' I HIGHWAY POSSIBILITIES The state of New Jersey now \ eonf*Tirts~s5x miles of roadway said j be the finest stretch of transcon- ! t&ental road between New York City and San Francisco. It is the most recently completed section of I the Lincoln Highway, and carries! :he heaviest t>aft'ic of any part of! :hat 3,345 0-jmil es route. An im- ; mease volume of traffic between j Xew York City and Philadelphia, j incj^ingV^ thousands . of hea\-y ! :rucks, paa-sea over it. This stretch of road is 29 feet j ?dj?. Most of it has a ba.-te nine ! ;.:ches thick and an asphalt sur-j facing two inches thick. H^re is an illustration of the ! faot that is possible to make! raaas wide enough and solid j er.ov.gh to bear the increasingly heavy trafiic of modern motor traiiipor:anoh. Tourists are learn ing, a S-O'l deal these summer days The Highway to Colu For Traffic Bef , r <r, _, f The contract for the roustruo ition of the approaches to the ! VTateree . riye.r bridge at Garner's j Ferry on -the highway connecting : Sumter and Columbia (route No. i-3 of the State Highway Depart ment"? was today awarded to Sim fmons ?: May rant of Charleston by j the Suinter County Board of Com | missiorers. The bid of Simmons f& Mayrant. which was the lowest j submitted to the S&tte Highway j Department, was; approved by the department and referred to the j Sumter county commissioners to ; be awarded. The formal award land signature of the contract has I been held up for several weeks lowing to delay of Riohland county authorities in furnishing acceptable ? guarantees that" the reri thousand [dollars to be provided by that j county toward the cost of con Istructing the approaches on the ? Sumter side of the river would be ! forthcoming as" needed, but that ?difficulty having( been adjusted through efforts of state depart ment, the award* of the contract by Sumter Board was a mere formality. The bid of Simmons & Mayrant is to construct the causeway through ? the swamp, put'down a gravel sur I face Of the road way, build the i necessary bridges across the several creeks and construct a road from ttie e^s^ of the swamp, to the '? Sd?therii railway track, where it I crosses the road between the swamp and Stafeburg. The total j length of the causeway and road ; ii'om the bridge to the Southern railway is four and'six-tenths of a mile and total cost will- be ap proximately ? 34.000?$30.000 for ;the causeway and bridges in. the swamp proper and $4,000 for the about comparative road construc tion in different states. Some mo torists go from communities where the ,roads are narrow., the paving poor and constantly in need of re pairing, into a. state which is a net work of good highways not only [near its big cities but far out in i woods and mountains . and farm s' ? fing lands. When they get back ihcme again they are likely to start inquiring as to the cause of bad I roads; in their own states. ' Good roads are essential to mod fern civilization.-' They are costly? vbiitr.tbev are not nearly so costly |as>;ba<l roads. The states which have good roads are demonstrating I clearly to their own residents and I to travelers from other . sections that the good road is possible, [practicable and highly satisfying. MEXICO AND HERRIN It is reported from Washington that a protest has been received by the State Department against the alleged killing of twO Mexican citi zens and the beating of others in the massacre at Herrin.: 111. . So. the ugly aftermath of an ugly incident eorVinues to develop. According to the report, the Mexicans in question were in no way involved in the labor situa tion. They had merely descended from a train to get some dinner in A local restaurant when the place 'was mobbed and the assaults were committed- It is surprising, not to say humiliating* to have charges of this nature coming from our southern neighbor. It is quite a customary thing for all sorts of charges, private and public, to be filed with the Mexican government co^erning the .killing or maltreat ment of American citizens. Mexi co can. urge with truth that the hands of this nation are not quite clean of like misdeeds. PROHIBITION IS GERMANY Some of the recent prohibition news from Germany is almost in credible. A recent straw ballot taken in the city of Bielfield, on the question of abolishing the liquor traffic afte* the .drastic ex ample of the United States, is said ro have resulted in 12,620 votes for prohibition to '418 votes against it. with 1,022 citizens not voting. . No such overwhelming dry ma jority has been reported else where in Germany, bur from vari ous accounts prohibition sentiment is certainly making surprising headway there. It may be. as some -humorous cynics suggest, that the. deteriora tion of German beer has a good deal to do with it. lie that as it may, if Germany, of all nations, ?