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.

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 warehouse here is about
completed and will soon be ready

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

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.

Pageland's Two Foreigpers.
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.

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? "Oh, no; times
are not hard enough for that yet}
But there is something else that
costs me a large amount of money
every year, which I wish to
save. Please stop my?" Tobacco,
cigars and snuff? "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

you hear The Potters at the
