WOODMAN, SPARE THAT TREE

"Cheraw, Oct. 27.?Cheraw's town
council has a war on its hands. 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. Who is to..Wamel Tbe^e 1b
