The Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Mornings C. M. Tucker, Proprietor Subscription Price - - $1.00 Entered as second class mail matter at the post office at Pageland, S. C., under the Postal Act of March 3, 1879. Angost 12, 1914 Crops in this section are fine. Crops in some other sections are not so fine. Hailstorms have destroyed the crops in some sections, and dry weather has caused them to parch in other sections. All Europe is engaged in a bloodv war, but all is peace here. If ever a people had cause for thankfulness it must be the good people of C1n*s terfield county, who are said to have the best prospects for cotton and corn and other crops that they have ever had, and better than any other section from which we have heard, soil and other advantages considered. "If we get a few more good rains, I believe this section will make plenty of corn for next year," remarked a prom i net farmer the other day. We hope he is correct in this and _ we would like to know that no hay or oats would be shipped from the west to Pag eland next sprinsr. This European war and the decline in the price of cotton is another convincing argument that it is better to live at home and raise cotton as a surplus money crop. The western farmers will pocket many a dollar from the increase in the price of grain, but the southern man who put his trust in cotton will come out at the little end of the horn. The farmer who is raising plenty of corn and other supplies at home will be effected very little by the war. " a^ito"lCllCv>V <4i rViJC** jHHBBHBisual greeting now, and ^^^TOoy is able to tell. The cen^ sorships are so rigidly enforced that no authentic reports are to be had. The reports of engagements are overestimated at first, and when the truth is learned it is not so bad as first pictured. The fighting so far has not been of very great importance; but the preparations go on in all the countries taking part in the hostilities. "What's cotton going to do?" is about the second question propounded when friends meet now. This too is more than anybod y can tell. The southern statesmen in Washington are working day and night almost in an effort to prepare for taking care of the cotton crop as it is gathered. Sehator Ed Smith of South Carolina, met John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency, and other offirinU in conference in Washington Sunday, and they discussed plans for furnishing money to the southern farmers from the treasury of the United States government. Mr. Williams promised fo do all in his power in that direction. Smith told him he did not want the money sent to the big banks in Columbia, Charleston and Spartanburg but to the small State benks in the small towns so that the farmers can bring their cotton right to their own markets and get money to meet their obligations. A cotton conference will be held in Washington tomorrow to devise plans looking tn same end. We feel confident that something: will be done, and it is the duty of every colton farmer to hold every bale of cotton off the market just as long: as it is possible. This will aid very gjreatly in holding: the price up. Do not be alarmed, for nothing: will knock the bottom out of the price like a rush to g:et it on the market just &s soon as possible. Hold your nerve and your cotton for a little while and tho hior war scare will pass as the mist before the sun. CHURCH NOTES Methodist Episcopal Rev. J. A.

"The Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad." We have just closed one of the best meetings at White Plains we .have had this summer. Bro. C. W. Jones, as announced some time ago, did the preaching and did it so effectively that the church was greatly revived and 15 were added to our number by experience and baptism. We had great crow ds every service, sometimes we could not accommodate them all. It was surprisin or tr* linvp en mnnv nttnnd tlio Baptismal service Monday. The largest we have eve? seen at a Monday service. We appreciate it" on the part of the Pageland church to give us the time oft last Sunday as it was their regular Sunday morning hour We feel that the time was profitably spent, as the closing services of a meeting may mean so much. Our hearts are always sad at the thought that some one will be gone before another meeting time comes around. May God in his goodness cause them to think on their way before it is everlastingly too late for them. -Our appointments for next - oiTnaay^mn ue'iaxanarw n a. m; White Plains 3:30 p. m.
