The Chesterfield advertiser. [volume] (Chesterfield C.H., S.C.) 1884-1978, 1918-10-24

went to Cheraw Tuesday, where he
conferred with the Cheraw Board Of
Health concering the methods to be
taken to prevent the further spread
of influenza.
More than a week ago Mr.. and
Mrs. F. A. Cannon were called to
Clarendon county to see Mr.. Can
mons mother, who was hurt in an ac-
cident. News has just been received
in Chesterfield that both Mr.. and Mrs.
| Cannon are now confined with the
influenza, which is raging in that
county.
Mr.. G. H. Gulledge, township su-
pervisor of Mt. Croghan township,
brought us snake with two feet.
The snake was of the variety known
as a rattle snakes pilot and it had
| two protuberances very much resem-
hilng feet, where it's feet ought to
be. Mr.. Gulledge, by the way doesn't
believe in taking influenza cure as
preventive and ye editor hadn't
had an opportunity to practice his
belief in that respect.
The clocks go bacl; an hour Sat-
lrday night and old time will be re-
iimed on Sunday. Slow, or winter
ime will last from the last Sunday
n October until the last Sunday in
March, when fast, or summer time
will be resumed. There are five
months of winter time and seven
months of summer time. Thus the
clocks will keep pace with the sun.
The government has placed ban
IN all building operations except
hose absolutely necessary. A per-
nit is now required in order to pur-
chase doors, windows and all kinds
of finished lumber. Necessary build
tngs for farm purposes will be al
lowed to be constructed. This ruI-
ng of the War Industries Board
was brought about by the scarcity
Of labor and steel.
Engine trouble is again responsible
Tor The Advertisers being late. 1t
seems that we have not been able to
eliminate the evil spirit from our gas
engines. Every known remedy has
been tried save prayer and fasting,
hough we confess we have done
good deal Of fasting without prayer.
However, if our readers will be pa
lent yet little longer we believe we
will master the situation.
h, nn <c fha Of
;election has been moved to Cheraw.
| a part of the new Class ! is being
examined this week; others will be
examined next week and the work
continued until all in Class under
The new registration have been phys
ically examined. AS the infueE2a
is fast coming under control in the
amps, large call for men is ex-
| pecJed at an early date.
The question Of quarantine in
Chesterfield county for families
where there are cases Of influenza
s being discussed. While this is a
Snatter for the county health officials
to decide, it is mater of grave con-
cern to us all. Even with the in
creased number of cases during the
past few days the disease in this
county is as Yet relatively light. By
The exercise of proper precautions
t may be possible to prevent Sc
rious epidemic here.
The United War Work Campaign
will be the week of Nov. IL to 18.
Chesterfield County's quota is $l2,-
900 and this money will be raised
easily for every right-thinking per-
.on will be glad to contribute to the
I.M.C.A. and the other great organi-
Hations of like character. Chester
field county has nearly one thousand
men, white and black, in the army
and navy and every one of these,
without exception, will swear and
fight for the army "Y."
Do you want the schools and
churches to open again quickly?
Then help to bring this about by do
ing your part. Make it personal
matter. Stay at home and KEEP
THE CHILDREN AT HOME. Do
not visit the sick unless you go to
help or nurse. Keep out Of crowds
Shun those who are sneezing and
coughing. When you sneeze or
cough cover your mouth and nose
If all will join whole e-heartedly in
the effort to stamp out this dease,
it may be a little hard on business
for the present but it will stamp out
the epidemic quickly, wheji things
will again go on as usual.
The old Methodist invitation, GAS
these retire, let others come FORTH"
is applicable just now to the numer-
Gus opportunities to help the Govern
ment win the war. The Fourth Lib
erty Loan is over, but the War Saw
,ngs Stamps are still with us and are
now again bidding for your attention.
