While the County Fair comes at

While the County Fair comes at a
time whes our farmers are unusually
busy, due to the lateness of the cot
ton crop, it is better late than never.
The state of mind oil the majority of
our citizens has of late been such as
will ben it by relaxation. Fair week
is a good time to forget troubles, lay
aside worries, mix with the gay
throng, laugh and be merry. We
have been thinking in figures, any
where between 12k and 20 cents for
so long that it will do us good to get
away from it all for few days and
have good time meeting friends, rid
ing on the merry-go-round, shooting
the shutes and being childish and
foolish generally. We get enough
tragedy out Of life without trying,
let US try for little comedy.

RED cRoii AND rnr NAN

Primarily, Red Cross was meant
for every man. woman and child in
America and in the world. It is hu-
name agent created by your dollar,
your neighbor's dollar for the, sole
and single benefit of humanity.
If you are the sort of fellow who
delights in tho knowledge that "man's
inhumanity to man makes countless
millions MOURN" then you want to
get as far away from the Red Cross
as you possibly can.
If you belong to any sect or or
ganization which opposes aid to your
fellows, the Red Cross is not for you.
If you believe that health is mat
ter of no importance, that cities
should have jails, policemen, theatres,
churches and schools, but no nurses,
doctors, hospitals, relief of suffering
or take precautionary measures
against disease, then Red Cross is
not for you.
If you think that when communi-
ty Is swept by fire or flood, or by any
other calamity that strips people of
their all, leaves them manned and
wounded-if you think these starv-
ing children, that the sore and help
less victims of disaster should be left
to themselves, should be denied an or
ganization that would give such q
people physical comfort, bind up their
wounds, and afford them the great
est of all panaceas, mental ease, then
Red Cross is not for you.
If you are deaf to pain, blind to
misery, hardened to pity, dead to feel.
ing for your fellowman, then Red
Gross is not for you.
But if you believe in doing the
most possible for humanity, then Red
Cross is for you and all like you.
The fourth Red Cross roll call of
members is on. 1t is your Red Gross
because it acts as your personal rep
resentative in humane work Renew
that membership today.

At the General Elections last week
the amendment to exempt Chester
field from certain restrictions was car
ried and is now law. This amend
ment is also known as the water
works BILL" because it enables the
town to issue bonds for the amount
necessary to construct water works
and sewerage systed. A petition
having already been circulted and
signed, it is now only necessary to
hold an election and vote for the i'm
provement. The election will be ar
ranged for early in the spring.

"Pigs is pigs" but it takes Duroc
to make a real hog" is the slogan of
the American Duroc-Jersey Swine
Breeders Association, of Chicago.
Chesterfield county breeders have
known this for several years and, as
consequence, the Duroc outnumbers
all other breeds and the scrub is dis
appearing from the face of the
county.

