Waterworks For Chesterfield Assured
Council Sells Bonds Above Par

Waterworks for Chesterfield is an
assured fact. The petitions recently
circulated have revealed the fact that
sentiment among the voters is pre-
ponderantly in favor of the improve
ment. The last doubt has been re-
moved as to the ability of Chesterfield
to sell the bonds. The town council
yesterday closed the deal for $4,000
worth of bonds at price we'll above
par.
Such is the fame of Chesterfield
abroad that when j. H. Hilsman &
Co., of Atlanta, bond brokers, learn ed
that the CHEEKY and courteous town
was issuing bonds, they Immediately
sent their representative, Mr.. Tindell,
to the town on the ridge. They not
only offered par value for the bonds,
but were SO anxious to obtain some
real gilt edge security on the town
which is two degrees removed from a
good town, being of degree superla.
tive, The Best. The final offer, which
was accepted, was SIC, $4,000, net, in
The Chesterfield advertiser. [volume] (Chesterfield C.H., S.C.) 1884-1978, 1916-12-07

addition to accrued interest for
$16,000.00 worth of bonds.
To sum up, having a purchaser on
hand for bonds of the description to
be issued Hillsman & Company
made a very advantageous offer
to Mayor and Council for our town.
After going into the matter in detail
the officers accepted the offer where
by Hillsman & Co. pay all expenses
incident to the issue of bonds includ-
ing engraving of bonds, al legal fees
as to validity, etc. in addition to pay
ing 101 cents on the dollar and ac-
crued interest. The only reason that
the matter could be handled in this
way was that money is at present cas-
ier than at an ytime since 1907, and
no matter how much bonds may fuc-
tuate in the future, the town is pro-
tected at the contract price.
Mayor Odom has in his possession
certified check on First National
Bank of Atlanta, as a forf.&.
All that remains is for the election
to be held.

TORONTO

The first settlement on the site of Toronto was French trading post built there in 1749, and originally known as Fort Rouille, but which was faniliarly called Fort Toronto. The present city of Toronto was incor- porated eighty-two years ago today March 6, 1884, the town having prev iously been known as York In the days of the French regime Toronto meant the country of the Hurons In 1793 Gen. Simone, the lieutenant gov ernor of Upper Canada, decided to make the site the seat of the Upper Canadian government, and ordered Surveyor General Bouchette to survey trading post had disappeared and the site had reverted to the wilderness inhabited only by a few Mississaga Indians. The new town was named York in honor of the Duke of York the second son of George III, and became the capital of Upper Canada During the war of 1872 the town was twice sacked by. Americans, and the parliament buildings were burned. The town had practically to be rebuilt after the war. but in 1894, when it was incorporated and the name changed to Toronto, it had a popuIa- ton of nearly 10000. William Lyon Mackenzie, the editor who afterward figured in the rebellion against British rule, was the first mayor of Toronto and also the first mayor of any town in Upper Canada.

COUNT OKUMA

Count. Shigenobu Okun1a., the Prime Minister of Japan and the power be- hind the throne in the government of Nippon, has prove dhimse1f a firm friends of the Allies in the present war. While the Japanese have done nothing spectacular since the capture of Kiao-Chou, they share in the hon. ors of Russia's victories against the Turks, won largely with the munitions which have been pouring into the CZar's empire from Japan since the beginning of the war. Count Okuma recently declared that Germany had sounded Japan on the subject of a separate peace, which proves that the Teutons recognize the fact that a1- though Japan is a ttsilent partner of the Allies, she is none the less power full. The statesman who is largely re- sponsib1e for Japan's participation in the world conflict is seventy-eight years old, having bene born at Saga, Hizen, in 1888. He was one of the founders of the new Japan, and has been prominent in the modern regime for nearly half a century, becoming foreign minister in 1888 after a long service as finance minister, extending from 1869 to 1881. He has been the Prime Minister since 1898. Count Okuma is honored as the father of the Progressive party, of which he was long the leader. He was also a pioneer in the work of giving higher educa- ton to Japanese youths, and the great Waseda. University in ToIio and the Japanese Women's University both re- cognize him founder. Not long ago the aged statesman gave public ex- pression to his determination to live to the age of 125, and, judging from his present mental and physical viril- ity, it seems quite possible that he may realize this ambition.

Truxton Beale, 60 Today,
 Is Still a "Fire- cater

Truxton Beale, a former diplomat who recently attracted attention to himself by engaging in fstic combat with George VOn L. Meyer, eX-secre- tary of the navy, in fashionable Washington thorOughfare, was born three-score years ago today in San Francisco. MT. Beale has long been known as a ''fire-eater,'' and his affair with MT. Meyer, which was called a draw by competent observes, was not the first of it's kind. MT. Bea1e grad uated from the Pennsylvania Military College in Chester and afterward took his ILL. B. degree at Columbia Univer- sity. His first wife was Harriet, the daughter of James C.. Blaine, and in 1903 he married Miss Oge, a grand niece of Chife Justice Chase. He was admitted to the bar in 1878, but for 13 years thereafter was the manager of his fathers great ranch in Kern cOun- ty, California. In 1891 he began his diplomatic career as United States
 minister to Persia. The following year he was transferred from Teheran to the Balkans, serving as minister to Greece, Rounania and Serbia. He re- tired from the diplomatic service in 1894, and after two years spent in travelling through central Asia, Siberia and Turkestan he returned to Amer ica- In 1902, while living in Ca1ifor- mia, the ire of MT. Beale was aroused by article in the San Francisco Newsletter which he took to be a re- fection upon Miss Marie Oge, who be- came Mrs. Beale the following year. Accompanied by a friend, Thomas H. Williams, the ex-diplomat called at the home of Frederick Marrott, editor of the Newsletter, who met him at the door. He was struck by one of his callers, according to h1s testimony, and then started to run upstairs Four shots were fired at him and three of 91oA back, while the fourth lodged in his thigh. Although Beale and Williams were arrested, they were released on bail, and at the subsequent trial both were acquitted. MT. BeaIe again fig ured in a, sensational case through the fact that he was @ member of the Thaw party at Madison Square Roof Garden in New York on the night that harry Thaw murdered Stanford White

THINKS ALL CHURCHES
 SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN
 CONFERENCES FOR PEACE

Rome, March 6-Monsignor Ben igni. who was under-secretary of state in the Vatican administration during part of the pontifica1 of Pope Plus x, has written an article for the Nuovo Antologia Review on the question of the participation of the Holy See in the peace conference which is expect ed to be held at the conclusion of the war. Replying to one of the objec- tions raised by the Italian press against the intervention of Papal dele gates, namely, that the heads of all other churches would claim a, similar right of representation, Monsignor Benigni says that all heads of relig- ions should and a great majority of them will inevitably be represented at the prospective conference as not the Archbishop of Canterbury but the King of England is the head of the es- tablished church of that country
