WRONG MAN KILLED
BY BANDIT POSSE
Searching Party Fires On
Suspects, Now Be-
ieVed Innocent.

SAVANNA, Ill, Sept. 1S.-Enraged
Savanna citizens, forming a posse this
noon for the capture of three hold-Up
men, shot and killed BOuis Bluhm and
wounded Peter Cymbal, both of Chi
cago. 1t is now believed that they
fired upon the wrong men. Thomas
Burns and Mike Lezandowski. also of
Chicago, are being held pending the
inquest this afternoon.
Louis Gydeson, Savanna Hotel pro-
prietoT, and three guests had been
robbed by the three hold-up men a
few minutes before the posse was
formed, yielding $266 in cash. Two
OF the guests were relieved OF their
watches, but the robbers were induced
to return the watches and also gave
S5 back to one of the men on the
latter's plea that he was stranded
miles from home.
The posse secured the environs Of
the city and searched every train,
picking up what was believed to be a
hot trail" when the four men leaped
from a box car and started for the
swamp south of the city. a volley Of
shots followed the fugitves refusal
to halt.

The sdry;' members Of Congress

loon League declared today. they are
confident the lid is on to stay, and
that conditions are so shaping them
selves .that President Wilson viii not
be able to lift wartime prohibition
before the constitutional amendment
becomes operative, January I6 OF next
year.
The war-time prohibition law is
operative until the conclusion of the
present war. and thereafter-Unti1 the
termination OF demobilization, the
date OF which shah be determined
and proclaimed by the President
ProhFbitioaists. pinning their faith
to the first part OF this law-"until

declare that the. President cannot eI-
ercise his power, of lifting the ban
until the United States is technically.
as well as practically at peace. To be
technically at peace requires the rat
ificatioh Of the Senate.
Demobillzation seems to be near at
hand and the a-wets" Sc a ray OF hope.
Ratification also is shortly looked
for. However, the "drys" insist that
the treaty with Austria must also
be ratified before the law permits
the removal OF wartime prohibition.

CHESTERFIELD TEAM
JUST CAN'T LOSE

Chesterfield won two games in sue
cesison from Chester.
The first of these, played Tuesday,
resulted in a score of to 1, in favor
of the locals.
Wednesdays game was again won
by Chesterfield by 6 to a.
To-day the third and last of the
Chester-Chesterfield series is being
played on the Cheraw grounds.
Considerable disappointment was
occasioned by the failure of Wades-
boro to show up for the game at the
Fair Grounds advertised for last Mon
day. Quite number of people came
from distances to see the game and,
of course, could not be notified that it
was off in time to save them the long
ride. 1t seems that Wadesboro was
unable to get her players together
for this game and the message was
considerably delayed in getting to
Manager c. c. Douglass.

STREET IMPROVEMENT
REPORT DELAYED
BY MAYORS ABSENCE

On account Of the absence from the
city of Mayor Trotti it has been
thought advisable to hold in abeyance
a report as to the progress made
with regard to improving Main Street.
The Advertiser promised it's read
ers report in this issue and regrets
that it cannot divulge what it knows
regarding this important matter with
out the consent of several persons
who are absent on vacations this
week. Among these are DIR. Trotti
and Mr.. Ira Redfearn, one of the town
wardens.
The Advertiser can assure those
interested that interest in the project
is being kept up and that when news
is given out it will be the kind that
cheers.

WANTED: BUILDERS WHO
WANT TO BUILD BUILDINGS

/ Chesterfield county is up against a
serious problem in regard to building
schools. Bids have been advertised
for and inquiries have been received,
but no builder has, so far, submitted
bid on any of the proposed new
buildings.
Seven new school buildings have
been authorized and it is hoped to
have some of them ready for late fall
opening. Thus, the lack of interest
on the part of builders is causing
some concern to the county educa-
tors.
The districts where new buildings
are to be erected are Pageland, Wins
low, Linton, Bay Springs, Leland,
Green Hill and Buffalo. County Sup
erintendent J. A. Knight is most
anxious to get part or all Of these
buildings under way at the earliest
moment and is much disappointed by
this turn of affairs.

