In Chesterfield County.


Special to The State.
Chesterfield, July /. The
farms of this vicinity are suffer
ing very much for need of rain.
The majority part of this county
helng sandy soil, vegetation can
not stand dry weather long. If the
long wanted rain does not come
soon the corn crop will be fail
ure. Cotton is suffering only
slightly at present.
The lumber trade of this county
is getting rather extensive, with so
many mills scattered about n IN
forests, there is always great dam
ger from forest fires. Yesterday
evening large fire which was ra-
ging in the forest southwest of
here came near destroying the
large mill of the Chesterfield lum-
ber company, owned by Stevens &
Son of this place and Cheraw.
Had it not been for the oppo rtune
arrival upon the scene of Messrs.
Walter Stevens and Hugh Tiller
with the entire force Of hands en-
ployed in the shipping yard here
the mill would have gone up in
the flames. AS it was, it was only
by the hardest efforts that the en-
tire plant was saved.

Interesting Letter From Ian
caster Boy IN Parching Tex as.

caster Boy IN Parching Tex as.
Mn, EpIroR: Thinking some
of my friends in South Car Dina
would like to hear from this part
of Texas | will write you short
letter. About month ago the
crops looked very promising out
they have been cut off consider
ably on account of dry weather.
Corn is almost total fail
ure. People are cutting it for
roughness. Some people will not
get their seed back on land that
makes from fifty to seventy five
bushels to the acre a seasonable
year. Cotton is looking well
considering the dry weather. If
it does not rain soon it will soon
palch up. Wheat and oats were
very short. Land that makes
from thirty to forty bushels of
wheat a seasonable year onlymade
from SIX TO ten and land that
makes from fifty to seventy five
bushels of oats per acre only
made from ten to fifteen.
We have had hut very little
rain this year--haven't had any
all this month. Water is very
scarce. People on the black land
have to haul it for FIVE and six
miles. People in the little towns
have to buy their water. They
give dollar and half load, old
hot tank water at that
The grass in the pastures has
all dried up. The stockmen ere
riding nearly all the time edriving
their cattle from one pasture to
another where ever they can find
water.
The fruit is all very small the
trees look like they are going to
die. We had a ripe watermelon
today, the oath.
Messrs. Burr and John Rags
dale of Cryer Creek, formerly of
South Carolina, were down ut
Dresden visiting friends last Sun
day. They seem to be taking
life easy. Mr.. Burr r.. is flying
around an old widow and John is
flying around her daughter. Mr..
w. S. Barber is also taking life
easy. He has u new turnout,
drives a pair. He says there isn't
but one girl that can ride with
him.
Mr.. S. l.. Dixon, who has been
spending while with his sister,
Mrs. X. K. Blake, left few days
ago for Jacksonville.
Mr.. b. S. Perry, of Angus,
formerly of S. c., is coming to
Dresden next Sunday to see his
best girl.
Messrs. j. O. Rivers, w. II.

Chairman Thomas Ii. Rainsford,
with Messrs j. 5. Sheppard, n.

Bacon, j. u. QUITS, +. w. p.
Butler and several others, met
the party at the station and gave
them another generous Edgefeld
specimen of South Carolina hos
pitallty. The court house was
full when the meeting began,
many Edgcieid famous beauties
being present. The listeners
heard with that interest always
shown ON tins subject by an Edge
field audience.
THE GEORGIA THING LOOSE.
1t was expected by knowing
ones that tins Edgetield meeting
would not, except in its reflex
action. be a solemn occasion. In
genuine Edgeield spirit, long con
fined and non>riven -asunder, it
surpassed, SO the old campaigners
affirm; anything ever seen even
in South Carolina. This was oc.
casioned by the mouthy and most
voclferous tempest war of mouths
and of noise between the rival
factions of Talbert and TiHmap.
For exactly 43 minutes after Col.
Tillman was introduced, this how>
ling and yelling was so persistent
~ m@intained as to effectually stop
even attempts at speaking. Many

counter cheers for Ta!bert and

TO SAVE OLD BARRACKS
Plans Being Drawn at Army Head
quarters in st. Paul-The I'm
provements Contemplated.

