An hysterical, vain and silly girl in Maine made absurd charges against a minister, known far and wide for his c services to the community and his good works. The girl was believed, 0 the minister ostracised by the com. munity to such an extent that he shot - and killed himself. The girl then confessed her accusation \vu baseless 1 and the man innocent, whereupon the I community?it must he a nice p'.ace to live?condemns the girl. P If the community would condemn j itself for intolerance, scandal-inonger- 3 ing and total failure of loyalty, it would be more to the point Strange ' that a minister of the gospel, with his ! years of experience, could not realize that those who condemned him without evidence were out of their own ^ mouths condemned; that when people ( believe evil without proof, it is because, under similar circumstances, ^ they would themselves have been evil Peace hath her victories?and from j abroad comes clarion note of one of them The dreaded disease anthrax 1 seems at last to have been conquered. Dr. Alfred Dinsley, a well known bacteriologist of Liverpool, claims that the use of certain of the shorter wave j lengths of light kills anthrax germs in hides and wool as no disinfectant can * possibly kill them. Here is where the peace victory ar- ^ rives upon the scene. The apparatus . which kills the anthrax germs, so pow- j erful that its penetrating rays pass through bales of hides and wool eight j Seet thick, is a projection1 device ^ which was designed orginally for ^ quite another sort of killing; a searchlight of death-dealing rays, something like X.rays in their nature, but far ^ more murderous to human beings. t The world is sick of war between f man unci man. War between man j and beast is nearly over, but war between man and disease, man and * ' J germs, man and the infinitely little, infinitely powerful organisms which destroy his own, is but begun. That a ^ terrible weapon of war, untried on the battle field, fiut a potential killer f of battalions, can find peaceful use in saving lives by destroying disease ! germs is a matter of congratulation . to a wox-ld which is scrapping many an engine of war with no other result than increasing the size of the junk { pile. v FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION [ WILL TAKE APr" 'CATIONS The Wamble Hill Federal Farm ^ Loan Association is authorized to take c applications for farm loans to the , amount of $72,000.

Terrell Growing out of the work now beinj done to secure "better sires" in Ches terfield county, and the interest beinj shown, the county has a wonderfu opportunity to forge ahead as a uni fied dairy county in its chosei breed?Guernsey, by the formatior of a co-operative Guernsey bull asso ciation. It is remarkably significant that sc much interest is being shown anr farmers everywhere are realizing while time is opportune the necessity for better livestock, diversification and the necessity of unified and cooperative effort. If present plans or the part of representatives of Clem, son College and the United States Department of Agriculture, co-opera ting with county agent, W. J. Tillei work out, eight or ten well bred Buernsey bulls will be placed at various points in the county. These animals will be representatives of the oest blood of the breed with guaranteed production backing them. They will be animals that will be in the reach of hundreds of farmers in the ;ounty and such that no average farmer could afford to purchase* except 3y co-operative effort. The bull association plan is economical, in fact, ;he most economical plan that can be ievised, being even more economical ;o particapate in the association than n divided ownership of the worst cind of scrub; and the most laudable part is that farmers of this county are iwake to better breeding, conservation of the best native stock and luilding it up by? this plan of co)pcration. What does it mean for the future? [t means a unified effort of the county oward one breed. It means the quick!st and most economical plan of upluilding. It means in only four years possession of the equal and approxinately 15 carloads of high class grade iow imported from some northern narkets, to say nothing of the pure >red animals that will be used. It neans Chesterfield county standing rot in the Guernsey world as a Guernley county; and last, but not least, t means a spirit of co-operation is bcng developed?the future protection >f American farmers. As a strictly business proposition armers should look into this plan, vho have not had the opportunity al eady. If a heifer calf from one of he old scrub cows and one of these ligh class bulls is worth in cash money wenty to thirty dollars more than ine from a scrub bull, or a pure bred >ull backed by no production rec!or?, thpn ?? is worth while; and the ooner farmers start building up by he use of better sires, just so will hey have more valuable livestock. Vnd farmers of the South are leaning that livestock is just as much a mrtner of cotton as a partner of corn ind wheat in the North. iCOD MEETNIG OF COUNTY COUNCIL A good meeting of the Chesterield County Council of Home Dem a. a. 1 /-11..1 i i J i-i? ? >ii?yuLiou ^iuus was neiu in me cuuri louse last Tuesday. The meeting was called by Miss Wary C. Haynie, home demonstration igent. A satisfcatory number of in;erested ladies were present. Mrs. Dora Dee Walker, state agent, *ave demonstrations in the making if jellies and jams, using canned foods as raw materials. Mrs. S. O. Plowden, district agent, ilso made an interesting talk. .senator r,aney in a very nappy vein iddressed the ladies. The South Carolina Home Produce \ssoeiation is the name of the organization through which the clut ?irls may market their surplus pro :iucts. Just now the association has or land contracts for jellies and jams, therefore the demonstration in preparing these articles in marketable shape. This a <soci&tion will doubtless be able to handle the entire surplus oi canned goods for the Home Demon stration clubs MRS. S. A. HANNA A beautiful life came to its close when Mrs. Sullie A.

