JURISDICTION.

Some days ago we read in the
daily papers that the people of Spar
tanburg county were awake to the
necessity of good roads in that coun-
ty. One of the notices stated that
two more split log drag associations
had been organized in the county,
bringing the total Of these organiza-
tions up to five. The purpose of
these organizations is to drag the
public highways of the county after
each rain and to keep the roads in
order.
The organization planned that
each resident along the several roads
would assume control of a certain
section of the road, which he would
drag as often as occasion required.
He was to keep account of his time
and report the same to the head of
the organization, who was to hand
the same to the county supervisor,
and request payment at the rate of
twenty-five cents per hour.
This plan seemed to promise some
results, and if carried out would
have guaranteed to Spartanburg
county at least some good roads, a
blessing which Abbeville county
does not now enjoy.
But while things looked promis-
ing, they were not so. These cit-
zens of Spartanburg county who pay
the taxes to build good roads and
who must travel them, made q grave
mistake. They overlooked the
JURISDICTION of a township
board, whose chief claim to fame,
we presume, is that they stand be-
tween the people and all progress
along all lines. By a little JURIS-
iDICTION a small man may be great
,ly pulled up. -. .
The people of Spartanburg county
should not lose hope. They should
go forward and keep the roads up at
their own expense. The taxes which
they pay for this purpose will be
duly spent-for salaries

REMOVING TAR FROM GAS

The problem of removing all traces of tar from gas has always presented certain difficulties, and from eXperi- ments recently carried out it would seem that an electrical method is likely to solve the problem. The principle in- troduced is similar to that used in the smelting industry for the precipitation of lead and other fumes. A specially constructed electrode. from which high-tension direct ct-current discharges emanate. is suspended in a cast iron inverted U-tube, constructed from standard S-incn pipe covered on the outside with d jacketing of felt. The arms of the U-tubc are each nine feet long. The electrode consists of two cast-iron disks four inches in diameter and placed five feet eight inches apart, connected by means of q light gas pipe. Fine discharge wires are stretched from disk to disk in the form of a squirrel cage. The high-tension dis charge has the effect of causing all the tiny particles of tar to be precipitated.

Tn. F,rners and the Town

The Republican receipt of letter from a reader endorsing late editorial on the com plant of the farmers that they are not get ,inE square teal in Phoenix, but he thinks one statement may be misunderstood in relation ,o the municipal regulations which compel farmers who come to trade to leave their vehicles a, some distance from business district the down town hitching posts having been removed The writer suggests that might be inferred that the merchants secured this regulation.
 We were aware that that not the case It was so well understood that many, all the merchants opposed this arrangement that We did nut think necessary to refer to their attitude toward it We know that of the merchants vigorously opposed it. while others. recognizing that traffic the downtown streets had become SD conEested make the removal of the hitchins posts and necessary favored the setting aside of districts eniently business centers where teams could be kept.
 this suggestion revives the matter of the relation of the merchants of Phoenix and their proper dependence for their mutua! advantage. have already pointed out. the merchants could not very well get along without the farmers. and better the farmers along. the better business and all the residents of Phoenix will get along If the farmers pros porous the is bound to be prosperous If crops actively at good prices real estate in city and country take greater activity.
 It is a regrettabIe that the last two years crops have brought good prices in this valley. There has been defect in the marketing arrangements. The farmers. of them. have their cooperative associations, but they do cutie solve the marketing problem. Even the home has been systematized and developed and the outside market it has always reen a chaotic
 i merchants of Phoenix would get together with the farmers to bring the valley products the attention of the entire country. the results would he profitable to both.
 We may speak of the relations between the merchants of the California with the farmers and fruit growers in their various localities. The
 well organized agrcuturists have systematized the market question through their associations, and in doing they have had all the aid the local chants give them The merchants. the real estate and all business of Los Angeles. for in stance have a in the eastern and lemon markets hardly second that of the growers themselves. It is all for the greater glory and Iroft of California.

The Casualties of the War

war is sufficiently horrible, so that we should take occasion when can, Q minimize it's horrors. We should in mind that counting the cost of it in casualties have two sets of figures to choose from According these sets the casualties have been neghborhood of 40000O0 and, according the other 12 900 OOO This wide discrepancy is explained when how the figures have been made up The smaller number is obtained by taking the aggregate of the losses admitted by each nation The larger Der results from taking the aggregate the losses which the Teutonic allies say various countries of the entente have sustained losses which the latter say the Teutons have suffered In view of the lying well the shooting which has been going since the outbreak of war we wonder that the larger number is so small
 The number of prisoners in the hands of each of the countries may be pretty accurately stated and we believe that the figures have been held reasonably close to the facts. It estimates of the losses of killed and wounded of the enemy that all the countries have given irnag- nation The aggregate of all their claims is equal to all the soldiers who engaged in the war m the beginning and have joined in it since
 in the dispatches of yesterday one from Geneva stated that the Ausrians had lost 10000 men in forty-eght hours in the fighting north of IubIin No doubt in that part of the great eastern battle heid the fighting was the Aus ulahs "ho were on the aggressive must have lost heavily But 1t would be impossible for the Rms sians to know anything about he Austrian casual ties since in that theater the war for the last Tour days they have been constantly leaving battle fields for areas
 It has been in nearly all the battles except in trench fighting, as at Neuve Chapee and ynres where charges were made and where men lay thick on the ground so that they could be counted by the victorious forces which held the field

