AS a good many of the clubs
have not organized this year.
the Executive Committee would
like very much for such clubs to
meet real soon and properly Or
ganize.
1t is very important that each
club have a Secretary and a.
member of the County Execu-
tive Committee.
Let the word go out to all the
voters to enroll for there is abso-
lutely no reason for any white
democrat in Chesterfield county
being deprived of the right to
vote, provided he is 81 years of
age, or shall become so before
the general election, and a citi-
zen of the State for two years,
and has resided in the county
six months and the voting pre-
cinct 60 days prior to the primary.
We shall be glad to give any
information we can.

Cheraw Boy Flies in Mexico.

Patrick N. L. Bellinger, lieu
tenant Gunior grade), United
States navy, who has been aloft
more often at Vera Cruz than any
other of the navy aviators who
fastened to that port aboard the
Birmingham when Mexican
affairs became critical, is a native
of Cheraw and has a number of
relatives in South Carolina.
Richard Harding Davis, writ
ing from Vera Cruz, said of him
recently: ''Eie has a very young
face, tanned to the color of Nc
Clellan army saddle, his hair is
yellow, eyes blue and always
smiling. He is the picture of
health. Clean living, clean
thinking and the daily exercise
of taking chance with death
have given him the look of a
Greek god or one of Leyendeck-
er's captains. He is much too
good to lose. Were he nv son,
and he is Young enough, would
give him good talk for taking
such risks, and in order to keep
him out of danger would make
him a paymaster or an admiral" {"
Lieut.. Bellineer was born
October 8, 1885. He was
appointed TO the Naval academy
at Annapolis in 1908. and he has
had five years and eight months

Mr.. r. H. Garland, who has
been suggested for the legisla-
ture, informs us that it will be
impossible for him to enter the
race. He says he appreciates
very much the solicitations of
his friends, but he is firm in his
refusal. He is not situated so he
can get away from home and
his work, he says, and while he
appreciates what has been done
for him he can't see his way
clear to make the race.

The automobile in which the
county supervisor rides has
caused quite a little talk, and we
are glad to be able to give the
facts in the case as told bv the
clerk of the county board. The
commissioners proposed to pre-
sent the car to him, but as this
is not provided for in the law,
Mr.. King declined to accept it.
He therefore paid for it with his
own money, and is, of course,

THE NEW TURKEY.

A most interesting and illurinat-
ing view of Turkey as it stands af-
ter the Balkan wars, is presented in
a report from Oscar S. Heizer, vice
consul general at Constantinople, and
published in the Consular and Trade
Reports. 1t contains, for instance,
such specific statements of the terri
torial and population status follow
ing the wars, as these:
Turkey lost nearly all of its European
provinces by the war with the Balkan
Allies-Bulgaria, Greece, Servia and
Montenegro. By the treaty of London
signed in June, 1913. II retained a strip
OF territory on the European side of
the Straits east OF a line drawn from
Enos on the Aegean Sea to Media on
the Black Sea Later, when the allies
were fighting among themselves, II sue
line westward so as to include Adrian
ople and Kirk Kilisse within the empire
again.
The territory remaining to Turkey in
Europe IL about the size Of New Jersey
and Delaware combined. viz. 1910 square
balance of it's former European domain
has been divided approximately as fol-
lows: To form the new prinCipality of
Albania. l2.5OO square miles. with a
population of $4,000; to Greece, 22,114
square miles, with 10000 inhabIta nts f;
10 Servia, 1888 square miles. with 1.21O.-
eD0 inha abitants; TO Bulgaria, l0,256
square miles, with 7O9,646 inha abitants,
and To Montenegro, 2.Z95 square miles.
with 10000 inhabitants.
The Macedonian provinces have been
for decades in an almost continuous
state OF unrest, so that it has been
necessary 10 retain large and expen-
siNe standing army there, and this has
left little opportunity to promote the
welfare of the country. The loss of
these provinces will give Turkey a
chance 10 concentrate its energies upon
the development of its rich Asiatic
provinces, which comprise an area OF
over 10000 square miles, and a popula-
ton of more than 10000, 900 inhabitants
In order to develop properly this fruit
full territory, which is larger than North
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas combined,
II will be necessary to build more roads
and railways, to introduce, on a larger
scale. modern agricultural implements
and machinery, and to open up the
mines, many of which have been worked
only in the most primitive way.
Mr.. Heller is firmly convinced that
Turkeys seeming misfortunes in
war will prove a blessing. Relieved
of the necessity for concentrating
her energies on the military and ad-
ministrative management of the ter
ritory in Europe, the country will
begin to develop in a normal way.
If he is correct, Turkey will have an

