tfucceBsor to the Cheraw Reporter
which was established July 9, 1885,
and entered as Second Class matter'
at Cheraw, S. C.
The Chronicle is printing today the
rules governing the primary as adopted
by the State convention last week.
We believe this will be of more interest
and information to our readers
than the usual selections of miscellaneous
news items.
We are also sending out a few hundred
sample copies of The Chronicle.
This will be a good copy of the paper
for each reader to file away.
The main thing in the new rules,
or rather the important change is the
destroying of all old rons ana me
making of new ones. Every man who
wants to vote in the primary is'required
to sign the club rolls in percon,
an dhe must sign the club roll
in the club district in which he resides.
It will entail a lot of extra work
on the secretaries.
The thing for every voter to do is
to see that he signs the club roll
and he will be entitled to vote.
Many of the old rolls were incomplete
and had names on them of people
who had moved away and died.
The present plan will give a new
registration of voters and if all the
voters come forward an dsigni the
rolls will give an approximately correct
list of a!! the Democratic voters.
INSPECT THE ROADS.
Uncle Sam now permits road supervisors
or commisioners to ride with
the. earrlers over the free
delivery routes when the road offi
ciais are aciuauy engageu m me
performance of their duties in connection
with the inspection of the
highway.
The new order gives to district,
township and county officials of
highways the privilege of using the
mail wagons while the carriers aie
making their reguwiir rounds. It
enables the local officials to inspect
many miles of road and inspect them
oftener for I'ncle Sam has offered to j
pay the transportation cost. Many I
inspections will not mean now big |
bills for horse or auto hire.
This ad\antage shouldj bo taken i
wherever possible. Out of Cheraw |
the principal country roads are!
traversed by the rural mail men.

tboir daily rounds to lTnole Sain's
rural patrons. These patrons, the j
carriers and tlie goverment are'
vitally interested in better roads. I
In future they will have the blame |
upon themselves if a highway is in bad .
condition and the local authorities do j
not know it. Towns as well are vi-;
tally interested in 'lie improvement
and maintenance of the hipj:ways and
the matter is clearly up to the in-!
spectators, supervisors and commis-1
sioners with the added inducement of j
free transporta'ion.
It is to be hoped that advantages of j
the government's new ruling will be!
taken in this locality.
Local officials must continue ever j
vigilant, here is n chance and an aid !
for them to he so. Highways and j
their conditions must be kept in mind j
always if their maintenance is
to be conducted knowingly and I
systematically and ',':he government f
is showing a desire and willingness to |
do its part. Let us put the rural:

TO THE VOTERS OF CHESTER. !
FIELD COUNTY:
The State Convention has adopted
rules which requires a new enrollment
of all voters this year.
To enroll you must be a white
Democrat, twenty one years old
before the next General Election and
must have lived within the Sta'.e two
years and the Precinct sixty days
before the primary. You must enroll
personally and sign the roll
yourself.
You can enroll in only one club?
the one nearest to you in your township
or club district.
Now, it is important for every voter
of Chesterfield County to enroll,
hence let every club have a representative
at Chesterfield Coifrt House
on Monday, June 1st, to arrange for
this. The books will be there by
that time and must be opened by
Tuesday, June fith and closed on
Tuesday, July 28th, tin us giving seven
weeks in which to enroll, and it wi 1
be published where the books will
be for each precinct. Let every man
go and enroll and see that we have
our full vote enrolled.
After ti.;is year people who do not
move do no:*have to enroll in the
country any more, only new voters
have to do so, but the cities have to
enroll anew every election year. If
a voter can not sign his name to the
roll he can make his mark. No \YT.iite
man is to be denied the right to vote.
See that your name is enrolled. See
that your club is represented at
Chesterfield. C. H., Ju,ne 1st. I was
not a member of the convention, hut as
your member of the State Committee I
want to see every white democrat in
this county vote once and have his
vote counted and not have it killed
by some fellow voting three or four
times in the cities and big towns, as
have been done heretofore.

which are mistaken for silk ate really

TWO RIVAL
SYSTEMS I
i
By EDNA WARFIELD (
Mr. I'eulield was the proprietor and
editor of a newspaper railed the l"n
Ion. He had Ids own notions as to 1
bow a newspaper should be mndurted '
His plan was to please many persons
as possible. Miss Williams was a '
"new woman" who was supporting 1
herself by teaching. Mr. IVntield met '
her iiii<l was attracted t?? her largely '
on account of her force ot character <
and Intellectual abilities. Miss Williams
was attrarted to Mr. IVnlield
largely on account of admiration for
a man in power, for he was a man of
authority. Having under him suhcdi
tors, clerks, printers, etc.
There are as many kinds of newspapers
as there are kinds of men. Mr.
Penlield's policy was with a view to
making his paper pay or what lie '-onsidered
the best method of making it
pay. Miss Williams' idea of a newspaper
was an intellectual engine to
mold opinion. That Is what she supposed
Mr. I'onfield's paper to be. because
she supposed that to be what
newspapers are for. They became engaged.
One of the triumphs of the Union
was the election of the governor of tinstate.
for it was generally conceded
that the paper's brilliant advocacy of
the governor's side and stinging eon
demnation of his opponent and his
principles had secured the election 5
Hut when the campaign was over the 1
L'uion returned to its independence. (
which meant that it was at liberty to '
please the greatest number, thereby '
securing the greatest circulation and ]
consequently the greatest income from j(
advertisements.
A question of moment came up. in
which the governor took a decided j'
stand. It was supported by many and (
opposed by an equal number. Miss s
Williams supposed that her lover I

style of tlie editor in chief. It rend as '
follows;
It Is pcrtiaps loo earl.^ to dtse&ver '
whether the governor nns acted wisely In
the matter or whether he has been tr discreet.
No one will doubt that he has been
influenced by the highest motives, thouah t
there are those who will deny this, con- ,
sldering that his object is to fill his pockets
Even these will admit that his fire- '
vlous record has been free from making: ,
money by virtue of the official posi.ions
he has held. Tfe-re is but one charge (
against him that has never been.satisfactorily
answered, anil Ibis is balanced by
many acts that have redounded to the *
welfare of the stale. Those who supporl *
the governor's policy have the satisfaction
of knowing that In the many important 1
political ?|Uestions with which he has be n .
identified he lias te n.illy been right. Duly
in two eases lias lie be>-n wrong.
When Miss Williams read this lender
the l?!?aul ciime into her cheek and an
ominous light Hashed in her eye. Was
this molding pnhiir opinion'/ She liad

whoso intellectual strength had won |
her. (5rent was her disappointment j
l.ater in the day she took up the Senti j
lid. a paper that had Mttcrly opposeil
the governor's election, and read in an
article a clear, logical argument as t.
why the governor was right on the
piestidn at issue and calling on ah
good citizens to support him.

Max Norman, passenger agent for a
large transatlantic steamship line, had j
returned to him a letter that he mailed ,
to Captain Larson of the Swedish bark j
Superior more than thirty years ago. j
It was addressed tc the captain care
of the Swedish and Norwegian consul
at Marseille, France, and the envelope
bore the postmark, "New York, Octo- (
ber 3, 1883," and "Marseille, October \
18, 1883."
"That was written In Sweden to j
Captain Larson," Mr. Norman said re-!
cently, "by one of our clerks when 11
was with the firm of Bonham & Boyen-!
son. and must have lain all these years
in the consul s oflfce in Marseille. It
was to request the captain to sell her
when he arrived. He never came, and
I never heard what became of the
Swedish bark Superior."
The French postal authorities had
stamped the letter "Return New
