BfeTTER TRAIN SERVICE The Seaboard Air Line Railroad rc- I cently placed a page advertisement | ?wil| in The Manufacturer's Record "Pre? 1 senting the claims of Wilmington, N. hei c." It told of the vast stores of raw , material in this section, good climate and excellent living conditions, coupaled with first-class transportation facilities. The advertisement closed with ?.1^ - iiTi r?A- ... I | | imac wuiui. inese mcix rfspt'CUtlK Wilmington, presented by the Progressive Railway of the South, are without selfish motives, as those who know the transportation situation must testify, and is but in line with our policy to help create a systematic development of the Seaboard Southeast, to-day the Nation's undeveloped I asset, and the opporuntiy for tho p regressive." The attitude of helpfulness on the part of this groat railroad leads us to believe that if we go about it in the right manner we can secure bet!) ter railroad facilities for Chesterfield county. Perhaps the first thing we need that is easily within the power of the Seaboard to grant is better train service on the road we have. It is not necessary to explain at this time why we need two trains a day each way and a Sunday mail. This need is realized by all tho traveling public of Chesterfield county, especially that part of it that is dependent upon the C. & L. for transportation. There is a popular dc^ mand for this improvement already. % If Chesterfield, Ruby, Mt. Croghan * and Pageland will but unite theii ? forces and call upon the great S. A. m L. in unison we believe thev will H?i S 1 thoir part toward aiding in developing the resources of this county. BetW ter train service is a long step in the ' direction toward this development. I | But be it remembered, railroads are somewhat like Divine Providence [ in that thy only help those who help I themselves. | DEFEATING THE BOLL WEEVIL , In a recent issue of the Augusta . Chronicle there is some very instructive matter relating to one of the , South's most dangerous enemies?the f boll weevil. Mr. N. L. Willet, who ' addressed the Farmers' meeting of V the Rotary Club, gave valuable and w entertaining information. He said f that the true name of the Mexican S boll weevil is anthonomus grandis. That is a frightful name, but probably very appropriate. "" Mr. Willet says the government has ~~~" tried out more than 200 remedies for the control of the weevil but all of them have failed. He states that the decrease in Louisiana and Alabama in cotton production in the wevil infected counties is 77 per cent?that where 100 bales had been produced the wevil has left only 2d bales. That is a frightful toll to take and a great loss to the cotton farmer. Mr. Willet's remedy for the boll weevil situation is to change tenant farms or. January 1st to the wage system or in to share cropper plans, with diversified farming and with three year contracts. He suggests that the South is fortunate in having long seasons and two crops with ten types of farm crops to choose from. Mr. Willet, in concluding his able address made this statement that is worthy of most serious consideration: "Agriculture is ready to meet new problems, and to win success, just in proportion as it has knowledge of its subject, and is industrious. The trouble is largely that we of the South have put more emphasis on the culture of cotton than the culture of ? mind; our high percentage of illitermmm acy constitutes a handicap in the situation to-day. Illiteracy is always inert rather than alert. Our agriculture in the future will have to be intelligent agriculture, or none at all." The issue of the Augusta Chronicle I from which we have quoted, contain ^ ed the plan of two Georgia farmers for knocking out Mr. Hull Weevil with the mild but prolific velvet bean. Mr. J. J. Cockran, of Barnwell, was quite optimistic concerning the farming prospects of the future. He says the velvet bean will prove a wonderful boon when it becomes universally cultivated. He is investigating the possibilities of grinding the beans into stock food. Mr J. L. Henderson, progressive farmer, was also quite optimistic despite the coming of the boll weevil. Mr. Henderson had twelve acres planted in beans this year and they must have yielded from forty to fifty b?- bushels per acre. He turned in 57 ess, hogs on the twelve-acre lot, and they are now fat. In addition to these hogs he has had his cattle, five colts and twelve or fifteen mules constantly feeding on the patch of twelve acres, and what has been uoten can hardly be missed at this time. Over in Georgia corn and wheat mills are installing mills for grinding velvet beans so that there will be a demand for all the beans that can be raised. Georgia farmers are plan?? ning to plant large acreages to velvet beans. Will South Carolina farmers, like ex- those of Gorgia, await the actual arrival of the boll weevil before beginerty ning to prepare to fight him or will K they and especially Chesterfield Bion county farmers, learn a lesson from for our neighbor and begin at once to plan to starva out Mr. WaavilT a * ?. ?.), In j|i .. . 1,1 WHAT IT M&ANS TO WIN j Winning a prize at a county or State fair, even though it be only the prize at the bottom of the list, gives one a new pride in his work. He goes > home feeling that life is worth living < and work is worth doing. If it does ] not give one too much of a swelled } head, it is a good thing for him to < know that he excels someone in something. It encourages him in his work, for he knows then that he is on the < right tra?k. It shows him in which t branch of his business he is being the j most successful, and, therefore, which i one it will pay him best to develop as ] his specialty. i The winning of a blue ribbon | makes a man a brother to kings; it i fills him with an exaltation which is good for his soul, it sets for him a new standard in life. If he is made of the right stuff he tries to live up to that blue ribbon in all things, he tries to make all his products as high quality for their kinds as was for its kind that which won the blue ribbon. Soon or late that spirit of better quality permeates his entire being and he becomes a bigger and a better man tor having won that little strip of ribbon. He realizes that those who lost the honor to him are going to strive all the harder to win it from him next year. Therefore, he strivos just as hard next year to excel his own accomplishment of the year before so that ho may again win the honor of the blue ribbon rather than letting his competitors take it from him. And thereby the winning of that prize las raised his own standards of excellence and thus has benefitted his business.?The Farming Business. We hear much of the probable inluence of present high price of cot.on on increasing acreage next spring. The high prices of all grains ?relatively as high as cotton, with vheat flirting around the two-dollar nark?is an equally logical reason to ncreasing the sowing of fall grains. )ats, wheat and barley may still be .own. Hiffh prices of corn will run ar into next year. Why not yield to his influence as well as the wiles of oaring cotton??Southern Ruralist. tURAL CREDITS LAW IN BRIEF The rural credits law provides: (1) That you borrow one-half he value of your land; (2) That you may have from five ] o forty years to pay back the money, I laying it back as fast as you please .ftcr five years; (3) Thut the interest rate can't lossibly exceed 6 per cent, and will \lmost certainly be less; (4) That each borrower buys a $5 hare in the National farm loan association for each $101) he borrows, ellintf this back a^ain when he pays jp; (5) That all other liability is United to 5 per cent of the amount a man borrows, there bein>? no truth n the statement that he must assume general joint liability with other borrowers.

