MR.. TILLER'S WITHDRAWAL

The announcement last week of
Mr.. w. j. Tiller's withdrawal from
the race for sheriff caused much sur
prise and has been the subject of
considerable comment throughout
the county. Much regret has
been expressed in many quarters
by many loyal friends who were anNi-
Gus to support Mr.. Tiller There is
some concern now as to whether Mr..
Tiller will continue to act as County
Demonstration A.:cn5. He has filled
this office so satisfactorily to the peo-
pie of the county that it is earnestly
desired that he "ithdraw his rcsigna-
ton and return TO that field of en-
deavor. The Advertiser adds its voice
to that of many of its readers in re-
questing Mr.. Tiller to serve the coun-
ty in this important Office There are
other Offices than those of sheriff and
demonstration agent that are within
the gift of the people of the county
and other campaigns are coming. The
man who has served the PEOPLE well
in one capacity will serve to the best
of his ability in anothe-.so we predict
that Will Tiller's withdrawal from the
present race is not the end of his
political career, but the beginning.

ABOUT ROAD MACHINERY

. During the present year Chester
held County will spend ON its roads
sum not far from $4,000. These
ngures are not official. The public,
the tax-paying pu6lic, arc not fur
nlshed with the figures; but Il careful
estimate will bring the total for road
maintenance to approximately the
above figure. The question that nat
urally arises is: What have we got?
Our roads are certainly no better
than they were year ago; many are
not as good And it cannot be said
that the work that has been done was
not needed. The complaint is that it
is of no permanent value. The recent
light rains have destroyed all evil
dences of road work in the county,
with the exception OF one o., two cul-
verstand bridges that have been in
stalled on somewhat permanent
plan. Within the past week some very
excellent grading has been done on
the road running though Chesterfield, +,
but with no surfacing lnis grading
will endure but few weeks. The
county is partly equipped to build
roads, why not fully equip? A small
part of the years expenditure on
maintenance would purchase a steam
shovel with which the balance of this
money would surface many miles of
permanent roads. The matter has
been before the county commission
ers for some time. They have facts
and figures which will prove all that
hesitate?

COTTON GRADING
BY w. w. Long, Director Extension
Service

by w. w. Long, Director Extension
Service
Clemson College, July 1s-The
grading of cotton is the first step in
the scientific marketing of this pro-
duct. There are many difficulties to be
overcome in order that the farmer
and the community may receive the
greatest benefit from the location of
State and Government grader at
the central market of the county. Un-
fortunately many of the commercial
buyers look upon an official cotton
grader as one who is hostile to their
interest. On some markets where the
official grader has been located COM
mercial buyers have thrown every OBJ
stacle in the way of the grader in per-
forming his services to the farmers.
They have refused TO accept his
grades, and they have been known to
raise his grades in order to discredit
him with the farmers. However, when
the commercial buyes realize that the
official grader is there not only for
the purpose of assisting the farmers,
but also for the purpose Of assisting
all who are interested in the cotton
market, and on some of the markets
the commercial buyers today buy on
ly cotton that has been classed by the
official grader
The primary object in locating an
official grader in mar!:et is to pro-
tect the interest of tn. farmer by in
foming him as to the actual grade
OF his cotton in order that he may
deal with the buyer in an intelligent
manner. At the same time he is
rendering assistance to the buyer by
relieving him Of the actual work of
sampling and grading and thus re-
moving all suspicion from the mind
of the farmer that his cotton has
not been properly graded. If the
grader is competent, no honest buyer
can or will object to such service.

REPUBLICAN DOODLE

In the investigation of the use of
money in the campaign of General
Wood it was shown that millions of
dollars were subscribed to boost his
nomination. The money was contribu-
ted by interests that expected. of
course, to profit by his nomination
and election. Big business subscribes
money to any matter only when it
expect to get that money back with
interest. j. B. Duke, the millionaire
tobacconits contributed $I,OOO,OOO.
George w. Perkins gave $4,000 and
IL. H. Rogers, of the Standard Oil
Company, $4,000.
Checks for $4,000 were sent to
Georgia to catch the negro Republi-
can vote, the same amount went to
Florida. The balance of the million
was distributed among the faithful"
in other states.
Congressman Mann, a leading Re-
publican, denounced this use of
money in the Wood campaign, he
condemned it in most indignant
terms. Mann was of course, for Low
den, the Illinois candidate, but he
didn't hesitate to tell tales out of
school. He lambasted the Wood men
furiouSly and incidentally let it out
that patriotism was "A. discount
and Doodle was scattered by so-called
virtuouS Republicans. Ii was thought
that when Senator Newbcrry and his
friends spent $18O,OOO to win seat
III the Senate over Henry Ford, the
limit has been reached but this mil

The position is an exceedingly diff
cult and delicate one to fill and it is
very necessary that the official grader
have the backing Of the farmers and
business men in performing his du-
ties. When cotton has deem graded
by State and Federal grader and
the grade stated in the receipt of a
bonded warehouse, a loan on such
cotton can be easily secured from
the banks.
stated that grading was the first
step in scientific marketing of cotton.
The second step is the warehouing
of the cotton, and the third step will
be the direct selling of cotton from
the bonded warehouse to the manu-
facturer. So it can be seen that be-
fore we can ever hope to work out
system of selling direct from the
producer to the manufacturer, the
problems of grading and warehousing
must be solved. Of course incom-
petent men may sometimes be Sc
cured, but this is merely an incident,
and such situation can be quickly
relieved: What is necessary in or
der to have the grading OF cotton by
State and Federal graders firmly es-
tablished is for our farmers and bust
ness men to give the cotton gader
their moral support and cooperate
with him in every way.
The Extension Service in ccopera-
tion with the Bureau of Markets of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has had several cotton grad
ers located in the State for the past
two years, and has received many
letters from farmers as to the high
value they put upon this service.

He was arrested no3 because the

WATSON FOR THE TICKET

In the first issue of his paper after
the Democratic Convention adjourn
ed at San Francisco, Tom Watson
said Georgia Democrats were not
bound to support the nominees of
that convention. He gave as reason
the refusal Of the convention to seat
the Hoke Smith Watson delegates.
Before his next issue was cut Watson
sent kilograms to both Democratic
nominees, Cox and Roosevelt, con
graduating them and promising them
his support. What has Watson got up
his sleeve? 1t is said he has one eye,
perhaps both eyes on Hoke Smiths
seat in the United States Senate.
