They?for they all agreed with the Judge in his estimate of the situation i here ? have shown to Chesterfield better than it could have been learned otherwise that in one respect at least this county is premier. We have developed here a wonderful strain of Rhode Island Red chickens that can hardly be surpassed in the United States. Two statements made by Judge Card in the presence of this editor are certainly worthy of repeating, and should stick fast in the mind of every poultry raiser in the county. One is: "Don't go out of the county to buy your Reds. There are better ones right under your nose than you can get elsewhere." The other statment is: "You have the stuff to make the name 'Chesterfield Reds' as famous as Chesterfield Cigarettes." Need more be said? Let those who have imagination and determination take hold of these potential thoughts and carry them to their complete fulfillment. "STUPIDEST BOOK OF THE CENTURY" It would seem that enough had been said and written about the ex-Kaiser but he manages, since he has quit killing people, to keep himself in the < m.ki:. u:. 1-4.?m. ? 4 4. 4. puuuv. cjrc. ins iciti'si Mum was iu get married to Princess Herminie. Although an exile from his former home and kingdom he persuaded her to share his lot. But in addition to getting married William Hohenzollern has written the memoirs of his life, telling what a good, generous, self-sacrificing soul he was while starting a war that has caused milloins to mourn. Joseph Collins, in the New York Times, reviews the Kaiser's Memiors and he does an artistic job of it. Mr. Collins lived in Germany several years am) WflQ nnf HpnpnHpnf nnnn iors for details of the public and private -life of the ex-Emperor of Germany. That he claimed to be devinely appointed by the Lord to do, Hfe will is shown from extracts from his speeches to his soldiers. In one of them he says: "Remember that the spirit of the Lord has descended upon me because I am the German Emperor. I am the instrument of the Most High. I am His sword. His representative." in another spech he said: "Perish all enemies of the German people. God requires their destruction, '..oil, who through my mouth commands you to execute my will." Summing up the book Mr. Collins says: "Kaiser Wilhclmll. has made himr:?i i- i_: _ ' atu iiiiuiuiiai, nisi, oy mis iniamy, second by his stupidity. He commited the greatest crime ever known: he conditioned and fostered the war; and he has written the stupidest book of the twentieth century. By doing the latter he has cleared himself of the accusation of lunacy, but he has laid himself open to have substituted for it that of imbecility." MEANING OF THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS The results of the November elections have caused the editors of leading Republican newspapers to "sit up and take notice." Instead of trying to explain that it was not much of a shower, these editors are forced to see in the elections a threatening deluge. They have had to admit that the shortcomings of the Republican party have been responsible for the tidal wave of November 7th. They name the unequal tariff measure, Newberryism, (where a member was admitted to the Senate who had paid $1 OH,000 for his seat) as two of the outstanding sins of the party. The St. F.ouis Post Dispatch says: "The tariff of abominations must be revised downward with the plunder of the tariff barons who dictated its robber provisions eliminated. The subsidy program must be aban/Inn />/! XT/x *-??? xr ??1?? * ?v.>^u. iiiiuie iNuwuerryism. "1 no disgrace of the Newberry verdict must be wiped out by the reopening 1 of the Newberry case and the unseating of Newberry.' 1 In Indiana, there was a good turn- 1 over, by the election of Senator Ral- ! ston over former Senator Beveridge 1 and the Indianapolis Mews, right in ( center of the storm says: ' "It is evident that the people voted their disapproval of congress, if not of the adminstrntion. There is a serious warning for the Republicans in the elections, in that what hap- ^ pened after the passage of the Mc- r Kinley and Payne-Aldrich tariff bills 0 had happened a^ain. Everywhere was c revolt n^ainst the oppressive tariff, ^ and it was a protest that will grow c stronger as people feel more and more ^ its burden." f THEY ARE GETTING THERE n An Ohio women has been elected to fit on the Supreme Court bench of . . I.B )NE MILLION CHRISTAINS AWAIT AMERICAN HELP Washington, Nov. 20.