In a Charlotte paper Friday
was an article saying that Mr.
Earl Pigg, son of Mr. and MrsH.
D. Pigg of Pageland, had
been arrested on a charge of
stealing an army overcoat and
carrying it to a pressing club to
have it shortened and dyed. At
the hearing given Mr. Pigg Friday,
however, it developed that
the coat in question was not
stolen at all, but that it was
bought from one of the soldier
boys who preferred to dispose
of it for the cash. It also devel
ooed at the hearing that it had
become an ordinary occurrence
for the armv boys to sell articles
of clothing to the camp work
men to secure cash when they
needed it. Mr. Pigg had seen
the others do it, so he bought a
coat. As it happened, though,
the officials had become suspicious
and notified the pressing J
clubs to 'phone them the next r
time army clothing was brought |
in for alteration. Mr. Pigg hap- f
pened to be the next one, and
was therefore carried into police
court. After the hearing he f
was dismissed. It is unlawful ;
for any civilian to have or wear !
army or navy uniforms*

A number of persons evidently
misread the little piece in this
column last week about Mr. S.
H. Lanev. They say the last
sentence conveyed the idea that
Mr. Lanev used profanity in his
talk to Mr. C. L. Gulledge. No
such intention was in the mind
of the writer, and we regret very
much that such an impression
should have been made. Mr.
Lanev lias always been one of
the Journal's staunchest supporters,
and he is held in high
esteem by the writer of the junk
column, else we would not
write about him so often.
We hear that a great many of
our readers, some of them grayhaired,
took a very piominent
part in the dancing under the 49
tent at the county fair last week.
Others were only interested
spectators. We shall not tell on
any of thorn except those who
fail to pay up their subsciptions
at once. The dollar is the price
of silence.
Lest our readers, if any, should
ueeuuie uneasy as to tne wellbeing:
of Prof. John Terry, vve
would say that at last accounts
he had almost abandoned thh
shade in his yard for a seat in
his Ford. Flis name has been
tvitccarwir in
oiiiiiK in 1111a iuk uji MHI1C
time, as a result of the unusually
quiet and well behaved period
in his career.
