BELIEVE BIG BOND ISSUE
LOOKED UpONFAVORAB[Y Y

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 21.-Onicials
OF the South Carolina Association and
Oh the good roads convention recently
held in Columbia declare that rcports
from every section of South Carolina
indicate marked enthusiasm for the
proposition launched at the convention
Tor system Of permanent highways
The movement is gaining in momcn-
tum as it sweeps over the state and
great interest is being awakened in
it everywhere.
Petitions are to be placed in circu-
latlon at once among the automobile
owners OF the state, who are the most
vitality interested because it is their
pocketbooks that will be touched, ask
ing the General Assembly of the State
of South Carolina to authorize an
election on the question of issuing
100000 worth of bonds for the
purpose of building a system of con-
crete roads connecting every county
seat IN the state. Men WHO are in
position to Judge say that the SEN
timcnt among the automobile owners
Is very strong in favor Of tho bond
! issue and it is believed that an over
whelmine majority of them will sign
the petitions.
The plan for the bond issue was
suggested at the recent good roads
| convention by II, Goodwin Rhett, of
Charleston, one of the ablcst finan-
2ier of the state after he had made
close study of the various methods
OF financing road building that has
been adopted in other states. This
plan has met more general approval
than any other plan that has been
offered
In order to finance the scheme there
will have to be an issue of state
bonds. but it is proposed to have plac-
ed in the act of authorizing the bond
ISSUE 4 provision, /stipulating that the
interest and sinking fund for the
bonds will be taken care of by special
automobile tax.
| Some people may think it rather a
lnrge undertaking Ip float a $25 ,O00,-
600 bond issue solely upon an auto
mobile tax. A little figuring, how
ever, will convince anyone that it can
'oe done. There are now in the state
| $4,000 automobiles, an increase of 80
per cent in tive years. 1t is certain
that there will he another in crease in
the next two years. Automobiles now
pay an average license tax of $500
per annum. 1t is proposed to incre Il So
this to an average tax Of $40 per an
mum, quite a small sum when, one con-
slders the benefit that will accrue to
the average auto owner from the
good roads that will be built. He will
! more than save the difference in the
tires and gasoline.
| Officials of the auto association
| claim that is has never required more
than very little talk to convince an
automobile owner that the plan is a
good one and every automobile who
has studied it is enthusiastically for it.

BOLSHEV|STS
RAISE HEADS

PEORIA, ILL.,, Nov. 15.-The reign
Of bolshevism is about to open in or
ganiZed baseball. Acting on a reso-
luton offered by A. R. Tierney, pres
ident Of the Three-Eye League, and
presented by Jack Holland, presi-
dent Of the st. Joseph Club of the
Western League, the minor league
association, in session here, have
voted against the draft and the op-
tional agreement in baseball. Thomas
]. Hickey, president of the Ameri-
can Association, urged the minors to
revolt from the major leagues in
, case Of q refusal OF the proposition.
Tierney's resolution came as a
shock. It would compel the major
leagues to purchase players outright
from the minors instead of drafting
them. and would prevent drafting
among the minors as well. Under its
provisions the majors would have to
take a chance on every player pur-
chased, a thing which they do not
do under the optional agreement sys-
tenn.
The resolution further stipulstes
that when a major league club re-
leases a player to the minors all
strings are cut. 80 that II the club
releasing the player wants him back
again it must bid for his services.

Fear is No Disgrace.

An English observes calls attention
to the fact that our world war has de-
stroyed the fear OF being afraid. Here
tofore, even to most distant antiquity,
the one quality insisted on in the soldier
was that he should be fearless and the
more callously SO the better The faint
est tremor of timidity Was black mark
against the most resplendent knight as
well as the low1iest bowman or halbardier
and the schooling for war was an utter
defiance of the personal risk
This theory held, as many will remem-
Der, even till the period Of the Boer war
when the British suffered so severely
in officers because it was held cowardly
for commander to seek cover Men,
! then as now. felt fear, for that is one Of
! fesh's attributes and indeed is one Of the
most valuable Of human possessions, since
! fear is our protection from dangers and
harms innumerable We fear wild beasts
| to avoid them. snakes and spiders to in
! crease our attention, storms and tempests
/ that we may prepare means OF escape
from them.
/ So II was only in battle that chivalry
insisted that man should be without fear
or pretend to be-
with the coming OF new warfare, how
ever, all lands at once came to a more
sane understanding and the old physca
bravery has given place to moral resolu
ton. The man who now enters the hel
of shell fire, of hurled flames and deadly
gasses, no longer attempts to fool him
self into the belief that he is not afraid
He knows full well and only stupid ma
ture could avoid the knowledge, that tn,
human is at the mercy of forces a mil
lion times beyond his own ability t,
counter The old knight might really be
lieve he was able to unhQrse all the enc
mics that rode against him and there
. fore might conceivahly be without fear
but how can soldier feel that way whel
? facing modern weapons of destruction?
Therefore, it is no longer a disgrace t
feel fear or to admit it. only disgrace i
t to allow fear to prevent one doing hi
duty. How much finer fiber is needed 70
