$1000 FOR RED CROSS
? The American Rod Cross is going
to ask the public between November
2nd and 11th, next, to contribute cash
to carry on the work of this, the
greatest of all relief organizations.
The Red Cross work is not complete.
There are today 125,000 American
soldiers nnd sailors either sick or
wounded in our hospitals needing attention
and the Red Cross can not
and will not desert these men. The
American public would not think of
allowing the great, work of the Red
Cross to suffer at this time. Funds
are needed, for the more contributed
for war work has been expended, and
wisely so too. Ask any saldier or
sailor boy about the Red Cross and
thev will he lniul in their nroi -jeu I
Chesterfield County will do her part
in the drive, Nov. 2-11. Cheraw,
Pageland, Mt. Croj^h.an, Jefferson,Ml Bee,

are preparing to raise their share
of the money needed. The town of
Chesterleld is jrointf to he asked to

SIX INDUSTRIOUS
FOLSOM SISTERS
That it is sometimes necessary to
go away from home to get home news
is evidenced by a clipping from the
Thomasville, Georgia, Times-Enterprise,
of recent date. By reading the
article it will be seen that it concerns
Chesterfield to a very considerable
extent. It follows:
The story of six young Thomas
County sisters and what these young
women are doing for themselves is
being told here and it is worth giving
io me pumic.
By the death of their father last
year and their mother the year before,
the Misses Folsom, of Boston,
were left orphans. They have a
comfortable home in Boston, where
it Christmas and for a time in summer,
they meet, but at the end of
.heir holidays they lock it up until
the time rolls around when they all
meet there uguin.
Two of the sisters have worked in a
town in upper Georgia, one as a
teacher and the other as a book-keeper.
One is a milliner in Chesterfield,
South Carolina, one is a teacher in
Barwick and another is principal of
the school at Freedonia, Georgia.
The youngest sister is at M illcdgeville,
completing a course at the Georgia
Normal ami Industrial College,
o fit herself for a position that will
make her self-supporting also. This
:s a record seldom equalled by a family
of this size and is another instance
>f how the women of this day are
supporting themselves.
The young lady mentioned above
is being in Chesterfield is Miss Viola
Folsom, who several weeks ago took
charge of the millinery department
?f the II. VV. 1'usser stores. Miss
Folsom is a eharming young lady,
bright and vivacious, yet unassuming.
When permitted a few minutes in her
lepartment the Advertiser man's only
regret was that he was not in need of
a large assortment of millinery.
THE DOCTOR PERRY

Spencer and Douglass Farms, then

IUCH ACCOMPLISHED
BY "LAY-BY"SCHOOLS
Complete reports from the "Layy'
Schools in Chesterfield County,
ist August, show that much good
as accomplished in this comparativer
new field of endeavor. While the
gures aer not as large as was hoped
>r, it is an excellent start and will
ndoubtedly increuse in the future
atil illiteracy becomes a thing of the
ist.
There is much food for thought in
le comparison of the figures from
le white anil colored schools. Whcler
the fact that nearlyfive times as
any colored illiterates took advanige
of the opportunity to gain the
idiments of education offered by
icse schools was due to there being
eater numbers of illiterates among
embers of that race, or to h greater
nbition on the part of the negro
an the white illiterate is not clear.
The colored illiterate is much easr
to persuade to enter school than
e white. This is due to the greater
fibarrassment of adult white pern
who cannot read or write.
Following are the figures compiled
