Hanna. authorized representative. While holding court at Ashville N.C. Judge Long had his hat stolen. Both justice and the Judge must have been blind. The recognition of Carranza as the rightful ruler of Mexico is , the best that can be done under the circumstances, but from this distance it looks as if there was not much choice in rotten apples Some newspapers and some politicians are having lits because of the proposed loan of half a billion dollars to England and France. These "Wise- men of Gotham" and others like their famous prototypes who went to sea in a bowl can only see one side and that the wrong side. As the Atlanta Constitution ' shows very clearly the loan will put half a billion dollars or more1 iuto actual circulation in Arnerica for further accumulation and building of savings deposits, as ' payment is mado for the goods ' which are shipped to France and 1 England. The Constitution pertinently says: "The political fakers are aimply attempting to take advantage of those Americans who neglect to think or who do not have time to think about much else than their own business; and through this effort they are trying to work up a sentiment that is directly opposed to this country's best interests." :4- J tu.i iU!., < >v iiuii it im tuiiMuert'u tiiau tins loan is solely for the purpose of buying in this country agricultural and manufactured products these objectors ought to, (excuse the slang) "go awaj back and sit down" and stay down. "SOUTH CAROLINA HRST" This is an excellant motto for all South Carolinians, but Chester-1 lieldians should go the state one! better aud say "Chostcrtield | County first " 6,000,000 CABBAGE PLANTS Count them yourself if you don't believe it. We believe it so don't have to count them. Mr. j Douglass says ho has them and J his veracity is unqucstion. What, we wish here to emphasize is not alone the size of Mr. Douglass' cabbage patch but the enterprise and faith of the planter. Mr. Douglass knows his territory; he knows that there is no soil' bettor suited to the growing of, tine cabbage than in this county; and he knows that if everybody in this county who needs his plants will buy them he will not have enough to go around. SECRETARY McADOO The St. I?uis Republic pays a brief compliment to Secretary W. (j. McAdoo upon the occassion of his visit to that city. The St. Louis paper calls attention to the fact that while Secretary Mc Adoo has only held office two and a half years he has had a large share in shaping legislation, has changed the fundamentals of the currency and banking system, has stood with his hand on the tiller during a financial crisis that paralized every stock exchange in the world- The Kepublic says truly "When President Wilson came South to select the Secretary of the Treasury he made no mistake. He not only got a tine Secretary of the Treasury, but a son-in-law of whom he may be justly proud." ALMOST MISSED IT Some one has made the start tling discovery that the Declaration of Independence came very near defeat when it was being voted upon in Philadelphia. One delegate was absent and his \ote was needed to pass the great Declaration of Indepence and thus - . give to us the Fourth of July cel' ebration and a good many other things. The Chicago Post says a rapid rider was sent to bring in the absent delegate. He rode faster than John Gilpin or Paul Revere and he brought in the delegate. The declarat' a do bates and proceedings w. .e secret, but there was a story well ^totieved that the resolution carone vote. We quote the following from The Ir dependent of Oct. 25th : IF there is any justice iu the uourso of history the end of the i Turkish Empire musi be not f?r ofF. What a happy, what a glo- yy rious conclusion of an inglorious history that will bu! W We anticipate, notwithstanding Germany's magnificent attack and defense, that the Al lies will wear her out- and the pr_ GO two empires she has led. But. ar whutever the result of thi% war, l-.< Turkey as an independent power will be wiped off the map I. ^ Germany ^ins Turkey will be of under her sphere of influence, ^ independent only in name; il jn the Allies win the Tnkrish Em- m pire will be blown to the foui 81 winds of heaven, and this u what we di voutly hope for and believe. The Turkish rule for the past ^ live centuries has insulted heaven. 1* has been a rule of cruel- f~ ly, murder and lust, and Iht I present attempt to exterminate I its ChrisJun su! jects has simpl, | liiie.l up the measure of its | wrath. Of the facts there can jj be no doubt, from many sources jjj >f information, from American ? citizens escaping the massacre?, ^ and now fully confirmed by Ambassador Morgenthau. The Turkish rub rs made a suic'dal blutis der when they put. themselves under tne orders of Berlin, and they must sulfer the consequences. Beyond the present horrors we lo< k forward to the happier davs- [_ when Moslem rule shall be ended. The Turkish Empire covet < the choicest region historically of all the earth's surface. It y ields not even to Greece. There ia human history begins. There CJ ruled Babylonia, then Assyria, ^ then l'ersia, then the Macedon- tr ian Empire, then that of Home, t* till Constantine established his jJ capital on the Hellespont and ti ruled the world from the city *( tint bears his