Shall we travel on rough, crooked, eavy, sandy roads while our neighors are putting their heads together nd taking hold with their hands, nd almost at a stroke are bettering he condition of the county a hunred per cent, by building good, subtantial roads? See, for instance, hat the daily papers are taking note f Wo nrvtino in thp Anenistn Dflilv lerald of the 20th instant where n army of 350,000 citizens work on oads: Enthused by the new spirit of road uilding in Missouri, thousands of olunteers marched forth from every ounty in Western Missouri to-day d become a part of Governor Major's rmy of 350,000, which, in response > his proclamation, began a twoays campaign that was expected to dd. one million dollars in betterlents to the public highways of the tate. This, the first State wide movelent in favor of better roads, was exected to be not only an epoch l the development of Missouri, ut an example that would be fol>wed by other states and thus lead 3 a general improvement of highays all over the United States. No army ever was better prepared )r a campaign than that which larched forth to "pull Missouri out f the mud." Eight thousand road verseers in the State for weeks have een assembling equipment and laylg out the work to be done so systelaticallv that every squad of men as put to work without delay or infusion. Every city, town and hamlet was ^presented in the movement and in ie farming districts nearly every ble bodied man enlisted. A species f rivalry among the counties, each f ivhirh wanfprl tn makp the best Bcord, promised much for the genral result. Governor and Mrs. Hodges, of Kanis, came to Missouri to give their acve support to the work. They were le guests of Governor and Mrs. Ma)r. The two governors donned their veralls and setting out from Jefiferan City early this morning were mong the first to get on the field of :tion. Mrs. Hodges aided in serving ) the workers fried chicken, which ad been prepared by Mrs. Major. Women took an important part in le campaign. The 6,000 members f the Missouri Federation of Woten's Clubs throughout the State, ided the movement in every way ossible and thousands of farmers' ives and other women prepared and irved meals. Local members of the Daughters t the American Revolution took adantage of the occasion to outline le route of the old Sante Fe trail irough Kansas City. Trolley poles ere marked with red and white ad blue stripes, to show the route. In Jasper county, a protest of the irmers caused the county to rescind 1 order providing that prisoners in le jails participate in the road work. Then we notice what our governor as to say as mentioned in an article l the Charleston News and Courier l the 21st instant, "Christianity irst, Roads Next:" "There is no question before this )untry, unless it be Christianity, lat is ahead of good roads, and good -a-ili hpln Christianitv. If we ave good roads we will have better jhools; if we have good roads we ill have better attendance at the lurches and at the schools. If we ave good roads it will increase the alue of the farms, because they will at them nearer to the towns?in le length of time. If we have good lads it will bring the farms closer > the towns and cities. They will ive the wear and tear to the wagons, utomobiles and other vehicles and iachinery. They will save the ;rength and lives of our mules and orses. There is so much that could e said for good roads, and has een said, that there is no use to intinue it here; but, we can have stter schools, better churches?bet>r attendance at both; better markis and better everything, if we have atter roads." Let us raise a long, loud cheer for lis spirit of our governor, as we see is ideas are in harmony with other oble executives, as we will see again i the following article in the News nd Courier, August 21st: "Everyody Working Roads. Fifty Thousnd Join in Pulling Missouri Out of re Mud." With blistered hands and sore mscles, fifty thousand enthusiastic ood road workers quit their work toight in Missouri after a strenuous ay spent in "pulling Missouri out of ie mud." Good humor everywhere as in evidence and nearly every lan declared he intended to return >morrow. Although mud interfered with the ork of Governor Elliott W. Major nd Governor George H. Hodges, of Kansas, who had volunte ~ed to help ie Missouri Executive, bo.h declared hey would be up early to-morrow nd would make up for lost time. "It has been one of the great days f my life," said Governor Major. As a boy I traveled over nothing but ad roads. I made up my mind then : ever I got a chance I would do all could for better highways. The Governor of Arkansas has advised ie he nas set aside September 20 nr\ 9 9 fnr rnaH wnrk and T am han y at the results." "I intend to fix two road days hen I return home," said Governor lodges. "It is remarkable how jany have responded to Governor Iajor's proclamation. Reports from every county in this art of the State told of throngs of orkers, many of them encouraged y the presence of their wives and aughters who served dinner. The response to the Governor's all throughout the rural region was iberal. In Hannibal all city prisonrs were put on the work. The following item in the News MUST STAND TRIAL. Two Men Are Accused of Violation o Georgia State Banking Laws Augusta, Ga., Aug. 25.?B. Sher wood Dunn of Aiken will have t stand trial in Augusta on the charg of violation of the Georgia bankinj laws. When the Citizens' Trust com panv of Aiken of which the bankrup Interstate Trust company of Aikei was the present institution, collapsed criminal charges were brough against the president and directors but all officials nave oeen success ful in clearing themselves on demur rers except Dunn and Move C. Dowl ing, the cashier, who is a fugitive ii South Carolina.