Mrs. B. Thurmaa Teal, THE WOODROW WILSON I FOUNDATION To Honor a Groat American * The Foundation is created by pub" lie subscription in recognition of the ^ great national and international acr' vice of Woodrow Wilson who favored the cause of human freedom for man1 kind throughout the world. The income from the proposed one million dollar foundation will be giv> en to the person or persons rendering, I within a specified period, meritorious ? service to democracy, public welfare, liberal thought or peace through jus! tice. i It was Woodrow Wilsv, n who focus ed the diverse ideals of the war on the 1 one ideal of pure Americanism, which is democracy. It was Wo ,drow Wilson who first drove th? wedge between ' the Hohenzollerns and the German people. Autocracy began to totter. It was Woodrow Wilson who first 1 enunciated the basis of peace. His iourceen points won the war. The people had been fighting for three ' years. No government had publicly proclaimed the aims for which it waft asking its people to die. The people were getting restive. But for Wilson's stand the allies might have lost the war. Mr. Samuel Gompers was invited to go to England and France to confer with labor leaders in those countries. He said: "I do not think, I know, that had not Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the aims of the war when he did, there would have been revolutions in England and France in the early part of 1918." The drive for Chesterfield county's quota for this fund is on. Every one should consider it a privilege to contribute something to honor the name of the president who has done more for the prosperity of ilk- South than any president before him. The amount for the town of Chesterfield is $40.00 this and more will be easy to i raise for the honor of the county. Chesterfield has never fallen down on what it should do. F H. Sanders is chairman for the town. Hand her your contribution and co-operate with her in raising the balance.

THE GENOA CONFERENCE Genoa, May 14.?The Genoa economic conference will be reconvened on June 15 at The Hague to discuss Russian questions if the plan agreed to this afternoon at a private conference of the inviting Powers be accepted by the subcommission on Russian affairs at its meeting tomorrow. This decision to postpone action relative to Russia is promoted largely by the desire of the European Powers to induce the United States to participate, and apparently not merely a means of dissolving the Genoa conference without admitting that the differences between France and Great Britain regarding the treatment of Russian problems cannot be reconciled in Genoa. Lloyd George Plan Sir Edward Grigg announced this afternoon that this compromise plan , suggested by Premier Lloyd George, had been accepted by the inviting Powers, and will be passed on by the subcommissicn on Russian affairs tomorrow. Only vague details are given as to how the proposed com mission or commissions to discuss the Russian question will be formed at The Hague and the entire scheme seems to be still i nthe twilight zone, awaiting America's decision whether she will help Europe straighten out the tangle. Sir Edward added that all the Powers at the Genoa confernce will be asked to send representatives to The Hague, where they will agree upon members of the commisison who are to sit with the Russian representatives. Washington, May 15.?The state department made public tonight the text of a message to Ambassador pu;i J ~ i- r* J .-i-'- -' * * - * vjiiiiu iii uecuning tne invitation to participate in the new European economic conference at The Hague. "This government," the American communication, "is unable to? conclde that it can helpflly participate in the meeting at The Hague as this would appear to be the continuance ivder a different nomenclatre of the Genoa conference and destined to encounter the same difficulties if the attiude disclosed in the Russian memorandum of May 11 remains unchanged."

