GOOD ROADS.

Supervisor Keller is doing so much
and so good work on the public roads
that we hesitate to make sugges-
ton to him for fear that he may
think the work he has already done
and is doing is not appreciated. This
is not the case. But we are interested
in seeing the roads made as good as
possible, and we venture to suggest
that if the Supervisor could put the
"fying squadron" just behind the
scraper forces, to smooth the roads
after the scraper has done its work,
in a little while We would have as
good roads as anybody.

A DOG TALE

There are fish tales and other
kinds of tales, but what is so
rare as adog tale? Up Chester way,
it is said, there are reports of dog
tale what, is a tale. This dog, so the
friend of a friend Of the owner re-
ports, has, like the small boy,
mastered the technique Of the auto
mobile motor to such degree that
whenever his masters Essex drives
up the dog greets him hilariously. Or
if the aforesaid Essex is away from
home the dog sits on the curbing (if
they have curbing in Chester) and
when a car Of the same label passes,
whether it bears his master. or not:
sets out in pursuit, showing that this
remarkable log knows the hum of
the Essex motor.
This frierd of the friend of the
owner of this educated pup did not
say whether the canine also had
mastered the rattle of other motor
engines, but it is reasonable to sup
pose that so intelligent an animal
could not be so narrow as to confine
his perceptive powers only to the Es-
sex motor. 1t is probable that this
tale of dog could as we'll be extend
to the Identification of other cars, in
dicating, for example, the approach
of Franklin by holding up the right
front foot, a Dodge by raising the
right rear branch, and if Maxwell
should happen along he might wag
his tail in a pleased manner. Should
the princely Pierce-Arrow pass it is
reasonable to assume that this dog
would stand on his hind feet, with
head bowed, and proceed with the
business of salaaming. Or if, per-
chance, the lowly Ford should pass
his masters cottage, this hum
mometer probably sticks out his
tongue in token of derision and rolls
carelessly in the dust. This last
method of demonstrating his cyclo-
pedic knowledge is what makes
Bruno a dirty dog and makes this
a muddy dog tale.

THE KILLING OF A LAD

The State.
Some day or other the people OF
South Carolina will be aroused about
scandalous and criminal abuses Of
public highways and streets by mo-
torcar speeders.
The day will come when tragedies
Of the kind described in yesterdays
dispatch from Greenville will be
extraordinarily uncommon if not
impossible. Already it has been sug-
gested that mechanical governors
be p.aced on motorcars that will
limit their speed to rs miles an hour
or less, and when the moment ar
rives that the legislature concludes
that the life of child is of more
value than the pleasure of scorch-
ing, a statute of that description will
be enacted.
Traffic accidents will occur even
in the best of circumstances and
with completest enforcement of the
best laws. For speeding no excuses
can be offered. If a man step into
Main street and empty his pistol, it
may be proved that he is insane or
drunk. He is guilty Of criminal care
lessness and that is manslaughter, if
through it, he kill one. If man drive
reckless1fthrough Main street and
injure a. fellowman and, then con-
tinue on his way in the';effort to es-
cape arrest, the inference is that he
was neither insane nor drunk, and
was moved by wicked malice against
mankind.
The indifference to law and to the
rights of men is more widespread
at this time than it has been in many
long year. The people of South
Carolina are paying an enormous
price for it. Criminality is RAM
pant. An end will not be put to it
by leniency. It will 60 on so long as
/ juries are soft-hearted. It will multi
ply if punishments are not made to
fit the crimes. It would be encour-
aged by generous and loose exercise
C tire 13aclonins and committing
power.

has learned since reaching Columbia
that other schools have commenced
this very thing. He is so much inter-
ested in the matter that he writes the
editor to put him down for fifty dol
lars on subscription list looking to
the raising of the one thousand or
fifteen hundred dollars necessary to
get a man like this. The editor of the
Press and Banner subscribes one
hundred dollars for this purpose.
There are others who, we believe,
will be interested and the subscrip-
ton should be voluntary. Will the
men of Abbeville, and the ladies too,
come to the assistance of the super
intendent and of the schools, in get
ting a man of this kind? There are
enough men sending boys to the high
school now who should be interested
in the physical development of these
boys to raise the money. We hope
that they will speak right out in the
meeting.
We have been slow enough in Alb
beville. Let everybody think over this
proposition, and let US be alive in
school matters and in every other
matter. Perhaps the Chamber of
Commerce may be induced to lead in
the movement suggested. If not, some
other good citizen may be induced to
10 so. But let the work proceed.

