TALL fEI)\K 3IEET!N(J.
That was a gay and lively banc
tall cedars, hopeful .nt4hap?', ihn
left here Thursday afternoon on
special train bound for I'ageland. Th
noise of the train did not drown th
noise of the boys (for tall cedarisr
makes old men boys againl as the
planned what they would do to th
candidates or "sapplings" to giv
them a hearty and whole-souled wel
come into Cheraw Forest No. 71, am
make them fully realize and appre
ciate the lessons and the worth o
cedarism. Fifty men left Cheraw o:
this train, among them being a fev
from Bennettsville. On the way it
the members rapidly increased a
each station. And when Pageland wa
grached there were nearly ninet;

^ mined to give some other fellow th
time of his life, or to see that he go
it. There should be no slights o
omissions when the good things in th>
ceremonial were to be divided out
There were fifty-ope candidates. Thi
gave nearly two cedars to each sap
pling, and of course under such favor
able circumstances the very best ii
the order could be done for eac!
candidate and no one was disappoint
fed.
The train arrived at Pageland a
4 P. M., and The Forest marched ti
~ the school house'(think of a fores
marching!) where, in the bigges
gudiorium in the county, the cere
monial was staged. The first degrei
was given immediately after the ian
didates were prepared; and then cam
the street parade and public stunts
This was an object lesson to show th
public, especially masons who w 1neitber
cedars nor sapplings. wha
they were missing by not conking it
where "the water is line;"
One of the principal tenets o
ma'sonry is charity. Therefore ;
rooster was put up ut auction am
knocked down at Four Dollars and :
collection was taken up. for the bene
y tit of the Ladies' Aid Society of tin
, Baptist Church of Pageland. Tan
Society prepared the 6 o'clock dinne
that was "some dinner." If anyon:
of the readers of the Chronicle wan
a good square meal, let them ?;<> t<
PagelancK and it will come to them ii
"good measure, proic<,d down, am
running over." with everything tha
and market affords.
Yes, there were after dinner speech
es and smokes. A1 King of Charles
ton, District Representative, was her<
and took a very active part not onl\
in the ceremonial but at the table an<
i^ speechifying. Mayor Meiklejohn
the head of the Forest, and Mayo;
Arant of Pageland made talks; so die
L. L. Parker of Pageland. G. A. Sher
rill and L. C. Wannamaker. A unani
, mous expression of thanks and appro
ciation was accorded the ladies fo;
their splendid 'dinner. '
At 7 the second degree was put or
at the school house and lasted unti

candidates a good time, and by th<
way, some candidates in the back rov
enjoyed the kaleidoscopic variation*
of soenerv. We feel sure that th;
Forest cannot be accused of beinf
indifferent or remiss.
At 9:30 P. M. the special train was
on its return trip, and everybody stil
,, happy. It was a great day for Cedarism.
So struck was one of the cundi
dates with the order that he doclarcc
he would go two hundred miles to set
' the ceremonial staged again. We fee
sure that many of the candidates vii
be at the next one, to be held in Cite
raw the latter part of June, and w lj
see that each candidate* wiil "get hit

Chief Jacobs Captures Auto "Suitcher"
and Car.
li
Quite a little interest has been tak-1
en here in the capture of an autonio-1
v bile "snitcher" and a big Packard
car "cabbaged" by him from a Mr.
, O'Hara at Ocala, Fla., on last Mona
i
v | day.
( Chief Jacobs followed a hunch that
e all was not right about the big Packard
driven by a rather dilapidated
(1 looking individual with two negroes
riding with him as passengers. He
stopped the party on the street and
r after questioning them decided to lock
v them up. With some help from others
j, he found out by wire that the car
was stolen from near Ocala, Fla., and
that $100.00 reward was offered.
The owners wired to hold car and
man until their arrival.
Tuesday, Chief Jacobs liberated the
t negroes, whom he found knew nothing
of the car's being stolen and were
s only riding to Detroit from Savannah
where the man with the car met
them and offered them the ride if
they would pay for. soine gasolimj.
- On Wednesday the "snitcher", who
t calls himself Arthur Stonebank and
i says his home is in Wilmington, Del.,
gave the town another sensation when
he "broke jail" by tearing up part of
. the tlooring of our calaboose. He
) made a "fatal error" however by
. waving goodbye to some men workt
ing nearby who reported his escape
to the police. Chief Jacobs got on 1
his trail and in a very short time;
overtook the escaped "snitcher" near j
, the John Hilkson place across the'
river. He brought him back to Cheraw
and later took him to the jail in
Chesterfield for safe keeping.
The men from Florida are expected
, here this morning.

