Dear Mr.. Editor:
must commend you for the posi-
ton you have taken toward the con-
nection of Wiley QUITS and Alex.
Watson with the Tolbert disgrace in
Columbia several days ago. Both of
these men are distantly connected
with my family and for that reason,
if for no other, / feel hurt by their
conduct.

Strong Endorsement Of am
Citizen.

Dear Mr.. Editor: ss5zsi -
1t is very gratifying to Southern
born South Carolina Democrat to
read in your columns, and also in
those, of the Edgeield Chronicle, how
you so clearly voiced the sentiment
of the people Of Edgefeld county
when you placed before the PUBLIC
the facts concerning the acts of two
sons of noble Edgefeld families who
have become involved with Tolbert
and his party.
When think how hard the fathers
of these men fought and sacrificed
during the Confederate war and the
following reconstruction days to up
hold white supremacy, and make our
fair Southland fit 70 live in, / feel
that you did not put it strong enough.
Do it again. ~
1t was the Tolberts who caused the
Phoenix riot, accompanied with
bloodshed and sorrow, and we must
avoid any possible return Of the
Phoenix trouble.
AS all true Southerners are united
by the strong bonds Of Southern chiv-
airy and patriotism which character
ICES our Democratic party, it be-
hooves every white person to remain
united to prevent Tolbert from driy-,
ing his political wedge to split the
Democratic party.

Dear Advertiser:

WILL PEACE FOLLOW
THE LAUSANNE EFFORT?

There is very slight indication that
the conference at Lausanne will be
successful in bringing about a per-
feet peace in the Near East, although
it was for that purpose the gathering
was called. The shock brought about
when the American ambassador came
boldly out and told where this coun-
try stood was resultant in causing
still greater efforts for schemes of
trickery upon the part of other ma
tons, nations which have been en-
deavorign to camouflage insensate
greed under the placid smile and the
honied word. 1t appears there is but
little actual actual interest taken in
the meeting, as the various partici-
pants are eager to take any surrep-
titious means possible to gain a point
in advance; and the result of the con-
ference, looked forward to with self
ish hope by the various nations, mag
prove to be a fiasco which will ter

MAKE MORE MILES
OF POORER HIGHWAY

OF POORER HIGHWAY
With a view of making a greater
mileage of highways throughout
Florida the state road department
has hit upon a plan that is bound to
fritter away the money of the pepole
for mere temporary relief. The
board has approved" a suggestion
/, that in order to make better record
in mileage it will about half build a
road, giving no surfacing but leaving
it in a condition for surfacing, and
thus turn over "for record a maxi
mum mileage; at the same time the
members of that state board should
realize they are making but make
shift road which will be entirely
worn out before there is a change to
finish it. The following dispatch
partially explains the plan that has
been unanimously" adopted by the
department:
specifically the progressive sys-
tenn will be first applied to that por-
ton of state road lying in Brevard
county, seventy-odd miles. Under
this plan the federal government will
extend its financial cooperation even
though a permanent surface is not
laid down on the roadbed, Judge
Philips explained the plan in detail.
1t provides for permanent grading
and drainage with lasting and gov
ernment-approved road base. On the
construction of this portion Of such
road the vogernment will extend its
federal aid funds to cover so per cent
Of the cost. The state is then allow
ed to lay an acceptable temporary
surface.
Following such a plan the state is
enabled to cover vastly more miles Of
highway than would be possible if it
