A BAN GIBRALTAR, OF YOUR HOM ie. i to Your Wife hildren US' BANK The Chesterfield Advertiser PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Subscription, $1.00 a year. Advertising rates furnished on application. Entered as second-class matter at the postotlico at Chesterlield, South Carolina. e lWI I, II. MKARN Editor and Publisher, ery AN INCONSISTENT PLATFORM ork The platform of the Republi can party put forth at Chicagt is as inconsisteut as the part> has ever been. Referring to tht \? ; ? 1 meAicar. trouoie the platforn: says homes have been destroy t<>88 e(j^ the country devastated will American citizens murdered anc ? 1 then denounces President AVil ther son's policy of interference wit! _ the affairs of Mexico. It ii equally inconsistent in its atti tude ou the subject of Prepared ness. It says "In order to main tain our peace and make certair the security of our people withir our own border the country must have not only adequate bui thorough and complete nationa defense, ready for any emergen cy." It then condemns the ex penditures of Congress m"ad< necessary for the very defence that another plauk of the plat form says is needed for the safe ty and security of the country te Consistency was not in evidence in the Chicago Convention. The finances of the country and our foreign relations in tim( of peril have beeu so prudently managed by President Wilson's administration that no loonhok has been left for the Republicans to get in a saue objection. Poi this reason the G. O P is com pelled to deal in generalities ant political platitudes that do no' come within a mile of meeting ?? the issues. They condemn th< President in one paragraph foi doing in Mexico what in auothei part of the platform they saj ought to be done. They are st hard pressed for arguments thai with them as was once said ir the pulpit by a minister arguing against a certain theologica tenet: "You are damned if dc and you are damued if you don't." The Atlanta Constitution intimates that the Democratic donk ey hee-hawed when the G. O. P. and the Progressives both nominated presidential candidates. LOUIS D. BRANDIES The independent, that ably edited journal that has been supposed to lean to the Repulican side in politics, in referring to the appointment of Mr. Brandies as an Associate Justice of ? the Supreme Court, says; "Mr. Wilson can ask nothing bettor that to have the Brandies issue , brought before the voters in November." It also says: "The Republicans by making it a party issue and voting solidly in opi position have committed a serit ous blunder." The Bditor of ! The Advertiser has a kind feeling for Mr. Brandies because i "he was born and bred in old Kentucky," the editor's native ? state. i A TRIBUTE PROM THE NORTH The Outlook, edited by one of ' the most gifted of Northern writa ers, pays this tribute to the South in a recent issue. "A m burden was laid on the impover | ished and saddened south when the hordes of untrained negroes, reckless and intoxicated with their new freedotp, were sudden ly turned loose on the society of their late owners. Here,was a r proDiem wmcn nad never been given to any other people to solve. How bravely, wisely and unselfishly they have faced their difficulties ind how nearly they have solved their problem in fif ty yoarys all the world knows." Texas has sold the first, bale of cotton of the 1916 crop and it brought #1 56 a pound, but she wont sell any more cotton at that price. ^ When Professor Pen Goochiow E left China he ought to have left his name with them. B. Good Now would be a tine slogan for John Chinaman. The Cincinnati Southern rail k way has arranged to put over '' two million dollars in new equipment. It will buy 24(X) new cars and engines besides other investments. That does not look much (like har^l times. CAPT. W. T. THOWER. I In this issue appears the card of Capt. W. T. Thrower of Cheraw as a candidate for Railroad Commissioner. There has been nc I time in the history of Chester tield county when a close touch - with tho Railroad Commissioner was more needed than at th present. If Chesterfield countj Democrats will do their part - and give Capt. Thrower a sweep > ing majority we have every as r surance'from his past recorc ; that the county's best interests i will be closely watched. ROCKING THE BOAT I The picnic season is on us ant " we give our yearly admonition t< 1 the fat-head who rocks the boat } The Republican candidate foi the Presidency of these Unitec - States, to the great joy of tha - hyphenated body the Un-Ameri i cans, is trying to change the po 1 sition of two letters and make i 7 the Untied States. Admittinj, ^ for the sake of argument, whict 1 nobody admits, that Wilson is mistaken is some of his policies " it is still a question of loyality t< 3 our government and we return t* 3 the advice iu the first spasm o " this editorial gem : Don't rocl the boat, Whitkers, unless yo\ are the only one present, ant 3 then so far as we are coneernet you can scuttle the bloomin 7 thing. *????? r Congressman ivlann said in ; , speech the other day, "Nearl; 3 all the world is war mad an< j even those in favor of peace wan r to light about it." lie hit i . about right. b BUYING TOO MUCH MILK f It is