We notice that the good roads bill
passed by congress has been signed
by the president. 1t provides funds
for each State in the aid of road
building on condition that each State
do its part in the work. South Caro-
lina's portion to be available in five
years is 500, provided South
Carolina appropriate an equal amount.
Properly expended that would build
a lot of good roads. 1t is an invest
ment that will pay big dividends. If
the work once starts the federal gov
ernment will increase the appropria-
ton from year to year and soon we
will have some roads that are worth
while. 1t is coming, and we would
like to see it start.
This is something which the candi-
dates for the legislature might dis
cuss with profit and let the people
know how they stand on the subject
of better roads. Not simply generalize
about the value of good roads as we
have heard some candidates exploit
and blow off about good government.
OF course we all favor good govern
ment and good roads, but what do
you propose to do to bring about
these good things.
In order to get our proportion o.
this government aid there will have
to be some sort of legislation to pro-
vide the means and possibly the es-
tablishment of a road department of
the government, but whatever is nee
essary should be done.

Whatever doubts may have been
entertained have been dispelled.
There may have been some who clung
with faith to a belief that nature
would reverse its laws under certain
circumstances, but the rains of the
last few days have proved that nature
is yet on the job.
Whenever loose sand, or dead, pull
verized and non-cohesive dirt is rak-
ed from the cutters upon the surface
of the street, the sand or dirt afore-
said is bound to wash back again.
That has long been known to many
of the ordinary lay citizens and Some
day may be realized as a fact by the
city government.
when it is realized, there will be a
saving in wasted time and energy.
There are no better streets for the
residence section than clay and sand
when they are mixed and rolled
But loose dirt will wash away. Ex-
cept IN dry weather, when it will
blow away-Columbia Record.
Just what we have been saying
about Newberry for many years. This
thing of patch work on the streets
should be stopped. 1t is a waste of
time and energy and money. 1t is a
fact that does not need proof. 1t is
demonstrated before your very eyes
every day. When those in authority
will provide the superintendent of
streets with the means to do some
permanent work and then let him do
it, then will we begin to save the
money of the taxpayer and the city
will have some good streets.
By the way, while in Columbia the
other day we noticed that some of
the wood block paving was bulging
up in the middle and that did no:
have the appearance of permanent
work. We had no idea that wood
block paving would do that The
same thing is happening in ATLANTA
according to the papers. Brick seems
to be the most durable though it is
fearfully noisy and dusty.

sPRTPAREDNESS AT HOME.n

A few days ago we called attention
to the epidemic of infantile paralysis
in New York city. Much to the sor-
row of the people everywhere, this
scourge shows no abatement, and it's
spread seems alarming.
1t is feared that this terrible mala-
dy may reach the South. We state
this upon the opinion of a resident
physician who has had much expe-
rience in epidemics. His advice is
the same as that given by the New
York board Of health to the city of
New York-not advice, but impera-
tive orders-the city must be made
clean.
Why can not all of the forces of Co.
lumbia be united to force cleaning
up of this city? Especially will it
be needed when this period of inter-
mittent rains is over. Old fences, old
sheds, weeds and rubbish-all should
come away and expose the dirtt O the
sunlight-Columbia Record.
We have been looking around over
the city of Newberry and we repro
duce this from The Record to en-
phasize the Importance of some
cleaning up around this good town.
There are a lot of weeds in yards of
private residences as well as On the
streets that need to be taken away
so that the sunshine may come in
If there was united effort and CO.

aON SCHOOL MATTERS"

We are entirely in accord with the
position of those who would do away
with the present system of awarding
scholarships in the States institu-
tions of higher learning, and who at
the same time would abolish free
tuition. There is no reason for the
State furnishing free tuition to one
student if it is not furnished to all.
A student who can afford to pay
board and other expenses of attend
ing college should at the same time
be able to pay small annual amount
for the support of the institution
from which he is obtaining an edu-
cation.
There was time perhaps when
there was reason for the scholarships
now being awarded and for free tut
tion. There was time when the ex-
penses of securing an education were
very large as compared with the
financial ability of parents and guard
ians to give their children college
course. But the time has passed.
The building of Clemson and Win
throp colleges and the lessened ex-
penses in other Institutions, have put
college education within the grasp
of every boy and girl in South Caro-
lima worthy of an education, provided
they have a desire to acquire the
same. And while the cost of procur-
ing these educational advantages has
been lessened the ability of the peo-
pie to pay has many times increased.
! A great many more people would
attend the colleges of the State if the
proper preparatory course could be
had in the country schools. 1t is
there that the children need help
most, because it is to these institu
tions that all the children of the State
must look for at least a part of the
education which they are to receive
The spending of large amounts Of
money by the State in the support Of
high schools in the towns is akin to
free tuition and scholarships in the
State colleges Press and
Ranner.
We agree with you entirely as to
scholarships. Some ten years ago
when this editor was member of the
legislature he introduced bill to
abolish all scholarships in State in
sttutions of higher learning. There
was a great howl from the politicians
about taking away from the poor
girls the opportunity of getting an
education, and then there came from
the Citadel a protest that it would
destroy that institution because prac-
tically all of its State appropriation
is for scholarships. We did not mean
to injure the Citadel but to support
it just as it had been, giving it what
was necessary to run it.
We also had a bill to do away with
the charge for tuition for the reason
that practically no one was paying
any tuition in any of the State

MASCOTS.

