The Chesterfield Hardware Company has rented the building lately j vacated by II. W. I'usser & Sons and I will cut an arch between the two I stores.

John Welch is undertaking | to get some of the boys in trim forfl Isirvicc in case the call comes for volunteers. He worked out the firsi J batch of rookies on Friday and Satur0 day, and on Sunday none of the 0 bunch was able to go to church, being slightly incapacitated. Chesterfield ia irapidly becoming a 1 trading center of the Pee Dee sec| tion. Not content with trade in such staple commodities as horses, mules, cows, sheep and gouts, we understand that a large trade is now being built up in game roosters, one party 9 having disposed of about a dozen in a short time last week. 10 The winter just passed will long be remembered by certain families in town. They were first visited by grip, 0 then by measles, then chicken pox, ? with a little mumps thrown in occaU sionally. It is said that certain of these families have made inquiries for any other contageous diseases , ! that mijrht now be jfoinjc around, as they would like to make a clean sweep while they are at it.

The boy scouts are so proud of their kahki uniforms that they are wearing them every day and imagine themselves embryonic soldiers. Town Clerk R. M. Myers has a flaring sign out stating that the penalty will be collected on all town taxes" sj paid after March 15th. j The many friends of* Bunk Myers ! are glad to see him on the streets < again after wrestling with Col. . j Measles. Court of Common Pleas will con-]; vene at Cresterfield for a two week's ; session on Monday, April 16. Judge j G. E. Prince will preside. The civil J docket is, as usual, badly conjestedjj and there will be full two weeks \ Court in order to try to relieve the !! conjested calendar. | J Under a new law, just passed by^ ; the General Assembly, whiskey ad- j yertisements in newspapers will soon j \ be prohibited. This law goes into < effect to-morrow, and this is the last { week that these whiskey ads can be | < puoiisned. This law docs not worry j The Advertiser, however, because we < do not carry that class of advertising J anyway. ! Judge Prince stated that during the < last term of court that there was t J more noise in the Chesterfield Court House than in any other court room j he knew. Several times the grand j Jury has recommended that the aisles < of the Court House he carpeted, but ! for some reason or other this has nev- ; er been done, but it is not too late i yet. : The new magistrate, John G. Hur- j sey, has been very busy of late hold- < ing court. One case tried Tuesday J was that of J. II. Johnson vs. Chap Jones, the court reserving its decision. Another interesting case held by Mag- i istrates Hursey and Douglass, was a Habias Corpus proceeding for possession of six colored children. The court showed common sense and gave mrec 01 me cnnuren u> one puny anu three to the other. Hon. W. F. Stevenson, member of Congress, has returned to Cheraw after spending some time in Washington. Mr. Stevenson is very busily engaged now preparatory to leaving for Washington to attend the extra session of Congress which convenes April 10th. It is predicted by Speaker Champ Clark that Congress will be in continuous session from April 10, 1917 to August, 1918. Mr. Stevenson will therefore be engaged in Washington for the next fifteen months. Time for payment of taxes with the 7 per cent, penalty added expires today, and the County Treasurer, under the law, will have to place executions in the hands o fthc sheriff now for all unpaid taxes. In this connection we will state for the information of the public that Treasurer W. A. Douglass does not go out of office until July 1st. A good many people have been mailing checks to J. A. Welch, Treasurer-elect when they should have been sent to Treasurer Douglass. Mr. Welch does not assume the office of county treasurer until July 1st. In the United States Court at Florence last week the Germans who sank a ship at Charleston in the latter part of February in an attempt to blockade the channel to the United States government Navy Yards, were convicted. Messrs. A. W. Hursey and Ems. G. Ingram were on the jury, which recommended mercy. United Judge II. A. M. Smith sentenced the defendants to pay o fine of $f>00 each and serve one year in the Federal penitentiary in Atlanta. They are now out on bond of $0,000 each, ; pending appeal to the U. S. Circuit I Court. Work will soon be started on the power plant on Pee Dee River near McFarlan. The retaining wall?or, in other words, the dam?will be 00 feet high, and the back water will run almost to Blueitt Falls. It will be of interest to remember that this dam is right on the line between North and South Carolina. The Gradys at one time conducted a large resort hotel near these falls, this being one of the most picturesque sections in the State. A fortune was spent, on a canal around the falls so as to open the river to navigation. This was done about 1850, when Cheraw was the head of navigation on the Pee Dec. The North Carolina ! towns on the Pee Dee wereorcry jealous of the large amount of trade ' that moved to Cheraw on that ac ; couni. i ne canai was never completed because of the war coming j on. These falls are about 14 miles from Chesterfield in an air line. Cheap commercial power for this territory is predicted when this plant is completed. A trolley line from Charlotte by way of Monroe and ' Wadesboro to the Pee Dee section of I this State is contemplated.' This , would give direct trolley connections 1 from this section to Atlantu, as the i final work is being done on the line from Spartanburg by Greenville to| ward Atlanta. | It is hinted that a government agent is in town getting the names of all negroes not actually and regui larly employed. In this connection it is said that conscription will be very effective and quick in its operations against idle negroes in case of hostilities with Germany. It is said that Chesterfield county could spare a colored regiment from the number of 1 idle negroes without any disturbance \ of the labor situation. , . ? r ?? 1 lg==?g==SttgggSgM^ 1 m I For Larger Postofiice The petitions for n large post-of-j fice building in Chesterfield has gone to Congressman Stevenson. It seems to be an assured fact that better facilities are obtainable, if the citizens of Chesterfield will do their part by manifesting sufficient interest therein. Not only is the lobby small, but our efficient postmistress and her assistants are cramped for room. An excellent plan has been proposed by Mr. T. P. Craig for a town hall and postoffice combined. He offers to back his proposition with a $100 contribution for the enterprise. Here is the idea he advances and it seems to be an excellent one: The building shall be constructed to accommodate a Y. M. C. A. and Y. VV. C. A., with library and recreation rooms and gymnasium. It should have a public nuditorum for public gatherings, for which there is a great need. In addition there should be a rest room for the ladies wno come to tov/n from the surrounding country on shopping expeditions. This is an ambitious enterprise, hut it would seem entirely feasible. The second $100, we understand, has been promised. A ladies' rest room, a town hall and a larger post office are needed in Chesterfield. We would like to see Mr. Craig's plan adopted and pushed to a successful culmination. Members of the Hopewell Sunday school will take a religious census of that community on Sunday afternoon, the 25th. Each individual will be invited to Sunday school. The committee asks that the people be at home on that afternoon, so as to facilitate their work.
