B. Rh * uino l rvVSITI lYIUnn s IV] ILL . There is and has been more sickness in this section of late than for many years. Influenza and pneumonia have been the cause of several s deaths. There are a few new cases of "flu" in the neighborhood, but it seems to be subsiding. Mr. J. D. Johnson has returned from a hospital in Columbia where he underwent an operation for appenditis. He is getting along nicely. This community has recently lost two estimable ladies by death. Mrs. j Daniel Sullivan succumbed to influ-, enza and Miss Eliza Demby was the i victim of heart disease. Mr. B. T. Miles has moved from here to Mr. K. C. Johnson's at Middendorf where he will farm and look after a herd of cattle. Mr. J. R. Lynn has erected a nice tenant house on his farm. Rev. James Russell is expected to begin a protracted meeting at Rocky Creek Presbyterian Church on March U. It is hoped the flu will have so far abated as not to interfere. 1 The Sunday Schools at Rock Creek and Fork Creek will open up as soon as possible. The Sundays are too long without Sunday School and al- , ready the interest seems to be lag- ] ging with many people. A very little excuse seems to be justifiable. ( The farmers have done very little i work toward a new crop as the weather has been so unfavorable that it i is likely that we will all be late There are a number of one, two and 1 three horse farms without tenants and it seems probable that they will ' go unfarmcd this year unless some families leave the cotton mills to cultivate them. , Having spent three days in the < town of Ruby enumerating census I was able to mingle with old friends < and get acquainted with new ones i and am sorry that I was unable to : continue the work as it is very pleas- i ant_to mingle with such good people I as Ruby has. I came in contact with , the most curteous people I have ever 1 met. < Mr. E. N. Clark and Supervisor 1 Knight are doing some fine work on the old Camden road through this section, Hock Creek and the Macedonia section that is speaking well of them. With the gang and but a few hands much has been accomplished. This piece of road was supposed to be useless but since it has been worked up it is very useful indeed. This road I lays through some the best farming section and nassess by three churches and jurist mill. There has never been a Kuritf on this road before and it was thought for years that it would be thrown away, but it is not a dead community and Mr. Knight knows that some of the older settlers are entitled to some of the county work. There are several cases of mumps in this community. It will always pay you to see me when in need of anything in my line. I am generally under the other fallow in price and ahead of him in quality.

Dealer HARDING SEES SOUTH NO LONGER "SOLID" Senator Expresses Hope of Republican Inroads In A Number of States Kansas City, Mo., March 1.-?Signs of a political change in the South are visible, and the breaking up of the old Democratic control in Texas, Louisiana and other Southern States is a possibility according to Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, candidate for the Republican nomination for President. "It is gratifying," said Mr. Harding in an address delivered here tonight, "to feel a full felowship in a great imiiy wmcn nas icit sucn an impress of htdpfulness that all of the United States arc turning to the Republicans for the restoration hoped for in every American heart. So striking is this truth that there is a confident belief that the sectional lines which heretofore have marked the limits of Republican majorities to be ; yroken.and the solid South,Democratic | for two generations, henceforth will be no more than a political memory. "Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia ind Louisiana are encouraging Republican hopes. Texas ,not so promising, is demanding the reorganization of the Democratic Party, with restored Jeffersonianism, and, while it is at it Texas may go the whole route to redemption and turn to confident Republicanism for the realization of its higher aspirations." PEACE AND LIBERTY OR IGNOMINIOUS DEFEAT The National Get Together seems to be marshaling its armies. All candidates should be made to answer where and how they stand on these luestions: Are you a white male citizen, 21 or over and how do you <tand on the League of Nations? How lo you stand on liberty, peace, justice and freedom and are you a true American and do you stand by the Stars and Stripes? Can you carry the muse of peace and liberty to its glorious end? Peace, liberty and justice to all the world is where I stand. P. C. Campbell. QUARANTINE SOON TA n r * f i-"ri-rv 1 i yj dc. Lir c.v The influenza quarantine will most likely he lifted either the latter part of the week or the beginning of next. If the present favorable weather continues or a few days longer it is thought that the danger of an epidemic in Chesterleld will have been passed and while no official word has been given out by the Board of j Health, it is understood that body is considering raising the restric- j tions providing no cases are reported j prior to its next meeting. One or two mild cases are said to exist in town. The school board will await the decision of the Board of Health before announcing a resumption of school.

