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.
Evidences of the need for speedy
action are cropping out from u
time to time, and they should be 5
warnings to mend our wajs. a
Public sentiment should be so F
aroused that the enforcement v
of all needed regulations would y
be easy for the town authorities, ti
Leo Frank Lynched
Milledgeville, Ga., Aug. 16.?
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

would be found on the grave of

Cotton Must Be Kept From
Enemy.
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.
His statement, tile first in belalt
of the Government, outside
'gxliament relative to cotton,
nd coming at a time when the

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.