>nce declares for Volsteadism the world-wide rule of old King Al cohol will soon be as obsolete as that of the Hohenzollerns. Philadelphia. Aug. 24.?With both sides said to be in receptive mood today, there was no sign of a! move either from the operators or miners toward suggesting a solu tion of the deadlock over the sit nation in the hard coal fields, which resulted in the breaking up of the I peace parleys here Tuesday. mm FOR THE M l?ACflES mbia Will Be Opened ore January 1st . section of the road between the ' swamp and the Southern railway. I The contract provides that the I "work shall be completed, within i one hundred working; days. Al lowance being- marie for delays ; that may be caused by weather ?conditions and other causes beyond ; the control of the contractors, it is [reasonable to expect that the work will be completed and the toad j opened for traffic before January list. In the construction of the I new road only a small section of I the old Garner's Ferry road I through the swamp will be used, a i hew and more direct route having jbeen selected by the engineers. This road that is now to be built jis described as a temporary road, !as it will not be built above high I water and will not be usable when ihe river is in flood stage. It is ; contemplated that eventually a permanent road will be built that .will be above the highest flood stages and usable at all times. ; When this is done a part, but not 1 all. of the road now .to be built will be utilized. The temporary road follows the high ridge through the swamp and is therefore not ex actly straight. The permanent r"ad. as tentatively planned, would follow an air line through the! swamp from the bridge to the high land. Xo plans have been made! for the proposed permanent road, [ but a rough estimate has been made , of the probable cost of a. road of the approved premanent type, and the figures . are . between $250,000 i and $300.000. It will a long time. | probably, before the permanent; road through the swamp, is built, j unless it is made a state project! and funds furnished by or through! .the State Highway Department. j CONGRESS ! ! '? ?? PASSES .ON ! ?OAL BILL! [Federal Commission to Bei I Created to Investigate Coal j industry Washington, Aug. 23.?The ad ministration bill for creation of a j federal commission to obtain all j j facts possible relating to the coal j i industry and on which miners and' [operators were denied; representa tion was passed tonight by the [house, 219 to 55; j Three separate attempts were :made by Representative Bland (Re Ipublican) of Indiana to amend the] ;bill so as to put representatives of j i the miners and mine owners on the j icommission, but ali of them failed.! j The house voted down a pro-1 iposal by Representative Denison j (Republican) of Illinois to reduce; I the commission membership from ! ! nine to five. But the next moment I by an overwhelming vote adopt- ! \ ed an amendment by Representa tive Bankhead (Democrat) of Ala bama cutting the salary of com missioners from $10.000 to $7,500. Oh the heels of this it put ] through virtually without' objec tion, an amendment by Represen tative Moore (Democrat) of Vir ginia, reducing the appropriation for the cost and upkeep of the com mission from $500,000 to $300,000. Chairman Winslow *of the inter state commerce committee, who j handled the bill through the hou?e, j announced that the committee was j not opposed to the smaller amount. Four Republicans voted against the bill and 24 Democrats support ed it. It goes now to the senate, where the Borah, commission b:H. slightly different in some provis ions, is pending. , For a time today Republican; leaders were thrown off their feet} by action of the rules comn-kt^e j in voting to present the Bland t>iH j with its provision for miner and; operator representation as :-i sub- j stitute for the Winslow measure. President Harding's opp.sitio-i to i this proposal was set 'forth on I Tuesday. The committee (ailed on; & tie vote to reconsider it-? action, but later it reported ? rule givi'cj the Winslow bill the right of way and opening it to amendment In the end leaders found no rea son for the Hurry, for under a par liamentary situation the bill was called up hy Mr. Winslow In ir regular form and ? was considered ? without a rule. Recovered Macadam. (Charlotte Observer). Just what can be done by the j right sort of road- men with a knowledge of the job and how to do i it. is in evidence on the Rozelle's : Ferry road, from the Seaboard Air Line crossing to the bridge, a dis- J tance of six miles.. For years travelers over that road had to jolt along one of the roughest of worn-s out macadam highways in the,' state, and farmers who were com- j polled to travel it had long made j despairing complaint. Last fall j the Mecklenburg road board took j the road in hand, and at a cost of $ son a mile has given the county a new road that is the pride of all who have traveled it. The roadway is 30 fe*-t wide and has a smooth surface of gravel, so firm and hard that rains do not affect it- The road is maintained by the simple pocess of patching a worn surface immediately it appears. It Is about the best example in recon struction of worn macadam that is to be found in the utate. 