Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at Chesterfield, South ' Carolina. ABOUT ROAD MACHINERY During the present jcur Chesterfield County will on its roads a sum not far from 0U0. These figures are not official. 'I he public, the tax-paying public, are not furnished with the figures; hut a careful estimate will bring the total for road maintenance to approximately the above figure. The question that naturally arises is: What have we got? Our roads are certainly no better than they were a year ago; many are not as good. And it cannot be said that the work that has been done was not needed. The complaint is that it is of no permanent value. The recent light rains have destroyed all evidences of road work in the county, with the excepion of one or two culverstand bridges that have been installed on a somewhat permanent plan. Within the past week some very excellent grading has been done on the road running though Chesterfield, but with no surfacing tnis grading will endure but a few weeks. The county is partly equipped to build roads, why not fully equip? A small part of the year's expenditure on maintenance would purchase a steam shovel with which the balance of this money would surface many miles of permanent roads. The matter has been before the county commissioners for some time. They have facts and figures which will prove all that has been stated above. \\ hv do they hesitate? MR. TILLER'S WITHDRAWAL The announcement last week of Mr. W. J. Tiller's withdrawal from the race for sheriff caused much surprise and has been the subject of conisderable comment throughout the county. Much regret has been expre.ssed in many quarters by many loyal friends who were anxious to support Mr. Tiller. There is some concern now as to whether Mr Tiller will continue to act as County Demonstation Agent. He has 11 lied this office so satisfactorily to the people of the county that it is earnestly desired that he withdraw his resignation and return to that field of endeavor. The Advertiser adds its voice to that of many of its readers in requesting Mr. Tiller to serve the coun ty in this important office There an other offices than those of sheriff ant demonstration agent that are withir the gift of the people of the county and other campaigns are coming. Tht man who has served the people wel in one capacity will serve to the best of his ability in anothe-.so we predicl that Will Tiller's withdrawal from the present race is not the end of hii political career, but the beginning. Henry Watterson is .-till interested in politics, although out of the editorial harnesss. He nas sent this message to Governor James .V. Cox: "Your nomination revitalizes Demo ....... i> ...:i ? ?u.. r< u... it w 11 tut* I'lriiM'tKUit nrai | of the nation with the reflection of si triumphant past and the forecast ot a radiant future. To the bosom of on? old Kentuckian it brings a flood ot fighting memories along with the as huranee of a glorious victory." TOO MAN V SHIRTS A man was arreste 1 in Louisville Kentucky for wearing nine silk shirts He was arrested nr. because the shirts were silk or because he had or nine, hut hcause they were stolen. It is a case where the question of the poet Young applies?"Could not onr Suffice ?"Considering the weather one shirt is enough to wear at one time." A wise exchange remarks that while money makes the mare go, it takes gasoline to make the motor go. WATSON FOR THF. TICKET In the first issue of his paper after the Democratic Gonvcnti >n adjourned at San Francisco, Tom Watson said Georgia Democrat- were not. bound to support the nominees of that convention. He gave as a reason the refusal of the convention to seat the Hoke Smith-Watson delegates. Before his next issue was out Watson sent telegrams to both Democratic nominees, Cox and Roosevelt, congratulating them and promising them his support. What lias Watson got up his sleeve? It is said he has one eye, perhaps both eyes on Hoke Smith's seat in the United States Senate. A girl disguised as a boy scout started out from Chattanooga to go around the world. She got as far as Greenville, South Caolina, when she / delide the world was too big and went back to papa and mama. UK REPUBLICAN BOODLE In the investigation of the use of money in the campaign of General Wood it was shown that millions of dollars were subscribed to boost his nomination. The money was contributed by interests that expected, of course, to profit by his nomination and election. Big business subscribes money to any matter oniy when it expect to get that money back with interest. J. B. Duke, the millionaire tobacconits contributed $1,000,000, George W. Perkins gave $10,000 and H. H. Rogers, of the Standard Oil Company, $50,000. Checks for $5,000 were sent to Georgia to catch the negro Republican vote, the same amount went to Florida. The balance of the million was distributed among the "faithful" in other states. Congressman Mann, a leading Republican, denounced this use of money in the Wood campaign, he condemned it in most indignant terms. .Mann was ?>f course, for I.owden, the Illinois candidate, hut he didn't hesitate to tell tales out of M'houl. lie lambasted the Wood men furiously and incidentally let it out that patriotism was at a. discount and boodle was scattered by so-called virtuous Republicans. It was thought that when Senator Newberry and his friends spent $180,000 to win a seat in the Senate over Henry Ford, the limit has been reached but this million dollars raised iri the Wood campaign makes Newberry a piker. GLASS VERSUS BRYAN Senator Carter Glass, who resigned the oltice of secretary of the teasury to become Senator exerted big influences at the Democratic Convention at San Fancisco. In discussing Hon. William .1. Bryan's suggestion as to the platform he said: "Mr. Bryan wants to drive the profiteers into the Republican paty ami 1 want to put them in jail."

Long, Director Extension Service 5 Clemson College, July 18?The . grading of cotton is the first step in . the scientific marketing of this pro1 duct. There are many difficulties to be overcome in order that the farmer and the community may receive the greatest benefit from the location of ' j a State and Government trader at the central market of the county. Un' fortunately many of the commercial s buyers look upon nn official cotton ' grader as onc wh0 js hostile to their ' interest. On some mnikets where the official (rrader has been located commercial buyers have thrown every ob5 stack* in the way of the grader in per( forming his services to the funnel's. They have refused to acecpt his grades, and they have been known to ' raise his grades in order to discredit him with the farmers, llowtver, when the commercial buyes realize that the official grader is chore not only for 1 the purpose of assisting the farmers, but also for the purpose of assisting iall who are interested in the cotton navket, and on some of the markets the commercial buyers today buy only cotton that h'as been classed by the official grader. The primary object in locating an official grader in a market is to protect the interest of th_* farmer by infoming him as to the actual grade of his cotton in order that he mnv . deul with the buyer in an intelligent 1 , manner. At the same time he is 1 . rendering assistance to the buyer by I relieving him of the actual work of! ( sampling and grading and thus re-! J moving all suspicion from the mind ^ . of the farmer that his cotton has 1 not been properly graded. If the i I grader is competent, no honest buyer ? can or will object to such service. 1 See Me ly Customers to Call on Me at Mr. /Kite Corn, Feed Oats. le Bargains in Shoes and Hats. r Cotton at best prices ess on the Live and Let Live basis. i by the Golden Rule and do you 1 .

Th? position is an exceedingly difficult and delicate one to fill and it is very necessary that'the official grader have the backing of the farmers and business men in performing his duties. When cotton has deen graded by a State and Federal grader and the grade stated in the receipt of a bonded warehouse, a loan on such cotton can be easily secured from the banks. I stated that grading was the first *tep in scientific marketing of cotton. The second step is the warehouing 5f the cotton, and the third step will be the direct selling of cotton from the bonded warehouse to the manufacturer. So it can be seen that before we can ever hope to work out % system of selling direct from the producer to the manufacturer, the problems of grading and warehousing must be solved. Of course incompetent men may sometimes be se:ured, but this is merely nn incident, ind such a situation can be quickly relieved! What is necessnry in orler to have the grading of cotton by State und Federal graders firmly es;ablished is for our farmers and busiless men to give th* cotton gader heir moral support and cooperate vith him in every way. The Extension Service in cooperaion with the Bureau of Markets of ;he United States Department of Agriculture has had several cotton grades located in the State for the past wo years, and has received many etters from farmers as to the high alue they put upon this service.
