Correspondent Discusses Sigh
way Across Wateree
River
To the Editor of The State: .
The announcement that a serious
? effort is to be made to construct a
highway across'the Wateree river and
swamp is cheering news, but the pro
fispect ? is so very expensive that the ut
p/; - jnost care should be exercised in se
lecting the route the highway ' is to
^ \ taicey i A great deal of propaganda in
. favor- of the old Garner's Ferry eross
/-'ling"^ich leads to Stateburs; has" been
placed-before the public/during the;
V past'tea years and many people doubt- j
less believe that' route is" most'desir^j
< ??<?i>1p! simpry because there was aj
crossing there in the old* days when j
v * Statebr.rg was a town of considerable j
importance with which a connexion j
B^was necessary. - Conditions have, hew- j
j*? V" ever, chkng/d very much, since thyose j
v^; Says and it is very doubtful now that!
:?: ;'_th<. old*, route is even desirable. I-idsj
:l| ? certainiy no longer necessary, and thej
c/; changed conditions require a. change j
of route. - j
In selecting the route it must bei
borne in mind that the only purpose of j
'4 a- highway k? to serve the public and!
that the route which serves most peo-!
pie to the best advantage is most de-j
- sirable. This principle, of the sound-'j
ness of which there can be no doubt, j
entirely eliminates at the present time1
a crossing at Garner's Ferry.. - The}
serviceable route between Sumter and |
Columbia would pass through Wedge-1
'field and Eastover. prosperous villages]
of several hundred inhabitants each, i
2'snrrounded by thickly populated diSr j
' ' "tric?s" of- fine farming lands. This;
route coming from Sumter .and j
Wedgetield would passrirom Eastover {
northwest to the Garner's Ferry road'
.which "it would Vinter at a point 17~
miles.from Columbia, going on to Co- i
oan.be found in South Carolina. On i
ti^e.'/Other "hand, the'-Garner's Ferry?
- route from the 17 mile'post to the- riv- i
er: passes.-- through a thinly settlecfi
sand';;JiiU 'country, undeveloped and!
? ' With very low tax., value's. It is _ with -j
.out-telephones and other conveniences;
?\.'?f- great value to travelers: In short,!
^'?'the route by Garner's: Ferry would j
;.<; serve r praeticaUy only autoriiobiiists .
;1? passing between* Sumter and Columbia j
% .While* a highway through Wedgefield j
S^/and Eastover1 would serve automobil-!
9&&sts. just as well as, the other and in
^^addition would /serve,- thousands of
"?/people who need good highways for
. lovcal purposes as much as automobii
ists driving .for pleasure or business
- between .the cities mentioned need' the
vr^wfaole length of* the road.
-As a matter of fact, this question
has been settled in favor of the Ease
over route' by the law providing for
? the $2,000,000 bond.issue. It is therein
provided that the hard surface road
? shall proceed from Columbia- down;
the Garner's Ferry road to the 17 mile i
post, where ft must turn and continue j
*o Eastover. The road being .thusj
^ agreed on to. -Eastoyer it will be an I
^-ca^TTt?tter-to-go to the riv.er. a viis- j
tance of about -four miles. Why!
should Richland county be required to i
build another hard surface road from t
the 17 mile post to Garner's Ferry, j
merely for the reason that there was;
a crossing there in former times?
Further, a survey will show that t^e
old Garner's Ferry crossing followed
a northeast direction after entering the |
swamp proceeding to Stateb?rg diag- j
?naiiy, and emerged from the swampj
at a point, about three miles north of;
its' point of entrance. This would
make the crossing longer and --more
expensive than should be necessary- i
Of course, the actual cost-can be de-j
termined- in advance only by a survey ]
embracing all possible crossings, and i
that one should be adopted which will |
be most serviceable, but as the facts!
now appear, the route from Columbia!
to Eastover, and thence to, Wedgefield}
is decidedly most desirable, and even i
if the Garner's Ferry crossing is ad.opt; |
ed there^ can be little; doubt that in j
time it will be^found necessary tG con
nect Wedgetield and Eastover by a;
public highway, for the growth of .'the
region will require "it. There is no
probability that the Garner's Ferry
rer;ion will ew develop to the same.,
degree. Before hastily making a j
choice, let us proceed carefully and on j
full information, that is all we ask. j

