THE DIVIDING LINE

Since the recent discussion began

shown by the opposition has created
the impression in some quarters that
Chesterfield is hopelessly backward
and that there is no hope for furth-
er progress.
This is an erroneous idea. Chester

with problem as old as the human
race. 1t exists wherever ther is q
group of people. 1t is the old old fight
between forces of progress and those
making for stagnation.
1t matters not what the issue, if it
be of progressive nature dividing
line will quickly develop in any town
or community. Some will fight for it
and some against it. The great Ralph
Waldo Emerson, physician and phil
osopher, said this dividing line among
people is due to the condition of the

AMBER VS. WATER.WORKS

1t has been said that a man who car

ship in the Chesterfield Amber Brig
ade, that his privileges are so abrdg
ed that he is not allowed to spit on
the sidewalk in summer time, nor or
hot stove in the winer.
A real good splitter, with grinders
going full speed ahead and force
pump in good order can work havoc
with a twenty-five cent plug.
What has that to do with water
works? Nothing much.
But it is suggestive. Ten cents a
day for the privilege of spattering up
the sidewalk, equals $3.50 a year.
If man has or has not that much
money to spent Cor that purpose it is
none of our business-but
A whole lot of people are yelling
like bloody murder about an increase
of taxes for water-works and sew
erage when their increase in taxation
could not amount to their bill for
chewing.
1t leads US to the conclusion, ladies
and gentlemen, that lot of this ca
lamity bowling is not sincere.
These thoughts are not intended as
n criticism on any mans personal pri-
vileges, but the consideration of them
ought to have some weight with those
new voters who are going to vote as
they see fit.
One man recently stated that he
threw away on tobacco, soft drinks
and chewing gum about $4,000 an
nually. 1t is doubtful if any man in
town will be required to pay that
much increase in taxes on account of
proposed improvements.
Now set over against each other the
benefits derived from these two
classes Of expenditures and decide if

matter, and leave it to the courts to
decide.
We are not in position to speak for
the women of South Carolina, or
Georgia, either for that matter, but
we venture the opinion that the same
reasons which led the women to ask
for the ballot, will influence them also
to be willing, and lin many instances,
eager to serve on the juries.
There are so many things which a
jury has to decide which are of par
ticular interest to women and which
we believe they will wish to have a
voice in deciding, and after all, there
seems to be no real reason, except
in special cases which could be easily
handled, why women should not serve
on juries.
In matters of investigation especial
ly, they would be well fitted, and in
reply to the charge that they hack the
judicial temperament, some of the
fair sex have already limited that ju-
ries composed of altogether men have
| been known to be lacking in that
very desirable characteristic, when the
plaintiff was OF the Cleopatra type.
Any way we feel quite safe in prophe-
sying that women will serve on the
jury, if they want to, and feel that it
is their duty to do so.
The third measure, which was in
troduced by Representative Sapp, of
Richland county, raises the age of
consent from Ia to 16 years in South
Carolina. This is splendid piece of
legislation. Georgia has only recently
redeemed herself in the eyes of the
country, for having such low age of
consent law, and now South Carolina
does still better. 1t marks step for
ward and we congratulate the legis-
lature of that state for such a con-
structive step.-The Augusta Chroni-
Gle.
