The remaining $750 is to be supplied by the live ichools served by the agent. It now leems that the schools to be thus u-rved are Jefferson, Mt. Croghan, liuby, Pageland and probably Shiloh. It has long been recognized by progressive educators that the pupils DUght to be learning something bearing directly on their probable life work while they are mastering the regulation school curriculum. This move in Chesterfield County is a definite step in that direction.

J. A. KNIGHT, For County Board of Education FIRST TO GO Chesterfield County has given her first increment to the great National Army of Select men. Of the twenty names sent up to the district board ind published in last week's issue of rhe Chesterfield Advertiser eight ivere selected to go at once and four Alternates were provided in case any me of them failed to appear at the point of mobilization. All twelve men appeared promptly it Cheraw Tuesday afternoon and it is said the only disappointed ones were the four alternates, who seemed noxious to go. The eight who did tco seemed perfectly happy at the thought of composing Chesterfield bounty's van guard in the great army. All twelve of them were entertained in fine fashion by Cheraw citizens, fhere were so many applications to Lake the young men to the various homes in town that a compromise was struck and they were entertained at the Hotel Covington, where a special menu was provided and everything possible was done for their comfort. If the remainder of the great army proves to he as enthusiastic over the ijreat service they are to render humanity, the National Army of the United States will undoubtedly be the finest in point of morale the world lias produced. The First Eight. Following is the list of the first to Co: Frank H. Lee, Angelus, in charge. John Ellis Graves, I'ageland. Raymond II. Jenkins,-Chesterfield. William R. Eddies, Ruby.

It is considered probable that many of the [Iritish officers selected for this assignment will he Americans who have teen service in the British or French livisions. American soldiers on Wednesday vilf see men advance under artillery jarrage fire for the first time. It will, of course, be only a practice barrage, but the French will lay a rurtain of fire as if under actual battle conditions, and will show their American students how closely they ran follow the protecting wall of fire when properly trained artillery men are directing it.

There is a heavy travel through Chesterfield these days to and from the mountains of western North Carolina. The bridge over Pee Dee river at Cheraw is the only crossing on this ri\'cr from its mouth at Winyaw bay to more than a hundred miles above Cheraw, consequently all the travel from eastern South Carolina and eastern and central North Carolina lo the mountains is directed through Che| raw, Chesterfield, Pugeland, Monroe ^ and Charlotte. Leaving Charlotte there are two routes, one straight through to Asheville, the other via the National Highway to Spartanburg and Greenville and then to tho mou tains.
