VOLUME 31?NO. 29. CHESTERFIELD, S. P.. OOTOBEK 7. JL916 $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVA NOR I Big 90 Mile B Was A Tl The Big Booster Trip in th interest of the Coming Count I Fair was in every respect splendid success, reflecting crec B it on the officers who had th ratio in charge, and on th public-spirited citizens who ei thusiasticallvjADDorfced the ofli [ cer8 in their en'orts. H That people had read the an r-^.1 nouncements and were expect the boosters, was evidence^ ill by the fact that tho good foil *} ^^lof the whole country sid ?f/ KnQTtfre CWtde^the entire wa J around and shoaled greeting and words of encouragement t< the travelers.! At every stop on the way with one exception, a large par of the town turned out to gree j the boosters. The entire trip was made 01 fair schedule time and few mis haps being suffered. Of the 1' cars leaving Chesterfield, a lit11? after 9:00 a. m., 15 returned a about 0:J10, two having been dis U _ - abled. The weather was ideal, a gooc L rain the night before havinj 1- settled the dust, leaving th< ' roads in fine shape. I The run to Ruby was made it ^ excellent time and a large anc enthusiastic crowd was on hand After Billy Collins' "Big Show' band had soothed the listener! x in his best manner with a musi cal selection, speeches in the in terest of the Fair were made bj Messrs. Hunley, F. VV. Rivers B. J. Douglass and YV. J. Tiller This program was more or lesf closelv followed at other stops .From Ruby to Mt. Croghan th< r trip was quickly made, past pros perous looking farms and com fortable homes, while all thf people, men, women and chil dren, came out to wave a greet ing. At Mt. Croghan the cordi al greeting of Ruby was repeat ed. When neariuff Racreland t.ht car occupied by Dr. "Red' White, which constituted half ol the Overlands in the processiot becamo disabled and was left be hind. Ilere a royal welcome I was extended, the public schoo turning out in a body and marching down to show thej were interested in the Counts Fair. And at Jefferson the warm-hearted people helped tc make the travelers feel theii efforts were not in vain. That little place called Ca tarrh made a very deep impres rsion upon the members of the party irytwo respects. The people were"out to offer their en couragement, but what the boosters will remember for manj a .lay to come is that here th^s came into roads that are roads, and it was when they were sere ly in need of good roads. It wa? / til PI i HP?r 1 ft'i'lnob i ?'l | / awaited the hungry crowd in / McBee, 12 miles away. One man / alone, after riding as far as La tarrh would have had a good appetite, but to get the full amount of appet'te represented by the crowd it would be necessary to multiply one man's appetite by With thia 02 man-power hunger on hand those good roads were a Mousing and all those Fords and the one Overland made good use of them. The run to McBee was smoothly and quickly made and here the most rojal welcome of all was received. The boosters ,t were met a little distance from town by two cars filled with reproaeuative citizens, who escorted their guests back to town. The good people came out and let it be known that they were B an integral part of Chesterfield County and were glad of it and are taking an interest in their County Fair. The school childr n, bless their hearts, not only ^ ooster Trip Eiorough Success e came out but sang a song, much y to the delight of everybody pres. ? ent. j It was here that the hungry crowd dined. They partook of e the hospitality of the Hotel p Hampton and all voted Mrs. i- Hampton a good cook. For the remainder of the trin fine roads were oncounterad. At Middendorf and Patrick the '* spirit of unity and interest in county prosperity wefe manid festcd. k There was a stop ip Oheraw e of about 20,minutes. A speech y was made on the part of the :s boosters by Capt. J. M. Hough S in ifhich he asked Oheraw if they h~d. seced$d_ from the , county. a, 2. t Good roads wet^PL^in travt eled until a stretch was reached known as Jackson's Folly.

New York.?Subscriptions amounting to approximately $365,000,000 ap pearod to be in sight toward the $500,000,000 issue of Joint Anglo-French bonds, declared the president of one of the largest national banks in the city. It was his opinion that one or two days more would see the entlro amount placed. The $3165,000,000, it la assumed, represents the total pledges tabulated. it was tnought this total covered sub scrlptions from every section of the country, although this was not stated. ' The books will he open In all probatiibly for several days. Middle Western and Western banks are yet to be heard. 1 The attitude of Kuhn, I^oeb & Co., has been a matter of speculation ever since negotiations looking toward the floating of the loan were begun. It has been reported that certain members of the firm would subscribe to , the loan as individuals. Mr. Schiff's announcement follows: "With different sympathies on the part of the individual members of our Arm we decided at the outbreak of the war to refrain from financing pub lie loans for any of the governments of the belligerent nations. ! "Concerning the present AngloFrench loan we have felt that as American bankers we should assist in what we believe will result In promot- , ing the interest of the country's commerce and industries but It not having been found practicable to give ' any actual assurances that the gov- 1 eminent at Russia?against whose In- 1 humanity the members of our Arm ' have ever raised their voices?is not 1 to derive benefit from the fund thai 1 are to be raised through the Anglo- < French loan I have felt constrained ( to advise my Arm to refrain from toe- ' coming participants In the loan. i mi FDR GERMAN I UNE OF DEFENSE 1 ?

It is believed here that besides I the gain of ground in both Artoia 'and Champagne and the improved position of the Allies generally, the re- . cent successful operations must soon ( relieve the pressure on Russia and t perhaps prevent the Austro-Germans , from sending any large force against Serbia. , Already large reinforcements for g the Germans are arriving on the t Western front and their presenc# has g slready had the effect of slackening t somewhat the Allies' offensive. But r there is a possibility of the offensive f breaking out on some other section , of this front.

G ?441 believe in the rule of the white people," said Governor Manning in a statement on the situation reported to exist in Beaufort. "1 do not feel that it is proper for the governor to meddle in local politics a6 a lule, but in this particular case the situation presents a very grave and serious question. The Democratic party stands for white supremacy, and to use the negro vote in an election among the Democrats, is betting a very dangerous precedent for all future time. I can not too strongly Rtress the importance of white rule in South Carolina. The precedent established by a bolt from the primary for the purpose of using the negro voters in the general election is a most dangerous one. "Person*lly, under no circumstances would I accept a nomination or election to any oflice ac the hands of the negro," said the governor. "The negro is all right in his place, but his place is certainly not the ballot box. The white man is the negro's best friend when the negro is out of politics, and the negro himself is happier and more prosperous without the ballot, for the reason that he is not then to be used for the purpose of defeating the I will ..f t.ho white citizens of South Carolina. Blind Tigers In Charleston Columbia, S. C., Oct. C>?As evidence of the elective work being done by the special constables sent to Charleston by Governor Manning for the purpose of enforcing the liquor laws, it is noted with a great deal of interest here that the Charleston County Grand Jury this week returned thirty-nine true bilis out of forty indictments handed them by the acting solicitor, Win. II. Grim ball, Esq. Judge M. L. Smith is presiding and ' is forceful, manly chatge to the Grand Jury on the question of law enforcement brought forth many complimentary remarks from law abiding citizens all over the state. Governor Manning is deeply gratified that the work he is attempting to do is beginning to bring forth such a;ood results. Law enforcement and good citizenship go hand in hand. Feace Delegates Gov.
