ELECTS OFFICERS The physicians of Cheraw gave a shad dinner to the members of the Chesterfield Medical Socifety at the Covington Hotel last Tuesday evening, the occasion being the regular meeting of the body and the election of officers for the coming year.

Vice President, Dr. I. S. Fundcrburg, Cheraw. Secretary! Treasurer, Dr. R. L. Gardner, Chestefield. Dr. T. E.

I'imia na??f e PVmof ' . .VMM |/?t vo \/i v;iicntvi IICIU t'UUIIiy I had been severely damaged by frost Monday night are evidently without 1 foundation as inquiry made by the 1' Advertiser in the heart of the fruit ' belt resulted in the information that 1 there was little or no frost and that ' fruit is in fine condition with good 1 prospects for the bigest crop in the nistory of the county. J i BEN GAINEY DEMENTED ? Mr. Ben Gainey became demented 'on the streets of Chesterfield a few ' lays ago and was taken in charge by < Deputy Sheriff Grant. He was held ' for observation for some time and ' A-as taken to the State Hospital at Columbia. Ilis abberation took a Harmless turn, the alllicted man insisting that he had been called upon 1 to preach the gospel throughout the ' and and to warn sinners that the end of the world was scheduled for July ' 4th. It is thought that his derange- ' mcnt is temporary. I n 1 NOTES FROM HOPEWELL * I Miss Virginia Fincher, of Rock : Hill, is visiting her sister, Mrs. L. G. ' Lisenby. ! Mr. D. F.

Benefits Are Real ' i I Nature never intended that any j man or woman should be made un- < happy with thin, worn-out, sluggish j bodies. Why, then, do men and women . with poor, thin, blood (anemia) ac- ( cept this condition, thinking that it < is natural that they should remain this way? How unhappy such people make themselves and those around them! And it is all so unnecessary, ( for unless you suffer .from some . deep-seated ailment, you can soon < remedy any form of poor health caused by thin, impoverished blood. Pepto-Mangan is prepared just for ;uch people. Pepto-Mangan contains the very elements that impart richness to the blood and increase the sup| ply of the tiny red-blood cells that | good blood must contain. Pepto-Mangan is put up in both liquid and tablet form. Both forms are exactly alike In medicinal qualities. When you order Pepto-Mangan, be sure to ask the druggist for "Gude's". And look for the name "Gude's" on the package. If I "Gude's" is not there, it is not Pep- | to-Mangaq. Adv. DUUiTl HI HEAL LdlAlL MUCH ACTIVITY IN CHESTERFIELD REAL ESTATE AT HIGH FIGURES B. C. Moore Sells His Home And Adjoining Lots?Farmers Hardware Company Buys Store Hon. G. K. Laney Acquires Main Street Lots There have of late been many rumors of big deals in Main street property, but, until the last few days these rumors have been based on unfinished deals. Within the week, however, several of these deals have been made and the deeds recorded.. On Tuesday Mr. J. M. Redfearn bought from Mr. B. C. Moore the residence and large plot adjoining that has for some time been the home of Mr. Moore, for a consider ution of $17,000. Mr. Redfearn then sold to Mrs. JohnT. Hurst the lot adjoining the lluist property, about which there has been a dispute between Mrs. Hurst and Mr. Moore,for $5,000. The Moore residence contains sight rooms on the ground floor, with a possibility of several rooms being added upstairs without the necessity altering the roof. There is a good frontage on Main Street and altogether about five acres in the plot. Tiuch of it extending well to the rear jf the premises. The Main street property of Miss ' Sally Chapman was sold at auction 1 an Monday. It was bought by Hon. (J. K. Lancy for $12,000, the next J' lighest bidder being Mr. C. C. Doug- ( lass whose last offer was $11,500. j This property has a frontage on | 1 Vlain street of 85 feet and is about i 1 100 feet deep. Mr. Laney was al-1 ready in possession of the adjoiningjot, which has a frontage of 40 feet. 1! Mr. .John T. Hurst has purchased a j 1 large building lot at the corner of ( Main street and Paige avenue for the i purpose of erecting a business house | for his mercantile business. While I