It is up to you, the voters, to decide who shall represent us in the leirislative halls of the state and who shall administer certain other offices. In this connection The Advertiser has no hesitancy in saying that for Chief Executive of the State it has a preference, in fact is committed to Chesterfield's candidate for that high office, the Hon. G. K. Laney. We believe Mr. Laney is well equipped mentally and morally for this office We unhesitatingly commend him to the voters of this county. His service of twenty years in the legislative halls of the State have eminently fitted him for the place of Governor. As to other offices we have only thi* to say. It is greatly to be hoped that in this crisis only the very best men will be selected. Friendship and personal obligation should have absolutely no weight with the voter in making his selection. This paper takes the stand that such considerations are at least unpatriotic. "Is this man mentally and morally equipped for this office? Is he the best man for the place," is the only consideration worthy of attention at this time. The proper candidate is not seeking a favor or a bounty and the propel voter has no favor or bounty to bestow. The question is one of Service offered and Service accepted. And before the service is accepted the question of ability should be carefully wv i^uvu nuu uecjueu uy me voters. ENROLL NOW We wish to urge upon every citizen f Chesterfield County the importance of placing his or her name on the Democratic club roll. This is necessary if you wish to vote in the primary election in August. Voting is not only a privilege, it is a solemn duty. Those who willfully neglect this duty can hardly lay claim to good citizenship, whether man or woman. Now that the ladies have the franchise it is very important that they ex. ercise it in order that the vote will be fully representative. So we trust that every man and woman who is entitled to vote will enroll at once. MUSCLE SHOALS AND liEMPY coph If any excuses were needed by this paper for keeping the Muscle Shoals project before the public of South Carolina it would be found in the fact that the disposition of the great water power means more to the Southern States than any other proposition before Congres sand the country. In a recent speech in Congress, Hon. W. C. Wright, of Georgia, presented some facts that showed the importance of accepting the proposition of Henry Ford, to take over the Muscle Shoals project. Mr. Wright is one of the ablest members of Congress and of the truest friends of the people. He began his speech by laying down some plain and pertinent propositions. The proper development of Muscle Shoals, explained Mr. Wright, has a four fold purpose: "First, the generation of hydroelectric power; and it is one of the most potential power sites in the United States, and second, perhaps, to none except Niagara Falls. With the completion of Dam No. 2 and the building of Dam No. 3, almost a million horsepower would be developed. Second, the operation of the great nitrate plant which has already been completed, and which, if kept in a state of readiness, would insure this country an ample supply of nitrate for the manufacture of munitions in time of emergency. Third, in peace time for the manufacture of fertilizers. That plant can produce fertilizer containing fixed nitrogen of 40,000 tons per annum. As now constructed, it has a capacity for 110,000 tons of nitrate of ammonia, which contains 40,000 ions 01 nxea nitrogen. The nitrogen production of the plant is of an annual capacity equal to the Chilean nitrate used by the farmers of the United States,and if the nitrogenous coinpounds which can be annually produced at the plant were mixed into a balanced fertilizer such fertilizer would approximate 2,000,000 tons per annum. Fourth, the development of navigation on the Tennessee River, which is of great importance. There is a stretch of approximately 40 miles on the Tennessee River which is shoaly and not open to navigation, and this stretch obstructs navigation for some 400 miles along that great river, which runs through a section full of coal and iron and other mineral resources, and if these developments are made as contemplated by the Ford offer (bis stretch will be made ravigable. The Ford proposal is the only one before Congress and the only one which has been submitted which makes possible the utilization of this THE LATEST FAD In a recent number of tho Ladies' Home Journal there is an article that will cause surprise and regret. It states that the present great increase in the use of cigarettes is due to the fact that women are using cigarettes in larger quantities than ever before and in steadily increasing amount. It is said that the use of cigarettes is increasing especially in girls schools and colleges. In fact the habit is becoming a fad and when a fad starts among the rising generation there is no knowing where it will end. CHINESE GIRL WINS The people of China are not supposed to be remarkably intelligent but there are many individual exceptions to this supposition. In New York recently a Chinese girl in competition _ with American school girls won two prizes over the other girls. She won an award of $20 for being the best ^ took in public school district No. 1, .j and she captured second prize of $15 ^ in a newspaper composition contest for an essay on American history. WOMEN WORKERS The total number of women workers in America according to the last << census is 8,540,000 and South Caroli- >< na with 33 per cent, of its female _( population "gainfully occupied" leads c; all the other states. Rhode Island is second with over <. 32 per cent. West Virginia is last with only 11 per cent.

