Cheraw High Defeats BenuettsYlUet
Before a large and enthusiastic-,
crowd at the Marlboro Fair the Chet
raw Hi crumbled the Benueftsyille
eleven in an exciting.game^pt ^oot-.
ball by the decisive score of 25 Wy 1?:
Although outweighed by their Opponents
the Chcraw teapi enteredytbe
contest with the determinatiodt^to win
and that spirit prevailed throughout
the game.
Cheraw received the kick-off and
advanced the ball steadily down the
field to within twenty yards of the
goal line when Graham raced around
end for the first touchdown. During
the latter part of the firs|" quarter
after ta heavy attack upon' the Ben?
nettsville line, Duvall H. received the
ball and by a beautiful broken field
run carried the oval to within twenty
yards of the goal line. Here Ben.
nettsville put up a stubborn defens^
but on the third down Causey bucket
through the line for the second touchdown.
In the second quarter Bennettsville
flashed for a short while but Duvall
H. intercepted a foward pass and ran
fifty-five yards for a touchdown .The
first half closed with the scorp 19>.?o
0 in favor of Cheraw. ' .?
The second half opened by Bennettsville
attempting a desperatd *'aer: '
ial game in an effort to score. A long
foward pass was successfully executed
and a few downs carried the ball
across the goal line tot* their first
score. The try for goal was unsuccessful.
Encouraged by the success
of the pass, another was attempted
but this time it was again intercepted.
During the last quarter Bennettsville
was again successful in the
execution of a long foward'piss and
after a series of downs the pig-skin
was carried across the goal line.
Bennettsville kicked goal. The game
closed with Cheraw in .possession o,
the ball.

GRAVES IN ST. DAVID'S CEMETERY
M CHBBAW
The Confederate Monument has the
destinction of being the first Confederate
Monument erected in the'
'wbihld. It was unveiled in July 1867,
f^bout two years after the war closed.
The cost of the monument was about
one thousand dollars, a large sum to
be raised at that time, in Sherman's
path.
The moving spirit in raising this
money were Miss Josephine Pritchard (
and Mrs. Bettie Gooch McLeod. The
wording, unfortunately however, does
not show the real -reason for which ]
it, wafe ^frected." - It reads "Erected to ,
ttie memory, of "Those who fett at }
Cheraw"?w"hereas the real purpose
was to honor the Confederate sol- ,
diers from this community. .
There are about forty Confederate (
dead buried, around the monument. ]
Most/of-, these died in hospitals here, |
and all 'n^ere strangers.
tWdp-fi Joshua Hudson of Bennetts- ,
ville wag the speaker at the unveiling ,
On Mtly 10th, Memorial day, of each (
year, the Memorial exercises are held ,
at this Monument and though it has <
been over 55 years since the Civil
Wat''.'closed the number attending
thelse exercises does not decrease. j
The 'credit of erecting this Monu- ,
ment is due to the ladies of this j
community, who succeeded in their i
purpose under very adverse co: (
ditions. V 5

On account of unexpected adver- f

Mrs. Philip It. Lachicotte.
Special to The State.
Georgetown, Nov. 8.?The com
munity was deeply saddened Satur.
day at receiving the news of th<
death of Mrs. Philip R. Lachicotte
who died at her home on WaccamaVi
very unexpectedly Friday night. Mrs
Laohicotte was formerly Miss Mildred
Wells of Cheraw, and was mar.
ried to Mr. Lachicotte a few years
ago. Since coming to Georgetown
county she had endeared herself to
all who knew her, and her loss is
greatly deplored. She leaves her
husband and little son, to whom the
sympathy of the entire community
goes out in the time of averwhelming
bereavement. The funeral services
were held in the church of All Saints
it Waccamaw Sunday morning, conJucted
by the rector, the Rev. J. E
R. Galbraith, w^io was assisted by
? *- - U1~
LUti VCllCIitUlb laj-icuuci, ucujeiuiu
P. Fraser of Plantersville. The
V
steamer Comanche carried a large
number of relatives and friends
[rom Georgetown. The remains
vert' interred in the cemetery of All
Saints.
The foregoing account of Mrs.
i^achicott's death in the State was
ead with sorrow by her many
riends in Cheraw. As Miss Mildred
kVells she was known and loved by
Cheraw people. Thirty eight years
igo she was born here and made
his her home until she was m..?vit
our years ago.
Mrs. Lachicott was of a bright
lappy and attractive disposition and
vill be greatly missed by those who
tnew her.
Besides her husband and little son
ihe is survived by two brothers, E.
d. Wells of Darlington and H. E.
.Veils of Columbia and three sisters,
drs. Wm. Ballenger of Greer, Mrs.
5. B. Huntley of Cheraw and Mrs.
Cugene McGregor of Columbia.
Death of Jno. T. McNair.
The town was shocked Wednesday
noming to learn of the death of Mr.
Tohn T. McNair, which occurred in
Atlantic City, N. J., Monday night,
n his seventy-seventh, year.For
many years Mr. McNair was
>ne of Cheraw's prominent citizens
ind leading merchants and was well
cnown throughout the State.
In 1861, Mr. McNair, then a mere
ioy, enlisted in Maj. J. C. Coit's B
ery and served with this distinglished
organization until its surrenler
at Greensboro, N. C., in April,
865.
Mr. McNair left Cheraw in 1896 and
ngaged in business in Norfolk. He
ater retired from active business and
nade his home in New York City,
ait retained large business interests
n and around Cheraw and spent a
arge part of his time in the town
there he had a large circle of friends
He is survived by his wife, who
vas Miss Mary Strathy of Toronto,
iartada, four sons and one aught^r
U.hol, Stuart, Gordon and Douglass
md Mrs. C. H. Weber of Richmond,
'a. Mr. McN'air was the uncle of
Idmund M. and Jerome V. Wilson, of
Columbia.
Sow Oats This FalL
Thousands of dollars go out of the
:ounty every year for seed and feed.
According to the 1920 census there
tre 4,487 farms in the county. Of
hese farms 1894 are operated by
iwners an managers and 2693 by
enants. On these farms 4135 acres
tre planted in oats and 83,394 bu. are
larvested, an average of not quite
me acre to the farm or not quite
.wo acres to the farm operated by
>wner or white farmer. Evidently
jreat many farmers do not sow oats
it all. Every farmer who keeps live
stock 6hould for the sake of the
stock grow some oats.
There are thousands of dollars pong
out of the county each year for
seed and feed oats and now under
;>oll weevil conditions wj can't arffird
:his as we can grow oats cheaper
than we can grow cotton and buy
Lhem. A good plan for every farmer
who wishes to grow his own
seed at the same time grow the largest
yield is to get two bushels of
Pedigreed Appier Oats and two bushels
of Pedigreed Fulghuin oats and
plant an acre to each variety for
seed. If they are sown on good land
a yield of 75 to 80 bu. from the two
acres may bo expected.
In this county 83.301 bu. of oats
were harvested from 4135 acres. Ii
high yielding varieties had been sown
there would have been at least thrc<
times the number of bushels harvested.
It is folly to buy poor seed tc
save money. The continued droughl
isis causing a delay in the sowing ol
oats but it will rain some day so gel
your seed and be ready to put them
in when the weather suits.
The oat crop is much cheapei
made than a corn crop.

