There are periods in the life of every individual, every business and every town wheu this question must be faced. It seems that such a time has arrived for Chesterfield. This town has apparently reached a sta^e in its develop nieni wnen it must take a step forward or must stagnate, which shall it be? First and most important of all, we need a live board of trade. This we must have and now is the time to put such an organization on footWe suggest that a mass meeting be called in the near future and a board of trade be organized and set to work. It is doubtful if any town can accomplish anything noteworthy for itself without a board of trade. Second- We are ideally situated for the installation of water works at a minimum cost Nobody needs to be told that we need it. There are sickening stenches wafted on every breeze; there are myriads of llies laden with filth that ought to be carried off by sewers. Undoubted ly the present conditions are fraught with danger to the health of our entire population. Then there is the terrible fire risk. A big tire started on Main street, and the business section of Chesterfield will be quickly in ashes. This towu has no bonded debt. It has money in the treasury and taxes are light. Water works would be self-sustaining through water rents. The reduction in fire insurance rates would be considerable. We cannot afford to be longer without water works and sewers! PAYING TRIBUTE The good State of South Carolina pays an annual tribute to other states in the union of $13,900,000 for the privilege of eating their inferior canned goods So far as this State is concerned here is a clean waste of $ IB,900,000. It is a safe assertion that every penny of this vast sum could be kept within our bordrs?if we only cared for the money. The shelves of every grocery store in South Carolina are loaded with this inferior foreign, factory-canned stuff when they ought to be loaded with our own products, clean and wholesome, canned by 1.000 canning clubs throughout the State. het the girls of Chesterfield County see that they get their share of this pile of money. THE BALANCE OF TRADE Here is something for the calamity howlers to put in their pipes and smoke?that is, if they can stop howling long enough. The month of March was the greatest month for foreign trade that the United Mates has ever seen, not only as to value of export but imports. I?\>r the fiscal year ending April 1st there was an increase of imports of *24 per cent over last year and exports were 50 per cent increase in same ] Ci iod And the New York Independent asks: ''Are there to be any limits to our prosperity?" The Independent, established in 1M48, has swallowed Harpers Weekly, establised in 1H57. The Independent has been a great and useful weekly Now that it has absorbed "The Journal of Civilation," as Harper's was won't to call itself, its usefulness will be much enlarged by the addition of so many new readers It is said that Villa, who is very much alive, has changed his name. Now if he would only change his nature Mexico would fare better. Mrs. Goode, a Kentucky lady who swallowed a needle twenty years age, had it removed from her side. Mrs. Goode is now better.

The Hon. W. F. Stevenson is Chesterfield's logical candidate for Congress from this district.

It is reported to this office that! in a spirit of levity many citizens . have encouraged one of Chester-1 field county's pereuial Candida-! dates to enter the race against, Mr. Stevensou. If this county had nothing at stake the joke might be allowed to pass unchallenged but for all we know, this race may possibly be a close one and a very few votes sacrificed to fun may deprive Chesterfield county of a representative in Washington. HELPING THE FARMERS When the bill to increase the efficiency of the military establishments of the United States? the proposition for the government to mauufacuture nitrate's advocated by Senator Smith?of South Carolina, was opposed by Senator Hardwieh of Georgia. His opposition was based up ?n the fact that the plants when not manufacturing nitrates for the army could be used for makiug nitrates for fertilizers. It is almost inconceivable that a Democrat, and a Southern Democrat at that, would oppose the government aiding the farmers by making fertilizers. Sentor Hardwick's opposition to Senator Smith's amendment was that it was a Socialistic measure?that the government should not en gage in manufacturing nitrates for fertilizers for that reason. Senator Owen replied that the measure had the very spirit of Democracy: "Democracy means the rule of the people for the people -for all the people?for their happiness, health and efficiency." Senator Underwood of Alabama, discussing the conference report said : une ol the things we are driving at is to make fertilizers. I think that is a most important tiling, a thing that is close to my heart and close to my people?a thing I want to see accomplished. The primary pur pose of this hill now and in t he future, is to supply the nitrates to protect the government in time of war." But as shown by Senator I Smith, Senator Underwcod and : others the plant when not mak ing nitrates for the army, could i cheapen the prices of fertilizers. , If that be treason make the j best of it. It is good Democratic i doctrine to help the the people when and where they need help We suppose half the enmities in this old vale of tears are born of mutual misunderstanding, and the leason that fellow thinks you are a pin headed little ass is because he suspects you thiol? him a piuheaded little ass And the chances are that you are both right.?The State.

Beneath the shadow o the pyramids Napoleon said t< his troops: "F >rty centures lool down upon you." In the shadov of the big trees of California oix might say: "Eighty centurie look down upon yon." Then are trees in the grove estimatec by scientists, among them .Johi Muir, the eminent nat iralist, tr he 8,000 and even 10,000 years old. The oldest living things in the world today are these giant trees Also the species of vegetation tc ( which thov belong is the oldest in the world.

M.C. ltd Dangerous to Allies x Home?Orders have been issued to Italian soldiers not to eat any Am.-rioan frozen beef or cauned meat unions it is shredded. Recent consigcmonts to Italy from Chicago were said to contain small hooks and prongs which, it is suspected, were purposely hidden in the frozen and potted meats with the object of disabling the soldiers, causing an ulceration of the intestines. An investigat ion has been ordered with a view to ascertaining the responsibility of the packers, who, it is feared, have Austrian and German workmen in their employ. An Honrabie Desertion Home?An Alpine soldier named Finimondo, who in the Tripoli war single handed killed seven Arabs, using the bayonet, was sent to the Italian front Hiiuri>iy alter the outbreak of war. Recently growing disgusted and tired of trench warfare, he had deserted. Since apparant proof of his desertion was avail' able he was court-martaled in his absence and condemned to die as a traitor. Finimondo has ' now unexpectedly retuned, 1 wearing the uniform of an Aus' trian ollicer. He reported that he purposely deserted with the k object of securing valuable in? formation from the enemy and * thus earn another medal similar * to that, which he wa- awarded in the Tripoli war. The "den r er" explained that he used stones to * kill Austriaiis guarding him, in8 eluding an ollicer, whose uniform " he was now wearing. He then 8 collected such valuable informa* tion with regard to the Austrian * positions, strength, location and c their guns that tie sentence of 8 death was revoked.
