Demonstrator W. J, Tiller was
here yesterday with a proposi
tion to furnish tin cans to the
people of this county. Cans
can not be had now except
through government agencies.'
and this is die opportunity for
this county to get a supply for
the summer. Cans can not be
had in quantities less than car
loads, and E. W. Duvall has
agreed to handle half the car at
Cheraw and Chesterfield if the
people in the other sections will
take the other half. Mr. Tiller
reported that he met with right
good success at Ruby and Mt.
Croghan. He was going to Jefferson,
McBee and Patrick after
he left here. A meeting has
been called here at the Masonic
hall for 10 o'clock today to con
sider the matter of organizing a
canning association and using
ten or fifteen thousand of these
cans. The proposition is for
the merchants and others who
can to buy the cans and furnish
them to farmers and canners to
be filled and paid for in canned <
goods. It is hoped that an enthusiastic
meeting may be held.
Mr. A. H. Mangum and J. A.
Turner will probably submit a
proposition at this meeting.
This covornment nliin is ih<? .
only way cans may be secured.1

Mr. J. L. Griggs, who recently i<
enlisted in the navy, writes The
Journal that he has been assign- (

postmaster at New York. <
Messrs. D. J. Everett and G. r
W Ganti of Wadesboro have invented
a device to protect ships
from submarine attact. They j
recently carried a model ^
and drawing to Washington
and explained it to the proper
authoiities. It was pronounced
the best thing in its line the
authorities had seen. The in 1
vention is a double net device J
which is fastened to the ship to 1
be protected. There will be t
twn rnwc r?f not on onnVi ^t

ship. The rows will be several ,
feet apart and the nearest one
will be several feet from the
side of the ship. The ship will
be protected for its full length
on each side, and the net will '
1
extend down the depth of the 1
ship. It is believed that it
would be impossible for a ship
properly equipped with this de
vice to be torpedoed. Mr. ]
Everett estimates that a ship
equipped with this device will
be compelled to reduce its cargo
only one-fourth of 1 per cent to
make its ordinary speed. Every
one who has seen a model of
this invention, or has heard it ]
demonstrated, has faith that it i
will be most effective in com
bating submarines.
The district meeting of the
Junior Order of Cnesterfield

Paul T. Wood, G. K. Lamy, i
and P. A. Murray, Jr. of Chesterfield.
Rev. J. W. Elkins of i
P'-igelanu. The public is invited i
to attend this meeting and learn
more of the attitude of the <
Junior Order toward the public

Out in Kansas they have a l
surplus of the most convincing t
prohibition literature, says the t
Editor and Publisher. It seems \
a farmer got more of this in his
mail than he could digest, so he 1
took an armful out in the field t
back of the barn and dumped it. I:
Up walked a fine Ilolestine cow
and ate it, and the next morn ii
ing she went dry. This is what
we designate in advertising as I]
