seems. It will soon be time for
proniment farmers and merchants
like T. B. Watts and J. J.
Terry to spend most of their
time in the shade.
Township bond issues for

at "laying by time" to
hundreds of Chesterfield folks
who, according to their own

While on his way to Kershaw
in a buggy Monday, Mr. B. J.
Hartman had the misfortune to
get one of his legs broken when
his mule became frightened and
ran away, says the Jeffersonian.
He was thrown from the bug
gy, and in some way his foot got
caught in the wheel and his leg
was broken just above the ankle.
Mr. J. E. Agerton, township
road commissioner for Old Store
township, asks us to explain to
the people of this township that
the road tax must be spent on
the road where the tax is paid.
He says that in some sections of
the township nearly every man
has his tax, while in other
/.vsec^^^haidly any have paid.

The treasurer of the Pageland
council of the Junior Order re
ceived a check Monday for
$500 for Mrs. R. E. Knight,
whose husband died a few days
ago, he being a member of
the order. This amount comes
in a good time and will be of
much help to Mrs. Knight and
children. Mr. Knight had been
a member of the order something
over three years, but he
had received more from the
sick benefit fund than he had
paid in as dues.

a bed room while the family was

The snow recorded in these
columns last week was followed ?

One day last week a couple of (
box cars broke loose on the
grade near the crossing in the c
northern part of town and they 1
were on the run for Crowburk
when Mr. R. L. Rodgers saw *
them from his home near the track
and ran and mounted one ]
of them. It is downhill all the
way to Crowburk and the roadbed
is in poor condition. The cars
would have been dumped
I mio me mud somewhere clown
the road, and Mr. Rodders was *
taking a great risk when he
mounted one and began pulling
brakes. Hi? efforts,
cessful and he soon troughs the ^
cars to a standstill, and thus \
saved the road many dollars. "
He deserves a pass.
