"Water Tight" Act To Be Ad vocated The Slate, Monday Statewide organization, to urgt the passage of a "water tight* prohibition law, is to be effected at the rally of the "dry" force* at the Jefferson hotel tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. The central committee has been active in urging representation from all sections of the State.

Cantaloupes have been grown only in a very limited way, and probably very few farmers know how to fertilize and cultivate to get best results. Cantaloupes may be fine in ap pearance and still be of a very poor quality. We are told that the cultivation has as much to do with this as anything else. Farmers who expect to grow cantaloupes for the market should learn all they can about them before planting time, A large quantity of poor grade rantfllniinpc wrmlH corvo tn WW V ? IM WVt TV/ TV/ throw a damper on what could otherwise be a very profitable undertaking:, + We understand that a petition has been circulated over the county asking the legislature to retain the rural police system for Chesterfield county. We have not seen the petition and do not know what it asks for. But if it asks for the retention of the present rural police system, we feel that this was a needless effort. This system was estab lished through the efforts of Representatives Odom and Rivers two years aaa. we beligyo,< cry from'many sections of the county when the change was made from constable to rural policeman. Then at the follow ing session of the legislature a bill was passed to refer the mat ter to a vote of the people of the rAtinfti TKIn 2? ? IUUUIJ. 11113 VY U3 UUUC 111 lilt; Democratic primary held August 29, 1916. The vote was 1465 for the system, 1804 against it. By their ballots a majority of the voters in the county said do away with the system. Chesterfield county's representatives in the present legislature are proba blv brave men, but they are not brave enough to retain this system and come back and ask for the votes of the people whose expressed wish they ignored. We are told that a system will be given us whereby there will be a police officer in each township with the same powers as the present officers who are required to cover two or more townships. We have no definite information in regard to the matter, however, and, of course can't say whether this will be done or not. It seems to us though that a system of this Irinrt urniil/1 Kn ? ...uu MVU1U UC IU lllti people and perhaps the best solution of the problem. Cheese 25c a lb.

One of these by Senator 'DuRant of Claren don county would reduce the monthly allotment of whiskey tc one quart. One sharp distinc tion between this bill and the present law is that women, ex cept the heads of families, would be excluded from eligible lists for shipment. Two other bills would nol change the "gallon a month" law as to the amount obtainable, but would allow substitute shipments of beer. Each would al low 60 pints. The bill by Sena tor Hughes would admit the shipment of beer with an alcoholic content of 5 per cent. Senator D. Reece Williams of Lancaster would allow the importation of beer, containing 2 per cent, of alcohol. The Williams bill would also require a pemit from the coumy clerk of court before placing an order. A straight prohibition bill, of fered by W. R. Richey, Jr., of Laurens, has been reported favorably in the house.

I will do nothing to any hu man soul which may become a bitter memory in after years. I will not stoop to low, mean things. I will not think ill of any human being. I will be funny without resorting to coarseness and strong without being cruel. I will be ar cheerful as I can be. I will play the game of life fair and square, hew to the line and take nothing not honestly earned. I will not buy things I know are beyond my means. I will not offend knowingly, become inti maie with vulgarity or soil the name of woman. I will look men square in the eyes unflinchingly, tell the truth in all things, .study my weaknesses, profit by mistakes. I will be willing to forgive, slow to anger, calm in my judgment, I will live clean in mind und body, believe in the sweetness of motherhood, the tenderness and purity ot woman and the sanctity of the home. I will cultivate friendships?the company of good women and the manners of a gentleman. *' \ MULES ? r t * I I I ^fiSfKaEsSS?
