Ho Is asking the voters of Anderson
county to give him the office of Pro
bate Judge. Mr. Cheshire is well known
throughout Anderson county, having
edited a live newspaper for a num
ber of years. He is on Governor
HI case's staff and is considered a
leader in politics in Anderson county.
Ho is a very popular young man aud
possesses ability. .He needs no in
troduction to the voters of his county,
and his friends will be very active In
bis race.?Belton Journal.
Col. V. B. Cheshire of Anderson Is
announced this week as a candidate*
for probate Judge. - He is running
ho loi y on his fitness for the. position
and has no other platform. He states
that he was not put In the race by his
friends, but is running because he
wants the office and knows he can fill
the place to the satisfaction of the
people In the city and county. Col.
Cheshire was editor of tho Intelli
gencer for many years and has a
strong following in this county.-^
Honea Pats Chronicle.
'* *' * Cheshirc-Js a born fighter,1
known as such by ovory reader of bis
paper. He is one of the most popu
lar and weit K?uvvii iuvi? u? the Third
Congressional District. Until recently
Col. Cheshire was. editor and proprie
tor of The Anderson Intelligencer, un
der his management prooably the|
most influential paper in upper South j
Carolina!?Seneca Farm and Factory.
* '* Col. Cheshire, as editor and
owner of tho Anderson Intelligencer
In years past, attracted a great deal
of admiration, and became well known
throughout .the congressional dis
trict, because of his decided and firm
stands on questions that were inter
esting tho public' He has always,
taken a great deal of interest in things
political, city, county and state, and
his friends urged him, to come out for
congress several months ago. He
received prom is es of support from all'
over tho district, and no doubt would
have been wall up'in. the running this

* Mr. Cheshire has many
frlendB and* admirers, and even those
who do, not agree with him respect
file, positive character, as he oxproRH?s
himself on all questions In n manner
not to be doubted.?Abbeville Medi
um. ?
* Mr. Cheshire Is one of the
hardest fighters and most untiring
workers in the district, 'and will
doubtless make' himself felt in no
.small degree in political circles. The
Courier and tho paper from which he
: has withdrawn .havo for many years
taken opposite sides lh matters of
state 'politics,- and While we seldom
agreed with his'position, . -we have
been forced to admire tho fairness and
frankness which characterised 'the
war, which he waged for what ho felt
' was for tho best. We. are sure that
he felt aa he fought, though we by no
means agreed with the measures for

During Mr. Cheshire's years of ser

a Conf?d?rale Veteran he had never
met.) ,
Piedmont, S. C, Aug. 30, 1913.
Mr. V. B. Cheshire?Dear Sir: It's
very common to send greetings and
congratulations to parties, but I'm
Bending yon REGRETS. I see by
yesterday's Greonvillo News you have
sold out The Inlclligencor. (I sup
pose it will . still be . published, of
course.) It's a paper I've stood by
for many, many years! have some
copies of tho paper before tho war.
Moro especially have I stood by It
since you havo been connected with
it. True, I've not said amen to every
thing you'vo said and done, but you
have Stood for and advocated things
that I ADMIRE.
You havo stood for JUSTICE and
BIGHT between man and man as you
saw It.
Vou hove stood by the farmer and
championed hla cause when he was
down..
You havo stood by th? poor man and
his family. y
You have stood by the laborer for
a square deal.
Furthermore, you have advocated
measures that caused yob to be un
popular with bo nie and.yet the parr
ties have, been forced to acknowledge
I the wisdom of your stand.
I I'm satisfied that a man that edits
a newspaper or manages it, and does
it fearleasly, don't sail on flowery
beds, of ease.
I'm'down on this wishy-washy milk;
and cider business.
Another thing please allow nie to
ment inn. I like your mode of dealing
with politics. Give every 'man a
square deal. There's more rottenness
now in politics than anything else.
There are other things-1 might say,
but perhaps you may think it silly in
me to write you as i have.
t if you are actually going out or the
newspaper business, i suppose you
think you see. something better, ?nd i
hope you do.
\ What I havo written you has been |
clone UtrbUgh the kindest feelings. .
Here's hoping -that peace and har
mony, and good will may pervade our
lar)d.

