C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. February 21,1917 How can a loyal Chesterfield county citizen stay away from the pulls Wednesday and neglect to vote for Stevenson? He is assured of the election if a full vote can be polled. Every man should go to his voting place and do his duty Men have fought and died for the privilege of voting. The privilege is vours, and with it is coupled a duty. The primary was not the real election this time, and it is more necessary that you vote in the general election on Wednesday of this week than it was for you to vote in the primary. Look elsewhere how Stevenson swept the county, and led all the others by a big majority in the district. Chesterfield county was once the "worthless waste" arid she has never been allowed to have a congressman. Now is the op portunity. Why should she not have recognition among the other counties and at Washington? Be loyal to your county Wednesday. The new township road commissioner for Old Store town ship has a plan for the miantenance of the public roads which %ve believe will give satisfaction if it can be carried out as he has ii i"i minrl TTo r\r^? I . ... mmm m k?v&i A&V |JL\J~ poses to contract about a mile of road to a lanner living on that section of the road to have it dragged after each rain or as often as there is need. In this wav all the roads of th?-township may be put in condition at the right time. The money will be distributed over the whole township, and it is beleived that splenchd interest may be arous ed in this way. Possibly there mav be rivalrv hot w?>on boring contractors to see which can keep liis section in best condition. Before getting a contract a man will probably be requiioit to prepare a road drag at his own expense, which would be very light. It is not known whether tl. tc will be enough money to carry out this plan, but the idea seems to us to be a good one. If the commissioner finds that he can't get enough money, we believe there may be a man found for each section wuo would do the work for less than it is actually worth ia order to have the roads in good condition by his farm and all over the township. House Passed Boyd Prohibition Bill. Columbia, S. C., Feb. 17.? Another one of South Carolina's many new prohibition measures, known as the Boyd bill, was passed by the lower house of the Legislature today after it had been debated all day ves ? * - - - iciuiiy iiiin rar into last night. It provides that no intoxicant containing more that one per cent of alcohol may he imported except for medicinal, sacramental or scientific purposes. Tne ( House passed this bill in lieu of , the Durant measure wtiich ( would allow any one to import ( one quart of liquor each month. The Senate had passed the Durant bill and refused to accept a "bone dry" mearure. The Boyd bill now goes to the Senate. Can "U" Go On a Long Hike? 1 Did vou ever dream about taking a long hike over the country?seeing sights at first 1 hand? Your opportunity has ' arrived. Mr. L. Medlin of j of Marshville is advertising for j a good partner in this issue of 1 The journal to accompany him 1 on a long trip to "Blowing 1 Rock, bear hunt a while; kill a ' few pheasants and catch a few , trout at Linville Falls; step over , to Niagra Falls, take a good old 1 shower bath; go to Poughkeepsie, New York, and Baltimdre; stop over at Washington and ' confer with Uncle Sam about ( this blasted war situation that seems to be making hen truit so i high." Mr. Medlin is neither bluffing nor joking, according to his advertisements. He is serious ] that he attaches special pualifi- j cations to the man who will ac- ( company his long ramble. He ( must have good habits, one who "has learned to love nature's works, and all of God's ere- , ation," and who likes to work. . It is not a free gratis trip, , either, according to an intimation of wages contained in the advertisement. The man who ( accompanies him, says Mr. Medlin, must be one "who is satis fied with fair wages, and who , realizes the world owes him . nothing, only as he obtains his bread by the sweat of his face, , and should his bread fail him a dav or two, he must still feel that it is a good old world in which we live, and it is not all of this life to live, nor all of ' death to die; that life's walk is not all thorns, but many, many flowers; whose object is to try to leave some flowers instead of thorns in life's work for others; with hicrh p?tppm fr?r tlio (rnUon ?vr? ftV7iUV.ll rule regaidless of what others may sav or think." Mr. Medlin iWP^^?rful big ' walker himself, and although we do not wish to discourage anv applicants for the jaunt, he had better be able to rattle off the miles at five an hour. Mr. Medlin is also a long distance walker.?Monroe Journal, Program Quarterly Meeting W. M. U., Providecne, March, 3 10 a. m. Devotional: Miss Ger trude Tadlock, Providence. If Thou Knewest, Mrs. E.

' Vegro Is Arrested After Chase Monroe, Feb. 16?On thfct ternoon of February 12, $913, Mr. W. R. Outen, at that tithe a nerchant in the city, was shot n the head and assaulted/ with [he butt of the gun with which ' ae had been shot. Many- peo- 1 pie have suspected Tom Davis, a negro, as having knowledge af the affair and the police officers of this city have kept a hot trail after him since his departure from the city on the night of ' the assault. Thev have trailed him through South Carolina and Georgia to Florida, and yesterday he was arrested in St. Augustine, after he had made an escape from the chain gang in Savannah. Ga.

Mr. Clifford Fowler, of the local police force, located Davis in Florida, and will receive the $50 reward offered by Southern Pines. After the assault, Outen was taken to a hos pital in Charlotte^ where he remained several weeks in an unconscious condition. He has never been able to give any information as to the circumstances of his misfortune and the knowledge that Davis may possess is awaited with much anxiety. Railroads Will Aid New York.

WOOD O SONS, SEEDSMAN, - Richmond, Va. \ , c- ' I { 1 ft # ? Stevenson Appreciates Your Vole To the Voters of Chesterfield County: As I can not write a personal letter to each voter of the coun ty at this time, I desire through the county papers to express my sincere thanks for the splendid ypte cast for nle last Friday. It was a declaration to the world that Chesterfield county has waited long enough to have a man from this county in the Congress of the nation. It was also a splendid endorsement of my record as a representative in the legislative halls of the State. I am asking now for the privilege of representing the citizens of Chesterfield county, and other counties in the Fifth District, in more important legislative matters?in matters that require mature judgment as well as former experience. The United States has never before faced just such a situation as we face at present. The problem of taking care of the business interests of the nation, and preserving the liberties of il 1 1 i- -1 i me wnuie peopie, is aireaav up for the consideration of the next Congress. It is possible yet to avoid war with Germany; and, if elected, I shall hope for settlement of the vexing international problems without coming to blows with' any nation. But if war must come, then we must face the problem of preserving a nation's honor and its resources with as little loss of life as possible. After the war the problem of re adjustment of business interests will be as serious as were the problems at the beginning of the war. The Southern States will need strong representation then as well as now. I am sure you will agree with me that nothing counts for efficiency in legislation so much as experince. I want to urge every voter to be sure to turn out at the polls Wednesday to vote. The final result will be the result of that vote. You have shown by your first vote that vou are in the race to win. Let every man who I eels an interest go to the polls, and see to it that his neighbor goes. Let us keep up our interest one more day, and we are sure to win. Then as I rejoice in mv election, may each one of vou rejoice in the vie tory of Chesterfield County? the first in the 132 years of its existence. I thank you ance more for what you did last Friday, and for what you may do on Wednesday of this week. Do not forget the date, Wedn< snay, 21st. Yours very truly. W. F. STEVENSON. Printed Letter Heads When I get a' letter from a farmer written in ink on a printed letterhead, I assume at once that here is a reading man and an intelligent farmer, and much the contrary is the impression when I get a letter scrawled in pale pencil on dark poor papei which makes it hard for old eves to read Then another ad! vantage in the printed lettei head, especially when the lettei is from a business, is that many of these business men make theii signature in the most com pi o manner, and hut tor the printet name at top I could hardly knov> to whom to send the reply. On? can guess at a good deal in any one't letter, but cannot guess a a signature that is unreadable.? W. F. Massey, in The Progress ive Farmer.
