AMERICAN ROAD CONGRESS.

Regarding the public roads as
an indispensable part of the
transportation system OF the
country, supplementiug ITS rail-
roads and waterways, President
Harrison, of the Southern Rail
way Company, takes all active
interest in the good roads move
ment. He is vice president of the
American Highway Association
and will be one of the speakers
at the Fourth American Road
Congress in Atlanta, the week
of November 9.
Speaking of the relation of
the country highway to the rail
road. Mr.. Harrison said. "What-
ever may be the final destination
of the farm products, their first
movement must be over the
country road and if the farmer
is to receive the largest measure
of benefit from good roads the
policy should be adopted of i'm
proving those highways which
radiate from market towns and
shipping stations and over
which the farmers must haul
their products. The profit which
will be earned by the farmer
may depend largely upon the
condition of the road from his
farm to a shipping station. Sta
tistics compiled by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture show
that the cost.of hauling farm pro-
ducts to shipping points over
bad roads is a disproportIonate
ly large part of the total expense
of their transportation to market

crumbling before every cannon
shot. The English people right
now are in revolt against the
conditions which permit a few
men, a king and his advisers, to
say that a million men must go
out and kill other millions whom
they do not know and against
whom they can harbor no real
enmity.
Germany declares war. Eng
land declares war. France de-
clares war, Lies! All lies. Ten
men, common mortals as you and
I. ten men have declared war
and but ten men are interested
in the outcome and yet for each
one of the ten already has 10000
men given up their lives.
Unutterable folly.
The only divine right conferred
on man was that of service.

CUT OUT CoTToN-RAIsE MEAT i.

The financial conditions which
we have had in Clarendon county
for the past sixty days, and
through which we are still pass
ing, has demonstrated the fool
ishness of depending altogether
on cotton, and had it not been
for the little bit of tobacco that
was planted in Clarendon county
and sold here this summer there
would hardly have been enough
money in circulation about in
tie county to pay off the cooks
and washer women on Saturday
evenings.
Already the effect of the past
two years of good prices for cot.
ton has discounted the raising
of hogs, and you could hardly go
out in the country and buy three
fifty pound shotes IN days
ride at eight cents per pound on
foot. The farmer himself is
largely to blame for this, also
the lien merchant who wants to
make advances to him at exhorb-
liant prices and practically re-
fuses to make him advances in
anything but cotton. But the
farmer is an easy fellow to put
the blame on. Where he has his
own land he is entitled to wear
great deal of blame for his con-
dltion, but where he has to rent
land and give a lien the PROPOSE
tion is very different. Land rents
are too high in this county. How
can a man pay seven dollars per
acre rent and pay for fertilizers
and come out on what be makes
on an acre, with the tendency on
the part Of the landlord being |
that the more be fertilizes the
land and builds it up, the higher
the landlord raises the rent. AS
a rule the bigger the landlord in
this county the smaller taxpay-
er he is in proportion to what he
holds his land at. The general

THE DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS

Europe today gives US the
logic of the divine right of kings
Over in Belgium there is a
mother who, years ago, when
life was radiant with promise,
when love and laughter grew in
the little garden, when twilight
was but the elimination of the
joyous labors begun with the
dawn, when the thatched hut
was as full of song as the
boughs of the little hedge are in
the thrushes' mating time, met
the lord OF her love at the eve
uing table.
We do not know what the
talk was about; 1t may have been

gossip of the village or the plans
for the next market day; what

ton of toll. the love of those
who have found their kingdom
and entered into the humble
task thereof, permeated the talk
and even the trials of life were
strangely pleasant.
Then came the call to arms.
White.faced and dry-eyed the
woma,. stands at the door, mite
OF humanity held to her breast.
She sees her good man, with
laggard steps and many a back
ward glance, walk down the
path between the beet beds and
out into the highway. She
watches him as he plods away
to the village. Slowly his form
fades into the mists of the eve
ming. The sun has set. The
world is plunged in darkness
and still she stands, staring into
the darkness asking "Why?" :
BY THE DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS.
The other day she stood again
at the door. This time so feeble
she clung to the easement for
support; her form is bent, her
hair is gray, her eyes can no
longer see the little knoll from
which her man waved his final
farewell on that fateful day
long-so long-ago. And now
it is the son who walks down the
garden path to the road and dis
appears in the gathering gloom.
Again she stands and gazes
with unseeing eyes. Again in
her supergrief she is asking
"Why?"

