NEED OF TOWN"
D. A. R." LETTER
Substitute

1t was land isl the intention of our
local D. A. R to publish a letter each
week calling attention to "a Need of
Our Town"
The letter of this week was to bring
realization of conditions at our rail-
road station. But the proposed writer
when getting necessary information
met such prompt. gracious offers ,
help toward rernedying this special
need, that it is in fair way to dis
appear altogether.
Under the direction Of the Civic
League committee for Improvement Of
the station, the whole section force
of FIVE or six men will work during
Saturday afternoon next, from
o'clock to 4:30. And it is hoped all
good citizens wiz lend aid, especially
in supplying roots OF Amour's PriTet
Hedge (evergreen) and of Crepe Myr-
tie.
The committee will no doubt, gladly
enumerate other ways in which to
prove our public spirit and reduce
the needs of our town.

THE FULLNESS OF DAY

When every farmer in the south
shall eat bread from his own fields
and meat from his own pastures, and
disturbed by no creditor and enslav-
ed by no debt, shall sit amid his teem-
ing gardens, and orchards, and vine
yards, and dairies, and barnyards,
pitching his crops in his own wisdom
and growing them in independence,
making cotton his clean surplus, and
selling it in his own time, and in his
chosen market, and not a master'f
bidding-getting his pay in cash and
not in a receipted mortgage that dis
charges his debt but does not restore
his freedom-then shall be the break
ing of the fullness OF our day

The Regent, Mrs. c. l.. Prince, pre-
sided. The subject of study was "Our
County" and the Roll Call was an
swered with names of county officials
The following were elected alter
mates to the Regent, Mrs. Prince, to
the National Convention in Washing
on in April: Mrs. E. w. Duvall, Mrs.
]. A. Spruill, Mrs. W. F. Stevenson,

from IAN elevated tank" Let me
state facts that Mr.. Smith does not
know If there were only ten gallons
of water in the tank, how much force
would that deliver at Mr.. Hickson's
corner, and how much fire would it
put out? We are assured that "the
tank was two-thirds full and the
pump in operation" That may be
true, but that does not affect my
contention. If the tank had been en-
tirely full and the pump running it
would have been all the same. We are
also told that the pressure is so
pounds to the square inch. That may
also be true. and still mean nothing
in this contention. Every school boy

that there is a tremendous friction
and that the farther the hydrant is

Hydraulics is that there is in body
Of water under pressure both theo-
retical and an actual flow. The actu-
al flow is only about two-thirds Of the
theoretical flow. The actual flow les
sens in force the farther you go from
the source of supply, so that property
in the outskirts of town has little or
no protection from fire, while that in
the center of town has all protection
necessary. If one has to wake up,
dress, and 90 a mile and put on arti-
fetal pressure before a fire can be
put out, there is little hope for all
outlying property in case of fire. But
But that is not Mr.. Smiths fault.
Mr.. Smith calls my letter "prittle-

When Mr. Smith looked for me the
Friday after my letter appeared, he
"prattled" about libel and was will

the latter's home to the Cheraw Drug

IN NEW YORK

IN NEW 1Ohh
Spring millinery Is making Its ap-
pearance everywhere In much larger
groups for both afternoon and even
ing wear.
Bright colors seem to be much
more favored in the first selection
than black or suit shades, though
the hair hats worn are usually In
black.
The fabric hats In satin, cire and,
above all, taffeta, are more in evi-
dence at the muIsent than straw;
however the latter is not infrequent-
ly seen.
Bright red Is much seen in the ad-
vance millinery worn, both in os-
trich trimmed styles and In the new
straws. Periwinkle blue is a con-
spiciuous favorite and orchid shades
come in for similar choice.
The early small hat made entirely
of taffet goes frequently untrimmed
except for embroidery in self color.
A few spring suits made their ap-
pearance at the Dog Show in the
light tan or wood shades.
A hat Of printed Paisley design was
constructed on sports lines with
mitred crown and untrimmed.
At the theatre one notes the grow
ing preference for the extreme back
decolletage, not the entire bodice cut
away at the back such as Is featured
for stage wear but long and mar
row square cut, usually banded with
some brilliant effect of spangles,
crystal beading of metal embroidery.
Many feather headdresses were
worn at recent ball, dmst OF them
posed rather low at the back. with
out any attempt at symetrv.
The audiences at the opera on
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
were. for the most part, attired In
all black or all white. It may be
said that on Wednesday evening, the
majority Of the women in the boxes
wore black velvet, while on Thurs
day, there was more white worn.
Wednesday, smart woman who is
a regular attednant, wore a lovely
gown Of white brocade, cut with a
square decolletage, and shoulder
straps of pearls. Her hair was
dressed high, and was held with q
wreath of white and silver leaves.
A fan Of soft uncurled ostrich was in
pearly white with sticks of dark
tortoise shell.
Some Of the younger girls present
wore interesting coiffure arrange
ments, one being of dull silver leaves,
placed just at the temples on both
sides in rather classic fashion. The
wearer of this headdress was attired
in a sapphire tlue velvet made IN
basque style and trimmed with
garland of dull silver leaves.
A stirklingly gowned woman wore
red velvet, cut in a narrow square
decolletage back and front, and her
evening coat which was trimmed
with velvet flowers matched the tone
OF her gown.
An interesting costume was one OF
ruby velvet, cut in low square
decolletage, with many diamo ,ls as
ornaments. There was q diamond
filet in the wearer's black hair, and
a regal note to the costume was fur
nished in a stole of ermine about the
shoulders.

A ninety-year-Old bridegroom started
his sixth honeymoon walking part
way from Winona, Tenn, to Cincin-
natl, Ohio, with his twenty-six-year-old
bride, as an example for other young
married couples. Ninety is a lot
more sensible age to get married at
than nineteen, like a lot of them young
ships do" he said. when a man Is
ninety he has good sense, so he don't
make mistakes. l started marryin'
when / was twenty-three. I'm sorta
getting used to it by now. When you
haven't had more than one wife you
don't know anything" Mary Jane,
his wife. said it was love at first sight.
He met and married me in an hour"
she said. "He wanted some one to do
housework and l said l would take
the job. Then he asked me If l
wouldn't marry him."

Niuerian Products.

A Nigerian trade review shows that
goatskins used in making the finest
boots, go mainly to the American
market. Palm kernels from the south,
especially Y~Orubaland, are extricated
from the shells by hand. Before the
wal most Of the kernels went to Ger
many, whence in consequence Great
Britain had to import a large proper
ton of the oil required for making
margarine. The export of palm kerr
nels is we 100000 tons, while that
Of palm oil is over 100000 tons. The
oil supplies work for men, as the ker-
nelS for women. 1t enters into the
manufacture of soap and candles. The
value of the tin ore production is be-
tween one and two millions sterling.
The distance of the tin fields from the
coast is a handicap to the trade. Rail-
way expansion has made things easier,
the light railway to Bakura, built for
the purpose, having proved most SER
viceable.
