P|HflHSnto The Advertiser: I I^^^^Cohicident with the appropriation 11 BP " of w ,000 for the improvement of 11 navigation in the Congaree Rivor *" there has been a movement inaugurated which will mean mnch to this " _ town and the surrounding community, Sv*" namely: the restoration of navigation by water on Great Pee Dee River. A number of Georgia capitalists are having tentative surveys made so as to be able to give the government an estimate of what money will be necessary to open the river for naviga' tion up to Cheraw. It is rumored that Bernard Baruch, multi-millionaire, of New York, who has recently been in the limelight in connection with the so-called Law son leak inci- I dent, and who is interested in prop- p erty around Georgetown, is interested I in this, matter. I The well-known former citizen of | cneraw, Mr. Henry W. Finlayson, has . made good in New York in the whole- ; | sale drygoods business. Mr. Finlay- 1 V son formerly conducted what was, perhaps the largest drygoods business K. in* %3leaterfield county, occupying Bp- then the largest floor space of any retail store in South Carolina. Henry Finlayson's many friends will be t pleased to know that he has made a name and a fortune in what is now known as the metropolis of the world. Another town in Chesterfield county will have the benefit of the DuVall service, as, in addition to continuing to operate the Cheraw Hardware Co., one of the largest retail hardware stores in the State, under the name of The Chesterfield Hardware Co., they will operate the hardware business recently purchased ILf ~ from the Armfield Hardware Co. Mr. B- Wilson, who has been assistant man* agar of the Cheraw store for about five years, will be in active change of the Chesterfield branch. Cheraw regrets to lose Mr. and Mrs. Wilson from the social and religious life of ^ our town, and they are assured of a warm welcome should they ever ref ~~"tum to Cheraw. - It ia rumored that the S. A. L. 1 Railroad Co. will, at an early date, < commence the erection of a large 1 brick warehouse on Front St. This 1 Will be quite a convenience to the * business interests of Cheraw. k Mr. E. L. Gailliard, who of recent ( f years, has been operating the St. John , * Hotel in Columbia, has arrived in , Cheraw and has assumed the manage- i ment of the Hotel Covington. Mr. l Gailliard is an experienced hotel man, i and under his management it is as- _ sured that the Covington will be op- [ era ted in a first-class manner. | There is a great deal of agitation I , among the progressive farmers near I Cheraw for the establishment of a creamery here. As a matter of fact, the money is now ready to start the creamery just as soon as a sufficient ? number of dairy cows can be made w tributary to the new creamery. Government officials estimate that there should be a minimum of at least four hundred cows before the establishment of the creamery.v mS Quite a number of Cheraw young neonli* 8? m r.? u uaiicc in unchiorr field la.st week. Amonk them were the Misses Moore, the Misses Chapman, Misa Schroyer, Messrs. Lanoy, Tracey, Chapman, Womack and Chapman. The town council has ordered that the town hall be thoroughly renovated and a considerable sum of money will be speift on same to pvtt it in firat ^ k. class condition. Prof. Smythe Henderson, who is the instructor of the recently organ^^^^^zed brass band at Chesterfield, has ^^^^lovement under way to have this made the official band for the ' 1 st Regiment, National Guard of 1 South Carolina. Those who have heard Prof. Henderson's pupils say it ' is amazing the wonderful progress t they have made in so short a time. a The officials of the Chesterfield & a Lancaster Railroad are daily looking 1 for the arrival of the handsome 12- t passenger motor car which they have t ordered for the purposes of furnish- 1 ing additional passenger service for r | the patrons of the C. & L. R. This * Mr has been ordered quite a while jjk^^d upon its arrival will be put into J P^omnussion at once. It will leave ? * Pageland early every morning in time B to make connection with the S. A. L. * HP trains at Cheraw, returning to Page- fc J land that night after the arrival of e the S. A. L. local from Columbia 1 I TRY IT!

