F U AL't.l.,) (voR. ,AR. BOWEN AND THE ALLIES. The interest of the entire country foi the past several days has been centred upon the negotiations now in plrogress bet\ween Minister Bowen, representing \enezuela, on the one hand, and the representatives of the allied powers, England. Germany, and Italy on the other. Venezuela for a long time has been a very stubborn debtor and has succeeded in very thoroughly exhausting the pa tience of her European creditors. Trans actions between nations, unlike those bet ween: individuals, are always made intricate by a ponderous system of di plomacv, and there have been courte sies and counter-courtesies, discourte sies and eonnter-diseourt esies and propo sitions without end. Finally the allied powers. after due notice to the United States. the friend of \'enezuela, insti tuted a blockade of the \'enezuelan ports and demanded settlement of the long standing debts. The German war vessels went so far as to bombard Fort San Carlos. an act which at the time was very generally condened in the United States, and a sufflicient reason for which Germany has never yet seen fit to advance. It was finally agreed between the representatives of the two sides that thirty per cent. of Venezuela': customs receipts should be set, aside for the sat isfaction of her debts. The agreement was sub,mitted to the allies and they cutered objection on the ground that in asnuch as it was through their efforts that Venezuela had agreed to terms their claims sh .ud hbe given preference over all others. In other words, that the sh.,ul receive the whole of the thirty per cent. untii their claims had been paid and then the other creditors should be considered. This proposition Mr. Howeni refused, and in the press repo trIts It \vas st atedi as his reason that by u.tch an agreement there would he incorporated 'in tl law of nations a doctrine in conflict with the tenets of all mode"rn ethies,'' viz., that "blockades and lbnmb,ardtments of forts, and the cons"llin lt killing of helpless men, wom'en and chiltlrcn. entitles qnv power. (r allianie of 1,towcrs. to preferential treatntt at the hands of a civilized nat ion.' That is a very noble senti ment, anl grouniI well taken. But im in'diately following came a counter prolu>sition from Mr. Bowen to the etl'ect that the allies would he given this preferential treat uncut for a stipu latel time. one month. or six months, or one year, if the allies so desired, as if there were any difTerence so far as princile' is c'nerned in "prefer enutial treatmunut'' fir one month or fom a thousand years Nevertheless. that was Mr. Howen's proposition. l'e day after this proposition was suithtted. the press dispatches, which V.'' ve:. ividentily inspired, stated M Howen has stated that he is will igt that the allies receive pref.erentia treat ment for one month, if at theit enh( oft that time all the claimant natiom~ he. placed on an equal basis as to tinul andi prioortionate piayments. It is the etinvictionl of the negotiators, at least, hat thle Iproposi tion of Mi'. Howven ia euminen tly fair'. It involves a compro misc of t he. powers' original requeti(st foi six year's' pureferent ial trueat ment, but will enable them to retain a partut, at least, of tlieiir prestige. The feeling i growing that a puresistence in theit pr~~.esent lposi tion can result only in los.' of prestige for the allies anid bad feel. inlg against them, not only in Venezue I, butit elsew heire thoutghou t the Amuerl eas." ThPlat was the status of theo mat ters onu Tuesday. By Wednesdlay night no answer froin the allies had yet beer received, but WVashington was confident hey would agree to "'three mnonthe prneferent ial trueat ment.' 'There is ne doubit that Min ist er lowen really represents the Uiteod St ates as well as Venezuela, and that. if Venezuela is brought into trioubile tha Ulnitedl States will go with her. There has been some e'orit to make it appiear that Germny is hostile to this country, and is dlireet - ing heir part oif the ne'gotiations ac'ord( ingly. Th'lis, howe'ver, is not generally believed, and it is thought that the fact that Preidenioit R{oosevelt has expre'ssed a dlesir'e that some' agreement bt reachted in Washington wvill aid very materially in bringing the negotiatiomi to a speedly and satisfactory conclusion, TIhere is j ust about one chance in z thousand that bad feeling will develo1 bet ween the UTnitedl States and Ger matny andl lead 'o) tr'ouble. GOOD) ROADS. Ther,e are few men now living wvhose mfemfor'ies irun back to the time wheni the roads of Newbeirry County were in wer'se condition than they are at pres ent. A