SENTIMENT FOR GOOD
ROADS IS GROWING

The movement for million dollar
bond issue for good roads in this
county is meeting with instant sue
cess. The very people who opposed
the issue the last time that the mat
ter was agitated are fremost among
those who now favor the movement.
And it will be remembered that the
chief reason that the bond issue was
the fact this country was at war and
it was not thought propitious time
to build roads since the government
was asking for a conservation of raw
material.
The proponents of the movement
want the matter brought before the
next legislature and to this end con-
template plebiscite to ascertain the
sentiment of the voters of the coun-
ty. To do this straw vote will be
taken or petition will be circulated.
Another feature will be the hold
ing of public meetings throughout
the county at which the question may
be discussed by the farmers. 1t is
possible that the first of these meet
ings will be held at Lowndesville in
the near future. Another meeting
is proposed at Antreville.

R-34 LANDS SAFELY
UPON ENGLISH SOIL

Pulham, Norfolk, England, July 13
Great Britain's transatlantic air
pioneer, the dirigible R-34, arrived
here at 6:56 o'clock, Greenwich time,
today, completing her round trip
from the British Isles to the United
States and return.
The R-34 poked her nose out of
the clouds northeast of the village
and, after circling the flying field
three times, glided gently to the
ground, and ten minutes later was
housed in the dirigible shed. The voy-
age from Long Island was without
particular incident and was COM
pleted in approximately seventy-fve
hours.
Shouts from those on the field
greeted the first sight of the long
gray body low on the horizon. As the
R-34 approached the field she drop
ped from height Of 5000 to 1000
feet. The me who were to aid the
airship in landing were ordered to
their positions and waited silently as
the ship circled the field, dropping
lower and lower. -.

TWO 3-ToN vELIE - ;" 49,,
TRUCKS SECURED FOR
ABBEvILLE COUNTY

Supervisor W A.. Stevenson an
nounced Monday that he had secured
two 3-ton Velie Trucks from the
government for road work in this
county, The trucks will be shipped
this week. 49,.
The quota for this county from the
government for good roads is $780,
900. This sum must be matched dol
lar for dollar in the county before
the money is available. It is the usu-
al policy of the government not to
give trucks to any county for roads
until the money has been raised, but
owing to the efforts Of Mr.. Steven
son the rule was overlooked in the
case of this county.
This 100000 government aid can
be met either by funds from the
proposed bond issue or it can be
raised independently. For instance,
it can be raised by the freeholders
along any road in the county signing
petition to the effect that they
will stand good for the money if ex-
pnded along their particular road.
Or it can be raised generally in the
county for work to be done wherever
needed.

.MOONSHNE. STILL
IS FOUND IN CITY.
Captured Near Southern Depot BY
Chief of Police Johnson and OFF,
cor Melancholy, County and
United States Authorities
Will Press Charges.

A still of the 'kitchenette" variety
was captured Saturday morning by
Chief of Police Johnson and Officer
McLane in Emma Morris house on
Wilson street, near the Southern de-
pot. Will Turman, negro, better
known as "Bill Dooley", was owner
and operator and he was put under
arrest and fined 500 by Mayor Mars.
The county authorities have also Ia
ken the matter up and have issued
warrants which will be served as soon
as the city releises Turman. TAe
United States authorities will also
press charges Of, Illicit distilHng
against Turman. In other words, Il
promises to be many a day before
the negro gets away from the vari-
GUS tenacles of the law that have
reached out and secured him.
"Bill Dooley" talked freely Of his
moonshine career which he claims
was brief. He said, "boss, I hardly
done learned how to make dat stuff
befo I done got caught. jus made
70 runs an on,y moved my still to
dat niger woman's house just las
night. Befo dat ! done took my still
to de woods, but it was 80 uncona-
venent in de woods and q kitchen
Stove am jus de ting to run dem
little stills on" And speaking 70
Mayor Mars, he said: "Say, Boss,
can't / work out dat fine OBJ $100
dollars wild you? You knows am
de finest bricklayer and carpenter in
dis whole town and I sho knows you
got dat much work at 70 house"
The "slop" or "mash" that was
captured with the still would mako
81 aehungry hog. turn up his noses in
disgust. It seemed to be q con-
glomerate mixture Of many kinds Of
refuse badly decomposed. And fer
mentation had advanced to such q
stage that the city hall advertises to
high heavens the fact that It now
houses the still. In fact, like flies
the visitors flock to see the still.
The apparatus is crude in the ex-
teme. A lard can is used for the
boiler. A galvanized iron pipe, bent
in spirals probably round post, is
the worm, and the worm is placed in
slop bucket full of water, constant
ly changed for condensation. An
other condenser, of more modera
pattern, but crudely made, was also
captured with the outfit. This con.
sists Of two copper cylinders, one
placed in the other and soldered to-
gether, so as to form a cylindrical
chamber. A fish keg contains the
mash. The joints are partly solder
ed and partly closed with dough.
Evidently all the liquor made in
the still had been consumed as none
was stund when the still was cap
tured.

