“‘The <rooil highway is the
straight roa<l that opens the way to
hotter schools, better religious ac
tivities in country churches, better
dwellings, and that means better
homes, more contenment on farms,
larger food production, with more
profit justly earned by the grower

“On one side—the safety of civil-,
ization, increased food' supply, and
the rounding out of the nation’s
life; on the other side—civilzation
endangered, food riots a certainty
of the future, with a nation sunk
in its own- bottomless mudholes,
sometimes called loads”,

Every growing ambitious town
is eonrpo^ed of v three elements-.
Those who work patriotically, vig
orously and intelligently for its ad
vancement ; those who are* an <a
state of apathy or indifference, and
those who take a curious delight in
discouraging the efforts of others by

that any progress dm or has been
accomplished, and by boasts of ev

The last class are called craokprs,
but they are really something
worse, for their opposition does not
arise simp’p from despondency but
from the unenviable spjrft that will
neither act itself or suffer others to

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-

home of his birth- and boyhood and
his school fellows lived twith him and,
when he coula, he visited them. Less

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.

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

The disaussibn has been extremely
fruitful, and the insult has shown the

to tlte Atnerican attitude of no force.
Another good point to remember is
that the actiqp of the. British dele

Zinovieff, dictator of Petrograd, Ka-

it as a diabolical plan to bury bol