nd seeptism runs riot when these few tell of that time. Everybody says that something ought to be (lone, and the roads become worse. We have agitated goodls roads so often and so long that the subject has become rather btirdensoine, and in this 'oninection wve simp)ly (desire to qutote an article which appeared this wveek in at paper putblished in Cherokee Couinty. This in ordler to let otur pecople know what the people of other counties are dloing: Every citizen of Cherokee should take off his hat to our honorable Board of County Commissioners. The board held a meeting r'ecentl y in the supervisor 'a office andI decided to give an order for $7,286 worth of good road machinery, This outfit wvill embrace a traction en gine, rock crusher, rollers, dumpers, road machines, elevators, plows, etc. The county pro,poses to go into the good roads business on a large scale. It is calculated that with the one-mill commutation tax and the work of the chaingang the county will be able to keep this machinery in operation throughout the year. At present the county has six mules. They will oba bly dispose of four of these mules, as the t.raction engine will do the work. In fact, it will do one-third more work than the mules and at less cost. It will likely be several months before the machinery is delivered and put into practical operation but the movement is one in the right direction. Once the work is commenced it will be continued until the county is a per fect net-work of good roads. This will be a great educator to our people and everybody should lend their support to the county commissioners. It may be two or three years before the good effects of this movement will dawn upon the people, but once they get the idea they will all agree that it was a wise and thoughtful move, and people living in sections where the good roads will not have penetrated will be clamoring for them. Now just a few words of admonition. Don't get impatient if you do not get the good roads first. Remermber that large undertakings require time and a great deal of it. It will be years be fore the county can be traversed, but in good time the good roads will reach your door. This good roads question is one that is absorbing the attention of all thought ful, earnest men. The little tax paid will never be felt and once be gun, and the people get the benefits of a few miles, they will be willing that the tax be increased for good roads. The newspapers of South Carolina have been almost unanimous in saying very kind things of Governor Mc Sweeney and his administration upon his retirement from office. The follow ing from the Gaffney Ledger expresses what we believe to be the general opin ion of the people of the State: Miles B. McSweeney retired from the gov rnorship week before last the best loved governor South CarolIna has had in two decades. He (lid not have the enthusiastic followers that some have had, but he wa, loved by all. He made a goodA governor and he retires without haying engendered bitterness and strife. lie did more to bring the people of South Carolina together than any other man. I s private life will be as glori ous as was his official life, because he is a man. St. Paul's Items. The Woman's Missionary society met at the home of Mrs. L. I. Epting last Saturday afternoon, and at Mrs. G. B. Aull's on Saturday before the first Sun day in January. Each meeting was well attended and was profitable to the society. The next meeting will be at the parsonage on Saturday befere the first Sunday in March at 2:30 p. in. Every lady is invited whether she is a member or not. A hearty welcome awaits all. The St. Paul's Graveyard association met at the church on the 18th of Jan uary and elected the following offieers to serve for one year: President, T. A. Epting; vice president, J. A. C. Kib ler; secretary, John C. Aull; treasurer, John D. Sheely. The president has appointed the following committee: J. J. Epting to show where graves are to be dug; ysrd committee, W. S. Seybt, J. W. _.ichardson; soliciting commit tee. Carroll Sheely, Fred Epting, Al bert Richardson, Joe 'Counts, Fred Wicker, Thad. Kinard. All persons interested1 in St. Paul's graveyardl can contribute to one of the soliciting com mittee. Your money will be taken care of. I will make the assertion that our graveyard is taken care of and cleaned off as nicely or nicer than any country graveyardl in the county and is kept as nicely as some towvn cemeteries. We are needing some grave tools. One man has giv'en a shovel, who wvill give a hoe or line to lower corpse, or any other tool. Mrs. Clarence Richards is visiting her mother, Mrs. R. E.

