GOVERNMENT WARNING
Letter From Department of
Commerce.

We publish the following letter at
the request of the Department of
Commerce which explains itself. The
Department warns the public that it
might enforce penalty.
eDear Sir:
The Censue Bureau is now in the
midst of an investigation to ascer-
tain the amount Of he encumbrances
on homes. This inquiry is made in
compliance with the requirements OF
the Act of Congress approved March
3, 1919. It Is desired to show :,
total number of homes in each city
that are rented, the number that are
rented, the number that are owned
free of mortgage, the number that
are subject to mortgage Indebtedness
and the amount of such indebtedness
Schedules of inquiry calling for this
information have been sent to all
of the persons reported in your ci
as owning homes subject to mortgage,
but unfortunately, a large number of
the citizens have not replied to the
official request. We imagine this in
difference on their part is due to the
fact that they do not appreciate the
importance of the statistics, and l
write to you in the hope that you will
give some publicity to the census in
curry so more prompt attention will
be given to our communications.
/ enclose a copy of the schedule
inquiry. Two requests have already
been sent to your citizens. A third
request is now about to be mailed,
The law providing for this inquiry
contains a penalty for refusal to fur
nish the information but it has not
been our practice to enforce this
penalty and we hope it will not be
necessary to depart from it. ! be-
lieve that your citizens will give more
prompt attention to the Enquiry II
they are assured that their replies
will be treated as strictly confiden-
tial and the figures used only for the
com mpilation of totals similar to those
contained in the enclosed statement
for the District of Columbia.
This is very important inquiry.
The statistics will go far toward show
ing actual conditions that are exist
ing in the different sections of the
country, and / trust that 1t will be
convenient for your paper to give
publicity to the matter. II you de
sire any additional information or
additional copies of the report Eor the
District of Columbia, to be used as
samples, we shall be glad to hear
from you.
Very truly yours,
w. NJ. STEWART,
Director.

Cheraw to Hold Big Dollar Bargain Day Tuesday, August End
Rev. A. 8. Thomas to leave Cheraw.

Although hoping to the contrary,
Cheraw has felt for two weeks that
we were to lose Rev. A. S. Thomas,
rector of st. David's Episcopal church.
Since a, call came from st. Michael
church in Charleston, much larger
field than the Cheraw parish, the
members OF his church here regret
fully realized that his decision would
be to go where his work would count
the most in the great service in which
he Is enlisted. So that, his announc-
ment Of his resignation as rector Of
st. David's church, from his pulpit on
Sunday morning, while not surprise,
was sorrowfully received by the en-
tire community. Mr.. Thomas cam
to /Cheraw about ten years ago
and has won the admiration and love
OF the congregations Of all our
churches by his spirit Of co-opera-
tion and his efforts to bring the
churches in closer relationship with
each other. In the giving up of Mr..
Thomas to Charleston our town feels
keenly the loss but will rejoice in the
greater service being rendered human
ity by reason of. our sacrifice. Mr..
Thomas will move to Charleston about
October 1st.

What's in a Namel

Up to few years ago Cheraw,
South Carolina, was the only rail-
road station in America by the name
Of Cheraw, but recently the railroad
guides showed that there is Che
raw in Mississippi, another in Arkan-
sas and still another in Colorado.
One of our citizens who has some
curiosity wrote to the passenger
agents Of the railroads on which these
three Cheraws are located ask
ing If he could tell how these stations
received their names.
The Passenger Agent of the New
Orleans and Great Northern r. r.
wrote that Cheraw Mississippi was
named CHERAW by its leading citi-
zen and merchant, Mr.. j., A. Mcleod,
who used to live In Cheraw, South
Carolina. We have been unable to
find any one who remembers Mr.
Mcleod, he probably left here many
years ago.
The Passenger Agent Of the. Frisco
railroad replied that Cheraw Ark,
was named by w. r. Powe, when
Gen. Freight Agent of the, Frisco in
honor of his old home CherawssS. c.
OF course all of us know Mr.. w Rob
bins Powe, who has a brother and
sisters now living here. &f
The Agents of Santa Fe wrote that
Cheraw, Colo, was named by Mr..
Malyne Wiley, a prominent citizen
and president of the Colorado Sugar
Beet Co., in honor of his old home,
Cheraw, S. C. Many Of our older
residents remember Mr.. Wiley when 4
he lived in Cheraw. ~ ttg
The latest railroad guides omit the
name of Cheraw Ark, as the static
which was. a very small one has been
abolished EteH< :
So it appears that this old town
Is the mother Of the other three.
