said, "They are all waiting tc

We can't tell you which direc

as well as we could tell yoi
what the next move in this Mex
ican affair will be.
There
seems to be an impres
sion on the minds of a goo<
many people that the count;
supervisor receives twelve hun
dred dollars a year, and th
Chesterfield Advertiser made
statement to that effect not lonj
ago. One of the county con:
missioners was our authority fo
the statement some weeks ag<
that his salary is only eight hur
dred, and this same commisinnr
has again stated that our repoi
was right, saying that he is i
position to know. So we agai
make the assertion that th
supervisor of Chesterfield count
receives eight hundred dollars
years salary and no more. If an
person denies this, let him sho\
nis authority.
While talking with the Journf
man this cammissioner said tha
only one countv officer receive
twelve hundred dollars, this on
being the superintendent c
education, who was elected o
an eight hundred dollar salary.
] The county commissioners, in
session today, says the Wades
s boro Messenger of last Monday,
received the returns from an
\ election. A short while ago an
election was held to extend the
0 limits of the Lilesville graded
" school district so as to include
| the residence of Mr. L. T.Carter,
who lived just outside the district.
Mr. Caater was registrar, and
= pollholder, and his was the only
vote cast. The election was
unanimously carried by the vote
- of one to nothing.
1 Who is W. F.
Stevenson"/'
k ,
j Mr. W. F. Stevenson is running
for Congress in the Fifth
District. Most newspaper readers
know something about him,
1 but he has been a busy man and
his contact with the district has
( not given the people of the distJ
rict the intimate knowledge of
j him that they should have. We
propose in a few articles to do
; this.
He was raised on a farm and
worked in the field each year
untill he entered college at the
2 age of eighteen. He read law
and taught school at the same
time and became an active law\
yer in May, 1887. He was elected
to the legislature in 18%, 1898
and 1900. He was elected Speak"
er of the House in Janeary, 1901.
and served until he quit the
* House for that time. On his
jr election, one of the leading daily
papers made the following com
' nient:
1 "In the election of Mr. W. F.
Stevenson, of Chesterfield Coun
ty to the speakership of the house
^ yesterday the expected has hap0
pened. The expected by us at
s least, although the result of the
h vote seems to have afforded surd
prise in other quarters. On the
K 18th of last May we said, 'We
c have before referred to Mr.
e Stevenson as one of the rising
" men in South Carolina politics.
^ He has all the essentials for sue
? cess as his career in the House
s of Representative^ has shown.
1 For the last two sessions he has
easily been the leader of that
body.
s He has never been defeated in
[ any candidacy. He is a quick
1 debater with an incisive manner,
5 and a peculiarly attractive,
* although awkward delivery."'
5 The statement that he has
' never been defeated has to be
now qualified, since he ran for
1 Attorney General in 1902 and
" was beaten by a small majority.
? The Yorkville Yeoman said then
1 that he was being urged to run
s for McLaurin's place and added,
5 "There is no doubt that candit
dates for Congress from this the
fifth congressional district would
feel greatly relieved to see him
5 in the senate."
The Fort Mill Timesof January
' 3<>. 1901. after a visit o< it'soditnr
1 to the legislature, said of him:
"Tall, slender and loosely made
- with a thin crop of sandy hair, a
stubby mustache of the same
' hue and a head that appears none
too large, one is not apt to guess
1 the abiht) of this remarkable
- man.
In all South Carolina he is perhaps
the most forceful speaker
and debater, with perhaps one
exception and his elevation to
J the speakership was duesolely to
y* the recognition of his ability."
So now having left the incumbent
quietly in office for sixc
teen years he asks for the oppora
tunity to serve his State and the
g Nation as a loyal lieutenant of
i- Woodrow Wilson.
r Having in four years reached
the top in the House of represenU
tof 1 ic . I /1 'J^?
kiixvo <111 vi Having iiisw uuveiup'
ed and shown increased ability in
r the subsequent years, both legal
rt and legislative, we ask why life
n should not be given an opporn
tunity to do the same in the
e House of Representatives at
y Washington?
a As a man says, who
v has been present at every sesv
sion of every legislature since
1900 and knows Mr. Stevenson
d and the other public men of the
it State from personal acquaints
tance and observation. "He will
e put the filth district on the map.'

, As a good many of the clubs
have not organized this year,
the Executive Committee would
like very much for such clubs to
meet real soon and properly or:
ganize.
It is very important that each
> club have a Secretary and a
member of the County Executive
Committee.
Let the word go out to all the
voters to enroll for there is absolutely
no reason for any white
democrat in Chesterfield county
being deprived of the right to
vote, provided he is 21 years of
age, or shall become so before
the general election, and a citizen
of the State for two years,
i and has resided in the county
six months and the voting pre,
,cinct 60 days prior to the prmary.
We shall be glad to give any
information we can.
