C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. August 18, 1915 This summer has not been quite as hot as last year, due perhaps to the scarcity of campaign hot air. ? ? Automobile cranks who persist 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 thr ? only way. The old fashioned method of working the roads with pick 1 and shovel has had its day. Oc casionally one sees a stretch of 1 road over which a few hands 1 have gone with shovels, throw- 5 ing little heaps of dirt here and * ^there and leaving the road in 5 worse condition than before. ' The road scrape or drag is the 1 only worth-while road imple c ment that has been used here N 1 abouts. n Once more we feel it a duty to call attention to the need for 1 sanitary regulations in Pageland. Open privies, hog pens, back a lots and ^surface^wells^ ^ taken to check the soil polution ^ which has been permitted.

A mob variously estimated at between 25 and 75 in number overpowered Warden Smith and guards at the State prison farm 8 near here at 11 o'clock tonight and quickly got Leo M. Frank ^ and rushed him away in an v automobile. Five men went to the house ? of J. T. Smith, warden, covered -v him with pistols and stood guard tl over him. Other men went to I the house of J. M. Burke, super * intendent of the prison and ? held him under cover of their c guns. n Practically every other mem- .. ber ot the mob then rushed to the stockade gate nearest the dormitory where Frank was being housed. Only yesterday did the physicians discharge mm rrom the hospital where he had been since being muderously assaulted in the dormitory. As on the night Frank was attacked only two guards were on duty. 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 tY* O r* ! wan aaiu me mob intended to take Frank to Marietta and that tomorrow morning his body would be found on the grave of Mary Phagan, for whose murder the prisoner was s irving a life sentence. \ | Second Galveston Flood.

London, Aug. 13.?Lord Robert Cecil, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in the course of a formal interview today, defining the British Government's attitude in the complication cotton situation made this statement: "The Allies must by all law ful means prevent cotton reaching their enemies; it may bb considered necessary to make cotton contraband." He refrained from any hint that the commodity would be removed from the free list at tiny specific date or that riu government had evolved an> solution to meet the demands ol \merican cotton growers and leutral consumers. He stated explicitly however that if cotton vere made contraband, England vould consider the act legal and nternationally j ostificd.

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 the party who purchases the stock a brick storeroom 30 by 100 feet reasonable, good loca tion. 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 busi ness the attention I shot Id, and therefore lam going to sell.
