ROAD CONDITIONS
 FROM ARIZONA LINE
 TOCOAST, :, BY REPORT

The following summary of road con- ditions between the Arizona border and Los Angeles, adapted from the report of the Auto club of Southern California, was issued yesterday by the Phoenix chamber of commerce.
 B.ytae to te
 Distance 94 miles Owing to tbe re cent rains wkial q q the and settle the dust Ge e1-t 10 in good condition and cars iing het travel. It is a good seven hours drive from Blythe to Mecca for the average car. In general the country is level practically all the way. with no exceS- sive~grades. One canyon is encountered 12 miles east of Mecca, this is quite steep and sandy. While it is true that the whole. road in general is slow. sandy in places and rough. it can be desert nature of the country through which it passes. At present there are three wells where water can be had.
 Blythe s.. GIamis
 From Blythe to the Palo Verde val ley the road is excellent. From the Palo Verde valley to Glamis the coun- try is rolling and hilly and desert in nature. With the exception of one rocky canyon four miles long, the road is very good. The road is wind ing, following in a great part on the summit of the hills and ridges, avd no steep grades. An occasional cross ditch prohibits speeding. There is good duck hunting SS miles from Glamis. There are two places where gas and oil can be had.
 GIamis to Fl Centro
 The entire road from GlaEsis to Mi land is bad, passable but very slow. It is sandy. rough, winding and shucky, and for miles runs against the grain of many large washes. However, it has one redeeming feature, it is safe it daily, and tSe southern Pacific railroad is closely followed, so that it is possible for motorists in distress to secure aid. Every one driving this road should carry ample water and supplies.
 The road from Niland to Fl Centro is considered good.
 The distance. from Fl Centro to Blythe. via Niland and Glamis is 123 miles.
 Mecca to Los Angeles
 Dis.1nce 152 miles. From Mecca to Coachella there is only 6 miles of good road, the balance being rough, sandy ss.d slow. but passable. From Coachella to Palm Springs the road is part oiled and part dirt road. but good. From Palm Springs to Banning, there is miles of pavement. the balance be- ing a dirt road. From Banning to Riverside there is some paved road be- tween Banning and Beaumont, from Beaumont to Riverside good dirt road, and a good grade over Moreno grade. on which use skid chains as it is slippery. The road paved from Riverside into Los Angeles.

After due consideration of the va
rious bids submitted for the purpose OF
the $4,000 bond issue offered by the
town for paving purposes, the city

Ladies' Aid society of the A. R. p. church
on Friday night. There were about 200

cited. The net proceeds amounted to
about S55.
The York Automobile associations

The Chester county highway COM
mission is undertaking to construct
top soil highway from Chester to the
York county line at Lewis Turnout by
contract.
The Lancaster and Chester railroad
is to restore the double daily passenger
schedule that was in effect previous to
the freshet Of July, 1916. The sched-
ule is to go into effect next Thursday
two trains day each way.
Reports have been received of in
jury to the cotton crop as the result of
the cool weather last week. In many
instances where cotton had come to a
good stand and was growing off nicely,
the cold injuriousy affected the plant
at the roots and much cotton was kill
ed outright
News and other matter has been
crowded out Of today's issue of The
Enquirer by advertisements which
came In after IL was too late to put In
extra pages and which simply had to
be accommodated. 1t Is an unSatisfac-
tory situation for the publishers, but
they simply have not been able to
help themselves. 1t is the present In
tention to make good In part by Civ
ing extra matter in the next paper, and
the publishers are negotiating for
larger and faster press, which after its
installation will, for many years to
come be a safeguard against a recur-
renee of the present situation. There
Is no reasonable hope, however, that
the larger press can be installed for
several months yet

