Prospects for the construction of the section of the Washington-Atlanta highway in Chesterfield county that has not been rebuilt to conform with the other sections of this road in the state appear to be much better now. A stretch of about 30 miles in that county has been giving considerable trouble this year and efforts to get the county to reconstruct the tsretch have been without result, it is said. Yesterday Charles H. Moorefleld, state highway engineer, addressed a letter to G. W. Duvall, chairman of the Chesterfield county commission informing him of the action of the state highway commission alloting an additional $2d,000 of federal aid to be used on this road in Abe coutny. If the county matches this sura, there will be available $40,000 and this will reconstruct nearly nan or me <ju miles. If the county matches this $20,000 It is very probable that more federal aid can be procured from the new appropriation to be applied on the remaining stretch. Highway authorities and travelers are in hopes that the section in Chesterfield can be reconstructed, as it is said to be the worBt link of the highway in South Carolina. In Saluda county a four mile stretch remains to be completed and the highway commission has allotted $6,000 federal aid to this project. With $6,000 from the county this four mile stretch can be put in excellent condition, the department believes. When this section is completed the road from Columbia to Augusta will be finished and will one of the best highways in the state. Mothers Club to Hold Story Hour. Ae know the mothers in town will be interested to hear that the "Mothers Club" is to have a Story Hour for the children one Friday afternoon in each month at the School Auditorium.

In our Coton Letter of October 18th we advised everyone to margin their cotton to safe figures and hold for higher prices. January contracts in New York closed that day at 17.80. ^ The same month closed today at 19.14 ^ and we expect to set still higher figures by Tuesday. November 1st While fhe railroad striki has not been definitely settled, it is reported that not more than 25^c of the work, ers will really go out. This means w- that business will not be paralyzed, and the strike will probably be of short duration. The Ginners' Report to October 18th was published at 10 o'clock this morn ing as follows: Ginned to Oct. ISth 1921, 5,477,397 bales. 1920, 5,754,582 bales. 1919, 4.929.104 bales. 1918, 6,811,351 bales. 1917, 5,573.606 bales. 1916, 7,303,183 bales. 1915, 5,708,730 bales. 1914, 7,619,749 bales. Private estimates have been around 5,500.000 to 5,700.000 bales, and today's official figures showing only 5,477.647 bales ginned had a Bullish effect on the market. New York futures advanced sharply, closing steady, 71 to 85 points up. In view of the fact that exports, do^ mestic mill takings and all other statistics are Bullish, we feel it our duty to advise owners of cotton to hold at least a portion of their stocks for * prices above 20 cents. o ?

The people of Cberaw witnessed a beautiful church wedding at the Methodist church here on last Wednesday at six o'clock when Miss Ora Oneita Sherrill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. A.

Half way from the door to the alter an arch spanned the aisle in which swung two gates made of material which matched the trellis mentioned above.

Fire Destroys Home of B. F. Pegues. Early this (Thursday) morning Mr. B. F. Pegues lost his home and entire contents by fire. Mrs. Pegues was away on a visit and when awakened by someone outside Mr. Pegues found the house almost entirely enveloped in flames and only managed to save a trunk and some few pieces of silver. The origin of the fire is unknown but when first seen by neighbors it was burning the roof of the dining room on the opposite side of the house where Mr. Pegues was sleeping The fire department were a little slow in responding to the call and were handicapped by the pressure en. gine on the truck being out of commission. ' It was with difficulty that the house of H. W. Wannamaker on the lot adjoining was saved. , Mr. Pegues had $4000.00 insurance on his house and $1 ."00.00 on his furniture which covers only a small , part of his loss. Auction Sales a Success. On Wednesday Oct. 19th a number of small farms were offered for sale at auction by Mr. J. B. Dundy. About six farms containing a total of 35 acres were sold averaging about $200. per acre. On Tuesday of this week Mr. S. T. A. McMunus offered a number of business lots located in front of the A. C. L. freight depot at auction and sold 10 averaging $700 per lot.

CLOGGED BLOOD WITHERS THE BODY Workers Sick and Weak from Exertion Take Glide's Pepto-Mangan Men and women who toil, either . physically or mentally, use up energy. When they overwork they use up more energy, and sometimes the blood gets in a run-down condition. Without rest the blood cannot get back to normal so that it becomes clogged with waste matter from1 over-exertion. The clogged blood virtually withers the body. The strained looks on pale faces, the thin, bloodless arms, the sunken cheeks and necks, the deadtired feeling, are the results of stale blood depriving the system of lifegiving oxygen. Workers go to the drug store and get Gude's Pepto-Mangan when they feel weak and run down. They take it in either liquid or tablet form. That makes the blood rich and red and drives out tue poisons. Life-giving oxygen, carried by the little red cells,' renews the strength and builds up the entire system. Look for the name "Gude's Pepto-Mangan" on the package. Advertisement.
