A High Class Entertainment.

Cheraw was singularly fortunate in
having the privilege of hearing the
Recital given on Tuesday evening,
April 18th, by Miss Evelyn Smith, ably
assisted by Miss Charlotte Mathew
son and Mr.. R. l.. Sumwalt.
To say that Miss Smith measured
up. to the expectations of her friends;
scarcely expresses il, tho that alone
would be fine tribute to the young
musician, who seemed even to sur
pass her usual exquisite rendering OF
selections from we'll known compos-
ers Of this and other periods. Her
brilliant technical proficiency and
wonderful delicacy of touch, combin-
ed with grace of manner and unusual
poise, made the occasion a real plea
sure from start to finish. .. Her rare
mental training was displayed in the
playing of each selection without the
use of notes-including the three full
movements of the Schumann Sonata
which was a feat in itself
Miss Mathewson, young singer of
pleasing personality, had a clear,
flexible voice whose bird-like quality
of trilling sweetness, especially or
the higher notes, captivated her hear
ers at once, and held them through
out the entire programme. Her
breath control was truly remarkable
in the redition of many beautiful
songs which were greatly enjoyed!
Mr.. Sumwalt, like Miss Smith, never
disappoints. Each time one hears
him, he strengthens his reputation as
a violinist by his sure technique and
marvelously clear and beautiful tone.
surprising most of the profes sionals
in our Chatauqua and Lyceum cours-
es His courteous generosity in re-
spending to the various demands
made upon his splendid talent has
endeared him to Cheraw audiences
who always greet him with pleasure
and enthusiasm.
The general feeling in regard to the
evenings entertainment might be eX
pressed in the words of the gentle
man who pronounced it genuinely
high class as well as first class in
every respect"

Chief Jacobs Captures Auto "Snit.
cher" and Car.

Quite a little interest has been TAX
en- here in the capture of an automo-
bile "snitcher" and a big Packard
car "cabbaged" by him from a Mr..
O'Hara at Ocala, Fla, on last Mon
day.
Chief Jacobs followed a hunch that
all was not right about the big Pack
ard driven by rather delapidated
looking individual with two negroes
riding with him as passengers. He
stopped the party on the street and
after questioning them decided to lock
them up. With some help from others
he found out by wire that the car
was stolen from near Ocala, Fla, and
that $4,000 reward was offered.
The owners wired to hold car and
man until their arrival
Tuesday, Chief Jacobs liberated the
negroes, whom he found knew moth
ing of the cars being stolen and were
only riding to Detroit from Savannah
where the man with the car met
them and offered them the ride if
they would pay for. some gasoline.
. On Wednesday the "snitcher", who
calls himself Arthur Stonebank and
says his home is in Wilmington, Del,
gave the town another sensation when
he broke Jail" by tearing up part Of
the flooring of our calaboose. He
made, fatal error" however by
waving goodbye to some men work
ing nearby who reported his escape
to the police. Chief Jacobs got on
his trail and in a very short time
overlook the escaped "snitcher" near
the John HiAson place across the
river. He brought him back to Che
raw and later took him to the Jail in
Chesterfield for safe keeping.
The men from Florida are expected
here this morning.

She was never more beautiful than
in her going-away-go gown of blue crepe
with trimmings and hat Of soft, har-
monizing gray, and the finishing touch
given by a boquet of superb Bride
roses.
At the conclusion of the impressive
ceremony the guests were shown in
to the dining room by Mrs. w. b.
Duncan and Mrs. j. H. Kinsey. Here
was another veritable bower of beau

green tastefully carried out in a pro-
fusion of pink roses, sweet peas and
delicate tracery of vines. Delicious
cream and cake were served by Miss
es Margaret Godfrey and Nancy Wan
namaker.

useful wedding gifts, the interesting

In 1920 the people voted for
change, and there is nothing more
certain than that they got 1t, unless
it is that they seem to have gotten
more than they bargained for. Uni
versal prosperity has been changed
into universal hard times, when at
last are beginning to yield to hard
work and careful economy, with no
tangible help from Congress that
does nothing looking toward real re-
lief. From universal employment the
country reached the point where six
millions of able-bodied men were out
Of work. The Harding propagandists
fooled a great many people of various
classes; they even promised the ltal-
ian vote that Italy should have Fiume,
but she hasn't gotten Fiume up this
time. They even made the Germans
think Harding would ease them out OF
their reparations payments, then
Hughes told them to pay their bllls
without help or sympathy from the
United States.

The President is now urging that
loan of five millions be made to Liber-
ia, the negro republic on tbs West
African coast. More money taken
from the taxpayers pockets to throw
at. birds. Liberia now owes one and
one-half millions with practically no
chance that It will ever be paid unless
it is done out of the money which the
President desires to advance. The
chief object of the loan seems to be
to show the .colored voter in this

House. Like the anti-lynching bill, Il
is intended to produce a profound

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, D. c., April 22.-Sec-
retary Mellon advised Congress some
months ago that the Treasury was
threatened with a deficit of some fifty
millions unless appropriations were
reduced. The President and the Re-
publican leaders in Congress have
been vociferating loudly about the
wonderful economies practiced, bui
Mellon is now out with a statemen
showing that the deficit will be about
four hundred millions instead Of fifty.
Another year of such Republican
economy" will put Uncle Sam in the
poor house. If the bonus bill passes
the Senate and is signed by the
President, another heavy load is
placed on the Treasury unless a way
can be found to pay the bonus out Of
the interest and principal OF the
debts owed us by foreign govern
ments. The chance that 1t can be
paid in this manner is not promising,
as England is the only one Of our
debtors capable of making large pay
ments now within the near future.
