Their ( business, their work, their trade requires it. In the smaller towns, resi- | ~ rofei-piire. busy. UGDCC lb It ^ucouvn v* _ grimy industries attract i?eople 'to the ' large communities in spite of them- , selves; but it is different with us, , choosing the life of the town in order to \ be happier. . ( Cheraw provides some of the essen- j tials to contented living that are not i to be found in the places of greater j numerical importance. It is a ques- ? tion of town life with us; it's a ques tion of industrial striving with the big cities. It is a mistake for us to think ever and only how to become larger; 1 it is our opportunity to keep alert that 1 we may become a better community ( which is away and ahead of more im- ( i portance than mere growth. The bubble grows large; we build from the * ground up. The smaller cities and country towns ! may well be proud of themselves and take courage. We are well justified in being proud of Cheraw. r oiks van i live in the great centers of population J and despise their home cities, but you J can't live in a town unless you ardj proud of it. We've got to be civic 1 ' I! ^ egotists here. Our opportunities are immeasurable.! Let us make the most of them. On | every hand you hear about "efficiency.'' I There is the efficiency of business I \ efficiency in city government, eflflci | off. j r~* It is the most Important of all, and I you will find it only in the smallei I cities and the little towns. This I "efficiency of social life" is the tiling I which attracts in this community, and! in the coming season this efficiency I reaches its highest point. Ijet us enjoy I it and make the most of it, for it LI a mutal proposition that helps m I individual more than it helps all the I rest I Only ii> cownju Jties like ours, caul the social life be capitalized by th< I community. This onn be done here I only by the studying of our city aid J' * 1 ?* On nnnAffniiHo^ furl tne enlarging no .... ? better and more comforts and contentment Let us work to that end. ' COUNTY GOOD ROADS DAY. ' They had a big good roads day observed by fully 10,000 road builder? In Washington county, Pennsylvania. ? few days ago. It was the nrst countj roads day although several state day? have been he'd and national day is now being advocated, and it clearly demons trated what may be done by such a ecuntv observance. Night found Lt 2,100 miles of liwai highways with in the county's boarders improved ? they had never been before. Why not have u county, ov even ? township, good roads day here, when men, women and children may consecrate an entire day from dawn to sunset to work on the highways? What might not be accomplished in the improve merit of the highways? What might not be accomplished in the improve 5 ment of the highways in the vicinity of this town? What a spirit of fraternal isin would develop? How 1. ?i- - ...w.l, ? preai migiii lh; nitr ?utr>? ul ? day? f In Washington county, hankers. ? lawyers, manufacturers and under- \ takers lahore<l shoulder to shoulder 1 with convicts from the county Jail, city men worked alongside of farmers and i farm hands and college students i labored beside dark Italian coal dig gers. each one striving to make the 1 road better. One of the worst sections i of throughfare was attacked by the 1 football squad of a neighboring college. 1 which left behind it a piece of high- t - way which resembled a boulevard, ji Volunteers from the towns rode out to \ . work in scores of automobiles and c thousands of men of brain and brawn ? V ' .. with picks and shovels followed the a horse-drawn scrajters, shovels, scoops 1 and plows for ten hours. < For days preceeding, every piece of i road building equipment had been f engaged in putting the highways in i shape for the final day, Just preceed- i ' * WXL" 2?Hr Lr for. ng this day, the equipment was distrl- Tk >uted over all sections of the county. X Farmhouses held oikmi house nil day 'or the laboring hosts and women 'urnished dinner while children pulled veeds or carried water to the thirsty or nen. Everybody saw more of every- ]\j >ody else and learned to think better ^ if his neighbor and fellow-man. It vas a lesson In American roadbuildlng ^' md it was also a lesson in American itizenship. Why couldn't we pull off h< such a stunt in this township or even fc hrough the county? ^ si State Superintendent!! of Education ^ i R. Swear-i'f.-vi has sent (is a copy .~ >f the new compulsory school attend- 111 nice law. The editor of The ('.ironcle has for a long time been C m advocate of a compulsory uttcndnice law, but we are not much in lined to the piece meal way provided n this law. We think if it Is a good g1 :hing it should lie State-wide. And :hen It provides tor an election in each .. \| listrict and in one section sa>s the 4 'lection must be held on the "second Tuesday in June, one thousand nine lundred and fifteen, following the fil- ^ .ig of the pel lion, or on the second Tuesday of June of any subsequent ear." Then section 13 of the act pro- 0 rides: This act shall lie in full 'orce and effect from and after the irst day of July, one thousand nine f lundred and fifteen." Can an election >e held under an act before the act lt leconies law and if held would it be tl i legal election? f( ? ai This year every citizen should take p i deep interest in the welfare of the ,x rity. If you 'sincerely believe that p omlitions are prevalent that need .'hanging, don't be afraid to start some- ri :hing. This year the very best p ?ffort that is in every citizen should \\ issert itself to the end that this ^ :own's adcancemeut is sure and safe. . The fellow who kicks is often the mai vho does his community, the real - orvice. There is a difference d >etwoen a grouch and a good health} ticker. 1 Many farmers ami others can recall the fact that when they were boys or 1 he farm, the farmer who had two '7 spring seats to put on his wagon for 'gin days was considered a fortunate v md well to-do fariW. Most fanners ^ hen had only pne^Mng seat and the abHieross the wrfgou l?ed. Then cam? C the farmer who had the spring wagon r( i smaller wagon with springs under it Hien the top carriage and so on. Now , t is the automobile that runs not only >n springs but on cushioned tires and " >ne automobile costs about as much p' is thirty spring wagons used to cost, 'n all of this we may catch the drift 111 f progress and also an explanation f the high cost of living. But we have ?1 o have such things now. ' 10 ol Bad weather, yesterday, for bediming of "Clean-up" week. But an M >1(1 prophet (?) once said, "a bad beginling makes a good ending."
