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,

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. Previous to his
going to Georgia he had robbed
a jewelry store in Southern
Pines, N. C., and he will be taken
to that town tomorrow to
answer the charge, after which

Outen was taken to a hos

never been able to give any information
as to the circumstances
of his misfortune and
the knowledge that Davis may

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.?
