If everybody in Cheraw was as ready to push and pull for Cheraw as Mr. William Godfrey is, what a town we would have in a little while. Better mind how you sell cotton contracts this year. You might get into trouble. Read the decision on this kind of trancastion in another column by the supreme court. Fighting continues in Mexico. The revolutionists have captured Juar?z, and have set up there their provisional capital. Here's wishing them success in their efforts to rid their country of Diazisra. Greensboro, N. C., is the first city to make use of the recall provision of the commission charter. The newmsi commission elected a chief of polce in secret and the citizens will recall the election of the commission because the law forbid the election of officers in secret. We like the commission government better than we thought we did. A person does not realize its possibilities until be sees them put to use in away that makes him envious.

S* c .?* n Corn in abundant quanilti?s means food for man and beast: it means I hogs and cattle and mules; it means better roads, better schools, more people and better farmers; 't means that our people have lai daside Jid mcth|ods and have begun to take care of ;the land and build up the South l.et ! the influence then of every one be i used toward trying to get a bef*.or ' acreage in corn this year. At the board of trade meeting the other night, speaking of the condition of the new "Ferry Lane" or river road just across the river in Marlboro coun.ty, Warden Smith made the remark that if some work was not done 011 this road pretty soon it would soon be in as bad condition as some of Cheraw's streets. Let us hope, for the good of those who have to use that 'road that "some work" will be done jon it very speedily. I The board of trade at its meeting last week "took notice" of the condition of the streets of the town and adopted a resolution, at the repuest of Warden J. D. Smith, to the effect that "the town council be requested to use the split log d'ags AFTER RAINS, and not during dry weather as has been done heretofore^ Try! this suggestion, gentlemen of the council, and lets have the best streets of any town in the State. Some of the enterprising citizens of Cheraw are anxious to see Cheraw maintain a free public library. Pub-, lie libraries are all right in their timeand place, but a lot of new enterpris- j [es for Cheraw just now would be bet-' ter than a free publiclibrary. Whatj this town needs is more employment I for men. This is not the time to talk; up a public library for this town. It! is likely, of course, that The Chron-1 icle will be called a "knocker" fori prefering business enterprises to a | free public library, but then, there are! some who are always knocking at the \ knocker, so one is about on a por with ! the other?both have their good and! bad points. \ ig Out ( High G chief causes of high he size or the numb* u is a plan in your b Shoes are Sold D arer at Cost Plu i and the Lov 11 good shoes have been ' and so on.

The ladles of the Civic League are doing good work in the cleaning up of the filth and trash in the town, and while they are pushing this work, why can't all good citizens join in and clean up the town morally, by driving out all evil dens; drive out the blind tigers, drive out the gambling dens and every other den that should not exist in a civilized community. Another "dream" dissipated;?no electric power from Elewett's Falls for Cheraw. * Col. C. E. Johnson, of Raleigh, N. C., president cf the company, announces that of the 50,000 J electric horse power to be generated, all but about 10,000 horse power will be used in the mills and other industries of Rockingham?the other 10,000 horse power will be carried to Raleigh. I Governor Blease is opposed to one man holding two offices, has denounced the practice, in fact has requested the attorney general to bring action against some of the parties, among them Senator Tillman, and yet in the face of this fact, now comes the governor and appoints a professor of the South Carolina university as state geologist. There are two nice salaries attached in this case, as well as two offices?$1,900 as professor in the university, and $1,500 as state geologist. ' The Chronicle is nearing its 16th birthday and is th eonly paper published in Che-aw. It has stood for Cheraw all these years and will continue to do so to the best of its ability. The Chronicle lia3 made mte|- ( takes, we know, but they were errors of judgment and not of the heart. We ask the support of the people of Che-, raw for the good of Cheraw?with the' hearty co-operation of our business men by way of advertising and oth-' erwise, we will bend our efforts morej strongly if it is possible, towards giving the town a better paper.

The little force pump on Second street was put to good service last Saturday by some of our "advanced' merchmants, to the great benefit ol merchants, pedestrians and users ol vehicles?a piece of hose was attached to the pump and the street for about 'one hundred feet was thoroughl} |sprinkled. . Force pumps might be placed on Market street in place ol the little pitcher pumps now doing service there, and by using a hose ol [sufficient length the entire streel from Second to Front streets could I be sprinkled on dry days. What saj jthe city council to such an arrangement? Saved Child lrum l)eath. "After our child .lad suffered from severe bronchial trouble for a year,' wrote G. T, Richardson, ot Richardson's Mills, Ala., "we feared it had consumption. It hud a bad cough all thp time We tael manv remedies without avail, and doctor's medicines seemed as useless. Finally we tried Dr. King's New Discovery, and art pleeased to say that one bottle effected a complete cure, and our child is again strong and healthy." For coughs and colds, hoarseness, lagrippe, asthma, croup and sore lungs, its the mosl infalible remedy that's made. Hdce 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by Theo. E.
