In commencing the Cheraw Boosters
Club. We gave every commercial or.

portunity for publicity In our recent
Industrial Edition. and the Cheraw
Club, which has the smallest mem.

copies Of the paper. and they were
very much pleased with the service
rendered. The Swink boosters almosl

matter was referred to the city coun.

stuff was all off. The city council OF
Swink is decidedly wet, and they un-
animously decided that they could not
conscientiously patronize a dry
newspaper. That was a good reason

even buy single copy of the news

rah for Cheraw! May 1t bloom and
blossom and live always.