DEMOCRATS PRAISE;
G. o. p. cRlTlcIZEs

Washington, July 11.-Presdent
Wilson'S address to the Senate trans-
mitting the peace treaty today was
praised by Democratic leaders as one
Of his best State papers, but Repub-
lican Senators generally were IN
clined to criticize it: Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts,, the Republican
leader, made no comment, and Sem
ator Knox, Republican, Of Pennsyl-
vania, declined to comment. Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, one Of
the leading opponents in the Senate
Of the league of nations also deciin-
ed to comment except to say that
President Wilson "completely an
swered" his own argument that the
league Of nations is league 4 for
peace by his statement that it is
formed as an alliance Of war"
Senator Smoot, Republican, Of
Utah, characterized the address as
"another Wilsonian essay, but not
quite up to the standard"
Senator Harding, Republican, Of
Ohio, a member of the foreign rela-
tions committee, said the address was
the appeal of the internationalist
and utterly lacking in ringing Am
ericanism."
Senator Moses, Republican, Of
New Hampshire, declared the address
to be an appropriate description OF
the league Of nations as an interna-
tional "come on game and it appears
to me that any country that wished
to work the international badger
will find the league of nations the
sliding panel with which to operate. I"
'Tt was a fine, comprehensive pre-
sentation of the case," said Senator
Hitchcock, Democrat, Of Nebraska,
"It was a. dispassionate and convinc-
ing statement of the reasons that led
the representatives of 1,00O,O00,000
people to agree on reorganization Of
the world"
Senator McCumber, Republican, of
North Dakota, a supporter of the
league of nations, said the address
was "very impressive"
"The address," said Senator Swan
son, Democrat, of Virginia, "is mag
nifcent, able, eloquent and inspir-
ing. The reasons presented for the
ratification of the treaty, including
the league of nations, were strong,
cogent and unanswerable."
"I think" said Senator Williams,
Democrat, of Mississippi, "that the
breadth of vision, insight of humani-
traianism, in fundamental world
craftsmanship, and in delicacy of
dove tailed English it is the greatest
thing he has ever uttered. His words
are a fitting close to his magnificent
and unselfsh, and upon the whole,
effective work at Paris"
"I thought" said Senator Cham
berlain, Democrat, Of Oregon, "it
was a splendid address, covering the
subject concisely and in way that
will make it's way to the hearts Of
the American people,"
Senator Robinson, Democrat, of
Arkansas, asserted the address was
"a clear and forceful argument for
the ratification of the treaty"
Senator Poindexter, Republican,
of Washington, characterized the
speech as disappointing" and a.
Throwing no light whatever on the
very practical business Of the na-
ture, power and methed Of operation
of tho league Of nstions." ="

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Phelan of California, addressing the
Senate, declared the Peace Con-
ference action in the matter of new
small nations paves the way for
Irish independence. He urged that
the Irish question be not perritted
to become partisan issue; and he
said: "In conversation recently with
President DeValera of the Irish Re-
public he declared emphaically that
he trusted the holy cause to which
he had pledged his life and his honor,
would not be dragged into the mire
of Ameriran politics; but that the en-
tire American nation, with one ac-
claim, pursuant to its immemorial
principles, might declare for the

Mr.. Saxon related that shortly be-
fore nightfall he rode over to the line
fence and found it had been cut. He
rode about a bit, looking for the
perpetrator Of the deed, and sooD
perceived Mexican driving a couple
of fat cows toward the opening.
The man was at a distance of
several hundred yards, a range too
great for very accurate shooting
with a revolver, but Saxon let drive
at him. The thief abandoned the
cattle and hastened through the gap
in the fence. Saxon fired three
shots. After the man got beyond the
fence he dismounted from his horse,
whether hit, or to decrease the chance
of being hit, the shooter did not

A patrol of the 25th Infantry, a
corporal and seven men, near at hand,
hastened toward the firing, joining
Saxon within a very few minutes
and all proceeded to reconnoiter
When they reached the top of a
ridge above the scene of the incident,
three rifles opened fire upon them
from a place of concealment south of
the line. The soldiers returned the
shots, and several volleys were ex-
changed. The soldiers could not
see those firing at them, but they
heard the reports, saw the flash of
the rifles and heard the bullets
whistling about their ears. They
fired at the rifle flashes. Whether
they hit any of the others Mr.. Saxon
did not know. None of the soldiers
were hit. Saxon came to town and
reported the incident.
