"NEED OF TOWN"
"D. A, R." LETTER
? ^
The Advantage of a Community lfall
for Our Town.
Young people crave amusement.
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.

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

found the ruads Impassable so gave
up the trip. It is hoped they can
come on some future date.

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.

' Cleffuson College, Feb. 28.?The Ex.
^ tension Service has just been advised
11 that there is 300,000 pounds of picric
f 1 acid available from Edgewood, MaryI

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. Deposits
>f, must be made to cover the shipments
n! desired in the farmer's local bank,
subject to draft of Mr. C. M. Hall, A<
countant, and Extension Service
:~j the county agent notified.
1 ! This will perhops be the last order
e for picric acid placed by the Extenv
sion Service as freight rates from
e New Mexico, where there is a large
191 quantity of this material, are almost
r prohibitive. The shipment from: Edge^;
wood. Maryland, will be made soon
0 after the first of April and the material
will be on hand and available for
use during the summer.

LETTER FROM
STATPS CAPITAL
March 4, 1922.
Editor Cheraw Chronicle,
Cheraw, S. 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.
