There is a chewing-gum slot- i
machine in the waitin-room at i
the Seaboard Air Line d^pot im I
Cheraw that is. either out of fix I
or has no gum in it, and should
be removed. We deposited two
cents in it Saturday night and
got no gum. Of course, two 1
cents is a small amount, as for i
that matter, but the machine i
should be looked after carefully j
or it will become a public im- i
position.?Chesterfield AdVerti- j