WHAT 18 LIFEl
The question, Whai is your life?
naturally suggest four divisions:
1. What is your life physically?
2. What is your life mentally?
3. What is your life morally?
4. What is your life sol ritual I y 7
Take a mun and remove from him
all will power; he becomes a degen
erate, a mun Without a character.
Next, remove from him ull intellect,
and without power and intellect he
becomes the most helpless of idiots.
Then removo from him all sensibility
-the faculty by which he feels pain
and pleasure?and without will, intel
lect and sensibility you will have t
mere machine, the physical man.
Take a grain of wheat, grind it on a
mortar until it is separated into the
most minute particles and then place
these particles under the most pow
erful microscope known and even then
you cannot discover life.
A celebrated scientist defined lifo
as the adjustment of iuncr organisms
to environment. But the mind of man
hau not yet solved the mystery. (Jod
alone knows the secret. There are a
great many other things we do not
know. We do not now what electric,
ity Is, although that mighty force was
odd when Benjamin Franklin
discovered the- existence of such n
power. Neither do we know what
matter Is. Oui' text-books on physics
toll us that matter is composed of
molecules and molecules of atom,*;,
and atoms of millions of ions?and
what Ib matter? The best sclent!
minds of the world answer, "We do
not know." ?
What is our life mentally? The
psychologist tells, U9 that u-?ind is
that which feels, wills and thinks: it
is the conscious self the ego; but the
question, what is mind, still romaine
iiiaiitswurua. wnat a wonderful thing
is mind! They tell us that the dis
tance from the earth to the sun Is
93J0OO.00O miles. Traveling at the
I rate of 60 miles a minute, day and
night, it would take 1,769 years to
reach it. Put into our physical man a
: trained mind, and we have made one
I more step toward the ideal man.
Mind Is necessary to progress. The
bird makes its nest exactly as its an
cestors of 1,000 years ago. No mind
?no progress. Mind is responsible
for the great discoveries of the nine
teenth cetnury. Within that jentury
says Alfred F'asscll there were thir
teen inventions of tho first rank?rail
ways, Bteam navigation, electric tele
graph telephone, friction matches,
gas lighting,, photography, phono
raph, Roenten rayr, spectrum anaiy
Isis, use of anerthetics, and antisep
tic surgery..
Whai is your life morally?
Mental life deals with tho intellect,
moral life with the will. But the
mental and moral are closely con
nected. As a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he. We have put into our
I sensible physical man a trained
mind. We have not yet a guaranteed
man of worth. Bacon was known a*
I the wisest of men, and the meanest.
We must now add moral worth, for It
Is tho balance wheel of every tndTvia
ual, and of society as well.
What is your life spiritually?
{This Is the most Important question.
Eternal life is not a vapor. Physical
life Is a vapor tfog), but eternal lite
is a never ending sunshine. You may
have a strong physical body, a train,
ed mind, and bo morally good (in the
commonly accepted meaning of thai
phrase) yet miss real life. The tes
timony of many attests tho truth ot
tho statement. Each man tries to
Und lifo in his work, but real lifo lies
back of It.
To the preacher life's a sermon,
To the miser life 1b money.
To the loafer life is rest.
To ehe lawyer life's a trial,
To the doctor life's a patient
That needB - treatment right along.
To the teacher Hfo's a school;
To the soldier life's a battle,
1 Life's a good thing to tho grafte
It's a failure to the fool.
To tbe man upon the engine,
Life's a long and heavy grade;
To the merchant life is trade.
To the rascal life's) a fraud;
Life is but a long vacation -
To the,man who loves his woFi
il/fe's ah everlasting effort
To shun duty, to the shirk.
To the Sternal Christian worker
LlfeH a story ever new ;.
Life Ib what we try to/make-it
Brother, what is life to you?
Real life is not a property of physi
atoms, nor. does it lie In mental at
tainment, in occupation or the wealth
we possess, but in the t which Inspires
us to live for eternity. For what is
man profited it he shall gain the
whole world and lose his own soul 7
Or what shall a man give In exchange
for hia soul? Bringing the question
still " closer, which would yon rather
have. If you had to make a choice?
nn? inmiir<v* mlllinna if dollars, lands,
housep, automobiles, etc., or a sore
hope-of eterna) life? Ah, physical
life Ib but a vapor but eternal, tire
endures. Our Savior said: "Whoso
ever liveth and bellevetb in Me shall
never die." Thflhlstoryof Christianity
has been one of sacrifice. The real
pillows of our churches are not thoso
of wood and stone, which you see.-but
they ar e the consecrated lives of. men
and women whose sacrifice has made
Its existence possible. Thus it has.
been in all ages. Would you know
what real life is? Seek "Christ. Phil
lips Brooks, when asked what was the
greatest text said: . There Is only
one text?"I am come that they might

