ager, has been recovered. 1t is
estimated there were 100 Amer

than seventy Americans were

In Washington the situation in
view of the loss of American

the German government for its
report of the disaster. The first
formal comment from the White
House was to the effect that the
President is very earnestly but
very calmly, considering the
right course to pursue, knowing
that the country wished him to
act with deliberation as we'll as

made bond for over $1,000, but
efter it was learned that the
State was unable to pay in its
full part this year the court met
and the bondsmen asked to be
released. The court acted gen.
erously, guaranteed the release
and re. submitted the original
proposition with the additional
requirement that the right of
way be contributed or guaranteed
under bond. Under this prop
osition only the jamestown and
Liberty roads entered the con-
test and the latter won by pre-
senting deeds for the right of
way and a guarantee of So, 400
payable July LIST. 1915.
The effort made on both roads
was earnest, honest and energet-
ic, and no mutterings are heard,
but evidence OF good will and
substantial aid is coming from
some of the most active workers
on the Jamestown road. We
congratulate the loyalty, pluck
and determination of the active
workers on the Columbia and
Liberty road, for they put up a
clean fight and a game finish.
The fact is they never sulk, and
never surrender until the battle
is over, their motto being:
eff at first you don't succeed,
Try, try again '.''I .''..
All the other loiks can do
Why in patience may not you?
Only Keep this rule in view,
1t will always pull you through"
Last, but not least, we con-
graduate the court in its efforts
and determination to get out of
the old ruts, to accept from the
State road law every advantage
offered to build good roads, and
its open, honest, fair efforts to
extend a square deal to all. Just
how much road can be built with
the money available we do not
know, but the fact the move
ment starts ought to be inspiring
to all. In the future, as in the
past, the people directly inter-
ested in the Improvement of the
Liberty road, must stand united
and determined to build the road
to the county line and open up
another outlet for this county,
not only to the good road section
of the State, but to the Southern
Road. Keeping everlastingly at
it brings success. The ball has
started and we must keep it roll
ing-on to Liberty.
