SEALS TO FIGHT THE
GREAT WHITE PLAGUE
Columbia, Nov. 0j?The 1920
Christmas Seal Sale is not a new
movement, says a statement issued
by the executive committee of the
South Carolina Tuberculosis Association.
Since 1907 they have been sold
to support anti-tuberculosis activities.
"We realize," says the association
"that the people are tired of ' drives'
and 'Mitinalopni ? MOt...
Auanjf Vi^OIIl^aUUIlb j
since the war, are raising great!
amounts of money through campaigns
and drives. The Christmas Seal Sale '
is not a new movement. The people
know these little seals and are anxious
to buy them.
"Ninety-five per cent, of the money
realized from the sale of the seals and
health bonds will remain in South
Carolina. The remaining five per cent,
goes to the National Tuberculosis Association
with which the South Carolina
Tuberculosis Association is afflliated.
"Of the 95 per cent, that remains
in South Carolina a very large per
cent, of this is divided among the
county associations.
"The five per cent, that goes to
the National Tuberculosis Association
is used all around the globe. Wherever
the flag of the Ignited States fiies
whether in the Philippines, Porto
Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, Maine or California,
the double barred cross and
the National Tuberculosis-Association
are there.
"It is an inspiration to tell that
finnlk -t
uv.?u uuviiua uivii^ wun uie omer
states and territories of Uncle Sam
are standing shoulder to shoulder in
a solid front against the tuberculosis
bacillus. This tiny germ, so insignificant
and invisible and yet so powerful i
that it is today demanding a death toll j
larger than any other plague, is how- (
ever being gradually controlled and 1
we may look forward to that day |
when it will be completely under the ,
sway of man. Until that time comes ;
South Carolina has a mission not on- \
ly to her own citizens, but the citizens
of the world." i

AMERICAN PRODUCTS EXPORT
CORPORATION CALLS
CITIZENS
Cbevtarfield County Has Subscribed
$41,000, But Much More Is
U 1- ?
iiwasa
The American Products Export and
Import Corporation has applied for
its charter, more than half of the
capital stock of one million dollars
having been subscribed.
This organization is made up entirely
of Southern farmers and business
men. Its officers explain that
this organization , if properly backed
by the people most interested, the
cotton growers themselves, will very
soon be in a position to open up new
markets throughout the world and to
conduct the business entirely through
Southern channels. Enough money, or
cotton ,has not yet been subscribed
to make this corporation independent
and self reliant. For that reason another
subscription campaign has been
planned to* take in every section of
the state. This campaign will start
Monday next, November 15. and will
end November 20.
Ex-Governor Richard I. Manning in
speaking of the importance of this
campaign to the South Carolina farmer,
said:
?4T* ?1 o It * -
*1 ?.iiu ouumern iarmer tails to
seize this opportunity of becoming indepdendent
then, in the years to come
he will have no one to blame but himself.
Let every one rally to the support
of the American Products Export
and Import corporation. Those
who have subscribed should. double
their subscription ; those who have not
subscribed should hasten to do so. It
is unfortunate that the farmers of
the state who have the most at stake
have not subscribed in accordance
with their names, and this is true
in a large measure of the business
interests. The importance of this
matter overshadows any other economic
question now before the Southern
people. Be sure to attend the
meetings in your county."
The Arst ChesterAeld-County meeting
will be held at the court house on
itlonday at 11 o'ciock. The Extension
Service of Clemson College, which is
taking an active interest in this organization,
will provide two good
i-peakers. The ChesterAeld meeting
w.11 be under the direction of the following
committee: C. H. Rivers, J. C.
Rivers, P. M. Therrell, J. D. Smith
and A. W. Hursey.

