CONGRATULATIONS If this little article is to be published this week it is necessary thai it be written before the election. Wt know in advance how the election it going. We cannot predict how grcal I will be Mr. Stevensons majority, bul we know it will be safe. Therefore: Wc congratulate the Fifth Congressional District in electing a man tc the United States Congress of whom thev will ever be proud. He is a mar of whom the State of South Caroline vill he proud. He will quickly take his place anions the great Congressmen from the South. It will be ? source of great pleasure to this entire District to know that their representative is taking a prominent part in shaping the destinies of the Nation But Chesterfield County?now wc are coming home! The name of Chesterfield has never before been called on the floor af Congress in all hei long history. We should be glad tc have an ordinary man there. Bui we've done better than that, we arc sending to represent us one of the strongest of the strong. When this article shall have beer printed we believe old Chesterfielc will have done her duty well and wil have helped roll up a tremeduouslj large vote for the biggest man ir the Fifth Congressional District. TENANT FARMERS AND THE LAND LOAN. The question is sometimes askct what benefit is the land loan law tt the tcnent who wants to buy a farm as the loan must not exceed 50 pe cent, of the value of the land. Her* is the solution. When a man gets hi loan up to 50 per cent, of the value o: the land he pays that to the man fron whom he buys the land. Then h< gives the original owner of the land j second mortgage, payable, say in ter years. Thus the original owner geti a cash payment of 50 per cent., Warfe' is much more than the average lan spIp nc.-Jjyod lyAotw fUe land loan acl The tenant with long time and sma payments, can thus buy a farm .unde the new land loan act, paying for i out of his yearly crops. The very statement of the cas shows that the rich man has no ac vantage over the poor man in buyin land. The Wilson administration h? secured the passage of a great man laws of benefit to the people, but th; land loan ac.t is one of the greatcs , and best of all. > The plan has the merit of cheaj i ness to the land buyer as the toti ] charges amount only seven dollars o i every $100 borrowed. Of this seve doiiars nve goes to pay interest, on goes on payment of the debt and on to the bank for services. South Carolina is establishing home for the feeble minded. W could name another State or two ths also need such an institution. Dr. Len G. Broughton has delivere a lecture giving four reasons wh women should not vote. Most an woman can give him forty reason why she should vote. William J. B. is still cryin 1 "Peace." In Jeremiah we read o those who cried "Peace, peace, whe there is 110 peace." In South Georgia twenty-five farm ers who defied the cattle-dipping lai were tried and found guilty. The; were let olF with the costs, as the promised to go and sin no more. The people of Alaska voted to mak that territory bone dry by a majorit; of two to one. They asked ongres to pass the needed legislation to mak Alaska dry, and Congress, like Barki.? was willin'. Although Tennessee has a Gover nor Kye, people of that State canno hereafter have rye or any other kint oi whisky in their possession. The; cannot, under the new law, make, sel or keep in lockers intoxicatinj liquors.. The legislature now in sea sion set out to make the State abso lutely dry and that result is about t be accomplished. Ex-President Taft made this patri otic statement in a recent speech: "The responsibility which now rest on the President and Congress is ver heavy. They should know and <1 know that the American people wil back them to the end in their decision May God give them good deliver cnce.*' CIGARETTES TO THE RESCUE Often have we heard the inciden of a Testament in the breast poekc of a soldier stopping a bullet am thereby saving his life.

THE TIME IS PAST WHEN THE MERCHANT AND BANKER LOOKS t UPON THE ALL-COTTON FARMs ER AS THE SAFEST RISK. 1 All the great nations are at war ^ with the few remaining neutrals in' eluding our own United States about to enter, and the boll weevil is at our " very door. These are conditions that * will try our ability and our resources 1 to the utmost. If wc are to meet 1 these conditions and live through the uiuuui wc nave lu piHIl SUier ! methods of farming than we have practiced in the past. 1 I cannot undertake in this article to lay down a plan of action that will suit every farmer in the county for what will suit one in detail will not apply at all to another farm, but the general principle here advocated will apply to all and every farmer in the county will be profited by a sincere endeavor at working out a program in accordance with these principles. ? The first thing of importance for ' the consideration of the farmer with reference to the coming crop is the food supply for both man and beast. 1 Prices of food stuffs are terriffically ' high and are going much higher, in all ' probability. Under normal conditions ' the money that goes out of South 1 Carolina for food stuffs is an enormous drain on the resources of our State. What they will be in the future with prices steadily climbing, is hard to imagine, unless South Carolina farmers decide to stop sending 1 their money to the North and to the j West and begin to raise their own , food supplies. r In order that you may gain some 3 " e r'*s;? it P^?^v?*^i'^>i>-' - -> - i*: fi>,v-: f . - . .^ .... , .?. v My folks down i I clean and sweet you I am just a y ever made!

These figures represent dollars and 'cents that we are sending out of our State for things that we can raise as good or beter and in many instances more cheaply than the northern and western farmer from, whom we buy. There is not fiQt,tj|RTsr articles but has a place j|P$Fwell diversified farm. These ||gwes are for the State, but Chesterffeld county's full share is represented. These figures were taken from the year 1911, and there has been very little if any improvement since then, with this addition, the priceB have advanced enormously. p?_ u ?? i vi nwi wi, itiuio . , . . 91 1,J5U,UUO.UO " Bacon and other meat 1 products 13,000,000.00 1 " Dairy products . . .12,000,000.00 ] " Flour 20,000,000.00 1 44 Corn 6,000,000.00 j 44 Feed stuffs 3,000,000.00 1 44 Hay 2,000,000.00 ; 44 Oats 1,000,000.00 ! These figures mean that the awful 1 sum of $69,350,000.00 (Sixey-Nine ' Million, Three Hundred and Fifty > Thousand Dollars) went from our farmers to enrich the farmers of oth- 1 er less favored sections of this country. We say less favored advisedly ] for while the farmers of the North and West can grow only one crop a i year we can grow two and sometimes three crops a year. 1 Do not understand! me to advocate changing to stock and grain farming 1 exclusively. This is a cotton country and should continue to raise cotton, j but we will be prosperous only when we stop sending all our profits on cotton to the North and West for home supplies that we can raise at home. WE MUST RAISE ALL OUF HOME SUPLIES.

Now to stop this flood of gold and diver from our State and county we would only need to plant a few cotton teres in food crops. By dging this we will quickly place to our credit in die banks our share of this enormous mm; we will greatly enrich our soil ind have more and better food supplies for oorselves and stock and lave more and better stock than we ire able to buy with cash. The farmers of this State spend lomething like $23,000,000.00 for fertilizers each year. Why not keep >ur part of this at home, by building up the fertility of the soil? I would suggest that when planning your crop you should not forget the orchard, the garden, the potato (sweet and Irish). Put some of the best land in com, with a hill of velvet beans between each hill of corn. Prepare to make a good supply of roughage, by planting after your grain crop, such as cow peas, soy beans, peanuts and chufus, and when you have done all of this set asido some of those old hill sides for permanent pastures to be seeded to Bermuda grass for the stock when idle and for the cattle all the time. And THEN plant all the cotton you can handle, for your cash crop. A well diversified farm means prosperity. We are making some progress in that direction, so don't let us go back. With the aid of the velvet bean, the soy beans, cow peas and other summer and winter legumes, and rye to aid us in improving our soil and, feeding our live stock, there is no reason why we should not become a self-supporting people. Let every farmer resolve to make his supplies at homo, BECAUSE: THE BOLL WEEVIL WILL BE WITH US IN A VERY SHORT TIME This year, 1917, i* the time to prepare. W. J. TILLER.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES "* A SLUGGISH LIVER Crashes Into Sour Bila, Makiag You ^ Sick and Lose a Day's Work. Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes intfr it, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, con- I stipated and all knocked out, just go 1 to your druggist and get a 50 cent I bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which 1 is a harmless vegetable substitute for I dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful I and if it doesn't start your liver and 1 straighten you up better and quicker \ than nasty calomel and without mak- ? ing you sick, you just go back and get your money.