"But I most strongly and afFectionitely impress upon you the priceless value of the New Testament and the itudy of that book as the one unfailing guide in life. "Deeply respecting it, and bowing down before the character of our Saviour, as separated from the vain constructions und inventions of men, you cannot go very wrong, and will always preserve at heart a true spirit of veneration and humility. "Similarly I impress upon you the habit of saying a Christian prayer every night and morning. "These things have stood by me all through my life, and remember that 1 tried to render the New Testament intelligible to you and lovable by you when you were a mere baby."

Tht following excellent sketch was vritten by Miss Jennie Humphries a >th grade pupil in the Chesterfield Sigh School, and read before the iVade Hampton Literary Society recently. In 1868 the Constitution of South Carolina provided for a public school jystem throughout the State. The funds for the support of the public school system were to be raised by a poll tax and property tax. The same Constitution provided for a State Superintendent of Education and a couaty school commissioner. This laid the foundation for the public school system of the State. The free public school of the town of Chesterfield began in the fall of 1876 with Dr. T. E. Lucas as superintendent of Education. The first school house was built in 1885 by Mr. Billie Craig, who was a trustee at that time. The building was where Mr. Bob Redfeam now lives, the size of the structure being 16x32. There was one teacher and about 60 pupils. The school was kept up for about six years, then it was moved to the Methodist church, where the Baptist church now stands, still with one teacher at a salary of $20 or $25 a month. A two-room school house was then erected whero Mr. Jackson now lives. Col. Hugh Craig gave the site for this school building. Two teachers were employed to teach this school. The school was conducted up here through 1908, and beginning where the school building now stands in the fall of 1909, when it was made a high school with Mr. R. D. Marsh as superintendent. Since the foundation of this school there has been a steady growth and improvement in length of term, numhpr <if tonchprQ anlarv ?nuin. rnent, until to-day it is ranked as one of the foremost high schools of the State, completing the entire 14 units for high school work. The first tc graduate from this high school were Misses Grace Hurst and Ruth Hanne and there have been graduates frorr the high school every year since. It was thought when the presenl building was erected that it woulc meet the demands of the school dis trict in the county for many years tc come, but already there is need foi more room. The increased numbei of pupils, which was 279 last ysai and will probably reach 300 this year has made it necessary to cut up th< auditorium into school rooms anc there is already considerable talk o providing in the near future sufficien room to meet the demands of th> school. DENTAL PREPAREDNESS What is the most important attri bute of a soldier? Good feet? No. Good eyesight? No. Good brains? No. What, then? Good teeth! A soldier may have gooti feet, goo< eyesight, and gooei brains but if h has bad teeth, he can't eat. If h can't eat he can't march near enoug' to the enemy to see him and use hi brains to fight him. How does a soldier get good teeth By having good teeth in childhood. How do children have good teeth Through being taught by their inothe how to keep their teeth clean am having their teeth looked after whil they are growing. This makes goo teeth for future soldiers. It would seem then, as though th first patriotic duty of a mother wa to keep her children's teeth in goo. condition. It is. NATURE TELLS YOU As Many t Chesterfield Reade Knows Too Wall.

We do not bank enough of our earnings. No man should spend to the last cent he makes unless under the direst necessity. Erery woman and child should become a depositor in the banks of the county. Change the style of doing 1 business from borrower to a lender. No county can prosper when its people actually spend more than they make. No one who passed through the trying years of 1911 and 1914 will ' soon forget the discomfort of those j years. What are we doing inthe year I 19IS, which is another hard year? Are we saving a little, or are we spending with riotous living what little we have? Men who climb up in this world are the men who practice some system of saving. There cannot be any sense in a man's spending all he makes when he is in a healthy condition. 1 Just one word as to where to begin. This is the money time of the ^ year in this section and why not put j aside just a small amount from this season just as a starter? Children who receive allowances from their parents should be required by them to , deposit a certain per cent of what ^ | they get. | For instance, should a father give ' his child one dollar per week or even j less, to buy incidentals at school and to go to collections at church, etc., why not require him to put by a certain per cent to be used only in extreme cases. Or should father make the practice of paying his child foi erronds run, why not require him tc save a certain per cent, of it? In thii way the child would be required tc practice saving at the impressionable age, when he would acquire it as e good habit. Many of us have been caught wher we wished we had been trained sav er8. d i ti.? i? ?
