OPPOSED TO
BOND ISSUE
Senator Johnson, of Allendale,
Raises Point Of Heavy
Interest Charge

Allendale,4 Dec. 24.-OppoSitl0n
to bond issue for the construction
of highways in. the state was ex-
pressed here today by ]. Henry
johnson, state senator for Allen
dale county. He favors the build
ing Of highways of the state through
the gasoline and automobile taxes
together with small property tax.
The interest on $40, ,000 200 worth
of bonds. which he says he believes
would be the smallest sum feasible,
would amount to two million dol
lars year and this sum could as
well be spent on the roads. He was
discussing the plan broached at a
recent meeting of citizens at CO.
lumbia which is now in the hands
Of q comittee, of seven for formal
preparation of plan to be laid
before the legislature after another
mass meeting.
Declaring he was against the
proposed bond issue the senator
continued:
Il do favor a stare system OF.
highways. however, but believe
that South Carolina can construct
and maintain same without bond
issue. In my opinion, it would
be necessary to issue bonds in the
sum of s50,00O,00o, the annual in
terest on which WOULD amount to
s2,000,O00, and. since, we could not
we'll expend more than S5,000,000 a
year, 1 believe that this sum could
be raised by means of the gasoline
tax, the automobile license fees
and small property tax. The two
million dollars annual interest on
the bond issue could thus be ex-
pended in building roads to bet
ter advantage than expending it
as interest
Senator Johnson, who is 35
years old. has served two terms as
state senator. one from Barnwell
county and the other from Allen
dale. He was elected last fall for
his second term from Allendale.
He is an attorney, having gradu-
ated from The Citadel in 1906 and
the law department OF the Uni
versity Of South Carolina in 1909.

Paris, Dec. "a fBys hesAssociat-S

ing today between Prernier Pom

'ated regions, NJ. de Lasteyrie. min
lister Of finance. Yves Le Trocauer.
minister of public works, Louis
Barthou, presid ent Of the repa
rations commission, and other
prominent personage The meet
ing lasted three hours.
An official note issued at the con-
.clusion Of the conference specified
that nitrates demanded from Ger
many was among the matters dis
cussed. It added that officials
from the ministry of liberated re-
gions gave an account OF the z;e-s
cent mission to Berlin and OF the
difficulties they encountered.
In connection with this meeting
The Matin says the government IS
anxious to have a plan for operat-
ing on the left side OF the Rhine
ready almost to details, including
the Adjustment OF cnstoans
barrier between the Rhineland and
the Ruhr basin on the Zone hand
and the rest Of Germany on the
other. The government at che
same time attaches the utmost inl-
portance to having the TRUE nature
Of the plan understood. It IS dis
traint on productive guarantees,
not a. military expedition intend
ed to annex territory.
The Intervention Of the arms,
continues The Matin, is foreseen
only to an extent necessary for the
protection of customs employees or
control of German state pfso-
erty. ~
A Touion dispatch to this paper
says that the maritime prefecf has
been invited by telegraph to- name
several comforting engineers who
hold themselves in radiness to- -
ceed to the Ruhr. The mission sof
the officers will be to supervise
production in case occupation OF the
basin is decided upon.
a Havas dispatch from Berlin
says the French demand for ni-1
trates amounts to 10000 tons, teS
he delivered on account OF rep
arations. The German government.
however. has declined to meet this
demand on the ground that the
German production is far from suf-
ficient to cover domestic needs.

Fire At Manning Causes Heavy Loss
81 Manning, Dec pa disastrous
Sunday midnight fire ushered in
the Christmas anniversary in a most
spectacular manner. The Thomas
Livery Stables. located in the rear
of one of the most prominent busi-
ness blocks Of Manning. and with
the stables crowded with horses and
mules, was completely destroyed by
fire: also the Office of w. G.. King,
cotton buyer and a negro drug
store.
The Western Union Telegraph
office, the Bank of Manning, the
Manning Times office building and
T. NJ. Nimmers' colonial residence
were In close proximity to the fire. A
total destruction of the block
seemed inevitable. but by the
splendid activity of the fire depart
ment and with only a light breeze
the flames We're held in sway to
the protection Of the front build
ing.
There We're about twenty-five
horses and mules locked up in the
stalls, approximately forty hogs to-
gether with tons Of foodstuffs and
forage. The doors of the stables
were broken dow;l and with poles
and sticks men rushed in to drive
out the animals but no sooner were
they driven out than they made a
dash back into the burning build
ing. Two fine veteran horses be-
longing to the town were among
the horses that made leap back
into the stalls and were burned
to char.
The estimated loss from the fire
is $4,000 with an insurance of about
$4,000.

Less tenacity of purpose is shown
Z in John Adams signature than in
JeffersOn's. But in Adams script
we see constructiveness and order
the eternal fitness of things. based
on a just conception of what the
writer considers to be right and
equitable. He had persuasive quail
ties essential TO the completion of
almost any undertaking. jefferson
was fighter in the open; Adams a
subtle fighter, intellectually acute.
sagacious, discriminating, calm and
practical.
The signature of John Hancock
shows many of the characteristics OF
John Adams, with probably greater
equipoise-better balanced condi-
tions of moral. social and political
forces. While he had more balance,
he lacked the argumentative powers
of Adams. or even of jefferson. His
mental acuteness was less than
either. but he made up in delibera-
ton OF mind what he lacked in firm
ness and resolution. This is shown
by the roundness Of the tops of his
small letters and the precision of
formation. The familiar scrolled
underscore is a mark of self-appro-
baton and pride.
