McCoy A Formidable Candidate A mnncr fha nnl it i /?c* 1 aur\i*>a nto itiiiviif, vuw puimvai aopn am n to call at this office during the week was a dry land terrapin. He most have had an early start for he was scratching at the door before work time on Wednesday morning. We do not know what office he is running for. On his back was scratched the following inscription, "W. 1910", so we at least know when he started to run. If he proves as sharp witted as terrapin in Uncle Itemus' story, some of those who consider themselves good runners had better look sharp. * It is more blessed to extend the tlad hand than to point the finger of scorn. I y ^ - h^hlsil II n I'M II &i ' s JMg ^ A Big Night For The Juniors The Junior Order United American Mechanics, Council No. 37 will pull oft' the biggest I stunt of their career in Cnestertield to-night. An elaborate program of speeches and music has neen arranged for an entertainment at the Courthouse at 8:30 For those who care for ueithei speeches nor music there is still a strong attraction for ice cream will b? free. The Auxiliary Chapter, the "Daughters of America," will be organized. This organization offers many attractions to the ladies and it is hoped to organize a live council. New Candidates The first man to start in the race for the Superintendent of Education is Mr. B'. J. Douglass. It physical statue, native ability, p* pularity and an early start are qualifications that will count in this race, then "B. J.," as he is familiarly known, will run a good race. Hon. J. O. Rivers, of Mt. Oroghan, this week takes the step necessary to return to the as \ 8enibly. Whether Mr. Ilivers will have an opponent we do not yet know. It is generally conceded that he has made good, and the voters do not need to be told what to do with an officer who has made good. Mr. Roland II. Vaughn enters the race for the office of Auditor. Mr. Vaughn is probably not * ~ i * ? iwiuwii iu a great nmny voiers 01 the county yet, hut he is an ambitious young man with a pleas ing address and wc believe he ffi will be kindly received. Mr. ; B. I). McCoy goes after = the township conimissionership E of Alligator Township. Mr. Mc- E Coy is a live one and will give a E gcod account of himself in the = race. Mr. Tnomas L. Iiivers is going E to make the cotton weigher's E j >b at Chesterfield hard to catch. E Lie is a deserving young farmer.

When the American army went down to Cuba to clean things up politically and otherwise after the Spanish-American ' war, it found that Havana was one of the worst yellow-fever pest holes in the world. 9 The army surgeons learned that the mosquito was to j blame. They declared war on the mosquito. The weapons | in tkio ?????? "?Ax ~ iino ??ai nci c nui bwaiiurs. i nere was out one weapon? i sanitation. \ ! The city was cleaned with absolute thoroughness. Mosquito-breeding swamps were drained. Lakes and streams were covered with oil. Now Havana is one of the world's most healthful cities. The lesson taught fifteen years ago has been applied steadily by the Cubans. In this country the house fly bears about the same relation to typhoid fever and dysentery that the mosquito bears to yellow fever in the tropics. Both insects are dangerous germ carriers. This community ought to rid itself of flies. The means of doing so are the same as those employed in ridding Havana, the Canal Zone, Manila and New Orleans of the fever mosquito. But the job will not be nearly so big. Our citizens should call a meeting \ by the middle of next week and form an cjsSi^ organization to conduct the spring fly -swar. There is no time to be lost. Once warm weather arrives the flies will multinlv fastnr than we r.nn HI! thnm _ ILIW - i ^ ?- ? ?* - ? wi ? l?IU illWIII Let us act now! rour Orders for fresh Meat# and Urceerie# Telephoned to the yt. 9. ?>avh Market The Old Reliable Will Receive Prompt and Conscientious Attention.

