FUND NEARLY USED

Seven ,Jrmer service men in this
county have received free scholarships
for correspondence courses given by
the Y. NJ. C. A. Those to whom the
awards were made are Adolph BOeye,
Harold Burton, Robert Isham, Carl
'Odor and Lacy L. Darnell of this city,
and Herman Nelson and Carl A. John
son Of Stanhope.
The scholarships range in value from
$35 to 500 and include salesmanship,
complete commercial, farm crops, ac-
counting, electrical equipment as ap-
piled to automobiles and bookkeeping
courses.
Awarded by Committee.
They were awarded through the
local committee of the Y. NJ. G. A.
composed of DIR. f. f. Richardson, H.
NJ. Sparboe, b. f. Paine and Miss Mary
McHenry. The funds which pay for
the scholarships are part of the 1925
apportioned to the county which was
set aside by the National War Work
Council of the Y. NJ. c. A. to be distri-
'buted according to population.
Although the amount allowed for
this county has been practically ex-
'hausted owing to the demand for the
scholarships, more courses may posi-
bly, be obtained from the state fund for
collegiate scholarships which range
from $50 up. Such courses are given
at state institutions, the fund provid-
ing for instruction and textbooks.
Application for these may be made to
Miss McHenry at the Chamber of
Commerce rooms. She now has on
file, three more app, ,tions for cor
respOndence courses, but scholarships
have not yet been awarded these appli-
cants, as Miss McHenry is awaiting
more information as to special courses
which the applicants desire to obtain.

CHICKEN JUDGE
DELIVERS LECTURE

On Tuesday night at the school au-
ditorium Mr.. w. H. Card, of Man
chester, Conn.,, who judged the poul-
try at the county fair, delivered a
lecture which was we'll attended and
most heartily enjoyed by the many
Chesterfield people who are interested
in blooded fowls. Besides being the
foremost judge of poultry in America
Mr.. Card proved that he knew how to
talk on his subject, and, more be-
sides, he illustrated his words with
crayon drawings in colors. His ver-
satility was a source of wonder, but
proved none the less enjoyable. Re-
freshments were served by the ladies
and a general good time was had. 1t
is the intention of the poultry raisers
to have Mr.. Card Judge the exhibits
at next years fair and at that time
another lecture will be given. Those
who were present Tuesday night
have already asked for invitations to
next years talk.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS

Night riders visited the homes of
many negroes in Dillon County last
Saturday night and again on Sun
day night. The riders ordered the ne.
groes to get busy in the cotton fields
and not to charge more than 81 a
hundred for picking short staple and
$l.25 and $3.50 for long staple. The
negroes became much excited and
some are leaving the county. The res
. pectable white people have held a
mass meeting and condemned the ac-
ton of the so-called riders. There
has been good feeling between the
whites and colored people of Dillon
County and they both resent outside
interferences. The riders claimed to
be from North Carolina.

SEALS TO FIGHT THE
GREAT WHITE PLAGUE

Columbia, Nov. 6.-The 1920
Christmas Seal Sale is not a new
movement, says a statement issued
by the executive committee of the
South Carolina tuberculosis Associa-
ton. Since 1907 they have been sold
to support anti-tuberculosis activities.
1--WE realize" says the association
that the people are tired Of drives
and campaigns Many organizations
since the war, are raising great
amounts of money through campaigns
and drives. The Christmas Seal Sale
IS not new movement. The people
know these little seals and are anxi-
Gus to buy them.
"Ninety-five per cent. Of the money
realized from the sale of the seals and
health bonds will remain in South
Carolina. The remaining five per cent.
goes to the National tuberculosis As
sociation with which the South Caro-
lima Tuberculosis Association is afil-
lated.
"Of the 95 per cent. that remains
in South Carolina a very large per
cent. of this is divided among the
county associations.
"The five per cent. that goes to
the National Tuberculosis Association
is used all around the globe. Wherev-
er the flag of the United States flies
whether in the Philippines, Porto
Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, Maine or Cali
fornia, the double barred cross and
the National Observation-Disclosures
are there.
1T is an inspiration to tell that
South Carolina along with the other
states and territories of Uncle Sam
are standing shoulder to shoulder in
solid front against the tuberculosis
bacillus. This tiny germ, SO insignifi-
cant and invisible and yet so powerful
that it is today demanding a death toll
larger than any other plague, is how
ever being gradually controlled and
we may look forward to that day
when it will be completely under the
sway of man. Until that time comes
South Carolina has a mission not on
ly to her own citizens, but the citi-
zens of the world"

The stock display, consisting most
ly of hogs, is another thing that is a
credit to Chesterfield county. If any
inner swine can be raised in any To-
cality than those exhibited at this
fair, they have not been on exhibi-
ton at any of tn state fairs in recent
years. Duroc-Jerseys predominated
in the exhibits.
A new building was given entirely
over to the poultry. A trip through
this poultry house is in itself a liberal
education to the chicken raiser. Pen
after pen of proud and glossy fowls
strut before the observer in a number
of varieties. Rhode Island Reds and
Barred Rorks outnumbered the 9TH
ers, these being the favorie breeds of
this county.
Prizes and cups were won by
Messrs. D. w. Knight, Parnell Nee

others. A complete list of prize-win-
ners of poultry will be published next

While Tuesdays crowd was light,
as is nearly always the case when that

gathering was on hand Wednesday.

thing can be seen and fully enjoyed.
However, if there be a person in the
county who has not attended, he
should crank up the Ford, or harness
the mule, forthwith and get in one or
two days on the grounds, and he will
see more in that length of time than
ever before for one price of admis-
