing so many different ti
kinds of ideals try to get together on J
such a project. There were mistakes A
made as were to be expected in any a
work of man. The treaty has its g
faults, but its merits must be weigh- p
ed against its defects. When this is
done comprehension of the great d
premises held forth by the treaty will u
come, i "itumw ?? ?? - b
o+ill a ficr'Ht to mftlre at Ti

home. The Republicans have lined 1
tip against the treaty; have made it w
a pasty issue. Many leaders of the
party have already seen that this c<
was a mistake and are trying to ir
hedge. Some of the Republican w
leaders, notably Johnson, Lodge, o
Penrose and Borah, have gone too nc
far to turn back and it can be ex- ci
pected that these men will make a ci
bitter partisan fight on the President b
with the peace treaty and the league o
of nations as the issue. n
The result of this fight is easy to j d
predict. Wilson will make his appeal r<
direct to the American people and it f<
is not too much to expect that he t<
will be able to make them see the r<
great possibilities in the league of ?
nations. It will become plain that
the treaty terms offer the only hope P
of salvation to the world, which now &
carries on its shoulders the burdens ?
that are legacies of the Great War. ti

uck are fast supplanting the horse tl

ill come a time when 90 percent of p
le cotton brought to the Abbeville a
arket will be carried in motor js
neks, because this method is cheap- g
: and quicker and will permit of
rger tonnage. Good roads in the ^
>unty will hasten the day. tl
Along with the matter of good a
>ads should be considered the
uestion of maintenance. It is fool- 0.
h to spend thousands of dollars for tj
uilding roads and make no provision c
)r upkeep. Too often has it been i g(
le experience of counties in the'v
outh that good roads were built?L
tpensive roads?which were allow-1
^ to ranidlv deteriorate for lack of j fl
;pair. Maintenance is one of the | ?
jsential factors, else public conii-j
ence in better roads is weakened. !
There is really no question as to r
le sentiment of the fanner of this
o
>unty on the question of better &

tediately double and treble. The' ^
'hole question sifts down to one ofj
roper construction and provision forj
laintenance. | ^
The war has been a tremendous!

actor in moulding public opinion as: q
ir as good roads are concerned.!^
ifficers and men are returning to the |
United States "sold" to the idea of *
etter transportation facilities. They;
e returning to sell the idea to the|
omefolks but all they have to do;
j y
t to get behind the movement, which' ^
tarted simultaneously at home. The
eaction of war on the homefolksi
as converted them to good roads, j 0
rom every section of the United j
tates there has gone up the cry forj
lore roads and better roads.

FALL IRISH POTATOES. t
n
Clemaon College, June 29,?As the
me approaches for the second crop
f Irish potatoes, land should be se- "
icted and prepared thoroughly, so 0
lat when planting time comes in c
uly, everything will be in readiness.
rich sandy loam is preferable, but *
[most any well drained soil will c
row potatoes, if the land is well pre- v
ared and fertilized.
Torough preparation consists of c
eep turning followed by harrowing *
ntil a completely pulverized seed- c
ed is formed. Rows or deep fur- **
jws should then be laid off 3 to 3 ^
-2 feet apart and well thrown out "
ith a turn or shovel plow. t!
Thorough barnyard manure and, P
omercial fertilizers are r^com- "
tended, but the former must be 3
ell rotted and judiciously used; c
therwise, scab and similar diseases p
lay result. In the use of commer- J s
ial fertilizer, a complete mixture b
Dntaming an excess of potash should o
e applied. Because of the shortage o
f potash, the element of plant food ii
lost needed in excess in potato prouction,
liberal applications of well t'
jtted barnyard manure will be ii
Dund to be very effective, in helping ii
> reduce this shortage, and to cor- b
act the physical condition of the 1
>il. b
Barnyard manure should be ap- u
lied broadcast, 8 to 10 tons per p
ere, and thoroughly disced into the o
oil. In the use of commercial fer- e
rlizer, apply in the drill, using 800 n
) 1000 pounds per acre, and thor- I
ughly mix with the soil; otherwise,
poor stand may be obtained as the t
esult of the contact of fertilizer and r
nbers. o

EPUBLICANS SPLIT jf
ON PEACE TREATY
AS VOTE APPROACHES!
Washington, June 25.?"The oponents
of the league in the senate
re badly divided and split into fac
.. .
ions; its friends are united as one
lan, sentiment for ratification of the
:eaty unamended is stronger today
lan ever."?Senator Hitchcock.
"Demand for amendment of thei
eace treaty is stronger in the sen-j
te today than it has ever been, andi
i continuing to grow stronger."?
enator Lodge.
These statements were made today
y the leaders of forces supporting
ie League of Nations in the senate,
nd those opposing it.
Senator Hitchcock declared a recrd
vote today on the Knox resoluion
separating the treaty and th|
ovenant, the Fall resolution for a
eparate peace, or Mr. Root's reserations
would all prove conclusively
bat a majority of the senate is
gaihst interfering in any way with
he prompt and unamended ratifiation
of the entire treaty.
He and other Democratic leaders
rent further and declared that if
atifications were asked today not
ne-third of the senate would vote
gainst it.
Senator Lodge, on the other hand,
5 confident administration forces
re deceiving themselves. Other Reublicans,
however, frankly admited
that Senator Hitchcock's statelent
regarding the serious division
f the league opponents into facions,
is true. There are at least
ix distinct groups of thought among
he Republicans. It was partly to
econcile these differing views that
Ir. Root came here last week. One
esult of his visit, senators said tolay,
was to show up more clearly
han ever how badly the league's
pponents are divided.
The various groups include those
ighting for absolute rejection of the
eague and the rest of the treaty;
hose demanding specific amendment
f the treaty text; those willing to
ccept the Root plan for reserve
ions to be included in the ratificaion
resolution; those insisting that
he plan be modified by addition of
, provision that the reservations
nust be accepted by the other naions
or the United States won't join
he league; those insisting on imrneiate
ratification of the treaty but
olding up of the league covenant,
nd those demanding immediate enetment
of the Fall separate peace '
esolution, with the idea of taking
>lenty of time on both the peace *
erms proper and the league cove- ^
ant. <
WMle these various groups debate
he merits of their respective ideas
n the cloak rooms, Senator Lodge,
sterisible leader, is being urged to
all a mhimiil Rut h* C
as demurred on the ground that
)emocrats then would be able to g
barge Republicans with having made
he whole thing a party matter.
After two hours' discussion today
f the resolution of Senator Fall,
Republican, of New Mexico, to de- g
lare a state of peace with Gennany, y
he senate foreign relations commit- y
ee adjourned without action. t
'
he furrows and drop the tubers or t
arts of tubers 14 to 16 inches apart ^
a the drill covering to a depth of f
to 6 inches, depending upon the I
haracter of the soil,?heavier soils s
lanted more shallow than lighter
oils. Packing the soil about the tuers,
either by stepping directly upn
the tuber when dropped, or by use
f a light roller following covering,
nsures a much better stand.
If tubers of the spiring crop of
he current year are used for plantig
the second, or fall crop, "sproutfig,"
preparatory to planting, will
e very helpful in obtaining a stand
^is may be done by drying the tuers
10 to 14 days and spreading,pon
the ground in a cool shaded
lace, covered with straw to a depth
f 3 to 6 inches and watering sufficintly
to saturate the straw but by no
leans such as to cause the tubers to
ecome drenched.
Frequent shallow cultivation, eiher
by harrowing across or with the v
ows, should be given at intervals of I
ne week, or as soon after each rain c
s soil conditions will permit, until t
good stand is obtained; after which s
uch as may be necessary to keep the <
rop in a high,, state <*f cultivation.
Jnder normal conditions, from 90
o 110 days from' planting will be retired
to make the crop.
