Let's Make the South "The Land oi
the Grape Myrtle"

All over the South now, the BIOS
soming Grape myrtles are adding to
the beauty of the homes that are for
tunate enough to have them. II you
have no Grape myrtles on your ground
why not decide now to get some
sprouts from q neighbor this fall or
else order a few from some nursery
man?
AS we have aften said before, ifany
other section of the United States had
a virtual monopoly Of tree as beau
tiful as the Grape myrtle, and as cas-
lily grown, that section would soon be-
come famous as 1.-THE Land Of Grape
Myrtle" Why then should not the
South make use Of its opportunities
in this respect? The Grape myrtle
will not flourish in the colder states
north of us. II Is one Of Gods spe-
cial gifts of beauty to the South; and
no other Towering shrub or tree
blooms for so long a period, has such
a variety Of colors and tints, or re-
quires less care.
If only one Grape myrtle sprout were
set out in every Southern farmers
yard this fall, that action alone would
not only help beautify each individual
home but would also 60 far toward
making the South "The Land Of the
Grape Myrtle" Is 1t not worth do
ing.
The Civic League has requested that
we print the. above article and ASK
that every property owner in Cheraw
secure sprouts this Fall and plant one
or more Grape myrtle trees in every
front yard. You have probably no.
ticed in yards In Cherawta number of
these beautiful trees in bloom this
summer and it would certainly be a
beautiful sight il every front yard
could have in bloom at the same time
one of these trees. We are sure the
following committee of the Civic
League will help you secure the
sprouts: Mesdames VIM. Godfrey and
T. P. Harrall. |F
Help make your town one you will
be proud Of.

him to inspect carefully movie thea
tres told the Chronicle man that Che
raw's theatre, the Lyric was one Of

THE CRITIC

To play the role. of the critic Is
about the easiest thing we know. II
requires neither grace nor brains to
turn this trick. And 1t seemsEso' fun
ny that those whom we criticize are
usually head and shoulders above us.
Jealousy, envy, maliee~snd criticism
generally consort In the $spe terri
tory. Judas was a first-class sasitlc.
Even the disciple assumed the role st
relentless criticism, but our Lord re-N
fused to condemn the poor unfortu-
nate woman. Real piety removes the
critic so far from home thar his yeEy
act becomes self-condemnatory. Elk.

TO HELP BUY FEEDER CATTLE

Clemson College, Aug. 17-lt has
been the plan Of the Extension Ser
vice in the past to aid the South
Carolina farmers in securing feeder
cattle, and a representative OF the
Extension Service experienced in
Judging and selecting cattle for feed
ing purposes has been sent ea:n year
to western North Carolina and east
Tennessee during late August or
early September to locate and buy
cattle for South Carolina fatmers.
It is the intention of the Extension
Service to continue this plan and
send a man this year if prospective
steer feeders Of the state so desire.
The expenses of this specialist are
borne by the men for whom he buys.
This bad been at a great saving to
the individual buyers for it really
means that the expenses of buying
for each man are very low, some
times running as low as 20 to %
cents per animal purchased.
Since there is going to be in South
Carolina quite a quantity Of feed this
year, and since feeder cattle appear
to be cheap, a number of requests
have already been received from far
mers asking that cattle be bought for
them this winter for feeding. The
animal husbandry division of the EX-
tension Service would be glad to hear
promptly from any farmers who de-
sire assistance In this respect.

in perfect condition, the old time box
ed pews are marked with the initials
of the pew owners, these were placed
by one of the patriotic societies and
the defendants of some Of the men
who used the pews. Not far from the
Church is the home of Nellie Custiss
given her by George Washington, and
a mile or. SO further YOU come to the
road to Mt. Vernon, but as twas get:
ting late we did not make the side
trip to Mt. Vernon but went on to
Washington.
We crossed the famous Potomac
River into a beautiful park and then
into the heart of the city, but my mar
ative will lose its directness as |
cannot tell where we went or how
we got there but for half hour we chas-
ed from street to avenue and from
avenue to boulevard vainly searching
for a hotel in the city Of hostelries,
but we were not in search for the
ones John D. or Pierpont hang out
and we finally found ourselves pulling
up in front of the st. James hotel,
somewhere in Pennsylvania Avenue,
and on finding that we could get ac-
comodations we unpacked hoping that
a nice room and comfortable quarters
awaited us. The first disagreeable eX-
perience we had was there, the hotel
seems to be controlled by negroes
who are not like Our own colored
people of the South, and | was told
with great pride by the bell boy that
we were in high society up there,
that Mr.. Tolbert of South Carolina
was stopping there. We did stay that
night in uncomfortable quarters but
the next day found that the Harring-
ton Hotel was very much more de-
sirable so we moved there for the
rest of the time we spent at the Capt.
tai.
We were sorry to part with Miss
Hughes who left us and went to her
home in Philadelphia.
The following day We commenced
our homeward journey which was
made successfully and with only few
difficulties. On the whole the trip
was most interesting and at Washing
ton, we met Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Page,
at Richmond, Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph
Johnson and at Richmond too | recog'
nized the genial Cop who kindly offer
ed to give me lodging in the city
station if | insisted on it by running
by his signs.

tressing however and that was the
terrible condition Of the crops. A

SILVERTON MINE
SHAFT is SUNK

Tonopah, Nevada, Nov. 15.-De-
velopments at the Tognoni property
known as the Treasure Hill Company,
at Silverton in the eastern end of Nye
County, are expected by n to
bring in a mine of some magnitude.
Leasers have been operating there for
the past six months and the company
proceeded with the sinking of a shaft
to set at rest reports that the rich
surface showing vas nothing more
than a blowout.
From the shaft a crosscut vas ex-
tended 100 feet to the west without
finding a ledge and further efforts In
that direction were abandoned. A
survey of the shaft revealed that the
ledge on its dip had been cut by the
shaft and 1t was evident that the ore
body was on the east side.
A crosscut picked up the vein in a
distance Of fifteen feet from the hole
with every satisfactory results. Three
feet of the oreshoot carried ninety
eve ounces of silver and the vein
matter encountered in driving to the
wall returned an average of $21 for
the distance of twelve feet.

the American proposals for reducing
and limiting naval ~armaments. Great
Britain, France, Italy and japan
pledged adherence and began discus
sion OF details. Japan wants more
than so per tent as compared with
the United States and Great Britain,
which the original proposal would al
low. France and Italy want to be
taken into consideration at the outset
and not wait for disposal of the Ques-
ton as 1t affects the big three. More
ove France and Italy feel they
should be permitted to increase rath-
or than decrease their sea forces to
bring them up to a figure comparable
with what is being allowed others.
Britain wants the replacement pro-
gram spread over a period OF years,
rather than taken up at the end of a
10-year holiday and wants also fur
Their reduction and the definite limi-
tation of submarines.
After a session of little more than
one hour, the conference, after hear
ing addresses of acceptance by Bal
four, for the British, Kato. for Japan /;
Schanzer, for Italy. and BRAND, for
France, adjourned to meet again on
the call of Secretary Hughes.
The new committee or naval arm
ament went into secret session. A
result of the latter meeting was a de-
cision to refer the matter of naval
limitation to a committee of admirals,
to be presided over by TheodoreR oos-
welt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
which will make an expert report on
the American proposals and also
make recommendations for amend
ments of details. The committee was
authorized to consider fixing the nav
al strengths of Italy and France al
the same time with the United States
Great Britain and Japan.
