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?

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

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.

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.

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?

[HE war is over?let joy be
unconfined?such is Broad
way's verdict. 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."

great opera stars. In Edison popuThe

lar song hit Re-creations you get the
very spirit of Broadway?that joyous,
carefree abandon which has
made the Great White Way a world
landmark.
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.
