Better Roads.

! Among the thoughts that came into
the minds of many people during the
war, when America was raising bill
lions of dollars for the purpose Of up
holding llef; ideas of right, was what a
great thing if, in times past, when the
country was at peace the people: could
have been stirred to put forth similar
efforts in the building of system Of
first -class.. roads,, :, iE@r; +;
And there is something in this idea.
AS great and prosperous as is. this
splendid country today; Just think how
much greater and more prosperous 1t
would at once become If all its main
highways, should be laid with, concrete
or some other equally;suitable material,
instead of mud. While it might have
been somewhat different, say as far
back as twenty years ago, there are
few people now of reasonable intelli-
gence who are unable to appreciate
that good roads add to the general pro-
gress and prosperity as nothing else
can.
! Where formerly public hesitation
and doubt hinged principally around
the proposition Of putting UP the
money, now the principal subject Of
hesitation is the most serviceable and
most permanent method of construc-
ton. There is reason to believe that If
the people could be brought to agree
ment on the kind Of roads they should
build. to get the best returns for their
effort there would be less difficulty
about raising the necessary money.
But; perhaps after all the raising of
the money for national system Of
roads is not going to be so difficult as
might have.been generally feared. The
common expectation that all those bill
lions that America loaned the Allies
are to be paid back and it is accepted
as matter Of course that in such
event the payment will be applied to
uses other than: liquidating the loans
by which it was raised.
Governments do notcgenerally refund
money to the people, once it has been
collected and if this money comes
back if it is not used for one thing it
will be used for another.
What better use can be made Of this
money than in the building Of a sys-
tenn of national highways that will far
excel anything of the kind that any
other part of the world has ever
known? Such disposition would un-
doubtedly be the very best that could
be made Of it.

all that makes for the upbuildinG OF
the industrial, commercial, educational
and general civic welfare Of the COM
rnunity Of which he has so long been
a factor. He built the Blacksburg
graded school building. he helped pave
the Streets he helped establish various
industrial enterprises and he helped
build the churches. He has done more
for his town than any other one man
in it, and although always keenly loyal
to his party, he has nevertheless re-
tanned the fullest respect Of his op-
ponents. ;; There is no question of his
eminent fitness for this position OF
United States Marshal, if he should be
appointed to it, and about the only
reasonable objection that could be Of
fered to his appointment is the fact
that he is a Republican, and with
large. element Of South Carolina Demo-
Gratis nowadays, this is not so much OF
an. objection as it once was.

It is stated on what looks like au-
thority that Lenine has, for the present
at least given up his hopes of an en-
clusiyely soviet world, and is now seek
ing to establish trade relations with
capitalistic countries. 1t is not to be
understood that Russia has yet given
up hel socialistic theories, or that she
intends to. Lenine has explained that
he is. convinced that pure socialism Is
not practicable for the present for the
reason that Russia needs much expert
skill from the outside world and for
eign capital to develop resources that
cannot be developed in any other way.
To secure these essentials, he has
agreed to cease propaganda work, and
his colleagues have agreed with him.
The understanding is that the people
generally have agreed. Great Britain
has already completed trade arrange
ment ahead of other countries. There
has been strong opposition in England
to any such step; but the government
explains that the arrangement does not
involve friendship but merely trade
and of course the government eXplana-
ton goes, because in England profitable
trade is always the first and all I'M
portant consideration. There is strong
sentiment in the United States tha1
America should now be allowed every
advantage in this matter of trade with
Russia and of course the other coun-
tries will also come to the same con-
clusion. The outlook is that Russia is
going to have full and free opportunity
ia trv out the merits of socialism, and
if she can prove that it is the pest
form: of political and social life it Will
spread. Otherwise it will soon be
choked to death.

