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 offer of The
ournal from now until J an u ay 1
si for ten cents still holds good.

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.

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.
Respectfully
J. t lifton Rivers
