Fifteen carloads Of Christmas trees
were shipped from the town of Bristol
last week. each car carrying 2,700 trees.
Perhaps these 10000 trees viii not be
missed. but if that number is taken every

GOSSIPERS BLAMED BY
FATHER OF MURDERED GIRL

Los Angeles, July 17.-While the

tigstion Monday of the death OF
pretty 20year-old Alberta Meadows
which resulted in a verdict of "pre-
meditated murder" against Mrs. Clara
Phillips, former actress, Fred Ire.
mamie, father of Mrs. Meadows, was
blaming damned gossipers" for the
hideous crime.
Mrs. Phillips is alleged to have
beaten Mrs. Meadows, a widow and a
bookkeeper in bank here, to death
with hammer last Wednesday after
accusing her of intimacy with her
husband.
"If it hadn't been for these damned
gossipers who spread the most vile
and untrue scandal about my daugh-
ter and Mr.. Phillips, Alberta would
be alive today" Tremaine repeated
again and again in the sheriffs' office
where he sat, waiting his turn to tes-
tify.
Mrs. Peggy Cafe was the principal
witness at the inquest. She once ap-
peared in vaudeville with Mrs. Phil
lips and has told the police she was an
eyewitness to the horrible death Of
Mrs. Meadows.
Interspersing words with frequent
sobs, Peggy told again how she had
been with Mrs. Phillips when the lat
ter persuaded her young girl victim
to drive them to lonely Montecito
Heights; there accused her of miscon-
duct with Phillips and finally, Mrs.
Cafe declared, beat her to death with
repeated blows of little hammer.
Mrs. Phillips version of the killing
remains unknown, except as to the
alleged confession to her husband,
which she later confessed to po-
lice. The woman seems utterly un-
moved by the affair, and is calm and
smiling. Her husband declares she is
insane.

WOMEN, OH WOMENl

Listen, women of South Carolina |!
Are we or are we not going to be
slackers when time for voting comes?
Are we as citizens of South Carolina
going to stay at home, and sew on
that new dress or do some other such
insignificant task when the time for
electing men and women to govern
this country comes? Must we women
of South Carolina win for our state
the name of Stacker by neglecting to
perform the duty of a good citizen?
How we all hate the name of Stacker.
Then are we going to be one?
1t is true that we women of South
Carolina did not clamor for Woman
Suffrage and our state was the last to
be given same. Although some of our
women wanted woman suffrage the
majority Of us do not like the idea of
voting and especially the women of
Chesterfield county. Neither does the
writer like the idea of women voting,
but women, we can no longer do just
the things that we like and because
we like to, but we must do the things
to help this state and country. Probab-
ly we women do no realize the exact
and critical condition Of our country,
If we did there would not be so many
OF our good women refusing to cast
their ballots. For since we women
have this right and privilege thrust
upon US, why not accept it and make
the very best of it that we possibly
can.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY
BUILDS A GOOD ROAD

Along with the complaint about
high taxes very frequent lament has
been that nobody knows where the
money goes. At last Chesterfield
County can see where the road money
has been going for the past two years.
Two years ago there was not a
good road in Chesterfield County.
Riding in the best of cars was little
short of torture on the best road we
had. And it took money to keep them
in that shape.
Today Chesterfield County has
about fifty-four miles of road as good
as any in the State of South Carolina.
With the exception of a very short
strip that will soon be completed,
there is fine gravel and clay high
way-a part of the Calhoun High
way-from Cheraw through Chester
field, Ruby, Mt. Croghan, Pageland
to Jefferson.
BY many this road is thought to
have no superiors. It has been con-
structed with economy. 1t is durable,
with low up-keep cost, and it is
certainly safe and joy to ride over.
In the building of this road, with
out the issue of bonds except for
the stretch through Mt. Croghan
township, the tax payers can well be-
lieve their money was well spent.
