Mr. Frank Horn and family, of near Cross Roads church have moved to Sugar Loaf Mountain community. Miss Addie Bonn, of near Bethesda, is spending a few days at G. N. Clanton's. If the clay were handy this writer would suggest that the roads be worked again. I just wonder if we could have a Good Roads Day in Chesterfield County. I will help. If a person dreams of owning an automobile it is a good sign that he wants one. Mr. J. W. Odom was at Chester field Saturday. Mr. D. L. Brown spent Saturday night on this route. The finger of scorn is never on a helping hand. Do you remember that there were L some weather forecasters last spring * who prophesied that we would have no summer this year? Some pople never get too busy to give others advise?right or wrong. BRITTSVILLE Situated between WesTfield Creek and the State line, and extending as far as the Pee Dee river, lies an unnamed section of Chesterfield County which we would like to introduce to the readers as Brittsville. It is a beautiful section of farming country, and its people are wide awake farmers, using the modern methods of farming with splendid results. Through the good management of Mr. Rouse, the County Superintendent of Education, we have at last secured a nice brick school building, which is a credit to any community. "The Woman's Home Demonstration Club" meets there once a month under the supervision of Miss Mims, wnose interesting iuiks ana neipiui suggestion? are enjoyed by all. Never more can speeches be made condemning the County for allowing such a dilapidated structure, called a school house, to exist; never more will the old building as a school house be an eyesore to passersby; for now we have a building to be proud of, and under the efficient teaching of Miss Nora Pegues, we expect the pupils to progress rapidly. Miss Mabel Rivers left last Tuesday for Statesville, where she will attend the Presbyterian College al that place. Mr. Howell Rivers, who has beer visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs R. L. Rivers, has gone to Eliot, S. C. where he goes to superintend i dairy farm. Miss Nora Pegues is visiting rela tives at Lake City, i Miss Grace Stuckney, of Lake City L . is visiting at the home of Mr. W. A K?Pegues. A most interesting revival at Mc Farlan closed last week.

Word had flashed over tht whole of this territory with incred ible swiftness that a negro had at tempted to kill Mr. William Belk, o: near Cheraw, that a two by foui scantling had been used with ter rible effect and the white man hat small chance to recover. The details of the affair were a1 first megre, but it was known that t liiri'O nn.QSP W?a lnnHntr fnr fKn on sailant and that blood hounds fron . Columbia were to be put on his trail Many went down from Chesterfielc to aid in the hunt and to see the hounds work. Mr. William Belk was a road over seer and it it said that he had foi some time tried to Ret Elwood Grace who is also known as Gradon and Fuller, to do his bit of work on the road. Grace is said to have disputed the claim of Mr. Belk on his services on the plea that he was only nineteen years of age and that he had not been in the territory long enough even if he were of the proper age. According to the best information securable, Mr. Belk, while driving in a buggy last Saturday afternoon, at about 1:30 met the negro, who was in another buggy with a white man. A dispute arose between Mr. Belk and the negro and it is said that strong language was used. Mr. Belk, it is said, left his buggy And attempted to pull Grace from his seat. The latter got out on the opposite side and took to his heels across an open field, with Mr. Belk in pursuit. In his attempt to stop Mr. Belk from following him furthei Grace first threw a clod of dirt in the white man's face and this failing to huve any effect, he hurled a brickbat with such force as to shattei the unfortunate man's jaw. Then picking up a two-by-four scantling, the negro dealt Mr. Belk several severe blows about the head and face fracturing his skull across the forehead. Mr. Belk was hurried to the Hamlet hospital in a critical condition, where he lived until 1:30 Monday morning. The pursuit and assault were said to have been witnessed by several men, both white and colored, but nc effort seems to have been made to intervene, nor to apprehend the assailant. Though the whole territory was scoured by hundreds of citizens and blood hounds from Columbia wert put on the trail, Grace made gooc his escape. He was traced approx innately eight mile* into Marlbon county, where the track was lost. Grace, or Fuller, bears a rathe: dubious reputation as a fnrhter. I will be reculled by Chesterfield peopb that a few months ago there wa some excitement in town over th< story that a white man had been bad ly cut on the Spencer place nea town, and the story turned out to b greatly exaggerated as it was a col ored boy who was cut in a fight wit one of his own people. Grace wa the recipient of the wound in tha ' case and bears two large scars o his face as a result that will probabl aid in his identification. The funeral services were conduct ed in Cheraw and the burial oceurre . at the Cheraw cemetery. > SIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Rivers, jr., ar ' nounce the birth of a fine boy o last Monday night.

He was always faithful to his church and smile and pleasant word for everyone he met. Mr. Sowell was an old soldier, seventy-five years of age. He belonged to Company A, 7th South Carolina Battalion. He has gone now to join his many comrads gone before. The funeral services were con ducted at the Presbyterian Church Monday afternoon at d o'clock by his pastor, the Rev. A. W.

The custom has grown up of havg one day in the year set aside as U ,.?l. 1^... .1 wi K That moans thai all friends of tho rphans work on that day and what.er they make, they send to various nominational orphanages. More id more this beautiful custom liar, iread until now it means a jcrcat eal to the orphanages and their n fortunate charges. This year, September 30th is Ortian Work Day. Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, S. ., is the Presbyterian Orphanage >r Georgaia, Florida and South Carina. Connie Maxwell, at Greenwood, S. ., is the Baptist home for homeless lildren. The Methodist institution is Eporth Orphanage at Columbia. These three homes ought to be on le mind of every man woman and hild in Chesterfield County for 3(>f> ays in every year.
