COTTON PLACED IN
CONTRAbAND CLASS.
RAW MATERIAL, LlNTERS,YARN
AND WASTE ORDERED UN.
DER CONTRABAND.

London, August 22:-Official an
nouncement was made last night
by the foreign office that Great Brit
ain had declared cotton as absolute
contraband. Information has been
received that the French govern
ment would likewise do so today.
1t was certain many weeks ago
that this step would be taken before
Parliament met again. The Daily
Mail has been referring to the cot
ton policy of the government as
"the cotton crime" and attributing
the death of almost every soldier to
the fact that cotton had not been
declared contraband.
What definite steps will be taken
to relieve any abnormal depression
in market conditions was not ex-
planned tonight, as full details are
not settled and negotiations in this
line are proceeding. 1t is stated, as al
ready has been done by Lord Robert
Cecil, Under Secretary of State, that
letiginate neutral trade would have
the utmost consideration possible.

We Need Good Roads.

With automobiles in large mum.
bers tearing through the country at
thirty miles an hour. and the ordi-
nary traffic increasing steadily, the
matter of better country roads is
becoming vital question with every
rural community in the country.
The size of our crops is not the
only thing to he considered when
speculating upon the future pros
perity of the nation. The matter of
getting those crops to market in the
quickest possible time and at least
expense is one of the most import
ant problems we have to deal with
today.
1t is an indisputable fact that au-
tomobile traffic cuts great ruts in
eur country roads, tears them to
pieces, and renders the hauling of
heavy loads of farm produce doubly
difficult.
But there is remedy, and it should
be applied.
We should build better roads
hard roads-roads that will last.
If it requires a bond issue to do
it, then let US have the bonds.
The increased facilities for mar
keting products. and the increase in
acreage as result of improved
road conditions, would more than
offset the small interest on the bonds.
It is a cold, sane, hard headed
proposition for the material welfare
of the whole community, and should
be taken up by the proper authori.
ties without loss of time.
Wherever you find high grade
country roads, there you invariably
find a prosperous class of people.
We need them here, and we can
accommodate all of the prosperity
that follows in their wake.

BIease for Governor In 1916.

The following is taken from the
Newberry Herald & News. of which
Mr. E H Aull ,one of Blease's staunct
supporters, is editor:
Gov Blease makes the positive
statement that he will be a candi'
date for Governor in the campaign
of 1916. He says the demands fol-
him to do so come from all parts of
the State and that they are so strong
he cannot afford to deny this demand
from his friends who have stood by
him 80 many times. Personally he
has no desire to make the race or to
be Governor, because his ambition in
that line has been satisfied by having
served two terms. But if it is the
opinion of his friends that it is his
duty to lead the people in the fight
which is to be made next year, he
cannot give deaf ear to such a call
and he will respond.
His statement is brought forth by
an article which Mr. w P Beard pub
lished in the Scimitar a few issues
back, and the letter is to Mr. Beard
in reply to the charge in that article
that there had been a deal between
Blease and Cooper. Gov Blease
leaves little doubt as to his position
in regard to supposed deal with
Mr. Cooper and as to his attitude in
the campaign next year.
If MIR Blease should enter the
campaign next year it will not be
dull campaign, but there will be
something doing at every meeting,
There seems now to be no doubt
that he will enter. because his friends
from all parts of the State are de-
manding that he make the campaign

Are You a Porcupine?

If you meet your neighbor and he
asks you if you are a porcupine,
say yes"
The Loyal Order of Porcupines is
a new movement just inaugurated
in California by the Hon Lyman }
Gage, former secretary of the treas
ury. There is no mystery, no initia'
sion fee, and no ceremony. and yet
It has caught the public fancy and
is growing by leaps and bounds, and
is spreading all over the country
wherever people live who are loya'
to our country and its flag.
The porcupine is the only animal
that never bites any one and yet is
never bitten. It's myriad of quills are
its protection, and all other animal:
give it a wide berth.
Mr. Gage would have the United
States in the position of the porcu
pine. He would have US so sur
rounded and girded by quills of de
fense that no foreign nation woult
care to invade our peaceful shores
He would not have great stand
inp army, nor would he have Vi
bristle with the curse of aggressive
militarism: but he would have ever!

In another column of this paper
will be found an act passed at the
last session of the General Assembly
relating to the catching or stoppage
of fish in inland streams by means of
seines or nets. A careful perusal of
this law as given therein will per-
haps interest fishermen and may
save some of them from being re-
ported and having to appear in a
magistrates court to answer charges
of violation.
