The Chesterfield Advertiser Pt?wi iL ?uo I'red G. Hearn IuiU>r> PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Subscription Rates: $1.S0 a Year; six months. 75 cents.?Invariably in advance. Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at Chesterfield, South Carolina. In the past fifty years Mexico has ihreragcd one revolution a year. Under the new president perhaps she will not revolve, so rapidly, as Obregon seems to be a level headed ruler and may be able to prevent the Mexicans from trying to imitate the earth in its revolutions around the sun. THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION There were some people in the south who voted for Harding with the hope and idea that a change of administration would bring better times. A very large number of people in the North and West had that idea too. In fact, it is probably true that had the Republican party been in power the past four years the people would have voted for a change in the presidential chair. But those southern people who voted for Harding expecting aid from him in the financial crisis will find with chagrin that Harding is imbued with that sectional mistrust of the South that is part and parcel of the attitude of the Republican Senators with whom he has been so long associated in congress. We can only hope for the best. If the new administration and the new congress discriminate against the South in executive and legislative action the whole nation will sutler. The nation is very much like the church. ram, tne Aposuo, empnasizea tins fact: "For the body is not one member, but many. * * * And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it." The North can not prosper without the South. Each section is of importance to the other. The greater the prosperity of the South, the greater the prosperity of the North. When both sections realize this fact in legislation and in dealing with each other, nation-wide prospertv will be the result. There are so many serious problems facing America in this reconstruction peiod that the wisdom of the Southern statesmen will be needed in the national councils. BILL IS A STAR-BOARDER The town of Doom, in Holland, where the former Kaiser is sawing wood and saying nothing, is in luck and that luck has come through the presence of the ex-Kaiser. It is this way. The town has a tax assestment on incomes just as in this country since the war. William's income, not from cutting wood, but from his German possessions, amount to over $">00,000 yearly. The income tax on this amount is $13,265. So that is why the Hollanders are satisfied to have Kaiser Bill in their midst.

USES TIRE PUMP AND QUILL AND SAVES COW FOR FARMER With a first-aid veterinary kit consisting of a chicken quill and an automobile pump, one of the county agents of the United States Department of Agriculture saved a $200 cow belonging to a farmer in Pender county, N. C. This farmer had expressed an unfavorable opinion of farmers' cooperative demonstration work, declaring that he would rather use his money for other purposes than in helping to pay the county's portion of the expense. While he was in town he received word that his valuable cow was attacked with a milk fever. The county agent went home with him and found the neighbors using primitive methods in treating the animal for "hollow tail" and colic. Using the chicken quill and the automobile pump, the county agent pumped the cow's udder full of air. In less than two hours she was on her feet. Some simple remedies completed the cure. The farmer attempted to give the county agent a check for $10, which, of course, was declined. The farmer, however, became a warm supporter of the farm-extension work.

For the second time that night Frederick Cavendish, sitting at a small i table In a busy cafe where the night | life of the city streamed continually | in and out regarded the telegram spread out upon the white napery. It read: "Bear Creek, Colorado, 4-2-G. "Frederick Cavendish, College Club, New York GHy. "Found big lead; lost it again. Need you badly. Westcott" For the second time that night, too, a picture rose before him, a picture of great plains, towering mountains, and open spaces that spoke of the fre?fdom and health of outdoor living. He had known that life once before, when he and Jtm Westcott had prospected and hit the trail together, and its appeal to him now after three years of shallow sightseeing In the city was deeper than ever. "Good old Jim," he munmred, "struck pay-dirt at last only to lose It and he needs me. By George, I think ril go." And why should he not? Only rwenry-nine, ne could still afford to spend a few years In search of living. His fortune left him at the death of his father was safely Invested, and he had no close friends In the city and no relatives, except a cousin, John Cavendish, for whom he held no love, and little regard. He had almost determined upon going to Bear Creek to meet Westcott, and was calling for his check when his attention was arrested by a noisy party of four that boisterously took seats at a near-by table. Cavendish recognized the two women as members f the chorus of the prevailing Revue, one of them Celeste La Rue, an aggressive blonde with thin lips and a metallic voice, whose name wtea synonymous with midnight escapades and flowing wine. His contemptuous smile at the sight of them deepened Into a disgusted sneer when he saw that one of the men was John Cavendish, his cousin. The two men's eyes met, and the younger, a slight, mild-eyed youth with a listless chin, excused himself and presented himself at the elder's table. "Won't you Join ubY* he said ner rously. Frederick Cavendish's trim, bearded Jaw tightened and he flhook his head "They are not my people," he said shortly, then retreating, begged, "John, when are you going to cut that sorl outT" "You make me weary 1" the boy snapped. "It's easy enough for you to talk when you've got all the money ?that gives you an excuse to read me moral homilies every time I ask you for a dollar, but Miss La Rue Is ne good as any one of your friends any j day." The other controlled himself. "What la It you want?" he demanded directly. "Money? If so, how much?" "A hundred will do." the younger man said eagerly. "I lost a little on cards lately, and have to borrow. Tonight I met the girl " Frederick Cavendish silenced him and tendered him the bills. "Now," he said gravely, "this is the last, unless you cut out such people as Celeste La Rue and others that you train with. I'm tired of paying bills for your inane extravagance and parties. I can curtall your Income and whafs more, I will unless you change." For a moment the dissipated youth surveyed his cousin, then an angry flush mounted Into his pasty face. "You?you?" he stuttered, "?you go to hell." Without another word the elder Cavendish summoned the waiter, paid the bill, and walked toward the door. John started after him, a smile of derision on his face. He had heard Cavendish threaten before. When Frederick Cavendish reached the street and the fresh night air raced through his lungs he came to a sudden realization and then a resolution. The realization was that since farther pleading would avail nothing with John Cavendish, he needed a lesson. The resolution was to give It to him. He turned the matter over in his mind as he walked along until reflection was ended by the doors of the College club which appeared abruntlv and took him in their swinging circle. He went Immediately to the writingroom, laid aside his things and sat down. The first thing to do, he decided, was to obtain an attorney and consult him regarding the proper steps. For no other reason than that they had met occasionally in the corridor he thought of Patrick Rnrlght Calling a page boy, he asked that En right be located if possible. Fifteen minutes passed before Enrlght appeared. "I take It you are Mr. Cavendish," ha said, advancing, "and that you are In Immediate need of an attorney's counsel." Cavendish nodded, shook hands, and motioned him Into a chair. M1 have been called suddenly out of town, Mr. Bnrlght," he explained, "and for certain reasons which need not be disclosed 1 deem it necessary to execute a will. I am the only son of the late William Huntington Cavpndlah; also his sola heir, and In the event of mj death jylttiottt A will the proftert* wjol4 J J . ' _A. t- iw. _ .J-l "ho !