UNITED STATES ID ASK
(Continued from Page One)

ican question have been aware for some time that the views of the Pan -Ameri- cans were being taken into considera tion and on various occasions there were seen in the presidents utterances evidences to that effect Thursdays conference is the step the president and his cabinet had in mind when a few weeks ago a statement was issued to the American people on the Mexican situation, intended also for the infor- nation of the Mexican leaders them selves This statement declared in forceful language that the patience O. the United States was becoming eX- haUsted with three years of revolution and chaos and that unless the Mexican leaders found a way to accommodate their differences the United States as NeXiCcs next friend and neighbOr would be constrained to decide what means should be employed to restore peace
 Some of the closest observers of the Mexican situation as long ago as last March professed to see the presidents plan for Pan American cooperation when he delivered an address on the Argentine battleship Morena and said:
 'T feel I am speaking the sentiments of my fellow countrymen when l say there is a growing warmth and affec
 tion as well as an understanding for the countries of the great American hemisphere which we are coming daily to understand better and which are. hope, daily coming to understand us better and to which we are drawn by feeling as well interest-by q desire to he comrades with some common under standing for humanity, as well as neighborS. I want to express my feel ingS as president of the United States that We are rapidly approaching the day when the Americas will draw to- gether as they were never drawn to- gether before and that it will be un- ion. not political ties, but an under standing for mutual helpfulness."
 Ii is believed the president was then thinking of PanAmerican joint action with regard to Mexico and even to joint military operations, if necessary.
 How the factions of Mexico would regard such a joint action is matter of dispute. On one hand the sugges- cion is met with the decIara ton that some South American countries typi- lied the so-called "CientificO" element On the other hand leaders professed to be ready to embrace any plan for peace which included as the first ob- ject the maint tenance of territorial sov- ereignty in Mexico, free elections and the restoration of the government to the constitutional line from which it departed with the death of President Madero and the ascendency of Victo- riano Huerta to the dictatorship.
 The state department was disturbed by reports that Villa had driven Amer ican and other foreign merchants from Chihuahua, confiscated their property and executed six of their Mexican col leagues. American consular agents were called upon for immediate repre- sentations. Protests came from the diplomatic representations of the for eign powers. Colville Barclay in

heen included by the governor in his
 messa ge: that they were not foreign to and separate items of appropriation
 but were germane. MT Ryan said that the legislature could not have included in the general appropriation bill a pro- vision for the repeal or a separate ap- propriatiOn. For instance. at an earlier session of the legislature separate ap- prOpriatiCns had been made for the sinking of artesian wells in various parts of the state It would not have been LroDer for the legislature to at tempt to repeal such acts for they had no relation to the matter contained in the governors message. But every legislature had repealed was one reIat- ing to some institution or some purpose designated by the governor in his mes sage, as one upon which the legislature should act.
 MT. Ryan took the broad view that the entire appropriation bill had been invalidated by the governor. In that he said he differed from his colleague MT. Bullard who held that only those items of the bill affected by the vetoes of the governor had been invalidated The bill, he said was now without father or mother. Mir Stoneman would have the court legitimize it in it's en- tirety.
 At four o'clock in the afternoon Judge Stanford said that he would take up the briefs and would render a decision within two or three days.

POCkETkNIVES

What becomes of all pocketknives is as great a mystery as what becomes
 of all the pins Sometimes when long
 shadows fall across the yard, when
 the night birds are calling and the
 baby across the way has squalIed his last squall until the next, we sit idly musing, recalling one by one the knives we have known and loved The
 first was a Barlow with one blade:
 with it came gladness such as the world can never know again. The second was an iron handled T. x. L.

None fingered. At 16 we acquired q 4-bladed Wosternholm that would split q hair: at 20 we owned a pearl handled boudoir blade which we carried in q buskskin sack and use only for manicuring purposes or to lend casually to a girl we pes tered, and at 25, a bearded bard we were presented by the late Adolphus Busch. in recognition of services to him and his, with a beautiful knife encaSed in a burnt bone handle. con taining a. corkscreW attachment with his picture hidden cunningly in one end and that of a strange lady with no clothes on in the other.
