s The Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Mornings C. M. Tucker, Proprietor i?^mm? ? i ? . ? Subscription Price - - SI.00 i Entered as second class maii ' matter at the post olfice at Pageland, S. C., under Postal Act < of March 3, 1879. , April 14, 1915 The rise in the price of cotton 1 has come at the wrong time, and 1 many farmers will forget the ' lesson of the past season and ] plant too much cotton again. ( This is another reason why you should not. , "Our wagon roads throughout ] the country," said Bill Nye, "are < a disgrace to civilization, and i before we undertake to supply underwear and seal skin bibles ; with flexible back to the Africans, it might be well to put a tew dollars into the relief of , galled horses and broken down mules that have lost their health on our miserable roads." Vote Yes, Tuesday, May 4. Every dollar that is spent for the improvement of public roads ; is a forward step in the march ol progress. We don't believe that money used for grading or in any way improving our system of public highways is spent in vain. Neither do we think it is a tax on the people, but only a factor used in bringing about conditions that will help the people pay their tax. The wear and tear of wagons and teams and the loss of time 111 hauling small loads over bad roads amounts to much more than the small amount that is necessary to keep the roads in first class condition, to say nothing of the satisfaction to. be derived from good public highways. ^ The Germans are killing Russians, Russians killing German^; !^nchmen thus we could string out a lengthy article telling who is _ killing and being killed. America has remained neutral but there are those who are itching for a fight. Right they are and the time for nrtion lm? mnu With the opening of spring the fighting should begin in dead earnest. Now is the time to enlist. Join the ranks. Let every patriotic American be aroused to action. The enemy in ap pearing here and there. Swat him, and let this be the year when a relentless warfare will be waged on the innocent-looking but dangerous enemy to health, the ordinary house fly. Kill him as he appears and destroy his camp. From all sections come news of mad dogs. These reports set one to thinking about the danger and uneasiness to which we are all more or less subjected each year because so many otherwise good people keep worthless curs about them. There is no disease to which the human race is subject that is more terrible than hydrophobia, and every parcaution should be taken to prevent it. Sometimes we feel like a law making it fl misflpm<'?inf>r lr? ?*/ tl I IV/ VV ll of any kind to remain on one premises over thirty minutes would be a beneficial one. ' When there were deer, foxes, coons and plenty of 'possums and rabbits there was some excuse for keeping; a dog, but we challenge any man to show good cause why he should keep one or more mongrels about his ' premises to endanger the peace : and safety of his family and everybody in the community. Then, the man who has gocd reason to believe that his dog has been bitten by a mad dog but refuses to kill it is far from t our idea of a good citizen. , The dog has many commendable traits, one of which is sfanding by his friends, but the ! time of his usefulness has about passed. 1 \ CHURCH NOTES BAPTIST, J. M. Sullivan. Pdstor. Why do we believe in Foreign Missions? Because our Saviour said, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Our Foreign Mission Board is composed of forty members, twenty-two of whom live in the city where the board is located, Richmond, Va., and eighteen in the states of the Souihern Baptist convention. One in each . state. Dr. R. W. Lide of Darlington, is the vice president for our state. We nolice some particular instructions given hv our Lord to Peter, John 12:15; "Feed my lambs" verse 16; "Feed my sheep" Luke 22:52; "Strengthen ? thy brethren." ? I)r. John F. Vines, Anderson, 5. C., is our vice president, Home Missions. Rev. B. S. Funderburg, Chesterfield Association;!! vice president Home Missions. Our offering last Sunday at Pageland was splendid, but would have been better had we planned, for it in advance. We wete delighted with the good talks by our two laymen from Chestei field, Brethren Riv ers ana fetUhns. Their messages B wete both helpful and inspiring.
