Cooper to the annual meeting cf the United States Good Roads as sociation to be held at Mineral wens. Texas, on April 14-19, are tire names of E. H. Aull and C. T. Snmmer from Kewberry. It was awfully nice and thoughtful of Gov. Cooper to name us *Ti cr/in crnnr? r>nm r?a n -vt 5) n rl thprp 1U O UCii ^VVU MMVb . no one more interested in good roads and no one who would like more iO attend the convention along with Mr. Summer and a delegation headed by Hon. R. G. Rhett of Charleston and a trip to Texas would be delightful, but, well, there is so much to do here at home in the matter of building roads and other things, that we fear we will not be able to attend the meeting unless Mr. Summer should insist so strongly that we go to take care of him, we might under certain conditions change our' mi ail and attend the convention. Tne building of roads is one of the big problems before the country today Newberry county is entitled to about $67,000 of federal money for road building, so the State Highway department announces. In order to get this money the county must match it dollar for dollar and it must be % / spent in the kind of roads the federal government says build and under federal direction. What will Newberry do about it? And some one asked us the other day what had become of the automobile license tax we had been paying now for two years. As we understand the law 80 per cent of ^ i the amount paid by each county is to be spent in that county. We are net % A . * A " .1 A .1 i.1 X. sure aoout it dui we aznaersiana mst the money has not yet been spent ' bud. is still in the hands of the treasurer. And it was decided to spend it on the b-uilding of the Piedmont highway between Little Mountain and Kinards and possibly on one or two otner roads but we are not sure. And on? reason it has not been spent is that the matter was waiting on the relocation of the road between Pros, perity and Newberry so as to avoid the grade crossings of the railroad. We have been looking for that to be -done for some time. It looks like the worlc^is going tc be at war before the peace terms are agreed upon and the league of.na tions perfected. One writer says tha: the trouble of the disturbance is not ' only caused by the shortage of food but it is also brought about by a lacic of employment for the people, and if tne. emoargo could De lirted so that some of the nations that have been at war could get cotton they could start up their mills and put the people to work and that would settle in ? large measure the unrest which prevails. And it would increase the demandyfor the cotton and the people who have it could get something- for it and all and every one be better off Why not hurry and let these people have employment? Lift the embargo. v > There should be a good attendance at the meeting called by the cotton association of the county for next "Wednesday. There are matters yet to be settled which are of vital inter est to all the business men of the county. GOV. ALLEN'S ATTACK SOLIDIFIES COTTON FARMERS I Columbia, March 26?The attack made by Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas on the cotton acreage reduction movement in the South seems to have solidified the farmers of the whole South and letters and telegrams have been pouring into the ot:ices of the South Carolina Cotton Asociation daring the last 24 hours | pledging cooperation. "If anything was needed to put the ovement over, the attaack by Gov ]en has certaainly done it", was the! comment of a number of the central 'iiiiimiee louay as ne waaea tnrougfc the pile of letters and telegrams comt mending Chairman J. Skottowe Wannamaker for his reply to the bittar attack made by the Kansas Executive on the cotton growers of the South. 1 The ridiculous position in which the governor of Kansas finds himseil because of his statement that the I Southern farmer would n:*ike as much, with cotton selling at 35 cenn ja pound, as the Kansas farmer will : make from his wheat crop, has caused a great deal of amusement. The Kansas man got his figures mixed a* cotton is not bringing anything like Sf tents. The latter figure is the price the Southern farmer is asking T. P. Fulmore, of Cades, Williams burg county, today sent the cottou association a copy of a telegram which, he sent Gov. Allen. The telegram reads as follows: "Referring to your refusal to at tend a conference of the South Care lina Cotton Association and your ej timate that cotton growers were making as much money with cotton a J 35 cents a pound as Kansas farmer: were making from wheat; if you car use S5 bales at this figure, please wire shipping instructions at once." The press of the South is severe i.-i its condemnation of the Kansas governor. There is not a dissenting note and practically all of the papers ar-= making comment on the attacl: branding it as unwarranted and unjustified. LETTER TO MR AND MRS. J>. S.
