AS ROOSEVELT SAW KAISER

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's i'm
pressions of the former Kaiser and
the German Court are set forth in the
eventh installment of his letters ap-
pearing in the March issue of Scrib-
iner's Magazine. The letters relate
that the Germans showed him every
proper respect, but "were decorously
enthusiastic, and that was ALL" in
contrast with his reception in other
countries. In part, he wrote:
"The Germans did not like me, and
did not like my country; and under
the circumstances they behaved en-
tirely correctly, showing me every
civility and making no pretense of an
enthusiasm which was not present.
The upper classes, stiff, domineering,
formal, with the organized army, the
organized bureaucracy, the organized
industry of their great, highly civili-
zed and admirably administered
country behind them, regarded A
merica with dislike which was all
the greater because they could not
make it merely contempt.
s"They felt that we were entirely
unorganized, that we had no business
ito be formidable rivals at all in view
of our loose democratic government
methods, and that it was exasperating
to feel that our great territory, great
natural resources, and strength of in

UPEOLDS INCOME TAXES

Washington, March Right OF
he States to impose income taxes on
nonresidents provided they are III
harmony with those imposed on resi-
dents was upheld and defined today
by the Supreme Court in two decis-
ions.
In case from Oklahoma the court
held that State unquestionably has
authority to levy income taxes
against non-residents on income de-
rived from property within the State.
in New York case, however, the
court declared that such taxes
against non-residents must not be dis
:criminatory.
The Oklahoma law was sustained
and the New York law was declared
void in so far as it denies to non-res-
idents exemptions which are given to
New York citizens. Both opinions
were given by Justice Pitney, with
Justice McReynolds dissenting in the
New York case. In both suits were in
volved the exemptions similar to the
federal income tax law, provided for
and single persons.
Distinction between the Oklahoma
and New York laws, it appears, was
that the Oklahoma law given nom
residents and citizens the same eX-
while the New York law de-
nies to non-residents exemptions
granted it's own citizens.

BABY IS LEFT AT DOOR
OF ANDERSON HOME

Anderson, March 1.-(SpeciaD.-
A bright baby boy about four weeks
old was LETT on the front porch OF
Mr.. Wilkes Williamson, who lives
about a half mile from Prospect
church in Centerville township, on
Saturday night.
Mr. Williamson's house is quite
near the road, and about 10 o'clock
Saturday night he heard a buggy
stop in front of his house, and after
q few minutes he went to window
TO see who i was, or what was
wanted. He saw a man walking away
from the house, and get into the
buggy and drive off. He did not re-
cognize the man. Presently he heard
q baby's cries on the front porch,
and upon going to the door found
boy baby, well clad, in a basket,
with bottle of milk, and extra cloth
ing.
Mr.. and Mrs Williamson have a
number of children of their own, but
have decided to keep the child and
raise it, unless it should be claim
ed.
Mr.. Williamson lives OH the road
between Prospect church and Cen
terville, a road that is not travelled
great deal, and the parties who left
the child there evidently knew Mr..
Williamson.

aspects of things, neglecting the true
and permanent meaning behind them.
This is how and why, he says, Ger
mans lost not only their morality
but even their originality, although
they perfected external organization.
The forfeiture Of spiritual values
avenged itself in this way: In their
chase for the purely external Ger
mans ultimately fell short even of
the standards they had set for them
selves; in their insane striving after
efficiency for it's own sake efficiency
itself diminished. And the condition
that caused defeat survives it, Count
Keyserling says. Unless Germany
makes a supreme effort to change
her entire mentality spiritual sui,
eide will be the lot of the German
race.
This German philosopher has the
courage to point to the example o1
,Anglo-Saxondom. He declares tina
the>sense of responsibility, which il
action expresses itself as initiative, il
Enthusiastically an Anglo-Saxor
trait; it is the foundation and alst

ling does not say it in as man!
words, but the inference is obvious
that whatever is the enemy of tht
individual sense of responsibility, b.
it kaiserdom or sovietdom, is actual
tly the bane of all true human de-
,velopment, external and spiritual.

