WILL BUILD COUNTY ROAD
County Court Accepts His Bid TO
Make 2 is Miles Of Riley
Ford Road.

From The World OF Friday:
Today at II a. m was the time for
the county court to open bids for max
ing the 4z5 miles of public roads in
Berkeley county this year. The roads,
as advertised by County Engineer /.
w. Wood, are divided into short sec
tons
Only one bid was received tcday
and that WAS from Mr.. N. T. Frame,
of this city. who has made a study OF
road building az well as many other
questions relating to civic affairs. The
court accepted his bid for section II,
Arden district. This is the road from
the Riley Ford, a length of 2 Is miles,
less 1872 feet Mr.. Frames bid was a
fraction less than $23 a mile.
Under the state law of 1909, doing
away with road supervisors, the ccun-
ty road engineer is empowered to en-
pioy men TO make the roads that have
not been let out by bid; and so that
win have 20 be done this year, except
In the case of the section mentioned
The approximate amount of money
in the hands Of the Berkeley county
court for read work in 1911, including
state road funds derived from levies
of the years 1909 and 1910 and to be
returned to the county, and the
amount on hand January 1, 1911, from
the county levy cf 1910, is s10,374. As
compared with this amount Jefferson
county has s22,432 for road purposes
this year. But while the levy in
Berkeley county is only cents on the
500 assessed valuation, the levy in
jefferson is from Is to 10 cents on the
800, according to the section. Wet
gel county has the lorgest fund, $751;
ALL
1t is noteworthy that the road SUI
pervisors used to figure out that there
were a thousand miles Of roads in
Berkeley county but Road Engineer
Wood only makes it AIS miles by his
survey.
The court also paid a lot of road
bills today.

MExico's MILLIONAIRE FARMS.
Other Nations Have Had to Break Up
Vast Estates.


Vast Estates.
It may be rather late for President
Dlaz, 81 years old and So years in SUI
rreme power in Mexico, to propose
vast land reform in that country.
Put whether his plan for breaking up
a correspondent was hastily brought
forward now for political effect or is
the result of long and mature thought,
il would do much for the peace of the
country if carried out in good faith.
There is one classic example of the
value of breaking up large estates. 1t
IS France. ARTHUR Young, the shrewd-
est critic of rural France in 17SS-90,
found millions of people in wretched
poverty, great wastes uncultivated,
rock said Mr.. Young. ''and he will
convert it into a garden" Twenty
five years were to show that he was
right.
The first attacks made by French
peasants upon the lonely chateauX
were planned to get and destroy pa
pers that they supposed bound them
to degrading feudal service. The flood
OF English visitors that poured into
France in 1914 found it transforme1
as If by magic from a poor country
into rich one despite the waste of
long wars Divided estates and re-
formed taxation had worked the mar
vel. Never since has France been
poor.
Great landed estates are being
broken up in New Zealand by progress
sive taxation; in ireland by compul-
sorry sale and the use of public credit.
They were at the bottom OF the recent
revolt in Roumania. They cause much
of the discomfort in the Balkan States
Of Austria. They greatly handicap
parts of Germany and Italy Mexico

CALLS WAR TALK NONSENSE.
Japanese Ambassador Gives Out a
Statement.

Statement.
Ut is nonsense and unjust to the
Japanese Government to attribute
such acts as are intimated in these
dispatches.
If you investigate the history OF
Japanese immigration TO the Hawai-
ian IsD9nds, you win find that it began
about 25 years ago. The old royal
GovernAne needed Japanese labor 90

I Japan to furnish it. There was some
hasitancy at first but finally the re-
guest was complied with, and immi-
gaaxion continued to the islands from
my country for a number of years.
1T has practically stopped now. as
IL has to all Americans possessions,
and, in fact, to every foreign power.
Our Government wants cur people
at home. We have OUR own internal
g,roblems to solve; We have Korea and
Manchuria to attend to.
The deep-thinking Americans GER
tainly attribute no Interior motive to
the presence OF Japanese In the Har

years, and church officials of all
branches Of the demo nstratioa were at
no Peins to concenl their enthusiasm
for the prospect.
Second only in 5mpoftantance TO the
amicable relations of the branches of
the church was a talk by William An

Methodist Episcopal delegates to the
Methodist Protestant conference of
last year The olive branch predomi-
mated in the talks OF the men repre-
senting both branches of the church,
end unity was broadly hinted at in
their addresses. They expressed the
enthusiasm of their members at the
idea and declared the time not far
distant when Methodfsm would be
joined hand in hand and enlarged
