A large number of members, ladies and meoi 1 Dr. Trotti made a good. serious ta'k. He pled for harmony and leas division; for more united elTort in pulHng for Chesterfield. "Kicking teams," he said, do not pull; and pulling teams do not kick. Let's quit kicking and go to pulling." "It always reemcd *trangq to me,' 'he said, "v.'hy people will remain in a town that doesn't suit them. The world is wide and t.\ere are thousands of towns and communities besides Chesterfield. T he kicker and the grumbler makes himself disliked. On the contrary the optimist who always feels line or at ieast says he does, and who believes in and loves his town is loved in turn by his neighbors, who ire glad to meet him. Chesterfield is a gn^d town; Chesterfield is making some progress; boost, push, null for Chesterfield, was the burden of the talk. Mr. Townley lied fen rn was to speak on the subject; "I'll soon be In trouble." W. D. Craig?"CI cstc-field's Fast." Mr. Craig made an interesting talk on the setth nvmt and naming of Chesterfield, town and county.

He spoke of two revolutionary soldiers atnong the early settlers of this section. They were Fed Rivtrs and Tom Davis of whom the present Rivers and Davis families are descendants. The U. S. Government erected a monument at the grave of Tom Davis for distinguished service during the Revolutionary War. Mr. Craig gave a very interesting account of the police system in vogue in Chesierlield county prior to the Civil War. Every man from 18 to 45 years of age was a member of the system known as thc militia and this organization was so complete tliat it was possible to mobilize thc entire force in Chesterfield in twelve hours. Rev. K. M. Cannon, described as the handsomest man ir. town, spoke to "Chesterfield's Present." Mr. Cannon made a fine talk, the theme of which was "Chesterfield is Moving." He told a number of good anecdotes and drove home the thought that Chesterfield is getting somewhere. Rev. L. E. Peeler made an unusually pleasing talk on "Why I Like Chesterfield." He likened this place to heaven, by saying it is hard to get to but when you get bore you never were present. A dainty, appetite?tempting and altogether satisfying repast had oeen prepared und was beautifully served by thy social committees, of which Mrs. F. B. Sanders is chair nan. A jolly, optimistic spirit pefvaded .t'.e cs3emblege, and when the last s eech had been made, the last toast 0 .'eied and the last joke cracked and the last song sung, all vent away feeling "it was good to be here." C. L. Hunley, Esq., acted a? toastti aster. When the guests had been seated at ti e beautifully decorated tables, the 1 v. L. E. Peeler said grace and the v rk of destruction began.

Mr. Douglass sidestepped by not putting in his apparance. Sheii.'T J. T. Grant?"Wanted: Help, to turn loose a wild coon." Mr. Grant had been called to Ohnrleston. Supt. I*\ II.

A DILLON COUNTY KOAD STORY| "Well, what is the news?" asked Mr. H. H. Hasty, as he greeted a Her- 1 aid man Tuesday. When The Herald man told him that news had been scarce for the past several weeks and newspaper men were hard put to get out a readable paper at this sason of th year when everybody was at work, Mr. J. Karle Belhea, who was I standing near said, "Well, I don't j know whether you would call it news but I saw a very peculiar accident a ' few days ago. I was out on the Dil- j lon-Latta road whore th^ contractors a*re working and as you know it ib very rough. Along came a man and woman driving a mule to an old side- 1 spring buggy. The buggy was bounc- ' ing up and down like a small I on a choppy sea when all at once one j of the spring broke. In the twinkling of a eye the buggy body turned j upside down and before the occu-1 pants of the buggy were awaie of what was happening the mule was' tearing down tho road like a small ' cyclone, with the vehicle yattling and bouncing over the rough! highway. I looked back to see what 3?ad become of the man and woman bi t they were nowher in sight. They seemed to have disappeared as com; letoly as if the earth had opened am I swallowed them up.

McBEE PEACH GROWERS ENTHUSIASTIC The peach growers around McBee, in the section now coming to be I known as the Carolina Fruit Hills, j are very enhtusiastic over the pros] poets for a good crop this year and over the prospects of permanent success with peaches in that section. The Extension Service horticulturists re-1 port that there an* now about 2 in j I acres of peach orchards in the Mci Hi'o community, 180 acres of which are new orchards set this year and tit) acres of old orchards now in full , bearing and with a fine crop or fruit set and developing, j Latest reports are that the last cold spell, which killed much fruit in various parts of the state, did little damage to the Me Hoc peach orchards; in fact, some of tht, trees I seem to have been benefitted by the | cold weather, which helped to thin | the to heavy crop. To further insure a fine quality of fruit many trees are being thinned following a thinning demonstratin by the Extension Service horticulturst. Some most encouraging advance prices have been offered the growers by the buyers, these prices tunning as high as $2.f>0 per crate f. o. b. Me Leo plus one-half of any amount re| reived over $2.f>0 after deduction of expenses. it now seems assured that not only at McBee but also throughout the 1 sand ridge section of the state commercial peach growing is to become a permanent and prosperous phase of j farming.-?Clemson College.

It j is the spark that causes the explosion. It is useless either to damn or ignore racial feeling; it exists and in great masses of the population. Noi is it eontined to the South. Chicago of thv July days of It'll) can testify to this Bast St. Louis counted the dead and reckoned the cost two years before. Omaha, far north of the Mason and Dixon line, saw and knows. Since these happenings the mouth pieces of opinion are a little less likely to assume a holier-than-thou attitude toward the South. There is h better understanding of what underlies tines*' sudden devilish outbreaks like that of I'ul.-a. The country generally know a I'.tlc more about tacial friction and the slow 'ires that are always burning somewhere un lerneath. Washington, Chicago, Omaha, East St. Louis and Elaine are black pages. To these Tulsa has been added. It is futile to folci soft, fat hands and ignore the fact that there is a racial problem in America. The Georgia peonage cases are recent. Thexe is the revived Ku Klux Klan in the Sou'h that may be taken as the Old South's reply to social equality leagues. There is a problem, and it grows and spreads as the negro population grows and spreads. Denunciation, abuse and threats will get nowhere. The problem wait - fot solution.
