Warehouse Commissioner
John L. McLaurin has evolved
a plan for checking the advance
of the boll weevil at the Savannah
river and thus hindering or
preventing its coming into the
Carolinas. His plan is to utilize
the river as a natural barrier and
to strengthen this by a 20-mile
strip on this side of the river in
which no cotton would be al
lowed to be grown. He has
studied the cotton situation in
this Stale as no other man per
haps, and he is recognized as
authority on matters pertaining
to welfare of the cotton farmer.
On the face his plan appears
feasible. We see .no good reason
why this should not be done.
Partridges and other birds destroy
millions of insects, and the
birds are the farmers best friends.
Most farmers are coming to
realize this, and very few farmers
are willing for their birds to
be killed. With the idea of protecting
the birds and in this way
preparing for the coming of the
boll weevil a movement has
been started to get just as many
citizens of Chesterfield countv
as possible to sign an agreement
not to kill any more birds this
year or next. In another place
in this paper may be found
a list of those who have signed
at Pageland. The same agreement
is being signed in otner
parts of the county. A copy of
this agreement will be kept at
this office, and any others who
.... F>
Oi > ?je cOvhty should
cirrn it Th/\r/\ ?/% %
. at i ucic aic j|iiciii,y ui
vavs in which the people may
lind amusement without killing
i he birds. It would be well for
the legislature to pass a bill ma
King it unlawful to kill birds at
any. season for a few years.
Come and signs the agreement.
? Agreement
We. the undersigned land owners
and tax payers of Chesterli
dd County, agree that we will
k ill no birds of any description
during the balance of 1916 and
during the year 1917. especially
q tail of all kinds, as we wish to
p.epare for the invasion of the
b >11 weevil.
Let a copy of this agreement
b ; published in all of the county
P pers and and a copy sent to
tke State, which will notice to
a'I persons to stay off any of the
1. ids which belong to the tin
d< rsigned or within their con
trol, as any violation will be
punished according to the law.

Such Langwidge M
I asked an Italian who speaks
correct English, which language
his children learned to write ei
more readily, Italian or English. D]
"Italian," said he. "Your English
words don't sound the way
they look." ai
To show what this poor man ?s
had in mind, I shall quote some *e
suggestions given to me by one 111
of the most famous scholars, aJ
philosophers and professional m
men in America. They show ff
what a curlicue language English
is: b'
Put it vice versa, and if laugh *
ter is lafter, whv is not daughter *
dafter and slaughter slafter? *r
Enough is enuff, but cough is CI
not cuff. However, if cough is ^
cawf, shouldn't enough be
enawf? w
riougn is pronounced plow
and bough is bow, but cough is O
not cow. c*
Moreover, a little Italian hi
knowing that cough is pro 01
nounced coff, is liable to spell
the cup of morning beverage in
cough phee. e<

John. W. Quick, Pastor
The setting apart of a day
when the wheels of trade are aj
stopped, and Sabbath rest is aj
planted right in the midst of the Sg
secular week, and when a grateful
nation is called to otfer up jj,
prayer and praise to Almighty ^
God for his unfailing bounties, ^
is a beautiful custom. It stamps w
us as christian people, The nat- q
ural thing ought to be that those
.?paejaUy who- lova God should -y
gladly accept this gracious oppoitunitv
to gather in their l(
churches in large numbers, and ^
unite in songs of praise and t(
prayers of Thanksgiving. ai
There will be preaching at ^
Rose Hill Thursday, Thanks- q
giving Day at 3:30 p. m. Every- ^
body requested to attend. Ev
ery one who attends will receive e
a Thanksgiving souvenir. Be

[r. Sowell Write* of Cards and
Likker
I want space in your paper to
cpress mv gratitude to the peole
who have heartily encourag1
me by letter, telephone, words
id through the columns in reird
to my good deed done a
:w days ago. I have been
lade to feel stronger bv the act
id encouragement from so
[any good people. Christian
iends let us encourage every
x)d deed pertaining to the up
jilding of Gods blessed cause
id Kingdom here in this world,
want to sav here truthfully,
om my heart, God is mv saed
judge, I am not doing any
ling at all for notoriety. I do
1 the good I can in every way
hile here on earth. I live to
le honor and glory of the dear
ne who on the rugged cross of i
ilvary did shed every drop of
is precious blood to redeem 1
ur souls from an endless Hell.
Now if there is another place
uur iuwii mai nas uninougnt
ily placed decks of cards in
leir stores for sale, which has
?en the cause of so many
;aths and wrecked minds of so
anv young people throughout
jr land, I say I will,-upon noce
that you will let me have
ime and not handle any more,
iadly relieve you of them,
riends vou will never feel the
>ss of profits on them, and God
ill smile down from Heaven's
x>r upon you and me stamping
jt the de\working tools,
hich I consider a deck of cards
be.
Now I don't mean any reflecon
on the part} I purchased
om, for I take him to be as
3od a little man as Pageland
iords, but who unthoughtedly,
5 so many do, placed them for
ile.
Let us strive to have a decent
ttle town. God will help us, ;
nd I trust it will not be long
tat there will not be a drop ot
hiskev shipped into our State,
ounty and Town, nor a drop
e allowed to be sold in .riysq
mted Stales ot ours.
I consider Cards and Whiskey
> be two of the vilest tools
'hich the old devil has in his
>ol chest, which cause thous
nds, ves millions of precious
uman beings who are made in
lod's own image 1c stumble.
tm I right? If so, sav "Amen."
Be with us in our Wednesday
vening praver meetings.

success?" inquired Gladys.
"It certainly was," responded
Mabel with enthusiasm. "The
minister will sufelv have cause
to be verv grateful."
"How much did vou make?"
"Oh the expenses were a good
bit more than the receipts. But,
then, ten of us got engaged, so

thing in wedding fees a little
