Cheraw's Bargain Day.
' t
We feel that the people of Cheraw '
and vicinity should show due appreciation
of the efforts on the part of
Cheraw merchants to give them a
day of real bargains by taking advantage
of the offers ipade by them in
this paper. Without a doubt the merchants
are offering the goods advertised
at a loss but they are anxious
for you to come and buy them in order
that you might become acquainted
with their stores and stocks.
You have every thing to gain by
reading carefully their advertise
menta and making a note of the articles
in which you are interested,
noting particularly the goods, going
to that store on Tuesday, Aug. 2nd
and making your purchase. The big
idea of the Bargain Dollar Day is to t
advertise and incidently to give you
more for your dollar than you have
received in ages. This opportunity
could not come at a more opportune ]
time than at the present time. Every
one feels the pressure of the dull
' season about this time of the year
when we have to give the final pull
before the Harvest so we sincerely
hope no one will pass up this splendid
chance to make the dollar do its
utmost.
Our Cemetery.
_ *
After years of being sadly neglected,
except in spots. St. David's cemetery
is beginning to look like the
well kept beautiful place it ought
to be. Several months ago our cm.
zens organized a cemetery association.
and employed a keeper of the
grounds. In the short time since
the inauguration of this plan such a
marked improvement has been made
as Jo be worthy of comment.
We cannot help wanting the last
resting place of our loved ones to be
a beautiful spot and to9 it helps to
feel we are doing all that earthly
ha^ds can do to honor those who have
gone on before and left only the memory
of their lives to cherish and the
sad pleasure of beautifying the abiding
place of their bodies till the
*0011 rrootinn
It will help, materially, if those interested
in tHis wonderful work will
visit the cemetery and show appreciation
of the efforts of those who are
laboring to render this unselfish
service.
THE DAY OF RECKONING.
To ride the crest of a great wave
of prosperity and inflation one day
and be slung mercilessly, upon the
rocks of deflation the next, i9 a dismal
jolt. War always creates such
a false balloon of wind and delusion.
and the Federal Reserve Bank strove
valiantly and successfully to keep it
in the skies till the blood stopped
running on the field ot carnage and
destruction. The mistake it made
was in not fighting as deperately to
shield that balloon from the puncture
which sent it to the earth like a
wrecked aeroplane. That much is
conceded by any reasonable man. The
deflation should have been gradual,
and could have been, to a great ex.
tent. Another mistake made by the
Federal Reserve, New York and local
banks and others, was in not holding
a steadier and firmer hand upon the
reins, when the horse was running
away. Be that as it may the panic,
stern and cruel, swooped down upon
the world like a cyclone, and the
world lost its head. Having acted the
prodigal, like the prodigal, it expected
to eat still of the fatted calf. Denied
the flesh-pots, it began to howl
and condemn everything and every.
body. It berated the Federal Reserve
the gpvernment, and the local banks. |
It demanded the whereabouts of the
money that bad been falling like
snowflakes? It abused the banks. It
frequently hinted suspicions against
their solvency and virtue. After ridling
them with whip and spur, in
some instances, they were unkind
enough to blame the beast for its
slackening speed and unwilling endurance.
It is not a plear.ar.t thine
to do, and frequently cons'dered unwise
and injudicious, to wash busi
ness linen in public, but with printed
figures, there is no ethics, business or
moral, to forbid or condemn a little
conjuring with bald and indisputable
facts. The published statements
of the Calhoun County banks in las1
week's issue of The Times shows
that their loans aggregate oyer one
and , a half million dollars. Practically
all of this money is loaned in
the county. In addition to this, ev.
ery posted man knows that the life
insurance and bond companies have
enir>onrlnns sums in every
luaiicu oiujj/vu?v?v ? r
county of South Carolina. It would
seem that even a child in figures!
I
could see that it would be absolutely
folly to go on adding recklessly
to these burdens. Farmers have sustained
enormous losses in their cot.
ton operations. Those losses are
here, and here to stay. We may us
well reconcile ourselves to the true
situation and prepare to meet i: I
What is the remedy? You can of-j

have got to change your methods, ||

o
Letter from an Optimist
Editor Cheraw Chronicle,
Dear Sir:
It is a fact that business is picking
up some in this section and the general
feeling of the public is that the
worst is over and the dawn of a new
period is starting in. The crops in
our county and vicinity are exceptionally
good thus far and naturally
the farmers are, seemingly, in better
sDirits on that account. I can tell
you that it makes quite a different
feeling, to us all, to know that we are
facing the sun once more and "coming
back" instead of "going back," to
realize that all of this cyclone business
is behind us and the good .old
blue sky in front to guide us in this
new era. It means every ounce of our
efficiency displayed to keep the wheels
of progress increasing. It is also a
fact that if a person is seen standing
by the road side crying a crowd will
congregate and stop triffic but if one
is seen smiling you will smile too and
pass on. The question being asked
all, over the country: "When will
times get better?" The answer,
"When we make them better."
Motto: Don't Stop Traffic.
Yours truly,
\ * "Optimist."

DEATH TO WEEVILS
BY POISON METHOD
Prof. A. C. Moore Makes Interesting
Experiment.
The State, July 25.?From time to
time I have noted accounts of poisoning
the boll weevil bv the use of a!
mixture of calcium arsenate with
balckstrap molasses. Knowing the
general unreliability of the observa-1
tions and conclusions of those who
have had no training in scientific ex-,
perimentation, I have placed little
faith in these reports. However, to
satisfy a natural curiosity and per-^
chance to add to our too meager,
knowledge of the boll weevil, 1 have
completed a preliminary experiment,
which is striking in its results, so;
much so that I hasten to report on
it with the hope that it may even this
late day enable farmers to check to |
some extent the ravages of the boll
weevil this season.
The experiment was conducted as
follows: Under each of four large
glass jars a stalk of cotton was
placed. | The jars were number
1, 2, 3 and 4. Into each three live
and active boll weevils were introduced.
The latter promptly entered
the squares and fed freely upon
them. A few drops of poisoned mo.
lasses were then placed upon the
leaves of the plants'in jars 1, 2 and 3.
As a check, the plant in jar No. 4
was left without poison.
The next morning one weevil in
jar No. 1 was dead and two in jar
No. 2. During the several following
days others died, until on the fifth
day all three weevils in each of he
three poisoned jars were dead. Of
the three weevils placed in the unpoisoned
jar one was well and active

analysis of the bodies of the
dead weevils and found that they
contained arsenic. It would, therefore,
seem positively certain that the
boll weevils did find and eat the
poisoned molasses.
