Let no land lie idle this summer.
Make feed and food.
You'll be glad of it later.
Black berries, h uck 1 eberries,
peaches, apples and the negro's
inanna (usually called watermelons)
are all just ahead.
Open privies and health are
bitter enemies. Which are you
encouraging. If the town authorities
should ask you to
screen your privy, would you
object?
The great armies in Europe
add recruits to their numbers as
fast as they can, but the nasty
house fly can laugh them to]
scorn wnen numbers are to be
increased.
Don't neglect your grain crop
for cotton. Let the grass grow,
it needs be, and harvest what
you have already made. You
know one bird in hand is worth
a couple in the bush.
If vou could take a peep at
Mr. Fly as he crawls over your
victuals and see what kind of
flavor he is giving it, you would
join heartily in a campaign to
perish the little sinner.
?
Don't work too hard trying to
grow no hay, and then buy
what some western farmer has
made agdAcped you. Your
land wilijjj^^^iabundance of
iiuj. JV, r* n_f?
are y6u sHN^fthe old general

If we were gifted in persuasive
eloquence, we would try our
hand on Henrv Ford and see if
we could pursuade him to send
us half a dozen "Fords" just because
he is able and because we
would like to have one to use
and a few extra ones to give to
our friends.
The sending of a German
from this country to Germany
to give the kaiser first hand information
as to the attitude of
the American people toward his
government should aid in bring
ing about a peaceful settlement
of the ditficulty that has arisen
from Germany's submarine
policy. It is claimed that the reports
from this country are
changed and colored to such an
extent that a false impression
has been made or. Germany.
This of course muddles th#?
waters, and makes an early and
satisfactory settlement much
harder. Our government has
. taken a firm stand, but we see
no cause for alarm. Germany
will squirm and yield as few
points as possible, but the
trouble, in our opinion, will be
adjusted without serious eventualities.
We are glad to learn that our
neighboring township has voted
bonds for road improvement.
This is a forward step our township
refused to take a few weeks
ago, and we are all the worse
for it. We have always thought
well of the good people of Jef- 1
ferson township, and now we
like them still better. We'll
wager our old hat against a bag 1
of penders that some good man 1
of Old Store township who I
voted against bonds will apply '
for a job on the roads of Jefferson
township before the job is t
completed?and he'll bti furned >

Wreck on the C., A. & W. <
A washout on the C , A. & W
about seven miles from the sta- .
tion at Charleston wrecked a ,
trough freight train Wednesday
night shortly after midnight, and j
the engineer, conductor, fireman 1
and head brnkeman were caught <
in the wreckage and severely <
bruised and scalded.
The wieck occurred near the ,
I A. C. L. crossing and the train 1
was moving slowly. It had
been raining several hours and
the low flat country resembled a i
river The washout removed
the dirt for about 15 feet on a
fill about 8 feet high. The en- i
gine plunged in and rolled over
on one side and the tender turn 1
ed completely over. On top of
this was piled four box cars.
Conductor Hugh Knight, of
McBee, was on the engine and
1 ? -
tie w.is caugnt in tlic debris and |
scalded by the boiling water so
severely that he has been in a
critical condition in a Charleston
hospital.
Engineer L. M. Ard ercaped
without serious injuries, though 1
he was bruised and
scalded painfully. Sam Wills
the negro fireman, and Jean
! Hendricks, brakeman, were i
I F
buried in the coal, dirt and other <
wreckage and had to be extrica 1
tep. Both will live. I
Mr. Sam Turner, of Pageland, '
the flagman, was in the cab at '
the rear of the train of 28 cars, 1
and he was thrown against a
stove and slightly scratched bv
the sudden stopping of the train.
He then waded waist deep in
water to the washout and began j
at once the work of rescuing ]
those who were pinned under |
the mass of debris. In doing ]
this work he stepped into a pool
rxf ?? ?1 ??,j *
ui nut ixuci sum scaiueu ins
right foot. He went with the .
other wounded ones to the hos
pital and remained a day or two
and then came home for a few 1
days.
The engine was a large new
one and the steel cab saved the
life of the fireman, and perhaps. k
vnrenc *i nd^lxluueu on uiar
end of the road is practically
new, having been completed only
a few months, and the land is
low and swampy.
Fortunately for the injured (
ones, there was a large crew of
section hands quartered only a <
short distance away. These
men were summoned at once
and they aided in extricating the
injured ones.
How American Commission Has
Saved People of Stricken Land
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Most persons on reading that
the American commission for
the relief of Relgium has raised
$65,000,000 and had managed to I
feed not only the 7,000,000 sufferers
there, but more than 2,- ,
000,000 in France, where the
Germans are in occupation, have
assumed that all this money had
come from the United States.
This is an error, but it is a fact
that it has been raised by the
American commission under
circumstances which have no
parallel in history and which
show that brains count for more
in a crisis.
At the start the commission
was almost helpless. Its activities
were confined to securing
provisions and distributing them
as carefully as possible whereever
they could reach the destitute,
but this was soon seen to
be a mere makeshift which
could not last long. What the
commission did was to organize
the finances and the industry of
Belgium, to erect a great banking
and commercial trading in
stitution whereby monev and
credit were exchanged for provisions.
Gold disappeared, but
there was an abundance of
paper money. The commission
made all who had the money
pay for food, and when money
was gone accepted credit slips.
Then they managed to get Germany
to agree to let the com
mission collect foreign debts to
frSlKia#! in gold and pay the
f
I
:re<jhtors in the paper money.
Eventually this extended much
further, so that Belgian industry
lias to some extent revived and
10 one is starving.
Here we have an instance of
foresight and organized^ intel
ligence which is unknown in
war history. It was American
organizing and executive capacity
which accomplished this.
Americans have contributed
largely of the money and provisions,
but less than $10,000,000
in all, although this has been
enough to keep the system
working, for the commission has
bought provisions and sold them (
at lower than London prices,
while the people have been
kept alive.