We notice in the Anderson Tribune
that a gentleman over about Pied
mont or Pelzer has given to COM
pany from Anderson as a mascot his
pet dog, Cole, and that the only re-
quest he makes is that they bring
Collie back to him if he is not killed
in battle or does not die from dis
ease.
While in Columbia the other day
we learnetd that MIR. Allen M. Sond.
ley, former Newberry boy, had
given to Max Lewis, a sergeant of the
Butler Guards of Greenville, his pet
goat as mascot and we Were told
that his majesty the goat would be
kept at company headquarters.
1t is our hope that the mascots will
prove a benediction to the. boys while
in camp. There is not much danger
Of being killed in battle, because We
do not believe there will be any bat
tie, but there is danger from disease.

agree With The Press and Banner
that any boy or girl that is prepared
to enter the freshman class Of any
college and has the capacity to take
an education can get one without the
aid of the State.
Then to make these free scholar
ships and give free tuition puts the
denominational college at a disadvan-
tage. And these institutions have
done and are doing a great work in
the education of the youth of the
State, and they are filling a very i'm

tenn.
what the State should do is to en-
courage and build up the preparatory
schools of the State. There is where
the great majority of the people get
all the education they ever receive
and there is the duty of the State to
fit the child for citizenship.

SERMON ON THE
MERCY OF GOD''
ANOTHER LARGE CoNGREGA-
TON AT ST. MICHAERS
CHURCH TO HEAR REV. FAITH
Err ALLARD.

Last night at st. Michael's church
Father Allard preached splendid
sermon on "The Mercy of God" in
which he showed how ready and eager
God is to extend mercy and bestow
pardon upon all repentant sinners.
The speaker in his introduction CON
trasted the unrelenting attitude of
man toward those who sin against
the law of God and of the land, with
the tenderness and love manifested by
our Saviour towards those who vio-
late His commands. From the very
beginning the whole history of Gods
dealings with sinful man is won
derful exemplification of love, long
suffering and mercy. Especially is
this shown IN the life, teachings ano
death of our Lord.
"When God shows Himself so ready
to forgive and restore the repentani
sinner to His love and friendship,
said the speaker, ''how can the sinner
refuse to seek and secure the bless.
ings held out to him ?" In conclusion
Father Allard warned the sinner thai
it is dangerous to delay asking God;
pardon, for death might come sud
denly and cut off all opportunity.

LENGTHY NOTE is SENT
BY GENERAL CARRANZL

B1 GENERAL CARRANZA
Mexico City, April 13.-The Next
can government has sent to its am
bassador in Washington a note that
was to be delivered at 10 a. m. this
morning to Ser etary Lansing asking
that the American troops be with
drawn from Mexican territory, and
that the pursuit of Villa be left to
the Mexican constitutionalist army.
The note contains about 5000 words.
In it the de facto government of Mex
leo contends that, as the American
troops crossed into Mexico without
permission, they should be Withdrawn
until a proper formal compact can
be entered into between the two gov
ernments. It is insistently affirmed
that the previous notes to the Mex
lean government, especially empha-
sized the fact that permission for re-
ciprocal crossing of the frontier
would be granted only in the event
of the repetition of a raid similar to
that made by Villa at Columbus, N.
I'M.
The note was sent to Eliseo Arren-
do, the Carranza representative in
Washington with instructions for its
delivery to Secretary Lansing, $50
ending negotiations for a reciprocal
passing of troops and asking for dis
occupation of the territory occupied
by American troops in view of Villas
party having been destroyed"
Emphasis is laid on the fact that
the American expedition was under.
taken under a misunderstanding AL
though acting in good faith, the dec
laration is made that the United
States had interpreted the first note
of the de facto government as effect
ing definite agreement between the
two nations. But the intention of the
de facto government was that no ex,
petition should be sent into Mckee
until terms and conditions relative tC
an agreemnt were defined.
The note declares, therefore, that
in consequence of no final agreement
having been reached as to the terms
of the treaty to regulate the recipro.
cal passage of troops over the divid
ing line, "the Mexican government
judges it convenient to suspend fol
the present all discussion or negotia
tions in this particular, or founded OF
the circumstances that the expedition
sent by the United States government
to pursue Villa is without foundation
in virtue of the non-existence of (
previous agreement formal and def
mite"
What was intended by the note O
March 10, it is pointed out, was t,
submit a proposal ''by means of whicl
the forces of one and the other coun
try could reciprocally cross the di
viding line in pursuit of bandits i
unfortunately there should be repeat
ed along the border acts like thos
committed in Columbus"
