A BIG SUCCESS

and during its stay until Tuesday ev.
ening entertained crowds that filled
every available seat and about all the

and it was very fullf enjoyed by all
who attended the entertainments. Ar
excellent program was provided for
each afternoon and evening, COM
plete change being given each day.
The financial success of the undertake
ing was assured before the doors
were opened by the advance sale of
season ticktes that resulted from the
friendly competition of the two bri-
gades of young ladies, under the col
ors of Red and Blue. The Reds, under
the leadership of Miss Sarah Moore,
won the first prize in this contest who
rereived an immense box, of sweets in
recognition of her efforts. Miss Mat
tie Gaddy, who led the Blues, won
second prize, which was also box
of candy of goodly size.
On Sunday morning religious SER
vices of the churches of Chesterfield
were jointly held in the tent.
On Sunday evening DIR. William E.
Adams, director Of the Chautauqua,
delivered one of his famous patriot
ic-religious lectures which enthused
the large audience that came out to
hear him.
DR.. Adams during his several Wis
its to Chesterfield has become very
popular with out citizens and it was,
therefore, a very easy matter, with
the able assistance of Mr.. C. C. Doug
lass to make the necessary arrange
ments for the Radcliffe organization

Miss Rebecca Pearl Melton, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Erwin Melton,
passed away at the family summer
home at Brevard, North Carolina, last
Friday morning, May ID, at 7:3O

The news of the untimely death of

terry here. The impressive ceremony

teachers and had only recently re-
signed her school at Middendorf,
where she was loved by all with whom
she came in contact.
She was in the twenty-third year
of her life. She leaves besides her pa
rents, the following brothers and sis
ters:
Messrs. C. L. and T. C. Melton, Of
Chesterfield and J. v. Melton, of
Winnsboro; Misses Vera and Nell
Melton, of Chesterfield; Mrs. L. L.
Bird, of jefferson and Mrs. C. A. Sit
ton, of Easley, S. C.
Miss Pearl Melton was known and
loved by nearly every resident of

sonal loss to all who knew her. The
bereaved parents and sisters and bro
theirs have the profound sympathy
of the entire community.

A Narrow Escape.

Whew! Senator Thompson put his
foot in it when he talked about the
assemblymen as being primed with
liquor the night they voted to Gust the
Socialists. Well he says they did, and
they say they didn't. Now, whichever
way the cat jumps the assemblymen
from l.. Cuvillier upward or downward
have demonstrated by the Indignation
of their denials that it is disgraceful
thing to drink whisky when voting.
Now let them show the earnestness of
their convictions by passing resolu-
ton that any member of the assembly
convicted of drinking whisky when
voting be expelled from the assembly.
Ii they refuse or neglect to pass such
a resolution the public can judge them
to be the liars they accuse Senator
Thompson of being. Perhaps if Sena-
tor Thompson had said Light wines
and beer he would have had them.

True. but Not Deep,

Now let us listen to General Wood:
"'There is everything in common be-
tween capital and labor. United they
stand like rock; divided they are
certain to fall Together they form
that great thing we call industry =;
division may mean chaos Absolutely
right in every particular. But General
Wood has nothing to say about money
invested in land monopoly, which is as
suredly not capital. A capitalist is
merely wealthy laborer. He works
his capital as the man without money
works his body and mind. A man that
buys piece of land and collects
ground rent for his support is not
working" He is resting. If he buys
for Il rise he is specializing, hoping the
value will go up. Sometimes it goes
down, and he loses. Hence land spec
ulation is gambling.

The American Ideal.

| hope every one has read Mr.. Hoo
yer's address to the Methodist confer
ence at Kingston, n. Y. 1.-THE Ameri-
can Ideal' Mr. Hoover spoke of as an
insistence that there should be equality
of opportunity to all. Now, unless the
land is rendered free by the abolition
of private ownership and the collection
OF it's annual rental value by the state,
together with the abolition of all taxes,
there can never be equality of oppor-
tunity in this or in any other land. Mr..
Hoover goes on: 1--WE have developed
a far better distribution of necessities,
comforts and wealth than any other
place in the world Mr.. Hoover is
right, as every one knows, but valuable
land has been more easy of access here
than in any other place I'M the world.
1t is not so today, and it is the aim of
single takers to bring back the old
American opportunity that was the
lodestOne to draw the vast flood of
emigrants to our shores. Now that val
liable land is monopOlized, the tide
fluctuates and will some time recede
unless we return to our ideals. Ameri-
ca must ever be the land where the
poor man is well off.

Political Jerry Builders.

Half baked political economists
abound. They are not confined to any
particular party, but appear every
where. Unfortunately, they get the
lead in many cases and then the re-
suits are disastrous. They are like
half baked chemists. You know what
happens when these misfits get into a
chemical laboratory. They begin fool
ing with the most dangerous mixtures,
and the first thing you know there is
an explosion and the whole building is
wrecked. In all aspects of life it is
the truth that the fundamentals must
be absolutely sound or the whole SUI
perstructure is unsafe. Our Lord
shows that He knew whereof He spoke
when He declared that a house built
on the sand would be wrecked and only
a house built on the rock could with
stand trial. The land question must
be solved before you can solve any
other question. That is the basic prob
lem on which all others rest.

Where Safety Lies.

We must awake to the fact that there
is only one safe route between the At
lantic and Pacific oceans, and that is
the Nicaragua canal route, which
should be built at once. The Panama
canal can never pay as commercial
proposition, and we are living in a
FOOLS paradise when we trust our ma
val operations to the mercy of the
loose earth walls in Panama. The
Nicaragua canal will be commercial
success and assure an absolute secure
passage either way from fresh water
Lake Nicaragua to the ocean. The
only hindrance to its construction is
the Trans Continental railroad interest
that forced Panama upon us through
a toady senate.

Samson's Last Job.

The rent strike as proposed is a
blind movement that must fail in its
very nature. 1t is an attempt to de-
stroy improvements instead of mo-
nopoly. Dumb waiter ropes were cut,
wash pipes plugged and the water
turned on, causing thousands of dol
lars worth of damage in one apart
ment house. This tends to make COM
Portable living quarters more scarce
to just that extent and consequently
to force up rents instead of reducing
them. 1t only goes to show that ig-
norance is fatal to success in any I'M
dertaking and that the wise men"
who keep their "wisdOm" under a
'bushel'' with lofty contempt of the
masses" are laying up for themselves
a future Nemesis that will involve ev-
ery0ne in common ruin.
