THE POOR MAN'S PRICE The condition of the roads in Ches- ' tertield County after the recent hard rains must have caused some concern even to the most confirmed disbeliever in modern improvements. That in this day of motor vehicles there should be such roads as lead through our county 1 seat, and that these roads are in daily use by people who have experienced the benefits of real thoroughfares, is almost beyond belief. The amount of extra expense in ! fuel, oil, damage to cars, necessary delays, actual money lost by not go- 1 ing somewhere that one should have 1 gone, that the condition of roads in ' this neighborhood has cost car owners 1 in the past week will amount to far more than the proportionate tax on 1 good roads in many months. Thus it is that we are paying the poor man's price for our roads. The poor man is supposed to buy cheap goods. As long as he does so he re- 1 mains poor. Buying cheap goods ( win muKc a ricn man poor; but the man who knows enough to get rich ' usually knows enough to stay rich, thereore he buys good goods. Besides being kept poor the poor man never gets what he really wants. j Consequently the poor man's price is the highest price. So, when we refuse to pay for good roads on the plea that we are , too poor, we are paying the highest , price beause, however little we pay, 1 we pay too much to be wasted on road maintainance that does npt ( maintain because it is insufficient, j MtCroghan and Cheraw Townships ( have seen the light and are now preparing to build highways that will j leave the town of Chesterfield iso- ( lated. Many of us now get our only pleasure out of motoring in the adjoing State of North Carolina. That Is a form of cheating that the interstate license priviledges permit. Why should North Carolina furnish us ' good roads when we do not retaliate? ' If good roads were an experiment 1 there might be some excuse. But good 1 roads are no experiment. Twenty- s five or thirty years ago the good t roads movement was started by the t League of American Wheelmen, an t organization of bicycles riders. From t the first path that was constructed s for *he use of the little two wheeled 1 machine benefits began to accrue to 1 U ~ 1 i* tuu lutiiiiuus mm were mus connected. And these benefits have continued to multiply as roads have been built throughout the country. Poor i communities have been made rich by t no effort of their own, but because ] other communities found it advisable t to build roads through them. Some , poor communities have made them- ( selves rich by having the foresight \ to build roads, even though they had t to mortgage their very suspenders to t do it. In Los Angeles, California, | where roads are good and Ford li- j enses cost $8 a year, a carburetor is r sold with the guarantee that your ( Ford will travel thirty six miles on a t single gallon of gasoline. The guar- t antee only holds good on California roads. It is time that we began to think about these things and that is . the objet of this dessertation. Chesterfield will have good roads. Those who don't want them will not be able . to stand long in the way of progess, if those who do want them will make an effort. There are more who want them than who don't. Also, those who want them are worth two to one and then some of those who don't. So' we'll have them. A GOOD MAN FROM GERMANY In sending Maximilian Harden as German Ambassador to the United States Germany did the handsome a thing. Harden is a newspaper man of great ability and influence, a man who had no love for the Kaiser and was not afraid to say so even under f( the Kaiser's nose. He was opposed to militarism and all that it implies. c He will be heartily welcomed to the United States and can be of more g benefit to Germany as Ambassador r than any other man that could have ;U been selected for that high office. s, - - a The Government is calling upon t< people to use more wood and less v coal next winter to help solve the w the transportation problem and re- U lieve the coal situation, so that indus- a< trial plants may not be tied up and ai men thrown out of work by lack of d coal. The Government Forrest Service d says get out the buck saw and see if d you can't beat the Kaiser sawing K wood. hi ' . I Some jail birds are very polite. J One of them who broke out of jail n in California left this note: "I am hi sorry to leave you but your mosquitoea have become too durned aggressive." b' viAbawa's governor \ not "powerless" Commenting upon the statement >f Governor Bilbo, of Mississippi, that le was "utterly powerless" to conrol the mob, the Atlanta Constituion makes this creditable comment: If the Governors of States where ynch law and mob spirit prevails are n the same position as that confessed >y Governor Bilbo of Mississippi? 