C., under Postal Act of March 3,1879. August 18, 1918 This summer has not been quite as hot as last year, due perhaps to the scarcity of cam paign hot air. Automobile cranks who per sist in spading around corners and by the homes of people who live near the road should be fed on fodder and shucks as other asses are fed. Prohibitionists and anti pro hibitionists are not so far apart after all. Both believe liquor should be put down, but they differ as to the method. The latter believe swallowing is the only way. + The old fashioned method of working the roads with pick and shovel has had its day. Oc casionally one sees a stretch of road over which a few hands have gone with shovels, throwing little heaps of dirt here and 1 there and leaving the road in 1 worse condition than before. The road scrape or drag is the 1 only worth-while road imple { I meni mat nas been used here ' " abouts. 1 | ?? ? i ; Once more we feel it a duty to call attention to the need for 1 sanitary regulations in Pageland.

A mob variously estimated at between 25 and 75 in number overpowered Warden Smith and guards at the State prison farm j near here at 11 o'clock tonight ' and quickly got Leo M. Frank 1 and rushed him away in an automobile. Five men went to the house J of J. T. Smith, warden, covered him with pistols and stood guard i over him. Other men went to ] the house of J. M. Burke, super J intendent of the prison and held him under cover of their j guns. Practically every other member ot the mob then rushed to the stockade gate nearest the dormitory where Frank was being housed. Only yesterday did the physicians discharge him from the hospital where he had been since being muderous* ly assaulted in the dormitory. As on the night Frank was attacked only two guards were on auiy. The mob quickly overpowered Chief Night Guard Hester and the other man on duty, proceeded to the dormitory and within a few minutes seized Frank and rushed him back to the automobiles. A prisoner who was sleeping in the dormitory is responsible for the statement that the spokes man said the mob intended to take Frank to Marietta and that tomorrow morning his body would be found on the grave of Marv Phagan, for whose murder the prisoner was serving a life ii v .

FOR SALE A good proposition for some one. I am going to sell my Furniture Business in Pageland the only furniture business at this place, and I will rent to 1 the party who purchases the stock a brick storeroom 30 by 100 feet reasonable, good loca tion. i I sell a lot of furniture, but a man who would get in behind it and push it could do a lot more business. My reasons for selling are that I have a good many building to look alter and keep up and a farm to see after. I can not give the business the attention I shoi Id, and therefore I am going to sell.
