There are several kinds of pride, like apples?good, bad and indifferent. The pride we want to tell about belongs to the lirst named and it is county pride. County pride is akin to love of country?patriotism. We want to see the citizens of Chesterfield county show that they have this form of patriotism by taking great interest in the Chesterfield County Fair. Let each farmer, merchant, professional man and business mar devote some time toward making the Fair a great success. Every farmer, his wife, his girls and his boys can prepare some kinc of exhibit that will interest and in struct those who attend the Fair Let each citizen of Chesterfield Coun ty realize that "this is my Fair." Keep the name of ChcsterfieU county before the people. There is no better wnv of attract me1 niton lion to the advantages and resource: ?i" this county than* by making a fin< display of our various products. Ii every line of industry there are pos sibilities for showing the county's re sources. Let us develope these pos .ibiiitier* and show to the world tha | Chestert'eld's aim is upward and he motto is "Onward." One advantage of the County Fai is the educational feature that is no always appreciated as it should be It is a time and place to learn some thing. (Io to the farmer who has ai extra line display of corn, cotton o wheat and ask him to tell about hi methods of cultivation. He will taki pride in telling why his product is s< line and you will be the gainer by hi: imparling his methods to you. Now in conclusion?Let us all joir hands in making the coming Fail the best we have ever had and a littii better than any of our neighbors Selah! The State throws this brick bat ai New York: "One is never in dangei ui uesng lynched in New York City but would that reconcile one to having his hea dhnockod off with a brie bat during a strike?" Hon. A. K. Hill, of Spartanburg, solicitor of the Seventh .ludicial Do irict, will tour the middle West for Wilson during the month of Ociobci. South Carolina ehxiuence is in demand. This is one Hill the Republicans can't climb. HE IS DOING HIS BEST. At Toledo, Ohio, when Hughes war. speaking, the crowd asked him many iUestions?in fact they worried and embarrassed him. Hughes managers will have to do as the cowboys did out West. A young missionary was trying to preach to them but was not making much impression. The young man's friends put litis sign up at his tent: 'Don't shoot the preacher. He is doing the best he can." Hughes is probably doing the best he can for a bad cause, so we hope hey won't shoot him?that is, to any considerable extent. ARE YOU A DEMOCRAT? On another page is published an appeal for funds for the Wilson cam n i- wish every voter in Chesterfield County would feel it lis privilege to beeome a donator to this cause. The Republican party does not have to resort to popular appeal to tiise the funds necessary to carry on the national campaign. It is only necessary for them to go to their beneficiaries tmd say "We need the lough" and the coffers of plutocracy open wide. The Democratic party is the poor man's party. It has none to appeal ,o but the poor man. Rut if every poor man will do his best the necessary funds will be raised. The time is short. What you do, do quickly.

The idea of "Pay Up Week," hough not as new as it may seem to ome of us, is the outcome of an excellent idea. Wherever it has been .nstituted good has come of it. The public conscience needs to he jogged a little some times on the subject of debt-paying and a week in which all oid scores are expected to he settled is a mighty good week. The venerable I)r. T. E. Lucas, in i conversation with the editor the >thcr day said that when h" came to this county in 1850 or thereabouts, here was a law requiring all accounts to be pai 1 the first week in January. This law was possibly repealed and the custom neglected. We suggest that the idea he revived nnd the la.-t week in December je adopted as "Pay-Up Week," in >rdor that the New Year may be be-1 tun with a clean slate. | To the enreful consideration of the Soard of Trade this question is re- i pectfully referred.

