ROTATION IN OFEICE | It is not the intention of this paper to take sides in the present campaign. We have uo | choice among the candidates for local oflices. They are all our friends and we are only sorry there is not a nice, soft berth for each one. There is, however, a pseudo argument going the rounds, about which we would like to express an opinion. We hear a great deal about "Rotation in Of lice." Men are heard repeating the phrase with the unction of a creed, little thiukiug that to change officers is uearlv always an expensive operation. Rotation of crops has proven beneficial to the land aud the farmer, enriching both. But aside from a similar sound in phraseology, there is no analogy between the two. Rotation in agricultural is a saving and building process. Rotation in office means the dismissal of an experienced officer, one who has gained experi- ^ ence at the expense of his em- ^ ployer, the county, for an inex- j perinced one, one who must very ^ likely begin at the botton and learn the office through a series of costly errors, as his predeces- , sor did. True economy, we believe. . would dictate the keeping in of- ^ tice indefinitely of every man who has made good. ^ For the good of the county in- ( competent men should be weed ( ed out. For the good of the j county, a mere rapty phrase , should have no weight in the election of oflicers. Public otliee should not be | looked upon as a gift, or mark of ( favor. Public otliee is a job where service rendered is the on j ly real test of fitness. , ?-? I SOME WISE LEGISLATION 1 The present Congress and the ' Wilson administration will go down in American history as the most constructive aud most ^ helpful of any Congress or administration of the present cen- j tury. As heretofore mentioned in The Advertiser the achievements of the preseut administration are really epoch - making j events. Three great measures which i have recently engaged the atten [ tion of Congress have passed, af- ^ I ter strong opposition bv Republican members of both branches of Congress. The bills were op- j posed by Republicans because ' they thought they were more j beneficial to the South than any other section. In fact they raised the sectional issue upon each ^ one of these great measures. The Shield Water Power Bill, a the Baukhead Good Roads Bill, t and the Glass Rural Credit Bill, t while of vast benefit to the South a are of vital importance to every i section and especially to the t heretofore neglected farming t interest. The Rural Credit Bill a was amended by Hon. A. F. ' Lever so that in case of an em- t ergency which might overtake v the land banks the Federal treas- t ury could deposit $500,000 to baitt; care wi nit: situation. ;>lr. i Lever advocated his amendment ably and earnestly. The aim ' and object of the measure was to i help the man who wants to nogo- 1 tiate a mortgage to buy a farm, or to pay off debts hanging over 1 his farm, and to get the money at the lowest possible interest. In the course of his argument, * replying to some criticisms, Mr ? Lever said "If there is any bet- 8 ter paper on earth than mort- 1 gages on good farm land I would 1 like to see the paper." This * Rural Credit Bill passed the c house May lu and as a similar ( measure had already passed the * Senate a conference of the two houses would perfect the bill. i In the Senate the passage of c the Bank head Good Roads Dill, f (a substitute for the house bill,) s makes another great forward I movement for the Country. The bill authorizes the Secretary of 1 Agriculture to co-operate with the States in the construction of rural poet roads, which mesas i I . , iSSi <l ? IF fi By Rudyah w If you can keep your hea< f?

The bill appropriates $75,000.;00 for the construe1 ion of rural )ost roads in the States and 10, 000,000 for building roads in ihe National parks. The money is not to be appro mated all at one time, but is spread out in this way. For the fiscal year ending June JO, 1017, the sum of $5,000,000 will be appropriated; for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, f 10,000,000; for the fiscal year mding June 30, 1919, !t>l5,000,>00; for the fiscal year year endngJune 30, 1920, $20,000,000, ind for the fiscal year ending Tune 30, 1921, $25,000,000. In European countries farmers iave been able to get money by their land banks at >i'A and 4 per :ent interest. By removing the ban ou real estate as c mraercial security farmers can get money from the land banks at a much lower rate of iuterest than they have been paying. The three bil's mentioned are lot all by any means of the great Measures that have been passed ly the present Congress. The amendment of Senator E I). Smith, of Scuth Carolina, to ,he Military Bill makes that a neasure of benefit to the farmer ilso. His amendment for the istablishment of nitrate plants is an agricultural as well as a nilitary necessity is considered i great triumph for the junior south Carolina senator. It seems that after the long 'ears of discrimination against tim the farmer and especially he southern farmer is coming nto his own. So mo^ it be. ECULIAR TEMPERANCE ADVOCTES One of the strangest teroper,nce societies ever heard of in his Country or any other was hat of the wholesale whiskey ind wine men recently convened n r^ouisville. One of the resolu ions passed was in favor of the .emperate use of liquors and igainst intemperate speeches by irohibitionists. National prohibiion is coming and the whosalcrs is well as retailers may as well ,ake notice. Those Louisville whiskey men emind one of the lines: "When the Devil was sick, the Devil a saint would be. Hut vhen the Devil was well the Devil of a saint was he.1' The whosalers are evidently tot feeling well. Mr. neury watterson in the Jourier-Journal takes this shot it Iloosevelt: "When the Colonel ind his four sons and one or nore sons-in-law go to war, as -he Colonel threatens, it will lardly be necessary to enlarge >ur army if they or 50 per cent >f them, can shoot as fast as the Jolonel can talk." The farmer was escorting the lewly arrived boarder, a young sity lady, from the train to the arm house, when all at onee she pied a small herd of calves in a ield nearby. "Oh," she cried, "look at the ittle cowlets!" Grinning, the farmer replied: "No, nnss: them'c bullets!?

Many Chesterfield County farmers well remember the trouble and loss caused by this pest last year. ^ Mr. W. Tiller, county demonstration agent, urges that this experience be not repeated this year. The favorito breeding places of this tiny spider are polk berry bushes, briar berrys, sweet violets, in fact all hedge rows acd weeds growing in uncultivated or noorloi'lu.l | wt nvf^ivvvwu pi?v>cn* i Destroy these weeds now, thus, , destroying the breeding places for these insects.

Wallace is stepping high. It is a fine boy. Messrs. Grover and John Griggs and Mrs. W. L. Griggs and Mrs. 1\ J. Sumner attended Mothers Day at Bethlehem recently. They report a line time.

The Lesson of 1898. / Not a great deal about the value of imp sanitation was known In 1898. he American army medical corps was ^not organized as it \ J1, is now.
