The Roads to Hemingway.
Dear Mr. Editor:

Dear Mr. Editor:
1t will be remembered by some
readers of Your paper that about
five years ago there appeared in The
Record an article from this section
entitled "a piece of bad road The
writer of that article is induced to
write again about the roads; but
this time in an entirely different
manner.
The chaingang has recently been
working on all of the roads that
lead to Rome, and they have left
them in excellent condition. We
now can boast of a respectable high

by all. 1t is now a pleasant ride.

IMMENSE CROWD
HEARS GRACE.
SPEAKER TOLD HOW GOVERNOR
HAS FAILED NDUTY-TIMET TO
RISE FOR INDEPENDENCE.

Gaffnev. Aug ;. With the ) K q
sign exhibited at the court house
this afternoon Mayor John T Grace
of Charleston spoke to tremendous
crowd of Cherokee voters. The
mavor was met at the station by a
reception committee and a brass
band and escorted directly to the
court house. Ed H DeCamp preSid-
ed over the meeting and in a short
and happy speech introduced the
speaker. When the speaker arose
he was greeted by an ovation. For
several minutes the house echoed
with the cheers of the throng.
Mr. Grace's speech was far from
violent. 1t was an oratorical effort
to be proud OF and although he paid
his respects to the governor IN no
uncertain terms there was not one
sentence in the entire address which
could possibly be construed as rabid.
The speaker said that it was time
for the people of South Carolina to
rise up and assert their right to be
free from one man rule and If any
people in rhe State should have that
right, certainly the people Of Cow
pens section were these people, be-
cause they had made independence
possible and they had right to
claim what is theirs.
Said Mr. Grace: There is no one
man who is good enough to unlock
the prison doors of South Carolina
and turn out criminals who pollute
the air which they breathe.
The speaker said that the govern
or was man who had tolerated the
dirtiest graft that South Carolina or
any other State had ever been in
fiicted with. Your governor,
said Mr. Grace, is not an honest
man, he is not a truthful man, he is
not right living man. God save
the State from such men,"
The speaker said that he support
ed Cole Blease two years ago be-
cause he believed that Blease stood
for what the people wanted. Cole
Blease has not made good. If there
was ever a man bound body and soul
to the corporations, that man is Cole
Blease," said Mayor Grace.
Graft in South Carolina is DOOM
ed said the speaker. The day
when robbery is permitted is past
and South Carolina will assert her
independence and throw over the
rule of the despot.'
Speaking of the John Black case,
Mr. Grace said in pardoning John
Black the governor himself had be-
come partner of Black in crime.

ENGLAND HAVING POLITI=
CAL BATTLE LIKE u. S.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Coincidentally
with the mussing up of party lines il
America, England is experiencing {
| political turmoil which seriously
| threatens the stability of the present
| liberal government The turmoil is
much the same as across the water
the drifting apart of progressives and
stand-patters.
Just now the conservatives are fairly
united and will be so long as they have
the home rule and Welsh disestablish-
ment bills to tear at, but the liberal
laborite coalition is admittedly in a
bad way. The forward section of the
liberals headed by Chancellor of Ex-
chequer Lloyd George is going ahead
with too much steam on to please the
more cautious element headed by Pre-
mier Asquith and Foreign Secretary
Grey, and despite the official excuse of
ill-health it is generally believed that
the recent resignation of the lord
chancellorship by Earl LOreburn was
but the beginning of split in the cab
met.
1t is not only in the cabinet that
there are indications of a rupture, for
recent bye-elections have shown con-
clusively that the rank and file of the
party are turning against the present
government. During the past Is months
the liberal majorities have been heav-
lily reduced and several seats have been
lost.

ment got itself by rushing through

Kindergarten Held Silly.

OAKLAND, Cal, Aug. 5.-In a lee
ture on 1.-The Process of Thinking,
Professor Warner Brown of the de-
partment of philosophy of the Univer-
sity of California. asserted that the
modern kindergarten absolutely is
valueless in the primary education OF
children.
Time that might be well given to
the pursuit of knowledge is dillydal-
lied away in foolishness, he said. THE
chief object of education is to teach
the child habits of accurate observa-
ton, clear discrimination and careful
judgment. Against these habits, the
telling of silly stories, weaving and
block building seriously initiate. The
most pathetic spectacle I ever have
seen in misdirected education was that
of 100 little school children IN a New
York kindergarten making scratches
on pieces of paper as letters to Santa
Claus

TIME BRINGS CHANGES.

If one accepted the Spokesman
Review as an authority on the politi-
cal sentiment in Spokane, he would
be forced to the conclusion that a
Taft man is rare speciment in that
city. But the Spokesman Review is
no more reliable in the matter of
Spoane news than it is in Idaho
news, if we may accept the word of
Spokane business men visiting this
city, observes the Wallace Press
Times. They say that there is a
strong Taft sentiment there, and that
there is unmistakable evidence that it
is growing. The hysteria is passing
away and men are taking a sane and
practical view of the situation. The
state of Washington is too deeply con-
cerned in the maintenance of republic
an policies to permit her people to
persist in a course that can have no
other ending than assisting in placing
the democratic party in control. The
next three months is likely to bring
about much change in the political
sentiment in Washington, according to
Spokane men.