name. Within what is now the Turkish Empire 8] the three great historical relipi- a ons, the Hebrew, the Christian ? ami the Mohammedan, hud their v origion. w The revolution will be a re- s naissanee by which these uncient lands, so long opprest, come tl under the rule of civilization, n for Turkey lias never risen out n of barbarism. n American traveler, riding from sunrise to sunset in the incredibly fertile ^ valley of the lower Euphrates, p saw not a single man or beast, tx only the remains of former irri- * gation." Reaching at night u ti miserable village of agricultural l< Arabs, he asked why the land 1! hud been deserted, and was told <1 that some years lit lore the the 11 Turkish ruler doubled the taxes, and when the people could not 8 pay he shut oil the water from b their irrigating cannals. The ? c< people died of starvation or fled the land. That was Turkish rule, ci British aro marching on Bag- * dad. They will hold the valley t] of Tigris and Kuphrates. They r< have had their eyes on the rail- 11 road connection with India ever since sixty years ago Colonel a Chesney mapped the route along the Kuphrates. England holds F the Nile and Bagdad will he a British capital, and once more the desert shall become a Garden of Kden and populus as in the days of old. The Arabian coast from tile 1'orsian Gulf to ? the lit d Sea will equally he under British rule, with a fair hope for the renewal of the old fame of Arahy the Blest. From y< the north Russia will allow its- [h fugitives to return to Armenia sl and win noui mat splendid regi 011 under pome such independent a' rulo as it promised Poland. Con C1 stantinople as a new capital o' tii Kussia, or as a free city under h' the protection of the powers, jj will again llourish as the emporium of the world. Asia Minoi n( and 8>ria will he porti ned out ui under the control of Kuropeat nations, and wealth and enter v< prise w.,1 flow in a golden stream. Jj* while the scholars of the worh h( will for centuries search th? sj ruins and mounds for the recov ered records of ancient civiliza J'1 tion. Or if the Teuton hosts prevai p the Turkish Knipire will remaii p; as a name and a lleshless ghos* ruhject to the will of its Germa* protectors. Kven so, harharisn w will go, and civilization wil come, imposed by force. The ol< * Mos'em power must end. Th world demands itj and in on. wa3d or another it will effect h whit it demand*. K 'ORKING FOR BETTER ROADS ??? ays In Which Department of Agriculture Offers Advice and Assistance?Free Lectures Given. Communities interested in the 1movement of roads aro recommendI by tho department of agriculture to >ply for a locturer on the subject, icturers will be sent at the governent expense wherever there is rean to believe that audiences will be rgo enough to make the expenditure time and monoy worth while, honever possible it is, of course, derabio for a number of communities the same vicinity to make arrangeents for lectures at the samo time, nco in this way the traveling ex5n3e8 for each stop made by tho loc;rer are materially reduced. The number of lecturers at tho dismal of tho department is limited, and is not always possible, therefore, to imply with every requeBt. When a > . '* itrified Brick Pavements for Country Roads?Fillina the Joints. icturcr cannot be uent, however, the eparlment will loan a set of suitable intern Blicles to any responsible loll association or individual who will ay the express charges. The only iquiroment is that the slides bo lade of active and practical use in 10 community and that they be reined in good condition in 90 days. 1 addition, a brief outline of a leciro to accompany the slides will be irwarded on request. In addition to this educational work le department is always ready to repond to requests for practical assistnco which may take the form of spoial advice and inspection, superinmdcnco of county roads, road surcys, experimental road work, bridgo ork, or the development of a model ystcm of highways for a county. To btain such assistance local authorles should secure a blank form from 10 olllce of public roads on which to lake applications. Requests from arporate villages or cities cannot be let, however. Rridgo work is one branch of road uilding in which the department may e of particular service to local aulorlties. Typical designs hnvo been repared and copies of these can bo irnished on request. A few minor Iterations would probably make such design suitable for special condlons. or an enginoer may be assigned j inspect the site and offer suggesotiB. In some cases designs by bridge amjianies have been reviewed by the epartment for the benellt of local ofcials. Possibly the most important way, owever, in which the department asists individual communities In the ettermont of their roads is In laying ut a model system of highways for a ounty which is about to expend a irgo sum of money on roads. In such ases the department assigns an enineer to make a thorough study of ne district. Ho ascertains where lie best road materials are, what oads are the most important, and, tiereforo to be Improved first, and rovldes for tho location of each road a as to secure tho host possible draingo and grade. :AMILY AVOIDS SERIOUS SICKNESS y Beihg Constantly Supplied With liitdford's Black-Draught.
