The editor of THE INDEPEND-
ENT probably will have to plead
guilty TO not having published much
stuff Of peculiar interest to Cx-Ser-
vice men. This has not been thru
any prejudice against any cause Of
the ex-seryice men, but largely be-
cause this newspaper has never dis
covered the interest Of ex-SCrYicc
men in Elizabeth City and surround
ing country. 1t is said that there is
a post Of The American Legion in
Elizabeth City, and this newspaper
has printed some things about it, but
this newspaper has never observed
any activity upon the part of the
American Legion in THE city or been
approached by any publicity commit
teeman from the local Post.
This newspaper has kept silent on
the question of the Soldier Bonus
because it is not convinced Of the
good of such q measure. Real pa
triotg who fought in the late fool
war believing that they we're fight
ing solely for the good Of humanity
have their reward in the conscious
ness of q patriotic duty performed
cheerfully and with valor. Those
who demand a price for their service
will eventually get it. The people
will be paying taxes for pensions to
soldiers of the late war and their
widows aud orphans for the next
hundred gears, just as they are still
paving out millions annually TO the
survivors Of those who fought and
those who pretended to fight in the
Civil War. War leaves behind it an
army of graftcrS who bleed their
government for pensions decades al
ter everybody has forgotten what the
war was about. That is the damn
able thing about war.
This newspaper is in hearty SYM
pathy with any righteous cause of
the ex-service men, as it is interest
ed in every human cause. The files
of this newspaper attest the friend
liness of this newspaper to every
man who enlisted in or was con-
scripted for the World War. The col
umns of this newspape are open to
ex-service men to advance their
views for or against anything under
the sun, regardless of the editors
opinion about anything. If THE IN
DEPENDENT is neglectiDg the pub
lication of news concerning cX-ser-
vice men and their affairs, it will be
glad to have concrete instances
pointed out and to try to make
amends, Fhh

THE WOODROW WILSON
FOUNDATION
To Honor a Great american

The Foundation is created by pub
lie subscription in recognition of the
great national and international Ser
vice of Woodrow Wilson who favored
the cause of human freedom for man.
kind throughout the world.
The income from the proposed one
million dollar foundation will be Civ
en- to the person or persons rendering,
within specified period, meritorious
service to democracy, public welfare,
liberal thought or peace through JUS
tice.
1t was Woodrow Wilson who focus
ed the diverse ideals of the war on the
one ideal of pure Americ anism, which
is democracy. 1t was Wo drow Wilson
who first drove the wedge between
the Hohenzollerns and the German
people. Autocracy began to totter.
1t was Woodrow Wilson who first
enunciated the basis Of peace. His
fourteen points won the war. The
people had been fighting for three
years. No government had publicly
proclaimed the aims for which it was
asking it's people to die. The people
were getting restive. But for Wilson'S
stand the allies might have lost the
war.
Mr.. Samuel Gompers was invited
to go to England and France to con-
fer with labor leaders in those coun-
tries. He said: 81 do not think,
know, that had not Woodrow Wilson
proclaimed the aims of the war when
he did, there would have been revolu-
tions in England and France in the
early part of 1915"
The drive for Chesterfield county's
quota for this fund is on. Every one
should consider it privilege to con-
tribute something to honor the name
of the president who has done more
for the prosperity OF the South than
any president before him. The
amount for the town of Chesterfield is
$4,000 this and more will be easy to
raise for the honor Of the county.
Chesterfield has never fallen down on
what it should do Mrs + b. Sanders
is chairman for the town. Hand her
your contribution and cooperate with
her in raising the balance.

GOOD MEETING OF
COUNTY COUNCIL

A good meeting of the Chester
field County Council of Home DEM
onsration Clubs was held in the court
house last Tuesday.
The meeting was called by Miss
Mary C. Haynie, home demonstration
agent. A satisfactory number of in
terested ladies were present.
Mrs. Dora Dee Walker, state agent,
gave demonstrations in the making
of jellies and jams, using canned
goods as raw materials.
Mrs. S. o. Plowden, district agent,
also made an interesting talk.
Senator Laney in very happy vein
addressed the ladies.
The South Carolina Home Produce
Association is the name of the or
ganization through which the club
girls may market their surplus pro-
ducts. Just now the association has on
hand contracts for jellies and jams,
therefore the demonstration in pre-
pairing these articles in marketable
shape.
This a association will doubtless be
able to handle the entire surplus of

