The Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Mornings C. M. Tucker, Proprietor Subscription Price - - $1.00 Entered as second-class mail! matter at the post olfice at Page- j land, S. C., under Postal Act; of March 3, 1879. April 28, 1915 LaCoste Evans, of Cheraw is the most enthusiastic good roads | man in the world, we believe. The bonds will increase the tax 46 cents on the hundred dollars, but the money will be spent right here at home and we will have it ready to pay the tax, and will also have better roads. A large tax payer should appreciate his success enough to vote for bonds to build a road for humanity to pass over in ease, especially when he will be richly repaid in dollars and cents. The small tax paver should vote for bonds because he gets more than he pays for. Read the schedule of good roads speaking in this issue and ; get ready to attend at least one of ihe meetings. If you are for bond issue you should go and enjoy the hour. If you are against the bonds go and ask for an opportunity to put your ideas before the audience. Under the bond issue plan we will have good roads and the man who owns the property, including the big farmers, banks, corporations, etc, will pay the bill. Otherwise legislation in all probability will be passed before a great while increasing the commutation tax from two dol lars to possibly live. Who then will pay? Next Tuesday is the poor man and small property owner's chance to make the big property ~pdrTtTT system of good roads throughout the county. Ilovv will you vote? D. J. Melton Dead Mr. D. J. Melton died at his home in Buford township Monday morning at 5 o'clock, after a lingering illness with consumption. He was 50 years old, was a member of Mt. Zion Baptist church and a good citizen.

Was on the Merrimac Monroe Enquirer Mr. Jacob Brown, a harness maker in Warlick's shop here, was on the Confederate battle. ship, Merrimac,. in the engagement between that vessel and the Federal battleship, Monitor, in Hampton Roads March 8 and 9, 1862 Mr. Brown says that he was at a gun throughout the engagement between the ironclads, the first of their kind in the world's history, and that he sponged out the cannon after every fire and took part in blowing up the Merrimac when she stuck fast in the Richmond channel when an attempt was made to make a run to Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy. Mr. Brown savs that rather than let the enemy capture their vessel they put a fuse to the magazine, touched it off, let down the small boats, put off and from a good safe distance saw the first ironclad vessel blown up. Mr. Brown is a native of Salisbury. The above picture shows a at wort*, as tew men ever wc him? Next Tuesday is your Mr. J. C. Evans in Hospital Mr. Julius C. Evans, son of Mr. K. A. Evans, is in a hospital in Charlotte where he is under treatment for a disease which the doctors have not been able to diagnose. It seems to be some kind of kidney trouble and he suffers intensely at times, lie has been subject to this trouble at times for about 2 years but it has grown much worse. Attack O i Dardanelles Begun By Land And Sea. London, April 2b.? The admiralty anil the war office declared this afternoon that a general attack on the Dardanelles had begun. An army, it was said, has been disembarked successfully. This official announcement was given out: "The general attack on the Dardanelles by the fleet and the army was resumed yesterday. "The disembarkation of the army, covered by the fleett began before sm7nstTaF,,various points on the Gallipoli peninsula and in pile of serious opposition from the enemy in strong entrenchments protected by barbed wire was completely successful. "Before nightfall large forces were established on shore. "The landing of the army and the advance continue." The last concerted effort by the allies against the Dardanelles was over a month ago, March 19 and 20. This attack, entirely from the sea, failed and the allies lost the British battleships Irresistible and Ocean and the French battleship Bouvet. The last five weeks have seen naval activity of only minor im poriance in me straits. A new feature of the renewed fighting: is the participation of land forces. British troops have been brought from Egypt and French soldiers are believed to have come from the southern shores of the Mediterranean. There have been dispatches recently relating to movements of British and French transports in the direction of the Aegean sea.
