Ol)? Chesterfield ^Advertiser I VOLUME 86? NO 34 CHESTERFIELD, S. 0. NOVEMBER 9, 1916 $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE * 1 k Macedonia, M r Hold Con Enthusi; It has been the opinion of the Advertiser that the annual recurrence of the Chesterfield County Fair is of the greatest importance to Chesterfield County. Its organization and promotion was a great and commendable step on the pathway of progress. And now another step of equal importance to the welfare of our county has been made?or rather three steps, j We refer to the three community fairs held last week in three sections ] y ' of Chesterfield county. The oldest of these community fairs had been organized less than two months, the Middendorf organi- 1 zation having been completed only ten days before the fair was held, \ Macedonia, in point of age, coming ' between these two, and yet every one of these fairs was magnificent. The j exhibits of farm products and live stock, of canned goods, cooking and fancy needle-work, it would seem, 1 could hardly be surpassed. But to j the mind of this editor there was on exhibition at each of these places an item of far creator sicnifii>'inpn than > the things just mentioned. It was the < y spirit of community interest and co- 1 ) operation manifested by every man, 1 woman and child who went to the I trouble to prepare and bring out his j or her best in this line or that. MACEDONIA , The first in order last week was the i fair held at Macedonia school house 1 on Thursday, November Ud. s It was known that this section of the county was rich in the best of i everything the county could produce, i and that a magnificent collection of . products could be brought together i that would certainly be difficult to t t? ___ 1 With every c; amounting to i We Will Gi 1 Coupon Woi We give these coi chase i>< any kind even if it is ice and j conditions are that be not less thSft 50 ? be a cash transactio 1 * pons in propotion the purchase.

Croghan, Mi nmunity Fai asm?Magnifi match, but the shortness of the time | mil the uncertainty of general co_ ] operation on the part of the com- 1 munity lent an air of uncertainty to ] the outcome. But all uncertainty ! was speedily dissipated on the 2d of ! November. The crowd came and I packed the building and the grounds ' ] round about. Not only did they | 1 come but they brought their best 1 products with them. There was scant - time to prepare anything special so I what was shown was selected largely from things already on hand. Among the live stock there were some fine hogs, mules and cows and 1 in especially pretty show of chickens, i 1 Inside the building the farm prod- | jets were too numerous to mention in 1 Jetail. We do not believe there is a 1 section in South Carolina that, can 1 surpass some of the things we saw 1 :here, and yet it is hard to say in what line this fair excelled, for well nust confess the canned products, the ^reserves and pickles, the cakes, light < aread, corn bread and biscuits, the fried chicken and roasted 'possum leld our attention much of the time. 1 There were some interesting relics, such as a spinning wheel, some very f )ld candle-sticks and candle molds. The real surprise came when the i fancy work department was visited, flere was a great collection of work t hat was unmistakably the result of nuch labor and great pains. The re- t nainder of the county will this week ie hard pushed to surpass the work S hown here by these Macedonia ladies. The speaker, Hon. E. D. Smith, i failed his appointment and recourse J was had to local talent. Messrs. L. H. Trotti, W. J. Tiller, C. L. Hunley ] ind the Rev. Barnwell Caston addressed the fair visitors.

Cheraw, Nov. 7.?Yesterday, as the southbound Seaboard train was in the station here, May Gregory was shot ay William E. Ingram Both are transfer men. It seems that on Saturday they had some words about a passenger and Gregory beat up Ingram. The same thing occurred this morninir and Greeorv atrain iumned an Ingram and the latter fired two | shots from a 32 calibre revolver, but only one took effect, that one going ' into the abdomen on the left side. Chief of Police Pegues separated them and took the weapon from Ingram, who is now in the Chesterfield county jail awaiting the result of the wound. This afternoon Gregory is resting very well and his chances for recovery seem favorable, though complications may set in within the next few days. The first entertainment of the Piedmont Lyceum Course was given here last Monday evening. It was attended by a small crowd, but a number of those present were heard to say that the one entertainment was well worth the price of the entire course. Miss Frances Lawrence, harpist, and Miss Grace Lowry, reader, proved to be artists of merit. The Chesterfield Advertiser is anxious to enlarge Itself, but a well paid up subscription list is absolutely essential to this improvement. I Chesterfield County Swing; Many We told you so!
