W Tie Chesterfield Advertiser jjjjltwUB. Q. H.?ra PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY ? Subscription Rates: fl.BO a Year; six months. 75 cents.?Invariably in advance. Entered as second-class matter at the postofflce at Chesterfield, South Carolina. KEEP OUT THE GOATS Among the important measures that congress will be called1 upon to consider is that of immigration. The United States is in danger of becoming a dumping ground of the human rubbish of Europe. Among the sad renil ltd nf thii WnrlH W or ?flPnotin tliio OI.VVV...6 """ country is the threatened invasion of the United States by the dissatisfied, the lame and the lazy of the European countries. Recent statistics show that during the first four months of the fiscal year, when the record was kept, there were over three hundred thousand immigrants received in this country. It will be necessary to make entry into the American ports of foreigners more difficult. The Advertiser would not urge the rejection from our shores of the worthy and the well meaning citizens of the old world who wish to ninke their homes in America. But there must be some method of separating the wheat from the chaff, or to use another Bible smile, the goats from sheep. It will take wise legislation to discriminate in favor- of the worthy immigrant. It is a job for' statesmen. A bill by Senator King, of Utah, a distinguished Democratic leader, has been proposed that will provide means for the exclusion of undersirable aliens. After excluding and sending back to Russia such unspeakable rubbish as Emma Ooldman and similar agitators it would be the height of absurdity to admit to this country other people of the same ilk. The "red" rabble must be kept out if we desire peace, progress and prosperity to prevail. COMMON SENSE OF COTTON-HOLDING MOVEMENT From The Progressive Farmer: What is the common sense of the cotton-holding movement? It can be very easily explained. The New York Economic World.in its latest issue now before us, gives the reasons for the present low price of cotton in very simple language. The Economic World isn't trying to please cotton growers or to help cotton prices. It is simply reporting the undisputed facts for the information of its read-1 ers in New York and elsewhere. Here is the way it sizes up the situation: "The difficulty is, of course, that the spinners in every cotton consuming: country in the world find themselves almost completely at sea with regard to the future of the goods market, or else fatally handicapped either by the abnormalities of the international credit and exchange position, or by political and social disturbances of a very threatenng kind. Hence they do not dare to commit themselves upon the customary scale in respect to their raw material for the coming months even though the price at which it is now obtainable is entirely satisfactory. They must perforce pursue a purely hand-to-mouth policy, taking for the present only such cotton as they have immediate use for and leaving it to the cotton producers to carry the main part of the supply until the future determines how much of it can be consumed and nt U/^uf nriefl " In other words, the Economic World says that the reason mills are not buying cotton is not that they can't spin it at a profit at present prices, but simply because their inability to get bank credit, etc., makes it impossible to buy except on a "hand-to-mouth" basis. They are taking just enough cotton to get along on from day to day. Consequently if farmers try to force them to buy enough for three, six or nine months ahead, the mills simply say, "Well, if 1 buy a whole lot -more than I want now, you will practically have to give it to me." To try to feed the cotton market now is like trying to get more corn down a foundered horse. It is like trying to make a man eat three or or four more pieces of chocolate cake after he has already filled himself with dinner and dessert. He doesn't want it NOW?but if you just wait till tomorrow, he will beg for it. What is the remedy? The remedy is to get the facts before the farmers. We must educate the farmer who is trying to overfeed the market. We must get him to read the papers that are trying to fight his battles and give him more information and guidance about his marketing problems. We must inform him concerning such triumphs of cooperative efforts as California growers have achieved. We must get him to attend the meetings where his interests are discussed. We must get him to join the warehousing organization provided for his benefit. But the first step is to get him to read. If he gets the facts about the market and the causes and remedies for present conditions, then these other things will follow. It P*y? "Does it pay to advertise?" "I'll say it does. I advertised for a lost dog the other day and had my pick of seventeen good ones."?Detroit Ft? Press. | ABIGAIL ADAMS ^ FIRST SUFFRAGIST Woman Suffrage is not a new Idea. It was advocated by the Revolutionary mothers of America. In fact, the wife of President Adams wrote to John that unless women were given the right to vote there would be anoth" er revolution.