1t was hardly permissible a few
weeks ago for the press of the country
to discuss relations with Russia The
attitude Of the administration was that
unless Russia should conform its gov
ernment to the wishes of that admins
tration Americans could not have any
thing to do with Russia. Because OF
the espionage and other laws that gave
the administration a strangle hold on
the newspapers, the newspapers that
had opinions which differed from the
administration were compelled to keep
silent or tread lightly. These papers
realized that if they should contrary
the administration in one issue, the
next issue might not appear. 1t was
not a matter Of just think so; but
know so, for many papers had already
been snuffed out. But now that is all
over and it is hoped forever. The
American people again have the right
to think, and to say what they think
about political and other matters, and
that means that the world will soon be-
gin Strengthening itself out. AS to the
merits Of the Russian government, The
Yorkville Enquorer does not pretend to
know a great deal; but taken all in
all, it is inclined to think that Russia
is probably in a better way now than
it has ever been. There certainly can
not be less liberty and freedom there
now than there was Under the absolut-
ism Of the old regime and if the gov
ernment shows up certain shortcom-
ings, after all what government is
there that does not? 1t is not neces-
sary to go back much over one hun
dred and thirty years to come on the
time when all the governments Of Eu-
rope with the exception of France
looked upon the government of the
United States just about like all these
governments and many people in the
United States are now looking upon
Russia. Russia, is hardly more radical
now than the United States was then
In over hrowing czarisrn, Russia has
advanced no further in the direction
of real liberty than the United States
advanced through throwing off the
yoke of George III, of England The
people who were most shocked at the
conduct of tho thirteen colonies one
hundred and thirty years ago were the
monarchists of Europe who were con-
cerned not so much about how the
American colonists would get along
without kings as how the kings would
be able to get along with SO mucf
liberty among the masses, provided thc
common people of Europe should some
day emulate the common people ol
America And the feeling was not very
different on this side, as is evidenced
| by that memorable declaration ol
Thomas Jefferson 10 the effect that ne
almost wished that there was an ,ucear

rope. Right now we are hearing lot

out I'd accomplish; but really is not
there some question as to whether this
talk is more or less bunk? Is it not a
fact that Lenine is still the idol Of
Russia, and II he had failed. would that
be true? Also if Russia is not getting
along. pretty we'll with fairly stable
government, would there be anybody
wanting to strade with her now?

There is. absolutely no use crying
over seemingly adverse situation, and
people who are really worth while don't
generally cry. When folks who are

work. The grunblers were not any

co TO NIGHT SCHOOL
MR.. EOrDNEY

Congressman Fordney. the author
of the tariff bill, gets some pretty
hard raps from his own side Of the
house. The ind, pendent newspapers,
such as the Chicago Daily News and
others of equal inGepcrdc show
up the unreasonable and illogical ma
ture of Mr.. ForJney's tariff.
The great Chicago daily intimates
that Mr.. Fordney ought to go "
a night school or take a cocrespon-
dence course if he cannot leave Con-
gress long enough to learn something
about political economy.
Mr.. Fordney criticiZes American
merchants, who buy the products of
foreign factories and foreign labor
and import them into the United
States instead, as he says, of employ
ing American labor, paying wages at
hcme and keeping the domestic fac
tories, mills and shops running full
time.
The News suggested that "such at
tacks on American importers are so
ill founded and so unfair that it
would be difficult to account for
them were it not known that Mr..
Fordney's economic philosophy is an
tediluvian."
Looking at the figures on imports
to America, Mr.. Fordney is alarmed
and asks, "Why not produce every
thing at home?"
To this question the News says
that the United States exports more
than it imports and then asks Mr..
Fordney the question:
What if other countries take the
Fordney view and cease buying any
thing from this country?" 1t is
game that two can play at. 1t does
look at this distance that Mr.. Ford
ney might take a few days off from
his Congressional duties and study
political economy in its most elemen-
tary branches. In the meantime he
might take into his Congressional
Uranium the fact that there is no buy
ing without selling and vice versa.
Foreign trade is merely exchanging
goods.
Mr.. Fordney and the other high
protectionists should turn their eyes
away from the big Eastern factories,
steel trusts and such giant, (not in
fant) industries and make a tariff
that will help the common people.
Remember that the Lord loves the
common people, that is why He made
so many of them.

