The Chesterfield Advertiser Paul H. und Fred G. Hearn Editors PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Subscription Rates: $1.50 a Year ix months, 75 cents.?Invariably ir advance. Entered as second-class matter at th? postofTice at Chesterfield, South Carolina. WATCH US GROW! The organization of a building and loan association in Chesterfield is a fine, progressive movement. No town can have a successful building and loan society and not progress, for the success of the society depends upon buildings being erected. On the other hand, no town without such an organization can make much headway. For the man of sufficient income to pay rent and support a family, the building and loan plan offers a home of his own, built on his own property, after his own ideas, instead of a handful of rent receipts. For the small investor it offers a sure means of independence through the encouragement of thrift and small monthly savings. For the town it offers steady advancement and growth through encouraging home building and home pride. That Chesterfield needs and accepts th'-se offers is evidenced by the earnestness with which our good people have taken hold of the plan. The Advertiser knows no better way to build un a eitv of Chesterfield. It h:>s found no bunker, or iinuncial authority who can suggest a safer or sounder method of investment. To a citizen, building and loan stock pays dividends in several ways. The interest is sure and the money invested is spent at home for home improvement. The Home Building and Loan Association, of Chesterlield, has had an auspicious beginning. It is well organized and no institution can boast of a liner set of officers. The response of the people to the call of progress has been magnificent. It is the duty of every resident of our town and county to come forward and take stock, if only a single share, to help along this great movement the results of which will be of sue! great benefit to ail, whether stockholders or apathetic onlookers. From now on the slogan of everj Chesterlieldian will be: "Watch u; grow!" THE MONROE DOCTRINE Some of the severest criticisms ol the League of .Nations is that th? Monroe Doctrine would not be pre served to the United Stales if thi: country became a member of th< League; that we would not be in < position to force the nations ol Europe to regard our rights. The real meaning of the Monroe Doctrine is that all of the States of North am South America should be entirely fret from European interference. It wa: the doctrine that gets its name fron President James Monroe, who, in i message to congress in said "The American continents should n< longer be subjects for any Europeai settlements. We should consider an; attempt on their part to extend then system to any portion of this hemi sphere as dangerous to our peace am safety." The United States has held to thi doctrine strictly ever since it was an nounced. In fact at one time th< United States and Great Britain al most came to the lighting point ovei the dispute that England had witl Venezuela over boundary lines. Hj an act of congress President Clove land was directed to urge Great Brit am to submit to arbitration the ques f ian n: h/il Kor \//?n<?vni.la tnoo /. ? mo not entitled to the territory clainie< by both countries. President Cleveland took the actioi suggested hy congress and Crea Britain agreed that a conunissioi should he appointed hy the Unite* States to consider the matter. Th< commission was appointed arid organ ized, with Chief Justice Brewer, o the United States Supreme Court, a; prcsid'-nt of the Commission. Crea Britain and Venezuela were inviiei to present their cases in support ol their claims, which was done. Ther the two countries signed the treaty providing for submitting their respective claims to arbitration. The treaty provided that the arbitration tribunal should sit in Paris. After hearing both sides the tribunal divided the disputed territory at the mouth of the Orinoco river, giving Great Britain a strip of the disputed territory and decreed that the m. < th of the Orinoco should be open to Great Britain. Thi matter was settled and so far as The Advertiser knows both parties have been happy ever afterward. As to getting into trouble with any European powers over the Monroe Doctrine, as some of the enemies of the cLague of Nations claim, this statement of Pre indent Wilson in one ^ of his recent speeches ought to settle the question. He said that when he came hack from Paris he had a conference with the foreign relations committee in Waaihngton and one of | the suggestions as to the League of Nations was concerning the Monroe Doctrine. The proposition that the Monroe Doctrine should be protected was written in the Covenant. Not only was that doctrine specifically reserved to administration by the United States, but it had been extended to all the world. So that the bugbear, the alarming and frightful bugbear, that Senator Lodge and his followers have been exhibiting in Congress, to frighten timid congressmen, has faded into thin air, collapsed, gone, as it were, where the woodbine twineth, etc. Senator Knox will have to hunt up another scare crow. The Department of Agriculture at Washington urges Southern platners ; I to stock up immediately on seed sweet i potatoes for next spring's planting, the northern potato crop being below normal. ? ' RAISING PEAS IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY Mr. C. H. McCoy, of McBec, brought a handful of peas to Chesterfield this week that, because of the exceptional size of the pods, attracted consiedrable attention. They are known as the Coker Variety Speckled Peas. A pod measured ten inches in length and contained 21 peas. Mr. McCoy bought a gallon of these seed two years ago for a dollar. From that start he gathered from his first crop 5,000 pounds from two acres this summer and his second crop is well along toward maturity. No fertilizer whatever was used. As seed the peas will bring $4.00 per bushel, leaving much good hay and enriching ..he soil besides. STATE NEWS Clenison College has opened with the targets enrollement ever placed on the books of that institution. The negro, Sirus Brown, who shot and killed Josiah Broom, at Blaksburg last Sunday morning, died of his wounds at the GalTney hospital Monday. Mrs. S. K.

This was the find. - ing of a chemist in a beer test before ff Judge Land is. Milwaukee beer valL lied at $150,000 had been seized on t the way to Chicago. It was said to I be 2.75 beer when it left Milwaukee. 1 It is legal beer in Wisconsin, but il icgai in Illinois. w neri tne invasion i was halted, six trucks of bottled beer stood in the sun for many hours. The ' Government sent a chemist to find its I alcoholic content. Something uncanny had happened. The beer regis tered from G to 15 per cent, alcohol. George R. .Johnson, the chemist, i said rays of sun would cause unpasturized beep to ferment to such a degree that bottles would explode. "Its worse than peach brandy," atid the Judge, looking at a bottle of he brew. All the Milwaukee brewers were present. There is a lot of local thinking in progress.
