Once more Opportunity knocks at
the door of Chesterfield county.
Once more is the chance offered her
to have one of her own citizens repre-
sent the Fifth Congressional District
at Washington. This county has been
organized as county for nearly las
years and the FIFTH District has been
organized for about thirty-four years
but in all that time no man from
Chesterfield county has ever been sent
to Washington.
But our time has arrived. If Ches-
terfeld county does her duty at the
polls at the coming primary there is
very little doubt but that she will send
to Washington her own most illus
trous citizen, who has no peer in the
State.
This is a trying time for the Demo
cratic Party in Washington. The
House is divided about evenly, with
216 Democrats and 215 Republicans.

We would hardly be found pleading
the cause of just any citizen of this

field boasts of candidate in this race
who at least is the equal of any of
the other candidates. He is admitted
by all to be a man of unusual intel
lectual attainments. His ability has
been recognized in the State Lepisla-
ture, where he was Speaker Of the
House and when on the floor the ac-
lnowledged leader. His reputation
as lawyer is Statewide and he has
gone in and out before the Chester
field people for 80 years and thew

citizens to lay aside small and per

a highway commission and appropria-
tes an equal amount. The govern

What is known as the "Seven Sis
ters' Insurance Bills will probably be
passed by the General Assembly this
week. Senator Laney was one OF
the committee which formed these
bills and they straighten out the pres
S ent insurance tangle in South Caro-
lima. An attempt is being made to
repeal the valued policy" law which

delegation will fight this attempt of
the insurance companies who wish to
value building after it is burned in
stead of as the law requires at pres
ent, when the policy of insurance is
issued.

General Assembly has elected Col. w.

who resigned recently.
Gov; Manning has had introduced
into the General Assembly several
bills to clear up the tax assessment
proposition in South Carolina. One
of the bills provides for survey of
all the lands in this State so that no
lands shall escape taxation, it being
estimated that at least ten per cent Of
the land in this State is not returned
for taxation.
Another very important bill before
the General Assembly iseone requir-
ing all who hold mortgages to return
same for taxation; and requiring the
county officers to search the records
in the clerks office to see that this IS
done. This bill provides that mort
gagged lands shall not be doubly taxed,
but that the man who has given a
mortgage on same shall only paw
taxes on an assessment Dver and
above the mortgage and the person
holding the mortgage to pay taxes on
his mortgage.

narlly he was opposed to war but the
time had arrived when there could
not be any further delay and that
fully cognizant of all the horrors Of
war, he wanted to shake hands with
Ben Illlman, who said that the Ame-
rlcan government had the right to
send her ships anywhere she damn
pleased. Mr.. Sapp was opposed to
European emigration and in favor of
rural credits laws and believes that
the masses of the people should have
thal proper representation in Con-
gress which has not been theirs here
tofore.
The last speaker was the Hon. w.
r: Stevenson, our own RED Head
Mr.. Stevenson said that he had lived
in Chesterfield county for thirty-two
years and that the people of thus
county had never yet failed to give
hlm majority of their votes to any
position to which he aspred. He re-
1erred to the fact that rural credit
law had already been enacted and
that an emigration bill to restrict
emigration had been enacted into law.
1hat he wanted government money TO
eXpend on our highways, but same
could not be secured until the peoDlo
got after the members of the lepisia-
ture and made them create a State
highway commission or it's equivalent.
Mr.. Stevenson stated that he was in
favor of peace and hoped that war
could be avoided. He referred to the
TACT that at the present time the situ-
alton was freighted with peril and
that If war came, he would be opposed
to conscription to send our bows to
die upon the battle-fields of Europc.
He called attention to the fact that
one of the greatest problems that
is confronting Congress in case of war
is the raising of sufficient money or
revenue with which to prosecute the
war. If elected he promised to see
that the great burden of taxation
would be thrown upon those able to
pay and that he would ever look out
for the interests of the Fifth Congress
slonal District. Mr.. Stevenson said
this was Chesterfield county's chance
to have Congressman for the first
time in her history and as he closed
his eloquent speech he was greeted
with prolonged applause.
1t is worthy of mention that all five
candidates for Congress are attorneys
and that no other profession or busi-
ness is represented.

Whirlwind Campaign
Opened Here Yesterday

The initial campaign meeting for
the voters to have an opportunity to
hear the aspirants for Congress was
held in the Court House in Chester
field yesterday. AS the primary cleo
ton will be held Friday, the 10th,
very little notice had been given of
the meeting to be held yesterday and
only about a couple of hundred voters
were present to hear the five candi-
dates.
The meeting was called to order by
County Chairman, the Hon. NJ. j..
Hough, and the speakers were intro
duced I'm alphabetical order, the first
being Col. I. 3. Butler, of Gaffney.
Col. Butler stated that he had been
honored by his native county, Chero-
kee, by representing them in the halls
Of Legislation at Columbia and that

Tor Congress he received over 1000
votes in Chesterfield, which he appre :
clated very much. Col Butler be-

only be declared if no way of honor
able escape is found.
The second speaker was Col. Ar
thur L.. Castor, of Chester, who in
recltlng his qualifications for Con-
gress, told of the loyal support al
ways he heretofore had in his home
county; of the encouragement he had
received from all parts of the district
IN making this rae. Col. CASTOR was
IN favor of the government building
up our public roads and extending our
rural free delivery.
The third speaker was Col. j. Lyles
Glenn, of Chester, who referred to
the fact that he had been honored by
his home county and had been elected
to every offc" to which he had ever
asplrcd; that this was the first time he
had ever asked anything at the hands
of the voters of the Fifth District.
Col. Glenn stated that all the candi-
dates were able, but he belived that
he was better qualified than any of
the others. He was proud of the fact
that he was one of the delegates to
the historical Baltimore Convention
and that he voted day and night for
that wonderfully wise man, Woodrow
Wilson.
The fourth speaker was Mr.. C. M.