Of young Cavendish he evidently knew. "Because of his dissolute habits ] have decided to dispose of a large portion of my estate elsewhere in case of my early death. I have here a rough draft of what I want done." He showed the paper. "All that I re* quire Is that It be transposed Into legal form." Enrlght took the paper and read It carefully. The bulk of the $1,000,000 Cavendish estate was willed to charitable organisations, and a small allowance, a mere pittance, was provided for John Cavendish. After a few inquiries the attorney said: "You do not mind waiting a moment?" Cavendish shook his head, and rising, the attorney disappeared In the direction of the office. Cavendish heaved a sign of relief; now he was free, absolutely free, to do as he chose. His disappearance would mean nothing to his small circle of casual friends, and when he was settled elsewhere he could notify the only two men who were concerned with his whereabouts?his valet, Valols, and the agent handling the estate. Enright returning found him with pet in linnd. "A trifling task," the attorney smiled easily. "All ready for your signature, : too. You sign there, the second line. But wait?we must have witnesses," Slmrns, the butler, and the doorman were called in and wrote their names ( to the document and then withdrew, after which Enrlght began folding 11 up carefully. "I presume you leave this In my Care?" he nsked shortly. Cavendish shook his hend: "I think not. I prefer holding It myself In case it is needed suddenly. I shall keej my rooms, and my man Valols will remain there indefinitely." The attorney watched him disappear. Suddenly he struck the tabic with one hand. "By God!" he muttered, "I'll have to see this thing a little further." Wheeling suddenly, he walked to a telephone booth, called a numbei and waited impatiently several moments before he said In Intense subdued tones: "Is this Carlton's cafe? Give me Jackson, the head-waiter, Jackson, is Mr. Cavendish ? 'John Cavendish?there? Good I Call him to the phOne, will you, Jackson? It's important." The early light of dawn stealing in faintly through the spider-web ol the fire escape ladder, found a partially open window on the third floor of the Waldron apartments, and began slowly to brighten the walls of the room within. It was a large apart meni, iurmsnea sooeriy ana in excel* lent taste. Wealth and comfort were | everywhere manifest. ' Yet, as the light lengthened, ths surroundings evidenced disorder. One chair lay overturned, a porcelain vase had fallen from off the table-top to the floor and scattered Into fragments. Back of the table a small safe embedded In the wall stood with Its door wide open, Its Inner drawer splntered as with a knife blade and hanging half dut, and below It a riffle of papers, many of them apparently legal documents. But the one object across which the golden beams of light fell as though In soft caress was the motionless flg| ure of a man lying upon his back beside the table near the drapeless . window. A blow from behind had j evidently crushed his skull and though J the face was seared and burned, I though the curtain's partial ashes covered more than a half of It, though the eye-lashes above the sightless eyes ! were singed and the trim beard burn; ed to black stubs, the face gave mute evidence of being that of Frederick Cavendish. The door at the end of the bookcase opened noiselessly and a man, smooth faced, his hair brushed low across hit forehead, stepped quietly In. As hit ! eyes surveyed the grewsome objact hj | the table, they dilated with honor; ( then his whole body stiffened and h?
