CHESTERFIELD, ROUTE 4

Farmers are rapidly preparing for
plar ting gardens and tobacco in this
community.
So many of our friends of this
community have moved that we can
not tell who they are nor where they
moved to.
Mrs. Sarah Rogers of the Sugar
Loaf section, is spending few days
on this route.
There is no influenza in our sec
tion at the present
Mr.. j. w. Odom, of this route, is
spending some time at Hartsville.
Mr.. J. II. Brown, Of near Angelus,
spent Sunday night at the home Of
Mr.. G.. N. Clanton's.
Mr.. w. A. Sullivan is preparing to
move his saw mill to near Mr.. Char
lie Jones place.
Some folks say it is time to hold
their cotton and others say its time
to hold cotton seed. So if you want
to play safe better hold both, l guess.
Miss Ida Purvis is convalescing
from an attack of influenza, much to
the delight Of her many friends.

FUTURE PRICES

The following is from The Anne
rican Cloak and Suit Review of Janu-
airy, and is of timely interest to pros
pective buyers of clothing as we'll as
prospective sellers of cotton:
With rare exceptions cotton goods,
wash goods, of any and every descrip-
ton are not going to be lower in
price in the next few months, or the
next few years. We will stake our
reputation, and it is reputation at
that, and we should most nightly
hate to lose it, that present raw cot
ton prices will look small in six
months or year from now. At that
1T does not take such an unusual
amount of common sense to make
such prediction. The United States
is one of the big producers of raw
cotton in the world. With the sign
ing of the armistice our Allies were
sufficiently encouraged to come to
look to this country for greatly in
creased supplies. When the peace
treaties are signed both neutrals and
enemies will come into the market
in most unprecedented way.
Some neutrals are already looking
for cotton yarns. Then what will
happen?
Well, read these notes for the third
week in December. "The export
movement of cotton is showing
steady Improvement and for three
weeks has run well above last years
figures for the same period"

DEATH OF MRS. w. C. WHITE, JR.

Chesterfield was grieved to learn
Wednesday afternoon of the death in
York, s. c., of Mrs. w. G. White, Jr.
It has been known here that Mrs.
White was suffering from a relapse
OF influenza, but the news that she
had died at 2 o'clock came as a dis
tinct shock.
Mrs. White, nee Miss Nan Laney,
was the daughter of DR.. and Mrs.
d. H. Laney, of Chesterfield. Be-
sides many relatives, she leaves a
great host of friends to morun her
death, and whose sympathies are ex-
tended to the bereaved family and
husband.

Perhaps it would have been bet

war, a great plate to catch not only
the millions of the oil kings, but

AMERICANS GOT
FLAG OF SURRENDER
FOR SOUVENIRS
Busy Cook, However, Got
Only Generals Goat

If the day should ever come
when some made-in-Germany his
tory book attempts to claim less
than defeat for the Kaiser in the
great war;, there will be number
of Americans-members of S.S.U.
No. 59S, to be concrete-Who will
be able to offer tangible proof of
the fall of Prussianism in the form
of certain little white squares Of
linen that were once part Of the
flag of surrender itself.
One man of the S.S.U. will have
nothing to show, however, and that
will be the cook, which is a story.
After General Won Winterfeld
and the other German armistice
delegates came through the line at
Guise November 8 and the line
moved few miles to the eastward,
as it had a habit of doing in those
days, their five automobiles return
ed to La Capelle, where the occu-
pants got a welcome from the
French that made their blood boil.
But they got somewhat differ
ent reception from the 80 members
of S.S.U. No. 598, which arrived in
town the same day, attached to the
33rd French Division. The Ameri-
cans souvenir instinct was arous-
ed. In a very short time after the
cars were parked, not one of them
showed a white flag, and most of
the Americans had souvenirs in
their pockets-the best souvenir
of the war, they are saying now.
The German chauffeurs seemed to
join in the joke, and Won Winter
fields own driver willingly auto
graphed one of the pieces, the
photograph of which is shown here
obligingly signing his chiefs
name and inscribing himself as a
"happy North-Schleswiger" as if
to disown in advance any thought
of his alliance with Prussia, vic
torious or defeated. In addition he
recorded the place and date.
While the rape of the linens was
going on, the cook was busy in the
kitchen, but when word came to
him he rushed out only to find the
autos stripped of their symbols of
defeat. Nothing daunted, he went
back to the kitchen, found a screw
driver and began to remove the
horn from General von Winter.