-?Upon the luick charity of America largely detends the fate of a million Christians lriven from Aisa Minor by Turkish nilitary success, it is declared at Naional Headquartesr of the American Red Cross. Grpece either will be a! sepulchre or a place of rebirth fori these stricken people, whose desperate plight is further dep:cted in a cablegram received by the Rod Cross from Vice Chairman A. Ross Hill who is directing relief work from Athens. King George of Greece, through Dr. Hill, sent thanks to the Red Cross for its aid and expressed the appreciation of his nation to the American people. The Red Cross is rapidly perfecting its organization in Greece, said Dr. Hill's message, which went to the state: "Hundreds of thousands of refugees are filling the Greek cities and islands. These consist largely of mothers with children who, with old people, are sole remnants of once flourishing populations driven into the sea by the Turks. These miserable women, cold, hungry, despairing, shelterless, walk the streets with babies clinging to their skirts. In many refugee centers women who lost sons and husbands gaze from leaden eyes, life over. Their little children are the only hostages for the future of that element of Greek people who first established themselves in Asia Minor three thousand years ago. "In many barracks children, and old people lie day and night, flies eating at sores on their bodies and faces, their future black., "King George thanks the American Red Cross for its help and extends the appreciation of his nation to the American people. "Smallpox is spreading from one concentration camp to another. Meanwhile Greece is awaiting new floods of refugees. The race is on between American Red Cross supplies and these fresh shiploads of people. The Greek government has telegraphed its representatives in all countries asking the utmost help from every nation immediatly." AND THIS IS NORMALCY Budget experts, according to press dispatches from Washington forecast for the next fiscal year treasury dcf icit of approximate';/ one million dollars. "rine President and his advisers," it is added, "are considering a recommendation of new tax proposals to Congress." If this is normally, make the most of it. The difu'it for the current fiscal year was reckoned by Secretary Mellon, some months ago, at six hundred and fifty million dollars. By one means or auolhei this yawning chasm between prospective revenues and disbursements up to .lune the thirtieth next must be bridged; and whatever the method, there is but one source from which the materal wilt come?the pockets of the people. But six hundred and fifty million is not all, if the Administration exoerts are ricrht. On this Osxn is to bo P:.led a Polion of a billion-dollar deficiency for 1923-24?and again the people must shoulder it, burdened though they already are. Such is the fulfillment of the economy and tax-reduction pledges by which a Republican Congress and excutive were elected two years ago.?Atlanta Jour nal. COOPERATIVE SELLING COTTON GAINS IN FAVOR Columbia, Nov. 20.?The continued onward sweep of cooperative marketing in the state is indicated, officials of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative Association said yesteray, by the large number of new contracts coming in daily. Over one I 1 1 - x- * * * nuimiiui niw contracts nave Deen received in the past week and the number of new members is being swelled every day. There is no campaign on at the present time and practically all of the contracts that are coming in are voluntary and officials say are the result of the satisfaction with the way the association is functioning. Credit is being given the Association generally for the strength of the cotton market and the present prices of cotton. One of the large contracts to come in during the past week was from J. [ V. Williams of McConellsville, York Csninty. Mr. Williams signed the contract this week and has turned >ver several hundred bales of cotton. Yesterday a letter was received from him, stating that a number of other farmers in his section were ready to sign. Letters from Marion brought he news that quite a number of trrow rs in that county were ready to af"ix their signatures to the contract.

