CALOMEL DYNAMIrEs+ ~
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and Lose Days Work.

Calomel salivatesl It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes int6
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just 10
to your druggist and get q 80 cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just 60 back and
get your money.
If you take calomel to-day you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while II
you take Dodson's Live Tone you will
wake up feeling great, full Of ambi.
tion and ready for work or play. It's
harmless, pleasant and safe TO give
to children; they like it.

CONGRATULATIONS

If this little article is to be pub
lished this week it is necessary that
it be written before the election. We
know in advance how the election is
going. We cannot predict how great
will be Mr.. Stevensons majority, but
we know it will be safe. Therefore:
We congratulate the Fifth Congress
sional District in electing a man to
the United States Congress of whom
they will ever be proud. He is man
of whom the State of South Carolina
will be proud. He will quickly take
his place among the great Congress
men from the South. 1t will be a
source Of great pleasure to this en-
tire District to know that their repre-
sentative is taking prominent part
in shaping the destinies of the Nation.
But Chesterfield County-now we
are coming home! The name of Ches-
on the floor af Congress in all her
long history. We should be glad to
have an ordinary man there. But
we've done better than that, we are
sending to represent us one of the
strongest of the strong.
When this article shall have been
printed we believe old Chesterfield
will have done her duty well and will
have helped roll up a Tremendously
large vote for the biggest man in
the Fifth Congressional District.

Now to stop this food of gold and
silver from our State and county we
would only need to plant few cotton
acres in food crops. By doing this
we will quickly place to our credit in
the banks our share of this enormous
sum; we will greatly enrich our soil
and have more and better food sup
plies for ourselves and stock and
have more and better stock than we
are able to buy with cash.
The farmers of this State spend
something like $4,000, 100000 for
fertilizers each year. Why not keep
our part of this at home, by building
up the fertility of the soil?
would suggest that when planning
your crop you should not forget the
orchard, the garden, the potato
(sweet and Irish). Put some of the
best land in corn, with hill of vel
vet beans between each hill of corn.
Prepare to make good supply of
roughage, by planting after your
grain crop, such as cow peas, SOW
beans, peanuts and chufus, and when
you have done all of this set aside
some of those old hill sides for per-
manent pastures to be seeded to Ber-
muda grass for the stock when idle
and for the cattle all the time.
And THEN plant all the cotton you
can handle, for your cash crop.
A well diversified farm means pros
perity. We are making some prog
ress in that direction, so don't let us
go back.
With the aid of the velvet bean, the
soy beans, cow peas and other sum-
mer and winter legumes, and rye to
aid US in improving our soil and, feed
ing our live stock, there is no reason
why we should not become a self-sup-
porting people.
Let every farmer resolve to make
his supplies at home, BECAUSE
THE BOIL WEEVIL WILL BE
WITH US IN A VERY SHORT TIME
This year, 1917, is the time to pre-.
pare. w. j. TILLER.

TENANT FARMERS AND THE
LAND LOAN.

The question is sometimes asked
what benefit is the land loan law to
the tenent who wants to buy farm,
as the loan must not exceed SO per
cent. of the value of the land. Here
is the solution. When a man gets his
loan up to SO per cent. of the value of
the land he pays that to the man from
whom he buys the land. Then he
gives the original owner of the land a
second mortgage, payable, say in ten
years. Thus the original owner gets
a cash payment of so per cent, which
is much more than the average land
sale re>ized hpsfenvthe land loan act.
The tenant with long time and small
payments, can thus buy a farm under
the new land loan act, paying for ii
out of his yearly crops.
The very statement of the case
shows that the rich man has no ad.
vantage over the poor man in buying
land. The Wilson administration has
secured the passage of a great many
laws of benefit to the people, but this
land loan act is one of the greatest
and best of all.
The plan has the merit of cheap.
ness to the land buyer as the total
charges amount only seven dollars on
every 500 borrowed. Of this seven
dollars five goes to pay interest, one
goes on payment of the debt and one
to the bank for services.

