A Good Roads Advocate
Hon. Thomas P. C0thran Proves
His Faith by His Works.

Columbia, Feb. 28.-"My interest
in good roads arises from a deep
concern for the agricultural interests
of the State" declared Hon. Thomas
P. Cothran. speaker of the house Of
representatives, at 3, meeting of the
joint assem- bly, Of the two houses hetd
recently to hear addresses by r..
Goodwin Rf1ett of Charleston and
others on the good roads question.
Il do not believe that there is any
principle more firmly inbedded in my
nature than that intelligent discol1-s
tent is the greatest incentive to Inn - =
provement Intelligent dsscontent
with the roads Of the State has
caused me to advocate improved
highways for our commonwealth.
There is not State in the Union
more blessed than is South Carolina.
We have the finest climate, the hnest
water and the finest people. Nowhere,
I'm no State, have the people done less
to improve what providence has
showered upon them than the peo-
lple Of South Carolina. We have
done little more than trampled upon
the flowers.
Speaker Cothran is one man in the
public life of the State who can say
that he has done more than mere
say 'I am in favor Of good roads.
He favors them. Greenyffls county
today has many miles Of nardasurfaces
roads due in a very. great degree to-
Mr.. .Cothran's efforts. That county
was the first in the State to have a
bond issue for good roads. One nil-5
| lion dollars were spent on the roads
of the country The people kicked for
a time. Mr.. Cothran had a close cali
/ from defeat the first time he ran az
ter the bond issue had been inapos-:
ed upon the people. It was necessary
for him to go through three primar-
! les. That was in 1916, before ehe5
roads had all been built. Last year
| he was elected > in. the first primary
The people have the roads now and
they appreciate them.
| incidentally, the counties sur.
rounding Greenville caught the good
roads fever from the Greenvlllia1ls.
People from Laurens county riding
on the hard surface roads Of Green
vile county decided that they wanted
permanent roads in their county. An
election was held and a big bond Is
sue authorized. The Spartanburg del-
egation in the general assembly heed
ing requests Of their constituents put
over a. n1illion-doIlar bond issue for
Spartanburg county. Bonds were
voted in Cherokee and Pickens coun-
ties. Now Anderson county is PLAN
ming a -miIlion-dollar bond issue.

Kaiser Hard Up
William Calls on Germans for
Money.

Weimar. Thursday, Feb. ~ (By the
Associated ress):-The former Ger
man emperor, it is learned from COM
petent sources. recently appealed to
the German revolutionary govern
ment for money. It was said in his
behalf it was impossible for him to
continue living upon the bounty and
good will of the Dutch nobleman in
whose castle he now resides.
Herr Hohenzollern, it is; said, de-
clares he already had been forced to
borrow 10000 guilders from his host
and could not continue as a debtor.
He asked that he be allowed at least
a portion of his private fortune.
The government, after considering
the matter, agreed to his request and
instituted detailed investigation to
determine what portion of the for
nler emperor's supposed fortune really
was his and what portion belonged to
the government. Investigation show
ed the former ruler might legally
claim 75,o00,000 marks as his own
but the government decided to allow
him temporarily only 100000 marks
to meet present Indebtedness and
future expenses.
The correspondents information,
in calling attention to this develop
ment, declared it put an end to ru-
1nors that the former emperor had
been able to take large sums Of mon
ey with him when he fed into Ho1-

Kills the Good
Roads Measure
Statewide Appeals for Legisla-
ton Fall on Deaf Ears
Vote Was Unexpected.

