CHESTERFIELD'S NEEDS

Nature has been kind to Chester
field. Our climate is about The same
as that of Aiken and Southern Pines,
for the enjoyment of which tourists
travel many miles and spend many
dollars. Our altitude is ideal, our nat
ural drainage perfect. We are the
hub of a fine agricultural community.
All this nature has done for us. But
as community we have done mighty
little for ourselves. With the cXcep-
ton OF electric lights we are without
sin&i> modern convenience. We are
without sufficient housing accomoda-
tions. We arc without any sort of no.
tel accommodation. We have no streets.
All of these things Chesterfield
needs and must have if she keeps
pace with civilization.
Our people are becoming alive to
the fact that We are no longer a vii
iage, that we are thriving business
center and as such must of necessity
expand or 90 backward Of late we
have gone backward. We have not
kept even with our fire losses. Our
buildings burn faster than we build
them.

Quarrel.

Paris, Aug: 24.-Betraying not a
bit of repugnance nor emotion,
Madame Bessarabo, the postess-
slayer, has re-enacted for the police
the scene of the murder OF her hus-
band, the Tampico oil magnate,
after which she showed where she
put the body in the trunk in which
it was dispatched to Nancy.
The drama took place in the same
room in the Bessarabo apartment
where the crime took place. A life
like dummy was used to represent
the slain husband. even his mus
tache being reproduced. The origl-
nal trunk was beside the bed.
With extraordinary calm Madame
Bessarabo took pistol-loaded with
blanks-and repeated from memory
the words of the quarrel which led
up to the tragedy, inliating every
shade and innexion Of her husbands
tones.
Working herself up into homicidal
fury, she screamed, seized the dunn
my by the throat in such way that

dummy's head.
Then, after bundling the dummy
corpse into the trunk and shutting
the lid, the literary murderess turned
to the police officers with a smile,
bowed and said:
