Poliakoft CUCCESTIONS ON HOW TO USE TOP-SOIL ROA1 Autoists Asked Not to break Spe Records nor Follow ;n lieaten Paths?Spirit of Co-opera>ion is Asked. In view of the fact that the nej !v half a million dollars of the pi pie's money is soon to be spent building top soil highways tnrouj -r/. Abbeville County we believe tl the excellent suggestions contain in an article given the Laurens A vertiser this week by the chief en .ieer, N. C. Hughes, Jr. of Laure Jcunty shotild be put before c readers. Here is the article: I would like through your coiurr to bring a matter before the trav 'y.rr r\llkli/? T Vlplipvp is of PTf importance both directly and in rectly to it, as well as to the subji to be mentioned, that is, of the tr fic use of the new topsoil roads co pleted in this county. Naturally a new and smooth s faced topsoil road is enticing to ai one driving an auto, over it, and pecially so to those who are inclir to speed whenever an opportunity offered, and perhaps at times wh an opportunity is not offered. Apart from the fact that speedi beyond the legal limit of 25 mi per hour is unlawful, it is very di gerous to the ordinary traveling pi lie, whether it be pedestrian, ho: and buggy, teams and wagon, or 1 slower driving autoists. There is another feature conne ed with speeding which tne ordim autoist does not think aDout, and rrost cases dees not know about, a that is, that he is doing what may termed an irreparable damage to 1 topsoil surface. The rubDer tires a fast moving, high powered car 1 i strong friction grip on the sui'fj of the road, and the consequence .h~t the smaller binding materi which go to form the component.p tion of the surfaced area gives vi to this terrible friction ana suctl< and is dislodged and blow away fr< t's original location. The effect this sort of thing is that the surf; ing more readily and rapidly beg: o disintegrate under this and hea ;rr.ffic passing over it, especially wh subletted to the unavoidable a frequent onslaughts from the e ments. Those t'^soil Toads that have be constructed, so far in this coun) :ave been built with the view of ts ng care as near as possible, not or >f the present traffic but of the p< sible increase of same for sevei 'enrs to come, both in the matter the width and the thickness of t topsoil surfacing. But everyo knows, who has had any experien with topsoil roads, that at best th have a traffic limit insofar as th< standing and wear and tear of trail [ have noticed as I pass up and doi the new roads that everybody hai ners along in one beaten pach in t center of the road. This applies raffic both going and coming. As matter of fact, if every auto driv would take the right precaution the proper spirit, and drive jujst foot or two to the right of tne ce ter of the road, he would thereby u knowingly render great assistance he maintenance and up-keep ?a life of the road. It is plainly seen tl" .raffic regulated in this manner woi be doing only one-half of the ha r.cring and damage as it now do with everybody going ana coming he ccntsr, excep' when passing oi ?r vehicles, and the life of the ro .vould be almost doubled by such p: cedure. I would therefore, like to appeal all autoist- and truck 'drivers to c< oiuvi tino |/iupwaitiuii aiiu give it least a try-out. I feel sure after su i system has been given a fair tr they will beg;in to notice :ne diff ence in the condition of the roa : It is hard enough, with the Iir%>t means, labor and machinery availal to maintain the roads in proj shape, and especially *o wnen t travelling public has a tendency thoughtlessly abuse the privilege riding with ease and smoothness o\ the new roads in the same rut, steaa ot exercising1 judgment, a doing all they can in assisting their maintenance in the manr above suggested. ' I might add also that the use cut-outs is very harmful to top-s as well as any other soil roads. T cut-outs acts like a bellows in d lodging and scattering the soil a its continued use will materia shorten the life of the roads. THE REASONABLENESS 5S OF CHRISTIANITY ! ?? ed V.'e are born into a creation wrapped around with the mystery of In ' finity and Eternity. It is a creation ; bigger than our human minds can understand. In other words in ar- every night God whispers to man * j ' jo- that he was born for something in more enduring than time. No wonrft. der Xapoleon Bonaparte, when iat some infidels argued with him one ed night, pointed up to the starry sky Ld- and answered: "Who then made all gj. that?" And no wonder Lord Bacon ns declared that he had rather believe iur any fable ever written than believe ithat the earth and heavens developms ed by mere chance or accident, el- Granting then that there is a God ?at it is not also reasonable that He di- should wish to make son^ revelajct tion of Himself to His creatures? af^And if He has so revealed Himself, to- what religion offers the noblest and jmost ennobling conception of God, ur- Judaism, or Christianity1 No one ly- who has studied them with unbiased es- mind, I think, can be in doubt on led this point. Nor do I think of anyis thig more reasonable than the comien ing of Christ to earth. Why should inot a Gcd who loved His creatures ng say, "Let Me show men how to live les by Myself living the humble life of inJa man for three and thirty years.' jbJ Let Me show men the glory of duty[ rse'and sacrifice of Myself living a hu-' he man life of duty and sacrifice." i _ . 