'utterly poweless" to resist the mob n defense of the law and the consti.ution which each is bound by his >ath of office to uphold, there is ligher authority that is not "utterly powerless" to grapple with outlawry in defense of the law and democratic nstitutions! And just as sure as the sun shall rise tomorrow, if the States do not joon abandon their "utterly powerless" attitude toward the curse of mob law the Federal Government will step in, assert its authority and prove that it is not "utterly powerless" to safeguard law and order! In this connection it is well to note that the mob that went to a jail in Alabama and killed a prisoner have been arrested, and twenty-eight men confessed their guilt and were punished. Sim Andrews,deputy sheriff, was sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years, Louis Bishop, fifteen years, and others got fines and imprisonment at hard labor. The Government is about to turn loose a vust quantity of preserved food stuffs that will be sold to consumers at and below cost. Nearly 150,000,000 pounds of cured meats and 5,500,000 cases of canned vegetables will be sold to wholesale merchants to be distributed to consumers through reail stores. That ought to help some to reduce the high cost of living. In advocating a readjustment of postmaster's salaries a congressman *aid that about all some postmasters got out of the office was the privilege of reading the postal cards. During the war some men who got a salary of $1.00 per year didn't even have any postal cards to read. France is to pay the United States over $500,000,000 for the railroads, buildings and military stores left in France by our engineers and soldiers. Dur boys did some good work over there besides whipping the Huns. They built railroads and put up buildings for storing supplies. A building that cost John D. Rockefeller $300,000, that was used as a hospital during the war, will be lonated by Jawn to New York City is a home for drug addicts. Now look out for a rise in the price of ;as. DPPOSED TO TRYING KAISER IN LONDON It now seems likely that the former Emperor Willihm will not be tried in London. Earl Curzon, Government Leader in the Upper House, has anlounced that there were grave reaions why the Government ought not o pursue any further the project of rying the German War Lord. It is .hought by the House of Lords to be mfitting to have an English Judge it on a tribunal to administer a law le does not know by proceedure and las never been defined in a court. TOBACCO GROWERS ORGANIZE On last Friday, pursuant to a call ssued by Governor Cooper, many of he tobacco growers of South Caroina assembled at Florence and form d a protective organization. The nceting had been suggested to the lovernor by some of the growers, vho see danger in the low prices ffercd by buyers. The name of the rganization will be "The South Caroina Tobacco Growers' Association." {right Williamson, of Darlington, wSs nade president and G. B. Ingraham, .f Hemingway, is the secretary and reasurer. A committee was appointd to draft by-laws and at the next neeting, to be held soon, the organzation will be perfected and its obects will be stated in definite terms. Chesterfield county was representd by Sherilf D. P. Douglass, Mr. W. . Tiller and others. Sheriff Douglass yas elected a member of the execuive eommif t???? snul will I-Iinlinnu ?< ( present this county in ull the Assoiation's movements. DAYS OF DIZZINESS !om? to Hundred* of Chesterfield People There are days of dizziness;* Spells of headache, languor, backche; Sometimes rheumatic pains; Often urinary d'eorders. Doan's Kidney Pills are especially or kidney ills. Endorsed by residents of this viinity. Mrs. H. W. Boyett, HOI E. Evans I., Florence, S. C., says: "I had terible pains in the small of my back nd when I stooped, the pains were ? bad, I thought I was struck with sha ip anife. I had a terrible time > straighten up. I had awful, nerous spells and the least little thing rould irritate me. 1 was also troub d with dizzy spells. My kidneys eted irregularly and caused me much nnoyance. 1 was told I had Bright's isease, but I knew I didn't. I tried , ilferent remedies but nothing I took I id me any good until I used Doan's; idney Pills. After I had taken one ! ox I saw a change in my condition, j took two more boxes and they en- j rely cured me. That was six 10-nths ago and I still am in good j oalth. I know Doan's Kidney Pills re a wonderful medicine." 60 c at all dealers. Foster-Miliirp Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N.Y. Ad.3 d f SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS) ESTIMATES 'iN CQUNT1ES B. B. Hare, field agent of the bureau of crop estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture,has recently issued his report showing the value of all crops and live stock in South Carolina in 1918, by counties, also the value of the three principal crops grown in each county. Cotton, corn and oats were considered the : s i ? > . principal crops in mi counties, except Darlington, Dillon, Marion, Horry, Florence, Williamsburg and Clarendon, where cotton, com and tobacco, were the ranking crops as to value, while in Charleston and Beaufort Counties cotton, com and potatoes were considered the chief crops. By studying the table of values in 1918 printed below it will be seen that Chesterfield County ranks 22d, just half way among the 44 counties of the State. This is encouraging as is has not been many years since I this county was always mentioned j near the bottom in matters of this j kind. The following arc the values as .compiled by Mr. Hare for publication: County Live-stock And Crops Abbeville .. $7,888,000 Aiken 14,525,000 Anderson 19,109,000 Bamberg 8,786,000 Barnwell 15,667,000 Beaufort 4,209,000 Berkeley 6,759,000 Calhoun 8,774,000 Charleston 6,753,000 Cherokee . 6,704,000 Chester 8,103,000 Chesterfield . 8,636,000 Clarendon 12,433,000 Colleton 10,929,000 Darlington . 15,912,000 Dillon 12,286,000 Dorchester . . 5,343,000 Edgefield 8,330,000 Fairfield 7,868,000 Florence 15,826,000 Georgetown .......... 2,867,000 Greenville 12,901,000 Greenwood 8,619,000 Hampton 6,984,000 Horry 8,511,000 Jasper .* 4,084,000 Kershaw 8,650,000 Lancaster 7,233,000 Liuurcun 1 Z,.5V*JtUUU Lee 12,296,000 Lexington 10,248,000 McCormick 6,598,000 Marion 9,242,000 Marlboro 17,807,000 Newberry . 10,167,000 Oconee 6,979,000 Orangeburg 25,923,000 Pickens 6,669,000 Richland 7,450,000 Saluda . 9,738,000.