A High Class Entertainment.
Cheraw was singularly fortunate i
having the privilege of hearing th
Recital given on Tuesday evenim
April 18th, by Miss Evelyn Smith, abl
assisted bv Miss Charlotte Mathev
son and Mr. R. L. Sumwalt.
To say that Miss Smith measure
up. to the expectations of her friend
scarcely expresses it, tho' that alon
would be a fine tribute to the youn
musician, who seemed even to sui
pass her usual exquisite rendering (
selections from well known compos
ers of this and other periods. He
brilliant technical proficiency an
wonderful delicacy of touch, combir
ed with erace of manner and unusui
pofce, made the occasion a real plet
sure from start to finish. ,, Her rar
mental training was displayed in th
playing of each selection without th
use of notes?including the three fu
movements of the Schumann Sonat
which was a feat in itself.
Miss Mathewson, a young singer (
pleasing personality, had a clea
flexible voice whose bird.like qualit
of trilling sweetness, especially o
the higher note-, captivated her lira:
ers at once, and held them through
out the entire programme, lie
breath control was truly remarkab!
in the redition of many beautifi
songs which were greatly enjoyed?
Mr. Sumwalt. like Miss Smith, neve
disappoints. Each tine one hear
him, he strengthens hi* reputation a
a violinist by his sure technique an
marvelmisly clear and beautiful torn
surpassing most of the professional
in our Chatatiqua and Lyceum eoures.
His courteous generosity in rr
sponding to the various demand
made upon his splendid talent ha
endeared him to Cheraw audience
who always greet him with pleasur
and enthusiasm.
The general feeling in regard to th
evening's entertainment might be <-n
pressed in the words of the genth
man who pronounced it "genuine!
high class as well as first (lass i
every respect." ?

The home of Mrs. E. F. Mulloy was
the setting for an unusually lovely
wedding on the evening of April 24th,
when Miss Kathleen Mulloy Murray
became the bride of Mr. A. Hunter
Page.
Only members of the respective
families and a few close friends were
present, the occasion being marked
by a beautiful simplicity.
Receiving in* the hall were Mrs. P.
A. Murray, Jr., and Mrs. Bessie Powe
Page, who ushered the guests into
the parlor which was a bower o!
lovliness in its bridal array of pure
white 1 lias, white sweet peas and
white American Beauty roses. An
exquisite wedding bell of white roses
was suspended over the improvised
altar, behind which the officiating
clergymen, Rev. P. A. Murray and Dr.
Watson B. Duncan took their places
promptly at 7 o'clock.
To the strains of the Weddin
March from Lohengrin, played by
Mrs. Herbert Wannamaker, the two
flower girls, little Misses Cora Godfrey
and Sara Page Murray, slowly
inarched to position.
They were followed by the Dame of
Honor, Mrs. John Womack, very
handsome in a costume of Orchid
organdie with picture hat to match.
Her flowers were pink roses.
Next came the groom supported by
his best man, Mr. F. T. Waddill. and
last the little bride, dainty and sweet. I
leaning upon the arm of her brother.
Mr. P. A. Murray, Jr.
She was never more beautiful than
in her going-away.gown of blue crepe
with trimmings and hat of soft* harmonizing
gray, and the finishing touch
given by a boquet of superb Bride
roses.
At the conclusion of the impressive
ceremony the guests were shown in"
to the dining room by Mrs. W. B.
Duncan and Mrs. J. H. Kinsey. Here
was another veritable bower "of beau
'ty with its color scheme of pink aml|
green tastefully carried out in a prolusion
of pink roses, sweet peas and
delicate tracery of vines. Delicious
cream and cake were served by Misses
Margaret Godfrey and Nancy Wannamaker.
After viewing the many pretty and
useful wedding gifts, the interesting
privilege of signing ones name in the
Gride's Hook was presided over by
Miss Carrie Godfrey.
Mrs. Page is the very attractive
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. P. A. Murray,
who are well known in South
Carolina.

