C., Tuesday, July 25th, which will be conducted this year on a large Bcale with a program to interest every peach grower jn the sandhills of the two Carolinas and exhibits of the best grades of peaches grown in this section. In addition there will be exhibits of orchard machinery, implements and supplies and lectures and demonstration on the conservation of byproducts. It is the purpose of the Peach Show to assist the grower in every way possible td secure the latest information on handling his crops and to maintain the same high grade of orchards which have been started in the Sandhills. To this end arrangements have been made to have exhibited machinery, implements and materials which are used in modern orchard development; also the possibilities of preserving the products which are ordinarily allowed to go to waste because of inability to market all the orchard Droduces In addition to having the cooperation of the Department of Agriculture of the United States and of the two Carolina8, the Seaboard Air Line Railway, Clemson College and the Hamlet Chamber of Commerce will this year have Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, State Home Demonstration Agent talk oh conservation of byproducts and with a corps of assistants will give actual demonstrations of canning and preserving. This should be of interest to L ... evety grower and housewife in the section. Because of the fact that there is no place under roof large enough to accommodate the attendance expected it has been decided to have the show in a large tent whicb will be located at the corner of Mail and Raleigh streets. With this arrangement it will be possible to accommodate a much larger crowd than was possible last year and will permit of the exhibits of machinery, tractors, etc., on a lot adjacent lu the tent. Arrangements will be ma^ for actual demonstrations of auwviii?IVI/? The Peach Show being established as an annual event it has been decided to award premims for the best fruit of each variety exhibited. One can readily realize the value to the orchardist who markets his peaches under the label bearing the statement that he was awarded the first premium at the Carolines Sandhills Peach Show. It is purposed to endeavor in his manner to raise the standard of peaches to an even higher grade. Competent peach men will be judges. For the convenience of those who come by train, who might care to visit orchards while pick, packing and shipping operations are under way it has been aranged to conduct a tout the day following the Peach Show, July 26th. Any one wishing to make the trip should notify S. W. Clark, Chairman Entertainment Committee.

The Women's Opportunity Ihestc Reporter A man who dodges jury duty has 10 right to kick about the miscar justice, ami ine same is true >f the woman who fails to enroll and ote. The women of South Carolina vhatever may have been their views >n the suffrage question and however eluctanily they may take hold of the >allot that is thrust into their hands? egardless of all of this, they have a rreat opportunity to put the right lind of officeholders into office. The voman who fails to enroll and vote is roing to prove a great disappointment n matters political. W. F. Stevenson Candidate in the Democratic prima"I hereby announce that I am a ies of South Carolina, for the nomilation for Representative of the 5th Congressional District, for the 68th Congress and I take this opportunity o thank the people of the District !or their loyal support in the pact and o say that I shall endeavor to deserve -1 X CiAlV AIM AJJVAWUK IE PRIMARY I SG IMMEDIATELY I II A i the provisions of this section as to ] residence, if otherwise qualified." _| Women are ineligible to jury duty and even if they were liable, enrolling in a Democratic club would not in any 1 , way affect that matter. i Every white woman in Chesterfield County should place her name on her , local club roll by July 25th. Even though she does not intend to vote ' | they should place their names on the 1 : club roll. By enrolling one does not I j pledge himself to vote, but merely i . making himself eligible to vote in I case he should desire to do so Augj ust 2Uth, the day of the Primary. However, if they fail to enroll by July '. 2.rith then the door is closed and they cannot under any circumstances vote in the primary in August. This applies ,. to men and women, j Some one has said that the women | out in the rural sections will not enj roll their names. If they do not they j will be depriving themselves of privii' leges that their town sisters are ex? ? ercising. The law is the law, whether | one is in favor of it or not, and this | law is that all women can vote the I same as men. If you do not like the : result when the election is over and | failed to enroll by July 25th .you will have yourself to blame. Enroll, EN, ROLL NOW. PROCLAMATION ON STRIKE QUESTION Wahsington, July 11,?President Harding in a proclamation issued at the White House late tonight directed "all persons to refrain from all interference with the lawful efforts to maintain interstate transportation and the carrying of the United States mails." In the proclamation which was issued after a day in which continued reports had reached the postoffice department of interference by railroad strikers with mail trains, the president invited the cooperation of all public authorities, state and municipal, and the "ai<J of all good citizens" to uphold the laws and to "facilitate those operations in safety which are essential to life and liberty and the security of property and our common public welfare." The peaceful settlement of controversies between shop craft employees and carriers, it was stated, "in accordance with law and due respect for tn netoKlieUo/J ** - 1 * w*. ^iouuoiicu ior sucn seitlement are essential to the security and well being of our people." The president took the position that men willing to maintain the operation of railroad trains in order to transport mail have the "same indisputable right to work that others have to decline to work." President Harding was occupied throughout the evening with the prep aration of the proclamation, delaying his dinner one hour in order to go over the first transcript. He returned to the executive offices after dinner and remained there until the proclamation was made public about 10:40 p. m.
