TOO SICK
TO COME HERE

Deputy Sheriff J. T. Grant has re-
turned from the snow-covered, ice-
, bound North, where he went on what
turned out to be, through no fault of
his nor of mortal man, a wild-goose
chase.
The story is long one and had it's
opening chapters in Chesterfield
County away back in 1913. A negro
known both as William Moore and
Doc Mccoy broke into and robbed a
store in Patrick and was subsequent
ly apprehended and lodged
in the Chesterfield jail.
lie managed to make his escape and
fled to parts unknown. He enjoyed
his freedom for nearly five years, but
hnally broke into a prison that he
couldn't break out of. This was the
Southern Prison of the State of In
diana, located at Michigan City, on
the shores of Lake Michigan. He was
sent up for four years for trying his
hand at his old game of burglary
Having served two years of that sem
tence he was about to be released on
parole for good behavior, thus indi-
eating that he had not attempted to
escape from the Indiana institution.
In some way, known only to those
whose business it is to know, Sheriff
ID. =. Douglass knew that Moore, or
Mccoy, was the negro who broke
Jail here in 1913 and as he was about
to be released Deputy Grant was sent
to Michigan City with requistion to
meet him as he should be freed.
Arriving at the big penal institu-
ton MIR. Grant was informed that his
man was in the hospital dangerously
i'll with influenza, in fact not expected
to get well.
So, in view of these facts Mr..
Grant returned to await the negro's
recovery or otherwise. MIR. Grant
says he is just as willing that it be
otherwise SO far as he is concerned,
unless the weather in that part of the
country moderates considerably be-
fore he has to go back for the prison.

INTER CHURCH
TO SURVEY THE COUNTY

Rev. A. J. Brock, travelling repre-
sentative of the Inter-Allied Church
movement, was in Chesterfield Tues
day IN the interest Of that organiza-
ton. Mr.. Brock addressed an audi
ence composed of ministers and law
men of several denominations and ex-
planned the objects Of the movement
and enlisted the services of a COM
mittee which will make a church sur
vey of this county. This survey will
be used in making = religious map.
which will show at glance how each
and every section of the county is
covered, by which church, locations
OF churches and circnits and the re-
llgious and non-religious populations
In his address Mr.. Brock told of
the work that had already been done
throughout the world in collecting in
formation for Christian churches of
all denominations, so that each
church may know of the needs of it's
own parishes in reaching members of
It's own sect that are not i'm close

IS not an effort to interfere in anv
way with the separate working of anv
denomination; but is intended to as
SiSt all Christian churches to extend
their work into neglected fields. The
sat of South Carolina is now being
surveyed and the few counties that
have so far been capped show condi-
tons that atounded church workers
IN those localities. For this reason a
survey of Chesterfield County will be
made.
A committee composed of d. L.
Smith and G. j. Jenkins, of Chester
field, l.. NJ. Evans, of Cheraw, and

RAILROAD MAN DENIES
GOMPERS' STATEMENT
ABOUT FREIGHT RATES

Recently Samuel Gompcrs, Presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor made the statement that the
return of the roads to their owners
would be followed by an increase in
freight rates that would cause an in
crease in the cost of living The state
mcnt reads as follows:
"Dircctor General Hines and mem
bcrS of the Interstate Commerce
Commission have shown clearly that
the return of the railroads will in
volve an increase IN freight reve-
nue. of close to a billion dollars, the
rates being increased 25 to so per
cent. This increase in rates, accord
ing to these same authorities, will be
reflected in an increased cost of liv-
ing of at least $4,000, 100000 wear,
probably $4,000, 1000, 900. The Ameri
can people cannot and should not
stand such increases"
julius Kruttschnitt, Chairman of
Of the Executive Committee of the
Southern Pacific Company, denied
this statement, saying that the re-
turn of the commodities, and in
creased freight rates, would
not be followed by an increased cost
of living.

p. c. CAMPBELL FLAYS
ANTI-SALOON IEACIJE

From Mr.. p. c. Campbell, of Ange-
lus, comes this heavily loaded cpistle
for the enlightenment of readers of
The Advertiser:
The Anti-Saloon League has the
sound of anarchiSm, anti-Christ, ante
anti-preparcdness; is OPP
posed to liberty, against American
lSm' against peace, a thrust at hu-
manity, foe to freedom and men
ace to the welfare Of our country.
Its aims seem to be to stir up the
same strife that split the Union in
1865. Stand by the Stars and
Stripes, stand for Liberty. Liberty
belongs to the United States, Liberty
is the true American ideal.

SHIPPING BOARD
REFUSES TO SELL
GERMAN SHIPS AS A UNIT

Chairman Payne of the Shipping
Board has refused an offer made by
the international Mercantile Corpor-
alton to buy all the former German
passenger ships put on the market by
the Shipping Board. eve will not sell
all the ships to any one corporation
or combination, but will sell them so
that there will be fair distribution
among the various shipping com
panies," Mr.. Payne said. Chairman
Payne said that two policies had been
laid down by the Shipping Board, de-
signed to prevent sales to big combi-
nations. One was that ships sold must
fly the American flag, and the other
that some of the designated ships
must run in certain trade routes. The
Shipping Board will not sell ships if
these conditions are not agreed to by
bidders.

CONTROVERSY OVER
A. FLAG STATION

There is siding and flag station
at Catoe on the c. Il l.. railroad,
about two miles West of Chesterfield
There is siding but no flag station
at the cotton gin and store of Mr.
w. G. Sellers, about mile and a
half further West on the same road.
The advantages of afiag station ov-
er siding not SO distinguished are
that trains may be tagged at the for
mer and will then stop to take on
passengers, freight or express, while
in order to have trains stop at sid
ing requires orders from the train
dispatcher. Thus passenger, con-
segment of freight or express may
arrive at a flag station few minutes
before train time and be taken
aboard. At the siding trains will
stop to set off freight car billed
for that place and will stop to pick
up car if the train dispatcher has SO
ordered but not otherwise.
Realizing the advantages Of having
flag station in their community the
citizens living near Mr.. Sellers place
have for some time been petitioning
him to urge the c.. e. l.. to make that
point station. This Mr.. Sellers did,
representing that the community sur
rounding his place, being situated ap-
proximatclf half way between Chcs-
terrified and Ruby, was entitled to
this service and he earnestly request
ed the road to consider the needs Of
his section. Mr.. Sellers had no
thought of working any inquiry to
the Catoc community.
Recently commission from the
Scaboard came along and looked over
the field. They examined the station
at Catoc, made careful inquiry as to
the business done, the number Of
people served and such other matters
as seemed pertinent and proceeded on
| to the Sellers siding and there made
| similar investigation. The commits
| sion then announced that two flag
| stations between Chesterfield and Ru-
| by were not warranted, and that, in
case they decided on giving the Sell
ers siding flag station they would
remove the flag from the station at
| Catoe.
! Now, the good citizens from around
! Catoc are up in arm" at the prospect
Of losing the distinction and bcnc-
| fits Of being flag station and are
| openly accusing the residents from
around Sellers siding Of conspiring
to deprive them of this blessing. Many
of them have blamed Mr. Sellers for
using his influence with the Scaboard
to have their community denoted in
order that Sellers siding may be pro-
noted.
Mr.. Sellers does not deny that he
has made honest endcavor to have
his community benefited by the rec
ognition of the flag at his siding
but strongly AYERS that he has never
suggested that Catoe be the loser
by such an arrangement
Meantime, the commission has not
rendered a decision.