Editor Cheraw Chronicle:
The following is an editorial from r
the News and Courier on the above n
timely subject. California fruii growers
had been getting j cents a pound n
for their prunes. They organized the r
Cal. Fruit Growers Exchange and are 11
getting 18 cents a pound, in New b
York. That shows what organization v
will do. ^
J. S. HARTZELL. a
f
'There has never been anything ir ^
the history of agriculture in this
country to compare with the way the f
cooperative marketing movement ha? ^
been sweeping the South during the '
nnQt vpsp Thp ninmaien now in I
progress to sign the cotton growers of c
the South into ;i great cooperative t
association lor the selling of their c
product marks the culmination of this t
movement. The reports published in 1
the news columns from day t*> day *
show that a considerable number of <
counties; in South Carolina have al- i
ready secured the full number of bales
assigned as their quota of the total
necessary to make the assoqiation ]
effective in South Carolina. Gover- i
nor Cooper ha3 issued a proclamation j
setting aside April 2.i as "Cooperation 1
Day" in this State and calling upon i
the business man to devote that day <
to assisting in every way pos.-ible in <
securing the signatures of cotton '
growers to the cooperative market- 1
ing contracts, in the confident belief <
that "such a system of selling will t
be of great benefit to our producers <
and indirectly to all of our people." f
Cooperative marketing is not an 1
experiment but a thoroughly tested '
practice which has been followed with *
the largest benefits both in Kuropc
and in America, notably in California
by the growers of vegetables and cit- '
rus fruits. In Kentucky and the 1
adjacent territory of-the Burley tobacco
country the growers of tobacco (
last year set out, under the advice 1
and direction of .Mr. Sapiro, who has I
become me recognized auinuruv
this question through his work In
California, to reorganize and re form
the marketing of Burley tobacco.
Their efforts up to this time have
i succeeded far beyond anything they
were promised or led to expect and
whereas last year Burley tobacco
sold at prices which spelled bankruptcy
for the growers, this year such
of the crop as has been sold has
brought a very comfortable profit indeed.
Not all the crop has yet been
marketed, this being considered in
advisable, but the growers have demonstrated
their ability to dominate
the situation, so long as they are
governed by reason and common
sense and fair principles, and so
completely has the situation changed
that it is now possible to borrow on
Burley tobacco still held in war?
house as much money per pound as
the same tobacco sold for last year
Judge Robert Bingham, of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, who. is himself
a large grower of Burley tobacco
stated during his visit in Charleston
lats week that the results of cooperative
marketing among the tobaccc i
growers of Kentucky have already t
wrought the financial emancipation t
_c tViucn nnnnln Tt hns
UI I llUlOclUUa KJI . ?
changed the whole outlook of a section.
Judge Bingham, who has given a
great deal of time and study to tr r
question, entertains no doubt what- (
ever that cooperative marketing can I
do for the tobacco growers of Virginia ^
and the Caro]inas and for the cotton ?
growers of the entire South what it *
has done alrdady for the citrus fruit v
and vegetablle people in California *
and for the Burlcy tobacco people in
Kentucky. The benefits of coopera
tive marketing as applied t<> the sale d
of swine was illustrated in Georgia ?
a week or two ago in a sale of packer ~
hogs conducted at Tennille in Wash- n
ington County, under the auspices of t
the Georgia Swine Growers' Associa. t
tion. This sale had been well adver- o
tised and had attracted fully a d<?zen f
buyers representing packers ai d pri- o
vate interests and in twenty minutes C
the sale of more than 130,000 pound s
of fat hogs. 7.1,00ft pounds of which h
ran Xo. 1 prime, was concluded at ii
S.Tft a hundred, f. o. b. Tennille, spot
cash, the southeaster market for the ii
southeastern market for the day lie- d
ing only S cents for tops. About 1.70 g
farmers had hogs in this lot and the s
Atlanta Constitution, which featured o
the sale, sending a staff correspon- f
dent to report it. declares that ' if any il
one farmer had undertaken to market a
liis three, or a half dozen, or even v
a wagon-load of pigs independently, p
he would not have gotten more than a
six cents, if that; and would have n
carried his product to market, and f;
been forced, perhaps, to accept barter h
in pay." The correspondent who re-1 n
ported the sale, the third of its toind 1<
to be held in Georgia, says that as a h
result of the new confidence which tl
has been given to the swine growers,' tl
Georgia, which is at present the sixth , u
State in the Union in pure bred hog b
growing, now looks forward to such; s
progress in hog growing within thei n
WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington, D. C., April 22.?Secretary
Mellon advised Congress some
lonths ago that the Treasury was
hreatened with a deficit of some fifty
lillions unless appropriations were
educed. The President and the Republican
leaders in Congress have
ieen vociferating loudly about the
vonderful economies practiced, bui
lellon is now out with a statemer
howing that the deficit will be about
our hundred millions instead of fifty,
tnother "year of such Republican
economy" will put Uncle Sam in the
>o<>r house. If the bonus bill passes
he Senate and is signed by the
'resident, another heavy load is
>laced on the Treasury unless a way
:an be found to pay the bonus out of >
he interest and principal of the
lebts owed us by foreign governnents.
The chance that it can be
iaid in this manner is not promising,
is England is the only one of our 1
lebtors capable of making large payuents
now within the near future.
I
The President is now urging that a
oan of five millions be made to Llbera,
the negro republic on the West
\frican coast. More money taken
'rom the taxpayers' pockets to throw k
it birds. Liberia now owes one and
)ne-half millions with practically no
ihance that it will ever be paid unless
t is done out of the money which the
President desires to advance. The
;hief object of the loan seems to be
o show the colored voter in this
:ountry what a great and
'riend the racl has in the White
louse. Like the anti-lynching bill, ft
s intended to produce a profound
iffect on the colored brother.
In the caucus of the Senate Republicans,
eight senators voted against
he bonus, they are Colder of New
ifork, Wadsworth of New York, Edge
>f New Jersey. Nelson of Minnesota,
Waller of Maryland, Newberry of
Michigan, Moses of New Hampshire
ind Sterling of South Dakota. /

In 1920 the people voted for a
change, ana mere is noiuiug muic
certain than that they got It, unless
t Is that they seem to have gotten
nore than they bargained for. Uni
/ersal prosperity has been changed
into universal hard times, when at
last are beginning to yield to hard
ivork and careful economy, with no
angible help from a Congress that
loes nothing looking toward real re- )
[ief. From universal employment the
:ountry reached the point where six
nillions of able-bodied men were out
)f work. The Harding propagandists
,'ooled a great many people of various
Masses; they even promised the ltalan
vote that Italy* should have Fiiune,
jut she hasn't gotten Flume up o this
ime. They even made the German'
hink Harding would ease them out of
