PAGE THREE
TIME YOU MUST LIVE
IN PRECINCT TO VOTE

For the benefit of those who are in
doubt as to how long a person must
reside in precinct to entitle him to
the right to vote there, Clerk John r.
Moore of the Board of Deputy State
Supervisors of Elections for Medina
county, submits the following informa-
ton.
No person shall be permitted to
vote unless he shall have been a resi-
dent of the state for one year, of the
county thirty days, and township, vii
lage or precinct, twenty days. A
person who is the head of family and
has resided in the state and county the
length of time required and who bona
fide removes with his or her family
from precinct to another precinct in
the same city, village, or to town
ship or village in the same county, or
from one township to another, shall
have the right to vote without having
resided therein the required length of
time.
All judges in determining the. resi-
dence of a person presenting himself
before he board shall be governed by
the following rules, so far as they
may be applicable:
That place shall be considered the
residence of person in which his
habitation is fixed, and to which, when
ever he is absent, he has the intention
of returning.
A person shall not be considered to
have gained residence in any county
in this state into which he comes for
temporary purposes merely, without
the intention of making such county
his home. This would apply to men
and women moving in the oil and gas
fields of the county.
Mr.. Moore suggests to all such per-
sons who have not gained a residence,
that they apply to their home boards
for an absent voters ballot.

TO SELECT SEED CORN
FREE FROM ROOT ROT

AS a guide in the selection Of seed
corn to secure ears thai are free from
root rot disease, the department OF
botany, Ohio Experiment Station, an
nounces the following rules:
l. Select ears only from stalks which
have made a vigorous growth and are
firmly rooted in the soil.
2. Select ears which break away
clean without a ragged appearance al
the butt.
8. Reject all ears which show g
mold-like growth.
a. Place ears selected on rack OF
frame where rapid drying may pro-
iced without delay.
Tests shcw that less than one per
cent of the crop of corn is found to be
affected where the seed was disease
free.
Wet weather after the corn is ir
the shock favors the development o1
root rot fungi, hence it is desirable tc
select seed ears before or during cut
ting of the corn.

SEPT. RECORD OF OIL
AND GAS HERE LARGE

Greater activity was shown in devel-
opment work in the Central Ohio oil
and gas fields during September than
for any of the past few months, as
the large gas companies are doing ev-
erything possible to get supply of
gas for the winters use, and the shall
low oil fields of Medina county have
been an attraction.
The month shows 1926 competitions,
OF which IS were dry holes and 28
were gas wells, the other SO being oil
wells with productions of 618 barrels.
When compared with the figures for
August this shows an increase of 13
in completed wells and one in gas wells
there being decrease of one in dry
holes and decline of 80 barrels in
production.
This great number of compilations
for September is due to the big work
doing in Medina county, there being
IS wells completed here and Sc of the
81 oil wells were in Medina county. The
oil end of this county is now scattered
over Litchfield, Harrisville and Chath-
am townships and spreading further
into the interior of the county,

LIBERAL FERTILIZATION
NEEDED ON LATE WHEAT

Late wheat sowing should be accom-
panied by heavy fertilization, accord
ing to soil fertility experts at the
Ohio Experiment Station. 1t is
pointed out that because of the He's
sian fly menace, wheat seeding has
been delayed considerably; weather
conditions also have been favorable
for average seeding time.
Because of it's marked effect in has
tening the early growth and the final
maturity of the wheat plant, acid
phosphate is especially valuable to
apply, to late sown wheat.
Acid phosphate has an excellent ef-
feet applied even at any time during
the fall, winter or early spring. Il
will not lose its strength, but will be
held by the soil and what the wheat
does not get will be carried forward
to subsequent crops.
T0pdressing wheat with manure al
the rate Of A to 6 tons per acre in the
winter is practiced more than former.

OHIO GROWN APPLES
HAVE VARIED USES

"Use Ohio Apples" This is a slo.
gan put out by apple growers in the
State to encourage use of their pro.
duct.
Tests conducted at the Ohio Expert
ment station show that the apples OF
Ohio have a wide variation in their
use, so that housewives need not look
to other apple sections to secure the
best product for home use.
Practically all of the unknown
varieties are now produced in Ohio
and it has been found that under Ohio
conditions apples have better quality
and appearances than those from far
western states.
A bulletin on the adoption of Ohio
apples to their many uses is mailed
free, upon request to the Ohio Expert
ment Station, Wooster, Ohio.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
WAITING FOR SALARIES

County Superintendent of Educa-
tion J. A. Knight has written the
rail roads and other big tax payers
of the county requesting them to set
tie their tax bills at the earliest pos
sible moment in order that the teach
ers of the county may be paid their
salaries. There being no money in the
treasury for the purpose it is neces-
sary that taxes be paid promptly in
order that the school expenses be
met. Mr.. Knight states that all tax
payers should make an effort to pay
their taxes at once, no matter how
large or small they may be, as the
county is in dire need of funds and the
> tax payer saves himself money by
paying up before penalty is attach
ed to his regular taxes.

HARD ON MOONSHINFRS

LeVan Roric, a negro who was ar.

on the charge of making whiskey and
who was acquitted by jury at the

not agree with the jury that found
him innocent, as he pleaded guilty
when his case was called in Federal
Court at Columbia last week. He was
fined $500 and costs Or three months
in Jail. He is in Jail.

WIRE BREAKS
WOMAN ELECTROCUTED

During the storm Tuesday after
noon tree fell on the feed wire of
the Teal Light and Power Company,
breaking the wire and shutting off the
current, putting Chesterfield in dark
ness for the night.
When the break was found on
Wednesday morning the dead body
of negro woman named Nezzie Ro-
rie was found lying across the wire.
The wire had broken at Evans Mill,
short distance from the woman's
house and she had been cutting wood
almost directly under the line. One
of her hands was badly burned and
her face showed signs of the contact.
Although missed from her home the
woman's family thought that she had
gone to spend the night with a neigh
Dor and no search was made for her.
Just how she came in contact will
never be known, but it is surmized
that she saw it fall and picked it up.
AS rain was falling at the time a
touch of the wire is all that would be
necessary to form a circuit through
the body.

L. M. EVANS COMPANY
QUITS CHESTERFIELD

The l.. NJ. Evans Company of Che
raw, which for the past year has op-
Grated department store in Ches-
terfield, has removed it's goods from
this place and closed the doors of the
establishment.
Mr.. Huey, local manager, for the
Evans Company, will go to Cheraw
and continue with the firm. Mr.. IIuey
gave as the reason for abandoning the
Chesterfield store that the stocl. of
goods carried here was needed at
Cheraw and that with the low price
of cotton the firm did not feel justi-
fled by the outlook in continuing in
business here.
There has been considerable spccu-
lation as to who would secure the
Evans location, as it is known that
sevral firms have applied for it. There
is a rumor afoat that the United
States Government will be the next
tenant, with Post Master MeChan in
charge. However, this has not been
settled, there being considerable diff
ference between the amount of rent
allowed by the government and that
demanded by the owners of the build
ing. An inspector from Washington,
who spent several days last week in
Chesterfield, has Informed his depart
ment that the present post-officc is
entirely inadequate to handle the
volume of business that is transacted
therein. He recommended an imme-
diate increase in the rental allowance.
The Edgeworth Jewelry Company
is also an applicant for the location.
The Square Deal Drug Company Is in
the market for a new location. but as
the lease on their present premises
holds until May, this company is not
yet worrying.