Cheraw, Tuesday night.
* On Wednesday, Nov. 17, two meetings
will be held, one at Pageland at
3 p.m., and the other at McBee at
night. Hon. W. F. Stevenson will
speak at both these meetings.
Tl.e committee in charge at Pageland
is composed of L. L. Parker, J.
(V. Arant, T. D. Watts and T. D. FunJerburk
McBee's committee is as follows:
W. L. McCoy, F. E. Kerr, K. C. Johnson,
R. B. King and W. M. Grant.
Cheraw committee: E. W. Duvall,
L. A. Kerr, R. B. Laney, R. J. Little
and J. W Malloy
Each of these committees will appoint
canvassing committees and
these will spend the balance of the
week in personal visits to the farmers
and business men in an effort to induce
every man in the county to subscribe
at least one bale of cotton to
the capital stock.
Chesterfield county has already
subscribed $41,000, but it is necessary
that several times that much be
raised in this county.
The officers are most anxious to
impress on all who take stock that
they are not contributing or giving
anything. They are investing in a legitimate
business, which will not only
pay dividends on the money invested,
but will put the exporting of cotton
into the hands of the people who raise
it. Any grade of cotton will be accepted
at the market price in payment
for stock, low grade preferred.

BIGGEST AND BEST
FAIR OUT DOES ALL PREVIOUS
EFFORTS i
Finest Display Of Exhibits And Most
Amusement Features Ever Seen
On Ground
The Fair is on.
When Aviator Merrill flew into J
Chesterfield last Saturday the county
became alive to the fact that fair
time had come and. those who had not
arranged to spend several days at
the Eighth Annual Exhibition got
busy with those arrangements.
And it was right and proper that a
several days visit be arranged for as
i no one could possibly take in the entire
fair in one visit.
It is like a State Fair in the magnitude
of its various forms of entertainment,
and in the profuseness of our
own Chesterfield County Fair exhibI
its. It was thought that last year the
Fair Association had reached the limit
in giving the county a big fair, but
this year's exhibition proves that they
have excelled themselves in the successful
endeavor to out do all former
efforts.
From the time the first free performance
ste.rts in the morning until
the gates are locked for the night
there is something doing in the entertainment
line. The Great Krause
Shows do net belie their name; they
arc great and furnish enough amusement
to entertain crowds for months,
instead of a few days. The various