Range: Breeds in the eastern [Jnlted States west to the plains and O the forested parts of Canada and Alaska; winters in moBt of the eastern United States. Habits and economic status: The Sicker inhabits the open country rather than the forest and delights in parkIke regions where trees are numerous rod scattered. It nests In any large cavity In a tree and readily appropriates an artificial box. It is possible, therefore, to insure the presence if this useful bird about the farm and to Increase Its numbers. It is the most terrestrial of our woodpeckers rod procures much of its food from the ground. The largest item of animal food is ants, of which the flicker sats more than any other common bird. Ants were found in 524 of the >84 stomachs examined and 98 stonlichs contained no other food. One stomach contained over 5,000 and two ethers held over 3,000 each. While bugs are not largely eaten by the llicker, one stomach contained 1? chinch hugs. Wild fruits are next to inta In Importance In the flicker's iletary.

COMMON CROW (Corrni brschyrhynchoa) Ipy Length, nineteen Inches. Range: Breeds throughout the Jnlted States and most of Canada; sinters generally In the United States. Habits and economic status: The peneral habits of the crow are universally known. Its ability to comnit such misdeeds as pulling corn ind stealing eggs and fruit and to get iway unscathed is little short of marvelous. Much of the crow's success n life is due to co-operation, and he social Instinct of the species has ts highest expression in the winter costs, which are sometimes frequentid by hundreds of thousands of crows. i*rom these roosts dally flights of nany miles are made in search of ood.

Losses of poultry and ggs may bo averted by proper housing nd the Judicious use of wire netting, 'he insect food of the crow includes rlreworms, cutworms, white grubs, nd grasshoppers, and during out ireaks of these Insects the crow reners good service.

John Knox Hair's efforts 1 to establish a new Baptist church in j this section are fast resqgffing fruition. j Work has already begun on Oakdalc Baptist Church and same will be r rushed to completion. Mr. Hair is an earnest worker and this new church already has a flourishing Sunday s school. f . .Mr. R. E. Hanna was in Oakdalc c ka few days ago with a corps of sur- ^ veyors having his plantation surveyed. It is rumored that Mr. Hanna * is going to have his land sub-divided a into small farms of about 25 acres t each and sell same to the Belgian f emigrants recently landed at Charles- Q ton on the "Wittekind." The Belgians are noted for their frugality 1 and are the most industrious people in ' the world. The land around Oakdale p is well fitted for the raising of sugar t beets, and their forms of intensive farming, for which the Belgians are noted. Mr. T. Ray Eddins, who has recently purchased a large plantation at Oakdale, is very busy making his plans preparatory for the cultivation of his six-horse farm this year. Mr. Eddins has one of the nicest farms in Chesterfield county and has a reputation for being a good business man and a successful farmer. Mr. Ira Redfeam, who recently purchased a large tract of lund just north of Oakdale landmark, the "Leaning Pine," has a large force of hands engaged in clearing up a number of acres for farming purposes this year. Mr. Redfeam has already had 36 acres prepared for cultivation and additional lands will be ready for cultivation by spring. Mr. A. A. Dougloss, Sr., has purchased from Mr. W. C. Purvis a nice tract of land and has erected thereon a handhsome bungalow. We are glad to have Mr. Douglass with us as one of our citizens as he is very progressive in his business anil hears a reputation as an inventor. i It is rumored that several repre- 1 sentatives of Savannah capitalists, who are interested in the turpentine j and rosin industry, were in this section last week investigating rosin beds on Mr. W. A. Burr's plantation. A ^ number of years ago, when rosin was F not worth very much, quite a quanti- r ty of this product was left in these ^ parts by the turpentine operators. Since the world-wide cataclysm known as the European war has cuased prices in every line to ad- 0 vance, rosin has suddenly become 3 very valuable. 11 g The many friends of John D. Smith note with pleasure that he has j been elected one of the County Board. k " ' P When Robert's Memory Shall Fade.
