They need it and should have it nroperly guided and supervised, they do not get it in a legitimate wa' they will seek it through other channels. Therefore a place where our young people can ineei, ana entertain in various ways is not a luxury. Indeed to my mind it is an asset. A community hall which is a common meeting ground for a town, is a* f"d?otion of a live, progressive, alert -orir.'mftr A community hall can 4 o constant use. and need no he a -dace for occasional entertainments. Dances, plays, lectures and all organizations can hold their meetings here. It would be the focufc of the social life of the town. The Influence of amusement upon character is inevitable. Recreation is an Influence in developing Christian o^arrtoter if wisely directed. The responsibility of providing facilities for amusement for our young people is a moral duty that w* cannot evade. However it need-not be a place merely for our young people but for the older ones as well. For instance, how dosr'rable an attractive two story building, centrally located, would be the lower floor to be used for entertainments of various .kinds, and the upper to be used by the men'* organizations. How soon such a place could be nrovided if some of our live men's organizations were to become interested. Indeed some of our most progressive men are k?enly interested aleadv, and may came forward with the plans to provide such a building We have no desirable place of the kind, for who shall say how much longer our town hall will remain safe, if it is so now? The cooperation of everyone irequested, for our young people ofj today are our citizens of tomorrow: it is their welfare we seek. o Ted Stayed at Home. The Darlington High School play entitled "When Ted Came Home" advertised to show here on last Friday night under the auspices of the Cheraw High School, did not "put In" an appearance on account of the heavy rains on last Friday. The troupe was to have come by automobiles but found the ruads Impassable so gave up the trip. It is hoped they can come on some future date. Boll Weevil Picture Water Boun The advertised Boll Weevil Moving Picture to have been shown here on last Tuesday did not arrive on account of high water and bad roads between Bennettsvillo and Cheraw. It seeins the picture is being taken from place to place by auto and did not start for Cheraw until after the trains had run. A number of farmers were in town and were disappointed In not seeing the picture.' Death of Mrs. Win. Spears. Mrs. Wm. Spears, of near Clio ir Marlboro county, who was a native of Cheraw and was Miss Ellen Powell j before her marriage, died on last Monday after a long illness. She was about 62 years old. Many of the older citizens remember and admired Mrs. Spears and will learn with sorrow of her passing. She was the! aunt of Messrs. W. T. and Henry Powell of this place. Moore-Reld. A surprise wedding of much interest to their friends Here took place at the home of Mr. J. 0. Raley at 6 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Miss Lucile Moore became the bride of Mr Walter E.

The following essay was awarded' first prize by the judges of Cheraw Drug Co. Calendar Contest: t The Signing of the Federal Constitution. By Miss Pollv Harrall Before me hangs the picture of the Signing of the "Federal Constitution. Gathered in this historic room; in which the Declaration of Independence had been signed eleven years previous, were some of greatest men our country has ever known.. We fairly gasp when we think of the Important task they had to accomplish. They held the future in their hands. On each face was pictured the realization of the importance of the occasion. From their countenance it seems as if some heartily approved of the constitution, while others bitterly qpposed it. The following is a list of some of those present at the Convention: George Washington, Renijainrtn Franklin. James Madison. Charles Pinckney, Robert Morris, John Rutledge, and Alexander Hamilton. These with many other distinguished men make an imposing picture in their colonial costumes of bright colors, with the six flags of our country gracefully suspended in the background. We are justly proud of all ct i flags, the flag of Bunker Hill, the, Rattlesnake Flag, the first American flag raised at Cambridge, the second Naval Flag raised in 1777, the Naval Flag, and the Fort Moultrie or Sergeant Jasper's Flag. We South Carolinian's swell w*\h pride as we see the Fort Moultrie Flag especial ly, and think of the gallant soldier who so heroically risked his life that this flag might continue to wave. These noble patriots met in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. This Convention was the culmination of manjv, many hodrs of arduous thought and careful judgment, ine constitution contained seven Articles and some amendments. The Convention decided that the new government would begin when nine s'au-' . had agreed to the plan. When the Convention broke up Franklin pointed to a picture of the sun and said. "A6 I have been sitting here all these weeks. I have often wondered whether yonder sun is rising or setting. Rut now I know that it is a rising sun." William E. Gladstone said. "The American Constitution is. as far as I can see, the most important work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man." .lohn C. Calhoun said, "The training of the Constitution was not only directed by our wise and sagacious men. but also bv that kind Providence which has so often and so signalh disposed events in our favor." A- our forefathers honored and revered this Constitution, so the men of our coun j try today have shown their loyalty; and faith to the same by givine their lives in the World War for the rights of man. For imore han one hundred and fwenty-five years, this (um-Ptutior* has been in operation. Dnrinr tb** Mrr*'. wo have grown from a nation of four million people to one of on? h"ndr~d mil I'm a union of thirteen feeble states into a groat' nation of forty-eight states. T same constitution, framed in f has served us wonderfully well air' is still strong, just, and efficient. N wonder then that, when we look upon a picture which represents the work and inspiration of our forefathers, we catch tho spirit. "Long May Our Land Be Bright With Freedoms Holy Light." o Little Chas. Bruner suffered a painful accident on Monday when he was struck by a car driven by Mrs. W. L. Stubbs. It seems the little fellow was riding on the rear of a buggy, near the Baptist church corner, when he decided to get off. He jumped to. the ground directly in front of a car being driven by Mrs. W. L. Stubbs) and was knocked down before the car could be stopped. No bones were broken but painful bruises were suffered. He is reported ki proving. Rev. Wm.

