RED CROSS SOCIETY
ORGANIZED IN CHERAw

Cheraw, June 1S.-At a mass meet
ing held yesterday afternoon in the
Cheraw town hall and attended nv
citizens from Cheraw and surround
ing country, the first steps were taken
towards organizing the Red Cross So
ciety IN Chesterfield county. Much
enthusiasm was displayed. On the
stage were Rev. A. H. Nc Arm, Rev
w. r. Hunt, j. M. Long, president of
the Board of Trade; Mayor j. A
Spruill and R. T. Castor of the Board
OF Trades Red Cross committee. and
the combined choirs Of Cheraw.
The first call for Red Cross or.-an-
lzation was made by the Board Of
Trade at its regular meeting lew
weeks ago, whca a committee was an
pointed to take the matter in hand
After prayer by Re-. Mr. in.rt, Mr.
McArn, in very touchir,s and clncucnt
words, described the general work of
the Red Cross society, and the spc-
cial work it is now doing on the bat
tlefields of Europe and Asia, as well
as IN caring for the refugees in all
countries, and appealed to the audi
ence to enlist their services in Red
Cross work on the ground that our
own boys were now going on the
battlefield to suffer all the horrors of
war, and needed our care and the
pest care that we can give them.
Blanks were passed around and in q
tew minutes S8 subscriptions and sig.
natures to petition for the establish.
ment of a Red Cross chapter wera
secured A large number of sigma
lures nave been secured since, and
ehorts will be made to organize chan
ters IN Chesterfield and other towns
In the county, so that in a little while
the organization will be well repre-
sented in this section of the State.

Big Drive For Red Cross Funds
Started. Everybody Should Give
PROCLAMATION

Inasmuch as our thoughts as ma
tion are now turned in united pur-
pose towards the performance to the
utmost of the services and duties
which we have assumed in the cause
Of justice and lierty;
Inasmuch as but a small proper
tion of our people can have the op-
portunity to serve upon the actual
field of battle, but all men, women
and children alike may serve and
serve effectively by making it possible
to care properly for those who do
serve under arms at home and
abroad;
And inasmuch as the American Red
Cross is the official recognized agency
for voluntary effort in behalf of the
armed forces of the nation and for
the administration Of relief;
Now, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as President of the United
States and President of the American
Red Cross, l, Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim the week ending
June 25, 1917, as Red Cross Week,
during which the people of the United
States will be called upon to give gen.
erously and in a spirit of patriotic
sacrifice for the support and main
tenance of this work of national need.

No Pass-Out Tickets
By a unanimous vote of the Board
of Directors it was decided that the
heretofore evil custom of giving out
pass out" tickets be discontinued
This is not done at any other Fair and
has been responsible for great abuses
here, not to mention loss in revenue
that is badly needed to pay the ex-
penses of the County Fair.
The admission price of the Chester
field County Fair is only twenty-five
cents; fifteen cents for children un-
der twelve years of age. Season
tickets that will admit one to the
Fair grounds any time during the
Fair, not transferable, will be sold
for one dollar; fifty cents for chill
dren under twelve. All necessary
convenicnces will be provided on the
Fair grounds and no passing in and
out, except by buying a new ticket,
will be allowed, unless one purchases
a season ticket.
The Premium List closes with a
short historical sketch of the County
Fair from its inception to this date.
The publication of the Premium
List has been made possible without
expense to the Fair Association by
the kindness Of the advertisers there
in. Attention is called to those ad-

The first meeting of the South
Carolina Red Cross war council was
held Friday night in the supreme
court room, Gov. Richard I. Manning,
chairman, presided. Nearly every
county in the State was represented
The council was in session from s
o'clock until near midnight, and there
was not a dull moment during the
meeting. 1t was thoroughly business
like and not lacking in enthusiasm.
The main question for consideration
was the $1O0,O00,OOO campaign for
the Red Cross which will be conduct
ed all over the United States the week
of June 49, 25. 1t was unanimously
decided on motion that South Caro-
lima should raise "at least" the $780,
900 apportioned to this State as its
share.
Purpose OF Campaign.
Gov. Manning called attention to
the purpose for which the money
was needed. He said in part: IL de-
sire to impress upon the minds of the
people of South Carolina the fact that
this is not a campaign for members
of the Red Cross or any other or
ganization. 1t is an indefinitely big
ger proposition. President Wilson,
feeling that the Red Cross is an ex-
tremely important part of the often
sive and depensive strength of the
United States in this war, has issued
proclamation calling upon the peo-
pie Of the United States as a whole,
and without regard as to whether or
not they are connected with the Red
Cross, to contribute S1O0,00O,O00
which is Immediately needed as much
as, and possibly more than, men and
munitions. l feel confident that all
South Carolinians will recognize in
this call a moving appeal both to
their highest patriotism and their love
for humanity. This being true,
/ have no hesitancy in asking every
man and woman in South Carolina to
cooperate with the leaders in the
several counties with a view to Sc
curing in each county between June
18 and 25 the amount Of money ex-
pected from each county.
This money is needed for three
purposes and strictly in the order
named. First, it must be remembered
that Gen. Wood says that the Red
Cross is equal to 25 per cent. of the
offensive and defensive strength of
the United States. In this the highest

A BIGGER AND BETTER COUNTY
FAIR; MANY PREMIUMS OFFERED

"The war is not interrupting the
progress of Chesterfield county. The
first premium list of county fair
for 1917 has been published by the
Chesterfield association. 1t is a
neatly printed pamphlet of az pages
and if one may judge from it's con-
tents it forecasts county fair of un-
usual merit. Agencies have been at
work in Chesterfield during the last
three or four years that are bringing
the county to the forefront in the
State and they set an excellent ex-
ample refusing to permit the ex-
citement of the times to interfere
with their public spirited exertions."
The above editorial paragraph from
The State speaks for itself. The
Chesterfield County Fair is a perma-
nent institution and the fifth annual
exhibition will be held November 7.
3, 3, 10, 1917 despite the war. 1t
Will be remembered that the county
Fair was held during the fall of 1914
when there were panicky conditions
everywhere-and the Fair was a sue
cess that year. With 25 cent cotton
the success of the of 1917 County
Fair is already assured. The promot-
ers are behind the movement and in
tend to push it to a successful con-
clusion.
The County Fair premium list has
been issued from the press of The
Chesterfield Advertiser and already
a couple thousand copies have been
mailed to those who are interested.
The fair management made special
efforts this year to prepare and have
the premium list printed at an early
date so that the farmers of Chester
field County could know in advance
what premiums would be offered at
the County Fair this fall. A copy Of
the premium list will be mailed to
anyone upon request-simply ask one
on postal card addressed to the
Secretary, County Fair, Chesterfield,
S. C.
In previous articl. in this paper
attention was called to some of the
special features of the premiums of
fered for the County Fair this fall,
like the $25.00 offered by Mr.. E.
Walker Duvall for the farmer who
raises one hundred bushels of corn
on one acre of Chesterfield County
soil; and the special prizes for Com
munity Fair exhibits, and displays by
individual farmers. The details of
all these can be found by persual of
the premium list.
In addition to the special prizes
premium list and cash prizes offered
other prizes that are worthy of sharp
competition. Almost every known
farm product has been named in the
prdemium list and cash prizes offered
for the best exhibit of same. The
Poultry department is full of prizes
and a good poultry exhibit will great
ly add to the Fair.
The field of Live Stock, Cattle and
Swine is covered in detail, the list of
prizes being numerous and the Fair
