BAD HIGHWAYS We read on the front page of The Manufacturer’s Record the follow ing: “Thefuture of civilization,! of nratorial, moral and eduoational progress in America depends upon the highways. “Bad highways—mud or deep sand roads—spell backwacdness. Good highways make certain the ad- - - vancements of religion, education and wealth. x Bad highways will drive men and women from the farms into cities, thus reducing the number of food producers and increasing the imiii- l>er of mouths to lx* fed from a V steadily diminishing food supply. That road leads straight r to anarchy and Bolshevism* for a decreasing food supply and increasing popula tion congestion breeds discontent, poverty and ultimately anarchy. pentur* ago his father and mother were teachers in the Laurens acad- roies. AH his life his affection for the home of his birth- and boyhood and his school fellows lived twith him and, when he coula, he visited them. Less than seven years ago when a new public "chool builduig was built he came from Washington, upon Invita tion/to Laurens and delivered the first commencement address In it. It was reminiscent, telling In loving words of the men who had gone before him. some of them his c« liege friends in the University of Virginia and others, notably Captain “Will'’ Farley, the splendid story of whose heroism Jobn Esten Cooke has recorded in “Surrey of Eagle’s Nest,” who were his com rades in field and camp, and it was a noble message of inspiration to tn< later generations to be faithful to their land and its history. Hundreds of men have gone from South Caro lina, to gain distinction in other States, but not many of them have so cher ished the associations of youth. In Laurens are old people and people of middle age who will hehr of his death, though at a fine old age when his pure life had been crowned with honors, with more than momentary sorrow. i' The country had no stauncher and more discerning Democrat than This one-armed Confederate lawyer. In full agreement with the Grover Cleveland school of statesmen in the nineties, sturdy in his clear-headed conserva tism, he was open-minded and pro gressive, too, to the hour of his death pleading for a broad Americanism and lending a hand to strengthen the posi tion of his country among the nations of the world. Within the last two months he wrote letters.Jo the-New Yorlr'NVorldr* contending for the es tablishment of the league of nations remarkable for their clarity and force. A few years ago he wrote and pub- ikshed “The Abolition Crusade and Its Consequences,” a little book that with a. rarely convincing power marshals the facts that prove that the dispo sition for the emancipation ’of the slaves, rapidly growing in the South, until 1830, was only chillbd and check ed when the slave-holders were driven intq a defensive posture by the inflam matory outbursts of the fanatical abolitionists'of Massachusetts. The South has had no manlier de fender in the last half century than this South Carolinian-Alabamian. Tc the erection of the Confederate me morial in Arlington Cemetery he gave a generous part of his time and energy in his last years and he was respon sive upon every occasion when there was need to speak a brave word for wrong to sup pose’.that in this matter the British.have acted as-mediators between extreme .French and the ex treme.

The disaussibn has been extremely fruitful, and the insult has shown the eitrepie alarm of French opinion as to tlte Atnerican attitude of no force. Another good point to remember is that the actiqp of the. British dele gates has proved' once more to the French that, while the British’are ex tremely desirous of retaining their close friendship with , the Americans, they are imbued/with a sense" of con tinental f responsbllities' and allairtces artd thus are able to. qcf—between the old and the new wprfds. • splIt produced in Moscow SOVIET BY ANARCHIST.
