"NEED OF TOWN"
"D. A. R," LETTER
Substitute
It was (and is) the intention of our ,
local D. A. R. to publish a letter each ,
week calling attention to "A Need of (
Our Town." j
The letter of this week was to bring ]
realization of conditions at our rail- |
road station. But the proposed writer j
when getting necessary information <
met such prompt, gracious offers < i
help toward remedying this special ?
need, that it is in a fair way to dis- ]
appear altogether. I
Under the direction of the Civic
League committee for improvement cf t
the station, the whole section force |
of five or six men will work during {
Saturday afternoon next, from 1 j
o'clock to 4:30. And it is hoped all ]
good citizens will lend aid, especially j
in supplying roots of Amour's Privet i
Hedge (eveiigreen) and of Crepe Myrtle.
I
The committee will no doubt, gladly f
enumerate other ways in which to 8
provo our public spirit and reduce
the needs of our town.
TO MOVE TO CHE RAW
Resident of Ohio May Come to State.
Cheraw, Feb. 20.?ttxeraw had the
pleasure of having in its midst last
week S. W. Moore, state horticulturist
of Ohio and supervisor of its pubic
grounds. Mr. Moore is considering
the advisability of moving to Cheraw
and engaging in business here as a
horticulturist and landscape gardener.
H-e spoke to the commercial peach
jgrowers in this eeotion while here,
telling them how to care for orchards
the year round, and how to market
to the best advantage. At night he
spoke to the members of the Civic
Tiuma n.n honntifvin** thfl town and Y
the home grounds. He gave rules to! ^
lay out drives and walks, told what j n
trees to plant, where to plant hedges, i
and stated that shrubbery should ^
serve only as a fram-e to the home. n
Much interest was manifested and "
many questions were asked. It is t
hoped that Mr. Moore will decide to
locate In Cheraw. Mr. Moore was one a
rfrf the speakers at the meeting of th< ^

