A BI6 TEMPEST IN A UTTLE TEAFOT CITY OPERA HdUSE SAFE. After a Thorongh Inspection, Cltj Council Pronounces City Opera Honse Safe. For the past week or two reports have been In circulation all over town that the city Opera House (town hall) was liable to collapse at any moment, having been blown out of plumb by the little cyclone that passed over the southeastern portion of the town on the 15th day of March. The facts are that this little cyclone did not even enter the town proper, coming no way near the Opera House, but the reports were gaining such momentum and so many of our people were asking question* that the matter was brought to the attention of the Mayor, who said that in his opinibn, the reports were false and that he believed the building was perfectly safe. This did not seem to satisfy some of the people and in view of the fact that it was intended to hold the " closing exercises of the Cheraw graded school in the buildings and that on such occasion the building is always filled to its utmost capacity, Mr. R. T. Caston, chairman of the board of trustees, in behalf of the scholars and all others interested, thought it best to bring the matter to a focus, therefore he has addressed the following letter to the town council: May 22nd, 1912. To the Honorable Town Council of the Town of Cheraw. Gentleman: As Chairman of Board of School Trustees, I have been told toy reliab|e person*, theft some of the citizens of the town thiuk the Town Ha)l unsafe, tand as the school propones to hold nuhllc axarrlao* in " MeBllh-tTCTnarhg on ^tbe 30th instant, please let me know if this building Is considered safe for the purpose indicated. Very respectfully, R. P. CASTON, nhalmmn ? ? ui ovuuui coara. On receipt of this letter the Mayor called the council together and steps 9 we re taken to thoroughly examine the hall. After a thorough examination the clerk of council was directed to make reply to Mr. Casfon as follows: 1 of the surprises of the pre-conventlon May 23rd. 1912. Mr. R. T. Caston, Chairman of School Board, Cheraw, S. C. Dear Sir: % Replying to your letter of the 22nd. instant, addressed to the Mayof* and Town Council of Cheraw in regard to the safety of the Town Hall, I have been directed to say to you that after meeting the Mayor and Council and discussing the subject they have pronounced the hall entirely safe for the purpose for which the school wishes to use same. \ Yours very truly, D. L. TILLMAN, Clerk. The worst mistake one is likely to make In painting Is wrong na'.nt; it Is easy to make this year when paint is sp high. 1 We all aay "Ours 1b the beet"; and there are 1,000 of us. One Is best; but a dozen are so ne^r on a level that no one knows, for sure, that his Is the one. The worst paints are worst liars; they know what they are, put-on a bold face, and brazen it out. -s?. Their one true argument is low price; but low-price paint is always, .must be, a fraud; it is made to cheat cheatable people. . DEVOE. Ladd's Drug Store sells it.

On Saturday last a meeting was held in the rooms of Ohiquola Club at which Dr. Fahie. of the bureau of animal industry, Washington, D, C., and Dr. Burleigh, of Cletnson college, addressed those present on the subject of "Cattle Tick Eradication." These gentlemen were thoroughly conversant with the subject and after discussion the Chesterfield! Cbunty Live Stock association was organized with 22 enthusiastic members, the object of the association being the improvement of the live stock of the county. The first work of the association will be directed along the lines of the eradication of the cattle tick pest, which is sail! be the greatest curse which cattio owners of the South now have to contend with. While the cattle stick is a great curse to cattle owners, according to the gentlemen who addressed the meeting here in Cheraw, the getting rid of the curse is so simple and the benefits so great that there is very little doubt but that Chesterfield couny will soon be rid of the pest and will therefore be able to ahip her cattle to any market in the United States. Any one int sted can secure full information by writing to the Chesterfield County Live Stock association, Cheraw, 8. C. AtftajQjobile^Kor Sale. Reo Runabout/ta^ood condition, for sale or trade. J.
