AS THE EDITOR SEES IT

Some of these days we Amerl~
cans-or our scendantS-are
going to see the greatest curiosity
OF all time, a politician who makes
good on his campaign promises.
Just now there is no sucn AMI
nal. There never was one. 1t is
not in the nature OF things that
there should be one-under pres
ent conditions.
Promises Just ooze off from an
electioneering tongue like thin
molasses qurgling out of an open
bunghole. And, like molasses,
they keep right on oozing out
until the hole is plugged up py
election or defeat: -
And yet We can't navigate tne
turbulent sea of lie without. our
politicians, especially those Oh the
professional breed.
Bunk is soothing to the dis
turbed mind, and there is no one
who can hand it out as scientific
ally and as smoothly as polltlc--
ian. We have to be hoodWlnked
md caioled and bamphoozled
about so often or we would think
the country was on oiled sklds
and readed for the everlasting
boW-WoIYS
And right there is where our
dear old politicians get In their
glorious work. After listening, to
their glowing promises for 1--WE
minutes we see millions and other
enticing wonder ahead. end TINS
enthuses us and spurs rs on TO
the performance OF real con
sI-uctlya work of our own. Thus
We see the politician as ne
cessity and national asset.
Nobody expects a politician TO
keep his promises. 1t cant pe
done. They are made to fit the
various sections of his district IN
which he hands them out, and no
two sections want the same thing
and in the same manner.
It is the political duty of every
voter to forget election promises
as soon as the returns are count-
ed. To insist upon their fulfill,
r1ent would create dlscord
throughout the state and nation.
ANY poor boob can be polite
ian. It doesn't require any brains
Just an unlimited amount of
bunk and the ability to smear il
on and make it stick.
Yes. we or our descendants
will some day see a politician who
makes good on his campaign
promises.
But perhaps he won't be real
bona fide politician-iust mere
man instead.
We live in hopes.

K. c. JOHNSON TO PROFIT
BY EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS

Mr.. K. c. Johnson, of Middendorf,
called at The Advertiser office ON
tuesday, and as is usual of late, the
conversation turned to the boil wee
vii. MIR. Johnson said his section and
his farm in particular, felt the weevil
last year
When asked what he was going to
do about it this year ne replied that
he was doing his best to profit by the
experience of cotton growers who
have been fighting the wevil for sv-
raj years and are succeeding. He said
this year he is planting about eight
acres of cotton to the plow. That he
planned to fertilize it heavily, using
soda literally and by other intensive
methods hoped to get fair crop of
cotton before the boil weevil got busy.
Mr.. Johnson is the first farmer we
have talked. to on the subpject who
already had his mind made up. Mr..
johnson is not planning any costly
new experiments and ne is not fool
ing himself that the boil weevil is not
serious proposition. The method he
speaks of has made farmers in boil
weevil infested sections wealthy in
spite OF the pest. II is the method that
will win out here also.
This paper would like to hear from
others who are really planning along
similar lines.

MR.. w. HI. PORTER

A pail of sadness was cast over
Chesterfield last Sunday when 1t be.
came known that Mr.. w. H. Potter
had passed away. He had suffered a
stroke of appoplexy Thursday morn
ing and his condition remained grave
until the end came at 10 o'clock Sat
urday night.
Funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. L. E. Peeler and the body
was laid to rest in the Chesterfield
Cemetery Monday afternoon, where
a large concourse of people gathered
to show their love and esteem for
their friend and neighbor.
Mr.. Porter was forty-two years Of

daughter, Miss Elizabeth; four SIS
ters, Mrs. Henry Gibson, of Mt.

Mr.. Porter came to Chesterfield
from Pageland about seventeen years
ago. He was a successful livestock
dealer and built up fine business. He
became known far and wide as gen
erous, big-hearted and lover of

The profoundest sympathy is felt
for his widow and children in their
bereavement.
