FOR GOOD ROADS
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Columbia.—Action that is believed
by advocates of the bill to mark a long
step forward In con* truest ion of an
adequate system of roads In Houth
Carolina was taken by the senate
Wednesday with the passage on third
reading of the hill f>y Henatorg Brl<sn
and Slnwler cfpatintc, a state highway
commission: I’rged for by the
state's englner* anl road officials and
pressed upon the general assembly at
this term by Governor Manning, the
senate Wednesday, sifter discussing a
multitude of amondmentts, sent, the
bill to. the house.
There was not the slightest division
of opinion aa to the necessity of a
hlghwuy commission armed with suf
ficient authority to get Houth Carolina
sand and clay together on the top of
road beds. The only, differences that
arose occurred on apeb questions of
detail as the salariea of the official*,
number of engineers to be employed,
and similar comparatively unimport
ant features.
Une of the most Important changes
which the senate adopted 1h embodied
In an amendment by .Senator DuKrant
whico makes the commissioner of ng
grlculture ex-officio chairman of the
board of eight commissioners instead
of the governor as the hill originally
provided. Honator Du Kant pointed
out that the duties of the hlghwuy
commission fell naturally under the
work of the agricultural department.
By th© Governor.
The other seven commissioners are
appointed by the governor one from
each congressional dlsi lit. No mem
ber of the commission shall receive
Any other compensation than actual
travelling expenses and other expen
ses in the discharge of official du
ties.
It Is said that the creation of a high
way commission will make instantly
Ulabie for ua© in Houth Carolina
highways, $160,000 of federal aid. Th©
pu.isage of the hill is significant, not
only bacuuse it will brim: federal ap
propriations to Houth Carolina, but
because It marks the departure from
the traditional policy of th© statu
which makes use of the county as the
unit of construction and est blishes
ihe state us the basis of highway
Molding.
glider the terms of the hill a* passed
the senate, the commission is given
th© right to Authorise th© construction
of bridges over strciurns in the state.
The commission is also authorized to
condemn lands for road construction
purposes.
Highway Engineer.
A state highway engineer is to lie
employed by th© commission at a sal
ary not exceeding $3,000 a year for ©
term not to exceed one year. He Is re
quired to give bond of $5,000 for the
faithful performance of his duties. It
is the duty of the commission to con
fer with th© engineer and give assist
ance whenever requested Th© com
mission is also authorized to appoint
an many assistant engineers aa it con
siders necessary, th© former to receive
as a salary not more than SI,BOO a
vear and the c!#rk not more than'
$1,200.
The senate refused to reconsider It©
action Tu©nday night in sending to the
house the insurance bill by Senator
IjSney relating to the oppolntment of
agents.

SPANISH REFUSAL
TO JOIN WILSON
<Continued from page one)
it considers that the extension in the
form announced of this pretended
right of destruction to the lives of
non-combatants and th© subjects of
neutral nations such as Spain, is con
trary to the principles observed by all
nations even in moments of the great
est violence. If the German govern
ment as it says, expects that the
Kpaninh people and government will
close their ears to the reasons which
have caused its decision and hopes
that they will co-operate to avoid fur
ther calamities and sacrifices of hu
man life. It will also understand that
th© .Spanish government while dispos
ed to lend at the proper time its initia
tive and support to anything that
could contribute in the advent of a
peace more and more wished for, can
not admit the legality of exceptional
methods of warfare
As a Neutral.
Those methods indeed, notwith
standing Spain’s rights as a neutral
and her unscrupulous fulfillment of
duties incumbent on her as such, make
mure difficult and even stop altogether
h*r sea trade, compromising her eco
nomic life and threatening with
grave dangers the lives of her sub
jects.
"His majesty’s government, sup
ported more firmly than ever by the
Justice of Its position, does not doubt
that the imperial government, inspired
by the sentiments of friendship which
unite the two countries, will find, not
withstanding the severe exigencies of
this terrible war, means of giving
satisfaction to Spain's claims. These
claims are based on the inexorable
duty which binds a government to
protect the lives of* its subjects and
maintain th© Integrity of its sover
eignty so that the course of national
existence he not interrupted. For the
reasons set out his majesty's gov
ernment feels itself fully sustained in
its position by reason and law.”
Pgrls Comment.
Paris. —The Petit Parisian, comment
ing on the Spanish reply to th© German
submarine note, says. j
"When a country proclaims its sover
eign rights and the necessities of its na-'
tbrnal existence in condemning an act,
which strikes at its Interests, it follows
that It is disposed. If necessary, to re
sist any violation of Its rights.”
A Billion Pesetas.
Madrid (via. Paris). —Premier Roman
ones and the Duke of Alba, minister
of th© Interior, met the minority lead
ers at a two-hours’ conference today and
asked thqlr support for the immediate
passage of a number of measure*, in-,
eluding a credit of a billion pesetas for
public works.
Among the projected bills is one for
the reform of the foreign banking ser-.
vices, another for the nationalization of
exterior Joans, ft third for an increase
in the IncomA tax and a fourth sos a
substitution of a tax on thp profits of
privileged enterprises instead of the
present tax on war profit*. A measure
was also discussed respecting the to
bacco monopoly. The minority leaders
agree to all the proposals except that
for a billion pesetas credit and a bill
dealing with the liquor question. These
two matters were reserved for a further
conference.
Doesn’t Exclude Action.
Referring to the Spanish not© to Ger
many the Diario Universal says that the
whole country is unanimously in favor
of maintaining neutrality but that that
attitude does not exclude action in the
defense of national interests or for the
protection of national dignity.
"No country could renounce its right
to that defense,” says the paper, ‘‘before
tlie note of the central powers without
at the same time abandoning Its neu
trality. The two Ideas are perfectly com
patible and on both the nation is unani
mous. No one wants to abandon neu
trality but no one wants either to aban
don the interests and dignity of Hpain
before th© caprice© or noresMitiea of for
eign powers.” - >