THE WATER PRESSURE
Editor Cheraw Chronicle:
Mr. Smith took exception to what I
said about the water system in a re- (
;ent issu?e of your paper, and asked
me to "retract." On the other hand,
Mr. H. living in the west end of town,
sv&nts me to "give them hell and
wmething else;" Mr. P. said, "You
jcored them, it was all right;" Mr
Vf. said, "Give them some more;" Mr.
L said, "You have the backing of the
test people in town;" Mr. Mc. says
le wants to see some more of the
same stuff as we need it; Mr. G.
Rants me to "pay no attention to Mr.
smith." Many others expressed similar
views to me since my former let.
er appeared.
I should like to accomodate all of
Jiese people, but it is manifestly
impossible. A man cannot go north
ind south at the same time. I have
lothing to "retract," and what Mr.
Us "something else" is I do not
enow, nor do I deal in "hell." It is
leaven that I traffic in, heaven.
I did not expect to engage in a news ;
>aper controversy, but it seems to be
oreed upon me. Let me tirst of all
tssure Mr. Smith that I did not have
tim iu mind when I wrote, and so did
dm no "gTeat injustice." In fact,
never think of Mr. Smith except
vhen I see him, and that is not often.
! also wish to assure your readers
hat there was nothing personal in .my
ommunicatJon, as I told Mr. Smith
>efore his letter appeared. Mr. Smith
ias made a good superintendent, and
s a good man when he is not hot tinier
the collar but when he is hot he
orgets everything that he learned in
Junday School. Ask Mr. Eugene
ong. I had in mind the water supem
only, that was installed nine
ears ago?in Mr. Smith's absence, I.
ralieve, and in which I think the town |
tot stung.
Now let me take up Mr. Sixth's leter.
He takes my letter to himself.
)id he think I was "criticising" him?
Veil, the poor soul! He identifies
limstlf with the water system. I did
ot know that HE was IT. He says!
also criticised "the town council's j
ackbone." That is not true. I never
lentioned the town council. I said
the town's backbone." The board of
rade and the town council do things
a this town. So do individuals. I
m told that it was Mr. Caston and :
Ir. Stevenson personally who got usj
hp Sunday telephone service that we;
iave. One man on his own initiative
:ot us the early and the late train on \
he A. C. L. railroad. It
nan's independent work that got the
'oast Line's freight depot up tmvn.
nd the same man's work that kn>- J
he union station in the v est <m-<; of
own on the head and killed it. Put 1j
tad in mind neither the town council
inr the board of trade, nor any individual,
least of all Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith says, "As I am re-ponsi
de for the efficiency of the write"
vat&m " QIr>>vfk occnmna rh jnniifei.
>illty there must he something in tiv
'criticism" that hurts. "It is the
rounded bird that flutters" and "it
s the whipped dog that howls," and
t is the galled jade that winces."
rIowever, while his "responsibility"
n the matter was not in my mind. 1
im glad he told us of that fact
Mr' Smith quotes me as follow?:
There was no pressure on the water
' bpn the alarm was given, and hy tb^
1me that was put on the big barn an'1;
mntents were completely de-troyod;"
inri then Mr. Smith sivs this is "alt.
<olutely incorrect." He also says Mr
Thomas told him "that on this occasion
the pressure was splendid."]
fThere must have been occasions;
ivhen it was not). I have no reason
:o change my assertion. Mr. Gillespie,
VIr. Seymour and others assure me
lhat only a small stream came for :
long time with which they could do
nothing; and it was spoken around |
:hat someone had to go and put on
pressure. One who was at the Meiklejohn
mill fire says the/ the stream
lumped only about eight feet in front
jf the notzle, and for a time nothtncj
lould be done. When the pressure'
lame the fire department did splendid
work. Others tell me that at every
fire there is low pressure at first; an<'
that Mr. Smith goes down to the pump
and starts it whenever there is a fire
Any system that has to be watted up
ind coaxed in that way is not efficien'
I do not say this is Mr. Smith's fault*
hut I do say that it is the fault of the
system. Sumter, Camden, Greenwood;
and other towns have standpipes and
not faqtory tanks, and they need no j
fire engine for ordinary fires. When;
Sumter put in its water system thirt*
years ago, the pressure from the water
in the standpipe was so great that
it threw a powerful stream over any
building in town simply by attaching
the hosp to the hydrant. For years
they had no engine. They have them
now because they have skyscrapers.
Mr. Smith further says that "the
system! has been in operation near!'*
nine years and during all this time it
has sucessfully met every demand
that has been made upon it." This J
deny.

of garvity," and what "every school

D. A. R. Meeting.
The Old Cheraw's Chapter D. A. R.
was delightfully entertained at the P*
attractive home of Mrs. J. A. Sprulll on
the afternoon of the 17th. Vc
The Regent, Mrs. C. L. Prince, presided.
The subject of study was "Our
County" and the Roll Call was an. Vi
swered with names of county officials.
The following were elected alter- 1
natea to the Regent, Mrs. Prince, to
the National Convention in Washing- Ar
on in April: Mrs. E. W. Duval 1, Mrs.
J. A. Spruill, Mrs. W. F. Stevenson,
Miss Lottie Prince, Miss Hattie God- Vfi
frey and Mrs. E. H. Duvall.
The Chapter endorsed the candidacy
of Mrs. Wni. Reynolds of Winston. Hj
Salem for the office of President- Sc
General. All were much interested in Qu
the fact that a southern woman is
the strongest candidate for this die- Mi
tinguisbed position.
Mrs. L. A. Kerr gave a splendid Pr
paper on "The Duties and Powers of Hj
County Officials," and Mrs. E. W. Du- Se
vail told in an interesting way, of our

