BRASS BAND
I
On last Saturday night the Chesterfield
Brass Band gave & concert at the
regular meeting of the Woodmen.
As the Woodmen have contributed
generously to the organization and
maintenance funds of the band, they
feel a proprietory interest in it and
the members of thg band feel deeply
grateful to the Woodmen for their
support. The concert was given much
in the nature bf an evidence of good
faith on the part of the band. The
boys wished to show the Woodmen
that they were not wasting their
money. The result was very gratifying
to both the lodge and the band.
The Woodmen were highly pleased
with the progress made by the young
musicians and expressed the wish for
another and more extensive concert
at a later date.
The following are the members of
the band and the instruments played:
Carl Gaskins, Robert Y. Rivers,
John G. Merriman, Jacob Watson,
cornets; John H. Rivers, Clyde Watson,
clarinets; Oscar Liscnby, Robert
Pittman, altos; Waller D. Campbell,
James D. Wright, trombones; Grady

MR. RIVERS OPPOSES
FREQUENT RECESSES
It seems certain that the General
Assembly will not adjourn before
Febru: ry 28, which is a week over
the r* lotted forty days. Representative
J. Cljfton Rivers, of Chesterfield,
who is the senior member of the
ways and means committee, has stated
on the floor of the house that his
committee has been delayed in its
work by the frequent prolonged recesses
of the House. Mr. Rivers has
conistently objected to the week-end
adjournments, which generally
amount to a loss of two or more
working days each week, but he has
fought a minority fight.

THE ROAD BILL
JOINT COMMITTEE COMPLETES
MEASURE FOR BUILDING
STATE HIGHWAY
Each County Will Be Forced To Dc
Its Part In Road Building
The road bill, on which the joint
committee of the House and Senate
has been working for the past several
weeks, has been completed and is
ready for passage or rejection by
those bodies.
The outstanding feature of this
bill is that it would compel every
county in the State tb do its part
toward the construction and maintenance
of a State Highway system. No
county would escape the fulfillment
of its fair obligation. No county
would be required to perform more
than its fair obligation. The money
for the State Highway Commission
would be raised in every part by direct
taxation, through an annual levy
of two mills upon all taxable properiv
TV.,. ev...., i < > u
*>J ? Iiu mviivjr hi uo Irtiatu wwum Ul
expended in all instances in the county
in which it was raised but only on
roads approved by the State Highway
Commission and under the supervision
of the State Highway Commision,
In other words this money would be n
separate fund from the general road
fund of the county. The other source
of income of the State Highway Commission
would be the license fees
from uutomobiles. A new schedule oi
I fees is provided for next year which
. is graduated on the weight and char[actor
of the machine. Starting with a
minimum of $6 for automobiles ol
2,000 lbs or under, an additional $2 is
added for each 500 pounds of weight
or fractiin thereof. Trucks which
are more injurious to highways than
any other vehicle, pay at the rate oi
$10 upward according to weight. Tht
money secured from these sources
would be expended, 80 per cent, of it
in the county in which it originated,
but it, too would be expended only on
those highways which had been approved
by the State Highway Department.
FEDERAL COUNCIL URGES
CONFERENCE WITH MEXICO
Following the annual meeting ol
the executive committee of the Federal
Council of th?? Churche* ol
Christ in America, recently held al
Baltimore, a delegation from that
body proceeded to Washington to
bear to the State Department resolu
iions passed in regard to relations
with Mexico.
These resolutions urge that the
American Government do all in its
power to re-establish friendly rela
tions with that country and to take
immediate steps to head off anj
movement in this country looking
toward war with our neighbors to th<
south. The Federal Council of th<
Churches of Christ in America con
sist of more than 20,000,000 Chris
tian citizens of the United States ant
is using very effort to prevent i
widening of the breach between th<
two countries.
, DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYEF
The Southern Methodist Churcl
has appointed Friday Feb. 13th as i
day of fasting and prayer, that th<
Lord will revive vital religeoi
throughout the entire connection. A1
the members of the Chesterfield Cir
cuit are earnestly requested to ob
serve the day. There will be a prayei
service at St Paul's Church at 3:3(
P. M., lasting just forty minutes.

