THE BOND MONEY

The money for the Abbeville
County good road bond issue is
available and work On the roads will
in all probability commence at q
very early date. ~
The First National Bank Of Gin
cinnati has sent to its correspondent
bank in New York, the sum of $459,
700 which amount is being sent to
county treasurer, J. E. Jones, who
will deposit it in all the banks of the
county in sums proportionate to this
capital stock and surplus. This
money will be deposited by the trea-
surer to the credit of the Highway
Commission on whose warrants it
will be paid out.
The total amount of 80, 700
represents s45o,OOO, the par value
of the bonds and premium of $3.50
in addition to accured interest of
$9,350. y
Just how soon actual work will
commence cannot be definitely
stated, but it will certainly COM
mence in the very near future.
! Mr.. Toole, government engineer,
has been here and inspected the road
from Honea Path to Abbeville via
Due West and Donalds,' and very
likely this will be the first road to
be taken up. The road from here to
the Anderson County line via of
Antreville will also receive immedi-
ate attention. The commissioners
expect very little trouble in the
granting Of the right-away. It is
thought little, if any, condemnation
proceeding will be necessary.

in the selection of officers who serve
the state at large.
The primary system has been re-
sponsible for enough wrong, inetici-
emily, bad feeling and general de-
moralization in this. state. 1t is time
to 20 back to the old ways thought
out by the founders of the govern
ment who had no such selfish ends to
serve Jas the modern statesmen. I'm
til we do we will continue to elect
men like Newberry, by the methods
by which he secured office, and we
will continue to have money spent in
South Carolina for the procuring OF
political preferment. We will con-
t'nue to elect inefficient men, and
men who do not in fact reresent the
intelligence and the best thought OF
the state-not all Of them will be
men Of this kind perhaps-but the
batting averaged to good men vii
be low. We would like to see mer
who stand for principles, rather thar
men who know how to tickle the
populace, in public office in this state
The primary will continue to be
the fertile field for the demagogue
and the corrupt politician. 81.

Viscount Kaneko. who presided at

sador: on Wednesday night, declared
golden opportunity for Japan to clear
away MISUNDERSTANDING. and to state
frankly and straishtforwardly her ma
tional aims and aspirations. He de-
clared that the late Emperor Mutsuhito
kept on a manteIpiece in his study the
original Of letter which George Wash
ipgton wrote to Gov. Huntington Of Con-
necticut on Thanksgiving day, 1889.
and In which Washington discussed the
Japan mystery" After presenting a
Photographic copy of the letter to the
ambassador, Viseount Kaneke said:
"The United States ia the most pow
erful republic of the west. while Japan
IL the greatest constitutional monarchy
Of the east. They are the wonders OF
the world, and hold in their hands the
destiny Of the Pacific and the Far East.
In pursuance to the esteem held by the
late emperor for George Washington.
let us hope the United States and Japan
may place themselves far above the
blame Of this struggling world, wnere
neither the blackening clouds Of cannon
smoke nor the sickening smell Of human
blood can disturb the tranquility OF the
friendship between the two nations. and
there consecrate In one voice the names
Of Washington and Mutsuhito."

SCHOOL BUILDING
PROGRAM PUSHED

While the District Commissioners
have made no official reply to the
charge that they have wasted time in
carrying out the school building pro-
gram, authorized by Congress few
months ago. it is known that they
believe they have done all in their
power to rush work on the much
needed school structures.
Attention was called to the fact
today that when. within a few weeks
after the appropriations were avail
able, the Commissioners employed
nine outside architectural firms to
draw plans for the bulk of the build
ing program they were criticised by
members of Congress for having done
SO.
AS q result Of having sought out
side aid. plans for one of the new
schools have been completed and ap-
proved and the designs of four 9TH
ers will be ready for contractors to
bid on within month. This will
permit the beginning of work on five
Of the ten new buildings before the
end of this year.
Failed to Provide Fully.
In authorizing this latest building
program Of $1,544,000 Congress did
not provide for a single additional
employe in the municipal architect S
Office, nor was the lump sum for the
operation OF that office increased.
Consequently, IL the city heads had
not employed private architects, the
municipal architect with his present
small force would have been swamped
by the task.
There is another advantage which
the Commissioners expect to gain by
having a number of firms working on
different buildings simultaneously
This will enable the city heads to per-
nit contractors to submit one bid
for a group of buildings. which will
they believe. reduce substantially the
cost of construction. Large contrac-
obtain the contract for one school, will,
the Commissioners believe, bid on a
number of buildings collectively.
Acted for Economy.
With President Harding and Con.
gress calling upon all government,
agencies to economiZe in every way
possible, the District Commissioner
believe they have acted in the inter.
est of speed and economy. In giving
outside architects the job of planning
! the new grade schools. the Commits
sioners retained for the municipal ar.
chitect the task of designing the two
| new junior high schools and the new
| tuberculosis school.

The Senate. therefore, proceeded with
the consideration of the tax-revision
bill.
Early Ratification.
Republican leaders look for Senate
ratification OF the peace treaties with
Germany, Austria and Hungary about
the middle of this month, as the re-
suit Of an agreement to begin limita-
tion OF debate on October IA. Be-
ginning on that day senators will be
limited to one hour in debate and
consideration Of reservations will be
restricted to ten minutes.
The program was arranged under a
unanimous consent agreement adopt
ed late yesterday after leaders In
charge OF the antfbeer bill had eX-
pressed confidence that this measure
would not be sidetracked as a result.
Consideration Of the tax revision bill
Is expected to be deferred some time
next week in order to give oppor-
tunity for debate of the treaties. I'm
der such an arrangement it is ex-
pected that night sessions will be
unnecessary to expedite treaty action.
The voting agreement was held up
temporarily and almost rejected by
managers OF the anti-beer bill, who,
fearing this measure might be side
tracked, forced Senator Lodge to de-

ponents Of the anti-beer bill were not
to be bound by Mr.. Sterling's under
