WILSON MAY LOSE VOTE
Jersey officials Decides Voter Must Vote in District in Which He Act
 ually Resides.

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 19.-Decision by the Mercer county board of cleo tions to enforce the New Jersey law of 1920. which provides that a voter must cast his ballot in the district lin which he actually resides" and not elsewhere probably will deprive for mer President Woodrow Wilson of his voting privileges in New Jersey this year.
 Mr. Wilson formerly lived at Princeton, which is part of Mercer county, and voted in the college town while he was president. He cannot vote in the District of Columbia, where he now lives, and the ruling made yesterday bars him from voting here, according to the view of local officials.
 The county board of elections has rejected the applications of half a dozen persons who formerly voted in this county and who now live else where. Among them were several government employees who live in Washington and have voted in New Jersey.

Fire Alarm Boxes or Telephone.

Editor Cheraw Chronicles:
In your editorial last week you a.
vocated installing a fire alarm system
instead Of an all day and night Sunday
telephone service. I am more in fay
CT Of the all day telephone servic;
because the expense is less, and any.
one can give an alarm from his ow'
nouse instead Of running block
an alarm box; and no false a m vii
be rung in by fools who wish to hear
the fire whistle and see some fun. Yol
can catch up with a guilty party by
his number when a false alarm is
given.
But fires on Sunday are not the only
things that call for an all day Sun
day telephone service. Circurstan-
ces may arise when one wants doc
tor in a hurry. About year ago on
a Sunday Mrs. C. fell in faint There
was no telephone service, and Mr.. G..
had to leave her an drum for doctor,
old and stiff as he was. That took
timc-time enought for one to die,
though fortunately Mrs. C. did not die
Then, there is not a Sunday wher
someone does not wish to know about
the afternoon trains, and by KNOWN,
save himself or herself the misfortune
of having to wait at the station, sup
PEERLESS, from one to three hours.
Other reasons may be added, not the
least of them that this is no longer a
little crossroads town, and shouls
not be treated as such.

straight games of basketball last week

from Chesterfield was defeated BY the
score Of "a to 16. The visiting team

overcome the lead Of Cheraw. D3u~.
las played the best ball for the yisi-
tors.
The fast Darlington team came over
on Friday afternoon with the expo eta
tions of carrying home victory. How
ever, the local boys, by excellent
work outclassed the Darlington bov~
n every stage Of the game as II
score of 80 to 10 would indicate.
Boatwrght, the all-state halfback,
was the outstanding star for the visi-
tors while Matheson and Duvall prob
ably played, the best for the home
team.
Causey, the regular forward, was
out of the game on account Of slight
injury to his hand, but the work
of Stubbs, Howard Duvall, Billy Eras-
ingto,n John Evans and Laney Melton
demonstrated the fact that plenty OF
good material is available.

around her by her kindly disposition
and lovely qualities of mind and heart
She was an active member Of the
Methodist church, and of a number Of
its societies through which her infiu-
ence was felt.
The funeral services were held in
private at her home at ten O'Clock on
Sunday morning, her pastor, DR.. Wat
son B. Duncan, officiating. She was
laid to rest in st. DaHd's cemetery
under mass Of flowers that bore testi-
mony to the high esteem in which she
was held.
Yet, there is no Death! What
seems so is transition; this lie of

Plenty Of Pressure.
Editor Cheraw Chronicle:

Editor CheraW Chronicle:
Your last weeks issue contained ar
article over the signature of j. S
Hartzell which does me a great injus'
tice. In writing about the Sunday
morning fire which destroyed Maj
Gilespie's barn, the Reverend gentle
man criticised practically everything
from the town councils backbone tc
the water works system.
As l am responsible for the efficien-
cy of the latter l feel that reply tc
his article is proper in justice to the
city's water department, to the general
public and to myself.
Let me say in the beginning that !
am not, nor is the water department
opposed to criticism when It is true and
just, this is helpful and will be appre
ciated.
He writes: There was no pressure
on the water when the alarm was
given, and by the time that was pu'
on the big barn and contents wer
completely destroyed. Why Is not our
water system kept at a hundred pc
cent efficiency so that fire can be put
out at any time"
The first sentence Of the above is
absolutely incorrect Let me explain
that in a water system such as ours
with an elevated tank, every school
boy knows or should know, that any
water coming from the tank will be
under pressure. The appearance
of water when hydrant Is open
ed is complete and indisputable evi-
dence Of pressure. This is the law of
gravity, a condition of nature, and
faileth not. If there were only ten gal
Ions OF water in the tank this much
would be delivered at the hydrant un-
der pressure quite adequate for fire
fighting purposes.
The fact is that when this alarm was
given the tank was two thirds full o.
water and the pump was in operation.
In further dispersion Of his prittlt
prattle, fire chief Thomas tells me thu
on this occasion the pressure was
splendid and that the fire department
succeeded in saving great deal
tha Majors cotton altho' the barn was
destroyed when they arrived.
AS to the efficiency of the water sys-
tenn and of the service 1t renders l will
say that the system has been in oper'
ton almost nine years and during all
this time it has successfully met every
demand that has been made upon it
and the city has never been withou;
an adequate supply Of water and no
just water but good water, the sau1pl
sent for examination being frequentl.
commented upon favorably. If this is
not satisfactory service should J
to know what is expected of fatei
work system.
Oh, well, there are some people who
will enter the "Pearly Gates" with
their mouths full OF criticism and sug'
gestions for great changes if, per
chance, they are allowed to entnr with
their beloved earthly nacularities.
With these facts before the peopl>
of Cheraw, whom l am doing MY bes:
to serve faithfully and we'll, | am su!,
they will be able to determine for
themselves whether or not the WA.
department deserved the criticism i.
received.
