SHALL WE GO FORWARD?

There are periods in the life of
every individual, every business
and every town when this ques-
tion must be faced. 1t seems
that such a time has arrived for
Chesterfield.
This town has apparently
reached stage in it's develop
ment when it must take step
forward Or must stagnate
which shall it be?
First and most important of
all, we need a live board of trade.
This we must have and now is
the time to put such an organi-
ZatiOn on foot.
We suggest that a mass meet
ing be called in the near future
and board of trade be organiz-
ed and set to work. 1t is doubt.
ful if any town can accomplish
anything noteworthy for itself
without board of trade.
Second: We are ideally situat-
ed for the installation of water
works at minimum cost No
body needs to be told that we
need it. There are sickening
stenches waited on every breeze;
there are myriads of flies laden
with filth that ought to be car
ried off by sewers. UndOubted
ly the present conditions are
fraught with danger to the health
of our entire population.
Then there is the terrible fire
risk. A big fire started on Main
street, and the business section
of Chesterfield will be quickly in
ashes.
This town has no bonded debt.
1t has money in the treasury
and taxes are light. Water
works would be self-sustaining
through water rents. The re-
duction in fire insurance rates
would be considerable.
We cannot afford to be longer
without water works and sewers

THE JOKER IN POLITICS

The practical joker is usually
a man of good intentions who of
ten has cause to lament the harm
done by his apparently innocent
prank.
There is a joke going the
rounds in Chesterfield county
and being fostered from a sense
of fun that may possibly result
in great harm to this county and
the Fifth Congressional District.
The Hon. w. F. Stevenson is
Chesterfeld's logical candidate
for Congress from this district.
To all appearances he has an ex-
cellsnt opportunity of winning.
But his chances ought not to be
jeopardized in the slightest de-
gree by the entrance into the
race of an other Chesterfield
county man.
1t is reported to this office that
in a spirit of levity many citizens
have encouraged one of Chester
field county's perennial candida
dates to enter the race against
Mr.. Stevenson. If this county
had nothing at stake the joke
might be allowed to pass un-
challenged but for all we know,
this race may possibly be a close
one and very few votes sacri,
feed to fun may deprive Ches-
terfeld county of a representa-
tive in Washington.

PAYING TRIBUTE

The good State of South Caro-
lima pays an annual tribute to
other states in the union of $13,-
100000 for the privilege of eat
ing their inferior canned goods
So far as this State is concerned
here is clean waste of $13, 900
900.
1t is a safe assertion that ev-
cry penny of this vast sum could
be kept within our bordrs-if
we only cared for the money.
The shelves of every grocery
store in South Carolina are load
ed with this inferior foreign, fac.
tory-canned stuff when they
ought to be loaded with our own
products, clean and wholesome,
canned by 1000 canning clubs
throughout the State.
Let the girls of Chesterfield
County see that they get their
share of this pile of money.

HELPING THE FARMERS

When the bill to increase the
efficiency of the military estab-
lishments of the United States
the proposition for the govern
ment to nanufacuture nitrate's
advocated by Senator Smith-of
South Carolina, was opposed by
Senator Hardwich of Georgia.
His opposition was based upon
the fact that the plants when not
manufacturing nitrates for the
army could be used for making
nitrates for fertilizers. Iti al
most inconceivable that Demo
crat, and a Southern Democrat
at that, would oppose the gov
errment aiding the farmers by
making fertilizers. Sentor Hard
wick's opposition to Senator
Smiths amendment was that it
was Socialistic measure-that
the government should not en-
gage in manufacturing nitrates
for fertilizers for that reason.
Senator Owen replied that the
measure had the very spirit of
Democracy: Democracy means
the rule of the people for the
people-for all the people-for
their happiness, health and eff &.
ciency."
Senator Underwood of Ala
bama. discussing the conference
report said: "One of the things
we are driving at is to make for
tilizerS. | think that is a most
important thing, thing that is
close to my heart and close to
my people-a thing | want to see
accomplished. The primary pur.
pose Of this bill now and in the
future, is to supply the nitrates
to protect the government in
time Of war"
But as shown by Senator
Smith, Senator Underwood and
others the plant when not max
ing nitrates for the army, could
cheaper the prices of fertilizers.
If that be treason make the
best of it. 1t is good Democratic
doctrine to help the the people
when aud where they need help

THE BALANCE OF TRADE

Here is something for the ca
lamity howlers to put in their
pipes and smoke-that is, if they
can stop bowling long enough.
The mouth of March was the
greatest month for foreign trade
that the United States has ever
seen, not only as to value of ex.
port but imports. For the fiscal
year ending April 1st there was
an increase of imports of "a per
cent over last year and exports
were 80 per cent Increase in
same reriod And the New York
Independent asks: Are there
to be any limits to our prosperi-
ty?"