pany aggregated ss4,51O for the whole
Job, and the bid Of the Gulf Paving
company aggregated $s1,495. The en-
gineers gave back the good faith
checks Of all the other bidders; but
held back the checks Of these two until
today, when final decision will be ar
rived at.
The principal point Of difference be-
tween the lowest bidders was the ele-
ment of time, the Ely Construction
company promising to complete the
Job in 40 days for each 10000 Of the
approximately 10000 square yards of
paving, and the Gulf Paving company
requiring seven months for the whole
job.
All the contractors were agreed that
the Job promises to be very tract
i've one for the eason that there was
a minimum amount Of excavation work
to be done, and also several OF them
said that the price was slightly lower
than had been secured on any other
paving job given out this year,
In addition to the nine bidders who
competed for the contract in whole or
in part, there were also here some
thirty or more smaller contractors who
were looking after the items OF fur-
nishing concrete, lime, cement. crush
ed stone and various other items that
enter into the work.

HERE AND THERE

John r. Blair, county demonstration
agent, told Here and There. Friday
that he was down about Cornwell
Chester county, few days ago. He
had been hearing stories of what small
farmers in that vicinity are doing with
thoroughbred Guernsey cattle and how
well they are pleased with them. He
said he visited a Mr.. McKeown. along
with the others. Mr.. McKeown Is
small farmer, having only few head,
but he is an enthusiastic booster for
thoroughbred cattle. He told Mr.. Blair
that sometime ago he had fine Guern-
sey COW. She was about five years old
and having several of her offsprings
he decided to sell her and valued the
animal at $3.50. A Tennesseean came
along and asked him if he had any
cows he could SELL Yes, ! have one,
said Mr.. McKeown. The visitor asked
the price and was told that 1t would
take $3.50 to buy the COW. The Ten
nesseean was an experienced trader Ind
offered 1925. The cow was sold and
the check passed. Then the visitor
said: well, sir, you certainly have
q nice COW here, but you don't know
what you have got. If you had said
$3.50, would have given you that rs
quick as I did 1925. l am going to take
that COW back to Tennessee and I'll get
not less than 1915 to s400 for her.

BAGGING THE STILLS

Six whisky distilleries were captured
in York county during the week end
ing last Saturday. two in Ebenezer
township and four in Broad River
township, and six men, all colored but
one, were arrested in connection with
the various outfits.
Magistrate Glenn and constable
worked up the Ebenezer cases, and
Constable johnson gave his assistance,
and Magistrate r. L. A. Smith had the
lead in the Broad River cases. and the
sheriff's office had more or less to DO
with all of the cases.
The sheriff estimates that there are
probably a hundred of these outfits In
operation in different parts or the
county. A large per cent of the opera.
tiyes are negroes; but good many OF
them are white. The output generally
is of an inferior quality of low VINE
for which an old time moonshlner
would have scorned to be responsible.
Indeed it lacks a great deal OF COM
ing up to what the moonshiner desig-
mated as "singlings."
Although this stuff, which sells at
SIS or $40 a gallon, is probably being
made to a greater or less extent In eV-
cry part of the county, just at the
present time Broad River township is
believed by the authorities to have II
on all other sections in the number or
people engaged in the business.

Pitching its vote solely on a basis OF
it's opinion Of their respective qualifi-
cations of fitness and ability, The En-
quirer desires to endorse Hon. J. +.
Mcdonald Of Winnsboro. as the best
man for the Federal district judgeship
made vacant by the death OF Judge
Johnson. AS to whether Mr.. McDon-
aid is really an aspirant to the place
we do not know; but we have an idea
that even If he would like to have It,
he would do more along the line Of let
ting it come to him than going after 1t,
But anyhow he would make an ideal
successor for the most worthy man
who has recently been removed from
this high and honorable position by
death.