A GERMAN TO THE GERMANS

Count Hermann Keyserling, in an
address delivered recently in the
University of Berlin, shows that some
Germans are recovering sanity. His
lecture, or rather sermon, is perhaps
the severest indictment of the Prus-
sian system that has emanated so fa1
from a German. He refrains from
condemning individual instances of
German guilt relating to the origin
and conduct of the war, but he goes
much deeper by attacking the intel
lectual and ethical foundations of the
whole system of which those crimes
constituted merely the outward
symptoms.
He charges in effect that modern
Germany turned traitor to that
which is the best in the German
spiritual heritage and became more
and more absorbed in the external

Newport News, Va, March 1.-THE
superdreadnaught Maryland will be
launched here March 20. She is the
largest ship yet constructed for the
navy being 600 feet long. 81 feet broad
and having a displacement of $4,000
tons. Her main battery will be COM
posed of eight 16-inch rifles, the heav'

GOOD ROADS.


to the fact that the tax levy in Nc
Cormick County was nearly thirty
mills. Mccormick County it will be
remembered has a bonded indebted
ness of one hundred and seventy
five thousand dollars, the bonds hav'
ing been issued for the Improvement
of the highways of the county. This
accounts for the high tax levy.
Some further idea of the cost OF
these so-called good roads may be
had from the tax levy in Greenville
County the present year. The Pied
mont states that the levy in that
county for county purposes only will
amount to fifteen mills. With state
levy of twelve mills, and the conssi-
tuional three mills tax for schools,
and the additional special taxes for
schools, the levy in many school dis
tricts of Greenville County for all
purposes will be in the heighborhood
of forty mills which sounds like the
way we pay taxes in the cities where
we have all modern conveniences.
{ In Anderson County the levy for
county purposes is stated to be thir-
teen and one-half mills, only little
less than the levy in Greenville Coun-
9ty. This levy includes four mills for
the payment of interest on the bonds
issued for the building of the good
roads, in that county. When the
. county begins to work the roads
every two months, and to replace the
top soil which the John Henry Fords
blow away with their cut-outs, the
levy will be no more.
Nobody expects the county authori.
ties in any county to build and keep
up roads without paying '1r them.
But it is just as we'll, as we go along,
to consider what we are expected to
pay for the benefits to be received,
as we'll as what is necessary to keep
these roads up.
Time will demonstrate that the
top soil road in this section of the
state, at least, is more expensive in
the long run than the building of real
first class roads, such as are being
built in other states. That county will
profit most in the good roads busi-
ness which realizes from the start
that the top soil roads will only give
satisfactory service to the public
when they are worked every day in
the year. If roads of this kind are to
be built the Act which provides for
building them should also provide for
dividing the roads into sections, and
for keeping force of workmen on
every section at all times, just as the
railroads employ forces for the
different sections. In no other wayi
will the roads be kept in proper
shape. Unless this is done the money
spent for the building of the roads
will be wasted.
II we are to build roads at all.
other than the roads we now have,
we re-assert that we should build
paved roads, such as those now being
built in the city of Abbeville and in
other cities and towns. 1t will be a
waste of time and money to attempt
the building and up-keep of anv
other kind of roads.

NECESSITY FOR FARMERS.
One Public Dollar for Agricultural
Industry; S155 for Others.

The necessity for farmers, and
rural communities in general, to
organize for equal representation in
government with the cities and city
industries, is most aptly told by SEN
ator Capper in a few words of re-
cent speech made in the United
States Senate. He said:
"One-third of the population of
tic United States is engaged in agri-
culture and more than one-quarter
of the national wealth is invested in
farm enterprises. The financial needs
of the government for the next fiscai
year may exceed five billion dollars.
Tie agricultural bill calls for thirty
two million dollars, which means
that out of every s1J9 of the public
funds 81 will be spent on the ma
tion's most vital industry"
Think of it-one paltry dollar Cor
the vital industry in which a quarter
CT nations wealth is invested, and
$155 for the other three-quarters OF
public affairs.
The injustice-the CRIMINAL.
FOLLY Of it on the part Of nation
is obvious at a glance. 1t is plain
that the captains off industry. the
country over have so extend
ed their own influence as to absolute
ly rule the government. The rural
town merchant and the business man
of the farm have been too busy pro-
ducing the country's needs, to pay
much attention to the fact that they
have been themselves retreating
farther into the background.
1t is time for the farmer, the rural
merchant, the country editor, the
agricultural college graduate to
force themselves into the councils OF
the nation--not SO particularly for
the advantage of the rdral COM
and farm business, as for the
sake of the nation itself.
Think about 1t.
