PRESBYTERIAN PIPE ORGAN BE.
ING CHANGED
Sunday School at Lyric.

The location of the pipe organ in
the Presbyterian Church is being
changed this week. Since the moving
of the choir loft from the side to the
rear of the pulpit the -organist has
found it hard to get the best results
as the choir could not always hear the
organ properly. At meeting Of the
Deacons this week it was decided to
have the organ moved so that the
choir and organist could be near each
other. An organ builder being on
hand, was given the contract to make
the change and went to work at once.
On account of pipes being down and
placed about in the church building it
will not be possible to hold services
there on Sunday.
The st. David's Episcopal Church
kindly offered the use Of their Church
building to the Presbyterians for next
Sunday morning and evening service,
so the church service will be held
there at Ills o'clock A. VI. and 7:30
o'clock p. NJ.
The adult department of the Sunday
School will hold classes at the Lyric
Theatre at 10 o'clock while the pri-
mary department will meet as usual
at the session house Of the Presbyter-
ian Church.

Supt. McCown of the Cheraw
schools who was here this week al
tending the meetings of the stare
Teachers Association announced
that thea Cheraw high school Is
planning for the baseball season
with vim and determination.
Naturally every team has its eye on
the championship in the preseason
dope but Cheraw is out after honors
this year and is determined to come
to Columbia in the late spring as one
of the contenders in the championship

the valuable experience they re-
ceived last season they are expected to
be nothing less than formidable con-
tenders for the big honors this season.
Behind the bat the team Is well pro-
tected, 1t appears, with "Toots' Cau-
sew. who has the distinction OF bearing
a mighty good baseball name, as well
as being a promising young player
holding the big mitt. Charlie l ide 8
being counted on as the first striLS
pitcher with one or two others VINO
should be able to fill in with good re-
suits. Hal Duvall, who Is playing his
third wear in the Cheraw Hi" is being
groomed this year for guardian of the
initial sack and he looks good. Dixon
Coyington at the keystone CUSHION
John F. Matheson at short and Marion
Evans at the hot corner look like the
composition of a real classy infield.
There is considerable competition
for the outfield berths but the toi-
lowing are likely to get the call:
Thomas Little in right, Leroy Gov
ington in center and James Ballard IN
left.
The season opens Tuesday WITH
Cheraw playing in Darlington The

Proposed Cottage Building and Loan
Association.

Many people who would have made
US good citizens have been forced to
locate their families in other towns
because of the fact they could not Sc
cure houses in Cheraw.
1t is proposed to organize Build
ing & Loan Association, the funds OF
which to be loaned ONLY for the pur-
pose OF assisting in building new
homes and no loan for greater
amount than $1500.00 to be made to
any one builder. Thus the wage earn
er or small business man owning his
own lot and perhaps having a few
hundred dollars may build a comfort
able home and pay for the same upon
very easy terms. There is no better
way for the wage Garner or salaried
man to acquire a home than through
the Building & Loan plan and there
is no better way for an investor to get
good interest on his money. Building
& Loan stock will pay s per cent and
as an investment it is absolutely
sound.
All people, white or colored, male
or female, interested in relieving the
housing condition in Cheraw and in
,rnat;no safe Investment and are
willing to help in organizing what will
be known as the Cottage Building &
Loan Association can confer with any
one of the undersigned.

DAIRY INSTITUTE FOR CHESTER
FIELD COUNTY

One of the most comprehensive edu-
cational and instructional campaigns
ever staged in Chesterfield County will
be conducted through series of meet
ings dealing with all phases Of the
dairy industry and It's timely impor-
tance in the cotton belt and particu-
larly following the infestation Of the
boil weevil to be held at the follow
ing points and dates: y
Jefferson, Tuesday, March 2Sth at
3 o'clock.
Pageland, Wednesday, March goth,
at o'clock.
Chesterfield, Thursday, March 3Oth
at II o'clock.
Cheraw, Thursday, March 30th, at
7:3O o'clock.
This campaign Is reaching Chester
field at a timely and opportune time
and in accordance with the history Of
the boil weevil and the dairy industry
as they both relate to the cotton belt
Immediately after the first infesta-
ton of the cotton pest in the western
cotton area the dairy cow took up her
important work, bringing a sens: Of
relief and continued prosperity u the
devasted areas and relieving the dis
tressed conditions resulting from cot
ton failure. Starting at that western
point she has followed the pest east
and now is within the borders of South
Carolina directly in the recent path
of the weevil. Indeed, the cotton belt
is not the only instance of her relief
work, so to speak. History tells Us
that she is following the wheat sec
ton In the same manner. New York,
long a one crops section-wheat-now
as resorted to the dairy cow and
has retrieved that great state to the
extent that 1t Is now the ranking
dairy state Of the Union. Visions
and Minnesota are two other great
states demonstrating the efficiency.
and consequent prosperity accompan-
ing the advent of the dairy cow and
she has held these states steady
through this serious depression period
through which we are now passing.
So does the history apply to the cot
ton belt. Texas, Alabama, Mississippi,
Georgia, Missouri and now South
Carolina are demonstrating In q small
and beginners way the same result.
At these meetings the farmers of
Chesterfield County will be informed
Of that progress in a straight forward
and practical way-citing instances
where the things mentioned are actu-
ally happening without question. Far
mers will be informed how the Dairy
COW returned a total Of S2,44O ,OOOOO
in one year to the farmers OF the Sell
ma District OF Alabama, and made
possible a $25O,OO0OO plant to handle
the product The boil weevil isn't the
serious situation in that section II
once was. Further it will be shown
how she is accomplishing wonderful
results in South Carolina and even IN
Chesterfield county probably with
your own neighbor.
Practical information within the
reach of every farmer who tills the
soil will be given, proving in detail
that the dairy cow is truly a laroor
of relief not a substitute for cotton
but a partner of cotton, enabling the
farmer to produce greater yields from
lesser acreage and at the same time'
have a steady income every day anu

