I freedom through the brick wall when
Mr.. Grant entered that part of the
Jail. Anticipating the attempt to fol-
low him with dogs, the prisoner had
sprayed his feet with disinfectant and
was supplied with turpentine. His
precautions served him we'll, as the
dogs were able to track him only short
distances when they would begin to
cough and lose the trail.
At several intervals when reports
reached town that he had been seen
in certain sections, large numbers Of
men rushed to the scene, and there
is no doubt but they were on hot
trail several times.
He finally cluded their guard, how
ever and reached Cheraw, where he
evidently intended to swing a freight
train.
Being very hungry, he called at a
house occupied by one of his color
and sought refreshments. This man,
law-abiding darkie, told Benbo

food. He informed the first man he
met, Mr.. Daniel A. Boan, who called

BUY A LIBERTY LOAN BOND

"Does the Liberty Loan mean any
thing to me?"
This question may well be asked
at this time by every reader of this
paper, and it is the purpose of this
article to show as clearly as possible
just how every individual in this
county is interested in this gigantic
sale of government bonds.
This nation is at war! 1t is prob
able that the full import of that state
ment has not dawned upon the minds
of one per cent. of our people. Dem
ocracy throughout the world is fight
ing the most desperate and cruel ty-
rant the world has yet produced. If
we do not fight this monster on for
eign soil, we will be compelled to
fight him on our own soil
In order that an efficient army may
be raised and drilled for this purpose.
the government has set q date, Tues
LAY, June 5th, when every man be-
tween the ages of 21 and 81 is or
dered to present himself for military
service.
Now here is where the Liberty
Loan and you come in, Mr.. Reader.
These men are to be equipped with
all the best fighting and defensive ma
terlal that science can devise. They
are to be abundantly supplied with
ammunition, food and clothing. To
so equip this vast army will call for
such sums of money as stagger the
imagination. Had you stopped to
The Chesterfield advertiser. [volume] (Chesterfield C.H., S.C.) 1884-1978, 1917-05-31

at the critical moment, on my ac-
count.
That should be the attitude Of ev-
cry man, woman and child in this
county.
You can help finance this war and
! YOUR help is needed. You are not
asked to contribute, but to make a
perfectly safe investment.
A week, beginning Saturday, June
I'd, is set apart as Liberty Loan
subscribe for your share in this great
fight.
Tuesday, when your boy, or your
neighbours boy presents himself for
service, is an appropriate time for
you to buy bond that will equip him
Cor that service.
1t has been estimated that the pur-
chase of every 500 Liberty Loan
Bond provide funds practically suf-
ficient for the equipment of a man
in the army. Therefore, the man who
is too old to fght or who cannot be
spared, or the woman who is unable
to fight because she is woman, but
who is possessed of an income or
means sufficient to finance the pur-
chase of Liberty Loan Bonds, has an
opportunity in this way to do a part
of his or her bit.
A local committee to handle these
bonds is soon to be organized with
Senator &. X. Lancy at its head. For
information as to how to go about
purchasing u bond, see either Senator
Lancy or any one Of the banks.

THE MISSION OF ONE NEWS

Some guileless people have from
time to time wondered why the Day,

city since it is a matter of common
information that ii Is a losing propo-
sition from financial standpoint and

mission of the Press- Times, they
should be fully enlightened by the is
sues Of the past week in which have
been published reports purporting to
give the correct proceedings of the
Gardener Day trial at Occur d'Alene.
So eager were the owners of the Day

should not have their minds warped
by a biased version of this celebrates
case, such as might BID expected in
newspapers free from their uplifting
influence, they We're unwilling evil

reports of the trial with which the
public has been favored were there

than the editor and general manager

pressively proclaimed in bold type at
the head Of each daily contribution.

that those who were still In guam

Typographical JournaD


The International Typographical
union was one of the first TRADE
unions to subscribe for the first issue
of Liberty bonds. In the allotment of
these bonds the unions subscription
was cut from $4,000 to $4,000. Sub
ordinate local typographical unions
reporting to headquarters subscribed
to the amount of s54,S50. while the
subscriptions of individual members
and the purchases made through chap
ell organizations amounted to $1,130,-
300, bringing the total subscriptions
made by members of the International
Typographical union up to s1.215,00O.
In order that the organization may
obtain bonds to the full extent of its
subscription on the second Liberty
loan the executive council of the In

This subscription of nearly a million

There are untold millions of unde-

to waste.
sPlnchot now charges that the power
companies and those who have devel-
oped the hydro electric waternower
plants have prevented this waste from
being utilized by demanding unreason-
able legislation.
He comes forward with radical con-
cessions and demands waternower
legislation when congress meets in De-
cember based on principles of fair TO
both Sides which he then proceeds
to state
First he says the thing to do above
all else is to secure DEVELOPMENT of

In the overshadowed days when Ger.

IDAHO OFFICIALS SHOULD "a.
voR IDAHO NEWSPAPERS.

II 1t is true, as charged by the
Occur d'Alene Press, that DIR. E. A.
Bryan, commissioner OF education of
Idaho and chairman of the state coun-
Gil Of national defense, refused to give
the Occur d'Alene paper the names of
the men he had decided to appoint to
represent the council in the several
counties and that he forthwith went
| to Spokane and gave the names to the
| Spokane papers for publication, then
the severe criticisms directed at DR..
Bryan for his discrimination in favor
of Spokane papers are fully justified
and will be approved by the press of
the state. But DR.. Bryan is not the
only man on the payroll of the state
of Idaho who seems to be afflicted
with Spokanitis. They are very pro-
fuse in their praise of the press of the
state when seeking votes from the
people, or when they desire to make
showing of public sentiment In their
favor when aspiring to important po-
sitions by appointment. Under those
circumstances publicity in the press of
Idaho is eagerly sought. But having
achieved their ambition, 1t is not un-
common for them to kick down the
ladder which elevated them to success.
Official position seems to have given
them an enlarged idea of their own
Importance and to corresponding
extent lowered their estimate of the
Importance Of those elements which
they had so recently regarded as es-
sential to their ambitious careers. The
press of Idaho no longer affords a me-
dunn of publicity commensurate with
the Importance Of their utterances.
and Is therefore ignored in their wider
views of publicity, or more properly.
their desire to pose before the public.
It is therefore joy to them to be
quoted in the Spokane papers on sub
)ects that solely concern their official
acts In Idaho and in the publication of
which Idaho papers should receive the
preference.