DECOND BANQUET
PROVES BIG SUCCESS
!" The second banquet of The Gel
Together Club, held at the Courl
House last Friday evening proved a
complete success. Nearly two hundred
ladies and gentlemen turned oul
and the capacity of the tables was overtaxed
about 100 per cent. However
all were served and the excellence of
[the fare amply repaid those who were
compelled to wait for the second table.
After the last diner had finished
the tables were cleared and Toastmaster
A. H. Hayden, in a few wellchosen
words, welcomed the guests,
especially the ladies.
The first speaker was Rev. F. M.
Cannon, who discoursed seriously and
humorously on "Neighbors." Mr.
Cannon commended the get together
meetings and hoped that they may
from this time on become a part of
Chesterfield's social program. He
kept his audience roaring with laughtor
Jl crnnrl no vf rvf f?? '
i'?i v v/? V1IV l/l III V ill 111 VVUS
heartily applauded when he had finished.
Mr. Cannon was followed by Mr. F.
G. Ilearn, who pwing to the lateness
of the hour ommittcd the serious
part of the discussion he had
been programmed to enter into and
told a few anecdotes.
Mr. P. H. Ilearn spoke of the necessity
for additional homes in Chesterfield
and emphasized the fact that
the town cannot grow without housing
facilities.
Dr. Francis J. Blair was called upon
to explain "How it feels to be
passing away?from bachelorhood."
The doctor, although apparently embarrassed
at this public expose of his
future plans, was equal to the occasion
and brought forth many laughs
by his explanation.
Mr. R. Grattan McFarlan spoke
briefly on the necessity of good
roads. While not professing to know
any more about his subject than any
of his hearers, he, nevertheless, was
able to talk mose interestingly on
that part of the topic with which he
was familiar.
Mr. C. L. Hunley explained the legal
status of the water works question
very clearly and concisely. He
pointed out the need of the system
and the necessity for action if we are
to have it.
'Mr. Roy Hurst read a delightful
composition in verse by a rising
young author. The selection was excellent
and Mr. Hurst's reading gave
it additional value.
Miss Elizabeth Lindsay, when asked
to discourse on literary subjects,
very neatly declined by staing that
women have a reputation for being
fond of talking and that she would
prove that reputation illfounded b>
refusing an opportunity to hear hei
own voice.
Mrs. C. C. Douglass spoke of the
desirability of a Chamber of Com
rnerce and a Civic League for Ches
terfield. Her few remarks were sc
impressive that it is more than prob
able that movements in this directior
will be inagurated.
Mr. W. 1'. Odom kept the assemb
lage laughing for several minutes bj
his allusions to various people an<
things.
The Chesterfield Band then render
ed several selections, during whicl
the platform was prepared for dane
i ncr
The quadrille, lancers and othei
old-time square figures were dancet
until a late hour.
The date of the next "get togeth
er" has not been announced but thosi
present last Friday night hope it wil
: not be far distant.

