found that No. 6 defeated the
issue of $15,000; No. 8 voted
$40,000; No. 9 voted ?15,000 and
10 voted $15,000. No. 8
township will pay $30,000 when
the railroad is completed to
NJount Pleasant and the other
$10,000 when it connects with
tie Seaboard Air Line or the
Atlantic Coast Line; No. 9 will

Secretary Garrison of the War
Department, hoarded a horse car
m New York. He had no
diange and gave the conductor
a five dollar bill. The conductor
took the bill, walked to the
front end of the car and stood
there.
"My change?" suggested Garrison.
"I can't change no five-dolla
bill," the conductor replied.
' "Then give me back my bill,"
demanded Garrison.
"Can't do that either, boss,"
the conductor replied; but if
I you'll stay on the car until we
git to the barn you can1 have the
horses!"

jhequick-as-a flash comeback.
An oldtime Kansas edisor was
nitting in a restaurant eating a
Mckled pig's foot?or a pig's

A tramp printer came in, saw
the editor, and screa.rted:
"Git out of the way, you! I'm

"Yes," commented the editor
genially; "and I'm eating one of

Wood row Wilson, President

occasion being the celebration
of the 150th anniversary of the
founding of the little city on the
Pee Dee River. The Hon. Jo
sephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy, and the Hon. David Hous

have also accepted invitations
to be present and make addresses.

Cheraw club sent instructed del

A dam costing only a few
hundred dollars, built across
Little Fork Creek, af the foot ol
Brewer Mine Hill, would furnish
sufficient power to run a saw
mill or ginnery, and light the
streets, stores, public buildings
and residences of Jefferson, anc
besides all this, there would be
power to run sewing machine
and an electric fan in even
house in town. This is ar
ideal spot for a dam, and the
flow of water is sutficent all the
year round for the needs ofi
small town like this. Durinj
the far greater part of the yeai
twice as much power could be
secured as is indeed. Of course
the dam would be only a part ol
the initial expense, but the op

do our hearts bleed and our very
