The Pageland Journal August 12, 1914 ????????^ Local News Mr. B. F. Clark lost a fine milk cow Monday. Mrs. M. E. Threatt is having her residence remodeled. Mr. H. J. Ogburn, who has been at Mallory, S. C., for several months, has moved to Tatum, where he has a position as book keeper. His wife and children are visiting here for a few days. All who are interested are requested to meet at Zion next Friday morning to clean off the cemetery. The ladies of the Baptist church request that the ladies of all the other churches in town cooperate with them in the Woman's ?*Iissionary meeting here on August 27th and 28th. All persons interested in the care of the cemetery at Antiock are requested to meet there next Friday morning and help in cleaning off the grounds. By reference to the candidate's column it may be seen that the names of G. M. Rodgers and D. W. Knight have been dropped and W. P. Odom has been added. 'Mr. Knight was a candidate for auditor and Mr. Rodgers for magistrate. Mr. Odom is a candidate for representative. Pour meetings of the county campaign have been held, and the candidates are this week reloading for the meetings yet to be held. The other meetings are as follows: Jefferson 18th; Pageland 19th; Mt. Croghan 20; Odom's Mill 21; Chesterfield 22. The first primary will be held on Tuesday, August 25th. The protracted meeting is in progess at Rose Hill church, and Rev. W. D. Reid, of Stanley county, N. C., is doing the preaciiiciK. tie is very plain and clear in his discourses, and he is uttering some very cutting truths. He is an able preacher and his sermons are logical and compelling, and there is much interested in the revival. Miss Maude Mangum, the little blind girl who gave a musical entertainment here two years ago, will give another in the school auditorium next Tuesday night, August 18th. A large crowd attended before and all were pleased with her music. and she was made happy. She is now a graduate in music, and therefore much better prepared than she was at that time. Admission will be 15 and 25 cents. She will highly appreciate your presence. Mr. John W. Huntley, of Rock Hill, is visiting old acquaintances in Union county. He formerly lived on the farm where Mr. John Deese now lives, and he was well known over the county. He invented a cotton planter before the war and manufactured a number of planters in the spring of 1860, the patent having been secured the year before. The planter was verv much like the Lytch planter. The main difference was that the furroWjWas made by a very small plow and the feed was operated by a belt instead of a lever. The Civil war demoralized the cotton industry and there was no demand for planters. In 1872, he contracted with an impliment manufacturing company in Charlotte to make the planters for him. He says they didn't make the feeding arrangement just as he specified and the planters did not give entire satisfaction. His planters sold for $15. In the meantime, others had made improvements and secured patents on planters * they could sell cheaper, and he was forced owt of fhe business.' * Mr. T. W. Gregory has sold \ his stock of groceries to Mr. W. F. Redfearn, who will carry a b line of groceries in connection with the market. Several weeks ago the news ^ was passed along that the- rural carriers would get n raise of a $100.00 on July 1st., and all the ^ carriers were requested'to count and weigh the mail for two c months. Now the word comes that the increase will be according to length of route, amount a of mail carried, etc. and very few are getting any raise at all. Npv' D. F. Little gets four dollars a r year more and Mr. J. T. Little s doesn't get any ntore. None of the carriers at Mnrshvillp apt a r raise, and only two at Monroe get a raise. Mr. Adam Peneger on route one gets $52 more and s Mr. Secrest gets $4 more. Eleven 1 hundred was the salary for a s standard route before the raise, N and they all expected it to be 1 $1,200 after July 1st. Mr. Finley * is trying to get the raise for them as it was lirst announced. 1 i Personals < Mrs. J. B. Swanner, of Marshville, is spending the week here. Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
