Entered as second-olass matter at the postofflee at Chesterfield, South Carog?jfc^. Una. ; W&j( , r PAUL H. HBARN Editor and Publisher. X W. Hanna, authorized representative. An exchange says the European War i? j net now in its infancy. A pretty lusty infant that. Belgium has issued an appendix to her war book. It ie a safe bet that Germany will cut it out. Baron Mantascheff paid $200 to have his hair cut. A man would be extravagant to pay so much as that even to have his head cut off. A Pittsburg priest who has fallen heir to $15,000,000 refuses to accept it claiming that he is Setting too old to be worrie^ with so much wealth. Doabtless he can find some one to releive him of the worry and wealth. A bird has appeared in Missouri that says ''William Stevens William Stevens'* as plain as i a if :i miy jiorrui) uuuiu ts?y n, ai *l> "would only say "Champ Clark, Champ Clark" the Missourians would like it better. Wednesday, Thursday and Fri. day, September 1, 2 and 8, have been selected as the dates for Chautauqua lectures in Yorkville. And in connection with the Chautauqua there is to bean effort to get as many former Yorkvilie citizens as possible to return for a home coming. The Yorkvilie Enquirer says: "There is going to be a state warehouse at Tirzah within the next thirty days, if a number of leading citizens who met on that subject recently carry out the plan upon which they resolved," The Advertiser anxiously awaits the time when it can make a similar statement with reference to Chesterfield. The Jeffersonian says: The manager of the Jefferon Cotton Oil Co. states they will install four new 80 saw Continental Monger gins in place of the old ones that are now in the building. This will make a total of seven gins and two presses. The new system will be equipped with a hydraulic press.. Spartanburg farmers have already marketed about 5,000 bushels of wheat, estimated as about one-sixth the total which the county will produce. This crop is one-third to one-half greater than last year's in the county. Instead of receiving 75 cents to 90 cents a bushel as last, year the farmers are getting from $1 to $1.12 a bushel. Savoyard, the brilliant Washington correspondent, has made some remarkable prophesies in his time and this his latest, may be correct?He says: It is folly to talk about any ticket for the G. O. 1\ except Roosevelt to head it, and I demand to know of you, where could you find 6uch a magnificent tail to any ticket as Charles W. Fairbanks makes? He was created for it?tho tail of a ticket, not the head. The publishers of The Advertiser are endeavoring to publish all the local news possible, but in this they cannot be thoroughly successful without the aid of the readers of The Advertiser. Away off in Kansas the local papers are having the same kind of trouble. The Turon Press of that state, has this to say: "About everybody around here went somewhere Sunday, but they didn't tell us where, so we can't report same." The editor of the Mullins Enterprise is evidently a Christian as well as a philosopher, lie says in his columns: Love what is beautiful and hate that which is ugly wherever you find it, but draw the line at hating people. We may rightly hate many things we find in them as in ourselves, but the right thing is to transform the ugly into the beautiful if at all possible. If we "f/ could do away with hate there ^ wcuid be neither war nor rumors ' w w*rB *nc* evory home wip'.d be a miniature heaveu. mm of High School i ; A meeting of the patrons of the Chesterfield High School was held lest Friday night at the Courthouse. County Superintendent of Education R. A. Rouse made a report of the finances of theOhes terfleld High School District which showed the finances of the diptrict to be in an unsatisfactory condition. The total income available for the past school year including returns fox back taxes, was $4,274.98, Total expenditures, 8.944.69. leavinn How long will it take voo to give en individual talk to some! 4,000 prospective customers? How much would it cost you to hire your clerks to tell some 4, 000 prospective customers of your stock and prices? When you have made your calculations The Advertiser would like to bid for the job. We can do the work every week more thoroughly and* at a much less expense. John L. McLaurin, state warehouse commissioner, comes forward with a proposition that the government should purchase 2, 1 000,000 bales of low grade cotton for the manufacture of explosi- 1 ves. He say8 this would stabilze the market and provide higher prices for the remainder of the 1 crop. Commenting on this proposition of Senator McLaurin. The 1 Yorkville Enquirer says: It is not certain that the country is going to need two million bales cotton for powder making; but i we do not see how it can lose anything by laying in such a supply. If it should need the I powder, it will be available, and if it does not need either the 1 powder or the cotton, either will 1 be easily salable before the 1916 crop comes in. The purchase of two million bales of cotton by the govern- 1 ment. will guarantee a fair price for the whole crop. In another column of this issue is an account of a recent meetins of the patrons of Chesterfield High School. The Advertiser is not in position to take sides on the issue involved, nor to offer advise, but we venture the assertion that no town in the United States the size of Chesterfield has a finer aggregation of children of school age than has this town. For bright eyes, intelligent fates and well-formed bodies, they are not surpassed anywhere. Any money judiciously spent in their proper development is well spent. Correspondence MERIUMAN8 MILL Miss Letlier Johnson of Hartsville, is visiting at the home of Mr. I. B. Me.'riman. Mr. Joe Middleton, of this section, is visiting his brother at Hartsvillo. Mr. 8. O. Middleton and wife, of Darlington visited the formers parents here last week. SNOW HILL Mr. Crawford Cason left last Monday for the Northern States where he will spend a few weeks. Mr. L. B. Davis has been spending the past week in the mountains of North Carolina. Mr. A. P. Smith and Miss Mary Buchanan, were married on July 28th at the home of the brides uncle, Mr. J. U. Uulledgo. Rev. A. B. Smith, of Wexford, performed the ceremony. Mr. J. K. Jordan, of the Wex ford section, spent Sunday in this section with relatives. Rev. V. Mcltae will preach at Westiield Creok church next Sunday at 4 o'clock. Sunday School at Snow Hill next Sunday at 10 o'clock. Mr. K. II. Gaddy has returned home from Rocky River Springs where he spent a few weeks for his health. We welcome Mr. and Mrs. May | Davis in our community also Mr. Sandy Bittle and family. Tobacco In Cheraw The Cheraw Warehouse Co. has made arrangements to have tobacco buyers on the market this year, and while there is not a great deal of tobacco planted an effort is to be made to get the very best prices and it is hoped tliore will be more planted another year. Peach trees at 8 cents each, apple trees at 12 1 2 cent each, grape vines at 5 1-2 cent each. These are the prices of fruit trees purchased through your county demonstration agent. How do they compare with the charges of th9 tree agent? Just to (Jet Acquainted The Advertiser FOUR MONTHS FOR 25c START IT NOW ]< 4 - * ' ' ; a balance in the treasury of $880, and no back taxes available for three years to come, consequently the funds available for the ensuing year from the taxes collectable will not be sufficient without resort to the sinking fund. Added to this deficit in actual running expenses is the faot that the school is badly overcrowded and is in ueed of extension. The question of an increased taxation to meet these contingencies was discussed, with th< result that a motion was put and carried favoring the circulatlor of a petition for an electiot looking to the levying of an ex tra school tax of five mills. There is a natural division oi opinion on the subject, some fa voring a policy of retrenchmenl on account of the present monej stringency, while others favor e more progressive policy. This is a- weighty matter foi the taxpayers to decide, bu1 it is safe to 6ay that the publi< spirit of Chesterfield county wil find the best solution possible. In the meantime the columni of The Advertiser are open t( advocates of both sides of the proposition.
