IURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1922 $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE ( HOLD UP IN CHERAW - HONOP onu n..nv 1 Marshall Godfrey, colored, who conducts a store in Cheraw near the ice plant was held up his store by two gentlemen of color, whose intent was evidently robory. Godfrey sutieied a severe scalp wound and the loss of his pistol but not his money. Last Thursday night, about closing time Godfrey says he was counting his days receipts, when two. colored strangers walked in and requested some gingei-ale. The cases of bottled soda water were only a few feet away but the proprietor did not care to leave his money on the counter, bo he pointed to where the drinks were and asked the customers to serve themselves. They then changed their minds and decided on something within reach of the proprietor bent tinder the counter. Godfrey's pistol was lying near his hand as he leaned over to get the article, and when he i , raised up he was looking into the niuzile of his own weapon. He ducked and j as he did so a ball plowed a furrow across the top of his head. Nothing; daunted, he grappled with his asasilant who finally got lose and fled. His companion took to his heels ! when Godfrey first showed fight. j I Chief Jacobs says he was not noti-' fled immediately and by the time lie i ? was on the trail the visitors had gotten away. . 1 They are thought to be the same I pair who weie in Cheraw about a year ' ago, relieving their brethcren r* their coin as opportunity afforded.

Tiller, rural policeman, located at McBee, received his commission on the first of April and lost no time in demonstrating that he has the stuff that good policemen are made of. On last Wednesday, the fifth, when he had been on duty but5 days,he captured one of the largest stills ever taken in this county. The still was found between McBee and Angelus, nearer Angelus than McBee. It is a good copper one, of at least 100 gallon capacity. It was running when he arrived on the scene, but not running at fast as did the white man and neirro who were on erating it. Mr. Tiller 'lid not recognize the colored man but says he identified the white man as Dave Kirkley. Five gallons of whiskey were on hand and about 300 gallons of mash.

It has been estimated J that (>0,000 girls disappear annually in the United States, and if only a1 few of them are traced it is because only a few cities have a missing person bureau. In New York City from March, 1922, to March, 1922, more than 2,200 persons dropped out of sight. From 10 to 20 is the foolish age, officials say, and most of the missing persons come between those years. June is the popular month for running away, and the chief reason is trouble over school, with home friction as a close second. Around circus and world series times boys also vanish in dozens. Between 20 and 30 years of age the number of missing persons is noticeably less, and it decreases by decades until the fewst, even fewer than in the years between one and ten, are those persons betwen 90 and 100. Yet the bureau has been asked occasionally to find missing persons who were more than 90 years old. The man or youth is considerably fonder of diaapearing than TTaar.u- or t.Ll frUVsvatftor u Vtlffer as these women did-1 l.inf^r. C. L.

A New Jersey man carries off the f prize lor being the most forgetful v man in the world. He left his motor t car on a ferry boat and took a taxi to r his office.

South Carolina Cotton Growers' Co- .. nperative Association. Over 4,000 far- ^ niers who have already joined the as-tociation have pledged to take the lield this week and endeavor to have their brother farmers who have not w yet joined to enlist under the cooperative banner. It is hoped to sign over 100,000 bales this week. Letters from prominent bankers all over the state are strongly endorsing ^ the association and calling on all bankers and business men to assist in putting the campaign across were re- Q ceived by the association last week. PI "I am almost heartily in favor of I |j inn coupuruuvv miuKeiinK 01 coi'on for the reason that it helps all those living in the cotton belt," wrote C. G. Rowland, president of the National Bank of South Carolina at Sumter. "1 sincerely hope the campaign to organize the state may be a decided success. If the cotton producer has to buy from those who are organized and sell to those who are organized and he himself does not organize, who is the loser? What effects the farmer affects all of us." From J. S. Stark, president of the Planters' Bank of Abbeville, came the following: "The organization of the cotton growers cooperative association is the greatest movement for the benefit of the farmer ever undertaken in this state. It will do more to prevent him from holding cotton for a lower price than any plan that has ever been presented. Where it has been tried it is a success and I earnestly hope that the organization will soon be completed in this state. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. By all means let us have the proof." P. F. Clinkscales, president of the Bank of Anderson wrote: "I have gone fully into the plan of the cotton cooperative marketing association and most heartily approve of it. It appears to be a step in the right direction and in my opinion it will prove beneficial both to the grower and buyer of this cotton.

V truck load of very fine ice made in Chesterfield, was seen on the streets ^ his week. The plant, installed by Mr. w. d. a Craig at his power plant, is just get-. ing in trim and will soon be deliverng regularly about three and one ?alf tons of ice per day, enough to 1 norje than supply Chesterfield at the " >resent. This plant is regular standard type, ind is operated by power generated1 it Mr. Craig's power house. The wat>r that goes into the ice is piped by rravity from a fine never-failing pring. The water is pure and perfecty clear and a beautiful quality of ce is assured. For these reasons Chesterfield hould feel grateful, for with the adent of warm weather the minds of nost of our citizens revert to last ummer's uncertain ice supply at 1 ^4 ents per pound. This is not the first time Mr. Craig las been first in an important local nterprise. He was first to give Cheserfield electric lights some years ago.

The Deepwater vas one of the Russian relief steamrs which left here in January. Toward the end of February the )eepwater reached Odesa and was ict at the dock by thousands of hildren. Practically unclothed and howing unmistakable evidences of tarvation, they swarmed about, eady to beg for food as soon as unlading of the grain wa? begun, but nly to be driven away by Russian aldiers Capt, Hart said those who re- , sted were bayonetted.
