For the first time in more than f a hundred years, a President of the United States appeared in the Senate chamber to discuss J the Nation's foreign relations 1 after Jhe manner of Washing ton, Adams and Madison. The effect was to leave Congress, all ' official quarters and the foreign ' diplomats amazed and bewildered. Immediately there arose a sharp division-of opinion over | the propriety as well as the [ President's proposal. "Startling," "staggering," "as? tAiinrlinnr " r\ vuuulllKi 111V 1IUU1CSI UKCi* ' ance that has fallen from human ' lips since the Declarations of Independence" were among the expressions of Seqators. The President, himself, after his address, said: "I have said what everybody > has been longing for and has i thought impossible. Now it appears to be possible." The chief points of the President's address were: That a lasting peace in Europe i connot be a peace of victory for i either side. * That peace must be followed by a definite conceit of power to assure the world that no ca1 tastrophe of war shall- overwhelm it again. That in such a concert 6f powers, the United States cannot , withhold its participation to guarantee peace and justice throughout the wcrld. i Ana that before a peace is made the United States Government should frankly formulate the conditions upon which it would feel justified in asking Ilho American people for their formal and solemn adherer.rp "lV?s clear to every man who thinks," the President told the Senate, "tl^t there is in this . promise no^Rtnch in either our , traditions and our policy as a . Nation, J^ut a fulfilment rather . of all that we have preseased ^or striv.en for. I "I am proposing, as it were, that the Nations should with t one accord, adopt the doctrine of President Monroe as the doc f tTine of the world; that no ; Nation should seek to extend its y policy over any other Nation or > people, but that every people should be left free to determine } its own policy, it^ own way of development, unhindered, unthreatened, unafraid, the little along with the great and powerI fuU "I am p/oposing that all Nation henceforth avoid entangling alliances which would draw them into competitions of power, catch them in a net of intrigue and selfish rivalry, ancl disturb their own affairs with influence intruded from without. There is no entangling alliance in a concert of power. When 5 all unite to act in the same purd pose, all act in the common in) terest and are free to live their own lives undes a common proi tection. 9 I A ship doctor in the employ j of one of the transatlantic lines > tells of the sad case of a man - from Iowa who had never been to sea before. ? "He was in a bad slate," says 1 the doctor. "I asked him wheth) er he could keep anything on f his stomach. He looked at me - with an expression indicating his abandonment of all hope and i replied: ; '"No, doc, nothing but my hand." i v ..? X 1 | *. | . - - - | M ^ - ! When the votes were counted yesterday and it was seen that J. E. Agerton wfll be the mavor, Watt Gregory said, "Now, we will have a Buckeye administration." Watt ought to be turned off for saying it, don't you think? Mr. J. D. Hendricks knows what to do to a sandbed when he wants to make a road. On his farm four miles east of Pageland was one of the worst sandbeds in the county. Soon after he moved there in December he began work on the road across his farm. He begins by plowing it with a two-horse plow as deep as he can. Then he hitches to his drag and begins smoothing and rounding it. He says he made a fairly hard road on the farm in eastern North Caro lina where he moved from by plowing up and then dragging after each ram. He intends to clay this piece of road and then keep it smooth with a drag. We should like for a good many of those who have lived up to their necks in sand all their lives to go over and see what Mr.. Hendricks is doing, and talk to him. The ojji idea of using the sixfoot road for both ditch and road is a back uumber. "When the writer sees rows on each side of a narrow sand road running right out and emptying the water in the road to run down the routes and bank up clean white *sand two feet deep right in the road for every poor horse to drag through year in and year out, we feel that somebody nedds a good substantial kicking: machine installed about the premises so that he can be reminded in the prop^TJ-vay of his duty. Hecould at lea^K^low ric^s tolteep the loose sand and water out of the road. Prof John Terry did come back from Georgia. And he didn't stop at that, but came right along down here and walked in, rolling up his sleeves like Jack Johnson might have done, and called for the writer of this column. Fortunately we were away at that time. Then on the following day or the next he walked right up on us in a place where we had little chance to run, and we mtfde as if we too wanted to fight. Then the professor grinned, and began to tell about * their trip. Ttiey, meaning Messrs. John, ). W. and Ed Terry, Zeb Smith and Adam Mills, visited in Tatnall and Evans counties Georgia where they saw many people who formerly lived in this section, among whom were: Claude Cox, Henry Griffin, Marvin Threatt, Seaborn Threatt, B. A. Threatt, James Evans, , Jofin Mangum and Addison Sanders. Evans county is a new one with Claxton as the county seat. Reidsville is the county seat of Tatnall county. Mr. Terry savs they Had some car trouble going down, but aside from that they had a splendid trip. They were well impressed with the country, but not enough so to make it their home, as evidenced by the fact that Prof. John came back, knowing full well he would have to pay back that twentyfour dollars if he did return. He had borrowed the monev on the condition that if he would stay in Georgia the money was his. Those who know him well un dcrstand that Georgia climate did not appeal to him ver# strongly or he would have re inained there to save .hat twen ty-four dollars. Now, for ihe information of Mr. Terry we will say that Mr. Henry Graves has been appointed fighting ed itor of this sheet, and any matters coming under that heading should be referred to him, .1 . jf ' # .# BUSINESS LOCALS .Lost?between Pageland and the StaU Line one Automobile chain.