Something Of row has been stirred
up through a proposal Of the secretary
Of war to sell in Europe about $780,
100000 worth Of American meat,
bought from the packers for the use
of the army. This sale represents the
entire American production for period
of about two years. 1t is being charg-
ed that the sale was made abroad so
as to prevent disturbance Of the high
prices in America, and a congressional
is threatened. One Of the
excuses given by the packers for the
sale is that the meat was put up in
plain, unattractive packages that made
it unsuitable for the American market,
which is accustomed to pretty labels
and the like. The answering argument
is that millions OF Americans who
helped pay for this meat with their
taxes ought now to have the benefit OF
it at prices within the range Of their
ability to pay.

church at Due West, assisted Rev. w.
P. Grier with communion services at
Bethany last Sabbath. There was a

Pleased With Western Cattle.
Mr.. John R. Blair. York county
demonstration agent, says that Of 80
grade Shorthorn cattle brought to this
county from Texas last winter, only
one died. The cattle, which We're
quite wild when they first arrived, hav-
ing Just come from the range, have be-
come thoroughly acclimatized and
quite tame. In the bunch were two
bulls. The heifers had previously been
bred to Hereford bulls and eighteen OF
them have already dropped calves,
while most of the others are due TO
calve soon. Mr.. Blair says that all the
BUYERS OF the CdlIle are piCooSo WIN
their purchases and are anxious to get
more of the same kind. The expert
ment is generally considered to be
quite promising.
Charged With Murder.
Clarence Williams, negro. who liv-
ed in the vicinity Of Sharon, was COM
mitted to Jail last Wednesday on the
charge of murder, committed on the
previous Saturday night. The victim
was another negro, named Dave Nc
Connell. The killing grew out OF ami
mosities presumably connected with
domestic affairs; but the exact facts
have not been developed. Mcconnell
had formerly lived with Williams's
daughter; but broke off relations after
about a year, and when the daughter
took up with another negro. McCon-
NELL encouraged by the woman, began
to interfere Williams went after NC
Connell with a shotgun, found him at
the home Of another negro, and shot
him in the right side, Mcconnell dying
the following Wednesday. Williams
was arrested several days after the
shooting.

One Of the important incidents antic-
ipated in connection with the opening
Of congress yesterday was the presen-
tation of Victor L. Berger, Socialist, or
Wisconsin, for membership, and the
question Of what congress would do. 1t
will be remembered that Berger is un-
der conviction for violation Of the es-
pionage actor seditious utterances In
connection with the war, etc. He was
elected to congress after his conviction
His seating will be opposed on several
grounds, mainly because he is under
conviction, and both Republicans and
Democrats were expected to take the
position that he is Ineligible to men,
bership in congress until he has an
swered the law. But also it is fact
that the offense for which he was con-
victed was of a political nature, and
much consideration will have to be
given to the proposition that since he
was elected by his constituents in full
knowledge Of his status, to deny those
citizens their right Of choice will be
an exceedingly grave matter.

The time limit within which the
German plenipotsntiaries must sign
the peace terms, If they are going to
sign, expires next Thursday. The
treaty was given to the plenipotentia-
ries on Wednesday, May Z, and they
were allowed fifteen days in which to
make examinations and observations
A number Of protests have already
been submitted; but to these the Al
lies have paid no attention. There has
been talk in Germany in the newspa-
pers and among members of the gov
ernment to the effect that Germany
could not and would not sign the
treaty; but this talk is regarded main
ly as propaganda. The common bellef
in Paris is that the Germans will sign.
There is very little concern about the
matter, however, because in the event
the treaty is not signed the Allies pro-
pose to Immediately proceed 10 the oc-
cupation of the whole country.

There is bound to be more or less
reconstruction Of this country along
with the balance Of the world, as the
result of the war. Our own opinion
is that there is more or less need for
such reconstruction; but at the same
time we think that the harder each in
dividual works at productive industry
while the reconstruction is going on
the better he will fare.

The cotton conference in New Or
leans on last Friday expressed itself as
opposed to selling Germany another
pound of cotton until she signs the
peace treaty. That is very patriotic
resolution to say the least Of it; but
we fail to see where 1t was necessary
as this country is not likely to do bus
mess of any kind with Germany until
after peace has been agreed upon.
