GOVERNMENT BILL IS FILED
Alien Property Custodian Miller Asks
Writ to Force His Mother to Give

Washington, Sept. 13.-The govern

against Mrs. Emma c. Bergdoll, moth
er Of Grover G. Bergdoll, notorious
Philadelphia draft evader, who is now
a refugee in Germany.
Action Made Necessary.
Demand was made on Mrs. Bergdoll
last May for delivery of all property
belonging to her son or in which he
had any interest, Mr.. Miller said, but
despite repeated extensions Of time al
lowed Mrs. Bergdoll, the property had
not been turned over to the govern
ment. This, he added, made it neces-
sary to take the action planned.
AT the time Of seizure" said Mr..
Miller Mrs. Bergdoll had not been
sentenced as a result Of her trial for
aiding and abetting the escape of her
son, and for conspiracy to evade the
draft.
She was also under examination by
the special committee of congress
which has since made its report, and
it was felt by the custodian's office
that, under these circumstances, they
should he lenient at that time in insist
ing upon immediate compliance by
Mrs Bergdoll with the demands of the
government.
under the terms of the peace res

July 2, all demands made before that
date by the alien property custodian

"It IS our intention to insist on Mrs.
Bergdoll's compliance with the terms

extent of the law in causing her to
do So If it becomes necessary. The

equally curious. Nobody seemed to

CHESTERFIELD AGAIN
HAS CLOSE CALL

Last Friday night between 10 and
II o'clock fire was discovered in the
rear of the Adams Cash Market on
Main street.
Prompt action saved the town of
Chesterfield another conAagrktion.
Mr.. c. s. Britton, returning home
from the Strand Theatre noticed a
light fiickering in the rear of the mar
ket, and crossing the street decided
there was fire behind the ibig re-
frgerator. Mr.. H. A. McRae ap-
peared on the scene about this time
and together they tore Though a
screen window in the rear and found
an incipient, though lusty blaze. 9th
ers quickly responded to tho. cry of
fire and the blaze was soon extin-
guished.
Had the discovery been delayed a
few minutes that whole ..de Of Main
street would again have been at the
mercy of the flames. And flames have
not been particularly merciiul to
Chesterfield in the past.

RATS LINE NEST
WITH PAPER MONEY

Anderson, Aug. 12.-With bag
full of money, w. D. Perry came to
a local bank today to see if any
thing could be done with il. While
it was real money it was in such a di-
lapidated condition that only a few
of the bills could be determined OF
what denomination they were. Mr..
Perry said he and his son had been
engaged to recover house on the
Greenville road for family by the
name of Bradley. The boy was on
top of the house tearing the old
boards away when he heard an ex-
clamation that he had found some
money. Tearing the board away
there was whole rats nest full of
currency, some 81 bills, So bills and
even $40 bills being recognizable.
Mr.. Perry reported the matter to
the family but they could give no
explanation of how the rats got the
bills, or who from, as they had not
missed any money. He said that
the only way he could account for
it was that small store was run
near the house and that the owner
took the money to the house and
the rats had taken one bill at time,
SO it wasn't missed, and lined their
nest with it. One bill was dated
1907. Other dates were obscured by
the torn condition of the bills.
There was skeleton of rat in
the pile of torn up bills. The torn
up money will be sent to the mint
and it may be redeemed. There seem
ed to be between $50 and $40 by the
amount of denominations that could
be deciphered.

THE COST OF A BOY

A man in Chicago announces that
it costs $4,000 to raise boy to the
age of twelve years. How he arrives
at his figures we are not told, but the
average father is not likely to protest
that this estimate is too high.
Using these figures, a class of ten
boys in Sunday School represents an
investment of $4,000.
A scout troop of thirty stands for
an outlay of $165,0OO.
A schooiroom of boys represents
an investment of close to quarter of
a million.
Are the community and the church
reaping to the best of their ability
on the investment in boyhood? The
church utilizes that investment one
Or two hours per week. The scout
troop works it trifle more than
this; the school considerably more,
and yet not to the perfection of 100
per cent.
And what of the boy on the street,
the boy at work when he ought to
be in school or the urchin full of
craftiness and guile?
Every boy represents an invest
ment by society. When our criminal
records reveal the high peak of crime
as coming at the age of seventeen we
have some idea of the enormous
vast of that costly investment made
before and up to the age of twelve.