The old barracks, or ''lower post. at
Fort Smelling will be restored during the
coming year in accordance with plans now
in course of preparation at department
headquarters, st. Paul.
The Notifications built about 1920 upon
the top of the bluff overlooking the juno
ton Of the Mississippi and Minnesota
rivers were laid out in diamond shape, a
tower being erected at each point of the
diamond and the four towers being con-
nected by walls. The one-story stone
barracks were built along the insiN of
these walls. Two Of the towers are still
standing. One is on the side toward the
Minnesota river. and the other is the
'old tower" or round tower, familiar to all
visitors. @-.E. +.
These towers will be preserved. Tile
round tower will be provided with sky
lights, steam pipes, electric light and other
conveniences overlookedrin 1920, and viii
connecting the four original towers will
ings will not be repaired to resemble their
original pattern, but will be, made over in
imitation Of the old Spanish missions OF
California. A second story will be added.
1t will project over the first story towards
the courtyard and will be supported by a
colonnade. The walls of the building will
be coated with stucco tinted yellow. The
roof will be Of red thing. ~ 3 as
The old barracks Wi be made large
enough to accommodate one battery of
artillery and two companies Of cavalry.
The plans for this reconstruction are
being prepared by Leo H. Pleins, architect
in the office of Colonel George e. Pond,
chief quarternas ter.

LIMIT AMOUNT OF AID
Winnipeg Board Of Trades Attitude
Toward Govt Aid for Grand
Trunks Extension.
Special to The Journal

Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 30.-A special
meeting Of the Winnipeg Board of Trade
was held yesterday afternoon to discuss
a resolution submitted at the last gen
eral meeting two weeks ago. A long dis
cussion ensued on the following amend
ment: --.- &c. - s..... ---s--a. -
1.-THE Winnipeg Board Of Trade has
heard with great pleasure of the inten-
ton of the Grand Truk Pacific railway
to build an independent line Of railway
through Manitoba and the Northwest ter
ritories to the Pacific coast, and wishes
ent line from the Atlantic to the Pacific
is urgently needed by the western coun-
try and the whole dominion Of Canada.
This board, however, having heard
that it is the intention Of the promoters
Of this enterprise to ask parliament for
valuable railway franchise and, in adj
dition, government aid in the shape Of
money, land grants or guarantees, would
respectfully urge on the dominion gov
eminent and parliament the duty Of see
ing that only such aid is given as the
circumstances of the case fully justify,
and that the greatest care be taken to
insist on such safeguards and guarantees
by this railway company as will insure
the country's enjoying an efficient serv-
ice, both freight and passenger, with rates
that shall in no case exceed what is just
and reasonable. !" VII 5, s$Es5
AS the hour was late, the discussion
was continued in order to give the mem
bers further time in which to consider the
question, and adjournment taken until
Friday afternoon. &#

IS A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
The Principal Asset of the Successful Bust.
o.. ness Man.

The head of the largest meat packing
industry In the world for many years
prior to his death, never travelled without
his physician; everywhere he was accom-.
panied by his medical adviser; he hired
linn for his exclusive attendance by the
year and considered the large salary paid
for such service as a part Of his business
investment. He did not do this because
he was a hypochondriac, in contant fear
of illness and death; on the contrary, he
was an exceptionally robust man, but he
realized that the principal in his
enormous business was his own personal
health, and to keep physically and mental
lX We'll and strong was business propO-
sition. pure and simple.
1t Is so with every business man and
woman. A slight cold in the head or
throat may pass off in few DAYS or if
may develop into pneumonia chronic ca
tarrh, or an irritating throat trouble: in
any event its departure should be fastened
by some simple anti-septic preparation
like Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, which are
dissolved in the mouth and thus reach and
destroy the germs of catarrh, pneumonia,
consumption, before they have chance to
propagate and thrive in the inflamed mu-
cous membranes Of the nose and throat.
To burden the stomach with drugs and
Rtimulants is a foolish and often danger
GUS way to combat a cold: because stimu-
lants are always followed by correspond
ing depression and where there is any
tendency to pneumonia increases the dan
ger by increasing the hearts action.
popular school teacher in Pittsburg
writes: II am a walking advertisement
for Stuarts Catarrh Tablets; the change
from crowded steam cheated schooIrOom
to raw, chill out doors kept me nurs-
ing colds in the head and throat from fall
to spring Throat irritation made it diff !.
ficult for me to read or speak and conduct
my classes. My druggist with whom I
spent a large part of my salary, for cough
tlozenges and potash tablets. one day adj
vised me to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
and shall never cease to thank him.
i still catch cold occasionally. but I stop
1t, in a. day or two with the tablets, and
have done missionary work with nv
pupils to such an extent that coughs and
colds are almost unknown amongst the
youngsters in my room.
