We haven't received it.
Lloyd George said that America had
made the same promise and had also not
kept It. so he wasn't to blame exclusive

he is grossly mistaken. The facts are
these:

and after he had read 1.-THE next day
or two days after--he told me, 'If you
leave the Rhine 7 would bring you

do his best with Mr.. Wilson to obtain
the same thing from him. Mr.. Wilson
very wisely said that he was willing TO
agree, but of course it would be subject
to acceptance by Congress.
so it was with Great Britain.
The fact that the United States didn't
follow was no reason that the promise
should not have been kept. And do you
suppose that really because our allies
didn't keep that promise, that we are
going TO stop and let our frontiers open 7?
No. no.

Wateree Approach
w orkz May Be Started
Highway Gem nnfission to Allot
!. $4,000

Columbia, Aug. 16.-The state
highway commission yesterday
agreed to .allot $4,000 to the Wa
teree river bridge approach work
in Sumter county out of the 1928
motor vehicle license accrnals for
Richland county and this practi-
cally completed arrangements for
raising the fund. It is expected
that the contract. will be awarded
by Sumter county.
The agreement by the commits
sion was announced after F. Will
liam. Cappelmann, president of the
chamber of commerce, had appear
ed before the. body and presented
resolution passed by the Rich
land county commission requesting
the, commission to appropriate the
$40, 900 out of the license ,accruals
or the gasoline tax. The commits
sion has no jurisdiction. over the
gasoline tax and the license fund
was agreed upon. ~.
:. Under the agreement the. $4,000
will be available as soon as the ac-
crua.s reach as high a. figure, as
$4,000. This figure must. be reach
ed in order that maintenance, work
will not be interfered with. The
commission had previously agreed
to allow SO, 900 from this same
fund for the Richland county ap-
proaches to the Wateree bridge.
ALI candidates for the house :, OF
representative and Senator z. B.
Pearce have pledged themselves to
support the appropriation Of the
$1,000 from sRichlafd; to be spent
in Sumter, it being necessary for
the legislature to affirm the agree
ment Of the commission. The ap-
proaches in Sumter are a little over
four miles long. including the. tenn
porary road. and in Richland they
are nothing like as long as in Sum-
ter. 49, 80:
. During the session of. the 1egis-
lature in 1921 the Columbia cham
Der of commerce, Mayor ,Blalock,
S. B. McMaster and other citizens
indorsed the move to build the .ap-
proaches and assured the highway
commission that funds would :, be
provided. After a long period ei
work the funds have apparently
been provided to the satisfaction
of Sumter county and the contract
will likely be let. The highway
commission yesterday recommend
ed that the Sumter contract be
awarded to Simons & Mayrant OF
Charleston. low bidders.
