CORN NOT GOOD
ASFUEL WEIGH
TEST INDICATES
IFS Cheaper TO Burn Coal, Rock
Islander Says Experiment
Proves to Him.

It's cheaper to burn coal than
corn as a fuel, Frank P. WEIGH,
president of the Illinois Oil COM
pany, believes.
MI. WEIGH was skeptical about
the theory that corn is better
fuel than coal. 1t was advanced
by many farmers of Illinois, Iowa
and Nebraska, and Mr.. WEIGH was
determined to make a test of his
own to verify the statement. The
test was made several days this
week in the furnace of Mr. Welch's
home at ST. Twenty-third street.
The experiment. proved this:
corn gives a great volume of heat
when burnett, but is consumed so
fast that it is a greater expense
than coal. A more minute test of
corn as a fuel will be made by
Mr. WEIGH at the laboratory of the
Illinois Oil company. At that time
the exact figures on the volume of
heat given by both the Germ and
coal will be ascertained and a'more
detailed report made.
Mr.. WEIGH purchased enough
corn to make the experiment worth
while. The grain sells at $14 for
40 bushels, while a good coal is
1926 for ton. I
This conclusion l have come TO, -
Mr.. WEIGH said, lit may be cheaper
for farmers in localities where coal
is extremely high and where the
farmer receives SO little for his
corn that it does not pay to remove
it from the fields. But in a city,
where corn must be brought to the
market. and thus Increased in price,
and where coal is not too exorbi-
tant, it is cheaper to burn coal"

road asks Cheraw to let them hold a
Peach Day here some time in October
for the purpose of bringing into our
midst an industry that If successiui
would revolutionize business in TINS

The Peach Day would be held here
for the benefit of those living in the
territory reaching from Rlaney TO
Hamlet, of course including all OF
Chesterfield county and would be at
tended by W. W. Long and A. E. schil-
letter of Clemson, who will bring with
them Government iexperts and the
Seaboard Industrial Agent will bring
with him Mr.. R. E. Burmkan wei.
known Peach expert Of Georgia. This
meeting would guarantee crowd for
Cheraw for a day and would do untold
good toward promoting the Peach In

get enthusiastic support in this under

Hard Surfaced Roads.

We realize that the idea OF spending
q large sum of money at this time LOT
anything is not apt to be enthusiasm
cally received by the public as only
necessities are being bought by the
majority of our people. But, now that
roads are classed. by almost every
body. as a necessity is is only a ques-
ton of what kind of roads must we
buy in these strenuous times. The
state of S. C. is too great a state n
nancially to quibble about price II DA
having more she will economic in the
long run. The question then, is which,
whether the dirt or the hard surfaced
road Is the cheaper and more salts
factory. Since the time our forefath
ers settled in S. c. we have been build
ing dirt roads. Millions OF dollars
have been hauled, dumped and scraped
into the roads of this state over pc
riod OF about two hundred years and
today we realize we have practicaily
nothing in the way of good roads ex-
cept some recently built which won't
last long if money is not continuous
ly spent on them. Why not issue
Bonds for long period of time, build
permanent hard surfaced roads that
will serve the next generation, as well
as our own and thereby give our chill
dren full value for the part OF tne
debt they will inherit. A one cent
tax on gasoline would pay the inter-
est on the bonds and the automobile
owners would save money because OF
less wear and tear on their cars and
the big saving in tires.
We would like to hear from Ches-
terfield county on the subject espe-
cially those il authority.

Grown Folk and Sunday School.

The time when men and women
have gotten too old to go to Sunday
school is no more. Men and womer
today realize that they can enjoy and
be greatly benefited by attending sun
day school and there are more Grown
ups" attending today than ever be-
fore. People have begun to realize
that in the Sunday school they can
do more real christian work than in
any other tranch of the church and
that it trains them to take their places
as church workers. The officers and
teachers of a Sunday school are not
paid workers so why should anyone
feel that they have right to leave
this their important duty to some one
not paid by them. You owe to your
children, your country and yourself
a debt that can be paid only by your
attending Sunday school You owe
your children the example you will
set by being present at the Sunday
school service. They look to you for
guidance and you can best do this by
leading them, not sending them.
You owe your country the fostering
of an institution that is working to
rear good citizens and that is by it's
existence holding in bounds lawless-
ness and immortality. You can best d.
rect your business by being at that
place of business at business hours ana
the same thing applies to the Sunday
school. If you would help you must
be there during its business hours.
You owe yourself every opportunity
to prepare for future and to do the
work God means every mortal shoulo

(An Inquiries Promptly Answered

The cotton crop continues to dete;;

will fall far short of the Govern

time is 81 per cent of normal, indi.
eating a yield of 100000 bales, OF
nearly 100000 bales less than the

there is good chance for these