Grogh an COTTON CONVENTION NEXT WEEK Columbia March I?-The Annual Cotton Convention of the American Cotton Association will be held' at Montgomery, Alabama, March, 912, 1920. The auditorium there will comfortably seat 5,000 delegates n"d it is our hope to have every seat lilied with delegates of men and women from every section of the Cotton Belt, including the cotton growing areas of Arizona and California. R. M. Mixson, President of the South Carolina Division makes this statement about the convention: "The convention will be devoted to the di' cussion of broad economic measures of reform in the future baling, handling, warehousing and marketing the cotton crop. The most vital subject of reform for 1920 will be centered in the immediate construction of adequate warehouse facilities in every cotton growing County. The Governors of the cotton states have been invited to attend the Conference, to jointly consider the enactment of State Warehouse legislation based upon uniformity of operation. Governor R. G. Pleasant of Louisiana will preside as Chairman of the Gov ernors Conference, many of whom have already accepted the invitation to bo present. The local warehouse problem as to construction and operation will be handled by a L.ige committee composed of tiu' oflicials of the Warehouse Division, Federal Bureau of Markets, State Directors of Extension Service, State Directors, 15areau of Markets and oflicials of the American Cotton Association. A.Southern Bankers' Conference is being provided for which will consider the he .t methods of financing the cotton crop in storage while the same is being slowly marketed by the growers. Mr Nathan Adams, a prominent banker of Dallas, Texas, has been invited to preside over the Conference of Bankers. Governor W. I*. G. Harding of tiie Federal Reserve Board has already accepted an invitation to be present at the Convention and deliver a strong and forceful addrc. s endorsing the economic aims and purposes of the American Cotton Association. This address will be one of the most important of the Convention. Mr. \V G. Turner, of , Memphis, the recognized Dean of the raw cotton trade in the South, and the Gen,erul Manager of the largest concentrating plant for storing and comp ressing cotton in this country, will deliver an address covering an exposition of th" primitive and wasteful practices employed by the cotton merchant; in the handling of the cotton crop between the growers and th< spinners. U. S. Senator Joseph E. I Ransdell of Louisiana will deliver a carefully prepared address an "The Economics of High Density Gin Compression." The presidents of the various A. & M. Colleges and the State Superintendents of Education of the Cotton States are accepting invitations to he present and form a sectional committee for the purpose of formulating plans for the specific cd- j ucation of our young men in the | I varied details of marketing farm pro- ' ! ducts, and especially with reference I to the grading, stapling, warehous-1 ing, ginning, financing and marketing i the cotton crop. Reform in the agri- j cultural education of the young men j of the South is one of the most vital needs of the present times. | "The farm women of the South are , to be recognized as vital factors in ' the future development of the organ- j izaiion work of the American Cotton j Association during the Montgomery : Convention. Two sessions <?f the Con- ! ference will he devoted to discussions ; of subjects devoted to the home and fireside. Hundreds of farmers wives and daughters are expected to he present at these special sessisons to hear addreses from some of the most : prominent women speakers of the South, and perfect their permanent organization. "Vital questions relating to the cot on acreage, production and eonsumpt tion of cotton and the imperative needs for greater areas planted in food and 'oed er :>s will he d'scus ed !>y soi. 10 of the e.hleii students of j these economic questions in tht South. I "The sessions of the Convention , will be noted for the discussion and consideration of great constructive reform measures, rather than the usual program of lengthy oratory. A few speeches on vital measures will of necessity be required, hut a large number of Sectional Committees will ho ha.:! <;t work, and during the conj vention short five and ten minute ; I d!;:; by the delegates are to he en couraged rather than lengthy prepared otldresscs." POPE?RAY Mr. Pau! Pope, of Southern Pines, j N. C., and Miss Mary A. Ray, of Raoford, N. C., came to Chesterfield Tuesj day morning on the C. & L. train and applied for licenses al the office of Judge Hough and were married by Rev. F. M. Cannon. They spent the I day at the Griggs hotel and left for I Southern Plies the same afternoon. WANTS MEAT INDUSTRY TO BE PUBLIC UTILITY v! u? Puckers With Service Coporations, Suggests Official Of Livcslosk A isociation Washington, Mr.roll 1.?The meat packing industry should he placed by Federal regulation "on some such footing as public utility corporations are now," the House Agriculture Committee was told by Charles O'Donnell of New Mexico, Vice Pre ident of the American Livestock Association. 'leading resolutions favoring such regulation, which he said were passed at the last convention of the association, Mr. O'Donnell said this was the only step which would give the stock grower confidence in the markets where he sold his products. "It may be that sharp fluctuations in price on the stock yards are unavoidable," he said, "but the man who takes a big loss on his cattle is suspicious. If there was a Federal committee which could investigate promptly and report as to the facts, he would take his medicine." Mr. O'Donnell said that ?tockmen objected to "government by injunction," and would rather have legislation covering the subject. "When we load our cattle now," he sai l, "there is nothing for us to do but to prey. They arc- at the mercy of the railroads; they are unloaded by a slock yards employe, who is an employe of the puckers; they are sold through a commission man, whose relations with the packers are closer than wit h us,' and whose salesman may he a stockholder in Swift Co." K. C. I.asater of Texas, appearing as Chairman of the Farmers' National Bo^rd and member of a special committee of the Farmers' National Council, classed the agitation for Federal regulations as. "a light between the home owners and home builders of the United Siat.es and the Chicago packers. "Armour, Swift, and every male member of their families could be put into jail without disturbing the packing industry for ninety days," hg asserted. "and alter that period the industry of cattle raising and distribution would 1 e pervaded with hope and confidence." Mr. I.asater declared that "dollars do make a difference before the courts in the United States, I believe, and the people of this country generally belie'.e so too." GENERAL WOOD OUTINES POLICIES In a recent speech at Jackson Michigan, before a large audience, Major General Leonard Wood outlined his policies. Business, he held, large as well as small, must be given every legitimate encouragement and support, for if labor is to remain content and prosperous buisness must also be prosperous. Reasonable profits, ju t wages and increaed production, the General maintained, were the anwers to the high cost of living problem. After arguing for a highly trained and efficient army of not more than 2!>0,000 men and a navy of the first class, efficient in every sense of tlaword. General Wood advocated national budget, paid a tribute to the farmer* of Ihu country, urtred the upbuilding of the American merchant marine, and emphasized the fact that he stands for the policy of Theodore Roosevelt in foreign relations- a policy, he said, which guarantees the safety of the life and'property of every American citizen, no matter in what part o the world that citizen hapens to be.
