Little'? Battery Box Makes Clean Sweep Henry Cauthen, writing in the Charleston New# artd Courier of Saturday, March 81" tell# of the success of Mr. Geo. T. Little, of thi# city, with In# hor?e "Battery Box" intern! in the Charleston horse show. Mr. Cauthen nay#: "Unsung before he 'began winning events rather late In the afternoon, Battery Box, George T. Little's fivVgaited hay, yesterday won the #weep- j take# event of the third annual , Charleston horse show, ami with it secured the championship of the show, j The champion finished strong, taking four of the last eight events and beat- 1 ing out such favorites a# Sporty Mc(iee, Anna Forest and Gloria Golden for the championship. Mr. Little Battery Box owner, is from Camden. "The closing day of the show wax a surpassing auccess. It brought bliss to horae lover#, and particular ecstasy to Col. R. John West, president, and other officiuls of the Charleston Horse Bhow association. The crowd in the. afternoon vias even largi r than that of the first day, and there were some magnificient performances. "A ruin ami wind storm that visited itself unmercifully upon the show just after it had opened shortly after noon was not fatal, as it then seemed and later the atmosphere cleared to make a perfect afternoon. The rain really heljH'd, for it settled the dust and cooled an air that had threatened to be almost uncomfortably warm. Battery Box, besides winning the championship event, also won the largest number of blue ribbons. Me collected a total of four, each of them late yesterday. Two each were won by R. If. Johiyon's Gloria Golden, A. I). L. Rarksdnfe's Sporty McGte, J. G. Day's Radio and George H. Bunnell's Follow-on, the jumper. "Follow-on finished second in the sweepstakes, making his the second horse in the show on this basis. His owner, Mr. Dunnel, is from Fast Norwalk, Conn., where he has the Sasqua stables." Connects Wrong Impression Mr. W. I'. Johnson, weaving superintendent at the Wateree Mills, is desirous of having the people of Camden know that-the. boy w ho has been visiting the homes and soliciting money for daily paper with the story that he is to obtain a watch is not Willie or Fd Johnson the son of Mr. W. 1'. Johnson, as has been represented by the hoy. The Camden poli.e have investigated and have located the boy who has been taking this money under false pretenses and have the case in hand now. The hoy'.- father is not connected in any way with the Wateree Mills as the hoy says. The New York state athletic commission has ruled that Gene Tunney must have two championship tights during this year in order to retain his right to box within the limits of New York state. The commission has also ruled that should Jack Dempsey decide to return to the ring hp will not be allowed to box Gene Tunney in that state for the championship. A Most Liberal Offer Made by This Paper The Chronicle announce# with this issiie one of the most liberal subscript ion ofFcia in its history. In order to put the paper into every home in tin* county, thereby stimulating our already large subscription list, and to give all, both old aid new subscribers, the benefit of the saving, the paper will be sent to uny address in the United States for six months for fifty cents, (foreign postage extra). This is not a contest. No prizes, no commissions and only the inducement of getting one of the best weekly papers in the state for six months for fifty cents. Neither is this a scheme to raise money. We are not in the tights financially, and are not forced to do this. Owing to poor mechanical equipment we have not cared for a large subscription list, for our antequated equipment could not handle a larger list. The installation of a new high-speed press renders our facilities greater. We simply want to increase our list and hope by this method to add several hundred new names. Tell you neighbors about it and get them on the list (many of them have been borrowing your paper). We do not want a family in the county to !>< without The Chronicle, and it will not be our fault if you do not get it. To every person handing in five names with fifty cents for each, The Chronicle will be muiled six months f ree. A person who has recently renewed his or her subscription to The Chronicle can get the same benefit from this offer as a new subscriber, by paying fifty cents and having six months added to their subscription. Remember, and come in at once, and hand in just fifty cents and get The Chronicle for six months. Our subscription price has not been reduced, it still stands at strictly $2 per year in advance, and after May 5th, no living man will be uble to get it for less. Under this offer we should and expect to, in the time mentioned, put several hundred new, names on our list. Ko^several weeks The Chronicle will be sent as a sample copy to every rural mail box in Kershaw county. Look for the big page annoui.cement in today's paper. This offer will positively close on May 5th. Merchants might well take advantage of this unusual offer if they have an advertising message to' put across, as during the next few weeks The Chronicle will reach nearly every rural mail box in the county. Latrobe, Pa., was visited by a $200,ooo tire on Tuesday. Fifty automobiles were included in the destroyed property.
