SOME ISSUES There are several issues that we would like to see discussed during this campaign by the candidates for the legislature and senate from Chestrfield County. Chesterfield County needs a hospital where her patients can receive proper treatment and nursing. Hardly a wek passes but several patients must be taken, at great discomfort anil expense, to Wadesboro, Florence, v .nariouo or v otumota. ny me assistance <>f visiting specialists our local physicians could take care of our worst cases ripht at home. All cases of contagious diseases could by this means be removed from the home durinjr the course of the disease, thuremovinp from the community, a source of contagion. Such a hospital would in time become self-sustaining, but jf it is to be a public institution it would require public funds for its establishment. There is already a strong sent: ment in favor of this movement. We would like to see it espoused by one or more of the candidates. Then there is no more vital question than that of pood roads. In fact "Good Roads and Hotter Schools" oupht to be the keynote of this compaipn. Anybody can promise a reduction in taxes hut it takes a man of coura*re to face his audience and say, "If we ;* ? to tro forward in the matter of better health protection, poo I roads and better schools there can be no reduction of taxes." I ??t 11 fcj tn\ furu'nril TRIBUTE TO SENATOR TILLMAN Referring to the re-entering into the senatorial race by Hon. Ben Tillman, .Mr. James A. Holluinan, staff correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, . irote to his paper, in March a letter paying high tribute to South Carolina's great senator. Wh.le the State of South Carolina is mourning the loss of this stalesman of the old school, the tribute ol Mr. ilolloman, written several months betore the Senator's death, will be read with peculiar interest, we append some extracts from Mr. JIolloman's article: "Benjamin R. Tillman i.-> a wonder .ful man in many respects; unique in many and picturesque in not a few. Another term in the senate may mean a life sentence for him in the senate chamber of his country. If it should so moan?and here's hoping he lives to be a hundred?he wih die with his political boots on. Something else. He will die building up and maintaining the greatest navy | in Hod's hinh seas. The navy is his hohhy. As chairman of the naval affairs committee in the senate his work has heen con-truciive. Many month a^e he saw the handwriting on the wail. H< heenn to hu.hi the An.'-r.can i a.y to prepare r, when "pre paredness" was unpopular in this country, lie had tin- co-operation of the house comniilt? i 1!< had the en operation of the secretary of the navy. '1 he re.-a,', is, while the war department is di. organized in man> branches, due more to the inac.ivi \ of the legislative t'onuuittees than to the mistakes of the war department officials, the navy is as nearly perfect as the most exacting coul I hop* and the work is not yet finished. That is why Senator Tillman wants to sta> in the senate. Men Tillman came to the Unites States S( nato in lKDu. He has served without interruption since. Twentyfour years when his term expires! That is a proud record of itself. There are only two men in the senate who have a longer continuous service, fhey are I.od^e, of Massachusetts, and (iallimre-. uf Mew Hnmnahire Senator 'I illrnan has. therefore, .served through the democratic adnnnistration of Crover Cleveland, last term, and the republican ad ninistrations of McKinley, Roosevelt and Tuft and the democratic administra tion of the first term of Woodrow Wilson, ile has been on the naval committee from the beginning ar.d for several yeflrs was the ranking democratic member, while the committee was organized by the republicans. Say what you please about Ren Tillman, he has his enemies and his friends; his enemies are bitter, h.h friends are loyal; but measured by the standard of manhood he is- ever> THE WEALTHY NOT SLACKERS That patriotism is not confined to the common people, so called, but actuates and inspires our men of wealth, is proven by many instances of generous deeds of millionaires and multimillionaires. Here is a single instance that is a sample of many others. Mr. Frank H. Buhl, of Pennsylvania, who died recently left two million dollars, to be used in helping people who have been made destitute by the ravages of war. During his lfietimc Mr. Buhl used his large fortune in helping his less fortunate fellow men and by the gift of this two million dollars built a monument for himself more enduring than marble. There are many other people of wealth in this time of stress doing their duty nobly and patriotically. A daughter of the great banker and financier, .1. Pierpont Morgan, is? now doing Red Cross work in France. She is spending thousands of dollars in building up the homes and villages destroyed by the Germans. She is not alone. Many of tin wealthy of the country are not only g*\sng of heir means but giving themselves to the work of helping in nospiud and ied Cross work.

GERMANY'S FOES ARE TWENTY N A TI O N S?A NDTRUTH On the days when the new; from ranee has I ccn most depressing I wave noticed a curious phenomenon. I have noticed that many people y to me on such dark days, "it will ?' a Ionic war." But not one single san or woman will admit the slightt doulit that Germany must ultimately lose. No matter how much ground the Germans gain, the common man perils in regarding their gains as pureiy temporary. IIow shall we explain this fixed and tuhhorn blindness that refuses to accept the evidence of the War maps. The common man is not good sit elf-analvsis: he would probsibly lino lifficulty in giving reasons for the aitii that is in him. Hut that faith is founded on nulling more nor less than this that 10 cause can finally prevail which built upon and bolstered up with i ies. Some day the German people will understand how great a military deeat they sutfered when they star ed heir war by trampling upon truth, mined, tin re are signs that they '.ready begin io realize it. "The war was forced upon us," their rulers cried. "England schemed nd plotted it." The world knew it for a lie in 11: and now, in 11) IX, conies Prince .ichnowsky, the last Gentian amine sador to England, confessing in his thnt it :? In- thiit I'm ands strovo to the uttermost for peace I'hey may prosecute I'rince Lichowsky for treason; but Truth they in neither imprison nor wipe ou; before a firing s<|uad. Kmperor Carl of Austria may disss his minister and explain until e is breathless that the French have falsified his peace letter. The common man is unimpressed: e has passed judgment upon those xplanat ions even before they are uttered. For four years every day's history has been teaching him that Herman explanations and promises and treaties are unworthy of his trust: and it will be four hundred years before the influence of thai touching; dies out of the world. The common man does not know uoh history; but embedded deep in nis heart is a convict on that the vorld is slowly growing; better; that n the long; run rig;IU triumphs over wrontr; that Truth crushed to earth does rise agrain. Truth is no more to he withstood \ i ? i MIII ?m\ < J 111 i nauiMi inn ? ICmerson J. We can drive a stone upward for a moment into the air, but I is yet true all stun- s will forever .ill: and whatever instances can be noted of unpunished theft, or of a e which somebody credited, justice 1 list prevail, and it is the privilege >f truth to yet itself believed. At almost every period of the world's history some man or body of nen have snuyht to set themselves airainst this inexorable law. A lyiny, jealous populace forced Socrates to drinlt the bitter hem>' k and succeeded only in makiny Socrates immortal.

A S O N SWAT THE FLY! 13y Dr. W. A. Evans, in The State Twenty years apo Vauphan, Ree & Shakespeare estimated that abot one-quarter of the typhoid fever i f our army raised for the Spanish-Ann y rican war was due to infection h u Hies. That horrible typhoid rat seems to us today to be the prei , shame of the last quarter of that eei tury. Today our armies do not have tj f phoid fever, in part because there at t fewer Hies around our army camp j but in preater part because the so (i diers are vaccinated apainsl lyphoa ( While army typhoid has com to a . , em! the civilian population still paj (| 1 tribute to th s unncia ai\\ disca.
