CHERAW SHOULD BEGIN RIGH1
NOW TO?
Cheraws' Big Day last Thursday was
not much of a Big Day as compared
to former Big Days. The great
trouble was the lack of a spirit ol
cooperation. A great many Cheraw
people were opposed to the "style" ol
the affair.. They openly said ^hey
were sick and tired of politics and the
idea of having as an attraction two
"Politicans" to deliver addresses did
m>t anneal to the home folks and re.
pelled instead of attracting visitors.
And then the only other attractions
were ?*.- "Carnival" and two base bail
games?both of which called for quite
an iexpenditure ^>f money ''if anjl
thing were seen."
"CARNIVALS"
The Chronicle wants to commend
the city council of Columbia in shutting
out 'Carnivals," and at the same
time protest again to the city council
of Cheraw against allowing "Carnivals"
to stop over in Cheraw.
The "Carnival," so-called, is a device
that is throughly played out. II
belongs to the era of booths and
shows that used to overrun smal'
towns when a circus came along. II
is in the class of the shell-games am
three-card moute. It is a fake and i
superficial dazzle and sucker gambling
f.ll of them things which no respectable
city or town should tolerate.
A "Can ival" is bad for a town-an.
tewim- at any time. It is demoralize
Its appeal is low. It puts the town it
self, for the time being, in the "poker
class, and keeps it there in the opiu
ion of all who know what such thing.'
mean.
Lets cut out the "Carnival" here
after.
It is thought that there was about
2000 j>tople in Cheraw on August. 12
Quite a difference between this am
former "Big Days" when 10,000 ant
32,000 came to see us.
It's right and proper to "Dig foi
Charming Chraw" but there's a diffe
rence in inviting friends and strau
gers to come and "dig."
It seems to The Chronicle that iti
up to the people of Cheraw to I>egii
right now to plan for a celebratioi
that will put Cheraw back in thi
position she has heretofore held in tbi
estimation of the public?so far a
celebrations are concerned.

GERMANY IN RUSSIA
, New York Financiers Discount Value
of Her Successes
\ (From tlie Wall Street Journal.)
The failure of the Russians to hold
Warsaw or their ordinal lines of defence
was foreseen long ago, and accordingly
planned for. Financial circles
In America were iwsted upota the situation.
hence the little effect from the
fall of Warsaw in American finance.
Tresent advices are that the new
Russian munition factories are getting
into order very rapidly, and no advantages
are exi>ecte<l to accrue to
Germany from her advance in Russia.
There has l>een some }talk about
foreign securities. One of the car man
ufueturing companies accepieu a wutrnct
from Russia after negotiating for
the sale of the notes to he received in
payment. But Russian orders on this
basis very soon came to a halt as the
market for foreign securities is very
narrow in the United States.
It is the first principle in the military
tactics of Germany, as of other countries,
that there is no settlement ol
the issue until the armies of the enemy
, are captured or destroyed. The mere
entrance into this or that city means
. nothing so long as the opposing armies
, are in the field.
Until Germauy can destroy the
, armies of Russia she cannot carry on
any extensive aggressive campaign
elsewhere. It is not believed that Germany
and Austria could break through
I
to Constantinople and an attempt to
do so might invite the long-promised
(union of all the Balkan States with
Greece in a defensive war. Bulgaria
was formerly bound to assist in the defence
of Serbia, and both Bulgaria
and Roumania are loyal to Russia as
the founder of their modern freedom.
It is not believed in financial circles
that Germany aud Austria combined
could make any headway through the
mountains or along the seaeost in an
; effort to invade Italy.
If Germany could not break through
the French lines when she had 3,200,00C
men on the soil of France, and the
English attacks on Von Kluck's right
wing had been reduced below 40,000
. what basis is there now for belief thai
t Germany could make any effective
^ warfare on the western border? Eng
land to-day has three million men in
I , ^
I lie war area uim hi naming,
t Germany's submarine warfare Is t
[ failure and the allies are In control ol
t the air.
The rails for peace come louder anc
louder fom Germany, but there la n<
! reason to Iielleve that Germany Is yei
In a state where any terms of th<
allies would he acceptable. Thes<
f terms mean nothing less than, Ger
many's disarmament and an indemit.^
to Belgium.
Indeed, Germany can get no different
t rms to-day than she will get nftei
; many months of fighting. Hence, froir
the German point of view, it Is bettei
for her to fight on In the hope of gain
ing some i>oint of vantage which th<
retreat of the Russian armies does nol
'afford.
t Bankers in a position to be well In
formed on international affairs hav<
j no fears concerning Internationa
credit or any trouble arising from low
1 exchange rates. All American con
tracts are made in terms of dOllan
payable on this side.
r There is some talk on both sides 01
the water that the remonetlzation o!
silver at the present time might be i
good thing for England, csiteclally Ir
view of the absorption of at?out $400,
000.000 in gold by India In the past few
s years.

What Is Carnegie Worth!
(From The Baltimore Sun.)
When rumor* were.flaahed over the
land again one-day recently that An
drew Carnegie wa? aeaa me query uu
everybody's lips was: "How much
money did he leave?''*
Mr. Carnegie himself made the immortal
remark that it Is a crime to
die rich?being One crime which most
! of us will escape without violent ef1
fort.
But how much is Carnegie worth?
Since he sold his steel works the income
from the bounds he received in
payment has amounted to $210,000,000.
Hence the Lainl might have
tpent $5,000,000 a year to maintain
away $140,000,000 and still have all
of his original fortune intact.
Generous.
"Weve won that suit of Thompson's
against the railroad company," said
the Junior partner, according to The
New York World. What shall we
charge him?"
"Let me see," said the senior partner.
"What was the amoutn of the
damages?-'
"Twenty thousand dollars.''
"Make a bill out for nlnteen thousand
five hundred. He's entitled to
something for giving us the case."
