Telephone, local and long distance. No. 112. Entered at the poetoffire at Fort Mill. 5* C.. as mall matter of the second class. THURSDAY. MAY 22. 1913. W. F. Stevenson, of Chesterfield, takes occasion to deny the report sent out from Washington a few days ago that he had announced himself a candidate for the Senate to succeed E. D. Smith. It would seem to be the part of wisdom for Mr. Stevenson to confine his political activities to Chesterfield county, from which he has been a representative in the Legislature a number of times. Unfortunately for Mr. Stevenson there is an opinion more or less general throughout the State that he is or has been a corporation attorney, and tuKpfhor tUn /mini*?* in iUb^iia iiiu u|riIllUI! ID H UC Ul otherwise the effect on his candi- 1 dacy for the United States Senate would be the same. It is of course problematical what bearing the candidacy of Mr. Stevenson would have in the race next year with Senator Smith and Governor Blease as his opponents, but a disinterested opinion would seem to warrant ' the guess that Governor Blease would be the greater beneficiary, for Mr. Stevenson probably would draw his strength more largely from those who would support ; Senator Smith rather than from those who would support the Governor. Mr. Stevenson is a bright man and but for the unfortunate connection of his name with corporation legislation and corporation litigation would make the State a good Senator. ! Of the several new industres ( which might he established and 1 profitably operated in Fort Mill j there perhaps is none more need- 1 ed thun a fertilizer plant and ' cotton oil mill. Our farmers and | seedmen receive a large sum of money nr present in selling seed as a raw product, but with a i mill, enabling the trade to handle ! the seed as a manufactured pro-j duct in the form of oil, meal, j hulls and fertilizer the returns, each season would be much larger. Cotton seed shipped to other points bring a fair price, but shipped as oil the profit to the shipper is said to be almost doubled. Not only this, but the weal returned to the farms as, fertilizer, would save a lot of money, and as a cattle feed it is profitable, saving the buying of other feed stuff at high prices. As an employment agency such an enterprise would also prove helpful to the community, en-; abling a number of persons to earn good wages during a considerable period of the year, i What say our moneyed-men of the proposition? The Times will have much to say this spring about keeping the town Thuco io .. V?WW?I| A I1VI ?o 1 ivy reason why we should not have the cleanest town in the State, even if we cannot boast of the largest. Every man, woman and child in our town ought to respond to the appeals that are being m ide to make the town neat and attractive and clean and sanitary. It is only a small matter for each family to clean up its own premises, but with every family in town doing this the whole town will not only present an attractive appearance but will be more healthful as well. Let everyone join in this war against dirt, disease, rubbish, uj. li less and indifference to the public good. and when the town is in the condition it should be, let everyone help to keep it i i. In each locality there should ^ be some live, progressive farmer who would takf an inter- ; est in breeding and selecting and ( continually trying to improve * the cotton crop for local condi- j tions, says an exchange. That ^ farmer would not have to begin at the bottom, but could take ad- I vantage of what others have ac- j complished in these lines, and . start with seed that are known to be good. He can grow this ( kind till he has become thorough- < ly acquainted with both the good j and bad qualities, then begin i improvement for better adapts- 4 tion to local conditions. If this i? 11 i ? v t is careiuny carried out, eacn 10- | cality in the South can be growing cotton especially adapted to that section, and bred up so as to produce a good yield. Then j the farmers, instead of going to j the gin or collecting up their seed at random, can get seed at x but very little cost to them, yet seed that will pay them well for their time and trouble in the greatly increased crop that is J produced. . 1 This is the time of the year r when the old hen never fails to get into your neighbor's garden, s You know the result.

This will be a great convenience to the business com- t munity but what is more needed i is some arrangement whereby we can all get things on credit.