31 a rrInge License. White:' Graham Turner and Alma Kelly of Tindal. THE COTTON I MARKETING ASSOCIATION Cooperative Plan Has Been a i Success m Texas?Fight j Now on in the East I _ I Columbia, Aug. 23.?The cotton j growers of Texas and Oklahoma who are members of tbe r;otton co operative marketing associations are delighted with the results 6b i iained by the associations in the ' first, year of their operations, no I cording to C. O. Moser, secretary of the American Cotton ? Growers' I Exchange, who is in Columbia this week with officials of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Co-operative Association. Mr. Mo ser has been in Texas recently as sisting in a membership campaign waged by the association of that state. Mr. Moser said that coopenilve will function this fall in nine states and that all of them are beginning the new season under most favor able auspices. The morale of t?eir membership is splendid, he declar ed. ''Membership campaigners are now being conducted in all of ;he states . from Arizona to North Carolina," he said, "and there has never been more confidence in the ultimate success of the plan, as The leading bankers, merchants, busi ness men and cotton planters ev erywhere are wholeheartedly co operating in the movement." ' "In the state of Texas," said 3-5 r. Moser "we recently held a hundred meetings of the members m as many county seats, and without exception each of the meetings unanimously approved arid endors ed the management for the past year and pledged their enthusias tic support and cooperation in ex tending the membership in their" communities. A few days lat?r a statewide meeting was called, in which there were more than five hundred member delegates from practically every organized county in the state. This meeting was held at Dallas in the offices of tne organisation and whatever may have been wanting to completely satisfy the members with refer ence to the operation of the Texas organization during the pavt year, was completely supplied them when the members themselves saw the splendid institution which they had builded up through their own efforts. Expressions were call ed for from the different counties, and almost without exception a spirit of general satisfaction was reported at home by the de'egates. Of course, the minds of some of our good members in Texas and In Oklahoma, as they will be in all of the other states, were poisoned by lies and misrepresentations and everything that could be devised by the gamblers, speculators arid scalpers was done to discredit the organisation and. dissatisfy the morale of the membership." The members, however, were told the whole truth and had an opportun ity to visit the organization's places of business and personally inves tigate every phase of the business operation. They soon realized that their intelligence had been insult ed by those whose interests were adverse to those of the membersV and who had hoped by this means to destroy the confidence that the) members had in their organization( and thus destroy the organization i itself. The members upon reflec tion resented this speculator prop aganda as they realized that the speculators regarded the farmers a.s men who did not know their | own interests and who could be' turned against their own organiza- j tion. As aggravating and disgust- j ing as such propaganda was toj the management, it was perhapsai good thing for the organization in j the end, because it put into the j members' hearts a lighting spirit j and a determination to win and has; solidified the membership into a j real fighting force, and has prac-! tically destroyed the force of the! opposition's influence-" "In Oklahoma practically the \ same thing has occurred. Thej membership in both states are en- ?; tirely pleased with the prices, j which they have received and with! the cost of doing business. There' are. of course, always in so large; a number of men a few who are : easily persuaded and who are in- j fluenced by the enemies of the or- ? ganization, but those members are small and are negligible from a j standpoint of the successful move- ! ment and were anticipated in the i origin?r plans of the contract, j These men will be compelled to de-! liver their cotton under its iron ? clad legally enforcible provision i and we are glad to-say that the in- | intelligent far-seeing majority are j giving their assistance in the prose- \ cution of those who would welch : from their obligation." Where The Strike Hurts Most. (Spa rta n 1 ?u rg .1 ou rna 1). It is stated 'by the department] of agriculture at Washington that . the corn crop of the I'nited Stites? this year will reach 3.000,000.000 bushels: that there will be ^3.100,-j 000 ions of hay. 40.000.000 basnets! of Irish potatoes, and 1,425,000,- j 000 pounds of tobacco, and equal- j ly large production of almost al! other crops. That is encouraging in a sense. Millions of hard work ing men have been employed in the farming pursuits of the country and billions of dollars have been in vested in the business of farming; but what will it profit the farmers \ of these great crops if they cannot get their stuff to market because the operatives on the railroad hues j of the country have gone on strike? ! If the farmers who grow all the thing* the strikers