a
; Editor Advertiser: r
> Please allow me to say a few words v
. in regard to the "Controversy over a h
flag station," an account of which apl
peared in last week's issue of you'- 8
paper. v
When the C. & L. railroad was f
, built the people began talking about a
a siding and after thorough discussion
throughout the section it decid- P
ed that Catoe was the place best suited r
to benefit the largest number of peo- w
pie. The landowners agreed to give y
a road from the Wamble Hill School 1
House to the siding, so the Wamble S1
Hill Local Union took up the matter s'
and appointed Mr. F. W. Rivers to
confer with the railroad managers. w
After consulting with the railroad n
people Mr. Rivers reported that we ti
could have the siding provided we
would buihfit ourselves. So the Union,
with the co-operatior. of the neo
pie 4 or 5 miles north and south of V
Catoe, bought the frog, cut and hauled
the ties and hauled some
of the rails from Cruze's
Branch. I want to say right
here that hauling iron rails on a farm a!
wagon is a man's job, when the rails ti
had to be loaded from the ground, tl
The people met with Mr. Rivers act- ^
ing as foreman of the "gang" and j
put the siding in. So it is no man's
siding and no man claims it ; it belongs
to the public and the public has a<
the use of it. n
Now there is a siding at Mr. W. C. d
Sellers' place, put in by him and used it
by himself as he sees lit. No one ob- u
jects to his having it. What we ob- r,
ject to is taking public property and 0
applying it to private uses. s,
Mr. Sellers said sometime ago a ti
road walker came along and asked S1
why he did not have Catoe station S;
moved to Webster Spur. Then the tl
road manager said something about it
and advised him to go to Columbia t
and see the railroad commissioners rj
about it. This Mr. Sellers did. Later p
on the commissioners wrote Mr. Sell- ^
ers stating that on a certain date they r
would be at his place and to notify p
; the people of the meeting and es- c
pccinlly those who would oppose mov- t.
i ing the siding. The day before the e
meeting was to be held Mr. Sellers t
sent one of his hands to one of his a
, neighbors to tell him of this meeting. v
There happened to be present a [j
: friend of Catoe, who heard for the r
1 first time of the meeting. This man t
' went at once to see Mr. F. W. Rivers r
about it," on receipt of this news, laid v
aside his work and went at once to
t see Mr. Sellers. He found that there ^
was a move on foot to move Catoe f
- and also found a letter from the rail- j
> road commissioners instructing Mr.
Sellers what to do. Mr. Sellers admit- j.
i ted receiving the letter on Saturday
night and it was now Wednesday af
ternoon. Mr. Rivers went out and
r spread the news. By the time the <
1 train reached Catoe the next morn- y
in^c there was quite a crowd (
there that boarded the train t
i and went to Mr. Sellers' j
- place. Mr. Editor here is where the (
fun comes in. Mr. Sellers, when ask- y
r ed by the commissioners if he had (
1 done all he could to let the people ,
know of the meeting, said that he ]
- had. When pressed by Mr. Rivers |
to name those he had told he said: |
1 "My uncle and s/ e of my cousins." (
Mr. Sellers has one uncle and one |
cou-in in business with him at that i
place. (
1 The petition placed before the com- t
- mission gives the distance from Cal
toe to Webster Spur, Mr. Sellers' <
y place at "about" a half mile ;from
I Webster Spur to Ruby as "about" j
, three miles, placing Webster about j
half way between Chesterfield and i l
- Uul>y. As a matter of fact it is two ft
p and one fourth miles from Chester- j
1 field to Catoe; one and one half miles |
. from Catoe to Webster and, there- , t
1 fore, two and 'i from Webster <
. to Ruby. It is easy to see that it re.
quire*; a good many "abouts" to place '
| Webster half way between Chester-! ^
field and Ruby. And the halfway I
. point is the t?ijr argument made in |
i* favor of Webster,, while Webster is in <
s reality no nearer halfway between i
1 Chesterfield and Ruby than is Catoe. ?
In regard to the Flag Station and
t tin* traveling public. Mr. Sellers says 1
s he has all that he needs; that he <
r can stop the train any time, day or <
I night for himself, family or friends, i1
f The tank is only a few hundred yards i
* distant, where Mr. Sellers' enemies, ]
p if he has any, can get on or off the (
train when it stops for water.As for *
the business that the commissioners |
examined at Catoe, whose books did i
I hey investigate? Did they go to 1
1 Chesterfield, Ruby, Morven or Wades
boro? Did they see Messrs Watson,
? Lisenby or Cole? Did they see the ,
1 poplar and lumber and cross-ties men
I of the county? When the commis1
sioners saw the condition of things
f they left it to a petition, mapping out
the country and asking us to get
white signers only. Mr. F. W. Rivers
had the petition prepared and sent
!. messages to the principals of Center
L~?- ' ' * ' " ' rZ
- ?
Wexford and ^ \ II
chools which brought a

rhe fact that about three hundred

is a good indication that the
farmers are thoroughly awake to the

this pest, and are anxious to take

II. G. Boylestin, Barnwell County.
We hope to get at least three large
sweet potato storage houses in the
county located in different sections.
We believe they will be very useful

We had another car load of red

potatoes and tobacco along with other
food crops will help us to sucessfully
meet the boll weevil.
