C., will be read with interest by quite a number of Chesterfield people: "The March term of civil court convened yesterday (Monday) morning with Judge Geo. Rountree of Wilmington presiding. Several minor matter* were disposed of before the cour took up the case of Mr. P. F. Smith, held here under bond in connection with the case of Mr. D. D. Coward against the Wadesboro Dry Goods Co. and P. F. Smith for the death bf a horse, driven by Smith while doing work for the company sometime ago This case was taken up and an effort made to show that Smith owned nmnprtv last October when he filed f/.wjrw. ^ a petition setting forth that he was unable to satisfy the judgment secured against him and the company mentioned above. Fraud was alleged at that time and hq was confined for several weeks, giving bond to appear at this term of court. Mr. Smith satisfied the jury that he did not have any property, that his invalid wife and family required all the money that he could earn and he was promptly dichargcd from custody. Mr. Smith left to day for Keyser, W. Va., to conduct a sale there." It will* be remembered that Mr. Smith was arranging to put on a sale for Pusser & Sons at Chesterfield this past winter when he was arrested on a warrant from North Carolina. He returned to Wadesboro without requisition papers and stood his trial, the jury finding against mm. aoi dein^ able to pay the judgment against him he made affidavit to that effect and was arrested then on a charge of perjury, in that he swore he was not worth or did not own any property. The verdict shows that Mr. Smith was telling the truth. Use for Boneo of Albatross. Bones of the albatross are being used to a very great extent of late as mouthpieces for pipes instead of amber.

The Civic League, at its monthly aeeting, decided to hold a Library )ay on Thursday, March 11th, at .eague Hall. This is to take the cum of a public confirence to which U interested iu formiug a town lirary are cordially invited. To supplies long telt need of our town the <eague will give its money and effort. Since a town library is an instltuion that adds much to the pleasure, he interest, and the educational up[ft of a municipality, it touch-s all ainily life. As a business asset it is f great value to any community. To-' ether with waterworks and electri:: IghtB ? librarj is one of the induce-' lents that brings in new people. Yom every point of view it is an ageny for town improvement thai should ommand the sympathy and aid of all. The Civic League is earnest in its esire to aid in all ways that it can _ .1.. ??il nnm. J luc ttUliltUVCIICOS iiuu U1C w,u leteness of "Charming Cheraw," but hough eager and willing its memberhip is small, so it is asking all who re willing, to help it in this matter f civic advancement It is hoped hat an attractive program can be aranged; at any rate, a plan of organiation will be discussed in "open orum." The League Is more than willing to houlder the labor, but, in order to aake the library of general benef. t must have the support of subscrib rs financially; it also needs the en ouragement of the moral backing of he community. Upon these depends ts success in carrying out its wish to start a town library. Other towns no larger than Cheraw iave Carnegie Libraries, is there not public spirit enough in Cheraw to establish a Cheraw Library without outside assistance? News Items From McFarlan.
