PAUL. II. 1110A UN / Editor and Publisher. ELECTION PREDICTIONS During the past week this etlito ill has been forcibly reminded of all th I stories he ever heard of the soldie ei receiving his first baptism of fire, am he confesses that for just a litti ? while he had a feelinK very much akii to that described in those narratives He felt like he'd better look for lly convenient place to ?hide*. R. And for why? nt* Look, gentle reader, at he captio 0t nf thlc ?rti..lo t W..~ 1 ? 1." an " * c.v.v.^ U|# i?= 5c week's Advertiser and read the eel torial in the same place and unde ~ the same heading. That little innc cent prediction was the cause of i all. It seems that every candidate wh was not rated as a winner in tha article was after ye editor's scalp. We couldn't at first understaij what the trouble was, but it finall developed" that we were being at cused of attempting to influence vc ters one way or another. We want to say here and now tha we could not then conceive of a sec ond-handed prediction, coming orijj inally from an unknown source an fostered by one new in the count as having any influence on the votci whatsoever. After nearly a week c deliberation the thought now seen almost preposterous. We believe tha the voters of Chesterfield county ha already made up their minds ho' they were going to vote and an speculation on what their decisio was before they had revealed this d? cison could not effect the result. This editor was reared in a Soutl ern newspaper office and has alwac been accustomed to the publicatio of speculative forecasts, publishe solely for their interest, because tin dealt with live subjects, and r complaint was ever befyre heard. We sincerely regret having offem ed even one of our friends, thoufi still believing that a mountain ws made of a mole hillIn this connection there seems I be a misconception in the minds < some of our patrons bearing on tl subject of free speech. . It has bei claimed that after having received political advertisemnt from a cant! date we have no longer any right express an opinion displeasing to th; candidate. We do not believe this notion very prevalent, but we wish to s; with all the emphasis of which v are capable, that our editorial co umns are in no sense for sale at ar price. When an advertiser bu; space he gets just what he pays fo the same as when he buys a pair ' shoes. If he buys one inch or 1 inches of space he has value receivi when that space is allotted to hit Hut this advertisement can have 1 effect on the opinions of the editi as expressed in the editorial column I The question is not whether not we had the right to express i opinion. We disclaim any desire to influen voters by the article referred to ar do not believe any voters were infl 2 enced thereby. a A friend thought to take a furl ov V of us the other day by insisting th mt no spot in heaven is suitable for ed % tors.

The campaign is over; the sove a eign people of this State and couni JR have made their decision and the r 5 suit is presented in this paper on a m other page. w Regardless of what the returi it show the candidates of this count y deserve the highest commendatic % for the clean manner in which ti campaign has been conducted, a It is said that seldom in the hi S tory of the county has there bet " as much interest taken in the electic of county officers. ~ There have been the most deterr ined elforts on the part of those ou side to get in and by those inside 1 stay in and yet it has been a clea campaign, with very little niui slinging, with the her', of humor or dominating. It was said of the Sheriff's ra< early in the campaign: "They'i pitched too high; they've got to con down and quit calling each other gei tlemen before people will be inte ested." But these gentlemen ran i gentlemen should run to the end an they attracted more than a passir interest, if one may judge by tl demonstration in Chesterfield la; Saturday. Chesterfield has passed through a exciting, but clean and orderly can paign of which any county migl well be proud. Hon. Champ Clark made the oper ing speech in the Maine campaig and it was an eye-opener for th Republicans. He showed that i three and a naif years the Democral ic party has placed upon the statut hooks' more constructive legislatio T than the Republicans did in twent years.

