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

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."

COTTON GRADING
f By W. W. 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

. . .
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.
