A MISTAKE.

When we read a few weeks ago the
correspondence between our towns
man, Col. j. D. Kerr and Mr.. Henry
y. Ford, we did so with sorrow, be
cause we knew that a great mistake
had been made, and that the people
throughout the world would have
cause to regret the decision which
Col. Kerr had made, not to 60 on
the peace mission, although we knew
that his furniture business and the
buggy business needed his valuable
services.
Accordingly, we were not surpris-
ed to read in the daily papers that
Mr.. Ford had taken the town feeling
as soon as he saw the big buildings
On the other side of the waters.
Now Mr.. Ford is quite a large man
in an automobile factory in Detroit,
hut it did not take him long to see
that he is not a national, o an in
ternational character, and we must
all give him credit for having the
good sense to take sick.
But that it not where the trouble
comes in. As soon as Mr.. Ford left
the Peace Party, it became neces-
sary to elect a new Leader. There
were a good many prominent men,
and o good many men with temerity
enough to try to settle the war,
among them our own distinguished
Lieutenant Governor, Andrew Jack
son Bethea, but for one cause or
another, they could not be gotten in
to harness. For instance, Governor
Bethea had to hurry back to South
Carolina to try a case in the Magis-
trate's court, and he could not take
the job, and those who have taken
the place have not made a success
Of the expedition. They have even
gotten matters to where a man must
carry his own grip.
The emergency which has about
ruined the chances of the expedition,
is the emergency in which our distin-
guished townsman would have
shined. His high standing with the
"poor man" all over. the country
would have made him the fit repre-
sentative of the men in the trenches
(the poor men) to ride up to En-
peror William and King George and
the others, cock his pistol and de-
mand that war cease, and that the
men be allowed to go home and
spend Christmas. And then his
large experience with furniture men
in Atlanta, Ca, and High Point, N.
c., has given him the necessary d.
rlomatic training to put the job
across.
All of which causes US to remark
again:
"There is a tide in the affairs of
men," etc.

GOOD ROADS.

(American Highway Assciation.)
In his last annual report the Sec
reary of Agriculture emphasized the
intimate relation of good roads to
both the production and distribution
of farm products. "They are" he
said, "prerequisite not only to eco
nomical production and distribution,
but also to the promotion of the
broader life of the communities. at
does not require arguments to prove
it. The visible evidence is in every
community where the roads have
been improved. Without good roads
suited to the traffic they must bear
there can be no economy in the
handling of agricultural products
from the field to the market and ev-
cry dime or dollar expended in trans
portation is a tax upon every pound
cf stuff brought out of the soil. Mil
lions have been wasted on the public
roads Of the country because they
have not been properly built in the
first place and have not been main
tanned after construction. Some
thing more, a good deal more, is re-
quired than the building of roads
and one of the most important of
the conditions to be considered is
their proper drainage.
There are in the United States vast
areas of land that might be made
productive if they were drained eff
fectively and though all these re-
gions the building of good roads
ought to go hand in hand with the
drainage of the lands. An object
lesson of how the two things should
go together is to be found at Char

Those who forget today seldom re-

Petulance is a shadow that clouds
the sunshine of life.
There is always one chance, when
you think you have a chance.
Conclusion goes in leaps and
bounds while thought lags behind.
To like poetry is not a duty, but
it is a misfortune not to do SO.
Poets seek the beautiful; philoso-

From out of the soul, pluck out the

For hope is here, while life is night.
That slang is always expressed best,
When immigration expresses the rest
There are old men who sit dreaming
in the sun,
Waiting and watching until their day

Not caring then how the chain is

That holds them but how ease can
be bought.
False modesty will not look at
naked truth, unless it is draped in
fig leaves.

Cooperation of the commercial or

one another and with the farmers re-

ing to Rev. Harley Jackson, mayor of
Pullman, who spoke at the Chamber
of Commerce luncheon today, the most
promising means of community deyel-

The old idea, that commercial or
ganizations existed for the fixing of
prices and the determining of credit
ratings, is a thing of the past. the
speaker said. Commercial clubs are
in the problems of COM
munity development, and are the
things that put pep, ginger and life