CHURCH NOTES
METHODIST PROTESTANT
Jno. W. Quick, Pastor
We were glad to have Rev
C. A. Cecil, president of the
North Carolina conference, with
us last Sunday at New Hope in
the morning and at Pageland in
the evening. He preached twc
excellent sermons, also gave us
good advice after the sermons.
Our revival services for this
place will begin on the fifth
Sunday in August. Rev. J. H
Moton, of Fallston, N. C. will be
our pulpit help.
Our appointment for nexl
Sunday will be at Rose Hill al
4 p. m.
BAPTIST, J. M. Sullivan. Pastor.
Regret so much that we could
not make it convenient to fill
Bro. Caston's appointment al
Jefferson last Sunday evening,
Also that we could not be al
Pageland Sunday morning tc
hear Bro. B. C. Ashcraft. Wc
are delighted to hear those whc
did hear him, saying such nice
things about his excell ent talk,
We are always glad to have Bro
Ashcrast and hope he can come
again.
Last Sunday at White Plains
the young people carried out the
Hospital Day program, gotten
out by the General Superintendent,
J. J. Gentry. After the pro
gram an offering was received
amounting to $6.41 to do charity
work in this institution. Lasl
December at the State Conven
lion at Charleston it was decided
by the Convention to raise
$6 ,000 to do charity work. And
up until this time every little ef
fort had been put forth to raise
this amount. So the first Sunday
in June had been set aparl
as Hospital Day in all the
diurches of the Convention.
MHMfe^rtain tho hone, th-.it thf
entire amount of $6,000 was
realized.
At the close of the services al
Plains we were glad to have
Mrs. A. F. Funderburk present
to take charge of the little folks
and organize a Sunbeam Band.
Their beginning is a record, in
numbers at least, as they had 28
to begin with.
In our Sunday school we had
105 in the classes.
At Center Grove school house
the congregation was the largest
in several months. Glad to see
?o many out. Come again.
Next Sunday, Pageland 11 a.

III?Telegraph
Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product oil this great commercial
age and the telegraph and telephone
systems of this nation crown
1 the industrial achievements of the
t whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
' skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
1 while warm from the mind of the inventive
genius have, under American
, supervision, spun a net-work of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas^
tered the known world and the telephone
has already conquered the

Beastaore ready to leap across the

No Industry In the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
[ In development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted a more powerful
1 influence upon the civilization of its
l day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of
. American genius?invention and organization.
* The industry was peculiarly fortun.
ate in having powerful inventive intellect
at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
, growth. It is the most perfect fruit
of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European contemporaries,
it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.
