B. Watts and J. J. Terry to spend most of their time in the shade. Township bond issues for "Good Roads" will give employment at "laying by time" to hundreds of Chesterfield folks who, according to their own statements, "sure do need the dough. Mr. E. S.

Agerton, township road commissioner for Old Store township, asks us to explain to the people of this township that the road tax must be spent on the road where the tax is paid. He says that in some sections of the township nearly every man has his tax, while in other /.vsec^^^haidly any have paid. He spending the road /ioin whei^^H^noney came. If he is doiifl^mat, it's fair isn't it? The treasurer of the Pageland council of the Junior Order re ceived a check Monday for $500 for Mrs. R. E. Knight, whose husband died a few days ago, he being a member of the order. This amount comes in a good time and will be of much help to Mrs. Knight and children.

The fire started in a bed room while the family was at breakfast and gained such headway before it was discovered that practically nothing was saved. There was no insurance on either building or contents. Mr. Jordan and family are hardworking people and they deserve the help' that neighbors " An infant of Mr. and Mrs. M. 1 V. Rivers, of the Hopewell J community, died Sunday and was buried at Hopewell Mon- g day, services being conducted by Rev. B. S. Funderbutg. p Mr. James Medlin, a farmer I living a mile south of town, sent to this office yesterday two eggs, a one of which weighed 3 ounces and the other 4.

L. Rodgers saw * them from his home near the track and ran and mounted one ] of them. It is downhill all the way to Crowburk and the roadbed is in poor condition. The cars would have been dumped I mio me mud somewhere clown the road, and Mr. Rodders was * taking a great risk when he mounted one and began pulling brakes. Hi? efforts, cessful and he soon troughs the ^ cars to a standstill, and thus \ saved the road many dollars. " He deserves a pass. Personals Miss Etta Ogburn is spending a week in Cheraw. Mr. R. L.
