HIGHWAY COMMISSION TO JOIN
|?F.< ?IM I OF STATF.
Hearing Attended by Uirgo Number
ot HepcesonUtUcH W1h> Hoy It
Means Much to Peoplo.
Columbia, Nov. 30.?The State high?
way commission has commltt-ul itself
to bridge crossings for the Santee WVt*
er. This was done by resolution af
tsr hearing the arguments from rep
reeontatlves from a number of coun?
ties yeetsrday afternoon.
Tbe highway commission is deter?
mined to build for all time, and as far
as is within its power to provide free
end easy communication between the
people of the upper part of the State
and thoee living below the Santee.
As ore speaker expressed It yester?
day, for two hundred years the San?
tee river has divided the people of
the State and It was time that the bar?
rier be broken down.
Tbe State highway commission has
determined to break It down. The
commission has not yet decided upon
the location of the bridges. Only one
routs hat been surveyed, that across
the Santee by way of Plncknjy's nea
Parlera Other routes will now bo
surveyed, and the two best routes will
be selected.
It will then be for the people to
provide half the funds necessiry. The
federal government will supply tho
other half. The cost will be approxi?
mately $175,000 for each bridgo
When they are built the people of
Darlington. Dee, Dillon. Chesterfield.
Florence. Wlllamaburg. Clarendon
end Sumter will have one of two di?
rect routes to Charleston, Georgetown.
Orangeburg, Bamberg. Alken and the
southeastern section of the State.
It means the Unking together of
tbe people of the State as never bo
fore.
There was a full and free discus?
sion of what was needed to give the
greateet number of people of this
State free sccess to both sides of the
Santee River at the hearing which
sea* held In the Chamber of Com?
merce yesterday.
The main question was whethc
there should be one or more bridges
built acrose the Santee, aid where
these bridge* should be.
Four propositions were presented:
One for a bridge at St. Raul's or
Plnckney's Landing, whlc 1 wouM
rreea the river near Pariert; another
to cross the river at Murray's Landing
near Gourdln; another at Ianneau'd
Landing, which is about 12 or Ifl
ml1** from Georgetown, and about
ths same distance from Andrews; tin
fourth was to cross the river at
Masyck's Landing which Is practical?
ly on the coast between Georgetown
sad Charleston.
This would open the Old King's
Highway and was advocated most
sealously by Mr. Morrison, of McClel
Isnvtlls.
Msjor R G. Thomas, chairman ot
the commission, presided; the other
commissioners were: Prof. A. G. Car?
son of the University, F rof. Hale
Houston of Clemson Col ege, C. O.
Hearon of Sparenburg and Thos.
W. Cothran of Greenwood.
Ifr. Andrews of Georgetown was
sn advocate of building the bridge at
Lanrea^i's. He thought that this point
would serve ths people of Horry.
Msrlon. Florence. Darlington, as wsll
as ths people of Georgetown, better
than at any other point. He stated
that the bridge could be built thero
for about $150,000, provided heart
timber was used. Knglncer Murray,
however, stated thnt the government
required creosoted timber which was
more expensive and would make the
cost about $180.000.
Dr. Olln Sawyer of leorgetowu
supported Mr. Andrews. He state I
that so far as the people of George?
town were concerned they preferred
the bridge at Maxycks on the Kin
Highway, and that he thought a
bridge at Lanneau's would be of ssr?
nee to more people Ho reit that th'
commission should adopt a compru<
miss measure, and shou'd look for
permanent rondu all times, lb
took the position that If a bridge wa.?
built west of the Coast Lino Road
that It would praetlc tllv cut off n
great many of the peoplo who liveil
east of that road.
W. H. Dennis, county supervisor ol
Berkeley, advocated the building ol
ths bridge at Murray's landing, whicli
IS not a great distance from Gourdln
H* took the position tha' this would
give access to the best r ?ad through
Hsrkeley countv. . i rut ti.it the road
would be more easily nt.ii ntS lasd th in
sny other road which could be built.
