The county commissioners, in
session today, says the Wades
boro Messenger of last Monday,
received the returns from an
election. A short while ago an
election was held to extend the
limits of the Lilesville graded
school district so as to include
the residence of Mr.. L. T.Carter,
who lived just outside the district.
MIR. Caater was registrar, and
pollholder, and his was the only
vote cast. The election was
unanimously carried by the vote
of one to nothing.

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 50 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.

There seems to be an impress
sion on the minds of a good
many people that the county
supervisor receives twelve hun
dred dollars year, and the
Chesterfield Advertiser made a
statement to that effect not long
ago. One of the county COM
mlssloners was our authority for
the statement some weeks ago
that his salary is only eight hun
dred, and this same Commissioners
has again stated that our report
was right, saying that he is in
position to know. So we again
make the assertion that tbe
supervisor of Chesterfield county
receives eight hundred dollars q
years salary and no more. Ifanv
person denies this, let him show
his authority.
While talking with the Journal
man this commissioner said that
only one county officer receives
twelve hundred dollars, this one
being the superintendent of
education, who was elected on
an eight hundred dollar salary.

Getting a firm hold on life.

The Mexican situation is
about the same. Nothing of
great importance has occurred
lately. One day Carranza has
the front page and Huerta has it
the next. Huerta issued orders
to blockade the port of Tampi-
co, and then rescinded the order.
Carranza refuses to take part in
the peace negotiations at Niaga-
ra. but he is not fighting the
Federals quite so vigorously Just
now. A day or SO ago the papers
said some more fighting was
likely, because Huerta was not
acting square about Tampico,
then they said it was unlikely
because he had reversed his
order.
Yesterday morning the wind
was from the northeast; later in
the day it was from the southeast.
We can't tell you which direc-
ton it will blow from tomorrow,
though we could tell you this
as we'll as we could tell you
what the next move in this Mex
ican affair will be.

No railroad will carry a
passenger unless he pays to a
point ahead. Newspapers are
rapidly adopting the same plan,
and it works. If he is going three
months, he pays three months; if
one year, he pays for year. No
fares are to be collected at the
end of the journey.

Who is w. F.
Stevenson?

Mr.. w. F. Stevenson is run
ming for Congress in the Fifth
District. Most newspaper read
ers know something about him,
but he has been a busy man and
his contact with the district has
not given the people of the dist
rict the intimate knowledge of
him that they should have. We
propose in a few articles to do
this.
He was raised on a farm and
worked in the field each year
until he entered college at the
age of eighteen. He read law
and taught school at the same
time and became an active law
yer in May, 1887. He was elect
ed to the legislature in 1896, 1898
and 1900. He was elected Speak
er of the House in Janeary, 1901.
and served until he quit the
House for that time. On his
election, one of the leading daily
papers made the following COM
nent:
I'm the election of MIR. w. F.
Stevenson, of Chesterfield Coun
ty to the speakership of the house
yesterday the expected has hap
pened. The expected by us al
least, although the result of the
vote seems to have afforded sur
prise in other quarters. On the
18th of last May we said, We
have before referred to Mr..
Stevenson as one of the rising
men in South Carolina politics.
He has all the essentials for sue.
cess as his career in the House
of Representatives has shown.
For the last two sessions he has
easily been the leader of that
body.
He has never been defeated in
any candidacy. He is a quick
debater with an incisive manner,
and a peculiarly attractive,
although awkward delivery"
The statement that he has
never been defeated has to be
now qualified, since he ran for
Attorney General in 1902 and
was beaten by small majority.
The Yorkville Yeoman said then
that he was being urged to run
for McLaurin's place and added,
There is no doubt that candi-
dates for Congress from this the
fifth congressional district would
feel greatly relieved to see him
in the senate"
The Fort Mil Times of january
80, 1901, after visit Of it's editor
to the legislature, said of him:
Tall, slender and loosely made
with a thin crop of sandy hair, a

hue and head that appears none
100 large, one is not apt to guess
the ability of this remarkable
man.
In all South Carolina he is per
haps the most forceful speaker
and debater, with perhaps one
exception and his elevation to
the speakership was due solely to
the recognition of his ability"
So now having left the incum-

said, "They are all waiting to
see who will be in the race"
If this be correct, the forthcom.
ing candidates must be a toler-
ably weaktkneed set. If they
are afraid to enter the race they
ought to be beaten, every one
of them. If a man is capable of
creditably serving the county,
he ought to be able to make a
good race no matter who enters.
