Clinton Gardner
Killed By Lightning

During a storm that passec
over this section Tuesday morn
ing, the lightning struck anC
killed Clinton Gardner, the Is
year-old son of Mr.. John Gard
ner, near Friendship church.
Young Mr.. Gardner was en-
gagged in hauling some oats tc
the barn and was assisted by a
negro hand. At about $3.50,
while both were in the wagon,
which was drawn by two mules.
a thunder storm arose. They
had presumably started to the
house in the empty wagon, the
negro driving and sitting on IT, e
right side Of the wagon, and the
young man sitting in the back
OF the wagon on the left when n
bolt of lightning struck h e
wagon, killing Mr.. Gardner and
also the mule on the left side.
The negro was stunned and the
mule on the right was knocked
down but was apparently unin-
jured.
The funeral occurred at Morven,
N. g., on Wednesday. The SER
vices were conducted by the
Rev. j. Tyler.
Rev. Paul 7. Wood, the pastor
was engaged at the time IN con-
Quoting a series of meetings at
Pleasant Grove and could not be
notified.
This tragedy has made a pro.
fund impression on the commun-
ity. The family Of Mr.. Gard
ner is held in the highest esteem
and Clinton was loved by all
who knew him.

Creamery Routes For
Chesterfield County

Cheraw.-The Committee ap
pointed at the mass meeting of
farmers recently to canvass the
surrounding country for the
lumber Of cows availa BILE with
a view to the esta blishment of a
creamery in Cheraw, met in the
town hall last Saturdaymorning.
Besides the committee, w j.
Tiller, demonstration agent for
Chesterfield county, 5. G. Evans,
Demonstration agent for Marl-
bOro county, and 7. S Evans.
Seaboard Air Line railroad agri-
cultural agent attended, and
gave useful suggestions.
The committee reports finding
249 cows that could now be de-
pended upon for cream, with the
promise of several hundred more
by purchase after the crops are
laid by. Upon this showing a
special committee, consisting of
W. j. Tiller, John Hickson and
G. L. A. McManus, was appoint
ed to visit the Darlington cream
cry and arrange with them for
| the esta blishment Of cream
routes around Cheraw, the
cream to be shipped to Darling
ton for the present. This COM
mittee will go early this week
and report to the full committee
next Saturday.
Steps were also taken looking
TO the purchase of large num-
ber of cream cows by the farm
ers, or by stock company form
ed tor chat purp Nse, so as to
greatly increase the supply of
cream. l.. j. Anderson fathered
the idea of forming such a com
paEy. The First National Bank
is willing to advance the money
to purchase cows, upon notes in
dorsed by responsible citizens,
mortgage and insurance policy
as security, first nayment of
about one-fourth the value of
each having been made, the bal.
ance to be paid in small month
ly installments.
A mass meeting of Chester
field and Marlboro farmers, live
stock men, bankers and others
interested III the commercial de-
velopment of this section of the
State, will be held on a date
that Will suit w. W. Long, and
Mr.. Fitzpatrick of Clemson, Mr..
Napier, the demonstration agent
for Darlington county and other
experts who will be expected to
give expert information on both
the business and the dairy end
of the dairy proposition. This
committee will then also report
its findings and suggest the best
lplan to pursue in the future.

Vital Statistics
Must Be Reported

MIR. L. K. Mulloy, registrar of
vital statistics, is in receipt Of a
strong protest from James "A.
Hayne, M. d., Secretary of State
Board of Health.
DIR. Hayne says that the law is
not being observed in this mat

following words that unless a
change is made, there is trouble
ahead for somebody.
Heretofore, | have dealt lem
iently with delinquents, but |

the mild means | have employed

publish widely in your territory
that any undertaken or person
acting as such, who does not
comply with the law or any doc
tor or midwife who fails to re-
port birth attended by them,
Will be prosecuted. When you

positive of your facts and be pre-
pared to prove your case in court.
| want conviction, Tor any case

ance."

MIR. Matheson Declines
Cheraw, Nav Goth. 1915

Cheraw, May goth, 1916.
Editor The Advertiser:
Will you kindly permit me,
through your paper, to thank
all those who have manifested
such friendly interest in presen-
ting my name to the voters of
Chesterfield County as a candi-
date for the House of Represent
atlve. appreciate more than
L can express all that has been
said both in public and in pri-
vate, about my fitness for the
place; and l appreciate also the
way in which the suggestion of
my name has been received
throughout the county. 1 am
very conscious. however, of the
fact that in this they are exer-
olsing a high degree of forbear-
ance and generosity; but never
theless it is very gratifying.
The call, entirely unsolicited
on my part, has appealed to me
more strongly than anything of
a like kind has ever done.
l am conscious, too, of the
force of your argument that |
owe debt of gratitude to nv
county that should be paid in
service for her. And frankly.
few things would give me more
real pleasure and qualification
than to have the honor of SER
wing my county, and through
IT, my state in this capicy and at
this time. 1t is a transition
period, when many questions of
Importance are coming up for
solution by our Legislature,
questions that have peen parti-
ally dealt with and need COM
pletlng, and others entirely new.
1t would be a privilege to be al
lowed to take part in their prop
er solution.
1t is with real regret, there
lore, that | feel it to be my duty
to decline to make the race for
this office. If it were a matter
simply of some sacrifice Of a per-
sonal nature, l would willingly
make it. But obligations which
l have assumed for, and with
others, and which will require
the whole of my time and
strength and best efforts for the
present, force me to this decls-
ION. | have delayed for a week
my answer in the hope that the
way might be open for me to
make the race; but now find
that L shall have to ask NV
friends to withdraw my name,
thank one and all, including
The Advertiser, for all that has
been said and done in my behalf.
Very respectfully.
Donald S. Matheson.

Ladies did you know that q
block of Ice from the ice cham
bers in the factory weighs only
300 to 30 pounds. When it gets
here 2oO lbs is good weight. We
heard driver of former deliv-

got from 32O to $50 pounds Of ice

Whatever do&bts had fingered in the
minds OF the public Us 20 the veracity
and the strength of the defense built
up by LangGon had been shattered at
one blow. For Mary, as everyone said,
might indeed hAvc been actress enough
to feign madness at the sight Of the
drunken policeman. but she could not
have feigned that great bruise on her
shoulder. The shadow of the gripping
hand with those ivid scars beneath it
told mutely of how the cruel fingers
had torn into the tender flesh.
The newspaper bearing DR.. Fosters
article on "Repressed Psychosis" which
the District Attorney had so sarcasti-
cally introduced as evidence had been
pored over by every juryman, and
from coast to coast the dramatic story