SOUTH TO LEAD IN ROAD BUILDING Recent reports received by the United States Department of Agriculture on Federal aid road projects show the South moving forward in the road-building campaign, with projects showing higher grade construction. Of the 16 Georgia projects aiiDrovod for Anril tw.. LUi.ri. f bridges, 7 fur concrete and 1 fur either a brick or concrete, or bituminous road, the others being fur sandy-clay roads. The concrete rouds will cost from $30,000 to $32,000 a mile, indicating the highest type construction, for the cost in the South is usually less than in the North. Lousiana will build a short bituminous macadam road at an estimated cost of $36,377 a mile. Virginia has one bituminous macadam and three concrete ropus in projects appro *u. MAY GET YOUR DOPE FOR FIVE A SHOT AGAIN A movement is on in Washington for the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on soft drinks. It is also thought that the pgpsent tax of ten per cent, on grape juice and kindred fruit drinks will be reduced to two cents a ! gallon. CALOMEL SALIVATES AND MAKES YO'J SIC:: , Acta like dynamite on a aluggiah liver and you loae a day'a work There's no reason why a parson should take sickening, salivating calomel when a few cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone?a perfect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid! which will start vour liver iust is surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not salivate. Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless. Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bon'.s. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a day's work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more billiousness, constipation, sluggishness, head- J ache, coated tongue or sour stomach. ( Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone act better than , horrible calomsl your money is waiting for you. Adv. 8. i.A.

I never enjoyed g a meal during all that time and I was a as nervous as I could be and could ' not bear any noise or excitement. I . g"ot so weak I was not able to do anything around .the house and fell off s in weight until I weighed only ninety- j five pounds.

Adv A GOOD WOMAN GONE On the 23d day of June, Sister ' Sarah Sellers, in the 88th year of 1 her age, passed out, from this world 1 to her home in Heaven, after several weeks of suffering. All that medical science could do * was done for her, but it seemed that ! her work on earth was done and she / c said that she was ready to go. Sister * Sellers was a true and faithful woman 1 and a true type of the ex-Confederate woman. While her husband followed * Lee and Jackson in that bloody con-* ' flict she remained at home and made " a living for herself and her small children. I For more than fifty years she has been a consistent member of Hope- j well Baptist church, and will be great- c ly missed by her church and her pas- I tor. Her husband and two of he^ ? children preceded her to the heavenly country. She leaves about 130 ' t descendants to mourn their loss, which is her eternal gain. She leaves one son who is now in t mn <?u year ana nine otner children t and grand children; 48 groat-grand children and several great-great ^ grand children. She was a faithful wife and mother and a kind and obliging neighbor, a true and good woman, and my prayer is that the Saviour may be much with her family during these sad days. J.'H. Hildreth, Pastor. GLAD TOTESTIFY Say* Watoga Lady, "As To What Cardui Has Done For Me, So As To Help Others." Watoga, W. Va ?Mrs. S. W. Glad well, of this town, says: "When about 15 years of age, I suffered greatly ... Sometimes would go a month or two, and I had terrible headache, backache, and bearing- 1 down pains, and would just drag and I had no appetite. Then ... it would last . .. two weeks, and was so weakening, : and my health was awful. My mother bought me a bottle of Cardui, and I began to improve after taking the first bottle, so kept it up till I took three ... 1 gained, and was. well and itrnnir anrl I nur. ii oil tn for/I. | I am married now and have 3 children J |. .. Have never had to have a doctor for | 1 female trouble, and Just resort to Cardui i it I need a tonic. I am glad to testify to what it has done for me, so as to help | others." If you are nervous or weak, have headaches, backaches, or any of the other ailments so common to women, why not give Cardui a trial? Recommended by many physicians. In use over 40 years. Begin taking Cardui today. It may be the very medicine you need. NC-130 DOG CATCHING IN COLUMBIA i I Because Columbia had become so < trer run with homeless dogs it was < ecid.ed to enforce a law - that had | een on the statute books for fifty ears, but never had been carried ' at. This law offered a reward of a ollar for any stray dog brought td te city hall without a license tag. The sward became active last week. The | nail boys got busy. Also some of the irger boys. In the first three dnys hundred stray canines were uwaitlg owners or execution. Quite ,a ew persons, missing the stray pet ' ushcd to the pound and paid the dol*r and the license fee besides, but the Teat majority were left to the xecutioner. Gas is used end wo or three dozen may be put to leep at one time. It is thought that it the present rate Columbiu will be airly free of stray dogs in a few treeks, the estimate of a casual oberver placing the number at about 1,000. Meantime, the small boy is netting rich and has been cautioned igainst catching dogs out side of Coutnbia, as that city doesn't propose o pay for cleaning up other localities. i^uier: x ne cuy nail oecome so iwamped with howling, yowling, kiriing kiyoodles of all sorts, conditions ind degrees that a meeting was called ind the dollar fee was revoked.