Weevil. s If at first you don't succeed with s crops to supplement cotton, remem- fi ber that a quitter never wins and a o winner never quits. i s There is only one way W have a ^ good fall garden, and that is to start before fall. Now is the accepted time. Swine mathematics: Good growing crops plus healthy pigs plus some cor" plus sanitary conditions equal big profits. Idle thoughts of a boll weevil: "My tribe has certainly taken cotton out of the class of fool-proof crops; it now takes a real farmer to grow cotton." Anderson County farmers who own and properly care for bees are learning that they certainly do not get ":T.U!lg" nn?noi?uy. I What is land worth? Well, an acre that will produce 30 bushels of corn is worth twice as much as one that will only produce 15 bushels. "The next great advance on the farm will not be in the machinery used in the field so much as in the conveniences of the household.".? Dr. H. J. Waters. Timid suggestion to those who eat: One way to increase our apprecra- ^ tion of the farmers' importance in the general scheme of things is to reflect that the food with which to feed the world for the next thirty days is not yet produced. 1 -dleouseditnhfieswuffi ETAOINSH I Farmers who want to enjoy the "opera" in cooperation should just listen in on this good news from the Land of Get Together?"The War Finance Corporation has lent $30,000,000 to the Virginia-Carolina Tobacco Growers' Association for order- * ly marketing. ^ "Much in little" is the best way to I *'?

WHAT A WORKER CAN DO ""The wonderful dexterity acquired y American women in industry is lustrated by the following account in he World Almanac, taken from the ecords of an investigator for the Uni.*d States Department of Labor: A telephone operator's average dair hours are eight and one-half, but rhat with overtime, Sunday work, working through," loss of relief, or excess loading," these are often exeeded. Two hundred and twenty-five alls per hour, or three and one-half er minute, seems an example of rare speed," and yet the "peak load" ofen exceeds this. In the needle trades a girl tends a ewing machine carrying twelve neeles making 4,000 stitches a minte, or 2,400,000 in ten hours, often ,'orking in a bright light and with unhaded eyes, and amidst a deafening oar. In the pea-canning industry a girl nspect two cans of peas per second r 72,000 per day. The cappers place he caps on the cans at the rate of ixty to eighty per minute. In the shoe industry a workman reolves the shoe in such a manner as to rim off the crimped surplus leather 1 rom the "upper." His task is 5,200 hoes a day. In the eyelctting department of the , hoe industry an expert worker can , inish 2,000 pairs of women's shoes in \ >ne day. Each of these shoes has as nany 'as twelve holes irregularly paced, making 48,000 eyelets per lay. < HAMBONE'S MEDITATIONS e : ' PAHSON 6oT SEBN CHILLUNS, 1 en miss lucy tol' me t' gib 'im dem sebn kittens WWUT UP AT X>E HOUSE, Bur he 'low he Don' want nothin' else roun' him W HUT EATS'.

