FIFTEEN FROM THIS COUNTY
AT UNIVERSITY OF s c

Editor Chesterfield Advertiser:
On Friday, Nov. 4th, the boys of
Chesterfield county who are now at
tending the University of South
Carolina met at the University Chanel
and organized county club as has
heretofore, been done. Officers were
elected and time and place of meeting
was decided upon.
| Doubt if any person in the coun-
ty realizes how we'll in number the
county is represented at the Universe
ty. 1t stands about sixth on the list
of enrolment by counties. We have a
total of fifteen boys in our club. Ches-
terfeld having four representatives,
Cheraw seven and Ruby four. One
of the most popular Co-eds, Miss Es-
sic Elliott, of Conway was chosen
sponsor for the club.
This is the largest enrolment from
our county in several years, if not the
largest ever. We hope that Chester
field county will be nearer the head of
the list next year.

NEGRO FIRES BARN;
CAPTURED BY BLooDHoUNDs

On last Sunday night fire was dis.
covered under the big barn of Mr.
-. c. Rivers on the Harden Place
The alarm was given and the fire put
out before much damage was done
Fire was discovered by Ed. Streater,
one of Mr.. Rivers hands.
The fire presented so much appear
ance of incendiary origin that Mr..
Rivers reported the matter to Sheriff
Grant, who secured bloodhounds from
Raeford. N. c., which he had on the
scene in few hours.
The dogs took the scent at the
place of the fire and quickly led to the
door OF Horace Blakeney, on the
place of Mr.. Leo Davis, some six
miles away.
Horace, it is said, confessed his
guilt and was brought before Magis-
trate Teal, when he implicated three
Mcqueen negroes who, he said, per-
suaded him to set fire to the barn be-
cause Of grudge they held against
Mr. Rivers. Horace was bound over
to court.
The McQueens were brought in,
but relased on account of lack of suf-
ficient evidence to hold.
The value of the property thus
Jeopardized is placed by Mr.. Rivers
at about $S,000.00 on which he had
no insurance. Twenty mules were
stabbed in the barn, great quantities
of corn and fodder were stored there.
besides wagons and farm machinery.

very careful as to where it places the

by the advocates of government own

guers TO ascribe all the railroad ills
to the administration Of the roads
under private ownership.
Let not the public mind be led

the rail employees and the roads

government operation only by
promptly captivating 10 each sue

people paid the bill in huge deficits
