KEKI* A-GOING.
In looking back over the winter,
there are things we as a community
have accomplished; looking forward
into the. spring and summer, there
are other things we contemplate and
pl^n, but the main thing is?
Keep a-going!
Season in and season out, we find
something to do for the town's progress.
Smaller communities are just
as ambitious as the larger ones, and
there are just as ambitious as the
larger ones, an dthere just as many
things to do and just as many which
can be done. So we must
Keep a-going!
Spurts of action, such as town
boosting, planting trees, repairing
and building a strip of road, setting
out a few flowers, putting up a iew
extra hitcheing posts for the customers
from the country, must
Keep a-going!
Occasional campaigns to arouse civic
pride are not enough. Half successful
endeavors should not rest until
complete success comes. Things
* are not accomplished for the good of
a town in a moment and when such
things are once accomplished, there
are other things to do. So?
Keep a-going!
Communities can grow in size or
else in goodness and beauty. It
takes continuous cumulation. Once
used and laid aside until some other
time stimulation loses its power. It
will deteriorate and lose its force
unless Cheraw keeps it working on
town development all the time. We

We can have something doing here
all the time; something for the people
to talk about, something for the people

A WORKING MOTTO.
v. "Leave the summer more beautiful
than you found it "
Here is a working moUo for Cheraw
people. It should be memorized
by the individual and inscribed by
the civic organization whose summer's
work is devoted largely to the
successful beautihcation of the community.
Recite it in the schools and
talk it on the streets. Introduce it
to laboiers. mechanics, clerks, merchants,
preachers, physicians and
* lawyers.
You may "leave the world more
beautiful than you found it" by putting
off your plans until 1915 but the
motto here given means this year,
here and uow. It means playgrounds
and more playgrounds this year, it
means more gardens and more vacant
lot cultivation now, it means planting
trees and shrubs and beautification
of the home yards this summer.
. Jt is work for everybody; particu
i&jkrly for community welfare societies.
Ifris work to bring joy and satisfaction,
and not disappointment, to the
workers and to those who nrofit in
happiness from (he work.
It is easy to put off work until another
year, to plan too late, to fail
to get into action despite best-made
' desire and best-laid plans. Many
other times, tasks are only partially
completed for lack of stimulus.
Here we have a "Do It Now" slogan
which embraces everything from the
pictures on the walls at home to ornamental
lighting on the streets. It
means more shade trees planted this
spring, more flower gardens down
town as well as in the residence districts,
more flower boxes, improved
streets, cleaner streets and alleys,
more attractive school yards, better
housing, more beautiful factory surroundings.
a clean-up campaign, a
more efficient citizenship.
Good intention is not enough; making
of plans is not sufficient; action
is essential Is this to be a 6ummer
of better things? A summer of beautification?
Beautification of public

.vate possessions, of- business-bouses
and residences, of life itself? Then
let us adopt and remember our motto
to "leave the summer more beautiful
than we .-found it." For one
The Chronicle intends to "leave the
summer more beautiful tlmn it found
it" if it is possible. Will every citizen
of and society in Cheraw pledge
themselves to do the same?
LOOKING AHEAD.
In little things we must look ahead
and think of the future. Perhaps the
little deed of kindness, the loving
word, the sweet smile, orthewrong
act, idle word or angry frown, may
not effect our lives nor the lives of
anyone else today. Let us not only
think of the present, but looking into
the hereafter, see what the influence
i will be there.
It is more suitable, and so to j
, speak, higher affairs than these that
the wisdom of looking ahead asserts
! itself.
When Esau.coming in weary and '
i
I spent from the hunting field, sold to j
crafty Jacob, for a mess of pottage, |
; the birthright which belonged to fhe j
I elder brother, he simply did what j
| hosts of men have been doing ever !
j since. H/? d:J not look ahead but act- I
I ed on 'he moment's impulse. For a J
temporary pleasure, an apparent pres-1
lent advantage, he bartered his heav- .
i en bestowed right to dignity, consid- j
| eration and manhood. And yet to|
day, many of us, to gratify ourselves '
for the present, indulged in some plea- '
sure which perhaps may be our ruin, j
It is done without thought for the '
i future.
In Easu was exemplified the fatal
weakness which is the besetting dani
ger of strength. Not one of us who
forgets to look ahead when accepting J
some compromise with conscience or j
venturing in'o some doubtful path is
the least nobler or wiser than Esau. '
j
Let us look even farther,*yea. be-I
yond this transient life to the etirni- j
ty beyond and, looking above in 1
throughtfulness and, looking anove in
tihoiightfiilness and prayer, piepare
ourselves for
The beautiful home over there
Where flowers eternal bloom,
And loved ones watching a land so
fair
For others to join them soon.
GET THE HAPPY HABITS
"I have no domestic troubles and
no financial troubles to speak of. I
am not in love with anybody clse'a
wife and nobody else'a wife is in

and I have not lost the recipe for rose 1

Then he thought of the millions of
walking gronches who go through
life radiating discomfort upon their
fellow workers and he wondered what
would be the effect if, on a given day
at a set hour, every one of them
could be converted into a glad hand
jollier.
Kind words are really very cheap?
we don.t know of a thing that's cheaper
and at the same time more valuable.
They simply reflect a habit of
mind.
Why not get the habit?
"English as She Is Spoke."
In a select private school where the
English spoken?even by the youngest
?would delight Ilenry .lames, one of
the fifth grade teachers chanced to
meet one of her former pupils who had
been promoted to a higher grade, and
she said:
"IIow do you do. Harold? Are you
getting on well?"
"Yep!" answered Harold.
"My. Harold! Is that the way you
are tnuglit to speak?" And Harold
most unconcernedly answered, "Nope!"
