Then the airship appeared to
break in two and burst into flames,
the crowds beneath meanwhile, run

ANOTHER DOLLAR BAR
GAIN DAY COMING

Since the Dollar Bargain Day held
in Cheraw on August End was such a
success from the standpoint OF the
majority of the merchants offering
bargains and the custoemrs benefited
by it, many of our merchants are anx-
ious to have a bigger and better one
at an early date. They say their GUS
toners were so well pleased with the
idea and that the movement is pull
ing together for Cheraw so they are
willing to sacrifice profits that day for
the good of the town, their customers
and the advertisement of their busi-
ness. We hope that all our merchants
will come in on this one which we will
call COMMUNITY DOLLAR DAY to
be held early in September.
Watch for announcement Of the date
and then for the advertisements of the
merchants.

CHRONICLE MAN LOYAL.

In the newspaper business there are
times when reporters are "put to it.
to find any thing of interest to write
about and this is especially true Of
towns which can support only week
lies. Realizing our need for copy
this week Mr.. E. Gilbert Smith, Of the
Chronicles force proved his loyalty
by breaking into the Post Office. We
don't mean he broke into the place
where the mail is kept but into the
lobby whose doors stand open at all
hours and thus gave us the material
for this story.
1t seems that about $50 o'clock
Tuesday night when several automo-
biles were in front of the Lyric thea
tire headed toward the Post Office cast
ing their binding lights in that direc-
ton. Mr.. Smith got out of a car to
20 into the Post Office. Thinking he
was directly in front Of the door, he
started to go in, looking toward the
theatre and the binding lights.
1T was not until he had struck the
big plate glass, next to the door, that
he realized he had missed the opening
and was being cut and bruised by fall
ing glass. Mr.. Smith sustained only
a slight cut on the head and bruises
on his leg and arm esctping
what might easily have been serious
injury. -.--....., 80. -s..-..... . ...',
Due to the unusual circumstances
that led to the accident we feel sure
Mr.. Smith will pardon our mention
ing the fact that he was miseraely
sober.

entire school and illustrated read
ings. ALI of which were given with

given to those in charge of the pro-
gram or the children for doing their
part beautifully.

tendant of the Sunday school and
Mrs. B. Finlayson was chairman OF

How will the Association handle
crop mortgages? A. If the crop !
mortgaged before the member joins,
he cannot include the mortgaged cot.
ton in the amount to be marke
through the association without the
consent of the mortgage, who is the
man who holds the mortgage. A reg
ular legal form for such consent will
be furnished by the Association. II
the grower joins before the crop mort
gage is made, the mortgage will be
handled under a blanket agreement
between the Association and the banks
and other money lenders, so that when
the cotton is marketed through the
Association, all advances and other
payments, so long as necessary, Will
be made through the mortgage, and
the division of the money wiz be by
agreement between the MORTGAGE and
the member just as is now done when
mortgaged cotton is sold. Legal forms
for the blanket agreement between
the Association and the mortgagee
will be prepared by the Agricultural
Committee of the South Carolina Bank
er's Association and may be had by
writing to the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative Association, Co.

Where will the Association sell cot

eide, either in this country or abroad
and as directly to spinners as posi-
BILE.
Can a tenant farmer join when his
landlord does not? A. Yes. If the
landlord is not a member the tenant
must buy the landlords share and sell
all through the Association, or he must
arrange with the landlord to divide
: the cotton in the bale. If the landlord
Joins and the tenant does not, the re-
, verse rule will apply. 1t is much de-
sired that both landlord and tenant
shall join.

Shall Cheraw Have q Choral Society

This is a question that can be ans.
wered by music-lovers, who express
their love of the art in song. Not
only those with big voices, but all
who sing and love to sing.
A number Of interested people have
wondered why Cheraw did not pos
sess musical club or soeiety,as SO
many towns have, and the question
has been repeatedly asked why we
do not organize the singers into a
regular, systematic, working society.
So we are going to attempt this
very thing, and on Tuesday afternoon
Of next week, Aug. 10Th, we should
like to meet, at the Town Hall, at -:
80 all persons from IA years up who
sing, and who care to talk over this
matter, considering it from a busi-
ness standpoint as well as a bene-
fetal and pleasurable one.
The idea is to join the Society for
a term Of four months, so as to in
clude Thanksgiving and Christmas
music. and to begin cantata practice
in connection with simple part songs,
which could be used for secular or
religious occasions, wherever needed.
Feeling sure that members of all
the church choirs will enter into this
movement-in fact number have al
ready expressed themselves as very
anxious for it-this notice Is for out
siders as we'll. Those who have not
Joined any choirs, but have good vol
ces.
We are especially anxious for the
young ladies and young men, girls
and boys to take an interest in this
undertaking, and believe they would
derive much pleasure and some bene-
fit from3it.
All who heard the Pennant Operetta
several years ago, given in the Town
HILL, and 'The; Wonderful Light,
Christmas Cantata, sung by members
Of all the choirs, in the Presbyterian
church year before last, will agree
that Cheraw has enough musical ia
lent to form a good Choral society;
If sufficient number. of music low
ers enter into an agreement to work
together for this uplifting purpose.
Don't forget the place Of meeting,

CAROLINA FOOTBALL TO BE
FREE OF INJURIES

Columbia, S. c., August 1l.-That
Sol Metzger, Carolina's football coach,
is determined to leave no stone un-
turned to make the coming football
season a success at the University Is
clearly proven by his recent trip to
Columbia from his home in Pennsyl-
vania for the purpose Of comforting
with the Gamecock authorities in re-
gard to many matters that could well
have been handled upon his return
here early in September, were Metz
ger not wide awake.
Metzger was particularly pleased
with the accounts given him about
the new men who will be on the Caro-
lima squad this fall. He and "Wop'
MCGOWAN. his new line coach, had a
long conference over their plans for
the fall and they have arrived at a
definite understanding as to the entire
development of the squad. Some OF
the players Of last season who will
be in Columbia this fall are going to
be called upon to assist these two Goa
ches in grooming the new men in the
system of play Carolina has now de-
finitely adopted.
Metzger is particularly anxious that
the Freshman be trained in the fun
damentals Of his system by some of
the graduates Of last year in order to
permit MCGOWAN and himself to de-
vote their full time to rounding a
team in shape as early as possible.
In this way several weeks can be
saved in the development Of the team.
That no candidate for the squad can
say he has not been given every OPP
portunity to make good is foregone
conclusion. Every fellow who reports
will be moved up to the testing
grounds as quickly as he is pronounc
ed ready by the assistants to Metzger
and MCGOWAN. Metzger is a stckler
for having a man not only in shape to
stand his first scrimmage but also to
have him skilled in such matters as
the right way to tackle, interfere and
charge. This avoids many injuries
and permits of rapid development. Tha
his plan worked better than ever be-
fore any other plan did at Carolina
was clearly proven last season when
he lost no varsity men from injuries
for his big games.
According to Metzger men who are
we'll trained and coached are rarely
hurt in football. He claims to have
worked out a system Of fundamentals
that really prevent injuries and his
record not only at Carolina, but at
Pennsylvania, Washington and Jeffer-
son and West Virginia back up his
word.

Snake Occupies Bedroom.

if someone was breaking in, came from
the bedroom upstairs. Mr.. Geo. Hart
zell investigated and found that big
black snake had gotten into the room
and was on the wash stand pushing
off soap dishes, glasses, etc. Upon the
arrival of Mr.. Hartzell the snake
quickly dropped to the floor and coil
ed but was quickly checked in his wild
career by a pistol ball fired by Mr..
Hartzell. The snake measured about
