Action was taken condemning the inid cue row 01 oia snaae trees on all tne street to accomodate the water and sewer pipes that are now being put down, and ordering their removal and ordering also the removal of telephone and telegraph poles to the sides of the streets. No one is much concerned about the poles, but when it comes to the trees. which are the chief charm of Cheraw, town council touched a live wire. This action seems to have ^ been carried through with closed doors. At least no one on the street knew of it until it was "cut and dry." But when it became known, the Civic \ league, which has charge of the streets, rose in richeous indignation. The claim was made that the league \ . had given its consent, but not an offl) cer of the league knew it. Why the ( action was taken no one can conceive. as the Btreets are 100 feet wide. A special meeting of the league was held yesterday afternoon, when a committee was appointed to confer with the authorities on the subject. A truce of one week has been granted for investigation, and if found unnecessary to remove the trees, the league, it is said, will prevent it by an appeal to the citizens or by injunction, it seems cruel to ruin the beautiful face of Cheraw by such a blow." The above is taken from Monday's issue of The Columbia State, not for the purpose of condemning or commending the correspondent, but in >? flfl.'uimfl', ater bow others than the editor of The / Chronicle looks at the matter. m Some people in Cheraw seems to a think that criticisms of The Chronicle ?*r are personal vagaries; the fact, how ever, is that The Chronicle's suggestions and crticisms are read by practically everybody in town, while the criticisms and suggestions by others are probably heard by very few. " Could our city authorities and others hear the criticisms' that are made by other citizens of the town as well and as clearly as they can read those of The Chronicle, there would be some "setting up" and probably more t , "taking notice." But to revert to the question: / No one can blame t'.".c lati'es of the C " Civic League for condemning the ac\ tion of the Council, for the very simple reason that when the League was organized the Council put the trees ' their charge, agreeing that they should look to their welfare .etc. They have spent many days on the streets seeing to the removal of dead trees, and dead limbs from trees, and the putting out of new trees. This all at considerable expense and loss of time. Now comes Council and gives consent for the removal of every tree, not only In the center of every street but every tree that will come in a radius of twenty five feet or the center of . the streets, and all without even consulting with the Ladies of the League. And, too, knowing how jealous the ctiizens of Cheraw were of their trees, without consulting any of the citizens so far as The Chronicle 1 can learn. Heretofore it has been the custom of Cheraw's city fathers to a refer all matters of much import and innovations to a mass meeting of the citizens. It certainly was not done in this case. Council says, we are Informed, that the board of public works aBks for Authority to remove the trees on ac count of the sewer pipes to be put in, because their engineer says the root* '?f the elm trees will ruin the pipes Now, this may be true, we do not Itnow; there are quite a number of eitisens, however, who object to the trees being remctved until it Is definitely ascertained that such will be .. " PMO cue. ii expert testimony can be secured that the sewer pipes will be | . ruined by the roots of the trees, then The Chronicle is satisfied there wiP be no "railing," however sad it may | ' , / make some of us feel to see the trees M' It begins to look', from reports In the dally press, as If the OreekB, Ron| raanlans, Montenlgrlns and Servians have gotten the terrible Turks up against a wall. It Is about time now for the Christian nations to come to the rescue of the Infidel Turk. The Chronicle wishes to thank the authorities for the removal of some of the trash complained of at and near the Corner of Market and Front streets. We were promised that it should be removed before last Thursday but for some reason it was still there Friday morning- But some ol it has been removed. Now if somebody would get busy and remove the balance of the trash. Jamaica Ginger, 95 per cent pure alcohol, so labeled, is being sold in r. number of places in this city and several drunks have resulted from its use. Wo understand that some oi the town authorities are of the opinion that it is up to the board of health to put a stop to the sale of this slightly doctored whiskey. If it is "up to the board of health" won't the board of health please get busy? The Chronicle's attention has been called to the great number of trees all over the town that are dead and that are now beyond any hope of being saved, caused by the pernicious habit of hitching horses to them. This probably was done as a sort of reflection on The Chronicle for its stand in the matter of the removal of the center row of trees all over the town?the remark being made that "Just as well get rid of 'em all at one time as to allow them to be killed a few at a time." The Chronicle was well aWare of the fact that beautiful and valuable trees had been killed and that others were being killed by this habit, but our friend's "rocks" did not hit us. For sixteen years we have been constantly, in season and out of season, calling attention to the fact, but ifo one took any notice of our complaint j and the result Is as stated.
