The Pageland Journal Jone 2,1915 Local News Mr. B. C. Ashcraft will lecture at the Pageland Baptist church next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Those who have heard him will go again and those who haven't should hear him once. Mr. DeWitt Sanders, who has been in Wofford College, will go to the coal regions of West Virginia to sell books when commencement is ever. He will not come home, but will go direct to his new work. Who originated the idea that a sand hill road should serve as a ditch to carrv away the water from the adjoining field and pastures? Between two ditches is the place for a road and not right in the middle of one. Mr. Chas. Coward, son of Section Master Coward, was run over by a freight train at McBee Monday afternoon of last week. His legs were badly crushed, and a special train carried him to Columbia, but he died a few hours later. The Journal is asked to say that there will be Mothers' day service at Providence next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. (?) B. C. Ashcraft, editor of the Monroe Enquirer, is expected to deliver an address. The public is cordially invited. The Cheraw masonic lodge has invited the Pageland lodge to meet with it t^t Cheraw on Tuesday night, June 8, when T. E. Wannamaker, will lectue on Masonry and when third degrees will be conferred. Refreshments will be served, and a good time is expected. The 2-year-old son of Mr. cho^ral^^^u^L^^^had been sick about a week. The body was laid to rest at Hopewell Sunday at 11 o'clock, services being conducted by Rev. J. M. Sullivan. A rural carrier's examination will be held at Cheraw on Tune 26th to fill the vacancy on Route 3 from Patrick, which will be occasioned by the establishment of this tri-weekly route 21 miles long on June 16th. There is a county register for this county, but for some reason a special examination will be held to make this appointment. A summer school for the teachers of Chesterfield, Darling ton, Florence, Williamsburg ^and Dillon counties has been \ arranged to begin at Coker College on the 14th of June. This school will last until the 9th of July and will be under the supervision of the State Board of Education and the superintendents of the five counties. Tuition will be free, and board and incidental tees will be $17.50 for the whole session. Examinations will be held at the close and teachers! will be given credit on their certificates for improvement made. Supt. Rouse was in town Monday, and he said the rural schools of this county -had ayeraged 6 1-2 months during the past session. He also stated that nearly one third of the amount paid to teachers this year had come from the state beneficiary fund and that this amounted to $7,500 as compared with $6,000 last year and about $1,000 for the preceding years. He feels that this has been a very successful year for the schooM of the county and that the people are fortunate in having their schools to run so long in a year when money is scarce, and taxes slow in coming in. " >? Mr. Charlie C. Kizer and Miss May Blackburn, of Uniou f county, were married by Mr. J. c A. Hicks at bis home Sunday f afternoon at 2 o'clock. t Mr. James Rollings and Miss Monica Rape, of Buford town- e ship, were married Sunday r afternoon at 3 o'clock at the t home of Mr. J. A. Hicks, the I officiating notary. t Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Smith leave 1 today to be at the bedside of the former's mother, Mrs. Jane Michal at Mineral Serines. N. C. She suffered a stroke of paraly sis on the left side several days 1 ago and is now in a critical con- * dition. She is 71 years old. ^ From the reports we get we are led to believe that our j neighboring township, Jefferson* ^ will vote in favor of road bonds j in the approaching election. ( We shall be glad to see| these people take a stand in favor of ] better roads. ] Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Relk and 1 little daughter Theo are stopping j over in Pageland, waiting for 1 the roads to drv out some before ? continueing their journey to ^ Campobello Mineral Springs 1 where they expect to spend the ] summer. Mr. Belk reports the 1 roads almost impassable with a heavy car in a considerable < number of places from Cheraw l to Pageland on account of the neavy and continued rains. ^ The game of ball played by ? the married and single men here ' last Thursday afternoon was a very interesting game, characterized by good feeling throughout. Only seven innings were played, and the score stood 12 lo 6 in favor of the married ^ ones. It was suggested that the ( result of this game might boom 1 the matrimonial market and thereby place a few others on s the side of the winners. How- 1 ever, no developments have been reported up to this time. Mftt; I .nlq. TnrlfPr w/if*> ol Mr. f roey Tucker, of the Ruby \ lection, died in the hospital at 1 Florence on the 25th. of May f and the body was brought back >, and laid to rest in the Cross Roads cemetery the following day, services being conducted by Rev. J. D. Purvis. Mrs. Tucker was about 40 years old. Her husband and nine children s survive, together with her father, t motner and eight brothers* and sisters. She was a daughter of i Mr. Chapman Stanley, of Ruby, 'j and she had been a member of a the Baptist church 25 years. r Much land has been plowed ? wet during the past few weeks and much moie will be plowed wet unless the rains cease. It ] is easy, however, to become alarmed too soon and to do work that is not only a waste of labor but harmful in its effects ^ upon the land and crops It is < claimed by many farmers that it j does not hurt land to plow it ^ wet if it rains again in a day or ^ two. We doubt the correctness ^ of this view. Noah and his ^ family stayed under cover until < ; the rain ceased. This is a good i I example for those farmers who become restless when it rains too much to suit them. Yesterday was the first M the month and the bill collectors were in evidence soon and late. As an evidence of the "push" that some of our enterprising citizens put into these monthly efforts to collect their accounts, we relate the following: When Mr. L. J. Watford came from breakfast yesterday morning he found Mr. Charlie Price already out with his hand full of bills, and he greeted him by saying, "ur~ii~i *i~ ? - itciiu; \>iiarue, wny uont you i carrv a lantern when you no < out collecting before day?" A < man who lives in the country is 4 usually a little sensitive about 4 being "dunned," but he has only 4 to live in town a few months to 4 have that sensitiveness all 4 knocked out of him. \ Mr. J. E. Agcrton tripped and 1 ell as he was getting out of his ' :ar Friday, and was right painally hurt, one rib being frac- ' ured. 1 Brick are being, placed for thife 1 irection of two or more store ^ ooms on McGregor street bevveen the old market and W.