Sumter Comity Sunday Schools
. Do the people of Sumter county
know the- Sunday School statistics for j
the county?
" Reports'were secured from the thir
ty-four schools in the county this yearj
by the Sumter County-Sunday School
Association, of which W. H. Freman iS'
president, which show that there are*
only 3,913 people enrolled in these 34
Sunday Schools as officers, teachers
and . pupils: The largest ehrollement
isxtha?> of the Methodist church in
Sumter, with 635 members. The next
largest is the Presbyterian church, in
Sunner, with 499-?an increase of J00
during the pa'st year. The nine Sun
day Schools' in Sumter have a total
enrollment of: 2.211.
The Christian Sunday School, of
Sumter, reports the ^following ten
points of efficiency: Evergreen,* hav
ing "good records," using graded* les
sons, organized Bible classes, syste
matic plan for substitute teachers,
teachers' meetings, teachers' training
class, cradle roll, home department.
a?ri\ co-operation with State, county
and district association work.
There are 17 Sunday-Schools report
ing the use of "good.records;*' that
is marking each pupil on at least
/three points?and the suggested points
are- attendance, contiibution and les
son study: 9 using,graded lessons: 12
with organized Bible classes; 6 hav
ing regular teachers' meetings; 8 with
a systVrfiatic plan for substitute teach
ers; 13 teacher training, classes;' IS
cradle rolls, and 6 home departments.
The County Sunday School Associa
tion oqicers are anxious to see every
school put in these efficiency points,
as it will help to increase the attend
ance and efficiency of every school
-undertaking to reach this standard.
These forward steps in building up
Sunday Schools have been presented;
at many district conventions during
the year, and a number of the schools
have quite recently adopted these new
plans of work.
Sumter county at the State Sunday
ScHioorvconvention held in Greenville
on May 4, 5, 6 was recogmzed'as one
of the five Gold Star counties in^ the
Stale. The other counties reaching
this standard, were Sparenburg, I^ee.
Lancaster and Hampton. The next
high ^standard is that of the "Front
of the Banner School points enumer
ated above. This should be the goal
for the county to reach next year.
Will each school help? Do your
workers really wish to have the
schools throughout the whole country
more efficient in reaching and holding
hibre pupils? The following men and
women, officers of the Sumter comity
Sunday School Association, call upon
the Sunday Schools or the county to

S?1UE RESULTS OF WARFARE
Awful Price That Js Paid in Broken
titffesas WeH as in Dollar?
and Cent?.
In an aerodrome in France is an at
-tendant. He wakes the boys, looks af
ter their clothes. That is all he is fit
for now. But he is treated with the
greatest respect, for he ^as once an
aviator himself. Sometimes he mur
murs to a newcomer, as if in apology
for his present occupation: VI spent
500 hours in the air." Five hundred
hours, and he is now a nervous wreck!
The other day a \ Canadian invalid
aviator passed through Chicago. .We
rode with him for a few-hours on the
train. He will never fly again. He
has no lesions, no'broken bones. His
nerves are gone, "in his last flight his
muscles, throrigh sheer nervous strain,
refused to function, and he dropped
Tike a plummet for'5,000 feet?a mile
I ?and redressed his machine just' in
J time to save himself from anrlihila
tion. Each time that the brakes of
the trail: began to grind his lips w^uld
set like the jaws of a sfeel trap. The
motion of the'slowing train was like
that of falling. Each time it hap
pened he would apologize in. a stut
tering voice. Then he would apolo
gize for stuttering. Before that awful
dive from cloudiand he had never stut
tered, he said. "We know something of
the cost of dreadnaughts, torpedoes
and the shells of 14-inch guns.' We
give, little thought to rifle cartridges.
But they cost five cents" apiece in Amer
.ica and 15 cents apiece, it is estimated,
by the time they are delivered to the
'firing trench.. These rifle cartridges
are used in the machine guns, and an
ambitious gunner can use* up J#7.50
? worth of them- every 60 seconds?al

FLIGHT MOT PRINCE'S FIRST
..'?.".Ii., i?.
Former Heir to r.German Throne
Jumped From W^hd?w to Escape
Oncoming French.
The former crowtf prince of Germany
never, took unnecessary chances. His
flight from his radieal-swept "father
land" Is in keeping with traits he ex
hibited to the French during many in
cidents of the great war. In a letter
received at Chicago from Sergt Ralph
Sinclair of the mobile ordnance repair
division, a veteran of Chateau Thierry,
the one-time heir to.the German crown
is described-as jumping from,'a window
to flee from the', oncoming Fretich.
The story was told Sergeantg Sin
clair by the mistress of a French
chateau near an American camp.
"It was during the first German drive
in 1914," Sergeant Sinclair wrote,
"when they swept down into. France
m the full .flower of their, military
power. She saw the tired Poilus fall
back* worn out with nine daysi of icease
less fighting to stem that apparently.
x irresistible army. Then she saw the
fcreat German war machine roll on.'
Some of the German high command
came to her chateau, and then a re
splendent figure on horseback. He
swung an emerald-headed swagger
stick and bore himself with an air of
conscious superiority?the crown
prince.
"He informed the. lady of the, cha
teau that on the morrow his troops
would be in Paris. But six miles back
the tired Poilus had halted and fought
the first battle of the Marne.^ And
quite suddenly and unexpectedly the
great German army started to go
back?with them the resplendent
crown prince, who at the first news of
defeat jumped from the window of a
neighboring chateau where he was
staying and fled."
What He Wanted to Say.
General Biddle said at a London
garden party:
"The doughboy in France has a lot
of trouble with .the French language:
A doughboy sat^ .on a bench in . the
Tuileries gardens one day- and
thumbed a French phrase book discon
tentedly. /
" 'This here book,* he growled, .'don't
tell you what you want to say at all.
It tells you how to say the uncle of
your mother is sixty-five years old, or
the sister of your wife has bought a
i cow, or the umbrella of your neighbor
is in the attic, but I don't want to say
nothing of that kind.
" 'What Fm after,' said the dough
boy, 'is a book that tells you hc# to
say: "Your face is familiar?aint we
met before?" or "Gee, them eves!" or
"Little girl, you sure do look out o'
sight In that swimmin' suit."'"?Dal
las News.
"Silence Lanr.es" in Fogs.
One of the freaks that mariners have
to contend with is silence lanes in
fogs. These lanes not only retard the
sound of-foghorns, but stop it entire
ly. A lookout man on a ship may not
be able to hear the foghorn of; a dose
by vessel if his ship is in one*of those
silence lanes in time to give* warning
of its proximity. ? **?
It sometimes happens thai there is
a zone through which the 9<*ind car
ries exceptionally well, andf the look
out men of vessels in suGh,a zone are
x
unable to judge the dista?r*ce away of
another vessel, whose fojghoru they
hear so distinctly. \