The picture is pitiably made.

millions from their hearth and

When the dogs and foxes and
vultures have picked the last

to those who made the real sac
rifce to count their gains and
contemplate their irreparable
losses, what answer will the
kings make to those who clamor
before their palaces?
THE DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS?
THE KING CAN DO NO WRONG?
What Infamous blasphemy !!
Are we to believe that God has
given the Little White Father
the right to send his subjects
out to murder their German
brothers? Are we to believe
that the Prince of Peace has con-

brethren?

policy of the law in South
Carolina favors the landlord
more than it does the man who
has to rent. There is no ques-,
ton about that. The landlord
has a first lien upon everything
that is produced upon the land,
regardless of who furnished the
stuff to make the crop with, and
that lien upon dollar and cents
basis, regardless of whether the
fellow who plants the land
makes:a good crop or a failure {
as a result of dronth or other
disaster. If large landlord own
ers paid their proper proper
tion of taxes and were made TO
share upon some equitable basis
in what the land made, protected
against tenants falling down and
doing nothing and throwing
away their crops, conditions
would be much improved, as af-
feets both the man making the
crop and the man furnishing the
supplies. # such were the case
a landlord in a time like this
would be made to share in seven
cents cotton prices, but as it is
when bis rents become due he
can demand it, whether cotton
brings seven cents or twelve
cents per pound. Such times as
through which we are passing
sometimes teach good lessons,
but if we had twelve and thirteen
cent cotton next year there
would be very little meat raised,
an insufficient corn crop, land.
lords would want ten dollars per
acre rent and ask seventy-fve
dollars per acre for ordinary
farming lands, and some farmers
would be foolish enough to try
to pay it, and thousands and
thousands of dollars which could
be otherwise more proftably
used would be spent for automo-
bi]es. Contributed Article.

This is not always fully realized
by the farmer, but if he will take
into account the time of himself
and his team. the year and tear
of his vehicle and harness made
necessary by a large number of
trips with smaller loads, he Will
find that the cost amounts up
very fast and correspondingly
reduces his net profits. Another
item of the cost of bad roads to
the farmer, which is often over
looked, is that he must haul his
products to markets when the
roads are not in their best con-
dition with little regard as to
whether prices are favorable or
whether hauling at that time in
terferes with work on the farm.
With good roads be can not only
haul heavier loads in shorter
time, but except as to perish.
able commodities, he can market
his products when prices are
most favorable and can do his
hauling when it is most conven-
lent and even when the ground
is too wet for work in the fields.
"The manifold advantages of
an improved highway in reduc-
ing the cost of drayage, facilita-
ting social intercourse, promot-
ing school and church attend
ance, expediting rural mail de-
livery, increasing the value of
farm lands, and promoting agrl-
cultural development back from
the railroads are so great that
they need but to be enumerated
to present a convincing argu-
ment in favor of road improve
ment.
"Since several years ago when
the Southern Railway Company,
in conjunction with the U. S.
Agricultural Department and
State and local authorities, op-
Grated over its lines a good
roads train, carrying machinery
and lecturers, and building at
central points object lesson
roads, there has been very sub
stantial progress in the good
roads movement throughout the
South. This was accelerated in
1911 by the operation of another
good roads train in cooperation
with the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and the American
Highway Association. The in
terest Of the Southern people in
good roads has been thoroughly |
aroused and in many localities
the country highways have been
highly improved and are being
adequately maintained.

the farmers unquestionably is to
get their cotton out as fast as,
possible and let the merchants

is an almost unprecedented con-
dition that we are passing

any substantial relief from the

Tar as Clarendon county is con-
cerned, because the government
is not going to place its funds on
deposit in any but national banks,
and there is not a national bank
in Clarendon county, and we
have not heard of any effort on
the part of any of the State
banks in this county to obtain
any government funds from the
national banks, although it is
understood that this is a part Of
the scheme of the governments

that if the bonds Of the couaty
can obtain any relief from this
source they will make the proper
efforts to do it. Tt is q time for
real cooperation, and not a time
for oppressive foreclosures. At

by people attempting to shirk
honest debts and not make the
proper effort to give some salts

owe. We really 90 not look for
any great relief until it can be
seen which way this European
war is going to terminate, and
the expectation of cotton to Eng
land is resumed. The present
indications now are that if the
war is not ended in thirty days
the side of the allies will be
| su sciently successful by that
time as that we shall see some
trade resumed with England,
some cotton exported, and a cot
