/ The Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Mornings C. M. Tucker, Proprietor *? A Subscription Price - - $1.00 N Entered as second class mail matter at the post office at Pageland, S. C., under the Postal Act of March 3, 1879. rohwiifimr 17 I " i vui uas j ji i, Good roads are not a luxury, but an absolute necessity. Every man wants good roads, but many like for the other man to pay the bill. The road drag: pays bigger] dividends than bank stock, but in a different way. No high-priced yoiirg mules will be to pay for in the South next fall. That means the farmers will be in better circumstances. Preachers and editors may fare better. The road drag works wonders on a road after the rain stops, but a foundation is needed to bear the strain of rainy weather and much travel. Build good roads and then the drag will keep them tmni 1 ^yv>v*. A preacher judges men by tiie way they pay him; a merchant by the way they pay him; a doc-j tor by the way they pay him,j and a newspaper man by the! way the" pay him, for he has a weekly reminder of the tardiness of his readers. He knows the1 sorry men of a community and thinks of them as such. v The bill abolishing the office of constable in Chesterfield county has caused so much unfavorable comment Senator Laney has agreed, we understand, to make an effort to re peal the act. This will not mend matters, however, lor the constables and rural policemen will cost the count}- something more than four thousand annually, as before, and no sa\ ing to the tax payers will be made. As \\C understand the situation, the office of rural policeman should be abolished, and the salary of the constables increased to an average of three hundred dollars. Under the old system the criminal work of till1 CAI1 n ( llnLi " ? ? ' ...w x/v/v<inj uuo lituiL* mail four thousand dollars, twentyseven hundred of which was paid to the three rural policemen. By abolishing the office of policeman this twenty-seven hundred would be saved. Add one hundred dollars to the salary of each of the eight constables, and there will still be a saving of nineteen hundred dollars a year. With this increase in salary and the fees for civil work the con stables would he glad to do the work. Harlow?Young Bilkins seems to be a very promising voung man. uuiiuw?yes; more promising than paying, I am told. Mike and Pal met one day on the street. "Oh, Pat," says Mike, "I dreamed, last night, that you died and went to the lower world." "Well," says Pat, "it might have been worse." "How's that?" exclaimed Mike, in amazement. "Well," returned Pat,"it might have been true." Notice of Court Court of General Sessions will convene on Monday. March l 1915. Petit Jurors, Grand Jurors and witnesses take notice. I. P.

House of Representatives Mv dear Mr. Finley: With further reference to your letters of the 9th and 23rd ultimo, transmitting communications from Mr. C. M. Tucker and Dr. D. H. Funderburk of Pageland, South Carolina, requesting that the schedule of rural carrier No. 2 from that office, be changed so as to permit him to leave Little's corner, where his residence is located, on receipt of mail from rural carrier No. 1, Monroe, North Carolina, serve the route to the post office, a distance of 4.31 miles, leave the po t office to serve the remainder of the route after the receipt of mail '* from Cheraw, and end service at his residence, retaining in his possession over night mail col lectcd after leaving the post office and mail tor delivery on that portion of the route between Bass corner and the post office, a distance 01 5.17 miles, 1 beg to state that the matter has had attention. It is found that the proposed change would not advance the delivcrv of any mail, but would ott the contrary cause mail for patrons on that portion of the route between Bass corner and the post office to be delivered on the day following its receipt instead of the same day as at present. The mail is now scheduled to reach Pageland at 11:40 a. m. and the carrier is not | required to leave to serve the | route until 12 m. This scheduel has been in effect since February 1,1908, and there seems to be no reason why tlie carrier cannot continue to observe it. In view of these facts and as the retention of mail over night by rural carrieis is objectionable, 1 n ic a.. j XI AO UV/1IV/ V CU i licit II1C piOpUSCQ plan should not be adopted. Any jrddrtional j-tate^ents, however, which vou may have to present, will be given careful consideration, Sincerely yours, las. S. lilahslee Fourth Assistant Postmaster General.