Recruiting Party
Arouses Interest

Lieut.. Henry F. Gaylord, of the
Air Service, U. S. A., together with
Sergt. Snyder and Corporals Fowler
and Clancy, compose a general re-
cruiting party sent out from Camp
jackson to tour this part Of the state.
This party travels in an army car
completely outfitted for the purpose.
The officers are presenting in very
attractive way the many advantages
of the army in peace times; advanta-
ges that could never obtain in war
times.
Now that there is no fighting to be
done the army is teaching her soldiers
peace-time vocations. Every useful
trade from plumbing, automobile me-
chanics, truck driving, electricity, me-
chanical engineering to agriculture,
live stock raising and horse shoeing
are taught and taught thoroughly.
For the backward recruits there are
grammar schools and primary schools.
An education is assured.
There are opportunities for the ad-
vanced scholar as well as for the be-
ginner. In fact the courses have been
initiated with view of combining
practical working knowledge with
theoretical training
Lieut. Gaylord reports the follow
ing enlistments in Chesterfield coun.
ty:
Paul Lefler, Luther Griffin, Eddie
Poison, Alice Stokes, Fairy Mathews
c. o. McGee, Robt M. Lynch, Willie
Watson and David White, all of Che.
raw. From Mt Croghan: Theron Belk

The party has not given as much time
to Chesterfield as to the other places
and, on that account, will be here
again next Friday. A number of 9th
ers have signi.ed their intention O.

Messrs Horace Wilhelm, Gus Rowe
and jamie johnson were visiting in
Chesterfield last Sunday.
Middendorf is improving. A new
store is coming in the first of Sep
tember. The building across the
street from the Post Office is being
put in good condition for the new
goods soon to arrive.
Is it not time we, as a community,
honored our returned soldiers with a
picnic or something of the sort? Some
one get busy.
The campaign against illiteracy is
on in this county and throughout the
State of South Carolina. Let US hope
that at least half Of the illiterates of
this state will know how to sign their
names by the end Of the term. The
classes in this community are pro-
crossing rapidly. 1t is remarkable
how quickly the pupils have learned
to read, write and figure. Having
been a primary teacher and knowing
that a child does well to write his
name at the end of nine months
term, must confess that l had my
doubts as to very much being learned
in twelve lessons. But, much to my
surprise, all but three Of the thirty
pupils learned to write their names in
the first lesson. After the first lesson
in figuring and reading the pupils
have progressed rapidly with little, if
any, trouble. Let US hope that with
in the next few years illiteracy will
be banished from our State, if it takes
the enforcement of the law to do it.
Mrs. J. A. Rowe passed away at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. johnson,
on Friday August /. Her death came
as sudden shock to her relatives and
many friends. Although not in the
best of health herself she tried to Wis
it and comfort the sick and was on
such a mission, to see Mrs. Johnson
when she was taken with appoplexy
and soon passed away. She was q
member Of the Methodist church since
girlhood and has always lived true
Christian life. She had many friends
and. as one girl said, 81 feel that
am better woman for having known
her." She stated to the writer, as she
lay on her death bed, ~ have tried te
live so that those who knew me car
say She has done the best she could
And those few words tell the story
Of her life. A husband, six children
and many relatives mourn her loss
The children are: d. M. Rowe ant

Stricklin and Mrs. McManus, Of Ham
let; Mr.. G. w. Rowe, of Columbia

COUNTY FAIR WILL
BE HELD NOV. l2-l5
OATES FINALLY FIXED AND
ATTRACTIONS ARE
ENGAGED
iThe Premium List Is Now In The
Hand. OF The Printer;
Broadway Shows

The dates for the Chesterfield
County Fair have been set for No
vember IL to Is, inclusive. Thus, n
glance at the calendar will show that
the fair begins on Wednesday and
ends on Saturday. The last day, as
, usual, will be the colored folks day.
Contracts have been entered into
between the Fair and The Broadway
Shows, whereby these shows will fur
nish entertainment not to be found
in the exhibition buildings. The
Broadway Shows are the most pre-
tentious group of exhibitions yet con-
tracted for by the Fair Association.
Besides furnishing the amusement
concessions for the Midway" they
will furnish bands and free shows.
In the day time one of the free ex-
ibitions will be high dive. In this
feat the diver will leap, head first
from a platform 65 feet high, into a
small tank with only four feet of
water in which to land. At night "the
leap for life" produces big thrill.
Compilation of the premium list
for exhibits is now under way and the
important innovations, of which sew
eral are promised will soon be an
nounced. One of these will be prizes
for tobacco. All tobacco growers
should note this and save some good
samples for exhibition.
The Advertiser, as usual, is pre-
pairing the premium list. 1t will be
in the form of booklet and will con-
tain about fifty pages. In order that
this list shall be self supporting adver-
tising matter is being accepted,
up to limited point. The covers have
been printed in colors and an attrac-
tive memento, well worthy of being
saved, will be the result of the care
full and expert work being put into
this years premium list.
Five thousand copies will be prin-
ted and distributed; ope or more will
reach every reading family in Ches-
terfield County.
