TO CHERAW MSINFSS MEN.
The Chronicle wants to maintain
itself as a standard newspaper tlm
year but it cannot do it without the
whole-souled, liberal support of Cheraw
business men.
A perusal of our columns from week
to week shows we are getting practically
no support from Cheraw business
men. We surely should get suf
ficient patronage from home enterprises,
all of which are tremendously
benefitted by the paper, to conduct
the business on a paying basis.
As to our Charges, no reasonable
complaint can justly be made, viz:
25 cents per inch for display, front
page; 15 cents per inch for display,
other pages; and 10 cents per inch
for electros, solid. Solid pages, not
crowded, or where reading matter set
in small type is not used, we ask only
$12.00. or $S.0o for a half page. On
the front page a minimum of per
page, or $ 10.0<? per half page, is offered
for occasiot.il use.
Suppose three pages of the paper
is consumed in display, each week,
this would be only $36.UO. No less
than three employees are required to
get out the paper. Expenses, such as
insurance, .rent, interest, lights, paper.
and some income for the publisher.
must be considered.
A newspaper, it cannot be disputed,
does as much for a town as any other
agency and therefore as a promotor
of business, social, educational and
religious interests, it has a reason to
expect all the printing and advertising
fhat it is possible and practicable
for its home town to extend.
Business men of Cheraw. let there
be a rallying to your newspaper!
When you patronize the Chronicle,
don't consider that von are committing
a charitable act. but that you are assisting
to promote and maintain an
enterprise which you well know the
town cannot do without; that you
are doing homage to an enterprise that
Its viHutinrr utrtro tr\ vmir U'lOlhpinp
lO WUlllUUl.Uj, ...x,. V w .. ^
and prosperity, to the square inch,
considering the price paid, than any
other agency.
By backing your newspaper, you
are furnishing an expression of gratitude
to the public and a degree of
appreciation t<? the publisher which
can be termed nothing more than a
beautiful spirit of reciprocity.
During 1916 you want your town to
get out. not a measly, noncreditable
newspaper, but a creditable, honorreflecting
publication. You must remember
the Chronicle exchanges with
practically every newspaper in Smith
Carolina and it g<>es into hundreds ol
homes in Chesterfield county. \Ybulc
you have it continue to show up badly'
We believe you have too much pridt
for that and, now that the matter has
been called to your attention, we an
sure that you will respond as is be
coming a progressive people. Come
now. be good, give us the business
and reflect credit 011 yourselves ant
on your newspaper.
Not only by placing an advertise
ment but also by subscribing.
> C0-0PHKAT10N TO PLANT TREKS
Real oo-o|>eration is such ;i rare
E tiling, it seems that when it really hap- ai
r pens t here is general comment. i"
, So it ha pi KM is that the action of 1"
r fanners along a pike for a distance 01
of six miles out of Shelbyville, Inch, 1,1
: Jiave created considerable favorable ?
remarks for signing an agreement to 1*
plant trees on either side of the road,
: way. sixty feet apart, and of a uniform 1,1
variety. ,l11
All that was required was some- 1,1
Inii|y tu fiu around with the agreement *'v
ami secure the signatures: or lierhnps
: tlie promises to do so were secured J"
; over the telephone and the paper sent di
alon^' at their convenience. Or i?erI
haps the entire job was the result of
I a verbal agreement, which anions
I gentlemen, is as binding as anything (,(l
i ever written. xv'
A few years lience that pike will be
a model for shade and satisfaction.
That kind of co-npeartion in the rural Vt'
districts is worth while copving. :,s

A CONGRESSIONAL DRAWItACK , v
hi
.Most of the congressmen in the 04th .
congress were elected on dead issues.
,?v
i hose of them elected a year ago
come the closest to lieing on the jobs
as the result of late politie:il developmoots;
yet not a single one of them was
elected because of his standing on
questions affecting the 04th congress.
At that time the Kuroiicuu war hud
not begun. There was 110 preparedness ll,J
agitation: and other issues that follow '<
were likewise iaekiug. do
In the meantime there was a short
session of congress at which "lauie
ducks." another name for ahsolutely vv"
irresponsilde congressmen because the\ ^r<
were to lose their seats at the end ol I"
the session, aided in the legislation. 1,1
Eighteen mouths hetweeu the elee- "
tion of congressmen and the time thc\ v,'!
take their seats! And in tlie mean
time a vast change of issues!
This is a system that should he im
proved at an early day. There is no \
reason for the long delay. It retards
responsive legislation; It means that ,<t;
congressmen vote on"" big new issues exj
without an opinion from their con- j(HI
stituents. ^
.Not a single congressman has beeti ,|U(
elected because of liis stand for or ,,,

WAR KILLS BABIES. TOO .lei

tremendously. Jn other words, the far

SOREHEAD JN POULTRY
Extremely Contagious Disease of
Fowls Can Cause Serious Loss
Unless Promptly Checked.
Sorehead, a disease of chickens caused
by spores of a common mold, appears
wheu fe'vls come in contact with
moldy litter or moldy grain. It seems
not to be a constitutional disease. It
is usually confined to the face, comb,
wattles and ear-lobes, eyes, nostrils,
and mouth, but is occasionally found
i under the wings in advanced or neslected
cases. It is extremely contagious
and may spread through a
Hock in two or three days. |
Sorehead is of two kinds, dry and
moist, according to the surface attacked
by the spores. If it is on the mucous
membrane of the eye, mouth, or
nostrils, the moist type develops; if
I on the skin of the face or adjacent
parts, H will be the dry or warty variety.
The moist type is a most serious
disease, growing rapidly. It soon
closes the eyelids, which swell to an
enormous size, blinds the fowl, and
causes it to waste away and die.
When sorehead appears, it is not
necessary to isolate the diseased fowls
front the flock. Look for moldy litter
or food and if it is found replace it
with fresh. Check the disease by coloring
the drinking water pink with a
few crystals of Dermaneanate of Dot
ash, and paint the face and comb of
the apparently well chickens with
equal parts of creolin and water, or a
strong purple solution of permanganate
of potash. Give appetizing food.
It is advisable to mix the egg mash
with buttermilk or sour skim milk and
feed sprouted oats daily. Cook cheap
meat, cut it up, and throw to the
chickens.
The fowls that have the warta
should be caught and the crust of
each wart removed. The tissue underneath
is red. Dip a clean feather
in one of the remedies named below
and touch the red tissues with the
I liquid. Next morning the treated wart
will have a black scab over it, which
dries and falls off in three or four
days. A week later one cannot detect
where the wart was.
j In treating the moist variety, ft is
I necessary to drop the remedy into the
eye. nostrils, or whatever organ is attacked.
This seems cruel, but It
saves the fowl.
The remedy the writer prefers Is
pure, undiluted creolfn. We have not
lost a chicken from sorehead since
using this remedy. It will eradicate
the disease from the eye and, if used
in time, will save the sight. Other
good remedies are iodine, cresol or
similar disinfectant, zenoleum, all
used undiluted; purple solution of permanganate
of potash, liquid shoe polish
(black), and solution of copperas
(as much as will lie on a 25-cent piece,
dissolved in a cup of water). A clean
feather is best for applying the remedy.