experience paralleling that of Spain
otter the war with the United States.
The loss of Cuba, Porto Rico, and
the Philippines set the Spanish peo-
pie at work developing what they
had left, and the HiSpanian penin-
sula presently found itself more
prosperous than in many decades.
Constantinople, if Mr.. Heizer is
not overenthusiastic, is by way of
becoming magnificent modern city
at rapid rate. The narrow streets
are being widened, a comprehensive
trolley system is being installed, as
well as an electric light system. The
new telephone exchange is in opera
ton in the business sections and will
shortly extend to all the residence
parts. Automobiles are constantly
more used, and the government has
mail collection auto vans such as
may be seen in any Occidental city.
Handsome parks are being laid out.
1t is worthy the attention of Amer
lean cities that a system of modern
abattoirs is about to be undertaken,
to give the citya cheaper and more
sanitary meat supply. American
municipalities are so far behind the
world in this particular regard that
this enterprise of the ancient Orient
al capital may well cause lifting
of Occidental eyebrows.
Throughout the empire, in the
great Asiatic domain as well as the
little European strip that yet re-
mains, the spirit of modernism is ap-
parent. The Germans are getting a
rapidly increasing share of the busi-
ness; but Britain quietly continues to
hold its own and to gain in its vol
ume of exports to Turkey; while the
financial power of France enables her
to maintain a profitable business in
many directions. The United States
has a wide field of opportunity for
exploitation of Turkish trade, and
the fact that in the fiscal year
1928 our exports to Turkey
showed a greater proportionate in
crease than those of almost any 9TH
er country, indicates that the oppor-
tunity is not by any means being
overlooked.

KNOCKINGOFF THE
HOOPS.

Senator Newlands has introduced
resolution that sounds like an eff
fort to knock the hoops off the river
and harbor pork barrel. 1t looks to
the creation of a river regulation
commission composed of the Secre-
taries of War, Interior, Agriculture,
and Commerce, with two Senators
and two Congressman. This COM
mission is charged with preparing
comprehensive plans for river de-
velopment and improvement.
1t has always been charged against
the pork barrel system-and the
charge has been fully justiied-that
it wasted most of the money spent
on rivers because there was no sys-
tenn, continuity, or coordination in
handling the work. The prime
requisite was to get appropriations
assigned to enough States and dis
tricts to insure that there would be
votes enough to pass the measure.
That is the essence of bad business.
1t needs to be kept in mind that
while the Federal Government is
responsible for improvements that
concern navigation, it is under no OBJ
legation to finance those that reclaim
or protect private or corporate prop
erty. Yet a large purpose of the
river and harbor appropriations is
protection and reclamation. In this
connection a study of European
methods. which have been highly
successful, would serve well. There,
costs of doing such work are divided
between the general and the local
administrations There is every rea-
son why the same system should be
adopted here.
Suppose Missouri river city finds
its river front is being worn away by
the streams current. The town moves
on Washington, and on the plea that
navigation-which doesn't exists
to be served, appropriation is de-
manded to riprap and pile the river
front. Millions upon millions have
beer spent extravagantly on such
pretexts. Suppose it being report
ed that particular town needs
S500,000 for such purposes, the Gov
ernment appropriated S250,000, to be
expended only ir case the city match
ed it with a like sum? That is the
way it wouldCbe done in most Euro
pean countries; and there, rivers
have been improved in practical
ways, traffic has grown on them. and
substantial, permanent benefits have
been derived.
If the present years river and har-
boz bill could be defeated or vetoed,
and the Newlands measure adopted,
it would be long step in the right
direction. There is no good reason
for continuing another year with the
old chaotic system of throwing
money away. The reform might well
be started right now.

MR.. WARBURGS DISGUST.

1t is not often that this Govern
ment has the opportunity to obtain
the services Of a man so highly
qualified and abundantly equipped as
Paul NJ. Warburg is to be member
of the Federal reserve board in
Washington The Government did
have that opportunity. For the sake
Of making a success of the new
banking system and having it take
rank with the great systems of the
world. for the sake of Mr.. Wilson'S
Administration and the business in
terests of the United States, Mr..
Warburg was willing to sacrifice his
private affairs to give his time and
devote his energies to the organiza-
ton and operation of the new bank
ing system under the Federal re-
serve board.
He was just the man needed for
the particular work which he is so
eminently fitted to do. 1t was for
tunate that there was such a man to
call upon and that he was available.
But the Congress element which
thinks a great deal more about play
ing politics than about having good
banking system, or good tariff sys-
tenn, or efficient government of any
sort, could see only the chance to
make cheap political capital out of
grilling Mr.. Warburg on the witness
stand before he should be confirmed
by the Senate.
Mr.. Warburg very naturally de-
clined to be made a pawn in any
such paltry political game. In dis
gust he insisted that the President
withdraw his name. We can't blame
him. Such miserable clap-trap is
insufferable to any man who has
nothing to gain from serving the
Government, the Government and
the country having so much To gain
from getting his services.
But because Mr.. Warburg is just
the man needed on the Federal re-
serve board, which, by these very
tokens, is shown to be in the gravest
danger of being thrown into politics,
like other departments and bureaus
of the Government, we could hope
that he would reconsider his deter
mination, though he had announced
it; that he would be willing even to
suffer the nauseating performance
that the Senate politicians would
like to have him undergo; that he
would stick it out, because there
must be somebody on the board who
understands the science of banking
as he understands it, and who
doesn't comprehend what politics is
when industry and business and
finance are in question.