JUMPING ON THE Y
Chief Weakness in it's Person.
mel Says Stars and
Stripes

To be thoroughly fashionable
these days it is absolutely essen
tial to jump on the Y.M.C.A. All
the best people are doing it. An
investigation of the Red Triangle
has been in progress In the States,
and the same newspapers which, a
few months ago, were rashly CIV
ing over their columns to quite un-
scrutinized publicity for the Y are
now devoting those columns to the
most blistering criticism.
Out of all the jabber there will
probably emerge the fact that the
Y.M.C.A. was Unexpectedly bur-
dened with a much bigger task
than it could possibly have per-
formed to the satisfaction of all
concerned, and that it was chiefly
handicapped by an unfortunately
chosen personnel. In it's personnel
it's chief weakness has lain.
And on this point it should be
remembered that the 7, unlike the
Government, had to take what it
could get. 1t could not draft, and
it was obliged to do it's recruiting
for a most difficult job after the
best America could boast in youth
and enthusiasm had already been
pledged to the Army and Navy.
How difficult it's problem was
you will never appreciate till you
try to select a half a dozen ideal
Y secretaries from among your
own acquaintances. Old Shag

Dismount Gracefully

The Tenth United States Cavalry
is still laughing over the doughboy
who chanced in on them when they
were trying to break in some new
horses. One horse in particular
seemed to be unridable. The
doughboy, after watching the
cavalrymen try to ride the brute
and fail, stepped forward and said
"Let me show you how" The
'cavalrymen were willing and the
rookie climbed aboard. He stuck
for moment, but when the horse
did a regular buck the would-be
buster took header. He picked
himself out of the dust, smiled,
and said: "That's the way. When
you see he don't want you on any
longer, just step off gracefully"

"MiSSING IN ACTION

All through those days of the
growing casualty lists one feature
of the reports was the number
missing in action"
Many of these victims were
found TO be in German prisons.
Some had been wounded. Some,
overcome by weight of numbers,
had been taken prisoners out
right. Many were more dead than
alive.
A lot of folks here at home have
been missing in action" without
having done anything at all.
Simply laid down their arms and
surrendered without firing a shot.
None of us can afford to be in
that list.
Every one of us can be on the
list of "those present" instead of
missing in action" if we do our
share in the Victory Liberty Loan.

fields auto. Unfortunately the
General appeared on the scene and
although, when fairly calm, he
possesses a good command of Eng
lish, the situation proved too much
for his vocabulary and he dropped
into German and bawled out the
cook in several varieties of Boche
cuss-words.
So the cook, while he cannot
boast of getting a Boche flag, at
least has the pleasure of knowing
that he successfully captured a
generals goat.-Stars and Stripes.

SUGAR CONPLAIkT
GOES TO CUrLEY

Although members OF City Council
on Wednesday night discussed the
present sugar shortage and method OF
sales now employed by some dealers
In the commodity, no mention was
made OF the subject at Councils weekly
session last night. II had been thought
that United states District Attorney
Charles F. Curley would be present,
Council having asked him to discuss
lhe subject with them. Il was an
iiounced prior TO the meeting that Mr..
Curley could not attend the session OF
Council.
r several members OF Council expressed
the opinion that the police department
should prohibit the holding OF sugar
sales on Wednesdays and Saturdays
when congestion on .he streets is more
pronounced.
It was reported 90 the Councilmen
last night that one city grocer IS charg-
ing IS cents a pound for white sugar.
This is contrary to The edic. issued by
Tilted Slales District Attorney Curley
last week, when he stated That II Gems
was the fair price agreed on by govern
ment officials for sugar. The con-. laint
made TO Council will be brought 20
