This has been done and the next business session of the club will be held in the club's hall, furnished with the club's own furniture. The various committees are already at work, planning an advertising campaign for the town and community and looking around for new industries to welcome to our city. Among the active workers for i this, combining &r it. rlnpa of trade features with those of a i commercial club, is a spirit of optimism that will be hard to | down. The need for the club and the field of usefulness open i to it are apparent to all and the < number of good citizens endors- ; ing the move leads one to believe that regardless of differences of opinion on other subjects our people are a unit when < ii comes to town building and , town boosting j A Card of Thanks For the many favors extended c o us and the industrious boys i md girls recently gathered in t Chesterfield in the Short Course, t ,ve wish to exteud our heartiest a hanks to the drug stores, the r \mus-U Theatre, the captain of C he baseball team, to the yountr c idies who furnished music and f o the good pepple of the town a vho entertained the young folks. v - Stella Mims, ?

I Stimulating and valuable addresses were made by President E. W. Sikes of Coker college and Mayor F. A- Miller in welcoming those present from a t distance and by Miss Caroline ( Bo9tick of the widely known Berry school in UeoYgia, Mrs. Dora D. Walker, state assistant s in home demonstrations work, ( and Dr- W. W. Long of Clemson college. In the afternoon before a large crowd Mrs. Walker, assisted by Miss Lechner and Mrs. Ham, county demonstration , agents in Darlington, and Miss Bostick, gave demonstration in jelly and bread making and the URe of home labor saving devices. J. A. McFaden and VV. R. Elliott discussed winter gardening and the cnlture of tomatoes. The increasing value of the automobile as a means of enabling many people to take advantage ot such occasions was plainly evidenced by the number of these machines parked on the campus. The authorities of the Pee Dee summer school said that they plan to have next year a bigger and better summer school than ever for the teachers of the L'ee Dee section. The enrollment for the session just closed was UK). This is the only summer school in the State that follows the prescribed course of! study and uses the State adopt-1 ed text books. No less than 12 counties had teachers in attend-1' ance, nearly all of whom took examinations thereby securing ' renewal of their certificates or I credit toward State certificates.1 Chesterfield county gave evidence at this summer school of 1 her very rapid progress recently' in educational activity. Lurgely ; through the interest and activity of County Superintendent R. A. Rouse some forty Chesterfield teachers took full work in the summer school. Four years ago Chesterfield was near the bottom of the list of counties in all mat- ' ters educational but now stands fourth In taxation and school 1 work, eighth in per capita expen- j ditures, while leading all in the i i ! number of modern school build ings. It is the only purely ag- ' rieultural county in the State that has adopted a special school ' tax in every district?The State. ' Bad Feed Dangerous Often the fanner at this time 1 of the year has some old corn or old hay, which if ic has not been 1 sheltered properlv, is moldy and 1 in bad condition. Such feed of- 1 ten is the cause of serious trouble with stock. Farmers should be careful how they use old moldy feed of any kind, for it is dangerous, often meaning the loss of seveial head of stock before the t rouble is located. lyny not give your lad ff ll I the same training?

She seemed to be improving until early Sunday morning, and lived only a short while after the change was noticed. The body was brought on the evening train to McBee and the funeral service was conducted at Union church Monday at 11 o'clock. Mrs. Steen leaves a husband and two daughters to mourn her loss. Mrs. Steen was a quite and industrious woman. To the bereaved ones we extend our deepest sympathy. BETUESDA We have a nir.o Snndav apV?r?ri1 President of the N.

There were several visitors in this section Sunday and it seems that some had poured down more cider than they could bear upWe are having some line showers now that are fine on corn ami grass.