DEPEW MIXED IN HIS FACTS
Venerable New York Statesman * a
Little Ahead of Time in Use
"of Ttrm "Highhrow."
"Who were "the highbrows of forty
years' ago," of whom Chauncey M.
Depew spoke in giving his recollec
tions of Theodore Roosevelt at the
Methodist preachers' conference?
The venerable ex-senator, relating
the circumstances of Mr. Roosevelt's
political debut in 1880, quoted "a Rc
l publican district leader" as suggesting
to him the nomination of the young
Harvard graduate for assemblyman to
placate the element in his district
"which the boys call 'high brow,' liv
ing along Fifth avenue."
Was there "any sich animal", at
that time? It was four years before
the appearance of the mugwump, who,
though a highbrow according to his
lights, was not the simon-pure article.
His was not Ma superior attitude
toward the generality of mankind."
but only toward certain political rep
resentatives of it. The real highbrow
was yet to come. *
Was Will Irwin his inventor? Ex
cursions into the origins of words are
always hazards, even-in the case of
contemporary coinage, but It appears
tc be sufficiently well authenticated
th? highbrow is a more recent prod
uct than Mr;.Depew would have us
suppose. ' *
Indeed, highball got Into the diction
aries before highbrow, which is not
cited in the Century of 1911 or' the
Webster of 1910, though it appears
in the New Standard of 1913.
An octogenarian memory^though it
is a marvelous storehouse of events,
may at times deceive its possessor.
What the"*distri.ct leader probably said
was "silk stockings."
Mr. Depew has apparently merely
confused the period at which the grow
ing indulgence of the proletariat in
silk stockings caused the term' to be
superseded by "highbrows."?New

PROVING THAT "WOMAN PAYS"
Tragedy of War None the Less Pitiful
Because Not Expressed in
Blood and Fire.
Upstairs in the big hospital n jQung
woman was greeting her soldier fiance
back from Flanders, badly wounded.
In the waiting room, the Woman Who
|, Saw tried to kill time by writing a let
ter.'
Suddenly the page grew blurred, and
|,the pen stopped. Willyrnflly, she was
listening to one of war's tragedies,
albeit this was not expressed in blood
and fire. For the sergeant with the
bandaged arm was telling the girt who
[ sat beside him on the sofa that he no
longer eared for her.. Like the stroke
of ? bludgeon, camehis words, carrying
deafly-to the listener, .who could not
stop her ears.
"I'm sorry, but I care for her more,
that's alL Perhaps If JPd never seen
her we'd have got along all right But
I did, and as soon as I can send for
her I'm going to marry her. I was bil
leted with her mother, and we got ac
quainted, and it just happened. Sorry,
but it can't be helped.;. Her name's
Marie," he concluded.
And then silence fell heavily. Not a
word spoke the rather plain-looking
girl beside Mm. Nor did she cry* After
a little she took from her hand a ring,
with such a tiny stone, and thrust it at
him. ?
"Give it to her," she said., Aftd with
out a backward glance she left the
room.?London Mail.
Restoring Oil Paintings.
To repair an oil painting which
shows blemishes,' such as cracks, pro
ceed as follows: Fill a shallow dish
with alcohol and place the picture face
downward over it, taking care that it
does not actually touch the liquid. The
fumes from the alcohol rise to the
paint, and in. a few minutes the cracks
fill up and the colors appear bright
and new. It is necessary to watch the
process closely, for if the painting is
exposed to the fumes too long the
colors will run together and the pic
ture will be spoiled. With reason
able care this should never happe?,
and old paintings which would-other
wise have to be thrown away can be
made as good as new.
Abandon Big Kelp Plant
The pliant for reducing kelp, erected
at San Diego, CaL, at a cost of $5,500,
000, Is to be abandoned because the
cost of- harvesting and handling the
kelp is higher than the peace time
prices obtained for the products, ac
cording to Dr. W. L Noot, who has
been connected with the chemical de
partment of the kelp works, says
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He says,
however, that the people who are burn
ing kelp after orying it will continue to
produce potash, which is mixed with
mineral products from the packing
houses and sold for fertilizer. Doctor
Noot says something i% attacking the
kelp and that the beds will entirely
disappear.
