Mr.. Kneece Believes That Senator
Ridgell's Plan Should Prove Bene-
ficiaf-Some Good Ideas Advanced

Editor, Lexington Dispatch-News:
Noting your request for citizens OF
Lexington County interested in the
building and upkeep Of our roads 70
briefly comment upon Senator RID
CELLS proposed law, which II .passeo
would somewhat change our present
system of building and maintaining
the public highways of our county, L
personally know that Senator Rldgeli
has given this subject much time and
thought and travelled over the roads a
great deal since the heavy rains of this
season. Since all Of the county suf-
fered from these rains the senator is
convinced that our present system of
building roads is too slow to meet the
present needs now demanded. In this
we are compelled to agree with him.
7 am not sufficiently familiar with
our present law or with our county
government, generally, to suggest i'm
provements. I, however, agree with
the Senator in some Of his suggested
changes; namely, where the law will
require, each section or division to re-
ceive the same amount Of time to be
applied by construction crew or chain
gang. This is not the case at present.
Also endorse the proposed law where
the contractor shall be required to per-
sonally visit each road and work some
as early as possible after each rain.
The contractors we have now on
some OF our roads allow a clay worked
road 20 go 10 in because of their
failure to keep the holes filled and
an important road will remain impas-
sable for days because of one mud
hole somewhere on the road. The old
system OF an overseer for each section

the Senator will have to devise some
plan whereby he can double the
amount Of money to be raised. U.s.

FIVE BOY SAVES
BROTHER FROM DROWNING

Little T. ]. McAcy, jr., 5years old,
and his brother Louis, years old,
sons of T. J. McAcy, foreman of The
Leader composing room, were playing
along the walk around Spring bayou
Saturday afternoon, when, in some
way or other little Louis fell into the
bayou where the water was deep. The
little fellow sank beneath the water
and as he came to the surface T. j.
made a reach for him and succeeded
in getting the little fellows hat only.
Louis sank the second time and T. j.,
like a true American, was quickly
making plans for the rescue of his
brother when he appeared on the sur
face for the second time. T. J. went
after him and succeeded in landing
him safe on the walk, somewhat ex-
hausted but still in the land of the
living. After some manipulation he
had his brother in condition to move
and soon conveyed him to his home
where attention from the parents
soon brought Louis back to a normal
condition.
When questioned about his expert
ence, Louis said that the water got
up into his nose and ran around
through his head to the back of his
neck. 1t was altogether a fortunate
experience for the little fellows as
we'll as for the parents. The stuff of
which this little boy is made is the
same that put down kaiserism, the
same that has made the United States
the greatest nation on the earth. 1t
is the kind that is always cool, col.
lected and determined when occasion
requires.

and if you have ever had any
form of these skin disorders,
you know what real torture is.
Follow the teachings of
science, and you will learn that
the skin is fed by the blood, and
naturally, then, the condition of
your skin will depend upon the
condition of your blood. If the
blood becomes infested with mil

attack the skin, then the fiery
irritation and intense itching will
remain with you until these
germs are attacked at their
source and removed from the
blood.
Genuine relief, therefore, can

cause. Such a remedy is S. S. S.,
the reliable old blood purifier

and sends a new supply of rich

S. S. S. has been used sue

RESERVATIONS IN SENATE
INTERPRETATIONS cf Peace Pact Will
he Reported by Committee
Today

The program of reservations on
tho peace treaty was finally agreed
upn by the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee yesterday. Senator
Lodge will report the ratifyln;; res
olution containing the reservations
to the Senate today.
The committee adopted one new
reservation, which was proposed by
Senator Shields, Democrat. of Ten
nessee. authorizing Chairman Lodge
to draft another, which was pro-
posed by Senator Reed. Democrat,
of Missouri. and combined No. N
with -, w.. as agreed upon Ecster-
with No. W., as agreed upon yes
terday.
Thus the committee reservations
will number fourteen. Some mem
bcrs of the committee found an ell
ement of humor in the fact that
the number of reservations Is the
same as President Wilson'S famous
fourteen points.
The Republican leaders assert they
have the votes necessary to PIT all
the fourteen reservations through
and max them binding upon the
other powers before America, ac-
aceptancc Of the treaty becomes an
actualitE.
All doEht as to the possibility of
putting through the ''preamb'c' of
the reservations. which requires ac-
ceptanco of tho reservations by at
least three Of the other powers, was
ended when Senator Lodge anaoun-
ced after the committee meeting
that he can count upon the votes Of
six Democratic Senators and will
not lose more than two votes among
the Republicans. Senators Nc
Cumber Of North Dakota, and Nell
son. of Minnesota. it is understood,
will vote against bhe preamble. The
six Democratic votes, however, will
give net total for the preamble OF