must eat to j live would refuse to plant and sow ! and reap for one year the men who* operate the railroads would find that they owe something to the folks who feed them. Money may not go further, but you do if you get any. CANDIDATES C ?K IT ! WALHALLA j -:? ? . .. I Some of the Candi-; dates Dodge Ques-j tion "Did You Vote! For Cox in 1920?" i. _ Walhalla. Auer. 21.?After swing- j ing from the sea coast to within! plain view of the Blue Ridge peaks,! candidates for state offices were to-I 'day furnished a new and novel ex- j j perience when virtually all of the j six- hundred men and women , who j Hocked to the high school audi- | [t ori u m remained throughout the' meeting. Unlike several other; j meetings since the Piedmont has ? I been invaded interest grew as the [ ! meeting progressed and those in ? j the .audience, many of whom had j I come, from a. distance, were com-i j pel led to go without their dinner,! ! for fear they would miss some-i j thing. j ; The candidates, too, seemed to) ; 'sense the spirit of the meeting and J ' to put more life and energy into; the .occasion than at any time! j within the week.. Contributing to j the interest in the meeting was the j \ set of two question given to the j j local..chairman. J. H. Brown, and | asked to each candidate for gov- j i ernor. I i These questions were: If elected; '?? governor will you use your inrlu- j :enee.to continue in force the pen-1 \ sim act of 1021 with its appropria- ! jtiozi of $600,000? Question No. 2 j ?was:.."Did you vote for Cox and! ; did you support the Democratic j [nominees in 1320?" . . j r Several candidates apparently! i overlooked the. answer to the j : query and attempted to seek an i ' extension of time but Mr. Brown j : strictly adhered to the. rule, saying' j that, he could not allow them an I Opportunity to return to the floor.; ! Ail-..of these who stated their; j views were in favor of appropria- i J tiOns, for Confederate Veterans. All; ? who replied to the second question; j also answered "yes," while some : made the answer much longer than I that. Former Governor Cole L. j Please did not make any reference [to the question, when asked from the audience as to the question of; ?pensions for. Confederate Veterans, j : he went on record as favoring this, I telling of his past efforts in be- j ? haljCei the veterans. j Thevwomen candidates for su perintendent of education staged a j. little rivalry all their own, bring i ing to a direct issue the questions i ? which came to the front several \ idays, ago. . \ . , i: Mrs. Bessie Rogers Drake said j that she regretted one of her op. jponents, (Mrs. F. B." Wallace)* had t seen fit to take exception to the j j presence with Mrs. Drake of aj ; brother-in-law who she said .was j paymaster at a plant in Bath and j ! who while on vacation was accom- ' j panying her. Mrs. Drake also re- ! I ferred to the "limosing" as men- ! l.tioned by Mrs. Wallace, saying she | ' was only traveling in a model car. f j Mrs. Wallace had previously told ; j of Mrs. Drake being accompanied ; \hy several members of her fam I fly, and traveling in - a limousine.; ! Mrs. Wallace, appealing to the aud- j ! ience said, "I ask you. men and J ! women to be my campaign man- j [agers. my vote getters and my lim- j i ousihes." - "-'*- ? .' ' ?. 1 j Another feature of the meeting j iwas the spirited attack made upon j [B. Harris, commissioner of agri-J i culture, by George -W. Wightman, i j of Saluda. Mr. Harris, spoke first j i and dealt with his record in the I office' and the things accomplish- j ed , for the protection of the con- , : sum er. : Mounting to the stand, Mr. j I Wightman at once replied to a re- j mark made, by Mr. Harris at the i Anderson meeting on Saturday. Dramatically did Mr. Wightman j picture his early training and of \ the promise made to a dying j mother never to touch whiskey nor j to smoke and at all times to set \ his younger brothers and sisters a good example. Pointing his linger at Mr. Har- I ris, Mr. Wightman said "Saturday j at Anderson before he came off the | stage Mr. Harris said he could tell j something else on me, insinuating j that he knew something the people ! did not. I ask him here now out! of my time to come forward and tell the audience, so that it would i not apepar that I have been un- j faithful to the promise made to my mother." MZt Harris stated that what he i had to-say he would say from the j platform, and asked by Mr. Wight- i man if he would mention the inci- j dent Tuesday at Piekens, Mr. Har- ! ris said he expected to make the j same speech there, as at Walhalla, j Mr. Wightman was loudly ap- ; platided, vieing with the women candidates and with several of ! those for governor in the amount ! Of applause. Thomas G. McLeod j was generously applauded at the! conclusion of his address. With the exception of added gin- ' ger and interest the candidates for governor made their usual speeches, .lohn T. Duncan told of his fight' on "the system." saying, "you peo ple thought 1 was crazy at first, hut all who are not crazy or a fool know better now." ?, George K. Laney said the Co-| lumbia