The South Carolina legislature convened in extra session yesterday at noon in response to a call issued by the governor. The purpose of the session is to en art lonriclolion K~ ~. . 1? > av^ioiaiiv/ii IV/ UVU1CI11 II1U COI" ton farmers in this present energency and to devise some means of reducing next year's crop. Some are advocating "no cotton at all" for next year. There is some dissatisfaction over the change on Jefferson route one, a.s it cuts the route off from Pageland and leaves no mail service between Pageland and Jetferson, except around by Cheraw and McBee. The patrons of this route get their daily mail a day late at best, and any change that will make this condition worse is to be regretted. Mr. J. C. Mangum narrowly escaped serious iflfury Friday when his mules backedTiiirMnT<5" a ditch and pushed ft mouiinf; I _ tu^tiinju in 011 mm. 1 ne milchine struck him in the abdomen nnd mashed him enough to make laughing uncomfortable for a day or two but not enough to put him to bed. He spoke to the mules and they pulled the machine off of him, else he might have remained there for an indefinite period. The Potters, representing the Alkahest Lyceum .system, of Atlanta, will give an entertainment at the school auditorium next Monday evening, October 12th. The admission will be 35 cents, or .

Mrs. Sanford Smith, of Lanes Creek, township, is seriously ill and her son, Mr. II. L. Smith, of Pageland, is at her bedside. There is little prospect of peace in Europe at this time, and it looks like *a fight to the finish. 'The warehouse here is about completed and will soon be ready for storing cotton. The company will be incorporated, and will be" thoroughly responsible. The charges for storing cotton will be 25 cents per bale per month, which includes insurance. At tlijs rate a bale may be stored for a year and protected by insurance for three dollars. It is impossible for a small 1.1 wceKiy paper to report tne war news 11 anything like a satisfactory manner, for there is seven days' fighting to he reported and each day's reports fill many columns of the dailies. The Journal is printing a short daily account of the fighting, which wd1 give its readers the gist of the week's war news. We regret that we can't give more of it, but space will not permit. Mag Smith, a negro woman about 45 years old, was found dead in a swamp near Patrick last Saturday mornipg by a searching party. Her neck had been broken by a heavy blow with a blunt weapon, probably the shovel found near her, and there were signs of a tussle a few yards away and a path where her body had been drug and hidden behind n nino im<? and in the thick undergrowth. She had started to wash for Mrs. Calvin Ingram on Friday morning but had not been seen. When she did not return liome at night her people began to search for her. Mai com Michael, a negro about f>5 years old who had had trouble with the woman about a month before, was one of the searchers and it was noticed that he avoided a certain S^unp and told the others there no use io look in n 'Sw-Ainp for her. This gave rise to suspicions, and others went into the swamp and found the body. When it was found Michael said he would look out for tracks of the murderer and soon Michael had disappeared. Some negroes went to his cabin and called to him, whereupon he presented the muzzle of a double-barrel shot gun through the door and the negroes "lit a shuck," so to speak, and Michael left for parts unknown. Coroner Atkinson held an inquest Saturday after noon. Sheriff Douglass and the three rural policemen hunted the negro for about 21 hours, but failed to find him. Hand bills have been broadcasted, but ujj to the time this is written the negro has not been found. The scene of the crime was at least a half mile from any house and was near the path the woman uront In ?,? ,/! fmni I ? .W ??ivt 1IUIII H1IS Ill^UIIIl 5. Michael had been about Patrick about four years, and he had- a bad reputation. He said he came from w ilmington. A shovel and an old pair of shoes were found near the dead body and these were identified by Mr. W. 1\ Winburn and Mr. I). M. Williams as those in the possession of Michael.

So far as this paper has been able to ascertain there are only ' two foreign born persons in i Pageland, and these are T. M. i and Abe Joseph, natives of Leb- i anon, Syria. They came to : Pageland from Monroe, where they have relatives. They speak i and write English with difficulty, 1 and when talking to each other i they use their own language. 1 They are small of stature, and the complexion is dark. Their i hair is as black as the back, and there is no difficulty in recognizing them as foreigners. Abe Joseph is the older of ] the two, and he has been in this country ten years, according to : his statement. He left home at i me age 01 inirteen, wmcti makes : him twenty-three now. He is an i uncle of T. M. Joseph, who is < now seventeen, having been < here four years. Neither is married, and they cook for themselves. Their old home is in the mountains from whence came the famous cedar to build Solomon's temple at Jerusalem. They lived about twenty-five miles from Jerusalem, and about twenty miles from the Mediterranean sea. Their nearest sea-i port was Beirut, Syria, and each sailed from this port when coming to America. S>Tria is divided into six provinces and is a part of Asiatic Turkey. The Sultan of Turkey claims the territory but Lebanon is inhabited by a people who hate the Turks and who are now under the Roman Catholics of France rather than the Mohammedans of Turkey. They would delight to see Turkey join with Germany in the present war, because they believe France, England and Russia would exterminate the hated Turks. The people raise corn, wheat, oats, grapes, figs, cattle and sheep, but very few hogs and no cotton. In the section where these boys lived there is a dfy season beginning in June and lasting five months. The crops are watered bv irrigation. ?tuL. the people drink spring watoT that comes out of the mountai&l. No wells are used. The houses are built of stone from the mountains. They eat about the same diet as the American people, except the hog meat. Joseph says the fig trees grow as large as Pageland's favorite sycamore, and that there are grapes as large as guinea eggs. The people are Catholics and the priests and the old people and the idlers go to church twice a day, and all go on Sunday. Abe Joseph thinks the war will end in a few more weeks, and he hopes the Allies, particulor., ir K ...:n L. |?|J lliv; 1'ICUUI, Will ut* victorious. He expects to visit the "Old Country" some time, but not until the war is over. To Baptist Church Clerks. Heretofore there has been some trouble in the minds of our church clerks as to how much of the Associational Letter | to keep for the waste basket and , how much they should send to The Association. i Allow me to say that we want it all; where it says "Do not "detach" meaning "do not tear off," you obey and fill it out like the other and send it along. 1 Please look on the cover of The Minute and send money . accordingly, except Minute Fund bring that with you to the < Association. All 11 a _ .1 e ~ i j\ii iiium-ys euuecieu ior loker College Aid Fund can be 1 sent up to the Association, as no instructions have been given out as 10 the sending off of same. Please do your best to send us all the information asked for in the Associational letter, that our j minutes of next year may be a correct report of all work done in our chniches. J. M. Sullivan Treas. Please Stop My? j "Please stop my? what? "Times are hard, money is scarce, business is dull, retrenchment is a duty. Please stop my?" Whiskey?

"No, no, not these; but I must retrench somewhere. Please stop my?" Bibbons, jewels, ornaments and trinkets? "Not at all. Pride must be fostered, if times are so very hard; but I believe I can see a way to effect quite a saving in another direction. Please stop my?" Tea, coffee and needless and unhealthy luxuries? "No. no, no; not these. I can not think of such a sacriiice. I must think of something; else. \h, I havcit now. My weekly paper costs me two cents a week* I must save that. Please stop my?paper; that will carry me throur h easily. I believe in retrenchment and economy."?Literary World.
