The Chesterfield County Convention
was notable for its representative attendance,
being composed of leading
men from practically every club in
the county, it was even more notable
for its unity and enthusiasm, especially
iu its actiou endorsing the candidacy
of Hon. W. F. Stevenson for Congress.
Partisan lines, which cut deeply into
his vote iu this county two years ago,
have been obliterated and a uiiiteu
county is behind hiin, and the enthusiasm
shown on the subject on last
Monday warrants the prediction that
his majority in tins county will be the
greatest ever giveu a candidate here
who had an opponent.
BETTER THINliS TO BEAD
A man whose occupation for years
took into the homes of many country
people has penned a few observations
that deserve contemplation.
"A hindrance to the advancement of
many children in the pountry." he
says, "is that in many homes one does
not find a newspaper, magazine or a
book. I have visited homes where ail
the reading matte 1 could seew as an
almanac. And in other homes I found
them reading the cheapest kind of matter,
costing about ten cents a year,
which they called a magazine,' lio
not tell me they could not afford better
reading matter, when they spend
money foolishly, oftentimes which h.
better be spent in good, wholesome
- reading matter. Such parents t<>.? often
blame their children for not advancing
more rapidly iu school criticizing
the teacher and school board, when
the real cause of their dissatisfaction
lies in their own homes."
we uo nut ueueve me percentage ui
homes like the above are auy longer
very high. That home of them exist,
however, there can scarcely be a doubt.
Good reading matter stimulates the
miud, broadens the mental horizon
and leads to higher ideals in life and,
above all, knowledge? and Knowledge
is power.
"I am not capable of discussiyg this
subject as ably as a scientific educator
does, "this man cuutiuues, "but 1
do know that the farm that is managed
pud operated by a man who has
intelligent and at least somewhat cultivated
brains is more productive with
less expenditure of muscle and fatiguing
work than it otherwise would be.
Truer words were never spoken.

under her arm, 011 her way to he
day's labor?and leeching. Coincident
ally in the same day's mail came i
clipping from the Augusta Chronic!
nf a recent date, in which Editor Ton
toy less treats the same subject. I
apitears that South Georgian's, a
least, and particularly in the growini
lown of Dawson, are getting thel
eyes oi?eii and their backbones stiff
ened, and have made the abolition o
.he cook's loot pan a commuuit;
movement
One noticeable result has been th
going to work of many negro men wh
have heretofore been parasites on th
community. The idea is well wort]
considering, even here in South Care
Iiua. where the cook's pan is eve
present
The Chronicle's editorial is as fo]
lows:
\Soiue towns, like some men, ar
I .on i great, some acnieve greauies;
iuit sutue Lave greatness thrust upo
tlieui. Or fume, which is a fairly goo
substitute for greatness.
"The good little city of Dawsor
la., has done the better thing, how
ever, and achieved foine; or, to b
more exact, greatness.
"Heretofore, Dawson has been ehiel
ly known to fame for having turne
loose upon the country more new?
paper men, of one bind and anothei
than any ether town of its siz
in Georgia. But Dawson was not con
tent to stop there; for whatever it
personages'?might do to carry Ih
town's name down to history, ther
was ever a local yearning for some
thing more practical; something tha
would confer a blessing upon the liv
ing as well, and confer it right ther
at home.
"So what did Dawson do? Why
Dawson simply, enacted a new cit;
ordinance that for uniqueness, as wel
as for practical results has no paral
lei in the aunuals of municipal legisla
tiou; while, at the same time, settini
an example for other towns, and cities
too, to follow.
"Dawson, like every other southen
town, has negro cooks of the feminim
gender. And fhese cooiks have?oi
had?pans; large tin pans, which wer
.sometimes, tin buckets or other larg
conveyors. These said pans, or buck
ets, were a part cf the daily apparc
of Dawson's negro cooks; a well reg
ulated cook being considered not prop
erly accoutered unless a tin pan, o
its equivalent, were a part of her out
tit. Coming to work in the morning
or going ihome at night, Dawson'i
negro cooks carried tin pans as th
accepted insignia of their rank an
culling.
"Then, ulu? and alack 1 some Daw
son genius, who sought the bubble rep
utation in local legislative halls, rati]
er than at the cannon's mouth, cam
forward with an ordinance making i
unlawful, within the corporate limit
of Dawson, for a negro cook to carr;
a tin pan, or bucket, in going to an<
from her work?particularly from.
"The possession of such tinware, a
such time and place, was, by solemi
enactment of the Dawson city council
decreed to be prima facie evidence o
intent to convert, secrete and appro
priate to one's own use?or that o;
some third person?the proiiertv o
another, consisting muinly of food
without the party's |;ubwledge ant
consent: the same constituting pettj
theft.
"Such was the anti-pan-totiug ord
inance of t^iis far-seeing southwes
(Jeorgia town; and these were its re
suits: According to the Lord Mayoi
of Dawson, Hon. John Mercer Bel!
'it has saved many dollars to the fani
ilies of Dawson, and it has causei
many negro men to go to work win
formerly were fed by the pan route.
"In other words, as Mayor Bell fur
tlier explains,
" 'The practice of cooks taking
houie with them all left-over and un
cooked foods had become a seriou:
item of exi?ense. It was u habit tha
the individual householder seemed un
able to stop. The ordinance was tin
only solution, and it has worked ad
miraldy.'
"So it has come to pass, that Daw
son is no longer known to fame mere
ly as the birthplace of some of th<
best newspaper men in the south?
which latter was not entirely of he:
own violation -but has suddenly leap
ed to a higher niche and must hence
forth be known us the home of th<
lawgivers, who are as wise in ther
day as was Solomon in his time; or
oven more so, for Solomon never hat
a pan-toting problem to solve and
probably, wouldn't have solved it s<
well as Dawson has had he been pu
to the task."

* a fin? sermon at the Presbyterian
' church last Sunday morning, and dey

0 Last Sunday morning at the Baptist

^ that the church had paid out for tiais

to the pastor and the members of the

Court adjourned late Saturday afe
ternuon. The last case disposed of

u the Seaboard Air Line, suit for per^
sonal injuries. Mr. Whitman was
hit by an engine of the defendant
l? eoniDanv while he was agent at
Kollock, S. C., and sustained injuries
e from whic.i he has never recovered.
The case was hard-fought, developing
many new and intricate points of law,
11 and it was a magnificent legal battle,
with Messrs. Pollock & Pegues of
'' counsel for the plaintiff, and Messrs.
e Stevenson & Prince for the defendants.
The jury found for the plain8
tiff in the sum of $10,000.

Th- appalling death-rate from kidney
disease is due largely to the
fact that the little kidney troubles are
i usually neglected until they become
- serious. The slight symptoms often
r give place to clneiic disorders and
the sufferer may slip gradually into
some serious form of kidney comr
plaint.
, If you suffer from headaches, back1
ache, dizzy spells; if the kidney se
crHiuns are irregular of passage and
unnatural in appearance, do not delay.
Help the kidneys at once.

before the House and then gave his
conception of the benefits to be derived
by the small farmer from the
j type of rural credit legislation that
he himself has favored for sometime,
' hat President Wilson favors, and to
w/nich the party is committed, but for
' Which there is small hope at present.
He also paid his respects to Presi'

crises iu our relations with Germany
