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. *

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. Of these sour cum and wild
black cherry stand at the head. The
rood habits or this bird are such as to
recommend It to complete protection.
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. Injury to sprouting corn is the
nost frequent complaint against this
pedes, but by coating the seed grain
rith coal tar most of this damage may
te prevented. 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. The bird Is also
,n efficient scavenger. Rut chiefly
ecause of Its destruction of beneficial
ri!d birds end their eggs the crow
lust be classed as a criminal, and a

Pet the information of your numerotto

business at the county seat. c
The Rev. 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

"Be a living man today"
After suffering with physical trou>les,
D. D. Gordon, of 720 Seventh
St., Olympia, a suburb of Columbia,
>n October 28th declared that "I just
:an't praise Tanlac high enough, and
'our dollars' worth of Tanlac comiletely
broke up my troubles after
lundreds of dollars' worth of other
nedicines had failed to even help me."
Continuing, Mr. Gordon said:
IIT m a 1 a LI .
i sunereo irom siomacn irouDie,
tome kidney trouble and a disorder of
he bowels. I had these troubles,
>spccially the indigestion for about
'orty years. After meals I felt all
>uffcd up, I was in considerable pain,
nd my stomach was so disordered
hat my food was not digested I sufered
constantly with a severe form
f bowel trouble and my food often
assed through me before it was hardy
more than half digested. Severe
iains often aggravated this trouble,
oo.
Though, I had tried a great many
;inds of medicines that were said to
?e good for my troubles. I just kept
>n getting worse and I had lost hope
?f getting well, and, if I had not got,en
Tanlac when I did, I do not beieve
I would be a living man today.
Really, I do think Tanlac has kept me
Tom the grave.
"When I was told about Tanlac, I
lad taken so much medicine that I
lad no more faith in medicine, as it
ill had failed me, but my neighbors
cept telling me of Tanlac and finally
[ gave my son a dollar and told him
,o buy me a bottle. When I started !
aking Tanlac I was in awful shape
ind it had been months since I had
?ottcn a good-night's rest. The first
>ottle did me no'good at all, so far as
[ could tell, and I did not want to get
iny more, as I thought I was just
hrowing my money away by buying
Tanlac just as I had when I bought
he other medicines. My wife after
ne, though, and 1 bought the second
jottle.
"The second bottle was half gone
lefore I began to to feel better.
Thenthe Tanlac took hold of my trou>les
and now they have Deen comiletely
broken up. Four-bottles gave
ne complete relief, and I am in fine
icalth now.
"The Tanlac gave me a good appeite,
and now I eat three big meals a
lay, though I used to never eat a bite
f breakfast, for my system was in
uch bad shape I never was hungry
ti the mornings. I have gained a
:ood deal in weight, too, but I have
iot weighed recently, so I can't say
ust how many pounds.
"I can now eat cabbage, fish or
eef three things which were like rank
ioison to me before I took Tanlac
'he Tanlac also drove away that
leeplessness and I rest like a child
