r 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. CM under the Postal Act of March 3, 1879. ^ January 6, 1915 / Now is the time to drag the roads. Shape them while the dirt is soft and then it will be easy to keep them rounded. If you haven't a road drag, make you one and put the road i in better condition through your farm. Everybody will like you , better if you keep the road smotMh by your place. ^ - The state officials have in' structed'the countv treasurers to collect taxes through January I without adding the one per cent 1 1 penalty provided by law. This ' i action was taken because of the , | financial stringency and it gives the tax payers one*more month I in which to pay without addi- , tional cost. This was a wise step and we aie glad that the people still have a chance to pay?provided always that the money is at hand. For /he benefit of those who I may not be familiar with the term "vital statistics" we will say that it is the "proper" expression for record of births and deaths. Heretofore no official record has been kept of the ^ births and deaths in South Carolina, and the vital statistics law ^^ta|^iich became effective January, ' ^15 requires that a record kept in Columbia of everv and every death in the regard to reporting to the local registrar each birth or death within ten days. This is a good J law and the people should cooperate with the registrars in keeping an accurate record. v Registrars of vital Statistics tt Below is given the names and t! addresses of the registrars of T vital statistics for Chesterfield jj county: ^ Cheraw, T.

The medicine man hitched up his horse and they drove furiously to the farmer's home. Up on their arrival the farmer said- i "I low much is vour fee, Doc?" J "Three dollars," said the physician in surprise. "Here y'are," said ihe farmer, * handing over the money. "The "" blamed liveryman wanted five ? dollars to drive me home."?Ex. A negro bricklayer in Macon, Ga., was lying down during the noon hour, sleeping in the hot sun. The clock struck 1, the time to pick up his hod again. He rose, stretched and grumbled: "I wish I wuz daid. 'Tain' nothin* but wuk, wuk from mavvnin' tell night." Another man, a story above heard the complaint and djopped a brick on the grumbler's head. Dazed, he looked up and said: "Da Lawd can stan' no jokes. He jes' takes everything in earnest."?Ex.
