Angus! 30, 1916 THE DEFEATED ONES To the candidates who were defeated in the voting yesterday we desire to extend our good wishes. If you ran a clean race and did nothing of which you might be ashamed you were successful. Probably you will be happier in a few months than if you had been elected and thrust into a position of great responsibility where a wrong step or careless act might have brought sorrow. Remember that all could not be elected. The winners have the offices for which they labored, and therefore no not need congratulations. A TIGHT RACE The race for sheriff of Chesterfield county has been the most interesting of anv race for a local office in many years. So far as we are informed it has been conducted upon a high plane. The two candidates have been on splendid terms and the speeches during the cam paign were humorous and friendly. The two men have been good friends for years, and they are still friends. The winner has the office, and the good will of the defeated man. This does not imply that the candidates for other offices are not gentlemen, or that they did not conduct the campaign upon a high plane. The fact that there was so much interest manifested in the sheriff's race brought forth the above remarks. V~ ~"? r INVESTIGATE THE GOVERNMENT Under the above headline the Saturday Evening Post has the following to say of the plan for investigating the United States government: "Announcement of the Institute for Government Research constitutes the most cheering news of a political nature we have heard lately. The Institute, we hear, will be financed largely "by Rockefeller interests/* which doubtless means that it will have ample funds for its purpose. It will be conducted and assisted by men whose reputations give high promise of disinterested, intelligent service. n us purpose is a morougn, continuous, helpful investigation of the Federal Government. "We have several times expressed the opinion that Mr. Rockefeller, who devotes many millions to investigating various things, could not possibly do better with his money than endow an institution to examine the public concern at Washington. There have been a number ot merely incidental investigations that have created a pre sumption of enormous waste and inefficiency. We have had each political party charging the other party with scandalous misuse of public funds. "We cannot reasonably expect to know the truth about the Federal Government until some permanent body, independent, disinterested, entirely detached from politics, and ablv rnnHnrl. ed, undertakes a survey ot it. If this Institute lives up to its opportunities it will certainly be one of the most useful manifestations of philanthropy in our time. "Apparently Washington rather resents it. That was to be expected. But Washington s > ob viously needs it that its resentment will count for nothing." Superintendent and Teachers for Chesterfield Chesterfield Advertiser j The Chesterfield High School will open September 11, with ( the following corps of teachers: ' W. P. Coker, principal; Miss 1 Anna Bell Brock, English, French s and Violin; another high school 1 teacher to be selected; Miss Millie Douglass, 6th and 7th grades; i Mrs. J. W. Hanna, 4th and 5th < grades; Miss Flora Bell Stegall, 1 3rd grade; Miss Stella Melton, 1 2nd grade; Miss Ann Lucas, 1st 1 grade. Miss Rrnrk Mrs Hanna anri Miss Lucas have taught here before and their excellent record in the past is a guarantee of i their success for the future. The other young ladies are all well i known to the people of Chester- 1 field. Prof. W. P. Coker, who comes to us as superintendent of the school, is a native of Laurens County, a graduate of Furman University, and a teacher of eighteen years experience. His record includes six years at Leesville College, five years superintendent of Springfield High School, in Orangeburg County, and three years superintendent of Latta High School in Dillon County, Little Johann lived at one end of the town and his grandfather at the other. One day hi3 grandfather died. A stranger passing down the street noticed little Johann playing in the garden quite as if nothing had happened. Rather shocked at the lad's conduct, he stopped and said: "lohann, your grandfather is dead." The little fellow looked up. 4I know it,' he said, as he resumed his play. 'I've cried.'