Senator F,pp? of \\ ilharnshiirg also
favored the building of the bridge W\
Murrsy's Landing.
W. S. James of IdM was a strong
advocate for Murray's landing. He
showed that It would he the shortest
distance for the people from Itishop
ville. Darlington and Florence to
I harlsaton.
! K Mreedon of Clarendon County
advocated the building of the bridge

OLD BRITISH STATESMAN ADVO?
CATES REVISION OF AL?
LIES' ? LAN.
Open Letter Published by Marquis of
fsmsdosrac Who for Muny Years
Was One of the Leading Statesmen
Of British Empire.
London, Nov. 29.?The strongest
impetus to a renewal of the heated
discussions of the rival schools on
the war policy of he allies was pro?
voked today from a most unexpected
quarter by tho publication of a Jong
letter from the Marquis of Lans
downe, Strongly pleading for revision
Of the allies' war aims and an at?
tempt to secure peace before "tho
prolongation of the war leads to the
ruin of the civilized world."
The Marquis o. Lansdowne is a
typical representation of the old Tory
party. He was a member of As
qulth's coalition administration and
was secretary for foreign affairs In
Lord Salisbury's \nd Mr. Balfour's
ministries. He w i.s viceroy of India
and the governor general of Canada.
II?- was the last r uhlic man to be sus?
pected of pacific '.endencies.
His letter give:- formal adhesion to
President Wilson | policy of a league
of nations and he asked "what would
he the value of the blessings- of peace
to nations so exhausted that they can
scarcely stretch i arth a hand to grasp
them ?"
Lord Lansdov. le contends that an
immense stimulus would be given to
the peace party la Germany if it wero
understood: "First that the annihila?
tion of Germany as a great power was
not desired; sec nd, that we do not
seek to impose ?;pon the German peo?
ple a form of government against
their choice; third, that, except as a
legitimate war treasure, we do not de?
sire to deny to Germany her place
among the great commercial coun?
tries; fourth, that we are prepared af?
ter the war in concert with the other
powers, to examine the international
problems Conner ted with the freedom
of the seas; that we are prepared to
enter into an international pact in
which ample opportunities will be
given for the settlement of internat?
ional disputes by peaceful means.
Lansdowne's long and intimate
connection with foreign affairs and
diplomacy lends unusual authority to
such a pronouncement at the mo?
ment of the meeting Of the inter-al
lied conference at Paris and because
of Clemenceau I recent declaration
against a league of nations including
Germany and already there are indi?
cations of embittered controversy ove^,
it.
It is authoritatively announced that
x \ the government had no pre\ious
knowledge of the letter and the
strongest supporters of the govern?
ment In the evening press suggests
that the letter is very unwelcome to
the government. Under the caption
"Lansdowne's Strange Letter" and Cue
subhead, "The policy of talking to the
tiger" The Evening News strongly de?
murs against I ansdowne's suggestions
on the ground that Germany's word
can not be trusted in any nmtter and
that an attempt to argue with her
would he a sheer waste of time.
On the oth< r hand the Asquith
papers hail the letter as one of the
most remark le documents that the
war has produced. The Star greeting
the letter as he most formidable at?
tack yet made on the Lloyd-Georgelan
"knockout blOW policy."
Count von lertling referred to the
fact; that the ! ussian government had
sent from Ts rskoe Selo a wireless
communication signed hy Trotzky and
Lenine and addressed to the govern?
ments and the peoples of the belliger?
ent countries, proposing that negotia?
tions for a tri ee and a general peaco
he opened at an early date and said:
"I do not hesitate to declare that
In the pro pose hi of the Russians gov?
ernment, so far as at present known,
debatable principles on which opening
of negotiations may be based, may bo
recognised and that I am ready to en
ter into such so soon as the Russian
government sends representatives
having full powers for this purpose.

seon take definite shape and bring us
