Chesterfield Honors Her Heroic Dead According to a time honored and beautiful custom, Chesterfield turned aside from her business occupations yesterday to do honor to the memory of those brave and gallant soldiers who have answered the last roll call fcnd are sleeping in the ChesterHeld cemetery. The school children bearing lowers, formed ranks at the sourthouse and together with die few remaining veterans and litnens inarched to the cemetery. Oapt. H. D. Tiller was master >f ceremonies. At the cemetery the exercisee vere simple but impressive tiev. J. L. Tyler led in prayer. L'here was music by a select shoir and an excellent address iy Mr. P, A. Murray, Jr. Mr. Murray spoke of the the Old South and the New, paying a ice tribute to those of the old lout.h who fought for a pricipal. There were only five veterans n line, Oapt. D H Tiller, Messrs. W D and T P Craig, and N H Melton and T T Burch. As has been the custom, there vere tlowers for the two Federal graves as well as the twenty ? ? - ^UUICUUIftie, A Pear Blight Cure About one year ago The Advertiser's representative found ,he farm of Mr. A. A. Douglass, >n the did Scotch Koad, an investing place to visit. At that ;irce Mr. Douglass told an interring story of a snake that swalowed alcohol, bottle and all. de showed us some live guineaihickens (a hybrid) and a number of useful inventions. This <ime there was no story to relate uul the guinea-chickens had jrown up and were sold. Mr. Douglass' wizardy had iaken a new turn, and he show?d us some pear trees that had seen cured of pear blight. The irees showed every evidence of saving suffered from some disjase, but the bark and wood are low in a healthy condition. A reliable witness was not wanting r*y K a an i <1 f a 4 4 U** ^ rr iikj oaiu Hint lllC II CC8 Wt'IC CUIBering badly last year, but were now apparently sound. This preparation was applied last year to a single row of peas in a field that was affected by wilt, with the result that the jne row produced thoroughly nealthy vines, while other parts >f the field continued to suffer. Mr. Douglass believes his disjovery will prove an effective remedy for cotton wilt, tomato rot and other kindred vegetable lilments, as it has -1 so arrested cabbage rot. More thorough tests will no doubt be given this preparation ihis summer. Two Fugitives Caught Lester Keenan and Karl Blanihard two fugitives from justice in Mecklenburg county, N U., were captured by Chesterfield sounty authorities Monday. I'll AfT l\A/l AQOa nOil ft-/* rv-? h A a uvj iiwu voow|/v;u 11 uiii nic zhaingang about one week ago. About two months ago these two boys, in company with a Davis boy, known in Chesterfield, were charged with unlawfully entering a box car in Mecklenburg county.) The Davis boy was sent to the reformatory while Keenan and Blanehard were sent to the gang for Bix months. Their claim is that they only entered the car for protection from cold. Word had been received at the sheriff's office to look out for them and when two strangers came strolling through town corresponding to their descriptions Mr. Grant, rural policeman, took up the trail and soon had both boys in custody. ?!MK!iEYms Jim Teal's Family Destitute in Columtra 1 The family of Mr. Jim Teal, | whose condition had been called fc? to the attention of the county au- f i thorities, left the county last week for Columbia. Mr. Teal \ i had been release from the State Sanitarium and thought himself able to support his family in Columbia The city authorities have taken the family in custody pending action by the State J Board of Charities. The following letter has just, been received: ,1 Rev. J. L. Tyler, Chesterfield. .S. (!. Dear Mr. Tyler : The assocciated Charities has asked us to assist them in placing the seven children of Mr. Teal of Chesterfield, S. C. Mr. Teal was dismissed from the State Hospital for the Insane a few days ago. His type of mental trouble, the director of the medio' falT at the State Hospital im . j me, is such that it may be some months and even years before he will have to be recommitted. He has been a patient at the State Hospital on three separate occasions, as his trouble has recurred at intervals after he was dismissed. The medical director tells me that if he can be relieved of the burden of caring for his seven childdren it may have a tendency to prolong the period during which he will be sane. You wrote Miss Blackburn of the Associated Charities that you had been authorized by the Chesterfield board of county commissioners to place these children in an orphanage. Have you any special orphanuge in mind? It will cost the coun ty $o.OO a month to keep each child in the the llescue Orphanage at Columbia. There are seven of these children, you know. Can you tell me how much money the board of commissioners of your county is willing to pay for their support? Please do not let the idea get out that Mr. Teal has been parolled from the State Hospital for the Insane while he was insane. This is not the case, but as I said before his mental trouble is liable to recur at any time. Taking these children and putting them where he will not be burdened with their support will have a tendency to prolong the period between the attacks ..: ~ - i l 1 i - I hi mn iiit-utai tniuuiu. 1 hope we may be able to make some satisfactory arrangement about these children. Have they any relatives at all in Chesterfield county who could assist in taking care of them? With kindest regards, 1 am, Yours truly, Albert D. Oliphant, Assistant Secretary. It will no doubt appear to everyone that this is still a Chesterfield county case and that ChesterfL'hl county should act. It has been suggested that the county entor five of the children in the Columbia home and maintain them there for a few months until satisfactory homes can be found for them. The Texas State Pure Food .1 F \ T \ x - t ami i/rug i?eparinieni. Having made independent expeiiments which proved beyond doubt that flies carry disease germs, has begun an active campaign for the screening of all foodstuffs in the state. Inspectors have been sent out with strict orders to compel all storekeepers, hucksters and others who offer anything edible for sale to keep it covered in snch a mannor that flies cannot get to it. In most of the cities the women's clubs are giving active aid to the inspectors and promising to withdraw their trade from tncr\chants who persist in violating 11this law.
