Hanna, authorised representative. i . * . ; < OUR PRESIDENT , In all the aotivities of life < there can be no higher test of < greatness, than the results that 1 follow these activities. There i must be certain endowments to < enable one to achieve greatness, c There must be iniative and con- < struct! ve ability, force of character, high moral purpose, zeal, patience persistence and sublime , faith in oneself. Never was there a finer example of iniative ability than when the Princeton professor emerged . from his quiet retreat and faced his fellow citizens from state to state proclaiming the New Freedom. So strongly, so clearly were Mr. Wilson's arguments presented that all the people heard him gladly and hopefully. A Wilson following prang up like magic. The National Democratic Convention regsitered the choice of the party and the people at the polls ratified that decision. Great things have been accomplished during the first half of President Wilson's administration. The legistation of the last Congress was the most important in the history ] of the country. That legisla- " tion was suggested and urged ] _ by the President. Congress was V held together by a master hand | and actually compelled to enact I this legislation. i Kidicled by adversaries as the * school master of Congress, he did * not control both houses but main J tained the respect and good will 8 of those who answered the roll 1 call. Greater than his party, he c reversed the platform upon which r he was elected and made Con ^ gress vote against Panama toll (exemption. r Senator Simrr.onds,referring to c the constructive work of Cong- 1 ress, initiated by the President, 1 said: * "During no year of our history and under no administration has so much that makes for the peace, t the happiness, the welfare, the * greatness and clorv of our com. i mon country been accomplished as during the lastyear." Here are summed up a few of j Lof the great measures urged i by the President and passed by * Congress. * A banking and currency bill j with reserve banks throughout the country to prevent panics , and tightness of the money marketA tariir act to reduce the high a cost of living. j Income tax, transferring the s burden of taxation lrom the poor v man to the rich?an equlization t I " * of (he burden of taxation, n Amendment to the Con6titu- u tion made effective, whereby Senators are elected by the people. i . A railroad to open up Alaska. Treaties with thirty governments, deferring hostilities for one year where disagreements between nations arise, t The Clayton Anti-trust Bill, preventing interlocking directors, stock watering, discrimination in price and control by one corporation to prevent competition. Parcel post and rural delivery perfected. Not only have these important things been accomplished ^ but owing to the wisdom and caution of the President we have been kept out of war with Mexico. "Watchful waiting." I Ka f uraa aH Ivw 4 Tf iiviivuiv/u i;j tn unu Willi wanted to precipitate war, has j proved to have, been the best ^ policy. The greatness of President ?# *- ? /Wilson has been farther shown by his dealing with Germany. When the Lasitania was sunk the situation was tense and danger^ ons. Put with a masterly hand ^ ' the President has conducted I negotiations that have shown the s I highest quality of statesman- * I ship* This too when deserted bj B his Secretary of State in the very I i.onr of his direst need. To this was added a personal loss of his B gentle life companion. Amid ah B the perplexities of the situation and the personal trials President Wilson has conducted the attain H of his great office with dignity m with courtesy and with the vers H highest type of statesmanship ^B and patrotism. fe \ It is ti topi a n for next winter cover crop. There will be little liairy vetch to be had in this country this year and hairy vetch is the only kind that Olemson College advit-l < s Sooth Carolina farmers to sow. | Oregon, or common vetch, does not do very well in this State. Most of 4he hairy vetch seed sown in this country comes from Kusria and the war has cut off imprortations. It will be possible, however, for farmers to get plenty of burr clover seed, and they are advised to sow tl.is and crimson clover for_their winter legumes. usmfi this coming Fair sopi on attract* on that onr qyn county and neighboring counties will bring bo it the be? producte of their farms. The annual fair cannot mly be made a season of family ind friendly re-unions, but an occasion for comparing farm proiucts and learning much of the best method of culture. The fair nay be a veritable school of ininstry, where all, both young ind old, may learn the best ways )f making farming a success There will be some politics in South Carolina next year, with miphasis on the "some." There's i score and more of big politici' ins, each one of whom has a bee n his bonnet?May the best man vin! It pays to trade at home. It mya the community; it pays the u^ai uiciuiiaiiii, miu most convincing of all it pays the buyer. Sot long ago a man living in Uhesterfield ordered a cross-cut >aw from a mail order house in die north. He paid $2.25 for .he law and 85 cents for express, a :otal of $3.10. He could have bought the same saw from a Jhesterfield merchaht for $2.75. [lepaid cash of course; he could lave bought on time at home. 3n this deal the town lost; the merchant lost; the buyer lost; This performance is repeated vith nearly every order sent out :rom town. Let Chesterlield County take 'ull advantage of the opportunity o be offered by the coming -Lome Department Institutes. I'll is county had to take a back :eat at the rppont, Sum. ner Normal in that line of enleavor. Tomato clubs and kinded activities have proven to be rery profitable when introduced. Chesterfield has all the resources lecessary to excel in lhi6 enleavor. She has the intelligence, die enterprise and the produce. \11 that is necessary is to get iogether and get busy. Ilotne coming week and the Conference for the Common Good vill be observed at Lancaster, \ugust 10 11. Joseph l'endhayn, the aviator vho is to give an exhibition of lis skill at the fair in November accredited with a record-breakng flight in California, when ho lew from l'etutuma to Santa vose, a distance of 14Vi miles in 12 minutes.

Tiller can furnish information as to where it can be obtained. The demand is so strong that it is not probable that prices will be lower than at present. The most economical method of supplying the much-needed humus to the soil is by growiug winter legumes and turning under in the spring. THE RED SPIDER AND DRY WEATHER The exceedingly dry weather of the past few days has had a decided effect in the spreading of the red spider. The fact this kind of weather is so helpful to the destructive activities of the pest is an imperative reason for conetant vigilence and effective action on the part of the farmers. me recent rains may retard the the spider's activities to some extent bnt cannot be relied upon for any considerable aid in that respect. An eroneous statement was made on this subject last week, when it was said that dry weather was unfavorable to the spread of the red spider. It is all tco favorable to his reign of destruction. Pee Dee Summer Normal Encouraging reports are received of the work done at the Pee Dee Summer Normal. There were more than 150 teachers in attendance and the course of study was comprehensive and thorough. Excellent lectures were delivered by prominent educators. j An excellent feature of the school was the wnrk rlnnn ho- thA < Home Demonstration Workers. For some unaccountable reason, Chesterfield, withits vast resources in material, was not represented in this department. In other lines of work Chesterfield was unsurpassed. Our Correspondents Good letters have been received from Yaughan School House and Snow Hill. Owing to the crowded condition of the paper, they were omitted this week.
