INTERESTING LETTER FROM Ml
H. L. POWE
i ,
Dear Sir:
It has been our pleasure t
have just made a very Interesting an
instructive tour through the countr
as far as Washington, D. C. and
occurred to me that perhaps some c
our citizens who contemplate such
trip in the future might be intereste
in the impressions majJe on us.
Leavfnr with n{y sisters and i
friend whose home is in Philadelphi
we started on August 4th, on ou
journey. The first thing that lmpret
sed us was the marked improvemen
in the roads as we passed out c
South Carolina. Tferhaps I should nc
comment so unfavorably oi^the road
in our State as I hope other place
can boast of better roads than w
have around here, but it is with
feeling of regret that we are so fa
behind in this respect as compare
with our sister State.
Passing through Hamlet we cam
to the beautiful peach orchards, th
finest one we passed was the on
owned by our townsman Mr. T. C
Evans. The fact of these proeperou
looking orchards raises the questloi
why we around Cheraw cannot b
equally successful in raising peacbe
and other crops than cotton especial
ly as the boll weevil is with us t
stay. There ara hundreds of peacl
orchards flourishing on land mucl
like our poorest land and nettineetai
like our poorest land and netting th
owners handsome returns.
Passing from the peach orchards w
come to the berry district, there ar
hundreds of acres planted to berrie
which I was told brought top marke
prices and which put their owners oi
easy street. Berries are not so dif
ficult to raise and they come whei
the farmer needs money most, witl
* some of us they would have to h
perennial, however, there is no rea
son why we in this section should no
give this a trial, it has paid where i
has been tried'and we have soil nex
to none.
The further into North Carolina w<
went the more impressed we becami
with the progressivenes of the Ok
North State. The roads for the mos
part are splendid, the farms look wel,
kept; houses fresh and attractive-ant
there is a general air of thrift anc
the intelligent application of business
iike methods in running the farms. ]
might remark here that my convic
tion is that the Automobiles wtucn an
responsible for the good roads ant
ithe circulation of The Progresssivi
iFarmer with its live staff has don<
a great work in that State and ifc
example is well worh emulating.
Leaving North Carolina we wen
ferried over the Roanoke River by j
very genial ferryman who convlncet
us thoroughly that his ferry was th<
safest and shortest route to Richmonc
his competitors advertisement to thi
Contrary, and theu after a mile oi
two of fair roads we commenced t<
get to roads that gave us fie speed
tsters fever, even he ladies caught th<
fever and when we would go at 30
35 and 40 miles and hold it for mile:
at a tme, we would feel a wave of re
sentment when we would come to ^
small h&miet with large signs "Spet
Limit 8 Miles" and it was with a sigl
of relief when we shook their dust ot
?ur tires.
?\.t Richmond we stopped severa
days taking in the points of interest
Monumental Avenue with its famoui
statues ut our own Southern Heroes
Battle Abit)', the splendid Confederal
Veterans Hmne, the beautiful parks
and the savage traffic Cops. The lat
ter were a thorn in the flesh and con
tinualVy would be bobbing up at un
expected times and places with menac
ing looks and sinister threats whei
we would innocently overlook theli
stop sign and find ourselves blockinj
thor traffic and surrounded by ve
hides and pedestrians all of whon
seemed bent on getting there.
Leaving Richmond Monday mornini
we struck the trail for Washington
a distance reputed to be 135 miles
but there was one thing that impjesa
ed me was the unreliability of intl
posts and the information you ge
from people as to distances. I becam
so skeptical that I would not even be
lieve my spedomeer for I knew it di
not register miles quick enough an
??n our return Journey it seemed t
Lave caught the spirit of the plac
and would not record the same mileag
over the same route traveled.
?TVe stopped at Fredericksburg, fo
dinner after passing through Spoti
syfraoia and other points of bistorl
interest connected with the war b<
tween the States. We found tb
Princes Ann Hotel a nice modern ht
tel with good dining room and sen
Jng a wholesome and appetizing rnea
Passing on from there we came t
Che hill country and the scenery w?
oeatitlful and we passed more point
of National interest the one of mo:
interest to us was the old Pohic churc
built by George Washington and tt
one attended by him ?)l of the latte
part of bis life. The church Is kej

tr
JI ting late we did not make the side
' trip to Mt. Vernon but went on tc
I Washington.
| We crossed the famous Potomac
- River into a beautiful park and then
I into the heart of the city, but my nar.
2j ative will lose its directness as 1
- cannot tell where we went or how
3 we got there but for half hour we chas[
ed from street to avenue and from
J( avenue to boulevard vainly searching
i, for a hotel in the city of hostelries
1 ^ but we were not in search for the
-1 ones John D. or Pierpont hang out
1 and we finally found ourselves pulling
up in front of the St. James hotel,
r, somewhere in Pennsylvania Avenue,
and on finding that we <;ould get ac
comodations we unpacked hoping that
s a nice room and comfortable quarters
' awaited us. The first disagreeable ex.
3, perience we had was there, the hotel
seems to be controlled by negroes
V who are not like our own colored
J people of the South, and I was told
1, with great pride by the beil boy that
f we were in "high society up there,'
i that Mr. Tolbert of South Carolina
1( was stopping there,". Wf did stay that
night in uncomfortable quarters but
3 the next day found that the HarringM
ton Hotel was vfery much more de3
sirable so we moved there for the
. rest of the time we spent at the Capi"l
tal.
We were sorry to part with .Miss
-j Hughes who left us and went to her
- home in Philadelphia.
The following day we commenced
r our homewiird jjourmev which was
i made successfully and with onlv a few
- difficulties. On the whole the trip
i was most interesting and at Washing.
ton, we met Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Page
? at Richmond, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
' Johnson and at Richmond too I recog
>. nized the genial Cop who kindly offer
ed to give me a lodging in the city
? station if I insisted on it by running
1 by bi? feigns.
e There wag one thing that was dis
tressing however and that was th<
d terrible condition of the crops. J
d few miles north of Raleigh and cleai
o oil up to Washington they had nol
e had rain in months and the corn was
e withering up the tobacco in places
entirely dead, the nest only havinf
r ft very few good plants but mostlj