shows all seem to be clean and wholesome
and very well adapted to entertaining
cohnty fair crowds.
Possibly the greatest crowds
thronged about the rope separating
the aeroplane landing field from the
rest of the grounds. The landing spot
is beautifully level and the onlookers
have an excellent view of the machine
landing and taking flight. After doing
many wonderful feats, such as
looping the loop, tail spin etc., which
thrilled the spectators for half an
hour Aviator Merrill announced at 2
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
that he was ready to take up passengers.
He was almost overwhelmed by
the rush and scramble, but when the
dust cleared away it was seen that
Mr. Shaw Mcehan had won the distinction
of being first to go up. One
after another, as fast as flights and
landings could be made passengers
were taken up. The first lady of Chesterfield
to take flight was Mrs. Roy L.
Hurst.
The Farm Displays, while contested
by comparatively few farmers, are
the best by far that have ever been
seen in this county. Messrs. F. W. .
Rivers and T. W. Gaskinj, who won
about all the prizes, are to be con- 1
gratulated for their efforts to make '
this department such a success. These .
gentlemen have demonstrated that *
Chesterfield county can compete with
any part of the United States in
growing general farm produce. This (
is an especially valuable demonstration
at this time of low prived cotton
and boll weevil anticipation.
The school displays by the Pageland
High Srhool and Mt. Croghan
School are worthy of special atten- 1
tion. The Red Cross booth was made '
more than attractive by the bevy of
pretty students in nurse costume who 1
had charge of it. This booth is drawing
attention to a serious and most 1
commendable purpose and the exhi- 1
bit was a very happy thought.
The Girls' Canning Club display is 1
really wonderful. The row upon row :
of glass jars of fruits, vegetables and
preserves are delicious to look upon :
and the bewildered observer must be 1
convinced after a few minutes spent
i
/ \ i
in contemplation of this booth that
the Pennsylvania manufacturer who
speaks so boastfully of "57 varities"
could not compete with our canning
club girls until he has enlarged
his catalog. The Woman's Home
Demonstration Department had another
wonderful display. Perhaps
some of the ladies who know what all
these good things are and how to talk
about them will furnish a more complete
description for Advertiser readers
at a later date. A mere man re
porter find's it impossible to write
about things that he knows the taste
of, but not the proper things to say
about them.
The stock display, consisting mostly
of hogs, is another thing that is a
credit to Chesterfield county. If any
finer swine can be raised in any locality
than those exhibited at this
fair, they have not been on exhibition
at any of th state fairs in recent
years. Duroc-Jerseys predominated
in the exhibits.
A new building was given entirely
over to the poultry. A trip through
this poultry house is in itself a liberal
education to the chicken raiser. Pen
after pen of proud and glossy fowls
strut before the observer in a number
of varieties. Rhode Island Reds and
Barred Rorks outnumbered the others,
these being the favorie breeds of
this county.
Prizes and cups were won by
Messrs. D. W. Knight, Parnell Meehan,
Andy Teal, J. W. Hanna and
others. A complete list of prize-winners
of poultry will be published next
week.
While Tuesday's crowd was light,
as is nearly always the case when that
is the the opening day, a bumper
gathering was on hand Wednesday.
Almost before day light crowds be;an
coming from various parts of the
:uuniy ana Dy noon it was estimated
that over three thousand people had
bought tickets.
The weather being favorable the
promoters have no objections to offer.
The next two days should witness
the recently enlarged grounds
packed and thronged and ceitriinli
no one who attends can be disappoditid,
unless it be because they failcu to
attend all four days, that being die
only possible way in which every
thing can be seen and fully enjoyed.
However, if there be a person in the
:ounty who has not attended, he
ihould crank up the Ford, or harness
the mule, forthwith and get in one or
two days on the grounds, and he will
see more in that length of time than
sver before for one price of udmisiion.
The following is a complete list of
air passengers taken up on Wednesday
by Mr. Merrill rnd the order of
their flights:
Shaw Meehan, N. S. Kimball, Roy
Hurst,Mrs. Roy L. Hurst,Misses Sara
and Pearl Moore,C. F. AdcockCarey J.

CHICKEN JUDGE
DELIVERS LECTURE
On Tuesday night at the school auditorium
Mr. W. H. Card, of Manchester,
Conn., who judged the poultry
at the county fair, delivered a
lecture which was well attended and
most heartily enjoyed by the many
Chesterfield people who are interested
in blooded fowls. Besides being the
foremost judge of poultry in America
Mr. Card proved that he knew how to
talk on his subject, and, more besides,
he illustrated his words with
crayon drawings in colors. His versatility
was a source of wonder, but
proved none the less enjoyable. Refreshments'
were served by the ladies
and a general good time was had. It
is the intention of the poultry raisers
to have Mr. Card judge the exhibits
at next year's fair and at that time
another lecture will be given. Those
who were present Tuesday night
have already asked for invitations to
next year's talk.
MISS FALWELL'S CLASS
ON BOOSTER TRIP
The Chesterfield class of Miss Falwell,
this county's Red Cross Nurse,
'.ook a trip around the county last
Monday and the young1 ladies made a
very charming picture and attracted
much favorable attention. The class
was not only boosting the Red Cross,
but also the County Fair where they
are conducting an interesting demonstration
booth. The exhibit will undoubtedly
attract many young ladies
of the county who have not previously
hought of taking a course in hygiene.
Mill Falwell or any of her class will
gladly take the names of any who are
desirous of taking advantage of the
instruction offered free by joining
one of the classes.

Night riders visited the homes of
! many negroes in Dillon County last
! Saturday night and again on Sunday
night. The riders ordered the nc
groes to get busy in the cotton held*
and not to charge more than $1 a
hundred for picking short staple and
$1.25 and $1.50 for long staple. The
negroes became much excited and
some are leaving the county. The rcs1
pectable white people have held a
j mass meeting and condemned the acj
tion of the so-called riders. There
; has been good feeling between the
whites and colored people of Dillon
County and they both resent outside
interferences. The riders claimed to
be from North Carolina.
