High School Closes; Splendid Exercises The closing exercises of the Chesterfield High School were highly gratifying. The recital on Friday evening given hy Miss Brock's violin class was a genuine surprise to a large number of her audience. This is the first; term that violin music has been taught here, and that the teacher in less than seven months was able to give a first-class musical entertainment was thought to be wonderful. The little folks were enchored until they were tired playing. The commencement sermon was preached on Sunday evening at St. Paul Methodist Church by the Rev. J. M. Forbes, of Bethune. There was a large con gregation to hfar this excellent sermon. On Monday evening H. M. Miller, e6q., delivered the bacca laureate address to a crowded house. Mr. Miller is a finished orator and was at his best on thi3 occassion. Hon. G. K. Laney, in presenting the diplomas, called attention to the fact that this is the only high school in the county whose diploma is accepted by all of che colleges as sullicient evidence for entrance without examination. On Tuesday evening the music class of Miss Mattie Gaddy entertained. Miss Gaddy has the largest class in piano music that Chesterfield has ever had and they gave a good account of themselves on this occason. A very gratifying entertainment was given.

Little, sold 1,100 bales of cotton on this market at prices ranging from lOi to 151 cent9, according to grade. This was bought bv M. W. Duvall and Edwin Malloy. Most of this was sent to the mills, but 6ome went to Norfolk. About 1,300 bales in all were sold here this week. There are still about 3,600 bales in the conntry tributary to Cheraw, leisurely waiting for top prices. A man is never too old to learn, nor to forget what he has learned. I Banks Are Aiding Boys of Florence Florence?L. L. Baker, State agent of the work among the boys, was here and wont over j the field with Ward McLendon, county agent. lie expressed 1 himself as delighted with the work. There are about 100 boys ' in the county now engaged in 1 the work, divided between the 1 pig and the corn clubs. Tney are doug excellent work. The ' boys get either registered hogs * or common for their work in the c clubs, and there are half a hun- c dred fine Duroc and Berkshire t hogs in the county now, and ev- * ery boy who has applied for aid * in securing a brood sow has been c helped if he had the sanction of his father in going into the ar- 1 rangment. The City Savings ? bank here has undertaken that 0 work and has met every demand. ^ Many of these hogs have been C bought in this county, where 11 some of the finest bred hogs in e the country are to be had. Mr. Baker while here had a ^ conference with the City Savings . bank officials and they suggested having all the pig club boys here ^ one day as the guest of the bank. Mr. Baker and others of the department will be here to lecture to them on some practical and j. interesting phase of hog raising or marketing. Ci Mr. Baker says that he has ^ now about 2,500 boys in the State in this work, and that he nt has had the most generous and y and cordial cooperation of the ^ school authorities and the banks j and business people. The returns have shown that the work has ^ been of great practial value to the State and is going to be of . more value by a good deal this year, he believes, than ever before. a Stage Tramp And His Jokes 0 Nat Wills, the tramp coraedi- r an, now performing at the New York Liippodrome, who arouses the public's risibles by reading t] his famous improvised telegrams from notables of the world, has 11 added more to his long list. OnA frnm Mrs l'ntik hnraf cmro P "It, as Kudyard Kipling says, g woman is only a rag, a bone and " a bank of hair, then let me tell * you what man is, nothing but a jag, a drone and a tank of air." ( One from the German atnbassador, Count Von Bernstorff, reads: "Cancel order for toys as ' my 'Boy-Ed' is going back to w Europe." n "Teddy Roosevelt wires me," ^ reads Wills, "that he is ready to ? sail for Europe to put the bull 1 iu Bull-Garia." 0 A judge remanding a criminal 0 called him a scoundrel, Tne f prisoner replied, "&ir, 1 am not ^ as big a scoundrel as your lion- a or"?here the culprit stopped. ^ but finally added?"takes me 10 . be." 5 "l'ut your works closer togeth- s er," said the judge. I No Filth?No Flies! f Flies and filth go together. No filth, , no files! About the only good thing you can say about the fly is that his 1 presence should stimulate you to hunt 1 op the place whore he was born and ^ destroy it so that it may breed no more of his kind. * Fly swatting may be a popular pas- f time. It has been talked about much. So far, it has proved ineffective. The well-meaning person, applying the swatter at every opportunity, kills one fly at a time. The removal of the contents of a single manuro box will swat millions of thorn at a blow. Screens and swatters are a good thing, but a clean neighborhood is the j best. Get busy!

There were many from Chesertield County to hear the I'resient and all spoke in highest raise of the impression made y Mr. Wilson on his audience. Aero Mail Service taltimore America. The postoflice department reently invited bids for carrying be mail over eight proposed erial routes. Seven of these ^ntemplated routes are in Alasa and one is between a coastal ity of Massachusetts and an ismd that lies oil' the coast. For ?ven of these proposed aerial mil lines there were no bids. nd only ons bid for the service etween Seward, the southern ort of Alaska, and Iditarod, hich is iibO miles inland. There re several quite apparent reuses why there has been no gt&nd iish to secure these air lineconracts. For one thing, the comparaively few concerns in this county which are engaged in the lanufacture of aeroplanes and hich ordinarily might he exected to be concerned in overnment contracts for airline tail service, are loaded up ith orders for producing miliary n.achines. In addition to vreign orders it seems that the Inited States goverinent has ecently placed large contracis :ir aeroplanes. This txplains diy there is a lank of available machines for mail route servict?, Lnother reason for tlie absence f bids on the proposed air lines s the scarcity of trained aviutrs. In time, perhaps by ti e <hul f another year, we shall have he machines for the service, the rained air pilots and then the ,ir line mail routes- In l'hilalolpha last week a school of avi ,tion was formally opened with to enrolled students. There hould he such a school in every arge city. The danger element n aeroplane Might lias been greatly lessened during the last. !0 months, and though aeronauts are not likely to be as numerous as automobile chaufeur-? for some time, yet the air raftsmen will gradually multi)ly. It is a very highly paid lervice. m __ Fairly Stumped. \lnnr l.c I.......... I... .