cause you to stop and think. These
figures represent dollars and cents
that we are sending out of our State
for things that we can raise as good
or better and in many instances more
cheaply than the northern and west
ern farmer from whom we buy. There
is not one pf these articles but has a
place onS well diversified farm.
These figures are for the State, but
Chesterfield county's full share is rep
resented. These figures were taken
from the year 1911, and there has
been very little if any Improvement

prices have advanced enormously.

try. We say less favored advisedly
for while the farmers of the North
and West can grow only one crop a
year we can grow two and sometimes
three crops year.
Do not understand me to advocate
changing to stock and grain farming
exclusively. This is a cotton country
and should continue to raise cotton,

Highway Engineer
Inspects South Road

state highway engineer, accompanied
by H. M. Lory, also OF the highway
department, c. 0. Dangberg, member
of the board of county commissioners
made tour of inspection of the
Observation-Disclosures road, a portion
of which is to be rebuilt next spring.
Mr.. Cottrell explained that from the
seven cent tax levied in this county,
would bring in a sum of something
over $4,000 To this the state will
give an equal amount, while the fed
eral government will appropriate as
much as both county and state, maxi
Ing a sum of about $500 for expendi-
tnre during 1918. The federal gov
ernment demands that this money be
expended on post road, or one
carried by stage carrying United
States mail, or likely to be used for
that purpose. This fact makes it nec-
cessary that the first work be done on

Last Saturday afternoon about
twenty ladies were hidden to the
home of Miss Sofena Jacobsen. The
afternoon was very pleasantly spent
with needle work and progressive
whist, at which Mrs. Doane claimed
first prize for highest score, while
Miss Meta Jacobsen won the consola-
tion prize. At the conclusion of the
card game, Miss Jacobsen announced
that hide the thimble" would be the
next in order, but when found, it
proved not to be timble but a
heart, bearing the inscription "Sofena
Jacosen and viii Reading" While
this announcement came as surprise
to many of her friends, it has slyly
limited for some time past that cupid
had sealed the hearts of this couple.
Guests were then led to the din
ing room where an elegant repast
was partaken of. The decorations
pink and white baby roses while the
place cards were tiny cupies dressed
in bridal costume mounted on pink
hearts. A bridal couple of cupies
made Miss Jacobsen's place at the
table pronounced.

ed to Miss Jacobsen at the conclusion
of the afternoon and after giving her
a thorough "riceing" the guests de-
parted for their homes

Geo. A. Montrose, End vice chairman;
Geo. II. Hampson, secretary; and
II. G. Marsh of Farmers Bank of

on its acceptance by the federal gov
ernment.
The stretch of road to be taken
over by the government will not be
merely repaired as is now the custom
with the county. New locations are
to be selected and after being turn
piked and Strengthened out, will be
surfaced wherever necessary to MAIN
tain good roadbed
Next year the county tax will be
ten cents and considerable more money
will be available for highway con-
struction. Should the stretch of road
between Carter's and Mountain House
be built next year. work the following
year will be done between Carriers
and Minden.
While this work is being done by
the federal government, 1t is likely
that the county will cooperate in the
work, making needed repairs on this
end of the road, the highway engineer
offering to aid in laying out the work
in the proper manner. The highway
engineers services could also be Sc
sured by the county commissioners
in mapping out necessary work for
the Kingsbury grade, which is sc
badly needed, provided, that the
county commissioners so desired
There is, it is understood a desire on
the part of the commissioners, to
do some substantial work on the Lake
road. and should the services of an
engineer be secured, much money can
be saved. Thousands and thousands
of dollars are being expended on Ne
vada roads that are really wasted
through lack of knowledge of high
way construction. Now that the
services of highway engineers can be
secured. the counties would do vel
to consult them before laying out new
work.