(Political Advertisement)
I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of Rail
road Commissioner, subject to tlu rules of the Democratic primary
I believe in being fair to the railroads, and then require them to
be fair to the people, giving them the best service possible, with .!',
convenient schedules, and make all reasonable stops at stations and
flag stations for the convenience of the patrons of the road; furnish
comfortable, sanitary depots, fully equipped with lights, fuel, water,
etc., at all times maintaining a good road bed to insure as far as
possible safety to the traveling public, always furnishing neat, com
fortable coaches. A great effort should be made to so arrange the
schedules as to make close connections at all connecting points, there
by causing as little delay as possible to the traveling public. I favor
an interchangeable mileage book good on all roads within the State
I stand for the best telephone service, giving to the small towns
and the rural sections as good service as the large towns receive. I
favor a reduction of the express rates, as they are now too high in
many instances.
South Carolina should enjoy as low freight rates on any and
all commodities as any of our sister states. I believe that all claims
should be adjusted by the railroad agent at the time or within ten
days after the shipment reaches its destinatin with a shortage. The
law as it now stands is inefficient to cover practically every view
herein expressed and the Railroad Commission has authority to exe
cute them without delay. L
lf I am elected you may expect me to strive earnestly to bring |
about these, with many other changes that will be helpful to all classes
of our people.
Respectfully,
J. H. WH?RTON.

SEW EH AUE IN THE COUNTRY
One great problem peculiar to tbe
ural districts Is that of tho proper
lBposal of organic refuse and similar
/asto matter. In the cities.such mat
er is completely and satisfactorily
aken care of in the modern sewerage
ystcms, and thus the city Is enabled
o preserve a cieaniiness which is of
reatest aid in fighting disease.
When such matter, is allowed to
tand in the open, as every rural res
lent knows, it becomes a awarming
lace for flies and a hot bed Tor dta
ase germs; it poiutes the r* i and tho
risking water, and Ib always an un
'.s'-.t'.y and emberriuutinK nuisance,
luch conditions. are generally tbe
ause of sickness and disease.
The Sanitary Septic Tank, espcclal
v designed along Improved lines, for
so in the rural districts, ana manu
actured by Weston & Booker, Co
mnbia, 8. C, completely sorves the
roblem of eewage disposal for the
ural homos. It is of small sire,
lade of reinforced concrete simple,
asy to install, never gets out of or
er -nor needs attention. Placed
net beneath the surface,? and conn
ected with the house by a short pipe
Ine, it securely keeps the poisonous
rganlc waste matter enclosed until
y natural process, it disintegrates, |
nd then seeps out Into *tbe ground, ,
ormlesa mineral matter and water. t
here Is no odor, no soli pollution,
pproved by health authorities.
Its cost is small. It affords all the
orveulences and tho full protection
f the- city sewerage system. It Is