The case was appeal ed,the Georgia court of appeals toda: rendering a decision sustaining Judg< Hammond. Dunn's whereabouts a present are not known. CATTLEMAN* IX BAD. American Ranch Owner is Throwi Into Jail. Douglas, Ariz., Aug 25.?Stuar Hunt, an American ranch owner an< cattleman of Sonora, with two of hi: cowboys, was arrested to-day a Fronteras, charged with being ai enemy of the Sonora State govern ment. They were imprisoned by or der of Jose Maytorena, the insurgen governor. Hunt was arrested because of i cattle deal. He is charged with hav ing bought from a wealthy Mexicai federal sympathizer cattle that ha< been seized by the State government The American's offense consisted ii not dealing with the State govern ment direct. American cattlemen 01 both sides of the frontier have takei up the question with constitutionalis leaders in an effort to effect Hunt'! release. Pistol Failexl to Fire. Columbia, S. C., August 25.?Oi the failure of the pistol to fire prob ably saved the life of Manager Gray of the local Western Union office to day. A white man, said to be namec Carver, walked into the Westeri Union office and claiming a telegran he sent some weeks ago to his mothei here was only delivered Saturday pointed a pistol which he was carry ing direct at Manager Gray and pull ed the trigger. The pistol snappec and the Western Union office wai promptly vacated by everyone excep the stranger. Coming out on the street and flour ishing his gun, the stranger fired it the bullet narrowly missing a mess enger boy. A crowd gathered an< the man was arrested by a constable Trouble is thought to have tempor arily unhinged his mind. He is saic to be a mill operative and at presen is in the hands of the police. and Courier, August 22nd, shows th< reported result of the two days' effor of Missouri's citizens. "Good Roadi Work in Missouri. Citizens Contri bute Gratis Labor Worth $1,500, 000." Kansas City, Mo., August 21.? Sunset put an official end to-day t( Governor Major's two good road days during which, it is estimated, 250, 000 business men and farmers for sook their business and farms anc went to the highways to give theii work that Missouri might receive im petus to become one of the leading good roads States in the Union. ^ a i -: j j i.:, \\ nen ine last man iaiu aowii in; pick and shovel to-night it was esti mated that the work done had it beei paid for would have amounted t< $1,500,000. As Governor Major bade the las of his workers stop work at Jeffer son City Governor Hodges, of Kan sas, who has been helping Governo: Major with the "job," grasped th< Missouri "Executive's hand." "It's over. Governor, and I con gratulate you and the State of Mis souri," said he. "And I thank you and the peopl< of Kansas for letting you come duwi to help us," responded Governor Ma jor. Governor Major was host at a din ner to-night for Governor Hodges The Kansas Executive will leave lat< to-night for Topeka, where it is an nounced he will issue a call for tw< general road days. Would not the citizens of our coun ty respond in like manner to a cal made by our Supervisor, Senator Clerk, or some officer who would ge interested and issue same? It is no a matter of can we, only if we will It might work a hardship on sonn people right now to stop two or thre< days on account of the cotton gather ing. but we can get our ideas to gether, organize, and by the time w< can do that we will have time. Real ly nothing in the way of work mor important at any time. If we wouli take only the time we give during on month of the summer to base bal and picnics and give to good earnes work on our roads we could have a good roads as we want. C. W. RENTZ. Bamberg, S. C., August 25, 1913. INTERESTED IX CHANGING BILL. | f Amendment to Currency Lt\v Ac-! cepted by the Committee. Washington, Aug. 25.?Represen-| 0 tative Byrnes has been deeply inter- I e ested in an effort to induce the house ! y banking and currency commission to j _ amend the rediscount section of the j t bill so that it would not discrimin-' i 3 ate against notes secured by agricultural products. He with several t other members, has been negotiat, ing with the committee looking to the _ settlement of the differences by the . committee and the