LET'S HAVE A REAL CELEBRATION.
The following little Bquib has met
Vith so much commendation by our
citizens, many of them requesting us
to continue the work until every one
in Cheraw cries for a regulor "Old
Tim<$," Fourth of July [celebration,
that we have decided to reprint it,
hot being able to think of anything
better to say just at this time.
Generally, with its big presses, lino9
types and other modern equipment,
* The Chronicle aims at things metro- '
politan. Its continuous receipt of let
ters commendatory promotes egoism.
However, It admits occasional desire
to lapse into provincialism (where it
belongs). The battering Is upon us i
now.
The Chronicle wants a Fourth of July
celebration this year. A regular oldfashioned
celebration. One with cannon
crackers at day break and more
of them all day, knd sky rockets sputtering
and whirling and fire works *
i
at night?"a grand display of pyrotechnics"
at night, sir, if you please.
It wants to hear the declaration of independence
read by a pretty girl in a
white dress with a red sash, and it
wants Mayor Sprull, or some other
fellow who understands the job, to set
the eagle screaming Yes, }
The Chronicle wf^ts to "See the Che
raw Military company, the Uniform
Rank W. O. W., or both the U. R. and
the Military company at the head of j
the procession, and it wants to see |
Smythe Henderson in the lead with
his bugle and his bugle corps. 'i
The Chronicle wants to see a cali- I
thumpian parade. Its soul yearns for v
the aroma of beef and park and beans
a la barbecue. It wants to see Che- '
raw's streets filled with people drinking
red lemonade aud eating pop corn. (
/ It wants to see the city council on pa i
rade and the various societies and or- 1
ganlzations laboriously marching, a '
procession of floats representing the industries
and mercantile establishments, |
with prominent men astride prancing ']
chargers, wearing big red sashes and i
gaudy badges.
Yes, sir, The Chronicle wants to
see these things. Shamelessly it makes
the declaration. It would not shudder .
if the fire department turned out in red
shirts and redder helmets, and it ']
wants the business men to wear white '
gloves and march eight abreast, with 1
the bigger oses (averdupolsly speak- 1
* ??v ? Tf wonfu fn CAA fhn ''
lug; up 1U 11VUI. At TV U1UO IV wv M.V
stores decked out in bunting, flags \
a-fly and happy children shrilling their (
delight. i
The Chronicle wants a Fourth of 'I
July that is a Fourth of July. It '<
wants a lot of 'acrobats, a man to i
make a balloon ascension and another '
to walk a tight rope. ]
No one doubts that Cheraw is the
biggest little town in several states,
and it should show itself in a celebra- >
tion that would resound with patriot- i
ism from River Hill to "Scratch" and
Foundry Hill, and from Whortleberry
to the Brick Yard.
The Chronicle wants to see a Fourth
of July that will make every one forget
that there ever was such a thing
as a war in Europe.
Easter will not be observed in Cheraw
this year; at least it is natural
for us to think so. because none of
our merchants have advertised any
Easter goods. But 'then the ladies
may have prepared for the occasion by
going to Bennettsville. IJartsville,
Chesterfield. Wadesboro. or even Morvin,
and got their Easter hats and
dresses as the dealers in each of these
f towns have been telling for the past
two weeks in their heal palters of the
wonderful millinery and dress goods
to be bad at their stores.
!
THE TOWN HALL.
Clean up the town hall. Beautli
the premises. Make of the public pro]
ert.v in Cheraw a place which may I
a source of civic pride.
Private proi?erty owners cannot we
be invited to keep their homes and su
roundings attractive if the town itse
persists in letting its own public proj
rty go to waste. Let's have populs
vanity enough to make the town hall
place to l>e pointed out to visitors fc
them to envy. iWjii
Regardless of the size of a eommun
ty, any place may have its own civi
center. We can have ours by beaut
fying the town hall. A single lot?eve
a vacant lot?may be transformed hit
a civic center if we will only hav
pride enough to do it
The town hull is logically the civl
center of this community. Theoretics
ly it is such a center. If 'the hub c
community interest is unkempt, dh
heveled, maintained in a state of us<
lessness and carelessness, the rest c
that community is in danger of follow
ing the pattern set Suppose we clea
up the town hall premises and set th
fashion right. Suppose we beautify th
public property and make it a sight t
be seeu and admired.
Made a place of attraction, the tow
hall will become a place of inspiratio
for the whole community. It is for u
to strive to l>e more beautiful and har
pier, and here is a decidedly good wa;
in which to begin. It is not too late t
do it yet this year. What do you thin!
about starting right'away? Will yoi
volunteer to assist the movement? Le
us have your opinion; talk it over a
home and discuss it with your neigh
bors on the street when you come dowi
town.
Since the above was in type a meetin;
of the citizens has been called by th
town council to consider "what to d<
with the town hall."
CLEAN UP WEEK

rnor Manning's Clean Up proclaraa
Jon: 3 i JMBjEJ
"Whereas, It has been proved be
yond all doubt that clean prlvab
premises and clean public space:
greatly conduce to the public health
and,
Whereas, the women's clubs an
planning a great "clean up" moveraen
for the week commencing April 5th;
Now, therefore, I, Rich^^. Man
SlPJL eqvun% 'I
clean up week, and urge . author!
ties and all private citizens to giv<
their time, attention, and personal ai(
Jo this movement conducted by oui
women for our common aid and ben
bflt"
In conformity with this proclaraa
tion, the citizens of our town shoulc
begin on April 5th and for the follow
ing seven days to set their places ir
brder. This eans that back yardf
as well as front gardens should b<
made as clean as rake, hoe, broon
and fire can make them. This means
also, that the entire street in front o:
a building as well as the sidewall
should be cleared of all debris, sucr
as the sweepings from the walks, th<
dead limbs of shrubbery or of treei
from garden or grounds, the grass o
the vintage of last fall. In short
anything unsightly to one's self one'i
aeighbor, or to the passerby should b<
wiped out of existence. Trash or dlr
is matter out of place. Let everyon<
see to it that there be no matter ou
of place from April 7th on.
It is the aim of the Civic League t<
make Cheraw spotless as well ai
healthful. To succeed in this objec
Will require the aid of every house
keeper, storekeeper, boy, and girl o
the town. The first breath of sprini
warms up breeding places of flies am
mosquitoes. So, to begin with, all tii
cans, old bottles, and piles of rubbisl
Should be hauled off the premises o
burned. Along with these should g<
aid papers and the litter that makei
the walks and streets so unsightly.
All trash that cannot be burned it t
hoped will be gathered up by the towi
cart which may go around for thi
puriNise at the end of the week.
Let each one give a helping han<
toward making Cheraw more sanitar;
and more beautiful.

Here Is Good News J
for Stomach Victims
Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vestable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing and uprifylng action uj>ou the
lower bowels, removing the obstructions
of poisonous fecal matter and
gases and preventing their absorption
by the blood. This done, the food is
allowed free passage from the
stomach, fermentation teases and .
stomach troubles quickly disnpper. \
George H. Mayr, for twenty years a
lending Chicago druggist, cured him
self and many of his frien is ol'
stomach, liver and intestinal tumbles
of .rears standing by this treatment.
and so successful was the remedy he ?
devised that It has since been placed
in She hands of druggists a ' over the
1't.r.ds of druggists all over the country,