THE REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE

Inc eiectlon OF Warren G.. Hard
ing on November q was not unex-
pected by those who were able to read
between the lines. For several
months previous to the election poll
ticians who read much and talked a
good deal seemed to feel that Mr..
Cox had little chance of winning.
There seemed to be a sort of dis
satisfaction in the air. And dissatis-
faction with things in general BODIED
no good for the party in power.
Phere were millions of discontents
throughout the land and these voted
for a change of party. The Demo
Gratis had had eight years in office.
During the Democratic administra-
ton America entered the great war
and won it for the Allies. During the
eight years of Democratic administra-
tion the country passed Though a
period of great prosperity and natur-
ally some sort of reconstruction be.
came necessary. Wartime prices
could not continue.
Each of these changes in conditions
made enemies for the party in pow.
er. And each of these enemies regis.
tered his protest by voting for Hard.
ing and the Republican party.
Had the Republican party been in
power before AMI during the war and
up to the present time, the Republi-
can party mould have suffered de-
feat at the hands of the voters, Just
as the Democrats were buried in an
avalanche of protest.
Beginning away back in 1914 the
Democrats made enemies of all those
people who wanted America to plunge
into the war at its beginning. In
1917 those who deprecated our en-.
trance into the mar resolved to vote
the Democratic ticket no more. Then
it must be remembered that there
are many thousands of pro-Germans
in the United States whose votes
would be for any party other than
the Democratic organization and for
any man other than Woodrow Wilson
There was also resentment against
the administration because the League
of Nations had not been adopted and
resentment by others because the ad.
ministration had tried so hard to
adopt it.
There were those who lost sons in
the war who blame the administra.
tion for entering the war; for the
draft law and for various other de.
tails in connection with the conduct
of the army which they thought work
ed hardship upon them or their
sons.
The administration has been blam-
ed for financial fluctuations, for the
rise or fall in the price Of commodo-
ties. Many Republican votes were
cast in the Democratic South by farm,
ers who blamed the administration
for the low price of cotton.
So, all in all, there were many fac
tors contributing to the defeat of
Governor Cox and the party behind
him. The success of Senator Hard
ing was in no way a personal success.
The landslide was not drawn toward
Harding and the Republicans it was
pushed that way from Cox and the
Democrats.
The Chesterfield advertiser. [volume] (Chesterfield C.H., S.C.) 1884-1978, 1920-11-11

1t is gratifying to note that at least
half the cotton that is being ginned
in and near Chesterfield is being held
off the market. 1t is also gratifying
to note that about half is being sold
That half that is being warehoused
or otherwise held for better prices
will undoubtedly have it's effect on
bringing fair price when the factor
les begin to need cotton. The half
that is being sold now is paying debts,
buying necessities and keeping money
in circulation. Each half, the dor
nant and the active, are therefore
serving q purpose.

The Onc-Ycar Agricultural Course.

Clemson College, Sept. 22.-Every
young farmer in South Carolina who
has not the time or the money TO
take a full four-year course should
consider the advisability of going to

its nature and will give to the young
farmer a knowledge Of his profession
which he could not otherwise OBJ
tain. Not only will he obtain this
education in agriculture, but he will
be one Of the cadet corps getting mil
itary and physical training, and hav-
ing every advantage that the regular
students enjoy.

ton for this short course, and every
young farmer who can do so is ear
nestly urged to take advantage Of
this great opportunity. Inquiries
should be addressed to the Registrar,
Clemson College, S. c., who will re-
ply promptly and give full informa-
ton.

-Four Millions in Back Pay.

Washington. Sept. 2i.-The SUM
Of $4,364,6GI.0 90, covering back pay
for increased wages for the months
Of May, June and July, has been paid
by the Southern Railway system to
it's employees who were granted in
creases by the award Of the railway
labor board, which gave increases to
certain classes Of railway employees
and made the increases applicable
from May Isl, although the award
was not announced until late in July.
The amount paid out by the

June, 81, 1,444,533.74; July, $1,51S,-

be taken as a fair index Of the sums
that will be added to the Southern's 8

MAN ESCAPED A YEAR AGO.
Had Earned 7s Days by. Good Behav-
ior and Lost These by Escaping.
(Anderson Mail, 22d.)


Frank Gregor, who three years
ago was convicted of shooting con-
ductor on the P. and N. Railway, and
given two years on the Anderson
county chain gang, is being held at
the county Jail. 1t seems that Gregor
escaped from the gang about Il days
prior to the date on which he was to
be released, and has been a fugitive
for nearly one year. According to the
authorities, In the first year and a
half of his service on the gang, Gre
gor's behavior was very good, and in
accordance with the regulations a
man with record of this kind is
supposed to be given credit for this
and released earlier than would 9TH
erwise be the case. In this instance
Gregor only had to serve IA days, al
the expiration Of which he would
have been released. The penalty for
escaping in this case will be SO days
more service on the gang.
Gregor was arrested yesterday in
Greenwood and brought directly to
Anderson.
