The Pageland Journal V Published Wednesday Mornings C. M. Tucker, Proprietor . Subscription Price - - $1.Q0 Entered as second class mail matter at the post office at Pageland, S. C., under the Postal Act of March 3, 1879. Sept. 2, 1914 Every man who voted in the first primary should vote in the second. Are the patrons of the school at Pageland willing to accept four hundred and eighty dollars each year as a gift? The election which has been called for September 10th is to decide this question. The patrons have voted an extra school levy upon themselves and everything necessary has been done to secure this state aid for the school, but it is classed as a graded school, and the aid is for high schools. The election is to change the name from "Graded* to "High" and thereby entitle the school to this additional school fund without cost. We suppose there will not be a vote cast against this proposition. North Carolina, including Union county, has been inclined to poke fun at South Carolina for some, time because of the warm political times we have down this way, but they can not say much now. We haven't seen anything lately that was hotter than the recent primary election in Union county. From the information obtainable, it seems that there was about as much heat there as here, and the main difference in the campaigns there and here is that South Carolina campaigners are out spoken and do not mind calling a lie a lie, while North Carolinians try to say the ugly word in pretty language. ^^^^^HiejmirnarTsnot a partisan paper, and it takes nd active part i:*:? n?i *i iu i/uiuns. wruinarny measures and not men are discussed, and nothing is said for or against any particular candidate. This week we depart from this position, and ask our readers to vote for R. I. Manning for governor. Manning is a clean and able man, and seems to have all necessary qualifications for a ? good governor. He is a successful business man, and if his record is not clean his apponents have failed to point out the dirty parts. South Carolina would be in safe hands with Richard I Manning in the governor's chair. John G. Richards is also an able man, and he has proven himself one of the best railroad commissioners South Carolina has had. He yet has four years to serve as railroad commissioner at a salary of nineteen hundred dollars per year. He has been commissioner long enough ^to be familiar with the workings sxt ? > *1 *? ? - vi me U1111.C unu is mereiore Dei* ter able to serve the state during the corning four years than he has been in the past. He has no special qualifications tor governor, and there is no reason to suppose that he could under any circumstances make a better governor than Manning. Why then should he be taken from the position he holds to try him in a new one? ? Then Richards' record has been criticised. They say he tries to be on the big side always. In other words we can't be quite sure of the stand he will take when the pinch comes. We believe it is for the best interest of all concerned that Manning be elected governor in the next Tuesday's primary. I - CHURCH NOTES Baptist J. M. Sullivan. Pastor.

Hence, I appreciate' 0 both considerations by my ^ friends. The fight is now over and I do not hesitate saying that I took ! the stump for two reasons in * particular.

J An old lady hurried into one Ijf the Glasgow railway stations i nd, going up to a porter, said, ''X say, porter, can't you tell me yhere I shall get my train?" A "Where are you going, madam?" he asked. "What have you got to do with that? Can you tell me [where I shall get my train?" "But I cannot tell without?" j ^"Well, I'm not going to tell you where I'm going. I'll get some one else to help me." With that the old lady toddled farther up the platform, and, meeting another porter, propounded her conundrum to him. "Where are you going, mad am?" was his natural question. "Oh," she retorted, "you are just as impertinent as your mate. I'm not going to tell you where -I'm going." She went up to a third porter and asked him if he could tell her where her train was. She got the same reply, and, in apparent discouragement over the insatiable curosity of railway porters, said, "well, if you must know, I'm gcing to PaiJey." The porter directed her to the jPaisley train, and just as it was .leaving the platform she put her diead out of the window, and (Shouted, "How do you feel when Vou've been 'had'? I'm" not (going to Paisley at all. I'm going to Edinburg"?which, it need hardly be added, is in quite the opposite direction.