representatives of _ the agricultural sections and today ! the committee agreed to accept the _ amendment which specifically states a that agricultural notes shall not be . discriminated against and extended a the time from 60 days to 90 days. Mr. Byrnes stated that while 90 a days is not what he wanted, he a thought it best to compromise and _ accept it. The bill originally made .. eligible only such papers as had maa turity of 45 days. This time will t now be 90 days. White Man Killed. Dillon. August 23.?Allen Cooke, a a white farmer, living two miles south of Dillon, was shot and instantly killed by a negro. John McCoy, yest terday evening about sunset. ^ John McCoy was working a crop on Mr. Cooke's place. For several days t he had been away to the neglect of 2 the fodder, which was ready to pull. Yesterday morning, while Mr. Cooke was in the barn milking, McCoy came t up and was remonstrated with by Mr. Cooke for neglecting his crop. Sharp words passed; later in the day, towards evening, Mr. Cooke went to the field where McCoy was pulling fodder j and the two soon became engaged in an altercation ending in a fight. McCoy's wife, who was the only witness, declared that the two men separated, 1 each claiming that he would get his gun. McCoy went rapidly to his t home, secured his gun, a single-barrel shotgun, and came back, meeting Mr. Cooke before he (Cooke) had reached his home. The negro as soon as he got close enough to be sure of his victim, raised his gun and fired, ! Cooke receiving the load in his left . side, one shot, No. 2, striking the left eye and passing into the brain. He . fell in his tracks, indicating that I death was instaneous. The body was Lis l removed by consent of the coroner ~ 1 to the home where it lay until this r morning, when the inquest was held, the verdict being in accordance with . the facts mentioned above. The negro thus far is at large. Mr. I Cooke was a hard-working, honest 3 and industrious man, about 45 years t old, owning his own farm. He leaves a wife and seven children. Disposition of Money. Washington, Aug. 23.?While the * treasury department would give out * no information to-day regarding the crop moving money going to differ^ ont QrmtVi flarnlina hanks, the State's t correspondent was able to ascertain 9 that Charleston will get $500,000 and a 3 the share of that city will be divided I t amon~ the following banks:* Peoples' B 3 National bank, $175,000; Bank of s _ Charleston, $175,000, and the First I _ National, $150,000. Columbia it is learned will get _ about $400,000 and as far as could be > ascertained this amount will be di> vided between the three following j banks: Carolina National, National j Loan and Exchange, and the Palmetr to National. ? Greenville and Spartanburg, it was 3 also learned, will each receive $300,3 000 and this fund by agreement will - be equally distributed among all the i national banks of those two places 5 which want it. t When the treasury department of ficials were asked by the State's cor respondent if these amounts were [ correct, it was stated that for the ^ present it was not desired that any 9 - figures be printed and therefore || - nothing of confirmatory nature so far lj 3 as the officials named are concerned, ^ l could be had, but the information || - here given was secured from those 9 on the inside and is believed to be fl approximately correct, except that g j the total amount going to Columbia 9 - may be slightly more than here given. 9 3 It is considered that $300,000 for 9 Greenville and Spartanburg is a good 9 sized amount when it is considered ji * that Charleston gets only $500,000 Ij ' but the first two named places were if * placed prominently before Secretary f| McAdoo. || This information is believed to be 1 f| e as nearly correct as it is possible to | i 0 secure it at this time, but not being 1 secured from official sources it is 1 given subject to changes by the treas- 1 0 ury department hereafter. e Child Drinks Poison. 1 e Americus, Ga., Aug. 25.?The 18- appl POE .1 months-old son of Station Agent Wil- ?ica t liams at Leslie, on the Seaboard Air the; s Line railway near Americus, drank from a bottle of poison to-day in the rhe waiting room at the depot and died "e ?