The Child Labor Bill passed by lt Congress was opposed by a number of Southern Congressmen, among ^ others Senator Ellison D. Smith, of y South Carolina. In opposing the bill Senator Smith made very strong arguments, showing especially that there was a great ditferer.ee between 11 the working of Northern and Southern factories. He sai<i on this point: "In my State and in every other State there are local conditions that y justify a thing which in another State *s would be wholly unjustifiable. In '' ?ny State the climate the year round 13 is mild and there is no suffering to ll go to work at any hour. In the South practically the year w around the windows of the factories y are open, and it is as if the operan tives were working in the open air; while in the North the buildings must be closed and artificially floated. 1_ This naturally poisons the air and :s makes long hours impossible." n The bill as passed prohibits sliip(' ment between the States of all- pro'y ducts of any establishment which eml(> ploys child labor. It bars products of anv mine or I~ quarry employing children under 16 h and products of any mill, cannery, workshop, factory or manufacturing establishment employing children under 14, or which employs children ?f between 14 and 16 more than 8 hours u' a day, more than six days a week 01 'n earlier than <> o'clock in the morninji n or later than 7 o'clock in the evening d- It becomes effective one year afiei the date of the President's approval at ?????? TOC THIN, MR. HUGHES, is To show how hard-pressed is can cy didate Ilignes for an argument, h? /e tries to make an issue of the change 1- by President Wilson of Durand foi iy Harris, as head of the census departys merit. When a candidate for the ,r, presidency can find no greater issue of than the dismission from the payroll 14 of a Republican he is in the position .(1 of the boy who said he "MUST gel the rabbit because we are out ol meat." The splendid administration t,r ?f Woodrow Wilson has not left Mr is, Hughes any sound arguments so he or must resort to claptrap objections in W. J. Harris, while head of the census bureau, proved that he was :i Cl. more capable man than Durand and 1(| the President was fully justified in u_ making the change. Hunt up sonic other uiiihhle Mr llmi-hoc FARMERS ARE HELPED. In a letter to Congressman Lever, 111 of South Carolina, President Wilson referring to his sighing the Agricultural Appropriation Hill, highly com,s pliments the South Carolina ConG pressman and his associates who n* workeil for the passage of the Lever bill. The President in this connection .mentioned the good work of Congress ^ in passing bills that benefitted the farmer. He mentioned increased appropriations for the support of agriculture; efforts to foster produclion; the co-operative agricultural exv tension act; creation of the office of (n markets and rural organization; th ^ cotton futures act; the grain standards act; the federal warehouse act; s the good roads law, and the federal reserve and farm loan acts. No farmer, especially no Souther., farmer, can afford to go back on the >resent administration. Hon. Kdward R. Gunby, at one time candidate for gov rnor of Florida, a leading Progressive Republican, will support Woodrow Wilson for President. He says Mr. Wilson is more in line with Progressive "e deals than is Mr. Hughes.

From The Monroe Journal: i We do not know whether William t .Tnnninira llrvnn i? ran nmi?->rr I . ' moving to Nor lh Carolina or nut ae- c cording>to a story which was publish- > ed in this paper recently, but if he has t that notion in his head, we hope he will come right along. Of course 1 there are still some millions of folks in this country who think that "Ole Bryan," as some of them call him, never does anything without a sinister motive, and they will say that he is coming, if he comes at all, only to try to go to the Senate from this State. We have no idea that Mr. Bryan ha.-, the slighk-si desire to go to the Senate from North Carolina or from any other State. lie has become really a citizen at large of the country, and his local habitat is merely a matter of convenience. He likes Asbeville, the climate suits him, and . he spends part of the time there anyway and it is much more convenient to the centre of population of the : country than Nebraska, and if he is j contemplating becoming a regular I citizen, there is no ncd to suppose ! I that he has any criminal intent. An Excellent Idea. . j .*\ larjn rattlesnake was billed on j Mr. Charlie Moachum's place in ( . ! Lilesvilh- township a few days aRo.

It was not a , Rood pie. The crust was heavy and i sour, and the apples fcerc hard; hut I the Rood man praised it earnestly. The woman of the house kn?w that ( she had had hud luck with the bakiiiR, and, as she was really an excellent cook, she determined that the next time that preacher came her way he should have a pie that was faultless. He told her when he was to recurn, and op that day she set before hiru an apple pie that was perfectly delicious. He at it, but, to her as tonishment, vouchsafed not a word of commendation. That was more than she could stand. "When you were here before," -ihe said, "you ate an apple pie that wasn't more than half baked, and yet you praised it to the skies. Now you have eaten a pie that no one need be tshamed of, but you haven't a word o say in its favor. I ean't under ;tand it." "My good woman," said the ; preacher, "tiiat pie you served me a few days ago was sadly in need of praise, and I did my full duty in lhat direction; hut this line pie, bless your heart, does not require any eulogy."?Youth's Companion.

I link the plo\vs should be kept run- ] ing for several weeks longer and | rith this treatment believe that much' . t the young cotton which is now be- < inning to bloom freely will make at , jast half a crop. i We are practicing what we preach . n our own farms, and are plowing oday as hard as we can. All of our ottcn is green and growing except bout half of one lield that has not icon plowed within the past two , msks. Although that field was danted in March with an early va iety of cotton, the part we have coninued to plow still has a fairly Rood olor and is setting some fruit, while he other end of the field has Riven ip completely and is opening pretnaurely. Where cotton is not lapping n the rows don't be afraid that one >r two more ligTit plowings will inure it. Such plowing will not only lelp the size of the crop, hut < will ielp the length of the staple as well. R. I). COKER. iartsville, Aug. 21. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, ss. Frank J.