1 1 i3ut perhaps you may say, "Wnyi ct. then, doesn't the Almighty make ev-1 iry!erything so clear that a man need | jnlnot be worried by doubts or fears? ncjiWhy doesn't the Almighty speak so' ke'clearly about the life everlasting' heanc* a^out wonders of Heaven! 0? as to satisfy the human being." ias' No man, of course, can answer! ice these questions definitely, but I j is have always reasoned about the aj3'matter in this fashion: Our physical or- body grows and gains strength ray through struggle and toil and con5n> flict. Are not strugge and toil and Qm conflict also necessary to the 0f growth of the soul? And if the Alac_ mighty showed us beyond all huins man doubt the glories of Heaven, vy who would wish to live out the dulen ler life of earth and endure the nd slow and ofen painful discipline by le_ which the soul is made fit for Heaven? en' True religion, as I understand it, ? tyjis a passion for this divine com-' ljc. radeship. To love God, to love j ,ly[ eternal things, with all one's heart, |e )s.'and to love one's neighbors as one's! :al'sclf?.that'is how Christ summoned! cf'up religion. I seriously doubt whe-j he ther the Almighty ever hears a | ? ne self-centered man who prays, "0 j Lord, save my soul. I don't want to | ey suffer in any torment. I do want to ' ? ?ir enjoy the uxury and glory of HeaICt ven." But I am sure the Almighty I vn hears every one who cries, "Oh, \ m_ Lord, put Thy spirit within me. j he Let me turn from evil and follow in j to Thy footsteps. Help me to live an ! a eternal being, made in Thy image j er ar>d destined for Thy courts." in "But is it worth while to join a ' a church?" you ask. I certainly be- j (U. !:eve that it is. The church is ^e|<] in_ organized soldiery of the Al-1 in mighty. You can do a great deal J ? nd more if you fight with the regular j!" iat army instead of beig a mere camp-1 ^ ild follower. By joining a church you j x m- also give a public pledge that you j J es, will try to let the immortal part of I ^ in you rule the moi-tal part, and such | th- a pledge will do much to hold you j ad in the straight path, oubts will come r0- io you, of course. You will find 'men all around you battling over ^ 0 things Christ did not call essential )n_ and perhaps demanding acceptance at of creeds you cannot wholly ap^ prove. But it will be enough if on-j ly in the darkest hours you can j er_ throw yourself upon "the jrreat * world's altar-stairs that slope e(j through darkness up to God" and ^ jjj say to him who has promised to be | )er an Elder Brother: j ^ 44I know not what I think: 1 know j tri Onlv that thou art- what I need." ! x xo j i 0? ?The, Progressive Farmer. i" TQT ' .

They may have t lerived this impression from Mon-1 esquieu, who studied the English 1 ;overnment at a time when it did 1 eem to have that character. But even i - . i mile tne American revolution was in rogress and while the writers of the | 'ederalist were studying the classic " nodels, the power in England was ieing centred in the House of Comnons, of which the prime minister ' nd the throne itself were hardly lore than agents. S Our constitution did not, thereore, follow the English practice, as ts authors seem to have intended, nd its scrupulous attempt to save he nation from the mostly imaginary [angers of an encroaching President >r congress was in really a novel ex(eriment. As matters have turned out, t has been the supreme judiciary, if inything, that has encroached and aken to itself powers probably not 'oreseen. But the balance between Resident and congress has undergone loticeable fluctuations. The \far pow>rs of Lincoln, exercised without nuch consideration for the letter of he constitution gave some founndaion for the current belief abroad hat the President has become an auocrat. After Lincoln the presidency leclined, then began to reassert itelf in the administration o:' Grover Cleveland. Roosevelt added enornously to its prestige, and before :is influence had died away Woodow Wilson seized upon tne opportulity still further to magnify his ofice. Certain defects in the President's cmperament led to bitter r<.aeniiiei::, which expressed itself first in he cc::g;\ssional elections of 1918 ind later in the treaty ngnt. ine later cannot be fully understood withiut a perception of the fact that it vas not much partisan warfare gainst an administration as it was a truggle on the part 0/ tne upper , < ? . louse of congress to assert its inlependence.
