CHESTERFIELD'S NEW
PLANT DELIVERING ICE

Chesterfield's newest enterprise, an
ice plant, is now delivering the goods.
A truck load of very fine ice made in
Chesterfield, was seen on the streets
this week. <
The plant, installed by Mr.. w. d.
Craig at his power plant, is just get
ting in trim and will soon be deliver
ing regularly about three and one
half tons of ice per day, enough to
more than supply Chesterfield at the
present.
This plant is regular standard type.
and is operated by power generated
at Mr.. Craig's power house. The wat
er that goes into the ice is piped by
gravity from fine never-failing
spring. The water is pure and perfect
ly clear and a beautiful quality of
ice is assured.
For these reasons Chesterfield
should feel grateful, for with the adj
vent of warm weather the minds of
most of our citizens revert to last
summers uncertain ice supply at N
cents per pound.
This is not the first time Mr.. Craig
has been first in an important local
enterprise. He was first to give Ches-
terfield electric lights some years ago.

HOLD UP IN CHERAW

Marshall Godfrey, colored, who
conducts store in Cheraw near the
ice plant was held up his store by two
gentlemen of color, whose intent was
evidently ROBBERY. Godfrey suffered a
severe scalp wound and the loss of his
pistol but not his money.
Last Thursday night, about closing
time Godfrey says he was counting
his days receipts, when two. colored
strangers walked in and requested
some gingerale. The cases of bottled
soda water were only few feet
away but the proprietor did not care
to leave his money on the counter,
so he pointed to where the drinks
were and asked the customers to
serve themselves. They then changed
their minds and decided on something
within reach of the proprietor bent
under the counter. Godfrey's pistol
was lying near his hand as he leaned
over to get the article, and when he
raised up he was looking into the muz-
zie of his own weapon. He ducked and
as ne did so ball plowed furrow
across the top of his head.
Nothing daunted, he grappled with
his asasilant who finally got lose and
fled. His companion took to his heels
when Godfrey first showed fight.
Chief Jacobs says he was not mott
ned Immediately and by the time he
was on the trail the visitors had got

They are thought to be the same

ago, relieving their bretheren {. their
coin as opportunity afforded.

TALE OF HORRORS RELATED
BY SKIPPER FROM RUSSIA

Baltimore, April IA tale of
famine brutality and other horrors
was related by Capt. NJ. l.. Hart, of
the steamship, Deepwater, which
returned to this port today from
Odessa, Russia. The Deepwater
was one of the Russian relief steam
ers which left here in January.
Toward the end of February the
Deepwater reached Odessa and was
met at the dock by thousands of
children. Practically unclothed and
showing unmistakable evidences of
starvation, they swarmed about,
ready to beg for food as soon as un-
loading of the grain was begun, but
only to be driven away by Russian
soldiers Capt. Hart said those who re-
sisted were bayonetted. 1t took nine
days for sixty-five half-starved steve
dores to unload the ship by hand. Two
of their number were killed in quar-
rels among themsee,I%sss.
G1Pu. Hart refused to aIiJISw any of
his crew to go ashore, but one night
two of the men slipped away. They
spent night of horror before they
were able to work their way back on
board, according to the stories they
related on their return. They told of
seeing men stood up against wall to
be shot by firing squad; of seeing
men, women and children drop in the
streets exhausted from hunger, and as
a climax to their night of adventure,
they saw three trainloads of dead be-
ing shipped out of the once flourishing
city tu DC thrown into hole in the
outskirts.
Capt. Hart said the Russian people
had had their spirit broken by the
harsh and brutal methods of the Rus
sian soldiery and were offering prac-
tically no resistance. The people be-
lieve that the /. ". w. has conquered
the United States and that they are
sending the grain over to them. The
people as whole also believe that
Rilshevism has gripped the whole
world and that resistance is useless.

VICTORY WEEK IN SOUTH
CAROLINA MARKETING

Columbia, April 10.-This is ''Vic-
tory Week" in South Carolina and all
over the state intensive efforts are be-
ing made to secure contracts to the
South Carolina Cotton Growers CO.
operative Association. Over 4 1000 far
sociation have pledged to take the
field this week and endeavor to have
their brother farmers who have not
yet joined to enlist under the coopera-
tive banner. 1t is hoped to sign over
100000 bales this week.
Letters from prominent bankers all
over the state are strongly endorsing
the association and calling on all
bankers and business men to assist in
putting the campaign across were re-
ceived by the association last week.
81 am almost heartily in favor of
the cooperative marketing of cotton
for the reason that it helps all those
! living in the cotton belt" wrote C. G.
Rowland, president of the National
| Bank of South Carolina at Sumter.
81 sincerely hope the campaign to or
ganize the state may be decided sue
cess. If the cotton producer has to
buy from those who are organized
and sell to those who are organized
and he himself does not organize, who
is the loser? What effects the farmer
affects all of u.s."
| I &c hn
Planters Bank of Abbeville, came the
| following:
"The organization Of the cotton
growers cooperative association is the
greatest movement for the benefit of
the farmer ever undertaken in this
state. 1t will do more to prevent him
from holding cotton for lower price
than any plan that has ever been pre-
sented. Where it has been tried it is
a success and earnestly hope that
the organization will soon be COM
p)eted in this state. The proof of tie
pudding is in the eating. BY all
means let us have the proof"
| p. f. Clinkscales, president of the
Bank of Anderson wrote: 81 have
gone fully into the plan Of the cotton
cooperative marketing association and
most heartily approve of it. 1t appears
to be step in the right direction anG
in my opinion it will prove beneficial
both to the grower and buyer of thi,
: cotton. The assembling and classify

MANY GIRLS DISAPPEAR

The missing person bureau of New
York City has been developed to such
state of efficiency that it locates or
accounts for SO per cent. of the cases
reported to it. 1t has been estimated
that 10000 girls disappear annually
in the United States, and if only a
few of them are traced it is because
only few cities have missing per-
son bureau. In New York City from
March, 1922, to March, 1922, more
than 1900 persons dropped out of
sight.
From 10 to 20 is the foolish age,
officials say, and most of the missing
persons come between those years.
June is the popular month for run
ming away, and the chief reason is
trouble over school, with home fric-
tion as a close second.
Around circus and world series
times boys also vanish in dozens.
Between 20 and 80 years of age the
number of missing persons is notice.
ably less, and it decreases by de-
cades until the fewst, even fewer
than in the years between one and

years old. The man or youth is con
