If the people of Cheraw knew the
condition of the closets surrounded
> by the stores along the south side of
1 Market and the east side of Second
streets there w.ould go up a mighty
howl in CHARMING Cheraw.
' The condition beggars description, r
The Chronicle has been hammering "
at this matter for consideraly more y
than a year?not in the columns of; .
I t
. the paper, but by PERSONAL. AP-, n
I PEALS to tholie supposed to have
' the authority to abate a nuisance. a
The Chronicle at first had not the 1
slightest idea but that the DIRTY ! |
FILTHY! closets would be torn
? away once the authorities were ap- n
1 prisd of their condition. j i
But private appeal after private ap- 1
I j
^ peal has failed to have any effect, so j
NOW we are calling attention to the
situation through the columns of the
' paper in the hope that, for the good
i '
| of the town, the attention of some clti- j
( zen may be directed to the matter! t
? who may have sufficient PULL with v
' THE POWERS THAT BE to have the \
1 nuisance abated.
* It has been bad enough during the 2
t i
cold winter months, but now that i
?
warm weather has set in the situation
is serious. The health of the whole 1
town is threatened.
Just think?all around this "lot of ^
j closets"?there are just TWENTY 1
,' of them?is more than half of the; I
, grocery stores and meat markets of' 11
I ^ b
s, the town?not a one of these places i
a
' of business is screened from the files,
I
and then Just think of the SWARMS
, OF FLIES going from these closets
. and crawling all over the exposed
. groceries, fruits, vegetables and fresh L
meats that go to feed the people of i
CHARMING Cheraw !
But why say more ?
' IT there are may' doubting Thomas's
*1
- in Cheraw, Just let them come to The d
1 Chronicle office and say so, and al- c
' - though the FILTH is enough to. a
' MAKE A FELLOW HEAVE we will

SOWS, RAISE MORE MEAT I
^ t
; It is probable that two large pack[
ing houses will be in operation in
t South Carolina before the year ends, (
and naturally this will create a better ,
home market for our surplus meat an- 1
I imals than we have ever had before. \
> inereiore, noia on to your brood
, hows; breed them to good pure bred
, boars; prepare in season for editable
. forage crops and grain that the pigs
I may be pushed rapidly In their devel- j
opment.
Under present conditions the brood
sow is probably the most profitable of
i farm animals if managed judiciously,
t Hogs in the corn belt are often called
i "mortgage lifters"; there's a reason,
i Think it oyer. i

The Fly Is tlu> Tie that Binds the Unhealthy

The fly has no equal as a germ

in toe body of a single fly.
it is dilinitciy known that trne fly is

it is widely believed that it is also

The very presence of a fly is a signal