The cost of this material delivered to Columbia, S. C., including e cost of packing, cartridging, loading freight, etc., is approximately 0V6 ' cents per pound. An order will probably be made up in South Carolina ' and the method of ordering will be e the same as in the case of shipments ? from Sparta, Wisconsin. 3 The (material is packed in 100-po.ind n cases, and not more than 1000 pounds p will be sold to one farmer.

CDear Sir: Next week the General Assembl) inters upon what is hoped to be tlu Inal week of it's work. This wil nake several weeks overtime with jut extra pay to the members. Th< concensus of opinion among- ?h' nembers. is that the beginning mad< n tax reform is the outstanding ac :om/plishment. Inheritance, gasolim ind increased corporation taxes an low the law of the land. An ineonv ax and motion picture tax appeal :ertain of being ratified and appro1 iAr The hope is that all of these vill lighten the burden on visiblr iroperty which is now so heavil.axed. The approaching weetf will deternine whether the constitutional hantre giving the General Assembl.i ?ower to classify property and fi.x l different millage on defferent clasps of property will be submitted tc he people. The fate of the hydro-electric and uxury tax bills will also be determined. Time for the payment of taxes has teen again extended by large majorties in the House and Senate even vcr the Governor's veto. By way of reduction the House has ut the State appropriation bill iround a million dollars, Nearly very department came in for a lash. Tt is probable that the Senate fill increase the appropriation some fhat, although some of the members maintain that in their opinion the ienate will make even further relation?. It seems to be certain, owever, that some of the items reuested by the State Department of .'ducation may not be as great as ast year for the reason that last year here was appropriated money for omie deficits of the previous year in ddltion to the current needs. According to the estimates made n the House program, if carried hrough in toto, the State levy would e reduced from twelve to five mills. )ur County levy will be reduced proiably two mills or somewhere round fifteen per cent. It is my pleasure to state that the most destructive blow ever aimed at ducation, especially to education in ,'hesterfield County, was successfully net in the House of Representatives ,nd victory was with us. The partiular bill was one to repeal an act ntitled an act to guarantee a seven months term to needy rural schools, "his is State aid to rural schools, and nto the State fund Chesterfield Couny pays about five thousand dollars nd the State in turn spends about orty thousand dollars in this County o carry out the terms of the act "he figures are not secret for they /ere read time and ugain on the ioor of the House, and it was show* /here so many Counties were payine n thousands of dollars into the fund nd getting in many instances 1! r nothing back. The argument was hat it wasn't fair for all of thies*ither Counties to be educating childrc n other Counties when they we** iow loaded with taxes and needed ho money in their own schools. Our rgument was that it would be ackward step to abandon he proposition of taxing wealth where we ind it and educating children where hey are. It seeded for a while that he proponents of the measure might /in out, and I understood from Sen' or Laney that they had a strong nllowing in the Senate, so we Repreentatives from the poorer Counties /hich were benefiting front the fund /ere feeling mighty nervous. A litle personal experience of the writer bout this time was very encouragng. "Was talking with a Represenative front Charleston County, and 'harleston County pays into this und about forty thousand dollar? * * - I 1, ?nn/lor thn AC*t .11(1 Rtiis UiU'ft liu am ......... nd this Representative said to me: Wannanmker, the State has done a ;reat deal for Charleston, and as yon ell me that the passage of this bill Fire Sunday Morning.

Independent of the fact that "Listen To Me" carries an excellent company of artistic cast supported by a youthful chorus that can dance and sing, an exquisite display of scenic splendor, marvelous novelties, gorgeous costumes, and an absorbing fantastic story beautifully unfurled, is the reality that its score of musical gems is a theme of critical admiration. "Listen To Me" has been landed broadcast by all. Some have adored its spectacular wonders, others have admired the lavish arr^v of scenery and costumes, others highly praising the cast and chorus, while many have been thrown into ecstasy over the beautiful fantastic stow, bu* nil have worshipped the score of etherial nmisical gems.
