agent.
1t is the intention of Mr.. w.
j. Tiller TO have the pig club
and corn club boys here for in
struction at the same time.
There are about thirty boys in
these clubs.
This is an opportunity for
chesterfield again to do the
right thing. 1t will be neces-
sary for the good people of the
town to provide homes for these
girls and boys during the four
days. The actual expense OF
having the course here is $500.

understood that another town in
the county is anxious to have

entertain these ambitious young
people.

Creamery Routes For
Chesterfield County

progressive farmers and live
stock men and women was held
in Cheraw Saturday morning to
investigate the creamery busi-
ness. AS result of the instruc-
tive addresses, the inquiries and
deliberations, creamery for
chesterfield is counyt on the way.
The meeting organized by
electing ID. S. Matheson as
chairman, and F. B. Evans as
secretary.
In the absence of w. w. Long,
the State demonstration agent.
the meeting was addressed by
his representative, Mr.. Hall,
who told about the establish
ment of creameries in other
places, their methods of organiz-
ing and success. He advised the
immediate esta bllshment of
cream routes and the shipping
of the cream to the Darlington
creamery. In the meantime the
surrounding country should be
organized, farmers induced to in
crease the mum Der of COWS kept,
to improve the grade and in the
fall they could successfully es-
tabllsh their own creamery. At
teasu 300 COWS would be required
to make 1t success, and a capi-
ia! of not more than $1,000. in
cluding plant.
s. G.. Evans, the demonstra-
tion agent of Marlboro county,
was there to nrge the establish
ment of creamery, and promis-
ed three and perhaps four cream
routes in upper Marlboro, with SO
to 60 cows to the route. He show
ed that income from the cream
| would support the COWS, and
that the sweet milk that would
be left, besides having what
was wanted for family use,
would feed poultry aud hogs.
The four cooperative creamerles
now in the State make about
$4,000 pounds Of butter each
month. Farmers get 32 cents
pound for their butter fat, and
pay 2 cents pound at the high
est, often less, to the route
agent for collecting it. He stress
ed the need of diversifving, as
the boil weevil would be with
US in five years, and now the
necessary steps t. "prepared-
ness should be taken. The cot
ton acreage should be cut down,
feed crops planted, live stock
kept and the march OF the wee
VII would not only be stopped,
but the soil would be enriched
and each farmer would have his
own fertilizer factory.
r. 5. Evans, Cheraw boy,
Clemson graduate, and now the
industrial agent of the Sea board
railroad, was present and urged
the keeping Of live stock not on
ly to cut down the high cost of
living, but to cut down fertilizer
bills; and the building Of silos.
He stated chat Clemson college
has plans and specifications for
building an inexpensive silo,
which will be given to any one
for the asking.
A committee, with Mr.. Mathe-
son as chairman, was appointed
to canvass this county and up
par Marlboro for the necessary
mum Der Of COWS and the estab-
lishment of cream routes. The
chairman appointed John Hick-
son for Marlboro, H. j. Little for
the Wadesboro road, Julius Gov
ington fo: the Camden road, f.
L. Evans for Cheraw, w. A.
Douglass for Oherterfield and
the railroad as far as Pageland,
and 5. I. A. McManus. This
committee will meet Saturday TO
receive the individual reports,
and to take further steps towards
the realization of this industry

The Political Pot


for the Importance Of the offices
represented in the list. There
were twelve new candidates to
enter the race last week.
Unique among them is tn
card for Donald S. Matheson.
This card was presented by the
friends of Mr.. Matheson in the
hope that he would make the
race. Rumor has it that he has
declined to run.
Though this paper has an
nounced it's policy of hands off"
among LEGAL candidates, it seems
necessary to violate that policy
and say few words right here.
The editor is not acquainted
with Mr., Matheson and therefore
can have no personal preference
in the matter.
1t is very important that we
send the best man to Colum bia
that can possibly be supplied to
the place. At the last session
Chesterfield had proba bly, the
strongest delegation in the
State. Every effort should be
made to maintain this high
standard Of service. It is suffi>
cient that the county seems uni
ted on this proposition and THIS
unity also centers on the nan
Matheson.
We have so far heard only one
reason advanced why he should
not run-he IL busy man. This
is also reason why he should
accept. An idle man just now
is not wanted.
If what We hear is true, Ches-
terfield County has been good to
Mr.. MathrSon. AS Il lawyer, his
unusal ability was appreciated;
for his righteous character and
up-rightne-s of conduct in legal
practice he has been revered.
When his health failed and he
retired 10 his farm, the sympa-
thy and love of o whole county
went with him. Now that his
health has apparently returned,
united county looks to him,
asking service. This service
cannot be rendered without sac
ritice. This sacrifice is demand
ed-we believe justly demandf l.
MIR. Matheson being just n
will surely make his arrani
ments accordingly and perform
this service for his county.
Mr.. NJ. s. Watson last week
announced for the Office Of
Treasurer. Mr.. Watson's quail
tlcations are we'll know. He is
one Of the universally liked men
and will poll good vote.
The office of Sheriff entered
the list with a vengence when
Messrs. Douglass and Ingram
began their duel to the death,
so far as this Office is concerned.
1t is admitted that Sheriff Doug
lass will be hard man to beat.
He has served a number years
in this Office and has served we'll.
He is also popular man.
Mr.. Douglass is opposed by
the strongest man iii the county.
1t is said that Mr.. Ingram, in
temperament and disposition Is
not unlike the present Sheriff.
He also is admittedly capab bic
man. 1t is apparently a well
matched race. In Cheraw the
other day polical forecaster
was h card 80 say that
ingram will beat Douglass 3 to
l." Another man, apparently
as well informed, on hearing
this, said. "I'd like to take his
money on that proposition, and
Pm willing to reverse the order
aud bet that Douglass will beat
Ingram by 3 to t." 1t will, tc
say the least, be an interesting
race.
Another interesting race is
, that for Clerk Of Court. Mr.. |
Z. Mangum the present incum