probable that it will a'. i ways be necessary to ship somi : products into the State, but th< present shipments are entireli r too large. ) The annual outside expendi t tures of this State for butter ar< i $($,400,000; for cheese, $2,000,000 ; for milk, $1,000,000. A total o I $0,400,000 each year leaves the ? State of South Carolina for dairj i products. This money should be kept al home. We really haven't got tlii6 much to spare. To keep i( here would be worth about twice $0,400,000- The keeping of oowi on a farm promotes diversifies tion of crops. Diversification always promotes prosperity. The by-product, manure, is wort! the cows' keep on the farm. A plentiful supply of fresh milk and butter is indispensible to the farmer's family. i We appeal to Chesterfield County farmers to save theii share of this tidy sum. Consult with Mr. "W. A. Douglass or Mr. W. J. Tiller about disposing of cream at a profit{able price. Yuan Shi Kai, President of the Chinese Republic, who died re cently, has been succeded by Li Yuan Hunt;. "Names is names" in China. What a field it would be for Luke McLuke! We believe in state aid for our common schools but at the same time we believe even more in self-help. The neighborhood that is content to take what the county and state may allot to it will never have a good school; but the community that gets what it can from county and state and then vigorously works for local [taxation, consolidation and community harmony and co-operation in everything per taming r,o scnooi improvement will soon be famed for its good schools, good teachers, and as a neighborhood in which it is good to live. The Meridian Dispatch, in commenting on the need for more interest in the common schools, well says: 44 rhere is promise of better things in the proposal to estab lish further consolidated rural schools in Lauderdale Gounty. We have found our sLate falling behind others in providing rural schools and it is hopelese, apparently, to depend upon a common treasury for the futidB to main tain common schools. Every community which organizes for education strikes a blow at illiteracy and every dollar 6penc in equipment and teaching forces is a dollar invested in a better citizenship." ?Progressive Farmer Aspiration shapes activity; we do as we think. "As a man tbinketb in his heart, 00 is pe." Ranks High at Farman The following information has * i been received from Mr. R. F. ^ League, historian of the sen- ^ i lor class at Furman. We take . delight in presenting it to our ^ ? readers: r "With the close of this com j' > mencement Furman University ^ . ended one of the most succes-ful k~ - years of her entire history. * The ^ I Senior class, although not exi ceptionaly large in number, is regarded as one of the most efficient and promising graduating f classes that Furtnan has ever/ j turned out. j "Claude W. Cambell of Chesterfield county is the president r of this year's Senior class. Mr. * ^ Cambell cametoFurman in 1912 ( t from Chesterfield High School ^ and has established a most enviable record during his four years , t at this institution. Besides ex? ceptionally good work in the an- . nual inter-society debates this 3 year, he has won several very s valuable literary medals in the j ) various oratorical and debating I contests that are held here each j., year, llis follow students have | . recognized his ability with such t 1 [offices as President of the Phil- ^ j osophian society, president of . j! Senior class, and many other of ( , J the highest honors that the stu- ( 'dent body can give. Mr Campbell intends to enter a law j i school next year, lie will no 7 doubt make a success of his clios- ^ 1 en profession, for he combines a t magnetic personality with an ^ t unusually brilliant intellect." Mrs. Winnie Susanna Rivers 1 On May 1(5, 1910, at 5 :d0 p. m. 1 - the death angel visited the home 3 of Mr. Charlie ltivers and re- r ? moved from their midst a devot- * 7 od wife and loving mother.

M. Belk. m immi ( The statement is often heard hat expensive milk cows do not ?y. , i Mr. W. A. Douglass has three igh-priced cows that are a livng contradiction to this asserion. One of then, is particulary interesting. This cow cost ess than $100 two years ago. ihe requires no more feed than , scrub cow giving one gallon u lay, yet she seldom goes below ix gallons per day and someimes reaches seven. Exact figures were kept for his cow during the month of Vpril. For that month she pro luced 1618 pounds of milk. There are approximately 8 lounds to the gallon and at 40 jents per gallon tins cow proluced $76.65 worth of milk. Her eed bill was under $10 00. Tnif >ne cow showed a clear profit oi >65.65 for this month. Mr. Douglass has refused 5200.00 for this animal. Many farmers will be quick tc ;ay that there is no mu~ket in Ihesterfield county for a great luantity of mill*. To this wt re)ly that the world markeh if mocking at your door. Creamsry routes are being organized o take up your cream at about 12 cents per pound. One ol ,hese routes will pass your dooi f you wish. In this connection, it is wortl lotine that this State now sendt vway annually neatly $10,000,0(K or dairy products. We wilj ieed that money when the b??'l veevil hits us.