They Ar Wearing -.
IN NEW YORK

The warm spring days have
brought out again the vivid hues In
tweeds which were more or less Jis-
carded for the winter.
Red seems to be as popular shade
as ever in the new millinery, both
for tn hat itself and for trimming,
with periwinkle.
Already the predicted vogue Of the
sand and beige shades Is felt, many
of the dinner gowns worn recently
being in these tones; and while gray
has been less talked Of, 1t still seems
to be much favored.
A sports costume seen the same
day had rose and gray checked
skirt, while the three-quarter length
coat, on long loose lines, was a
heather mixture in which these tones
predominant A rose hat Of woody
fiber embroidered in darker rose
tones, showing bird and vines on
the crown, was worn with this.
Black satin dress had petals on
skirt tapping to show the white fac
ing. Cape Of black was lined with
white and a small black candy cloth
hat trimmed at the sides with gar
denias.
Three piece frock Of navy and gray
showed a three-quarter cape. The
hat was gray, with an allover motif
of blue soutache in sections, the
whole finished off with gray fox
choker scarf.

The Framing Of the Constitution

The war being over, the states be-
gan to see the need Of q central gov
ernment. The Articles Of Confedera-
tion had no power to enforce the laws
congress made. They could not raise
revenue. The states had the power
to do as they wanted and there was
quarreling among them. There were
riots in the North among the soldiers,
who had not received their pay for
fighting during the war. Congress
could not borrow money in Europe,
because the European nation knew
the weakness of the Confederation.
Congress issued paper money, which
was hardly worth the paper it was
printed on. 1t took ten dollars of
this paper money to buy one pound
of sugar. Pirates preyed upon Ameri-
can commerce.
Virginia, seeing the need Of Il CEN
trail government, called a convention
to meet in Annapolis to discuss a
solution of the difficulties. But as on
ly five states were represented, sec
ond meeting was called to meet the
following spring In Philadelphia.
On May the 25, 1887 this convention
met. in independence Hall, Philadel-
phia, where the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was written. Washington
presided over this convention, and no
body of greater men ever met in any
country for any purpose. No conven-
tion could have discussed principal:
thoroughly, differed more widely, or
gotten better results out of such an
unpromising field. At moment
when all seemed lost, and some were
proposing compromises, Washington,
the leader Of the colonies during the
war and loved by the people as, no
other man, arose and spoke these sa-
cred words, ut is too probable that
no plan we propose will be adopted.
If, to please the people, we offer what
we ourselves dissaprove how can we
afterwards defend our works? Let
us raise a standard to which the wise
and the honest can repair: the event
Is in the hands Of God" This came
to pass. Benjamin Franklin, the Sol
omon Of America, who had helped 50
much to win the war by securing the
aid of France, and who had helped 10
get the colonies to stick togethe-, now
that the war was over supported the
constitution that the freedom might
last. Alexander Hamilton and ia
Madison, fourth president of the Unit
ed States, were the most famous po-
litical supporters Of the constitution.
The painting by Percy Moran, e.
titled, Long may our Land be Bright
with Freedoms Holy Light" SHOWS
the spirit of this convention. The pic
ture is Of Indepence Hall. In the cen
ter on table is the constitution. The
sunlight makes glory around it. The
men nearest the table look interested
and hopeful, while those farther hack
seem to be displeased with the pro
ceedings. The walls are covered with
the flags of the states represented by
the various delegates. With Washing
ton as a leader each mind and heart
is bent on forming a constitution
strong and wise enough to hold the
new born nation together.
