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.

A physician wa.- tailed from the r
audience to pronounce Senator Willis I
dead.
Cerebral hemorrhage was the cause
of death.
Senator Willis wus just preparing
to give his speech when he became ill,
it was at first believer! from the gas j
used in the torches in the torch light
parade which welcomed the senator
home.
Mrs. Willis was called in as her
husband was dying. \
She said the senator was sllufhtly
ill I hursday night and spent a^jestless
night. Tk
Doctors Dorrence James, I). T. M?Carty,
Floyd Miller and O. W. BonneX
attended him. As he was dying the
senator called for his wife.
The senator's tragic end came at
the largest political meeting Delaware
had ever witnessed.
I he whole city had turned out in
homage to him. A band, a parade
and red fire had been provided to
".ake his appearance an auspicious
occasion.
The Buckeye Republican Glee club
of Columbia, on the platform was
singing farewell as Senator Willis S
drew his last breath.
As soon as the word of his death
was voiced around the hall, the crowd '
became excited and left the hall hurriedly.
Some, however, were so stunned
by the news that they sat glued
to bhpir seats.
Police and national guardsmen)
forced all persons to leave the ha.l
and made a picket line around the
room in which the senator's body lay.