Columbia, February 6. --Both houses of the General Assembly have acted upon a number of very Important nea. ures of general interest this week. Perhaps one of the most important things which has been done is the rt fusal by the House to extend the time for the payment. of taxes without pen alty. 1O1USK ON CHILD LABOR. The Marshall Child Labor Bill, which has passed the Senate, was taken up in the House on Wednesday. It was vigorously opposed and as ably and vigorously defended. The discussion lasted about three hours, when a mo tion was made and carried that further debate be postponed until tonight. It is almost impossible to make any pre diction as to the final outcome, though the friends of the measure are very confident and hopeful. AGAINST EXCESSIVE INTEREST CHARGES. The House on Monday night, by a vote of 43 to 30, passed Mr. Rainsford's Bill increasing the penalty for usury. The law as it now stands allows the party charged excessive rate of inter est to recover from the money lender the entire amount of the interest and requires the money lender to bear all expenses of such legal procedure as may be required. Mr. Rainsford's Bill provides that a party charged interest above the legal rate may recover inter est and one-fourth of the principal. It seeks to amend Section 1663 of the Code of Laws of South Carolina so that said section shall read as follows: Section 1663. Any person or corpo ration, who shall receive, or contract to receive, as interest, any greater amount than is provided for in the preceding section, shall forfeit twenty-five per centum of the principal and all interest, ant the costs of the action, and seventy five per centum of the original debt, as shall be due, shall be recovered without interest or costs, and where any amount so charged, or contracted for, has been actually received by such person or corporation, he or she, or they, shall also forfeit double the total amount re ceived, in respect of interest, to be collected by a separate action, or al lowed as a counter claim, in any action, brought to recover the principal sum. Mr. Win. L. Mauldin also had a bill to guard against usury. It was reached later in the evening and was killed, al though Mr. Mauldin made a spirited defense. His bill provided that every complaint on an interest bearing de mand shall be verified and shall contain an everment that no interest in excess of the legal rate has been charged. The bill was killed oy a vote of 37 to 35. The House Bill prohibiting the sale of cotton seed at night was killed. The object of the Bill was to stop negroes from selling seed not belonging to them to parties who would not know and per haps would not care, where the seed came from. ON F"REIGIlT RATES. Mr. Johnson's House Bill in regard to rates on freight has passedl a third readling by a very narrow margin. The Bill pr1ovides that railroads shall charge no0 higher rates than are stipulated in the bill of lading, whether foreign or domestic; and that any railroad upon failure to deliver any article included in bill of lading shall pay to consignee up)on demand the full value of said ar ticle. A fine of $200, half to be paid to the p)arty injured and half to the county treasurer, is providedl for each offense. G;OOD RIOADsX nILL KILLED). The House has killed Mr. Aull's Bill providing that the County Boards of Commissioners shall order an election to be held in the various counties of the State +o decide whether or not said counties should issue bonds for macad amizing and permanently improving the public highways. The Bill simp)ly sought to leave the matter to the seve ral counties andI to ordler an election without a p)etition signed by the free holders. Mr. Aull in defending the Bill made his first effort upon the floor of the House. (A full account of this matter is taken from the News and Courier and published elsewhere in this pap)er.) EXTrENSION OF" TIME FoR PAYING TAXES REFUSED). The House on Tuesday killed Mr. Patterson's Bill extending the time for the p)aymnent of taxes without p)enalty to the first day of March. A similar Bill had already passed the Senate. Among those who spoke in op)position to the Bill was Mr. Banks, of New berry, wvho saidl that taxes must be paid and there is no use to keep extend Ing the time. O11. INSPECTION. The Senate sp)ent p)ractically the whole of Wedlnesday's session in dlis cussing twvo Bills. One of these was Mr. Goodwin's Oil Inspection Bill, which was passed to a third readling. The Bill regulates the sale of illuminat ing oil or burning fluid to be used in lamps, etc.. providling for an inspector at a salary of $100 a month and ex penses; a test as to purity; insp)ection for whic.h one-half cent per gallon is to be charged, the fee to go into the treasury, and a p)enalty for violation of its provisions. 1100UR. OF RAILWAY EMPL.OYEs. Mr. Hlydrick's Bill relating to the number of hours railway employes may work in one day was free'y discussed and then postponed. The Bill limits the number of hours to ten and an Imendlment has be.en offered making the number twelve. WINTHROP COLLEGE TRUSTEE.