Laney was so strongly urged that he
has decided to make the race, and he
is in to the finish. Senator Laney has
been in public life for many years
and is recognized as a level-headed
and forceful leader. He has been
conspicuous in his advocacy of the
common schools and is the author
of the original plan of State aid to
the weaker schools of the State, a
plan that has grown wonderfully.
He was member of the committee
that framed what is known as the
Marion tax report, that was largely
responsible for the first recent at
tempt to modify the tax system. Sena-
tor Laney is a lawyer by profession,
farmer on the side. going from the
farm to the University of South Caro-
lima. He will be heard from as a decid-
ed factor in the approaching cam

A COOPERATIVE GUERNSEY
BULL ASSOCIATION
By Clarence J. Terrell

Growing out of the work now being
done to secure "better sires' in Ches
terfield county, and the interest being
shown, the county has a wonderful
opportunity to forge ahead as uni
fed dairy county in it's chosen
breed-Guernsey, by the formation
of cooperative Guernsey bull asso-
citation.
1t is remarkably significant that so
much interest is being shown and
farmers everywhere are realizing,
while time is opportune the necessity
for better livestock, diversifcation,
and the necessity of unified and CO.
operative effort. If present plans on
the part of representatives of Glenn
son College and the United States
Department of Agriculture, co-opera-
ting with county agent, w. j. Tiller
work out, eight or ten we'll bred
Guernsey bulls will be placed at va
rious points in the county. These ami
mails will be representatives of the
best blood of the breed with guaran-
teed production backing them. They
will be animals that will be in the
reach of hundreds of farmers in the
county and such that no average far
mer could afford to purchase except
by cooperative effort. The bull as
sociation plan is economical, in fact,
the most economical plan that can be
devised, being even more economical
to participate in the association than
in divided ownership of the worst
kind of scrub; and the most laudable
part is that farmers of this county are
awake to better breeding, conserva-
tion of the best native stock and
building it up by this plan of CO.
operation.
What does it mean for the future?
1t means unified effort of the county
toward one breed. 1t means the quick
est and most economical plan of up
building. 1t means in only four years
possession of the equal and approxi-
mately Is carloads of high class grade
now imported from some northern
markets, to say nothing of the pure
bred animals that will be used. 1t
means Chesterfield county standing
out in the Guernsey world as Guern-
sey county; and last, but not least,
it means spirit of cooperation is be-
ing developed-the future protection
of American farmers.
AS strictly business proposition
farmers should look into this plan,
who have not had the opportunity al
ready. If heifer calf from one of
the old scrub cows and one of these
high class bulls is worth in cash money
twenty to thirty dollars more than
one from scrub bull, or pure bred
bull backed by no production rec
aors, then II is worth while; and the
sooner farmers start building up by
the use of better sires, just so will
they have more valuable livestock.
And farmers of the South are learn
ing that livestock is just as much a
partner of cotton as partner of corn
and wheat in the North.

WASHINGTON COMMENT

An hysterical, vain and silly girl in
Maine made absurd charges against a
minister, known far and wide for his
services to the community and mis-
good works. The girl was believed,
the minister ostracised by the COM
munity to such an extent that he shot
and killed himself. The girl then
confessed her accusation was bascless
and the man Innocent, whereupon the
community-it must he a nice place
to live-condemns the girl.
If the community would condemn
itself for intolerance, scandal-monger-
ing and total failure of loyalty, it
would be more to the point Strange
that minister of the gospel, with his
years of experience, could not realize
that those who condemned him with
out evidence were out of their own
mouths condemned; that when people
believe evil without proof, it is be-
cause, under similar circumstances,
they would themselves have been evil
Peace hath her victories-and from
abroad comes clarion note of one of
them The dreaded disease anthrax
seems at last to have been conquered.
DR.. Alfred Dinsley, we'll known bac-
teriologist of Liverpool, claims that
the use of certain of the shorter wave
lengths of light kills anthrax germs in
hides and wool as no disinfectant can
possibly kill them.
Here is where the peace victory ar
rives upon the scene. The apparatus
which kills the anthrax germs, so pow
erful that it's penetrating rays pass
through bales of hides and wool eight
teet thick, is projection device
which was designed originally for
quite another sort of killing; a search
light of death-dealing rays. something
like X.rays in their nature, but far
more murderous to human beings.
The world is sick of war between
man and man. War between mar.
and beast is nearly over, but war be-
tween man and disease, man and
germs, man and the infinitely little, in
finitely powerful organisms which de-
stroy his own, is but begun. That
terrible weapon of war, untried on
the battle field, but potential killer
OF battalions, can find peaceful use
in saving lives by destroying disease
germs is matter of congratulation
to world which is scrapping many an
engine of war with no other result
than increasing the size of the junk
pile.
