(Sty (Eljpraui Qlhrmtulr Published on Thursday by ? STRICKLIX PRINTING CO. Cneraw, s. C J. N. STRICKLIN, Editor and Manager. Successor to the Cheraw Reporter which was established July 9, 1885, and entered as Second Class matter at Cheraw, S. C. GOOD FRIDAY. Tomorrow, April lo, is Good Friday. Every school boy and girl knows there is a "Good Friday," but few of them know why it is so called. They probably would say it is "potato planting day," since they have learned that there ciders, and especially their grand-parents usually believe this the one best day of the year for such work. Good Friday really is r. commemoration of the crucifixion of Jesus, observed* on the las: Friday before Easter of each year. It has been celebrated since an early period, and, while the practice had no religious significance, hot cross-buns always were a part of the meals 011 this day. FA ST Kit Easter, like all movable festivals, is one that annually causes a grea' deal of discussion as to the exact date it will fall upon. and. while the controversy might easily lie settled, since the date is regulated by the moon, most of us are willing to wait until the yearly almanacs and calendars are printed in both of which the date usually is established. ? ,.,iL. The encyiopeaia say? m iCSa^0 ?.? Easter: It is a festival commemorating the resurree'ion of Christ. There . was a long dispute in the Christian church as to the proper time to ob eerve _ Easier, hut the council at Nice settled the controversy in 325 when it fixed the date for the first Sunday after the full moon on or after March 21 of each year. If the full moon happens on a Sunday, then Easter is the Sundav following. Easter this year comes on April 12. There are some lovely people in this great world of ours that remind us of fragrant flowers. Whenever they draw near, we are glad, but know not why. They may not possess physical beauty, or riches or marvelous in telligence, but embodiment 01 peace. They inspire us tor they are full of inspiration of the highest order. These people are likely a quiet lake beside which grow tall and beautiful plants, which, when reflected in the water, makes a pleasant picture. There is no jarring, nor a ripple on the mirrorlike water. The colors of earth and sky harmonize exquisitely. Ilirds sing a soft lullaby into their ears. The world with its din is only a sweet memory. Look around you at almost any place in the town and you will see the need of doing something to make the town clean and look better. A little effort and a little working together and we will accomplish great things towaru matting- mis a ciean town. As an indication of the interest being taken in school matters in Chesterfield county, we call attention to the election held last week in Shilok school district on the question of issuing bonds in the sum of $2,500 for the purpose of erecting a school building. At this election only one vote was cast against the proposition. A little more than a year ago an election was held in this disterict on the same question and the proposi tion was almost unanimously voted down. The weather man's prediction this morning is enough to give one the shivers. He says that we will have freezing weather tonight and that a cold wave is coming at us right from the icy fields of Alaska, and that there will be big frosts as far south as Florida.

Juarez, April P.?Fragmentary dispatches from Torreon indicate that a large Federal army is advancing from Sanpedro to recapture Torreon. Several sharp skirmishes have been reported. Washington, April S.?An ice chillI cd wave direct from the frozen fields of Alaska is bearing down on Southern and Eastern States tonight, bringing what promises to he recordbreaking fall in temperature. Weather bureau experts predicted furs and overcoats would be exceedingly popular in Easter parades Sunday. From the lower Mississipi Valley States east to the Atlantic and as far north as the Ohio valley the temperature records report tonight ranged from 20 to ".0 degrees. At i'ensacola, Fla., the thermometer registered 50 degrees and was expected to drop to the 40 point by morning. By tomorrow night, the reports said, the northern portion of Florida would be in the grip of heavy frosts. The course of the cold wave is due north from the Southern Atlantic States and by tomorrow the Eastern States are expected to feel a decided difference in temperature. Reason for It.