QUAINT SONG OF THANKS Through the hard days of the World War while men were fighting, the women ?f America were working, waiting, ever courageously. Now that those days are over and the dif-* ficult aftermath needs careful handling, woman is still striving to add her service wherever there is need of brave and patient endeavor. Post-war times it is always trying ones. Hence it is with little more sympathetic understanding than usual that we read the lines of a quaint old Thanksgiving hymn, bearing the date of 1783. Its author is unknowh, but its sentiment holds trim tnHnu tKr?n<rVi t v?.ww6?? we nmy wish to change the name of our first President to that of some later leader. The Lord above, in tender love, Hath saved us from our foes. Through Washington the thing is done; The war is at its close. America has won the day Through Washington our chief; Come let us rejoice with heart and And bid good-by to grief. Let us agree, since we are free, All needless things to shun; And lay aside all pomp and pride, Like our great Washington. Though we do not proclaim this anonymous writter as a second Shake spear, let us follow his counsel by bidding farewell to grief, by laying aside pride and pomp, and turning this Thanksgiving season into one in which we remember only our mercies and blesings, which are many. "Come, let us rejoice with heart and voice," for what we have, if it be but little, helping the less fortunate, if it be an abundance. WILL SWAP?1 Pair large mules and wagon for Ford truck.

NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER ON EDUCATION Education week, set by the American Legion for naional observance December 3 to9, is the subject of a special article written for the American Legion by Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University. John J. Tigert, United States Commisssioner of Education, and the Natilonal Education Association are co-operating with tht Americanism Commission of tht legion, in making the week a success President Hardinir will isumo * national proclamation, which will b< followed by proclamations frorr governors and mayors. "Education week should be a tim< for strengthening our understanding of the foundations of Americai education," Dr. Butler says in th< article, follows: "From the ^beginning the interes in education of the founders ant makers of America has been unique Harvard College was established ii Massachusetts Bay only sixteen year after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth The common school quickly grew u] in New England and spread over th< whole United States a? a typica American institution. Horace Mam and Henry Barnard put new life am higher ideals into the American schoo system nearly a century ago. Th< Ordinance for the government of th< Northwest Territory, made in 1787 out of which territory so many of th< middle western states have beei carved, contained express provision for the support and development o public education. Long ago it becami established public law that ai Amerilcan state, or sub-division there of, might maintain by a public ta: any type of instruction that it sa\ fit, however advanced. Thi principle underlies the public higl schools and the tax-supporte< universities and technical schools. "It is American doctrine, fortunate ly,that while education is a prope state function, it is in no sense a stati monODlv. Schools. collorrns nni iTniversfcties flourish and are encour aged to flourish in the field of liberty as well as in the field of government The former .are not suported b; public tax, although frequently thei property used directly for educatioi is exempted from taxation. This is th< state's way of encouraging privat initiative to develop educational in stitutions in the field of liberty B; th'fe unsually happy combination o tax-supported schools, colleges am universities, every public interest i met, while provision may readily b made for every shade of opinion am belief. In this way the America I people keep their educational syster free, elastic and adaptable to thei every need, and avoid the hard am fast j>overnment-made and govern ment-re^ulated educational system of continental Europe. "Every American who understand the fundamental principles which un derlie American education and justtf; the faith of the American psople ii it, will resist all attempts to brea down those principles, to substitut federal control or central regulatioi for local initiative, to displace elast tic!lty for rigidity, or compel conform ity in Prussian fashion instead of up holding liberity in American fashion "From one point of view the fait! of the America people in education i subline, while in another/it is path etic. It is sublime in that it show me American people, at their best, 11 the full expression of their faith ii the progress of mankind, in their un shakeable confidence in the power o intelligence and disciplined cliaractei Their fnith is patheic in that schools colleges and universities, do what the will, fall short of their own ideals an< of what the American people have i right to expect of them. "Education Week should be a tim for reexamining the foundations u American education, for increasinj our understanding of those founda tions, for strenghtening our confi /! ri in on/1 #/v? * ... vitviU| ii?u a v/1 imuiviug H do all in our power to make ou schools, both higher and lower, bet ter able to justify the nation's fa;tl in them and their influence.

"Judged by the standards of his tory, democracy is still an expcri ment. Ir? its short life it has accom plished marvels, but its steady rnarcl has developed many and grave diffi culities. Let me lepcat a sentenc* which I first wrote yeas ago: Thi difficulties of democracy are the op porunities of education."
