We Need Good Roads.
With automobiles in large numbers
tearing through the country at
thirty miles an hour, and the ordinary
traffic increasing steadily, the
matter of better country roaas is
becoming a vital question with every
rural community in the country.
The size of our crops is not the
only thing to he considered when
speculating upon the future prosperity
of the nation. The matter of
getting those crops to market in the
quickest possible timq and at least
expense is one of the most important
problems we have to deal with
today.
It is an indisputable fact that automobile
traffic cuts great ruts in
out country roads, tears them to
pieces, and renders the hauling of
heavy loads of farm produce doubly
difficult.
But there is a remedy,and it should
be applied.
We should build better roads? I
hard roads?roads that will last.
If it requires a bond issue to do
it, then let us have the bonds.
The increased facilities for marketing
products, and the increase in
acreage as a resu:t of improved
road conditions, would more than

It is a cold, sane, hard headed
proposition for the material welfare
of the whole community, and should
be taken up by the proper authorities
without loss of time.
Wherever you find high grade
country roads, there you invariably
find a prosperous class of people.
We need them here, and we can
accommodate all of the prosperity
that follows in their wake.
Are You a Porcupine?
If you meet your neighbor and he
tsks you if you are a porcupine,
K yy
say yes.
The Loyal Order of Porcupines is
a new movement just inaugurated
in California by the Hon Lyman J
Gage, former secretary of the treasury.
There is no mystery, no initiation
fee, and no ceremony, and yet
ft has caught the public fancy and
is growing by leaps and bounds, and
is spreading all over the country,
wherever people live who are loyal
to our country and its flag.
The porcupine is the only animal
that never bites any one and yet is
never bitten. Its myriad of quills are
its protection, and all other animals
gfre it a wide berth.
Mr Gage would have the United
States in the position of the porcupine.
He would have us so surrounded
and girded by quills of defense
that no foreign nation would
in,redo mir nonpt'fiil shores.

He would not have a great standing
army, nor would he have us
bristle with the curse of aggressive
militarism; but he would have every
it ^
<L *
loyal citizen possess the rudiments
of military knowledge, that when
the time comes we may be in a position
to hurl the invader into the
seas and give adequate protection to
our homes and our wealth.
Like the porcupine, we are a
peace loving people, and ask only to
be left alone to pursue our honorable
course to the end.
Are you a porcupine? Say "yes!"
An efficacious method of preventing
your wife from going through
your pockets is to give her a nickel
occasionally.
There are no cuss words in the
Kickapoo Indian language, which is
proof positive that Kingstree is not
an Indian village.
Never mind the imperfections of
your neighbor. If you correct your
own you will be doing all the community
expects of you.
Really, brother, don't you think
that dollar you perchance owe us on
subscription would be nearer home
if it were in our pocket instead of
yours?
Some men haye brains, some have
energy,a few have both and there are
some who have neither. When one
reaches the latter stage he usually
becomes an office seeker.
Yes, the war is a year old, and the
only thing it has accomplished is the
appalling destruction of human.life,
property and honor. Sherman was
right in his definition of war.
If old Madam Rumor can be relied
upon citizens of quiet old Kingstree
need not be surprised to learn
of several of her popular young men
becoming benedicts at no very distant
day. We are not going to give
any names, so don't ask us to.
Dame Rumor's tongue is awag.
In another column of this paper
will be found an act passed at the
last session of the General Assembly
relating to the catching or stoppage
of fish in inland streams by means of
seines or nets. A careful perusal of
this law as given therein will perhaps
interest fishermen and may
save some of them from being reported
and having to appear in a
magistrate's court to answer charges
of violation.
Blease lor Governor in 1916.
The following is taken from the
Newberry Herald & News, of which
Mr E H Aull,one of Blease's staunch
supporters, is editor:
Gov Blease makes the positive
statement that he will be a candidate
for Governor in the campaign
of 1916. He says the demands for
him to do so come from all parts of
the State and that they are so strong
he cannot afford to deny this demand
from his friends who have stood by
him so many times. Personally he
has no desire to make the race or to
be Governor,because his ambition in
that line has been satisfied by having
served two terms. But if it is the
opinion of his friends that it is his
duty to lead the people in the fight
which is to be made next year, he
cannot give a deaf ear to such a call
and he will respond.
His statement is brought forth by
an article which Mr W P Beard published
in the Scimitar a few issues
back, and the letter is to Mr Beard
in reply to the charge in that article
that there had been a deal between
Blease and Cooper. Gov Blease
leaves little doubt as to his position
in regard to a supposed deal with
Mr Cooper and as to his attitude in
the campaign next year.
If Mr Blease should enter the
campaign next year #it will not be a
dull campaign, but there will be
something doing at every meeting.
There seems now to be no doubt
that he will enter,because his friends
from all parts of the State are demanding
that he make the campaign.

