Dleaso Is the latest go ?>dp In political circles In South Carolina, according to Information forthcoming from reliable sources. This programme wus decid ed on some time ago, so It Is under stood, and, it Is claimed, will be put in actual operation by the first of next month. That the McLaurln backers arc anx ious to obtain the endorsement of Gov ernor Cole L. Please is also well un derstood, but It is stated that they have been unable to do so. It Is un derstood thai Governor Bleaso was in vited to Uendcrsonvllle some time back, as was chronicled in The News and Courier tit the time, and the ad vantages of the McLaurin organiza tion outlined to him, and he was urged to enter thr- combination, endorse Mc Laurin for Governor and they would back him for the Senate. However, the Governor has stated all along that he was not going to mix in tho next Gubernatorial race, it is understood that he declined to have anything to do with the McLaurin movement. It Is true that many of ltis former support ers are now behind Mr. McLaurln for Governor and that ho was and still is friendly with McLaurin, but will not endorse him or anybody else for Gov ernor?that much he has stated sever al times publicly and emphatically. Leon M. Green, until recently was editor of the Anderson Intelligencer, a weekly newspaper, which has here tofore been a warm friend of the pres ent administration. Col.

NARROW TIRES RUIN ROADS On Farm Wagon* Six Inch Tiro Would Keep Highway* Well Packed and Prevent Mud and Ruta?Would Re quire Legislation. I don't suppose that 1 differ from the other engineers or from expert road builders, but my Idea or a perfect coun try roiyl Is lids: A dirt road of easy grades, well drained, plowed deep, graded and harrowed and last, but by no means least, thoroughly and heav ily rolled. This lolling will make It solid and homogeneous and prevent sink holes, says Thomas II. Klllg iu Southern (mod Itoads. Then when It is opened to the pub lie there is a toad superior to any pave ment or tnncudnmixed surface for six reasons, which are: This road Is cheaper to build In the lirst place?the material Is "right there." it is more easily and cheaply kept iu good condi tion. It Is easier on horses' feet. It Is pleasanter for Unlit and pleasure trav el, it is equal to any road for heavy work un long as It remains good. Wide tires will cause it to remain good. The people the country over have been very generous to themselves In assuming such a vast amount of bond ed Indebtedness for the purposes of obtaining good roads. Naturally the general idea Is that the money thus expended will give them roads permanently good. Hut will it be so? No road, however well bllllt. will lake care of itself with the pres ent means of I rattle. Under the antiquated system of care lakin? now in vogue the sad experi ence of generations teaches us that it will he useless to look for any proper care or attention being given them when It Is needed. Neither do I believe the public will stand for the expense of a gang of men on the roads in every township the greater portion of the year with n uuii.mxa a mar road. big road tax behind it. How. then, will the roads Ik? kept up? Or will they dually fade away into the same old rough, muddy condition we have been used to for so many years? 1 wish to suggest a method that will meet the emergency, and if public opinion favors It we can have ge<?d roads at all seasons of the year, and the cost of upkeep will be so liuht as to Im> almost nominal. We should give attention not to the roadbed It self, but to the vehicles that travel It. for In that direction we will liud the remedy against bad roads. Take the ordinary farm or lumber wagon, In constant dally use every where for hauling loads, heavy and light. It weighs approximately l.(HK) pounds, or half a ton. The wagon will convey a ton and perhaps at times more thnn that; but, as we are dealing only iu general terms, say the wagon with a full load will weigh one and a half tons and It travels on wheels with a tire tread of two and one-half Inches. When we come to think of the number of these farm wagons, more or less loaded, passing and re passing continually over the public highways with a tire tread of only two and one half Inches and see their effect upon the surface when the ground Is softened from frequent rains It seems as though better machinery . for cutting up atul spoiling a roadbed could hardly be devised. While the rond is drying out the injury Is still going on and (lnnlly leaves the surface rough, full of ruts-and let me say ? rl;rht here that ruts are the worst en (?my of rubber tires- with frequent mudholes to go through or around un I til a track more or less smooth Is worn ; down, ready for the operation to be re pen ted .it the ituM rain. This Is no sup posititious ense, but the muddy real ; It y. as wo all know, and (hose of us who Itnvo crawled along at the ralo of about a mile an hour through liquid mud al one season and over the rough fro/en ints at another, to our sorrow ami vexation, can testify that such travel lug is anything but joy riding. CtoTt Blease Tu Democrats. Under the caption, "MU8t Do With- 1 OUt Blease"?meaning that Governor 1 Blease has "passed up" the Woodrow | Wilson regime?The New York Times prints a story from Its Washington! correspondent, to the effect, using thej correspondent's words, "that Cole L. Blease has seceded from the Cnlon.i' and left Woodrow Wilson Hat on his! hack and crying for help, lie has an nounced it in a letter to Thomas J. Pence, who is running the congres sional campaign for the Democratic party and who sent out a circular let ter to the various Democratic gover nors asking them to help out. Most of them replied perfunctorily that they would. Cole L. Please replied sternly, hut with a certain dignity. Here is what he said about Woodrow Wilson, and it will be observed that when Mr. Please intimates that the common people will have to net along without him in future, It Is largely because he can clearly see what im pends when Mr. lilease's friends don't get jobs. To say that the republic is tottering Is merely to toy with words." The letter from Governor Please to Secretary Penfce Is given as follows: "Dear Sir: Your letter of August 4th has been received. In reply, I beg to state that the present adminis tration at Washington has been very painstaking and careful In absolutely Ignoring the present governor of South (";i rollna.

"Some of his very bitterest enemies I have been appointed to important po sitions, and it lias been publicly talk ed here that they were appointed for the purpose of dicrediting Please and trying to aid in his defeat for the United States senate. Therefore, I must say that I am surprised at the receipt of your letter, and particular ly the last clause of your letter, In speaking of the election! of United States senators. "However. I can assure you that.1 whatever may be the purpose of your | committee and of the administration in regard to taking part in these lights, I will be the next senator from South Carolina, unless God Almighty Intervenes by destroying my health or my life, which I am earnestly, pray ing to Him every day to strengthen Infstead of making weaker.
