ROAD CO>T It AITS
Construction Will Begin Both Ways
Out of Dillon Immediately.
At a meeting of the County Commissioners
held last Wednesday contracts
for building the government
rofft from the Marion county line on
the east to the Marlboro line on the
west were awarded to the BrooksGalloway
Co., of Atlanta, and the
Hoppendlctzel Co., of Macon, Ga.
The Brooks-Galloway Co. KetB the
co^ract for the construction of the
highway from the Marion line to Dillon
town, and the Hoppendlctzel Co.
gets the contract for the joint of road
from Dillon town to the Marlboro
county line. There will be approximately
20 miles of sand and clay road
aod the cost will be about $63,000.
The commissioners have under consideration
a proposition to gravel
the road from Dillon to Eatta. Dr.
J. H_ David has an abundance of gravel
on his plantation half between
Dillon and Latta and negotiations
are pending for the use of this gravel
on the Dillon-Latta link. The state
highway engineer who met with the
k county board Wednesday examined
the gravel on Dr. David's place and
says it Is of a very high quality and
* wi^i niakte an excellent top surface
>ad.
VThe contractors are anxious to get
to work as quickly as possible, and
they returned to their homes Wednesday
afternoon with the intention
of getting their equipment loaded at
nncp The hida rmippd fi-nni SfiS 000
to $100,000 and the successful bidders
claim their bids were so low
they do not expect to make any money
on tire work. One of the contractors
said ho had 80 head of mules
that had been standing up for six
months and if he could manage to
pay expenses he would consider him.
self lucky. It is believed that Dillon
county has made a close trade and
will get the work done for one-half
of what it would have cost a year
ago.
The road will be 32 feet wide and
have a clearance of 50 feet. Landowners
along the highway have agreed
to allow the county to get clay from
thietir lands and the mixing of sand
and clay will be under the direct supervision
of an experienced engineer.
The work will beein from Dillon both
ways at the same timfc and the contractors
have 200 days in which to
complete their contracts, but it is
thought they will finish in half that
time,

Paving Streets of Bennett.sville.
Bennettsville. April 24- ? Rapid
pi ogress is being made in putting
down the asphalt on the streets

all joints on the water mains. A
number of shade trees in the business
section had to be taken down.

Feeling that the people of Marion . *
had ceased to show sufficient inter- <
est in the county fair, the delegation
from Mullins sought to induce the di-]
rectors to order the fair held thi-: year '
in Mullins instead of Marion. Ma- 1
rionites objected to the directors de- J
elding such an important question. ]
they stated that this was a matter,
for the stockholders to settle. The j
proposition was finally submitted to
ithe stockholders.
| Mullins offered to furnish a permanent
location for the fair, a guaran-1
i tec of $2,000 and the moral support |
jof the town. This proposition was;

Paris, April 24?\Vhile the French

is indulging in un orgy of extravagance

miniature casinos where jewelled
women play nightly at baccarat and
poker instead of bridge, the passion
for risking large sums has extended
even to the poorer people.
Literally Incredibly sums are wag|?-d
daily on the races. The reason
for this is said to be the inflation of
11he- currency by which everybody in
France has ostensibly five times more
cash than before the war.
Mushroom millionaires are springing
up daily with each drop in the
value of thy franc. The Sunday dinners
at the Ritz. which had become
known as the smartest functions in
Europe, have degenerated into an exposition
of bare backs, barbarous
jewels, fat wallets and ostentations

James Norton Winslow, leader of
the young old set, was especially conspicuous.
A group of debutantes were
insisting upon teaching him the steps
of the new dance?the Girondelle ?
despite the fact that his 80 years necessitate
the use of a cane.
Mrs. Richard Owen, nee Hilton,
grand daughter of Judge Hilton of
New York, has sprung a sensation.
She is wearing 32 jade bracelets,
reaching above the elbow. She is being
outdone, however, by a portlv nia

a tattooed butterfly.
Another furore is caused by a redhaired
beauty who is wearing1 a sacerdotal
robe, explaining that it was
given to her by a priest. Another is
wearing a Chinese mandarin robe
with her hair arranged on her teni
pies, maiden fashion.
The greatesj. sensation of all, however,
was reserved for an anonymous
beauty, who, conceiving the ide.i
of revealing nature, has a new "fall

ings but has sandals. Realizing thai
she needed some adornment for con

WHOSE OX IS OOKF.O
i
| Under the above caption The Lan- t
|caster News says: ^
"The Dillon Herald commends Gov- 1
jernor Cooper's advocacy of the can-'i
celing of the war debts against the t
allied nations of Europe. It sounds i
good, but one great troubK* with we'
Americans is we rush right into too 1
many things without so much as a i
thought us to the result. Who Is j
the debtor of Europe? A corporation
in which all of us are stock- f
holders; it was our money that was
loaned to the countries of Europe, t
I>-t us illustrate: f
We bought Liberty bonds so that i
[this country could carry on its part r
of the war and also make loans to i
its allied nations; the money we i
! paid for Liberty bonds was the nion- i
|ey that was loaned to Europe. Now,
let us be fair. ]
j "Will tile Herald or will Governor 1
Cooper come out in favor of canceling
the Liberty bonds? Would i
it be anything more than fair, if we1]
'should cancel the debts the nations ;
'of Europe owe us?
uuwniur vuo[H'r, says t 11 - ji?t- i
'aid. "tiik?s a bold stand in advocat-'
ing so swooping a measure, but imposition
ho takes can bo sustained
by the soundest of logic and reason."
Certainly it Can, if v.v are
financially able to cancel the debt
'our own country owes. It would
be a magnanimous act on the part
of th?. people of tin- I'liited States
ho burn their Liberty bonds and say
to tbe government: "You owe us
nothing"? if we were able. The
'Herald evidently believes we are, for
i( says: "We can Ins.- what Ku;ope
owes us and never feel it."
"It is true that one working under
, t hc? burdens of a heavy debt works in
J the dark and with his hands tied.
. We have some personal experience
. with that condition, but on the otlur
; hand it has been the \\;ry making
;! of many a man to get in debt and
. get out. Instead of it tending to
.'cause people "to lose all interest
lin the future," as. the Herald thinks
. it would, it should cause a man to
. put forth more effort, buckle down,
i, !aml ge, out from under the burden.
.! "They see nothing before thorn,
. but years of toil," says the Herald,
t "they have neither the spirit nor the
.'ambition to help themselves, and
.'where such conditions exist indus.
trial rehabilitation is a slow and paint
fill nrocess." Is not that a itith..r s? ?
. riotia indict merit of the peoples of
the European nations? Certainly
linen wh0 fought like the Htitish and j
the French have not lost "the- spirit
'o,- the ambition to help themselves."
In our opinion. Governor Cooper
blundered when he said in a speech
a, Spartanburg that the best thing
the United States can <Jo is to cancel
its war debts."
The Herald is not moved in this
'mutter by feelings of sympathy or
sentiment- We are sorry for tin people
of Europe, but our sympathy does
'not go so far tha, we want to make
t! em a present of eleven billions of
dollars. The Europeans claim they
cannot pay interest on tli< debt That
in itsdf is an acknowledgment that
t':cv ire broke, if tlu-y are broke how.
can we collect? Germany says sincannot

how are the Allies to gci out of ln-i ?
If the Allies cannot even pay interest
ill what they owe how do 111 y expect
Germany to pay interest and
principal? Those in authority
Washington (and among tie in are

That may be a shrewd way of placiiu

business cannot pet on its f?et
.again tin'il Europe pets where sincan
