MORE FEDERAL AID
FOR CHESTERFIELD
Hope to Build Section of Road in
County.
Prospects for the construction of
the section of the Washington-Atlanta
highway in Chesterfield county that
has not been rebuilt to conform with
the other sections of this road in the
state appear to be much better now.
A stretch of about 30 miles in that
county has been giving considerable
trouble this year and efforts to get
the county to reconstruct the tsretch
have been without result, it is said.
Yesterday Charles H. Moorefleld, state
highway engineer, addressed a letter
to G. W. Duvall, chairman of the Chesterfield
county commission informing
him of the action of the state highway
commission alloting an additional
$2d,000 of federal aid to be
used on this road in Abe coutny. If
the county matches this sura, there
will be available $40,000 and this will
reconstruct nearly nan or me <ju
miles.
If the county matches this $20,000
It is very probable that more federal
aid can be procured from the new appropriation
to be applied on the remaining
stretch. Highway authorities
and travelers are in hopes that
the section in Chesterfield can be reconstructed,
as it is said to be the
worBt link of the highway in South
Carolina.
In Saluda county a four mile stretch
remains to be completed and the highway
commission has allotted $6,000
federal aid to this project. With
$6,000 from the county this four mile
stretch can be put in excellent condition,
the department believes. When
this section is completed the road
from Columbia to Augusta will be
finished and will one of the best highways
in the state.

WEEKLY COTTON LETTER.
By Savannah Cotton Factorage Co.
(All inquiries answered promptly.)
In our Coton Letter of October 18th
we advised everyone to margin their
cotton to safe figures and hold for
higher prices. January contracts in
New York closed that day at 17.80.
^ The same month closed today at 19.14
^ and we expect to set still higher figures
by Tuesday. November 1st
While fhe railroad striki has not
been definitely settled, it is reported
that not more than 25^c of the work,
ers will really go out. This means
w- that business will not be paralyzed,
and the strike will probably be of
short duration.
The Ginners' Report to October 18th
was published at 10 o'clock this morn
ing as follows:
Ginned to Oct. ISth
1921, 5,477,397 bales.
1920, 5,754,582 bales.
1919, 4.929.104 bales.
1918, 6,811,351 bales.
1917, 5,573.606 bales.
1916, 7,303,183 bales.
1915, 5,708,730 bales.
1914, 7,619,749 bales.
Private estimates have been around
5,500.000 to 5,700.000 bales, and today's
official figures showing only 5,477.647
bales ginned had a Bullish effect on
the market. New York futures advanced
sharply, closing steady, 71 to
85 points up.
In view of the fact that exports, do^
mestic mill takings and all other statistics
are Bullish, we feel it our duty
to advise owners of cotton to hold at
least a portion of their stocks for
* prices above 20 cents.

chrysanthemums was placed just in

uaunru uu uutu aiuco ami a ivw ui
lighted candles along the rail of the
choir loft which showed above the
trelils made a wonderful background
for the wedding scene. On both ends
of the Chancel rail were white columns
about six feet high, capped with
baskets, artistically filled with white
and yellow chrysanthemums. Half
way from the door to the alter an
arch spanned the aisle in which swung
two gates made of material which
matched the trellis mentioned above.

Fire Destroys Home of B. F. Pegues.
Early this (Thursday) morning Mr.
B. F. Pegues lost his home and entire
contents by fire. Mrs. Pegues was
away on a visit and when awakened
by someone outside Mr. Pegues found
the house almost entirely enveloped
in flames and only managed to save
a trunk and some few pieces of silver.
The origin of the fire is unknown
but when first seen by neighbors it
was burning the roof of the dining
room on the opposite side of the
house where Mr. Pegues was sleeping
The fire department were a little
slow in responding to the call and
were handicapped by the pressure en.
gine on the truck being out of commission.
'
It was with difficulty that the house
of H. W. Wannamaker on the lot
adjoining was saved. ,
Mr. Pegues had $4000.00 insurance
on his house and $1 ."00.00 on his furniture
which covers only a small ,
part of his loss.
Auction Sales a Success.
On Wednesday Oct. 19th a number
of small farms were offered for sale
at auction by Mr. J. B. Dundy. About
six farms containing a total of 35
acres were sold averaging about $200.
per acre.
On Tuesday of this week Mr. S. T.
A. McMunus offered a number of
business lots located in front of the
A. C. L. freight depot at auction and
sold 10 averaging $700 per lot.
Both sales are considered successes
and were conducted by Crosland-Ty.
son Realty and Auction Co. of Bennettsville.

CLOGGED BLOOD
WITHERS THE BODY
Workers Sick and Weak from Exertion
Take Glide's Pepto-Mangan
Men and women who toil, either .
physically or mentally, use up energy.
When they overwork they use up more
energy, and sometimes the blood gets
in a run-down condition. Without
rest the blood cannot get back to
normal so that it becomes clogged
with waste matter from1 over-exertion.
The clogged blood virtually withers
the body. The strained looks on pale
faces, the thin, bloodless arms, the
sunken cheeks and necks, the deadtired
feeling, are the results of stale
blood depriving the system of lifegiving
oxygen.
Workers go to the drug store and
get Gude's Pepto-Mangan when they
feel weak and run down. They take
it in either liquid or tablet form. That
makes the blood rich and red and
drives out tue poisons. Life-giving
oxygen, carried by the little red cells,'
renews the strength and builds up the
entire system. Look for the name
"Gude's Pepto-Mangan" on the package.

Be prepared another year.
Tis one thing can't be forgotten
That more grain you'll have to sow
There's pay in other crops than cotton ?
Those other crops you'd better grow.
j
Plan right now to do more fencing
Try your best at home to live
The situation's So convincing
Your time and talent you must give.
Resolve this day to do much canning
Of your produce in '22. .
Now's the time to do your planning
It will brfng success to you.
' .a
Start an orchard without delay,
November's the proper time, you see
Let fruit and profit come your way
A source of income, soon 'twill be

Ever co-operate with your neighbor
Help him plan to dio his best
It will save both time and labor,
Plan to give Billy Weevil a rest /

Make your home a place of beauty
Let "King Cotton" take a seat
Grow food crops?for 'tis your duty
To grow such crops as Billy can't

To the South's great fleecy staple crop
You cannot say "Good-by"
Grow what you can, but do not drop
Your plan to diversify.

His day Is past and gone