The subject discussed was "Your Church, Your Home, Your Self." Knowing that he was speaking to many men who seldom attend church services, the preacher endeavored to prevail UDOI1 them to attend the rhnrr.h and Sunday school of then choice and to support all its in stitutions. Since the organization in Chesterfield of a loeal branch of the Equal Suffrage League, the question of votes for women has been a live one in Chesterfield. As Mr. Tyler is known to be opposed to the innovation, it was predicted that he would take this occasion to express his opinions ' clearly. On this subject, Mr. Tyler said, in part: "I am not in favor of woman suffrage, but 1 am in favor of woman's rights. There are those who say that woman's pla^e is ;ti the home. I agree with that, but there are some in this town who say her place is away back in the kitchen doing household drudgery. Where is your place? OtT on the bank of a stream fishing, under the shade of a tree, or downtown sitting on a goods-box spitting tobacco juice at a crack? "I believe in woman's rights. I believe she lias the same right to loaf, drink liquor and cuss that a man has. "there was a petition downtown against woman suffrage and it was enough to make any woman laugh to see a man too drunk to stand alone signing this petition and another too ig norant to sign his name, yet anxious to have his name written dewn as opposed to giving votes to women. "I am opposed to votes for women, but women have rights that ought to be respected. I am a woman's rights man." The sermon closed with a strong appeal for clean living. D. F. Nicholson, Farmer Some interesting information h 1 it ,n f flip sni'cPBa rif Mr 11 1<" Nicholson, of Mt. Croghan, as a farmer has been received at this office. For thirty-three years Mr. Nicholson has been a prosperous farmer. During that time In has spent but $.*'80 for work stock, which is evidence of th ? fact that he knew how to take care of his farm animals. During that time he has bought but one peck of seed corn and very little if any corn ior feed. He always has feed to sell. He has plenty of potatoes and never buys seed potatoes, lie finds there is tnore profit in selling seed than in buying them. Because of the fact that he has always raised an abundance of everything to eat on hisprei ises, both for stock and and his lamily, he was able to held hi1014 and 1915 cotton as long a< he wished. lie has raised a large family and has set an example in farming that many would do well to emulate. A Cotton Oil Mill At a recent meeting of the Chestei field Warehouse Co., it was decided to look into the question of establishing a cotton [seed oil mill in <'hestertield, Messrs. J. O. Rivrs, Charley Rivers and .J. T. Hurst are the committe appointed to investigate the matter. Land Posted I hereby forbid all persons treaspassing on my land. Cutting of timber, hauling wood, lightwood or treaspassing in any other way will be dealt with as law i may direct. W. (\ Purvis. The sage, with ail his wisdom, sometimes loses to the fool wh( , is a good guesser. Fair for Each Township The first step in an excellent move for the benefit of Chesterfield County will be taken this afternoon when Major W. J. Tiller, Miss Stella Minis and C. L. Ilunley, esq., will meet, a delegation of progressive Mt. Crog han citizens in tl.at wide-awake little town and organize the first one-day township fair. That Mt. Croghan is to be the leader in this fine move is probably due to , the activity of Mr. 1*. M. Ther re11, who has recently adopted that town as his home and has gone to work in earnest to aid in its development, \ It is hoped that this organization will inspire other towns, ] such as Page land, Jefferson, Mc- < Bee and others to do likewise. In this way a series of one-day | township fairs could be held all , over the county just prior to the j County Fair at Chesterfield. t ' The benefits to the townships ; and to the county as a whole to t he derived from this kind of cooperation would be very bard to . estimate. t A keen rivalry among farmers t of a community in an effort to j produce the hest exhibits and ^ between the several townships v for the best fair is sure to be a ( great stimulus to agricultural t improvement. If the good pe?.pie of other 1 f..?nrnoliino i t\ f Uo aah ? ,,..11 - ~ tuniiuiiijjo iii me i i/iniuj ? 111 arrange mass meetings to discuss this subject, Mr. lluuley, County Fair secretary; Miss Minis, home demonstration agent, and Mr. Tiller, farm demonstration [ agent, will gladly address these i meetings and assist in organizing the local fair. r Now let the progressive citi .j zens of each township get together and boost, for a township fair. , Every woman must have a pet. * If she can't have a cat or a dog, 1 she gets a n.an.