VIr. Hurst has signed and delivered he deeds to the owner, Mrs. L. F. Strulton, of Charlotte, they have not >ccn returned with Mrs. Stratton's signature, so this transaction is not :ompleted, but there is little proba- ' )ility of its not being consummated. ( Mr. C. C. Douglass has purchased ( he lot on which the C. A. Ilendrix itore stood before the recent fire. This is a small parcel but its location nukes it a very valuable one. The Farmers' Hardware Company las purchased the new building which j t now occupies, from Mr. B. C. Vloore for $10,000. The sale in- , ludes the warehouse in the rear of J he store building. The store has a dain street frontage of 40 feet and j he lot extends back 1G0 feet from < he street. Hearing that the property had bee** i ifTered for sale und that several part- ( es were bidding for it, Mr. G. M. Smith, manager of the Farmers Hardvare Company, quickly got in touch , vith the other members of the corjoration and made Mr. Moore the < imposition. It was accepted and the leal was consummated. This enter- , irising and rapidly growing concern ( s to be congratulated in securing one >f the finest locations in Chesterfield it a very reasonable price. The luilding, which Mr. Moore erected f ust previous to the famine in buildng materials and high cost of buildng would undoubtedly cost more to :onstruct to-day than the sale price >f both buildings and lot. The Farmers Hardware Company is ? i corporation and is composed of Mr. { j. M. Smith, Chesterfield; Dr. R. L. j VIcManus, Chesterfield; Messrs. L. J. Watford, Pageland; James A. Stew- j irt, Monroe, and W. F. Mastin, Char- ] otte. Messrs. Paul II. and Fred G. Ilearn i lave recently purchased the building ind lot on CJreen street which is now ( the ofF eo of Tlio Advertiser. They I lave also acquired the property next ; lo >r to the North, in which Mr. and Mrs. Lee Melton are now residing, rhej had previously bought a 35-foot lot adjoining The Advertiser building on the South. It is hoped to make extensive improvements on this property in the near future. Mrs. L. F. Stratton has deeded to the town of Chesterfield a strip of ten feet running from Main street down Paige Avenue to within a few feet of Railroad street. The town of Chesterfield then purchased from Mrs. Stratton an additional five-foot sttip. This fifteen feet will be devoted to widening Paige avenue, giving that thoroughfare a width of 40 feet. Mrs. Stratton owns about 175 feet on Main street between the property which Mr. Hurst will acquire and the new picture house of Mr. B. C. Moore, which she has announced she will place on the market at the flat price of $75.00 per front foot. ThiR is a remarkably low price for some of the most desirable business property on Main street and it is not likely to remain on the market long. Mr. Joel Catoe is asking for bids on | the former site of the Chesterfield L|iMgitfci<||M| iit n .., ?uu ix ia miuwii truit several large offers have been made but, so far, none have been accepted. It is hoped that the activity in the realty market indicates an early boom in building:, the town being in serious need almost every description of structure, from dwellings to business houses, office and hotel property. A number of building projects on a large scale have recently fallen through on account of Chesterfield's 1 having no waterworks, the intending , builders maintaining that insurance rates are too high and the fire risk too , great to justify the investment in expensive buildings. Now that there is , evidence that waterworks will be io- . stalled in the near future it is more , than likely that these projects will be j carried out. ( PEACE AND LIBERTY j CAMPBELLS MOTTO < I Editor Advertiser: < In regard to the situation of the po- i litical question it seems to me there | are many thorns that must be pulled i out or we must send up another rail ] splitter for President.

We | must not destroy the precious word liberty for naught. If I can be of any help in this cause my help is ready at any time or any place. 1 know the situation: We are being led blindly by the enemies of our country.

