VOL. 39?NO 17 CHESTERFIELD, S. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1920 ~~ $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE B. C. MOORE SELLS WEXFORD I JOHN x miibcx I ?' - 1 COUNTRY HOLDINGS Mr. B. C. Moore, who recently disposed of his home in Chesterfield and other valuable Main street property, 1ms sold three large farms. The place located at Guess, comprising some 600 acres was bought by the Rivers Brothers, of Mt. Croghnn. The price paid is not given out, but as the land is of fine quality and ' location it is likely that it brought a big price. I Mr. George Eddins has purchased 1 from Mr. Moore the" farm known as the Ray Eddins land, two miles 1 south-west of Chesterfield. This farm i conists of '243 acres. It is on the Chesterfield-McBee road. The price is j not made public. < Messrs J. C. Rivers, P. M. Therrell and Dr. R. L. McManus have secur- s / ed the Moore place on the Wadesboro J road. This is a 262-acre farm. The crops that have been planted, stock j and utensils were all included in this 1 dc-il and the sum of $20,000 is said to have changed hands in this trans- t OC11UII. I 1 It is estimated that Mr. Moore! has turned about $100,000 worth of j i Chesterfield town and county proper- J < ty into cash within the last few weeks. He still holds some of the f most desirable business and residence; 1 i property in town, all of which he has s 9 offered for sale.

Hurst and Mrs. L. F. Strat,on, as being incomplete, has been nade. Mr. Hurst has acquired from drs. StrattOn the plot at the corner if Main street and Paige avenue, with i forty-foot front on Main street. He vill immediately begin preparations or the erection of a building for his nercantile business. Just how exensive the building will be has not fet been determined. It was Mr. furst's original intention to erect a hree-slory building, the upper floors if which would contain office suits md living rooms, but the difficulty of ibtaining materials may cause the inper floors to be temporarily left >1T, as Mr. Hurst is very desirous of getting into his new place of busiless at the earliest possible moment, ^he original plan has by no means icon abandoned, however, and walls /ill be constructed of proper strength o accommodate additional stories. Negotiations are now being carried n with the C. & L. Railroad for the xtention of the spur track at the ear of this property ^io as to inculde he Hurst warehouse, which will be iuilt immediately. The spur will be sed to carry the materials for the ew structure to the building site.

Company : miWIWIW IWIWIWIH?IWIH| I OVERALLS IN STYLE F; MOVEMENT TO COMBAT PROFITEERING IN CLOTHING ar SPREADS OVER l" LAND da hn S' irted in The South, The Idea Takes jn Hold In All Parts of the Country. pa Biggest Cities And Littlest ' ' Towns Form Clubs til The spontaneous "overall strike" ly against the high price of men's cloth- of ing has taken the aspect of a serious Sc national movement. thi This is one movement that did not ga originate in New York, but New Hi York has adopted it. Parades in overalls have passed through the great R< clothing centers of the metropolis is and thousands of business and pro- N< fessiona! men have sanctioned the th idea. From Maine to California, be from New Orleans to Minneapolis to come reports of clubs organizing, the members of which will don overalls C( and wear them until the price of clothing comes back to where it belongs. Qf That the movement is regarded seriously by clothing dealers and nianu- t>(> facturcrs is shown in several ways. In New York the big wholesalers are ni< ridiculing the idea, saying it is a fad and will not last. In other places retail clothing merchants have cut ,).l prices on some of their goods and have displayed them with signs at- ^ tuchcd asking "Why wear overalls c when you can buy a suit so cheaply?" j j Senator Dial, of South Carolina, .vho hails from the part of the coun- . | ;ry in which the movement had its in- j] :eption, was called upon and made i speech in its defense on the floor j. if the Senate. Many Senators and ^ Congressmen expressed themselves as (|j( being in hearty favor of the strike j ind several proposed forming a club 11 the capitol and wearing overalls in heir law-making sessions. This ' iroposition has not yet been put in- a" .0 effect. K" Meanwhile, the women of the ru' :ountry are beginning to take steps n the same direction. They are be^ininng to form sister clubs, the nenibers of which pledge themselves bei ,0 wear nothing more expensive than ginghams. ,in The Governmeuit has recognized pu he movement by offering to supply ts civilian employes with regulation irmy overalls at cost. OF At present overalls are selling at n\ from $4.00 to $0.00 per suit. It is predicted that if the strike continues .0 spread these prices will soon follow in the footsteps of more expons- Sti ve garments and soar to the skies. In this event the leaders in the strike^ lay that "patch clubs" will take the place of "overalls clubs." The members of the patch clubs "\ bvill pledge themselves to wear old garments as long as they can be ( *' patched and held together. Several of these clubs have already been luI formed and some of them will from '.ime to time offer prizes to its members for the suit displaying the greatest number of necessary c'? patches. na In South Carolina clubs have been organized from one end to the other (L.!

Quite a i number of white people who are in- | lerested in the advancement and wel- ? fare of the local colored people at- ! tended. The exercises were of a high I order and reflected much credit up- I on the scholars and teachers. The i program consisted of addresses, es- j says, recitations and musical num- i bers. Rev. Foster, principal of the j school, pave a short talk on the aims, 1 objects and accomplishments of the | institution, that was worthy of es- i pccial note. The colored people of j Chesterfield are to be congratulated on their sincere efforts to educate M their children and this entertainment proved very conclusively that these , effort* are bearing fruit.

D. M RUB'" i. , LOCAL CANDIDATES HOLDING BACK i j Sheriff I). I\ Douglass has an: nouoced definately and decisively that he is not and will not be a candidate for re-election. This leaves an opening for aspirants for that office, I r.s i'? is unlikely that, had Mr. Dougt lass decided to run, an opponent ' could have been found who , would be willing to undertake I the task of defeating so popular a man. Rumor has it that there will be iat 'east three Chesterfield men in the r; c., although none have made announcement of that fact. Mr. James T. Grant, who can show a fme record as Deputy Sheriff and j who, therefore, is well qualified for 'the office d<-<s not deny that he will ' e n l ie race. Mr. Grant has many fi i. i.d . ;...d staunch supporters 1 throughout the county and will, no I ?' >ubt make a strong candidate. P is said that Mr. A. W. Hursey ! is ambitious to fill Mr. Douglass shoes Jwhen that gentleman retires to his 'agricultural pursuits and .Mr. llursey also has many friends who would i.'edge him their support.

Tiller looms large on the in: ;> as a prosp rlive candidate, but like ill" others, Mr. Tiller has not said yes ?r no to the direct question. Mr. Tiil.-r, as County Demonstration | Agent, has made many friends through excellent work in his presI out | o-iti< Ti, beside* always having been a popular man in all parts of the county. Should he enter the race there is no doubt that he would have to be reckoned with. NOTICE All persons havinir claims against the estate of C. S. Bruner, deceased, will file ante with B. F.
