No. 20 Thursday, May 15,1919. Orangeburg county is now effecting arrangements to let the contract for the Columbia-Savannah highwaj through that county, beginning at New bridge on the Edisto. Allendale is likewise preparing to construct its link. It appears to the uninitiated that those 37 United States senators who hurried to sign an agreement not to ratify the league of nations now find themselves in a pretty pickle. The league of nations and the treaty of peace are one and. thg same ?thai is, the league of nations covenant is a part of the treaty. Will the senators ^have enough nerve to refuse to sign the treaty of peace? ^ f > ? While the new city council is making arrangements to pave Main street, The Herald again puts forth the suggestion that a city ordinance he passed?if there be none?forbidding the emptying of drain pipes from the tops of buildings Oh the sidewalks, if there is such a law, a rainy day ?for instance, like Tuesday?suggests strong arguments in favor of its ' enforcement. It is not at all pleas ant to be swamped by a stream of water as one walks along the sideTTolt TW 04UI It is gratifying to note that many of the counties in South Carolina are taking advantage of the federal road .aid. Up to this time more than half of the counties have made arrangements to raise funds in order tdl get dollar-for-dollar from the government. Once we get a few genuinely good roads in South Carolina, the road problem will have almost been solved. For every good road will inspire a desire for more good roads, and when there is a real desire for a , thing which money can buy, the pc pie generally manage to get it. i Naturally, the Germans are putting y up an awful howl about the terms of the peace treaty. They do not seem . to at all realize that they have done anything wrong; in fact, they expected that when peace was signed things would go right on as usual. They are now having another think coming. To our mind the terms of the - peace treaty are exceedingly mild. The Germans say they are willing to admit they are defeated, but that they do desire to get justice. Justice is the one thing the Germans had better pray they will never get. For if they do get justice, we are afraid there will not be many Germans left. m < > m It is likely, Supervisor McMillan states, that arrangements will be made whereby a steel bridge will be constructed over the Edisto river at New bridge. If Bamberg and Orangeburg counties can effect an agreement on the matter, federal aid can be secured to pay for one-half the cost of the bridge, and in view of the imperative need of this bridge, it is believed that the authorities of the two counties can arrange the matter mutually satisfactory. Such a permanent bridge is needed, especially for the reason that New bridge connects the Orangeburg and the Bamberg links of the Columbia-to-Savannah highway. THE SAWED OFF SHOTGUN. How Engineers Stopped Hons at Chateau Thierry. The sawed off repeating shotgun, loaded with buckshot, which was pictured and described in the papers a few weeks ago, appeared in the critical fighting around Chateau Thierry, and more than won its rights to be considered a real American addition to the horrors of war?at least from the German standpoint. The gun worked to such good effect that, to quote Capt. J. H. Hoskins, who used one, "the kaiser would have won himself a war on June 6 had he only pressed his advantage, and had it not been for those shotguns." Captain Hoskins was in command of a company of engineers in those terrific days; but, bad as the Americans needed engineers, they needed combat troops worse, so the captain's -company was thrown in to assist the marines. By the time the company, reduced from 246 men to 72, was ordered to fall back to a trench where the shotguns awaited them, the Germans seemed to "be having things much their own way in that section of the battle front. In a recent issue of the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner, Captain Hoskins tells the story oi I the turn of the battle: "On June 6, though we were en gineers, we got orders to go into the fighting in support of the marines in Belleau Woods as combat troops. We hiked 27 miles in 9 hours without j stopping to eat. We got into the scrap between two regiments marines and fought against overwhelming odds, our opponents being the Prussian guards. The 24 6 men of our company had been reduced to . 72 and ammunition was nearly ex hausted when orders came to fall back to the first line of trenches near by. When we rolled into these we fought with those automatic shot' guns stacked up in bunches of eight, with extra ones lying on the first ' parapet in the rear wall of the trenches and plenty of shells handy. Each gun had a shell in the chamber and five in the magazines. Each shell was loaded with 12 big buckshot and 28 grains of ballistite powder. It nearly kicked us down every time, but we didn't mind that when we saw the execution done to the Germans. The way those squirrelhunting Americans used the weapons was thoroughly effective. Our colonel had ordered that no one should fire until he gave the command, and it looked to me that he waited until they were almost on top of us. But when the word came those guns opened up in earnest. The Germans j were advancing very confidently, for they knew we were in desperate straits. That shotgun volley was new to them. They were advancing well bunched, and every time a gun fired three or four Germans would go dowfi. The more the surprisegripped them, the closer they would huddle, and the deadlier was the fire. When they could stand it no longer they began to fall back, bunched in closer than ever, with corresponding destruction from the guns. Not a German reached our lines?after we began using those shotguns, an<f I'll tell the world that on June 6 the kaiser had won himself a war had he only pressed the advantage and had it not been for those shotguns." WRITE TREATY BY HAND. French Calligraphist Copies New Covenant of Nations. News dispatches from Paris say that the old tradition that treaties shall be written by hand survives, and that Joseph Carlo, of the French ministry of foreign affairs, official calligraphist and pointer, is writing the new peach treaty. For 40 years the post of official illuminator in the French ministry of foreign affairs was held by Mr. Garapin. He had one love in life? * WIXTHROP COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP AXD EXTRANCE EXAMINATION.

Because the yjj^ Edison Laboratories feature ___J Grand Opera Re-creations so constantly some people have the idea that it overlooks the more popular mu3ic. Quite otherwise. It is sorry for the man who can't enjoy a rollicking rag-time ditty. It believes in democracy in music. And it supports f its belief by producing vast quantities of Broadway hits. The Edison Laboratories are exactly as insistent upon a perfect Recreation in recording a transitory rag from Tin Pan Alley, as they call the jazz music publishers' district in New York, as it is an aria sung by a Metropolitan star. "Edison sure makes you earn your mnnpv" remarked a famous comic song singer recently, after repeated trials. "You'd think I was going to sing 'Celeste Aida' instead of a passing hit."

The picture you see above is drawn from an actual photograph of Arthur Fields, the famous ballad singer, testing his own rendition of a recent song hit against the New Edison's Re-creation of it. Whether you live in Bangor or Butte put a Fields' Re-creation on your instrument: close your eyes; and Fields' performance will be just as vivid?just as convincing?as if you'd paid $2.50 for a second row seat at the Palace Theatre in Longacre Square. Three million dollars was spent in research work to perfect the instrument which is capable of standing up to the direct comparison test. But , it was three million dollars well spent. For the result is The New Edison, the only phonograph which can meet this test. Call at our store and hear Arthur Fields and other Broadway favorites. * r EDISON ah With a Soul."