Dear Advertiser: Next to one's own loved ones conies the paper published in their home town. The Advertiser, when received, is always a visitor of welcome. We only wish more of the correspondents would write. Ther are a few items from here which might he of interest to folks of our county: The State Teachers' Association was held here last week. There were several hundred teachers in attendance. On Thanksgiving evening at 8:30 the meeting opened at Converse College. The address of welcome was given by Prof. Frank Evans, Superintendent of City Schools here, the humorous response was made by Prof. J. E. Swearingin, our State Superintendent of Education. On Friday afternoon the teachers were invited to meet at the Chamber o^ Commerce, where they were met by the liberal hearted' car owners of Spartanburg and were given a joy ride over the city and then out to Cedar Springs Institute, where a special Thanksgiving program was rendered by the deaf, dumb and blind students of the [ Institution. The meeting was one of great interest and profit. So far as we know there were only two teachers from Chesterfield County, Prof. Collier and Miss MeLeod, of McBee and our Superintendent of Education, Prof. J. A. Knight, of Chesterfield. Mr. B. C. Moore and family are "adopted children" of Spartanburg. Mr. Huntley, of Ruby, is manager of Efiird's Department Store here. Mr. John D. Collins, formerly of Chesterfield Coanty, owns and controls "The Bee Hive." Several will probably be interested to know that Miss Grace Colter, (laughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Coker, of the Wexford community is up here in school at Cedar Springs. Miss Coker is taking a course for the blind. So we see that Chesterfield county is well represnted in the "Athens of the Carolinas." Let the various correspondents irive the county news and it will be of much interest to those at home and those absent. Regards to the Advertiser and readers, Miss Mary E. Sowell. VAUGHAN ITEMS (Held over from last week) The health of this community, we are glad to say, is very good. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Stroud, of Patrick, spent Saturday and Sunday here, the guests of Mr. and.Mrs. A. M, Stroud. Mr. and Mrs. Julian Teal visited relatives at McFarlan, N. C., Saturday and Sunday.

Mr. Frank Vaughan spent a pari of the past week in Mt. Croghan. Master Conrad Smith was quite sick. Sunday, but is some better at this writing.

Mr. Harvey Streater will select the leeson chapter for next Sunday night. We are glad to note that the farmers in this section are using common sense. A lot of small grain is being planted this fall. David's Grove Church is a new church located near the Vaughan School House. Rev. A. B. Smith, the pastor, is well known throughout the Chesterfield Association and is loved by all who know him. Five new members were added to the church the Fourth Sunday of November and new members are constantly being added to the Sunday School roll. GATHERING MOMENTUM Real progress is now marking .the efforts of cotton growers to put the selling of their products on a business basis. The long staple cotton growers of the Mississippi Valley are organizing after the plan of the California raisin growers. A similiar organization is beng worked out by the long; staplc cotton growers of South Carolina. Oklahoma is going ahead with its plans for a state-wide cotton association with the crop of the state coveder by contracts. The American Cotton Association has consolidated with the State Farm Bureaus and will hereafter be the cotton division of the Bureau. Its purpose henceforth will be to work definitely for the forming of organizations that will build warehouses and have their members bind themselves to their associations with legal contracts to sell their cotton only through it. This indicates that the American Cotton As sociation is taking a definite step toward an actual association on a business basis. In a number of states last year communities employed cotton graders and salesmen. Each of these points should be made the nucleus of a marketing: association. It will soon be time now to unify and coordinate these separate e{Torts. A great Southern cotton marketing association is in order, at which all groups and organizations should forget any selfish interests, pool their efforts into a definite plan for pushing the organizing of cotton marketing associations in every corner of the South on the California plan, with the cotton of the members covered by contracts, just as the above associations are doing.?The Progressive Farmer.

CANDY RECIPES Miss Haynie Telia How To Mak? Christmas Sweats At Hnm. For the benefit of those interested in making Christmas candies, I recommend the following recipes Penoche 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup granulated sugar, % cup sweet milk, sprinkle salf, 1 tablespoonful butter, 1 cup nuts, 1 teaspoonful vanilla. Mix sugar, milk, salt and butter. Cook until it forms a soft ball in water. Let it stand in cold water until cool. Add nuts and vanilla. Beat until stiff. Pour in buttered pans and cut in squares. A In. J. Blanch one-fourth pound almonds and dTy on a towel. Put one-third cup olive oil or Wesson oil in a very small sauce pan. When hot, put in one-fourth of the almonds and fry until delicately browned, stirring to keep almonds constantly in motion. Remove with a spoon or small skimmer, taking up as little oil as possible. Drain on brown paper and sprinkle with salt; repeat until all are fried. It may be necessary to remove some of the salt by wiping nuts with a napkin. Salted Peanuts In buying peanuts for salting, get Kovn ? a_ J viumg mis nisv ui me Doiiing sumitg is unnecessaryt but when nearly done, it should be constantly stirred.
