' 6 I ./I the State demonstration agent, the meeting was addressed by his representative, Mr. Hall, who told about the establishment of creameries in other places, their methods of organizing and success. He advised the immediate establishment of cream routes and the shipping of the cream to the Darlington creamery. In the meantime the surrounding country should be organized, farmers induced to increase the number of cows kept, to improve the grade; and in the fall they could successfully establish their own creamery. At least, dOO cows would be required to make it a sucess, and a capita! of not more than $.">,01)0. including plant. 8. C. Evans, the demonstration agent of Marlboro county, was lliere to urge the establishment of a creamery, and promis eu tnree ana perhaps lour cream routes iti upper Marlboro, with50 to 0<) cows to the route. He show ed that income from the cream would support the cows, ami that the sweet milk that would be left, besides having what was wanted for family use, would feed poultry and hogs. The four cooperative creameries now in the State make about 50,000 pounds of butter each month. Farmers get 82 cents a pound for their butter fat, and pay 2 cents a pound at the highest, often less, to the route agent tor collecting it. lie stressed the need of diversifying, athe bo'l weevi! would he with us- in live yeais, ami now the necessary steps to "prepared neon .'iiuuiu uu iai\ rn. 1 IK* V U i ton acrei-.ge should ho cut (iosvn, feed crops planted, live stock kept ami the march o' the weevil would not only be stopped, but the soil would be enriched and each farmer would have his own fertilizer factory. T. S.

A com m itee, with Mr. Mat lieson us chairman, was appointed to canvass this county and up Marlboro for the necessaiy number of cows and the establishment of cream routes.

W Long will he expected a this meeting to give advice ii the matter. A canvass of the meeting rt suited in the pledging of 80 cow by those present. Every on present, left feeling that a cearn ery was alreadv an assured thing, and that only the details remaii ed to be worked out. It is the intention to organiz creamery routes running int Chesterfield, where cream ea be collected and shipped to th central station at Oheraw. A those intei^sted in this territor should see Mr. W. A. Douglass, Mr. Will S. Jackson. Mr. W. S. Jackson died in ' heraw last Sunday night and was buried Monday. He was about 00 years of age. Okl-timers will remember Mr. Jackson as at one time one of the most prominent and highly respected citizens of the county. He served his county as representative in the Legislature and as couuty treasurer. He had a prosperous business lin Cheraw, but lost his wealth soon after suffering a stroke of paralysis twenty years ago. In hfs palmy days he owned a race horse that was the talk of the country. His death removed a good man who had served his people faithfully. Mrs. Rebecca Evans Mrs. Rebecca T. Evans, widow) of the late Oapt. Robert Evans, died ut her home near town last Thursday and was buried at the Evans' family burying ground on Friday, the funeral services being conducted by the Rev. J. L. Tyler. Mrs. Evans was 70 years old, ^nd was a life-long member of the Methodist church. She h-aves one brother, fc. W- Robeson, and a sister, Mrs. L. L, Spencer, and five children, T. K., i J. I)., R. E., M. T., Evans and Mrs. N. P. Evans, all of Ohest.esfield. Mr. John Lee Mr. John L?e, an aged man of the Zoar section of the county, .ift.pr a h.ii.T illiiP?<s rlipd Knnilau The Political Pot 7 Last week was notable in the local political field for tho number of new mouncements and I for the importance of tho ollices j represented in the list. There . were twelve new candidates to enter the race last week. I Unique among them is th card for Donald S. Matheson. , This card was presented by the - friends of Mr. Matheson in the i hope that he would make the i race. Iiumor has it that he has declined to run. Though this paper has announced its policy of "hands oil " among local candidates, it seems necessary to violate that policy and say a few words right here, j The editor is not acquainted with Mr. Matheson ami therefore 'can have no personal preference | in the matter. It is very important that we j send the best man to Columbia that can possibly be supplied to the place. At the last session Chesterfield had probably the strongest delegation in the State. Every ell'ort should be made to maintain this high standard of service. It is buHicient that the county seems united 011 this proposition and tl is unity also centers 011 the man Matheson. W e have so far heard only one reason advanced why he should not run?he i;? a busy man. This is also a reason why he should : accept. An idle man just now is not wanted. If what we hear is true, Chesterfield County has been good to Mr. Matheson. As a lawyer, his unusal ability was appreciated; for his righteous churucter and up-rightne-s of conduct in legal practice he has been revered, j When Ins health failed and lie | retired to his farm, the sympathy and love of a whole county went with him.# Now that his health has apparently returned, a united county looks to him, asking u service. This service 'cannot be rendered without sacrihee. This sacrifice is demand ed?we believe justly demand# 1. Mr. Matheson being a just m will surely make his airaiq merits accordingly and perform this service lor his county. Mr. M. S. Watson last week announced for the ollice of Treasurer. Mr. Watson's qualifications are well know, lie is one of the universally liked men and will poll a good vote. The office of Sheriff' entered the list with a vengence when Messrs. Douglass and Ingram began their duel to the death, so far as this office is concerned. ft i n u ?1 in i t f a ri t 11 i. i v li a k i II' I \ It 1 r* a\inn utcu imc* i unci in i/vu^ | I lass will be a bard man to beat, j I lie has served a number years j in this (?dice and has served well. I He is also a popular man. Mr. Douglass is-opposed by j the strongest man in the county. { It is said that Mr. Ingram, in temperament and disposition is 1 not unlike the present Sheriff. He also is admittedly a capable ' man. It is apparently a well matched race. In Chora w the ' other day a polical forecaster was hear d t o say that j r "Ingram will beat Douglass 8 to * 1." Another man, apparently as' well informed, on hearing . this, said. "I'd like to take his 1 money on that proposition, and , I'm willing to reverse the order s and bet that Douglass will beat > Ingram by 8 to 1." It will, to . nay ine least, ue an interesting s race. Another interesting race is t that for Clerk of Court. Mr. I. 11 P.