L.1-KMAN SITUATION SHOWS IMPROVEMENT The German situation lias greatly improved during the past week, pasticularly in Berlin. While the Government has yielded in certain directions to the trade unions and Socialists Parties, there no longer seems to be any immediate danger of the creation of an all-Socialist Cabinet, a step which seemed inevitable at one time during the previous week. A conference between the insurgents and the Government officials it Munster is reported to have ended | latisfaetorily, the Government having extended the amnesty offer in accordance with the stipulations of the Bielefed agreement. At Essen there is some dissatisfaction with the remits of the Munster conference, but most of the members of the Central Committee maintain an optimistic attitude. Apparently reliable information from the Ruhr region says that the workers' Council at Hagen and Dusseldorf will accept the conditions sf the Government. Though General Watter has not been recalled he has received orders not to advance into the industial region, Later reports show that the general nosition here is not so serious. TOLL OF THE TORNADO The tornadoes which swept through light Southern and Middle-Western states on Palm Sunday caused more han 160 deaths, according to latest ivailable reports. By States, they occurred as follows; Indiana, 36, 111 ilois, 30; Ohio, 20; Michigan, 11; Misiouri, 1; Wilconsin, 1; Georgia, 38; ind Alabama, 17. More than 1,500 mesons were injured,and the proper- 1 y loss is estimated at $10,000,000. \ccording to Weather Bureau re>orts the Middle-Western tornado vas the result of two storms, one of i vhich developed in Alaska, traveled hrough British Columbia and joined i storm from the Southwest, the ombination geenrating a rotary moion, which formed huge eddies and aused the disastrous results which accompanied the storm. Although the ornado traveled forward at the rate if about fifty miles an hour, the wind it the core of the tornado was esti- 1 nated to have had a velocity of from < !00 to 300 miles an hour. i ON GROWING "SUGAR SPUDS" < 1 Clemson College, April 1,?Information Card No. 6 "Sweet Potatoes: .

[l<J W.F.STEVENSON. SHOOTING AFFRAY ( AT NEGRO SCHOOL A social supper at the Chesterfield Academy, the negro school, last Friday night terminated in a shooting scrape in which two negroes were wounded, one seriously, the other badly but not dangerously. The row started when Hob Smith became attentive to a woman against the advice of Clendon Howell. Howell suddenly whipped out a pistol and fired six times at Smith. Four shots went wild, but two took efiect, one in j the shoulder of Smith and one in the ? face of Joe Alford, an innocent bystander. In the consternation that followed IIowcll escaped to his buggy and got under way. He drove into a fence and wrecked the buggy but quickly took the harness from the horse and resumed his fight bareback. Deputy Sheriir J. T. Grant was soon in pursuit and was close on the heels of the fleeing man when llowell abandoned the horse, near Evans Mil! and took to the woods. Trace of him was there lost and no word of him ha: since been heard. Dob Smith is seriously wounded, the bullet having ranged downwaid from the shoulder and lodged near t he vital ogans.i li. has not been located and it is thought Smith's recovery is doubtful. Alford was not so badly hurt. Urn bullet striking the jaw bone and ranging around under the skin and coming out at the back of the neck. GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL Martens, the "Soviet Ambassador." has offered to leave the country, according to Washington report, which nuiiltf'*: h!?v? *10 - l-1 * ? * ...in niji, III a ll'lllT I" Secretary of State Colby, that he loos not care to stay here unless the State Department will recognize the Russian Soviet Government. The State Department, it is saiii, will ignore the letter considering ii as an attempt to trick tlie American Government into a declaration of its attitude regarding the present Russian regime. A resolution to end ttie war status has been agreed to by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives and introduced in the House by a member. The resolution | declares that the state of war with Germany is at an end and undertakes to wipe from the statute books of the country all Federal legislation, including Presidential proclamations based thereon, which was enacted solely for war purposes and which tvas intended to expire at or within t definite period after the end of the ivar. The resolution also includes provisions intended to place the United States in much the same position regarding the Treaty of Versailles as if ( that document had been ratified by the Senate; giving Germany l'ortyive days in which to declare that the war with the United States has milled and to agree to waive any claim against the United States that she would not have under the treaty; providing that if Germany does not do this the President shall proclaim the fact; and providing further that upon the issuance of such Presidenta! proclamation all trade with Germany, except such as shall be authorized by Presidental license, shall cease until such time as the President shall have proclaimed the receipt of such notification. The "leak" in the U. S. Supreme Court, resulting in the giving out of advance information regarding cor- ' tain recent decisions of that body has been made tin- basis for action by the Grand Jury at Washington, 1>. indictmetns having been returned against four men alleged to have been implicated in the crime. It i: -aid that the persons involved in the matter made only $1,111'. Senator Newberry of Michigan, ae cording to a Washington report, will not ve.