boy knows" about the flow of water "
from "an elevated tank." Let me rfc
state facts that Mr. Smith does not gr
know. If there were only ten gallons
of water in the tank, how much force
would that deliver at Mr. Hickson's
corner, and how much fire would tt
put out? We are assured that "the ra
tank was two-thirds full and the M]
pomp In operation." That may be
true, but that does not affect my Dc
contention. If the tank had been en.
tirely full and the pump runhing it
would have been all the same. We are
also told that the pressure is 50 w'
pounds to the square inch. That may
also be true, and still mean nothing
in this contention. "Every school boy Su
knows," but does Mr. Smith know
that there is a tremendous friction da
and that the farther the hydrant is lb
from the lank the less will be the
pressure? One of the principles of re
Hydraulics is that there is in a body
of water under pressure both a theoretical
and an actual flow. The actu- M
al flow is only about two-thirds of the
theoretical flow. The actual flow lessens
in force the farther you go from ar
the source of supply, so that property
in the outskirts of town has little or de
no protection from fire, while that in n'
the center of town has all protection
necessary. If one has to wake up, lei
dress, and go a mile and put on arti- or
ficial pressure before a fire can be se
put out, there is little hope for ail sii
outlying property in case of fire. But W1
But that is not Mr. Smith's fault. bj
Mr. Smith calls my letter "prittle- ?-v
prattle." (Phew, don't I feel funny!)
When Mr. Smith looked for me the
Friday after my letter appeared, he
"prattled" about libel and was willing
to fight and go to his funeral. He
ripped, snorted, fumed and cussed in tu
the presence of Mr. Eugene Long from X<

"LIVE AT IIOMEH
Clemson College, Feb. 21.?In a recent
Extension Circular of the A. and
M. College of Texas making farm
suggestions for 1?22 are found the
following paragraphs which every
farmer should read. The live-athome
doctrine is the same as that
preached over and over by the Extension
Service, but it can not be
preached too often for there are still
many converts to be made.
"The growing of sufficient food
products for the needs of the family
is one of the vital problems on the
farm. This may be accomplished, to
a Inrorc% oy!onf hv nlnntlncr fall win
W .i?.0V VOVVMV, "...
ter, and spring gardens large enough
to produce vegetables for at least two
meals each day during the growing
season as well as a sufficient supply
to meet the requirements for canning
and drying for the yearly needs
of the family. A home orchard
should be grown that will furnish
fruit either fresh, canned, dried, or
preserved as a part of each meal.
Thero should be at least fifty good
hens to supply meat and eggs for
family consumption; one or more
dairy cows, capable of supplying the
necessary amount of imilk and butter
and at clast three hogs to furnish
meat and lard for the year's supply.
Where practicable wheat, oats and
rye should be sown as cover crops,
winter pasturage, feed for livestock
and for market, v^hlle such feed
crops as corn, grain, sorghum, and
ha<j' should be grown for the home
feeds, as well as ultimate marketing
through livestock."
"It is recognized lhat with the
system of distribution and marketing
now in vogue, we are producing a
greater volume of certain crops than
we are able to market at profitable
prices. However, this does not necessarily
moan that these products
could not be grown more economically
or that the quality can not be improved.
It is doubtful whother we
will ever receive a price for staple
farm crops, such as corn and cotton,
sufficiently high to insure a profit
to the farmer, who, with his indi.
vidual labor, can only cultivate from
twenty to thirty acres, producing
probably fifteen bushels of grain and
about one-third of a bale of cotton
to the acre; consequently we should
direct our energies toward increased
acre production rather than tilling
or managing large acreages. That
acre production can be substantially
increased without (materially adding
to the cost of planting and cultivating
has been successfully demonstrated."
Balanced Farming and Good Busines
Demand Cotton Acreage
Redaction.
After setting forth these and other
suggestions and recommendations
the circular concludes with the following
regarding cotton acreage reduction.
'This program is not a plea for
V?/\ m/liiotinn in tllA QCTGclKG
but if the farmer doubts the advisability
of this program he has only to
consult the recent break in the cotton
prices, following the September
15 report of the Govern/nnent. The
trade expected a report of 40 percent
or below on the condition at the
time. When the Government report
showed 42.2 percent or 2.2 percent
more than the trade expected, or an
increase of 143,814 bales, within five
minu(tes of trading the price broke
200 points, a loss of $10.00 per bale
or a total loss of $65,370,000 on the
cotton crop of the South.
"Tt should be remembered that
there was sufficient acreage planted
to cotton in 1921 to have produced
a 12,000,000 bale crop under normal
conditions. If a 2.2 percent increase
could effect the price $10.00 per bale
.evidently, if a normal crop had been
produced, we would have seen 1921
cotton sold at possibly less than half
of what it is selling for today."
