FRENCH PREMIER ATTENDS
DISARMAMENT MEETING.j
FUST FORMAL ACCEPTANCE
RECEIVED AT WASHINGTON
FROM AN INVITED NATION.
' Washington, Aug. 15.?The hope
of American officials that the disarmament
conference will be a diplomatic
conclave of the first order
was strengthened today when France
ait +Va aha+j* rf&nnrtmpnt that
she Would send bar premier, Aristide
Briand, alt the head of her delegation
of diplomatists.
The decision is expected here to
jbe followed by similar moves on the
part of ithe other powers, investing
the gathering With extraordinary
significance and giving it muchN of
the plenary authority that was possessed
'by the council of "heads of
states," at Versailles.
The French notification came in
the form of a (message from Premier
Briand himself, transmitted through
the American embassy at Paris, say+V10

abee.
- It ma the first formal acceptance
to be received from any of (the invited
nations.
Meantime the administration's
preparation of its own part in the
conference was advanced (by a request
sent to congress for an appropriation
of $200,(TOO as an ' initial
budget to pay expenses of the Aim1
e'rkan representatives and of a secretariat-general.
The sum fixed m the request. and
ly disposed of any expectation that
'this government would pay expenses
of any of the visiting delegations,
for congress was informed specifically
that the money was to he used for
the American delegation and for the
i secretariat-general alone.
In making the request President
Harding merely transmitted with his
approval a letter written by Undersecretary
Fletcher of the state department,
who has been placed in
charge of the physical arrangements
for the conference and who prepared
his estimates after a conference with
Director General Dawes of the bad,
get bureau. There was no attempt to
divide the sums into separate items.
In the senate it is likely that the requested
appropriations will he attached
to the shipping (board appropriation
bill.
News that the. - French premier
would attend the conference was received
with manifest satisfaction
here, for there has been a general
expectation that should one of the
powers decide to send its premier
the other would do likewise in the
interest of fair representation.
Not only will the presence of the
foreign premiers here ' add greatly
- >' to the weight of the deliberations,
but it is expected also to be a con
sideraNe help in expediting the work
of the conference. In ordinary diplomatic
gatherings much time is cos."

The association has had handsome

heading of "The Virtue of Good
Roads," in the following statement:
"Good Roads are essentia} to . the
development of South Carolina. The
state must either enter upon a road
building program or lose its place
in the procession of progressive states
and sooner or later lapse back into
a condition which will be little better
than barbarism.

Carolina has issued bonds in the sum li
of $50,000,"000 for the construction a
of state highway system. County bond
issues have been authorized totaling t<
about $16,000,000. This makes a to- e
tal of $66,000,000 to be spent in v
that state on roads. Georgia is launch b
ing an ambitious road building pro- h
gram. Alabama is planning to isspe t
$25,000,000, for the construction of
a state highway system. Florida is li
building more roads. e
"South Carolina must keep pace *
with these states or our state will v
surely suffer. Our farm lands will
decline in value and the population
of our cities will decrease. c
"Because of the lack of opportu- v
Wty imposed by present conditions
the rural communities are being
drained of almost every drop of their
first-class blood. i
'XjJood roads and social betterment
are all one problem in South
Carolina. Good roads and rural (
church are all one problem in South
Oarolina. Roads will pave the way
for other things so badly needed/' 2