Columbia, Feb. 2S.-The house, by
a vote of 54 to "A tonight, continued
until next session, the good roads bill
which was passed by the senate last
night. This ends all chance of any
good roads legislation at this session.
The appeal Of Gov. Cooper and OF
people from every section of the
State for legislation looking toward
the lifting of the State out Of the mud
fell on deaf ears in the lower house
of the general assembly.
The vote came very suddenly and
unexpectedly. Representative Owens,
of Marlboro. who was fighting the
bill before the house tonight, as he
has fought every good roads bill IN
troduced at this session, was inter
rupted in the midst of a long argu-.
ment which he was making against
the bill by Representative Hamilton.
of Chester, who moved that the Dill
be continued until next session.
Representative Berry made the
point of order that the motion was
out Of order Representative Mower
who was in the chair, sustained the
point. Representative Berry, of Or
angeburg, then attempted to gain the
floor but Representative Mower ruled
that Representativ Hamilton retain
the floor. Mr.. Hamilton then moved
that the debate on the bill be ad-
iourned until the first day Of the next
session Representative Mower ruled
this motion in, order and an aye ana
nay vote was taken.
1t was contended by some Repre-
sentatives that if the bill which was
under discussion was the house Dill
amended by the senate that the only
disposition that could be made of 1t
was either to accept or reject the
senate amendment.
Objection would have sent the bill
to free conference committee.
The following voted to continue the
bill: Anderson, Atkinson, R. O. Ash
ley, Braml ett, Buckingham. Busbee,
Butler. Cade, Clinkscales, Cooper NJ.
r. Dickson. Dreher, Dukes, Eaddy,
Ellerbe. A. c.. Elierbe, E. R., Ellis, p.

Debate on the bill was bugun this
morning and continued throughout
the afternoon session and for one
hour and a half tonight. Representa-
tive Berry of Orangeburg. and Den
mis-. of Darlington. led the fight for
the adoption of the senate amend
nent. Representative Miley, Of BAN
berg, led, the fight against the bill.

.311ce his cotton acreage one-thlri
and profit by so doing personally,
and at the same time help the move
ment for the benefit OF the whole
South.
Mr.. Neill O'Donnell also endorsed
cotton acreage reduction and cur
tailment in the use of fertilizer. He
said it would never do to reduce the
cotton acreage and then have the
word go out that while the cotton
acreage had been reduced that the
fertilizer per acre had been increased.
Such policy would defeat the move
ment. He said he was confident that
the intelligent farmers of the county
would endorse the plan and carry it
out He cited several instances,
calling names. to show that a number
of farmers had already enlisted in
the cause and were reducing their
acreage and curtailing their fertiliz-
er.
Expressions of opinion from the
audience were called for, either for or
against the plan. A number of ques-
tons were asked and explanations
given by Mr.. Jennings Gov. Man
ming and others. Then a vote for the
adoption of the plan was called for,
and the result was as above stated.
Pledges were then distributed and
signed by majority of those pres
ent. Chairman Jennings called for
funds on the basis Of ten cents per
acre and nearly four hundred dollars
We're paid in and considerable
amount in addition pledged.
AS soon as the pledges can be
tabulated the amount of cotton plant
ed last year and the acreage this
year will be ascertained and pub,
lished. and the amount of reduction
will be known to all.

Share Choppers
to Reduce
Wannamaker Says Tenants Are
to Cut Average.

Columbia, March 1.-What part
will the share croppers have in the
campaign for the reduction of cotton
ACREAGE Governor Cooper, COM
missioner Harris and the State cot
ton association have had this ques-
ton put to them by numbers OF
farmers. The position OF the cotton
association is set forth III the follow
sng extract from a letter to F. Bar
ron Gfier OF Greenwood from j.
Shottowe Wannanlaker, State chair
man.
"The committee has construed the
cotton reduction of 33 1-3 per cent
in acreage as follows: (.
This is to be an absolute reduction
Of one-third of all cotton planted in
1919 as compared to 1918. This is. to
include. the cotton you plant with
share troopers, including their total
acreage as well as the total acreage
as well as the total acreage on the
main farm, 1919 cotton to be one
third less than the total acreage
planted in 1878 It is a rule that this
will not require an absolute separate
reduction Of one-third on each share
cropper, but the total reduction on
the total area planted must show
one-tf1ird loss.
Concerning renters, 1T is urged
that the landlord use every effort in
his power to induce the renter to re-
duce one-third, as he will have more
influence With him than anyone else.

the belt are highly gra tifying. and we
believe that this will be the most sue
cessful campaign ever undertaken in
the South. it being backed by farm
ers; merchants bankers-in fact,

The landlord question is one that
has been brought to the attention OF
the committee Joseph L. Keitt OF
Newbe4ry has reported that IN one
school district most of the land is
owned by large land owners and they
refuse to reduce rent upon the re-
duction of acreage and tenants will
not sign pledges unless this is done.
Mr.. Wannamaker has replied that
landlords should be patriotic enough
to take part Of their pay in grain. as
was done by many landlords in 1915,
