EXPECT GOOD ROADS
Want to Know Where Candidates
Stand on Road Question-In-
vited to Express Their Views
At Meeting This Month

The following communication was
received this morning from Z. G,
Neschine of Lowndesville with the
request that we publish same:
Editor The Press and Banner
1t is not the privilege of many to
1--we on a thoroughfare and the ma
jority of the farmers o. Abbeville
County land they are the majority
of its citizens) are dependent almost
exclusively on their country roads
for their travel and their transporta-
ton.
These country roads with their
steep hillsides are, as every one
knows, an eye sore and a disgrace to
our county; most of them are the re-
suit of Indian time engineering.
All our county roads, with very
few exceptions, should be. therefore,
resurveyed and regarded as far as
possible on a level. The whole Able
Vile county is interested in this work
and nobody would begrudge its ex-
pense.
Of course our country must have
good roads, viz: between Washing
ton, the seat of the federal govern
ment and the capitals of the severa
states of the union; and between the
capitals of the states and their cour-
ty seats.
But the building OF the county
roads should have the priority. If
the present scheme of building the
main roads first followed exclu-
sively, this will be the starting of
the building of our system of roads
by the roof instead of by che foun-
dation, in which instance the farmers
of Abbeville county may, as we'll pre-
pare themselves to see the improve
ment of the county roads only in a
problematic millennium, meantim
paying for many years to come,
heavy taxes for the exclusive benefi
of favored and privileged ones.
Those of our citizens who are seek
ing to become our officers for the
next two years are, therefore, invit
ed to make this county roads resur-
veying and regarding an issue in the
present campaign and to presen
their views on the subject at their
at Lowndesville.
This is not a personal request, bu
the request of many of us who are
greatly interested in. the matter.

SPEAKS ON
POLISH TROUBLE
Declares For Independence OF
Poles and Will Have No Dealings
With Bolsheviki Now in Power
In Russia

erican government declared today
for the maintenance of the political
independence and territorial inte-
grityof Poland and against any
dismemberment of Russia.
In a note addressed to the Italian
ambassador, Secretary Colby,
speaking with the approval and con-
sent of President Wilson said, the
United States took "no exception"
to the efforts to arrange an armis
tice between Poland and Russi
and would "regard with satisfac-
ton" a declaration by the allied
and associated powers that the
territorial integrity and true
boundaries" of Russia would be
respected.
| The government flatly stated,
however, that it would not "at least
for the present" participate in any
plan for the expansion of the arni-
stice negotiations into general
European conference because in all
probability it would involve two re-
suits from which the United States
strongly recoils."
"The recognition of the Bolshe-
visit regime.
"a settlement of Russian prob
lens almost inevitably upon the
basis of a dismemberment of Rus
sia.
No Details Given
The American note did not go in
to details as to the available
means" which might be employed in
protecting the independence of Po-
land, and there was no information
las to the views of the United States
government on the blockade and
economic measures decided upon, at
|Hythe. Likewise there was only an
implied response to Poland's re-
quest for a declaration of the
moral support of the United States
n the fight against the Soviet.
In declaring the complete SYM
pathy of the United States with the
Russian people, Mr.. Colby in his
note denounced the Soviet leaders.
His language was compared with
hat contained in the proposal OF
he then Secretary Lansing to the
nations of the world two years ago
that the Russian Bolsheviki be de-
clarsd international outlaws.
"We can not" Mr.. Colby said,
recognize, or hold official relations
with, or give friendly reception to
the agents of a government which is
determined to conspire against our
institutions, whose diplomats will
be agitators of dangerous revolt,
whose spokesmen say that they sign
agreements with no intention of
-ikeeping them."
:. Mr.. Colby made it clear that the
'Irefusal of the United States to
recognize the present rulers of
Russia had nothing to do with any
particular political structure which
the Russian people themselves
might see fit to embrace. He de-
) clared that it rested upon an entire
ly different set of facts which had
convinced the United States against
Its will that the Soviet was based

Of WAR AND GENERAL FEEL
ING PREVAILS IN GREAT BRI-
TAIN THAT THERE ARE NO
SOLDIERS TO SEND TO FIGHT
BOLSHEVIkI-FRENCH r. R.
WORKERS WOULD STRIKE
RATHER THAN HAUL TROOPS

London, Aug. 11.-Great Britain
has been given a few very anxious
days as result of the Polish situa-
ton. Nobody in this country wants
to embark in another war. Not only
has England no soldiers to send,
but the whole community is tired Of
war and overburdened with taxa
ton.
Results of the Hythe conference
are considered as compromise be-
tween the British and French, as all
the decisions reached at recent con-
ferences have. been. Sundays pro-
ceedings were proclaimed by the
French to be victory for the policy
Of Premier Millerand, but yester-
days seems to have been a success
for Premier Lloyd George.
The British premier apparently
had two policies for dealing with
the present situation. One is to ar
range terms with the Bolsheviki Of
Russia and the other is to help Ger
many get on her feet, both policies
antagonistic to what appears to be
the French view. France wants the
allies to support Poland by all pos
sible means and suspicion Of any
assistance to Germany seems to. be-
apparent, as French newspapers
have recently been outspoken in op-
position to Che policy of Mr.. Lloyd
George. The third important mem.
Der of the alliance, Italy, was mol
represented at Hythe, but it is al
serted she-is in entire accord with
Mr.. Lloyd George and has opened,
diplomatic relations with Soviet
Russia, although her allies have re.
fused to take similar step.
French Would Strike
Paris, Aug. 11.-Railroad men
throughout France will strike if
called up to transport troops to Po-
land, according to resolutions
adopted at meeting here tonight.
Reports of disagreements between
French officers and Poland and the
Polish general staff has caused the
French public to take an unfavor-
iable view of the situation. There is
deep feeling against military inter-
vention, and such step would be
very unpopular.
France" said General Mirbel to
che Associated Press today, must
be defended on, the line Of the
Rhine if Bolshevism threatens"