SIGNS TO SELL

Columbia, S. c., Aug, 15.-Former
Governor Richard L. Manning has
attached his signature to the cotton

will sell all of the cotton that he grows
on his Sumter county plan, alton
through the South Carolina Cotton
Association.
In sending Harry G. Hammer,

loss to cotton growers.
Are we willing to lose money by
this unbusinesslike and unnecessary
waste year after year?
Are we incapable of ADOPTING
and applying businesslike methods
in marketing cotton?
snail we continue to produce and
show ourselves incapable of profitab-
~ marketing what we produce?
The proposed plan has been tried
and tested. 1t has been examined and
@crutinized by the best legal and busi-
ness minds and has been approved
and endorsed by them.
"A new era of prosperity opens
for the South:
First, if we adopt the cooperative
marketing plan and increase our
warehouse capacity to meet these re-
quirements:
Second, to regulate the produc-
ton of cotton to meet world con-
sumption and raise at home our food
supplies.
Third, to lend every effort to in
creased consumption of cotton and
export every bale that is not needed
for American consumption.
1T is MY earnest hope that We may
be able to successfully put in opera
tion this plan"

SUCCESSFUL MEETING
COMES TO CLOSE

A series of evangelistic meetings
for the Florence district of the
South Carolina Conference have
been carried on for the past several
months. The fourth of these groups
was held in the Chesterfield and East
Chesterfield charges, closing Sunday
night. Seven preachers were engaged
in the work. Morning services were
conducted in six adjoining churches
AT these churches work was done by
the Revs. G. A. Teaseley, of Lamar :;
G. H. Kirby, of Cheraw; w. O. Hen
derson, of Bishopville; S. d. Bailey,
OF Blenheim; l.. E. Peeler, of Ches-
terfield and C. P. Chewning, of
Chesterfield. The night services were
held at the district tent, which was
located here. The people of the coun-
ty crowded the tent and oftentimes
there have been as many people sit
ting on the grass outside as on the
inside.
The Sunday night congregation
was estimated at 1000 people. The
Rev. G. T. Harmon, of Bishopville
conducted the services at the tent. A
choir of fifty voices, assisted by piano
and violin, led the singing of the
meeting.
One hundred and twenty-nine peo-
pie have been converted and nuhlicly
confessed Christ.

CREENVILLE TO HAVE
CENTRAL COTTON MARKET

A big forward step has been taken
by the farmers and business men of
Greenville county in the matter of
better facilities for marketing cotton
The plan is to organize central cot
ton market for Greenville county in
the city of Greenville and to provide
cRsser and weigher, SO that cottv tvn
will be graded without cost to the in
dividual farmer. It is further planned
20 build a cotton shed and office for
the cotton classer's use to allow the
farmers to leave their cotton on the
platform for 10 days with free in
surance, and to allow farmers to pool
their cotton by grades for sale in
larger lots.
This good work has grown out of
the Greenville County Agricultural
Council, organized recently to pro-
mote closer relationship between the
business men and the farmers. The
central cotton market idea was pro-
pesed at the second meeting of this
agricultural council held in Green
vile recently, at which the secretary
of the Greenyille Chamber of Com
merce proposed that his organization
raise the funds to pay the classer's
salary, construct the necessary build
ings and pay other needed expenses.
For this purpose the business men
have pledged themselves to raise
$1,000 and the farmers have pledg-
ed to furnish labor for the erection
of the buildings. The desire and the
object are to make Greenville the
cotton market that it should be