canal was safe without the ? assistance, of John T. Duncan as j S:im M. Wolfe, Attorney General, was chairman of the commission, , and knew everything in connection ! with the canal. He said the ap- ? peal had been won in the state su- j preme*court and the case 5s now in the United States supreme court.. He outlined his platform, par-', ticuiarly with reference to the edu-j, cation and farming interests. . Thomas G. McLeod began by say ing that he voted for Cox in 1920- . \ That he was. a Democrat and?could j not be anything else. He advo l cated new sources of revenue. The ; cutting off of useless offices and a .government that is economical and efficient. He continued his appeal for law enforcement and was gen erously applauded. J. J. Cantey declared it was an insult to ask any white , man in South Carolina if he ever scratched the Democratic ticket, adding "any man who is a traitor to the ideals or* Wood row Wilson is a traitor to the nation." This declaration was'generally applauded. William Coleman protested against conditions whereby a man is forced to vote for a candidate singled out by certain interests to be the governor, or else for one who is leading a frantic crowd op posed to the oligarchy. He said the Anglo-Saxon years ago determined to be free, and they had not changed from that determination. Former Governor Blease was given a big reception. He said he favored Confedeate pensions? op posed the budget commission, and the commission of public welfare. ? That is one reason Laney will nev er be governor," Mr. Blease said, "for while he might not have help ed he was there when the budget commission was put. over."' Mr. Blease denied that he had par doned Wilson, the Anderson coun ty man, as was stated several days ago, saying Wilson had been par doned by a former governor. E- B. Jacksom candidate for lieutenant governor, was given the greatest reception of the three can-j didates for that office. When his time was up some one in the audi ence yelled out, "let him go on," but Chairman Brown did not per mit this. * The candidates for attohey gen eral came in for a good bit of in terest. Sam M. Wolfe, Harold' Eu banks and D.. W^ Winter, all ad dressed the audience. A Letter to Parents. Some years ago a gentleman liv ing in India caught and raised a tiger cub. It was as tame, -com panionable, as safe as a cat, aj great pet in the family. The rea son was he, bis entire household, had been at great pains to allow it no contact in any way, shape, j or form with carnality, feeding it, on bread and the like. My reason for using that term will appear to the observant reader later on One day, while reading on the porch of his bungalow he - fell asleep, and was awakened by an unpleasant, somewhat painful sen sation. His left hand, free, had dropped by his :*ide. and the tiger, lying by, had. licked till the blood began to flow. Only a glance suf ficed to show him his peril, for he knew by the fierce glare of its eyes that the beast in .it had been awakened, and that any attempt to withdraw the hand would arouse all.the cruel ferocity.of its nature. Very quietly he laid the book down, grasped his pistol lying near, and killed the tiger. Every parent of necessitation be queaths to their offspring, in their generation a tiger^ and they know it. but how many consider it. .No, it'is not a desperate, a hopeless case, else God had not said "Train up a child in the way. he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Talk about sins of inheritance, we all have ouri dispositions to them, only some are under better tuition than others. The writer used to wonder why in his childhood he. was debarred asf far as possible on the pain of se-j vere chastisement from witnessing! the intimacies of fowl and animal,} from participating in the sensuous j dance, but now all is as plain .as j day. It was an effort to keep him removed from carnality, that car- { nali*v which is the curse of our| day. ' Take this from Mrs. Eva M. Blue, dean of women at Gooding) College, Iowa: "The greatest prob lem we are facing is immorality in our whole social structure. This is not the fault of youth. Can we! expect young men and women toj rise above the conditions which j society has surrounded them in the way of jazz music, modern dance halls, public swimming pools, auto joy riding, luxury and freedom, the sensual and suggestive movies? All of these things have a ten dency to instill ideas of free love, free thought, and the spirit of 'It is all right if you can get away with it.' " I might quote pages from other writers, but this indict ment sufficies to turn our thoughts to the respnosibility of parents, for! the crux of the whole matur is with them. Some years ago the writer, in discussing crop prospects in a very hopeful vein was told: "You have left God out." He realized this in harvest time. And that is the caise, might I not safely say. with most parents and much of the news paper discussion of the day? With out Him we get nowhere- Those who study the matter closley un derstand that to succeed they must take God into partnership and th-tt in no firm flam way.
