The commissioners of election have ordered a primary for the second Tuesday in March for the purpose of nominating a mayor, six aldermen and a commissioner of public works. There are three announced candidates for mayor, H. L. Breeden, Dr. J. H. Hamer and J. D. Hargrove, but so far there are no announced candidates for aldermen or the vacancy on the public works commission. No (issues have developed as yet. but it I is said there will be two important .issues in the campaign, viz: The pavlir.c? nf th? ctrppts and better lighting facilities. Friends of the several candidates will arrange for a public meeting some time before the election and these iatsues will be discussed. In the meantime the candidates are having very little to say. 7 O ... As Much Cotton on Half the Acreage If the cotton acreage in the South should be reduced one half and a sufficient- but economical amount of plant food added in fertilizers, manure and soil improving crops, as much cotton can easily be made as we have averaged the last ten years, on half the acreage, and the profit will be many millions greater than when the larger area of land was cultivated, and the soil because of this liberal and right feeding, would be better with each year. This would leave one-half the land now devoted to cotton and a good deal of extra time and labor to go to growing food and feed crops. If one-half of the. reduced acreage were devoted to food crops and one half planted in peas and soy beans during the summer, crimson clover, vetch, or other soil improving crops for the winter and spring and these crops turned under for the improvement of the land, and fcr growing, in part (around one half), next year's crop of cotton, then the fertilizer bill could and would be rapidly reduced in a few years, and so changed that only phosphoric acid and potash, in the main, would bo needed for the future.?The Progressive Farmer. o War Pictures at Everybody's Manager Benfield of Everybody's Theatre has secured from the government the great war serial, "Under Four Flags," which will be presented at Everybody's Theatre next Wednesday and Thursday nights. The pictures are actual scenes taken on the field of battle by an official pho? tographer and are under the direction of the committee on public Information. The idea of the government is to show the people of Amerioa the hardships and dangers our boy8 suffered in France. Manager Benfield says he would not be able to show the pictures if they were syndicated because the cost is too great, but in its campaign of education the government is letting the movie theatres of America have the pictures at a nominal sura. o The Presbyterian Church.

Some patrons have expressed themselves as in favor of the above program; some others have said that whatever the teachers thought best suited them; the majority have not expressed themselves to the superin. tendent at all. The new program, if begun at all, will be inaugurated the first of March. If there are any who are opposed to the program and are not willing to make necessary changes in their daily schedule to allow for the dinner hour and other things necessary in the readjustment, you are asked to express yourselves to the superintendent by the first of next week.

Paris Cable:? Mrs. Wilson with Miss Benham, ; her secretary, has passed many spare hours shopping in Paris, much to the enhancement of her wardrobe. Before Bhe was married to Mr. Wilson she frequently came to Paris and, was well known in many of the fash-' ionable dressmaking establishments, j Indeed, she has not forgotten her old! veldeuses, and she is delighted when she enters the shops and finds them welcoming her. Recently Mrs. Wilson went to Worth's and asked for Mme. Birot, who served her ten years ago. She saw all of Worth's gowns and told Mme. Birot she had always preferred French gowns and was pleased to be in Paris, where she again could see them first hand. She made an engagement to return to Worth's to see the new spring models during the first week in next month, when she will place her orders. The spring openings give every promise of being tbe brilliant rasmun shows that they were in pr^-wari days. Women of the American peace delegation will attend many of these] openings. Mrs. Wilson probably will be In-j vited to several private exhibitions of i gowns just prior to the formal open-, ings. All the Paris saleswomen who know her declare they never had a more charming and gracious customer than Mrs. Wilson. Some of them even remember her favorite colors and have made special models, hoping they again may be able to claim her as a customer. | One of these saleswomen said Mrs.; ' Wilson always was fond of purple and wore it more than any other color.?Herald Chronicle. o $40,000 for Dillon Postoffice. The public buildings bill presented to congress last week gives Dillon $40,000 for a new postoffice. A telegram was received from Congress man Ragsdale Friday afternoon saying that this amount had been agreed upon and that it would be included in the bill. The government purchased a site for the postoffice several years ago for the sum of $7500.00. The site is opposite the court house and a handsome postoffice building facing this magnificent structure will add greatly to the appearance of this section of the city. It is" not known when work on the new postoffice building will begin, but it is not likely that ground will be broken any time this year. Material is very scarce and workmen are not so plentiful. It will take about six months to complete the building after ground has been broken. o Washington, D. C To the Editor of The Herald:?

He has been wearing a broad band of crepe for his distinguished fatherin-law, Theodore Roosevelt, and on rising to speak several days ago he received vigorous applause. Miss Helen Janette Rankin, the congress-woman from Montana, so far has had nothing much to say. Her appearance is good, but unlike men, she has no time to take up in discussing every Item of a bill. The military bill has been before the house since before Thursday, as perhaps many readers have seen, and will probably finish Monday. The military bill is for over an eleven hundred million dollar appropriation for supporting the army for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1920. In this is included money used for not only keeping up the army at home and that portion of it which is abroad; and for transporting back home the troops which are to be returned. The new bill to be introduced next will be the wheat bill. Mr. J. Willard Ragsdale told us that the President will have about sixteen bills to sign on his return. Washington is on the qui vive for the event. Before closing a very hurriedly written letter back home, let me say that Mr. Robert LaFollette is just like his pictures, and the Senate a place no less interesting than the former mentioned places.
