Williams, Assistant Boys' Club Agent Clem on College, March 22.?Di-' rector W. W. Long, in speaking be- i fore the county agents iti Spartan*' burg, made the following statement: | "Our work with the boys is the ( greatest hope which we have." This thought should be the basis of all our I efforts in dealing with Boys' Club' Work. What has the future in store ! for country boy? The city boy has i the Boy Scouts, the Y. M. C. A., the I baseball rluh. j?nH r?t v cnnK I rations which take into consideration the gang spirit. The country boy is isolated. He lacks educational opportunity. His work often partakes of the nature of drudprery. His hours before sunrise and close after sunset. As sees it, it is a real blesing to meet with his neighbor boys in agroup for pleasure and recreation. What can be done to assist the country boy in capitalizing his contact with Mother Nature, his experience in dealing with the soil and in handling livestock? Cannot there be something developed which will cause him to realize and appreciate the purpose of his.efforts as he toils from day to day? Men are not astonished by the fact that country boys leave the farm. Indeed, it is astonishing that so many remain on the farm, but it must be realized that numbers and numbers of choice country boys leave the farm. Can there not be supplied in the life of the country boy something which will give him these things? Certainly, and the hope of it all rests in Boys' Club Work or some such organization. IIow opportune is the field of work which puts a man in contact j with boys and furnishes him a means of leadership whereby he can assist in developing their minds to appreciate farm life, their bodies to enjoy recreation, entertainment and pleasure, and their hearts to realize satisfaction and contentment. The next generation of farmers will witness an organization which has for itc / *-?? ! !>u i j t-nv; NiuM.v mg "i mm great longing of the country boy, namely, '"How can 1 enjoy myself on the farm?" When boys who lovt. farm life grow into manhood, will they not make farmers who will co-operate with one another, who will profit by the spirit of organization, who will strive to beautify their home grounds, who will endeavor to build up a high standard of ideals in farm life, and will make life on the farm what it should be? Indeed, "our work with the boys is the greatest hojje which we 1 have." MONEY FOR ROADS Washington,!). C.,?Approximately 5(522,000,000 is available for road and bridge maintenance this year, the bureau of public roads of the department of agriculture announced re-' cently on the basis of information compiled from reports from the vari-' ous state highway departments. The approximate amounts given as availably to each of the states from local, state and federal sources Include: Alabama, $9,000,000; Florida, $7,725; Georgia, $10,000,000; North1 Carolina, $6,500,000; South Carolina, i $6,000,000; Tennessee, f 10,275,000; Virginia, $10,000,000. ""Hi 09 I iOSTS I oduction gt crop and y and dis- Efj I ? LOCAL ITEMS At the time of going to press there were no fires to report this week. The next lyceum attraction for Chesterfield is William Davidson Parry, lecturer and entertainer. Mr. Parry will speak at the school auditorium Monday night, March 28th I . I | Mrs. T. W. Gaskin will spend this and next week in Columbia. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Rivers spent several days this week in Charle?fon. Mrs. Mary H. Redfearn is visiting in Mt. Croghan. ! Mr. and Mrs. T. T. Lucas, of Charlotte, are the guests of Mrs. T. E. Lucas. Miss Eva Teal spent several days this week with her sister at Lander College. Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Laney, of Pageland, were visitors of Mrs. I. P. Mangum this week. Miss Doris Laney, of Columbia College, is at home for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Melton and Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Melton spent last week-end at Jefferson with relatives. Mr. J. A. Welsh figures that on the present basis of taxation the water-works and sewerage levy will be 16.61 mills. A tobacco chewer, an honest one, said that when women are asked by their husbands to vote against town improvements on account of taxes they oujrht to remembpr that many men spend more money for tobacco, to be chewed up and spit or. the sidewalks, than their extra taxation would amount to for the improvements. Things like this happen often in Chesterfield. Last Tuesday afternoon there were three traveling men in Chesterfield on business. Their business unfinished, they knew they would have to be here Wednesday morning.* I They spent the night in Cheraw. j Why? Because they wanted u bath. The Advertiser was crit'tized for, saying that the average taxpayer in ' Chesterfield would be assessed $12.00 for water-works and sewerage. Mr. C. L. Hunley considers his house about up to the average in town. He figured , at 20 mills his assessment would be : $12.00 per year. He further said his insurance premiums are now $10.00 | per year and with the establishment j of water-works he will immediately i cut his insurance in half thereby netting a clear saving of $8.00 per year. It is admitted - that the reduction on the remaining premiums will be 15 per cent. And then remember the county treasurer says the levy will not be 20 mills but 16.61. How can you figure that water-works will bankrupt Mr. Hunley? And he is about an average tax payer in town. FRIENDSHIP PRAYER MEETING It has been said that country prayer meeting could not be kept alive a year, to disprove any such statement as this I refer you to the prayer meeting at Friendship, which has been in existence for more than three years and today shows no sign of being sick or about to die. On the other hand it has taken on new life and today is the best attended prayer meeting in the community. We have set for our goal in regular ' attendance by July at one hundred and we are going to reach it by the help of the Lord. , On Wednesday night of last week these good people of Friendship surprised their pastor by giving him a severe pounding, which was much ap- < predated. 1 Now to our friends and others we invite you to attend this meeting and 1 after you have been with us for sev- ' eral services you will agree with me < that this is a prayer meeting that is 1 thoroughly alive so come and be with < us and we will do you good. I Services every Wednesday evening ( it 7:30 o'clock.

"I am onvinced that a drastic cut in acreige is necessary for our prosperity," je continued. "And this reduction nust not be a merc matter of proparanda, but an actual curtailment, and very large one, of the amount of otton produced during the year 1921. t will not suffice to talk about it, omething must be done. 1 know there r0 many who will not agree to this, ut it seems to me that we are face o face with the powerful law of suply and demand, and that law is op-1 rating. That's just our trouble; it is perating, and the supply of cotton is reatly in excell of the present doland. "The world's consumption of coton can be calculated with fair acuracy: Many such calculations, and nbiased ones, have been made. The nly cone to be reached is that lould the i .tmcrs of the South pile p another large cotton crop on top f the cotton now on hand, the result rould be another year of menerre rices for this, our "most important spricultural product. There is no rason to look for any sudden full reivnl of industry in Europe, hence the uropean dempnd can scarcely beome sufllciently great to offset the [feet of the tremendous supply of >tton now existing. "I know that many farmers are impelled to plant cotton. Some do r>t know much about diversification, nhappily, cotton is with us an ineritnnce, a tradition, a necessity and II that. But notwithstanding the anner in which this crop is interoven/ with our' lives, we can effect a >duction in acreage so impressive int buyers of cotton will forsec a rcirn to normalcy, and begin to offer ore attractive prices for the now he aggled King Cotton. "A merchant who has unusually rge supply of certain goods on hand, ul little demand for these goods, ould certainly not set about to pro re mora 01 me ware* that already utter his shelves.