c ton. for they have cotton even up t<
i- Petersburg, Vs., was very poor and ii
e places the stalks were shedding th<
>- leaves and only a few leaves on toj
r- showing what the plant was. As wi
I. came further towards home we notet
o the marked change in the crops aiu
is the very best after all in crops am

u' Graves In Old St David's Cemetery,
Cheraw.
d Just as you enter the cemetery at
.' the Church street gate to the left you
u' will see a brick mound, which is said
i to be the grave of Col. McArthur, a
. Brtish officer, who commanded the
s 71st Scotch Regiment, also known as
the Prince of Wales regiment, in Lord
f Cornwallls' army Hike Revolutionary |
f War.
| It was his regiment that used the
f St. David's church as a hospital in i
s 1780, where many of his soldiers died i
, of small pox. He commanded the in- i
i fantry of Tarletan's army at the battle I
r\f Pnurnonc and irflc SACOnd in COm- I
mand at the battle of Guilford. ]
As every student of engineering J
knows the magnectic needle constant, j
ly moves to the left. Notice the grave
, and see what was regarded hs east i
f in 1781 when he was buried-and com. <
. pare it with graves recently made i
ir near it. You will see that Instead of 1
t facing east as the other graves do, j
1 it is several degrees northeast. i
1 i Perhaps it has not occured to some
11 * I
j readers why graves always are made i
1 facing east The theory is that when! j
Christ comes the second time, he will 1
.' come from the East?and in the gene- l
5' ral resurrection the dead will rise fac- 1
I ing Him. (

I Mr. Zack Grant brought a bottle

containing a number of Boll Weevils ^
to the Chronicle office a few days

3 The county agent reports, , by the
e way, that Mr. Gaston saved perhaps
1 more money in 1920 than any other,
1 farmer in Chester County principally i
1 because of the fact that he planted S
"but few acres cf cotton." He ha3 ci
t now practically turned his place into t

Let's Make the Soath "The Land of !!
the Crape Myrtle"
All over the 8onth now, the blossoming
crape myrtles are adding to *
the beauty of the homes that are for-j li
tunate enough to have them. If you a
have no crape myrtles on your ground n
why not decide now to get some
sprouts from a neighbor this fall, or i
else order a few from some nursery- o
man? j a
As we havo aften said before, it any n
other section of the United States had
a virtual monopoly of a tree as beau-' a
tiful as the crape myrtle, and as eas-j
lly grown, that section wonld soon be- d
come famous as "The Land of Crape b
Myrtle." Why then should not tip ti
South make use of its opportunities r<
in this respect? The crape myrtle ti
will not flourish in the colder states'
north of us. It is one of God's spe. ft
:ial gifts of beauty to tne soutn; ana, u
io other flowering shrub or tree 1 e:
Dlooms for so long a period, has such|
i variety of colors and tints, or re- a
julres less care. hi
If only one crape myrtle sprout were
let out in every Southern farmer's 6
rard this fall, that action alone would bl
lot only help beautify each individual tl
lome but would also go far toward b<
naking the South "The Land of the si
>ape Myrtle." Is It not worth do- ct
... ' - I*
The Civic League has requested that p<
ve print the above article and ash
hat every property owner in Cheraw pi
lecure sprouts this Fall and plant one gi

IN THE COURTS
Cheraw Files Salt With Federal
Court Because tot Increase of
Rates.
A special to The State from
Charleston dated Aug. 13, says:
A suit has been filed in the United
States eastern district court by R.
E. Hanna of Cheraw' against the
Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph
company, arising out of the increased
rates which the telephone company
put into effect on April 1 The
suit was originally filed in the state
courts, but has been transferred to
the federal court. The plaintiff asks "
a judgment in the sum of $2,999 and
a permanent order of injunction restraining
alleged unlawful acts of the
defendant and requiring the defendant
to^render the duties imposed by
law; and also for a temporary injunction
restraining the defendant
from an alleged falling and refusing
to render the services called for in
the contracts entered into prior to
April 1, and which are claimed by
the plaintiff to be still binding. Citing
contracts entered into between
the town of Cheraw and the defendant,
particularly in regard to telephone
service between Cheraw and
Bennettsville and Cheraw and several
rural lines, the plaintiff alleges that
since April 1 of this year the defendant
has demanded and / collected
charges alleged to be unlawful and
has unlawfully attempted to coerce
pa'yment of them.
