days with relatives in Marshville
last week.

Route No. 2 has been ordered
reversed and it will be necessary
that boxes be placed on opposite
side of the road, or on the right
side. This should be done not
later than April 1st. Patrons
should see that this is done.
Jefferson's Booster Festival
last week was pronounced a
success. Good crowds attended
despite the weather and the
promoters lost about sixty dollars
only, which was really less
that might have been expected
under the circumstances. They
were so well pleased that they
signed for another 3 day chautauqau
attraction for next fall.
Principal interest in the U nion
county criminal court last week
centered in the trial of A. C.
Funderburk for the killing: of
Luther Tray wick. A plea of
self defense was made, Funder
burk claiming that Tray wick
was in the act of cutting him
when the shots were fired. The
jury returned a verdict of guilty
of manslaughter, and the judge
sentenced Funderburk to three
years in the penitentiary. No
appeal was taken and he begins
serving his sentence at once.
According to the almanacs
* the days and nights became the
same length Sunday, March 21,
and on the same day spring was

ward journey and long days and
short nights are on the schedule
for the next six months.
A barn on the farm of Mr.
D. Teal 3 1-2 miles northeast of
Chesterfield was burned Satur>
1
day morning about 2 o'clock.
Three fine mules, 2 cows, 1 wagon,
3 or 4 tons of guano and all
the feed and other contents of
the barn were burned. Nothing
was saved as the fire had gained
much headway when the family
waked. There was no insurance.
This fire was about a mile from
*he one reported elsewhere in
inese columns.
Mr. John C. Mangum, who
moved from his old home on
131 1 ? *
oiauK creeK aooui six miles trom
Pageland to Lancaster a few
months ago died almost suddenly
about 6 o'clock Saturday
afternoon. The body was
brought back to Zion and buried
Sunday afternoon, the service
being conducted by Rev. J. W.
Quick. He had been in poor
health for several months, but
was better than usual on Saturday.
He was a good citizen and
an honest man. He is survived
by his wife and the following
children: S. IM Robert, Benjamin,

Oil and gasoline has been
hauled from Monroe by the
Standard Oil company's wagon
to supply Pageland's demands.
A station is being established at
Jefferson with Mr. J. C. Miller as
manager, to supply the following
places: Pageland. Guess, Mt.
Croghan, Rubv, Dudley, Tradesville,
Taxahavv, Bethune, Angelus
and Catarrh. The oils will
be shipped in large steel tanks
and piped into the wagon tank.
No storage tank will he installed
at present. This will he a great
convenience for the points that
have not been supplied, but for
Pageland there will he little i
change, save that the oils will
be delivered by a different
wagon. i
Changes in the time of departure
of carriers on routes No. 1
and 3 became effective Monday
and these carriers now leave the
office at 12:30 if the mail has
been received. Otherwise they
wait for the mail and leave not
later than 1:30 o'clock.
Mr. R. H. Nelson, the express
agent here, "shipped back" 22
gallon of boo/.e on the l^th because
the new law would not
allow him to deliver packages of
more than a gallon. Needless
to say the consignees were disannoinfort

It snowed rapidly tor nearly
two hours Saturday morning,
but the rain just before caused it
to melt and there was little to be
seen by nightfall, save in the
shaded spots. It is estimated
that enough fell to have covered
the ground about 4 inches deep.
This was the 20th day of March.
Dr. Robinson the so-called
"Indian Doctor," known of in
this whole section, was tried in
the Union county criminal court