-ume hi- seat in the Senate until after the disposition of cm -lion: is to his status arising from the con ! viction in the Michigan election con-J .--piracy ca es. It is said that the Sen [ ators who were active in pressing for | investigation of the Michigan Sena-J toria) contest were prepared, had i Newberry put in an appearance in j the Senate, to seek his expulsion on i the ground of his conviction en :i ! criminal charge. Even though Mr. Newberry neither participates in any roll call nor is paired on any votes, the Republican control of the Senile by a majority of one will eo tin ic the alignment being 48 to 47. Herbert Hoover has attracted much attention not only in political circles but throughout the entire country by an announcement that, subject to certain conditions, he is willing to run for President on the Republican ticbet. Air. Hoover declares his attitude regarding the League of Nations, as being "in favor of th<League of Nations, with proper re> ervations safeguarding American traditions and interests." Feed Oat* and Corn both have advanced since I bought, and I am sell, ing White Clipped Oats and Bone Dry 1 Virginia White Corn at bargain 1 prices. W. P. ODOM. n v ,v ,4 THE WORLD AT LARGE The Sultan should be ousted from Constantinople, according to views stated by President Wilson in a note wherein the President replied to the to the rccnt request of the French Government for the views of the United States on the tentative decisions reached by the Allied Powers regarding the Turkish settlement. The Presdent makes light of the "holy-war" fear expressed by the British statesman, saying: "It cannot be believed that the feelings of the Mohammedan peoples, who not only witnessed the defeat of the Turkish power without protest, but even materially assisted in the defeat, will now so resent the expulsion of the Turkish Government as to make a complete reversal of policy mi the part of the great powers (ies! -able or necessary." The Danes want a republic. A re oi nt report from Copenhagen states that the retirement of the King and Cabinet of Denmark has been denanded and a general strike called for the purpose of forcing out the present Government and che making po. sible the establishment of a republie. D'Annunzio, tiie poet soldier on whom the attention o the world was centered a few weeks ago because of his seizure of Fiume in defiance of both Italy and the Suprehie Council at Paris, i.? railed a "mad despot" in an appeal hy the Sociailists of Fiume to "the workmen of the entire worid," in which appeal is stated that "the mad despot and his followers have no pity, and their mad fury hus reached unbelievable heights." Occupation of Fiume hy regular troops is advoeated. The ex-Kaiser is still the subject of concern on the part of the Allies, a new note having been delivered to Holland regarding the matter, in which the responsibility assumed by the Dutch Government in connectiin with the guarding of the former German Empcrior is emphasized. Peru ims made amends to Bolivia, according to a dispatch from Buenos Aires, which says that an official Bolivian statement declares that Peru has given ample satisfaction to Bolivia and has presented her regrets for the recent attacks upon the Bolivian Legation in Lima and the Consulate in Mollcndo. Japan has notified the United Stales, France and England that she is prepared to renounce certain concessions in Manchuria and Mongolia, this action being taken in response to certain urgent representations by the powers. From Tokio comes the word that seven hundred Japanese troops and civilians were kiiled in a two-day batLle wi'h Russian Bolshevik forces at N'ikolnevsy, Siberia. America's Rhine force is not unier the command of Field Marshal Foch. This fact has been stated to the House of Representatives by President Wilson in his reply to a recent resolution calling for information regarding the "exact status of he American military forces now Rationed in German territory." The President's statement reads in part is follows: "Replying specifically to questions ;n the resolutions of the House of Representatives 1 will state that Field Marsha! Ferdinand Foch has no authority over United States troops in Herman territory nor can any one direct their activities without express uder from the Pre ident of the United States. "It should be stated further that tnder hi- general police powers under t' ? terms of t.he armistice, Genral Allen has full authority to utilize in.- ii.M>(i.- n?r poncing me occupier ilb t rid for the preservation of oriicr, ami to repel s.ny attack i ich lav.; be made upon him."
