PAUL. II. HEARN Editor and Publisher. NOW FOR WATERWORKS! Chesterfield has had her lesson. Will she wait for another one, or will she act now? That is the question that stares every citizen of this town in the face to-day. The destruction of the home of Mr. R. M. Myers on Saturday night was a needless waste. Men fought like demons to save the adjoining houseos and succeeded. The wells in the immediate neighborhood were soon dry and the water had to be carried great distances, yet success crowned their efforts and the fire was confined to one house. Thio rncnlf A 1 ' AMIO AVOUlt w LI 111 nut I lit V U Ul!L'Il achieved except under kleal conditions. The fire started on the roof and made a smaller blaze than if starting near the ground. A gentle breeze wafted the heat away from the nearest buildings. Had these conditions been different, every house on Green St. would have burned and there is no telling how much further the conflagration would have extended. We repeat that the destruction ol Myers' house was a needless waste, When the fire was discovered a verj small stream of water even from a | garden hose, would have been sufficient to save the dwelling. It is the duty of every community as large as Chesterfield to provide thi best protection possible against fire Who will lruarantce that the novi fire will be under ideal conditions? Then there is the matter of sanitation. This locality was known a hundred years ago as "Healthy Ridge," and il has been said of late that only the I goodness of God has prevented sej vere epidemics of sickness from sweeping through our town. The uniformly good health thai Chesterfield has enjoyed is certainlj not due to sanitary measures taker by man. As a community we have done nothing or next to nothing t( safeguard our health, and as popula tion increases the time rapidly ap proaches when the danger of an epi demic becomes a serious menace. J We are now living too close to gether to do without sewerage an< j we are flirting with disease and deatl i when we continue it. ! We need water works to decreas* the terrific fire insurance rate; w< need it to raise our property values we need it to make our town attrac tive to other people to settle here. In a conversation with Mr. J. New ton Johnston, of Charlotte, a civil en gineer well-versed in such matters, h i said that adequate water works am | sewerage could be constructed ii 'Chesterfield for expenditures ranginj i from $10,000 to $27,000, dependinj on its size and elaborteness. lie is familiar with the situatioi in Chesterfield and has offered ti come and address a mass meeting o citizens on the subject, without cost We suggest that the meeting b< held and that Mr. Johnston he called It is not surprising that the Demo I crats won in the recent election wher we reflect that President Wilson con i ducted his great office in such a wis? and statesmanlike manner that th< .common sense of the people could fine no reason to displace him by an un tried man. Iiev. W. T. Ellis, D. D., who write! the weekly comments on the Sunday school lesson for leading papers, ii not a partisan or a politician. In i letter before the election he char aeterized Wood row Wilson as thi greatest president since Washington having had more difficult problems to contend with than any other presi dent. Those difficult problems wen SO nhlv hfin/ll<wl thot *Vw? onnnfmr U??t flourished and has been kept in path? v.f peace and prosperity. It was under the guidance of President Wilson that Congress has passed more useful legislation than has been enacted by any one Congress in the country's history. Another quality of the President's wonderful make-up is his bravery? a quality that has not been commented upon so much as his other attributes. Two instances are reccalled. Just before the election Mr. O'Leary, claiming to represent a large body of voters, wrote an insinuating letter to the President. The President replied to the effect that he did not want the votes of the class he represented?men who were disloval to Ainericn The other instance was on the eve of the election when President WilSTTn made a speech in New York in which he handled Wall Street without gloves?to change the metaphor?he bearded the lion in his den.

Watson, commissioner-of agriculture, has left Columbia to attend a conference in Philadelphia November 23 and 24 of wool growers and manufacturers, which is being held under the auspices of the Philadelphia Wool and Textile association and the Manufacturers' club. The object of the meeting is to promote the indusetry of sheep raising in the South and Ecast. Owing to the encroachment of small farms on the West the sheep raising industry there has been badly depleted and the woolen manufacturers are endeavoring to establish sheep raising as a permanent industry in the South and East. Mr. Watson said recently that he considered sheep raising to be the best thing for this section of the country that has been brought to the attention of the people in years. He pointed out that two products, so to speak, one of mutton and one of wool, could be raised, at very low cost and with a good profit. Rock Hill Night School* The night schools under the supervision of the city schools closed their first month last week, says a Rock Hill dispatch.

Doctor's Praise Is Triumph For Tanlac ATLANTA PHYSICIAN'S WIFE f GAINS 15 POUNDS, HE DECLARES SHE TOOK THREE BOTTLES "I'M OBLIGED TO THINK WELL - OF A MEDICINE THAT ACCOMPLISHED WHAT TANLAC DID." Dr. J. L. E. Brantley, a prominent practicing physician, residing at 605 South Pryor Street, went into Jacob's Pharmacy to purchase another bottle of Tanlac for his wife, and made the following statement regarding the benefits she has derived from the medicine: jfcf "I am obliged to think well of a medicine that accomplished what Tnnlnp Vina in m\r 01? . ... i..j ?t liv o toac. OUti has gained all of fifteen pounds on three bottles of the medicine and she is now a well woman in every respect. "She has suffered from indigestion and nervousness since 190D. She could not retain anything scarcely on her stomach and she was troubled a great deal by the formation of gas. She suffered constantly with headaches and backaches and was nauseated more or less all the time. She could not sleep or rest well at all, on account of her nervous condition, and she became very weak and thin. "I decided to buy Tanlac for her because it was so highly recommended for troubles Hke hers, and I am glad to say the results have been most ^ gratuying. She eats anything *8116 wants now and her stomach is all right. Gas has stopped forming and she retains and digests her food properly and has built up wonderfully. The headaches and pains in her back are broken up and she sleeps well every night. I consider her improvement almost remarkable, and I can now recommend Tanlac for what it i has done for her." Coming from the high source it 1 does, and especially from a member of the medical profession, this straightforward uterance of Dr. Brantley is more than a recommendation. It is a triumph. Tanlac, nature's great vegetable Ionic, correc tive and system builder, is truly or.e : of the greatest discoveries of the decade and the best evidence of this is the confidence and high esteem in which it is held. Not only by the great masses of people. No other medicine has ever established the , reputation Tanlac has nor any other . received the high endorsement of medical men and laity.