Malaria, Chill., matal'i SENATOR LANEY RECEIVED WI OTHER P< Last week the announcement that Senator Laney wouht be n Candida ,e for governor was received too late for more than a bare mention of the fact. Since then his candidacy has become known throughout the State and* we quote from the Columbia State and the Charleston News and Courier, showing how heartily the announcement was received by those papers. Mr. Laney needs no introduction to us, nor does his record require any comment or explanation. We all know that he has stood for the best interest of the county as he saw it and that he was ever zealous in his espousal of the poor man's cause. He is a Chesterfield County product. Let Chesterfield County unite behind him and give him her unanimous vote. From The State: Senator George K. Laney of Chesterfield definitely announced last night that he would be in the race for the Democratic nomination for governor this summer. Senator Laney was here Monday and told friends he would make an announcement shortly and last night he authorized the statement that he had decided to enter the race and would announce his platform within a short time. The Chesterfield senator has long been in South Carolina politics as a member of the general assembly. He said he had received assurances of support from all sections of the state and that he had been urged to enter the race. Senator Laney said he had considered the matter thoroughly and had decided that ho could not afford to disappoint his many friends. Ho was indorsed by the Chesterfield Democratic county convention. Senator Laney is well known throughout the state. He was born poor but has worked his way forward and today he is one of the most influential men in the state. He taught school in his early manhood and later began the practice of law, which he is now engaged in. Senator Laney was graduated from the University of South Carolina in the academic class of 1894 and m the law class of two years later. Ho was a member of the lower house from 1903 to 190G and in 1907 was elected to the senate where he has served continuously since. These It) years in the general assembly have made Mr. Laney one of the legislative leaders. His dramatic fights on the floor of the senate for the "poor man" and the "little devil back in the country" will be recalled by many. His fights last year in support of the new revenue bills that are now law will also be recalled, and also his speeches for the passage of some the revenue measures that were lost. Senator Laney has been chairman of the judiciary committee of the senate for a number of terms and as the head of this committee has passed on much important legislation. He has also been a member of the senate committee on banking and insurance, the education committee, the printing committee and the comittee on privileges and elections for several years. Another important post held by Mr. I^aney is membershin on the canal commission. From the News and Courier: Columbia, May 10.?An interesting political announcement was authorized tonight. State Senator George K. Laney will make the race for Governor.

Senator Laney haa uei'ii in puouc me lor many years and is recognized as a level-headed and forceful leader. lie has been conspicuous in his advocacy of the common schools and is the author of the original plan of State aid to the weaker schools of the State, a plan that has grown wonderfully. He was a member of the committee that framed what is known as the Marion tax report, that was largely responsible for the first recent attempt to modify th< t i\" system. Senator Laney is a lawyer by profession, a farmer on the side, going from the farm to the University of South Carolina. He will he heard from as a decided factor in the approaching campaign^ John E. Swcaringen, state superintendent of education, announced that he would be a candidate for governor in the Pemocratic primary this summer. Mr. Swearingen is widely known over the state, is recognized as a man of ability and strength, and the announcement of his intention to enter the primary will be read with interest. Lieut. Govei n?tr Wilson G. Harvey will not run for governor this summer nor will he be a candidate for l:eutonnrii <iw. ... I ' " ... mi iiiv- oacouig primary. This announcement whs made Mr. llarvey himself while in conference with Governor Cooper. A good deal of pressure is being brought to bear by his friends upon Judge Hough to get him to make the race for the Senate. Mr. Hough's brother was formerly Senator from Lancaster county. Mr. J. Arthur Knight's name has been frequently mentioned as possible candidate for the Senate. It is also understood here that Mr. u p r> i i ? ...... .fiuv,-. nu> uikii'i' consideration the matter of whether or not to enter this rat e.

Wannamaker will soon announce for State Senate. BOLL WEEVILS APPEAR IN KERSHAW COUNTY : ^ Kershaw, May lf>.?Du'/inp: the winter months various predictions as to the effect that freezir ; temperatures would have upon the boll weevil were made by farmers of this section. Some claim-.i that the v r.jfu"d which arrived in this section last year would be completely wiped out, while others foresaw the multiplication of the few of last year and the arrival of the main army this season The l.ittev theory seems to have been correct. L. J. .Jordan, one of the largest farmers in Kershaw county, reports that from one stalk of cotton which has just reached the four or five leaf stage of growth. he picked four weevils, that, presumably, were awaiting the appearance of squares and bolls. The average for the entire field is about three or four weevils to the stalk, sufficient evidence, it seems, to convince the most skeptical that the boll weevil is here, and from the above report it appears that he is here with all of his bretheren.
