CARD FROM MR. STEVENSON . ]
.
To the Democratic Voters of the Fifth 1
Congressional District: 1
I respectfully ask to be renominn'.- '
ed and re-elected to Congress from *
this District and agree to abide the
result of the Democratic Primary <
Election.
I will not be able to spend much
time in the District this summer, because
of the great amount of important
legislation growing out of the
war situation, but will attend meetings
whenever possible. It is absolutely
essential for Congressmen to
be at their post this time.

CHERAW
Special to The Advertiser.
Chcraw, S. C.?Cheraw's contribution
to the food supply of the nation
A ill begin to move in a few weeks:
vhen the local potato crop is har- i
,'ested. ()ni> of finno R-i'1- I
;hat of Mr. J. A. Watson.
The Memorial Day exercise? on
Friday, 10th, were participated in
>y the Veterans, School, Military
Company and the town people generilly.
The address was delivered by
lev. A. H. McArn, who besides givng
two sons to his country is busy
leurly every day with a special-asignment
on Red Cross work.
Quite an interesting sight is that
)f the miniature mountains which "arc
>eing made at the gravel pit on A. C.
j. R. R. below Cashs on the Anderion
plantation. These mounds are
ike large ant beds some being over
wenty-fivc feet hiprh and are the reult
of the dirt being sifted from the
*ravel.
Several of the large farmers who
danted their cotton crop very early
ave been forced to plant over on
ccount of the unusually cold weath>r
that has been prevalent.
Mr. Merchant, who has been for a
ime in charge of Wofford Fitting,
School has been elected supcrintenlent
of the local schools. Another
;rado will be added for the next
HI- *? * * 11 '
.. rw ?iiu iiii. murcnani will Do
fiven absolute authority and support
o make any needed improvements in
he sehool. Another extra levy will
>robab!y be voted on at an early
late.
The hardest blow of the war was
truck when "dopes" gave out in
hernw. Wheatless and meatless
ays are as nothing to "dopeless"
ays.
Mr. Pinkstoa, the oflicent and poplar
manager of the local Western
hiion has been promoted and will
t an early date take charge of the
flice of this company in one of the
irger North Carolina towns.
Lance Corporal Campbell, of Abrdeen,
Scotland, will be in Cheraw
lay 17 to open the local Red Cross
rive. A band from Camp Jackson
fill dispense the music which is always
enjoyable.
A very strange sight in Cheraw is
he blooming of dahlias in profusion,
'his is a fall-blooming plant and on
ccount of the several cold snaps of
ccent date, these flowers seem to
ave missed their calculations.
Messrs. J. S. McGregor and M. L.
Laley, of Ruby, were in town Monay.
Senator G. K. Laney, of Chestereld,
was in town Monday.
A consignment of Iludsons passed
hrough Cheraw Monday enroute to
outh Georgia. Among the dozen
ars was a ''Speedster," which took
he eyes for sure. ,
C. L. Urince, Esq., who is in the *
}
ospital in Baltimore undergoing
reatment, is rapidly improving, to
be delight of his many friends.