The case of the United States
against W. E. Duvall, A. L. Latta,
- J. 0. Raloy, D. L. Tillman, J. \V.
Covington and W. E. Reid, on charges
of violating the migratory b:
e treaty act in that the defendants shot
wood duck or summer duck, whereas
a treaty had been made with
3 Canada to prohibit the shooting of
this fowl for a period of five years, i
Testimony for the United States
t was to the effect that the men had
been on a party and some of them
were in a boat with a summer duck
t that had been killed and feathers
were found in the vicinity. The defendants
claimed that they had not
1 killed any ducks but admitted they |
had shot at some without hope to
kill them.
r The jury was out only a few min.
utes and returned a verdict of not
guilty. Sol Harrell and Henry Ellis

The "Story Hour" instituted by
' the Mothers Club for the children
under 12 years of age in our town,
held its first meeting ladt Friday
i afternoon at the school house. In
every way the "Hour" was a marked
success, cspeciall/ in point of num.
Kts amending and the evident de
light of the children.
Mrs. W. T. Thrower was the story
teller for this meeting. Her ability
to tell stories in a way that charms ,
I and thrills, as well, as instructs the ,
children, is well known.
Possibly* the greatest tribute to .
Mrs. Thrower's story telling on Friday
evening was the- beautiful behavior
of the children throughout
the hour. They sat intently listen,
ing a3 Mrs. Thrower's words and 1
' manner carried them through the 1
land of Fairies, Godmothers, Princ. 1
es, Princesses and Palaces and
brought them back to earth again, '
sending them home delighted and
thrilled at the end of the "Hour."
The mothers are to be congratulated
on the fine idea and the selection
of Mrs. Thrower as the one to
launch the Story Hour.

WEAK BLOOD IS A REAL BARRIER
Growing Children Often Need Gude's
Pepto.JIangnn.
]
Some children grow too quickly?it
saps their strength. They lapse into
careless, desultory habits, or de.
velop a shrinking attitude. Their
faces look pinched,
i The blood becomes overtaxed by
too rapid growth; and poisons fron
the system take the place of strength
giving red corpuscles in the blood,
t Red corpuscles are those little red
particles tnat swim in Diooa ana give
its color. Gradually that child loses
interest in its play.
Poor blood needs the building that
: the ilron in Gudd's Pepto-Mangan
gives to weakened blood. Gude's
Pepto-Mangan enriches the blood by
Increasing the number of red corpus- <
cles, and restores the blood by driv- t
ing out the poisons. When the re. I
vived blood gets to work, the appe- 1
tite becomes what a growing child's 1
should be. Your druggist ias Gu le's i
Pepto-Mangan in liquid tablet
. form. The name "Gude's Pepto-Mao
gan" is on every package. Advertisement.

51,000,000 Ingram Production of
Ibanez Film Due Here?Marks N
N'ew Epoch for Screen
The long-awaited Rex Ingram production
of "The Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse" Is coming to the
"Playhouse, Bennettsville,, Phursdaiy,
Friday and Saturday, Nov. 17, 18 and
19. This? is the picture that cost
Metro $1,000,000 to make, and, from
all accounts the $1,000,000 was well
spent, as critics agree that all other
efforts at production on a grand scale
have been surpassed and record runs
have been made in New York, Chicago,
Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Los *
Angeles and other cities where the
picture has been previously shown.
Fifty principals and 2,500 extras
were engaged in the filming of the
photodrama, an entire French village
d.iu ian eiauuraie uuautrau wcic ciccted
to be destroyed under the artillery
bombardment of the. German Invaders,
and more than 125,000 tons of
masonry, steel, lumber and furniture .
were used in creating backgrounds
that are said to reproduce with absolute
fidelity the shifting panorama
of the story.
The appeal of the story itself ha9
\
already been proved through the success
of the hoveF by Vicente Blasco
Ibanez, upon which the photodrama
is founded. Its sale throughout the
world runs into millions, but millions
more will probably have It revealed
to them ,tbe first time through
the medium of the screen production.
This production is reported to have
followed faithfully the epic tale of