STANDING BEAR WINS LIBERTY BY HABEAS CORPUS WRIT DNCE upon a time a writ of habeas corpus was Invoked In behalf of in Indian and the decision In hlB case narked a new epoch In the conduct of >ur Indian affairs. That man was Itandlng Bear (Mon-chu-non*zhln), hlef of the Poncas. In 187T the government decided to emove Standing Bear's people from heir ancestral homes In Nebraska to iidlan Territory. In spite of his op>owltlon, he and nine other chiefs were alien south to choose a reservation. Phey would not select a place, wherelpon the agent refused them trans>ortatlon home. At night they slept In haystacks, ihlverlng with the cold. Their only !ood was raw corn which they found n the fields. Their moccasins wore >ut. After 50 days they reached the Dtoe reservation In Nebraska and as :hey walked Into the agent's office they left bloody footprints on the loor. Teu days later they rode wearily into their home camp on ponies which the Otoes hud given hem. In their abseuce an official of the [ndlan department arrived to remove :he Fences by force. Accepting the nevltable, Standing Bear prepared to retrace his steps. After a tearlble lourney, during which two of Standing Bear's children died, the discouraged Poncas settled In their new homes. Within a year a third of the tribe perished. Then Standing Bear's favorite son died. In January, 1879, he took the bones of his sons, and started rtuce more to Nebraska. Two months later they arrived destitute at the Omaha reservation. They borrowed land and seed from the Oinahas and were preparing to put In a crop when soldiers appeared to arrest and return them to Indian Territory. Then public sentiment intervened. Two white lawyers offered to defend the Poncas and sued out a writ of habeas corpus. Although attorneys for the Indian department ?ontended thnt Indians were "not persons within the meaning t>f the law," Judge Dundy ruled against them and ordered the prisoners released. "Once I avenged my wrongs with the tomahawk," said Standing Bear," but the white man's way is better. I lay the tomahawk down for?ver." By this time Standing Bear's case had attracted national attention and h senate Investigation of the Pouca removal resulted In restoring them to their old homes. Here September C, 1908, Standing Bear died at the age of eighty years. I "VAMPS" WHO 1 3 MADE HISTORY 8 8 By JAMES C. YOUNG. ffi US) ><y McClure Nuwiipaper Syndicate.) A "MOST GORGEOUS" IRISH BEAUTY. WHEN we read the story of the vampire who devours men's hear is periiups we should pause and wonder why ?u?- became a vampire. *"?C naa LUC I'uau OI U1C IUOSl gorgeous Lady Blessington," an an imaginative admirer called her. But she was not born Lady Blessington, or Lady anything else. Her father was a drunken, roistering squire of Tipperary, and Marguerite one of seven children. He used to beut ber with a heavy strap, and perhaps she was glud when he uiurried her to a British army captain from the nearby garrison. This captain was a drunkard and half insane. He beat poor Marguerite worse than had her father. She tied to the pureutal roof, and the father ordered her back to the captain. Then Marguerite disappeared. Her career as a vampire had begun. We tind her at twenty, one of the beauties of Dublin. Sir Thomas Lawrence painted a picture of her which made both fumous. She had several lovers before meeting the earl of Blessington, peer and man of fashion. He still held a large part of a once vast estate. Blesslhgton married her and they opened house in St. Juines' square, London. In 18112 the couple went to Paris, where she met the Count d'Orsay, then eighteen years old and one of the talented diletluntes of the French capital. Murguerlte was thirty-two, but they Instantly loved. The count joined the two on their trip to Genoa. After romantic wanderings through Italy, Marguerite came back to London. Then Blessington died, and she found herself in straits. She turned to writing, for which she always had had some talent, and met with at least a show of success. Her efforts served to attract many notnbles to ber salon. She continued to live with d'Orsay, while Bulwer-Lytton, Dickens, Thackeray, Tom Moore and Disraeli paid her court. The "Greek god" did not seem to care. Among the visitors was Louis Napoleon, afterward Napoleon III, then broke and without friends. Mar guerite entertained film well. Hut at last ull of this fine living ended In a crush. There still were debtors* prisons In England. Marguerite and d'Orsay saw them yawning Just ahead. They owed more than $000,000, a huge sum then. It was Impossible for them to leave the house except on Sundays, go many bailiffs waited about the door. Theu the two escaped to Paris. Assuredly Napoleon III would help. But he had not bfeen called "Napoleon, the Little," for nothing. He showed them the door. Marguerite, past sixty, soon died. D'Orsay followed her three years later, and they aleep beneath one stone.
