The statement by the supervisor
that the road from Princeton to Ware
Shoals is to be improved immediately
Is a gratifying pilece of nie,ws. in spite
of the fact that the motives of Ibau
rens county authorities have been re
peatedly (iuestioned as to the imilrove
ment of this road, reasonable minded
men know that nothing short of nec-es
sity has caused its apparent n egiect.
iWe believe that the same spirit with
whicli the road authorities have wres
tied with this road problem animates
them in regard to the Greenwood
Laurens highway and mvill finaily re
sult in a proper solution of this im
portant road problem.
D)IVORCE.S.
A F-partanbuirg minister in tom
menting in his sermon on the nomina
tion of Gov. Cox, of Ohio, for the pres
idential. ofice stated a few days ago
that he Could not vote for him unless
he was satisfied that Mr. Cox was jus
tified in his divorce from his first
wife. The fact that the minister be
lieved it possible for Mr. Cox to be
justifled in the divorce naturally rais
es the question whether a divorce is
justifIed at all and that whether or not
South Carolina may not, be wrong in
its attitude toward the divorce ques.
tion. If a man ot woman may be justl
led in securing a divorce in Ohio, why
may not the same argmnent' apply In
South Carol'ina? Anotifer rhinister,
Dr. D. M. Douglas, of Clinton, says
that any man or woman, after mak
ing a careful investigation, will feel
that he or she can conscientiously
vote for Mr. Cox. As showing the tol
erance with swhich a minister of the
gospel can approach this question,
we give )r. Dougla. letter to his 10
-cal paper, The Chronicle, on the sum
ject:
"I read with a great (eal of inter
est a statement from a Spartanburg
minister that he could not vote for
Mr. Cox unless he was satisfied that
Mr. Cox was justifie(l in his divorce.
"' firmliy believe that leaders of
the moral forces in the United States
should assert themselves. Vonl go to
a convention and you find all groups
of interests pressing their demlyands
and in a way they are given' a h'er
ing. I believe, in the same way, mor
itl leaders shoiulld make their de
"However, I am glad to say that t
believe any man or woman, after'
making an investigation, will feel
that lie or she can consctiouisly
vote for Mir. Cox. -I felt that way
before endorsing him for spresident,
and r feel that I am as strongly op
posed to divorce as anyone. I think
.there ar'e thbree facts that will con
vince any man oir woman that Mr.
'Cox must have been justified in his<
divorce. First, his for'mer wife mar
ried again in something like two1
.weeks after the divorce wvas granted,I
whereas, Mr. ('ox did not marry1
again for eight years. Secondh, the
women of Ohio have stood by Air.
Lox, and, I understand, have always <
come to iiis defense. And third, he
has bneen elected governor of Ohio
three times, and his divorce has nev
er been brought into the campaigns,
even by his nemnies.
"A gentleman, in (discussing the
mattem' with me, said, 'You know,
sometimes people arc unfortunate,'
and added that lie attendled a social
function in Cincinnati and asked the
<wife of a leadling republican about
LMr. Lox's divorce. She said he was
absolutely justified in getting it. Of
course, the Democrats wish that they
did not have even to explain why1
Mr. Cox is a divorced man, but, as
'Mri. IHarding married a divorced wo
man, lhe will have no advantage over
Mr. Lox hei'e."
Mr-. L,. S. Iloit Withdraws.
To the Voters of 'Lauirens County:
On accouint of continued ill health
I have djecided that I will be physi
cally unable to make the campaign
this summer as I expeetedl to do, andl
for this (.reason I have dleelded to1
withdraw from the race foi' the legis
Itaure. I regret this very much but
the circumstances are beyond my con
trol, as I see the situation now,
In withdrawving from the rae1
think my friends throughout the coun
ty who ha've so generously offered menc
their support and other's who have
given me conaideration in any way.
I assure them that all this is most
bear'tily appreciated.

eader is under indictment, charged
vith the killing of soldiers and civil
aus at Columbus, N. .M., In 1916, and
the placing of himself under the laws
>f his own country may mean that his
extradition will be sought. In such
contingency the Mexican government
might be offered fresh embarrass
ment.
A rise from bandit with price on his
head t'o one of the dominant figures
in .lexico and a fall again to outlawry
comprises the career ofg Francisco
Villa, a man -both loved and hated as
no other -has been in Mexico since the
time of B3enito Juarez.
Born in 118,68 in the lile mining
town of Las NIevas, Durango, of peon
parents, he followed the trade of
butcher until the death of his father,
when lhe and his mother and sister
went to 'western Chihuahua. There
hIe became a vaquedo Oil one of the I
rent cattle ranches and obtained tihe
minute knowledge of the wild and
mountainous country which enabled
him to laugh at pursuit for many
va rs.
Many stories are told of his first
lash with the laws of .lexico, but the
lIe most frequently related is that a
c'alptain of one of President I)iaz's
regiments woni the heart of his sister
Ind eloped with her without the for
mality of a marriage. Villa. accord
inlg to the tale, pur sued file pair, fore
ld a marriage, forced his newly ae
tiired brot her-in-law to sign his o0wI
leati certilleate and dig his own
Srave, shot him and esenped to the
mountains. Whatever the truth of
his re)ort, President )iaz placed a
price on his head.
