Tht? n condition of the cotton crop of e the United States on August 25 was 78.0 per cent, of a normal, t the United States department of agriculture's crop reporting board announced in its fourth I condition report of the season, tl This compares with 76.4 per cent, on July 25 this year, 68.2 j per cent, on August 25 last year, v 74.8 per cent, in 1912 and 73.4 v per cent, the average for the past fen years on August 25.

Clark were married last evening by Esq. G. M. Rodgers at his residence in the northern part of town, Mr. Smith is a son of Mr. T. B. Smith, and Mrs. Smith is a daughter of Mr. B. F. Clark. Many friends wish them happiness and prosperity. There is still no market for cotton, and the outlook isn't very encouraging for high prices this fall. The people all over the country are becoming aroused, and it is hoped that something may be done in a short time to restOie business conditions suf ficiently to create a cotton market that will hold the price about ten ceftts. fYmntv onH township meetings have been held all over the state and the Southern cotton congress is being organized in every locality State and National Governments will cooperate* and in all probability some plan will be worked out to warehouse the surplus cotton until the demand grows stronger. The funds of the United States treasury arc to be used when satisfactory warehouse arrangements have been made. A meeting was held in Columbia yesterday to see what can be done, and Messrs. L. L. Parker, U. W. Croswell and A. F. Funderlnirk attended from Pageland. The-onl^* advice we can give at present is to hold all cotton until something is done, and in the meantime harvest every thing on the farm that can be used there and prepare to sow nearly all the land in winter cover crops, to be followed bv* any ihing but cotton. The ten cents offer fve-made ast week has caused the dimes o come rolling in, even bevond )ur expectations. Now, we ,vant to make the offer a little : )roader vet.

The Troubles of The War Cor* respondents London, Aug. 30?The newspaper correspondents attempting* to cover the great war in Europe are having a sorry time. Especially in Belgium, where the bulk of the fighting has occurred, are the correspondents hurried by almost every conceivable difficulty. According to a letter received here t>om a London newspaper man in Belgium, the correspondents there are being arrested several times daily as SDies. are not allowed tr? o*?t -? F ?.W?.^ within cannon sound of the fighting and if they do happen to obtain any information re-, garding what is going on, the censors will not allow them to send it. "I do not anticipate every getting anywhere near a battle field," writes the correspondent referred to "and I do not expect I should be allowed to return alive with my story if I jlid get to the front. "I am havimpa ? of a time with these military blighters here. Most of my afternoons and evenings are spent in jail. I have a pass from the Belgian War Oflice with my photograph attached and countersigned by the General Staff, but tlu? tmnWo is that no one will apparently recogni/.e it. It is a pure bluff, and not worth the paper it is written on. 'Also the peasants who are too infirm to go to the front and the youngsters of every village throughout Belgium have turned themselves into a police force If you try to go anywhere outside of Brussels in an automobile you are held up, searched and asked to show your papers every half mile. "Yesterday two Belgian journalists and myself to Namur and Dinant, a journey of about 80 miles, hoping to discover the whereabouts of friends.

August 31st. 1914 Pageland Journal; Gentlemen?Allow me space in your columns to thank the voters of Chesterfield county for the handsome vote I received in the first primary, Aug. 25. I appreciate the vote because I believe it carries with it the recommendation of the issues I discussed on the stump in the county. Now fellow citizens, the whole matter rests with how you turn out at the second primary Sept. 8th. Lets have a lousing big turnout on that date, because it is important that those chosen to fill the offices have the same by a majority vote of all the people. Again let me thank you forj !he vote I received, a^id I hope j hat you think I merit your con- j inued support.