SCOUT CALLED "TAM-E-YUKH-
TAH (CUT-OFF LEGO

Amos Chapman was scout for
Gen. Nelson A. Miles In the war with
the southern plains tribes In 1874.
One day, with Eiily Dixon {'Hasta"--
Long Hair) ami four soldiers he was
carrying dispatches from Miles camp
on McClelland creek in Texas to Camp
Supply, Indian Territory, when they
were surrounded by war party Of
125 Commancl.es and Kiowas.
At the first fire from the Indians Prf-
vate Smith fell from his horse. His
companions, believing him dead, dis
mounted. abandoned their horses, and
ran to buffalo wallow, a depression
I'm the ground about 100 yards away.
The two scouts worked swiftly with
their knives deepening the wallow
while the three soldiers kept up a. hot
fire against the savages. who were rid
ing Mt full speed In fast-narrOwing
circle around them.
Suddenly Chapman noticed Private
Smith trying to rise. Boys, keep
these Internal redskins of me and I'll
run back and get Smith," he said to
his companions. He laid down his
rifle. sprang from the wallow, and un.
der han Of Indian bullets ran to
where Smith lay. Throwing himself
beside the wounded man, the scout
pulled Smith on his back and rose.
AS he staggered back towards the wal
low. IS Indians rode for him at full
speed.
Dixon and his comrades opened up
with fercer fire to protect Chap
man I'm his dash for safety. When he
was only 20 yards from the wallow an
Indian rode almost on top Of him and
fired. The scout fell, but since he
did not feel any pain, he believed he
had only stepped into hole.
Amos, you are badly hurt" eX-
claimed Dixon as Chapman dropped
beside him.
"No. am not" declared the scout
"Lunk at your leg" replied "Hasta."
md when Chapman looked he saw
that 'ne leg was shot Off just above
The ankle. He had been walking on
the btAe and dragging the foot be-
hind him, but in the excitement Of the
moment he did not know it. His
friends ampututed the foot, bound up
he. wounds, held out against the as
saults of the Indians until they were
rescued by company of soldiers.
Their brave defense won special men,

Chapman was given 9 medal Of honor
for his heroic act. Ever since that
fight the Indians have called him

DIPTHERIA
BY Dr.. Eugene o. Chimenc, Health
Officer, Greenville S. C.

With an increase in the number of
cases of diptheria reported from prac-
tically all parts of the state it is up
to parents to inform themselves of
the nature of this disease and the
methods for its prevention.
Diptheria, or membraneous Group,
IS an acute infectious disease that at
tacks usually the throat. 1t sometimes
:auses the child very little discomfort
and the disease may be. fairly well
developed befor a physician is called.
Foo often the case Is regarded by the
parent as an attack of simple sore
throat, but all sore throats are dan
gerous, and the possibility of dip
iberia should be kept in mind until
proven otherwise.
Obs crVation of large number of
children has shown that only about
40 per cent. of them will take dip
iberia, even if exposed to it. So the
first step in the prevention of dip
iberia is to have your children, es-
nCciaily those between the ages of
two and live tested, and if the test
proves that they are susceptible,
have them inoculated against Dip
iberia. This can be done easily and
cheaply by your family physician or
'ocal health officer, and the child rem
leren immune for a period of about
i've years.
When a case of diptheria develops
n family the patient should be iso-
lated at once; all eating utensils, bed,
men, etc., should be boiled each time
they are used and kept separate from
hose things used by the other mem
bers o. the family. Children under
fourteen, who have been exposed to
he disease, should be given suffi-
cient antitoxin to protect them for
hrec o. four weeks. Especial caution
hould be observed for the case so
hat tn disease is not carried to the
rest OF the family. Where possible,
cap and gown should be worn in
he Sic: room, and the hands thor
)ughiy acrubbed with lysol solution
Zach time upon leaving the room.
The patient should not be allowed
to get up except upon the doctors
riders, for dangerous complications
lay result from getting up too soon.
only after the doctor has examined
he child's throat and found it free
rom germs should the child be al
lowed to go out of the house or play
With other children.