ANOTHER LAWSUIT

Judge McComb is trying to keel
up with the hot weather and Thurs
day started another lawsuit. AS we
said before, it was not an action at
law, nor was it a bill in equity, but
an old-fashioned lawsuit just like
they used to have. The lawsuit
Tuesday was, as stated, concerning
of a mule. The lawsuit Thursday was
concerning of some chickens,
Savannah, a dusky looking lady
on the plantation of Mr.. George s.
Wilson, lost six fine hens, four OF
them red hens, one black game hen,
and one gray or blue hen. Later
this number of hens was found at
the home of Scott and Emma
Thomas and Savannah swore that
the hens which were in a coop were
hers. Her principal witness was
Marshall Gray. Marshall had passed
by the home of Savannah the night
the chickens were stolen and told her
he would "drap" back about II
o'clock. He declared that as he was
on the return trip and was passing
the hen-house somebody ran out with
sack full of chickens. 1t was sug-
gested to Marshall that the man he
saw might have been himself, but
Marshall didn't think so. He didn't
deal with chickens, he swore, had
never eaten one and didn't know
how it tasted. He didn't say but he
sought to make the impression that
if he saw a chicken he would run
from it, while plaintiffs attorney
seemed to think he might run after
it.
Savannah said she saw three OF
her chickens at Scott's house and she
knew one Of them was hers because
it had a top-knot, and another be-
cause it had ring around it's neck
and another because it was little
black hen and they all came to her
when she called them %. D." (Doc-
tor of Divinity, she thought this
stood for. She said she had heard
ether people call chickens and say
"P. p" and "she-she'' but nobody
said ID: D." in that country when
calling chickens except her own
proper person.
Scott and Emma had witnesses to
prove that they had bought chickens
resembling the ones in their posses
sion from other parties and that the
chickens were not Savannah's.
Scott also established through wit
nesses, an alibi for the date on
which the chickens were alleged, in
the warrant, to have been stolen,
but Savannah switched the night in
her testimony, and this caused con-
fusion.
The upshot of the whole matter
was that the jury found Emma not
guilty, but the jury was not agreed
as to Scott and therefore a verdict

Daniels Condemns Any
Disarmament of Many
G. O. P. Senators Favor Borah
Plan to Sound Japan and
Britain on Naval Cuts.

The question of world disarma-
ment was to be taken up by the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
today.
1t was understood the Republican
majority in control of the committee
regards with favor the Borah reso-
luton, which would have the Presi-
dent. take steps to "sound out" Great
Britain and Japan as to whether
they are willing to reduce their
armament if the United States takes
steps to cut the size of its army and
navy.
EXPECT FAVORABLE REPORT.
1t was expected the Borah resolu-
tion would be reported favorably to
the Senate by a majority of the com
mittee.
The committee was to meet in
executive session, and a conflict OF
opinion between its Republican and
Democratic members as to how the
powers may best undertake dis
armament was anticipated.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska and
others of the Democratic members
were prepared, IT was stated. to con-
tend the League of Nations offered
the best panacea for excessive arma-
ment.
A reopening OF the League contro-
versy is looked for when the Borah
resolution is reported to the Senate,
1t was added.

U. S. Fighting Ships Must Equal
Any Other Nations, Secre-
tary Insists.

81 am opposed to special naval
agreement for disarmament of any
sort; but, agreement or no agree
ment, the United States must have
a navy equal to any in the world"
This unequivocal statement was
made by Secretary Daniels today in
discussing The BSrah resolution
authorizing the President to advise
Great Britain and Japan that the
United States is ready to take up
the question of disarmament with
them.
SEE HOUSE OPPOSITION.
This resolution will come up in
the Senate and 1t is more than
probable that it will be passed by
that body. 1t is expected, how
ever, that the resolution will meet
obstacles that 1t cannot overcome in
the House.
Secretary Daniels continued:
mo alliance or agreement can
possibly be effective that does not
include every nation in the world.
Any other kind of an alliance would
merely awaken the suspicion of
every nation not included in IT,
ut would. therefore, not only de-
troy its usefulness and effectiveness.
but would create dissensions and
take us back to the very conditions
that brought about the recent war"
EMBASSY AsTONIsHED.
British embassy officials were
much astonished to read a report
In one New York paper that Great
Britain had informed United States
Senators that she was willing to
give up mastery of the seas and to
reduce the number OF her ships to
equal those OF the United states or
not to build until this country
caught up.
This is the first time we have
heard of any such proposition" said
Leslie II. Craigie. secretary OF the
embassy. "I do not care to comment
further than 20 say that IL Is an ex-
tremely unlikely story"
Secretary Daniels, to whom the re-
port was referred, said that no sug-
gcstion Of the kind had ever come to
his ears, and that he did not believe
any had been made.

ing to disarmament has come to the
state Department from Great
Britain" said a high official of that

AL JOLSON TO REWED
WIFE WHO DIVORCED

NEW YORK, Jan. SIS AL
Jolson, famous comedian, going to
remarry his former wife?
So gossip in theatrical circles
has it. 1t is said that the Winter
Garden comedian, whose run in
"Sinbad" at Philadelphia ended
yesterday, has been seen often in
the company of Mrs. Jolson, who
divorced him in July, 1919, and
that the couple will be remarked
within a few days.
Mrs. Jolson secured her divorce
on the plea that success, wine, wo-

l.. G. A. X. Martens, representative
OF the Soviet Russia in the United
States, today surrendered himself to
the Department of Labor for deporta-
ton, in accordance with the deporta-
ton order issued by Secretary of
Labor Wilson.
The surrender Of Martens was be-
hind closed doors.
Martens, accompanied by Carl Dur
and and Charles Recht, his counsel
appeared at the Department OF Labor
shortly after 10 o'clock, but was
forced to sit in an ante room for an
hour and a half before Secretary Will
son received him. In the meantime
the Soviet representative was besieged
by camera men and with smiling
acquicscnse he submitted to being
photographed.
Although forced to undergo curl
Gus gazes during his wait for Sec
retary Wilson, Martens appeared to
be entirely happy.
There is no feeling against the
American people in Russia" Mar
tens said just before he surrendered
himself. 81 feel certain that before
very long trade relations between
the United States and Russia will
be resumed.