He is hard put to it to find one, it seems, and a subtest ion l" it this time could not be taken amiss, t He was called from the bench for 10 other purpose than to oppose that - for which Mr. Wilson stands, l'here1 fore the way ought to be perfectly r clear. The thine lor which Mr. Wils ;on stands is hunuinitarianism. The k antithesis of that would seem to be 3 the issue for the Republican candis late. Is he brave enough to champion i openly the special interests of plur ocracy and sellish individualism i igninst the Democratic doctrine of the Rood of all the people? That is his issue if he would op- 1 pose the present incumbent of the < t White House. His only other choice r would seem to be to agree in whole 1 , or in part with the Democratic party. 1 . 30LL WEE VIE GETTING CLOSE. There is no danger of the boil weevil catching any South Carolina farmer unwarned, though it may pos iuly lind him unarmed. The pest is now within -la miles of the South Carolina border and is traveling with in our direction. 1 Mo farmer who does not this year pre- 1 pure for a warm reception of the pest will have plenty of time in which to regret his negligence. Our present methods of farming are going to be changed when Mr. Weevil arrives. Why not begin now to change them and thus avoid a few j years of bitter suffering? Now that Randolph Rose has , nought the Jacksonville Rail ? ltd), we , , expect some of the Chesterfield habi- t lutes of the express olfic k> apply , for stock in the venture, having already and repeatedly manifested a', desire to improve this gentleman's financial condition. The road leading from Chesterfield j * :o McBee is now in fair condition, , I>ut it should be worked so as to put in the best condition possible, and ^ Chesterfield will no doubt gain her full share of the benefits derived i herefrom. Though cotton is now bringing a r handsome price, there are those who | ucueve it wise to hole! it a little long- ' or, believing it will go still higher. It probably will, but nevertheless we i will also hold our advice on the mat- I lor, not being very successful in the role of prophet. 1 An effort is being made to have th" . Treasury Department Fublic Health j Service select Chesterfield as their L next county in which they will do ( sanitary work. We have in these v sand hi'ls the healthiest spot in the ^ State, provided our people will he j, careful of the fundamentals of sani- c tation. (j The people of Angelas continue to j hold the regard of the balance of the Chesterfield county. In addition to ( the many other hospitalities bestowed by these people, they have now invited the County Fair Boosters, who ? leave Chesterfield soon, to have lunch M with them.

From The Mew York Herald: When a bird flies like an overfe hen, cries like an alligator, has ih> bouquet of a wot mule in AugU3t am. yet manages to be "the most remark able and interesting of all winged creatures," it is high time that its life, romances and habits be given to the public in full. That may account for the article in yesterday's issue ,.f ?U.. V 1 I r, it , wt l11it /iuuivfj;jtai oyciwiy i)uiiciilif ill vhich William Bccbc tells the truth about the hoatain, which is the Jin., between the bird and the reptile. Although t lie hoa::i:i i.. called, i.h;ough the courtesy of ornithologists, a bird, it i3 to the lay mind cross between a terrd !e tiling and something awful. In its natural state it resembles something drugged in by the eat, and its general method of existence is, to put it mildly, squiiry ano inellicicit. Without any effort at all to put a hoa.r.in in any wo^se than he normally would be, u might be stated that the only vegetation that he and his disorderly family j tree have ever thrived in is muckamueka. "he attitude of the Iioatr.in toward current matters in its immediate vicinity gives the impression that many generations back the hoatains werv related to the Barry family, whose son, Bonehead, is well-known to marble workers. Mr. Beebe makes it clear with this note: "if several were sitting on a branch and one was shot, the others | wouia snow no symptoms of conccr:. or alarm, either at the noise of the i;iiii or the fall of their companion. ' A hoatzin which may face been J crouched close to the slain bird would continue to preen its plumage without 5 i glance downward." Mr. Beebo observed the hoatzins at home in New tduiana and what he ( knows about the entire hoatzin out , t is plenty. They have some habit. < -f birds but cannot fly well, some uibits of snakes but cannot creep a; | tli, some habits of monkeys but no ense of humor. Furtiicrn ore, they at pimpier leaves, just as the reade. ^ robably had suspected all along. To toll the truth, though, the boat r .in creeps around the pinp'.er trees ^ vith its hands, wings, neck and claws, monks outrageously on the slightest ;rovocation and hasn't shown any mprovemcnt in any imaginable way r the past million or more years. Ihe pimplcr trees have great thorns, j vhich protect it from c'iwn?ni ??'' 1 sklents of Brooklyn, and there the o.-tzin, in n nest built over the wu r, sits around doing al)solutely milling. It can he found only along he Lur.ks of n few tropical rivers, !:ich is about the only creditable j hint: about the bird. Briefly, the hoatzin illustrates a -cry old practice.. He merely sits tight ?nd gets away with it. He cannot ly, sing, whistle, bite, slide or dance, ;ut ; s Mr. Beebe says, there is no 5 n>.n? interesting tree tenant on earth. s $!0C Reward, $100 1 The readers of this paper will be 3 ph ;. ii to learn thai tliero fa at least (.no treaded disease that solsnos has been able to rare in all Its t;taRC3. and tint 13 catarrh.