COTTON PLACED IN
CONTRABAND CLASS.
??.
RAW MATERIAL, L1NTERS.YARN
AND WASTE ORDERED UNDER
CONTRABAND.
London, August 22:?Official announcement
was made last night
by the foreign office that Great Britain
had declared cotton as absolute
contraband. Information has been
received that the French government
would likewise do so today.
It was certain many weeks ago
that this step would be taken before
Parliament met again. The Daily
Mail has been referring to the cotton
policy of the government as
"the cotton crime" and attributing
the death of almost every soldier to
the fact that cotton had not been
declared contraband.
What definite steps will be taken
to relieve any abnormal depression
in market conditions was not explained
tonight, as full details are
not settled and negotiations in this
line are proceeding. It is stated, as already
has been done by Lord Robert
Cecil, Under Secretary of State, that
letigimate neutral trade would have
the utmost consideration ]K)ssihle.
Close Time for Fisblng.
With reference to the prohibition
of obstructions in inland waters
such as nets and seines for the pur- |
pose of catching or stopping the j!
free passage of fish, section 129 of i
the 1915 Acts of the General Assem-! I
j
bly of the State of South Carolina, j
provides that: ]
-a- * * "There shall be a close j
time in all the creeks, streams and 11
inland waters of the State from the ; >
setting of the sun each Thursday! j
until the rising of the sun each Monday.
during which time all seines,
nets or any plans or devices for the
- - ii _ ? .?u:.u I !
stoppage or coiiecung ui nsu, which m
obstruct any portion of any creek, ;|
stream or inland waters other than j
a dam for manufacturing purposes, \
shall be removed from said creek, \
| J
streams or inland waters; and any 1J
person or persons using such seine, |
net, plan or device in violation of j t
the provisions of this act shall be! ]
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, j
and, upon convictiorr thereof before:!
any court of competent jurisdiction, j
shall be fined in the sum of two \
hundred dollars, one-half of. which \
shall go to the informer and the 1
other half to the court in which the I
case shall be tried, or be imprisoned
for a period of not less than three
nor more than six months,or both, in
the discretion of the court trying
the case. Nothing herein contained
shall apply to fishing with dip nets
used by hand. And wherever any
seine, net or any plan or device for
the stoppage or collecting of fish, as
above stated, shall be used, the
Chief Game Warden or any Warden
shall have the authority, in the name
of the State of South Carolina, to
seize and hold said seine, net or plan I
or device for the stoppage or collecting
of fish, and to use the same as
evidence for the purpose of convicting
any person violating the provisions
of this section; and upon conviction
of the person so using said
seine, net or plan or device for the
stoppage or collecting of fish, the
same shall be forfeited to the State
and sold, the proceeds of said sale
to be transmitted to the credit of 1
the Game Protection Fund."
Section 765 provides that it shall
be unlawful at any time during the,
year to stretch any, staked nets, j
seines, wire iences ur naps muici
than half way across the river or |
streams, or to use any seines in any;
of the lakes of this State, except;
where such basins or lakes lie wholly
within limits of private property of
this State. Any person violating:
this section shall be punished by im-1
prisonment for not more than six 1
months, or be fined not more than
one hundred dollars, or both fine
and imprisonment, at the discretion
of the court.
The man who prides himself on
giving others "a piece of his mind,"
never seems to secure any peace of
mind by the process.
