Pageland is the remarkable
town of Chesterfield county.
The progress made in the section
surrounding this thriving town
during the past eight years has
been wonderful. The sand hills,
once considered worthless, have
become about the most desirable
lands in the whole section. Land
that once was considered a liability
rather than an asset has
been transformed into productive
soil of the most desirable tvDe.
People who once-knew this section
but have been away for ten
or fifteen years can hardly
believe their own eyes when
they come back. On the spot
known to them as the "Fox
Place" they find a beautiful little
town with broad streets, many
substantial bick business houses
and scores of pretty homes.
Good farming districts surround
Pageland on every side;
honest, prosperous farmers till
^^these farms; kind neighborly
^H^|rolelive in die town; fairly
^^^^R^^dhcoUo^S5^eed mariteff
to say nothing ot butter, eggs
and chickens; there are four
churches in the town and a num-'
ber of others within a few miles;
a magnificent school building
adorns the eastern section of the
town; seven faithful teachers instruct
about two hundered children
day after day for nine
months in the year; three ministers
of the gospel reside within
the borders of the town; no lawyers
can make their bread here;
two doctors live here but the
people are too healthy for them
to get rich; an abundant supply
oi clear, sparkling water is in
easy reach of well diggers; drainage
is natural and almost perfect,
the town being built right
on the highest ridge in the
county, where five prominent
streams rise; there are eighteen
business houses where one may
buy any article trom a bar of
soap to a steam engine; two
splendid hotels; one restaurant;
three or four sales stables; two
blacksmith shops; one shoe shop:
two wood working plants; two
corn mills; one garage; one ginning
plant; the best bank in the
county; two cotton warehouses;
one bottling plant; one meat
market; one barber shop; a postoffice
and the best newspaper
in the county. (We think)
All good people dre welcomed;
all sorry ones should leave.

President Begins Defense Campaign
New York, Nov. 4.?President
Wilson opened the administra
tion campaign for its national defense
programme in a camprehensive
and carefully prepared
address delivered here tonight
at the Manhattan club banquet.
He declared solemnly that the
United States had no aggressive
purposes, but must be prepared
to defend itself in order to assume I
"full liberty and self development."
Significantly, he said that
,4\vith ourselves in this great
matter we associate all the peoples
of our own hemisphere,"
adding that "we wish not only
for the United States but for them
the fullest freedom ot independent
growth of action."
The president was received
with enthusiastic applause as he
entered the banquet hall and
during his address. The hall was
decorated with American flags
and filled even to the galleries
with Democrats happy over their
victory on Tuesday in New
York city. When the president
arose to speak, everj- one got up
and applauded until he was forced
to signal for quiet.
"Within a year," said the president,
"we have witnessed what
we did not think possible, a great
European conflict involving
many of the greatest nations of
the world. The influence of the
great war are everywhere in the
air. All Europe is in battle.
Force everywhere speaks out
and from one end of our oWn
dear country to the other men
are asking one another what our
own force is, how far we are prepared
to maintain ourselves
| against any interference with our
| national action or development."
The president called upon "men
of all shades of political opinion"

Me said it represented
"the best professional and expert
opinion/of the country" and gave
warnings that "if man differ with
and in what way the^ are interested
in making ,>Ke permanent
interests of the country safe
against disturbance."
There is no need for the country
to feel panic stricken, the
president declared, because it
stands in friendly relations with
the world. He spoke of the
United States as a "nation too big
and generous to be exacting, but
yet courageous enough to defend
its rights,"
Hard,to Fill.
"Mister Jedge," said the old
colored citizen who came into
the justice's court leading a
small negro by the coat colar.
"Mister Jedge, wish vou'd please,

"What do you mean?" asked
the astonished justice, according
to The Pittsburg Chronicle.
"What has he been doing?"
"Eatin' me out er house en

TEACH COLTS FAST WALKING
Best Results Are 8ecured With Ank
mals Full of Spirit That Want to
Get Along Rapidly.
A slow moving colt can be taught
to walk fast by hitching it besldo a
fast walker and urging it to keep up.
although it requires good handling to
Aki.l- A "
uumiii iuu success with this method.
The best results are secured with
animals full of spirit that want to
move rapidly. At the same time a
young horse that is full of ipirlt, if it
is allowed to work too har-1, will become
too tired, lose its ambition and
develop into a slow walker. The best
training is to use the young stock at
such light work that they can move
along rapidly without feeling it, let
ting them have only enough of it so
that they will get into the habit of
moving rapidly and keep up the trait
after they are older.

TALKS OF SUBMARINE AUTO
< ,
Inventor Has Idea of 8ubmerslble
Which He Believes Will Prove
to Be Wonder.
An improved submersible which
he is confident will revolutionize even
the comparatively new science of undersea
fighting is being worked out
by Simon Lake, inventor of the even
keel submarine. Lake's new invention
is nothing more nor less than a
submarine auto, a submersible craft
that will run for many miles on the
sea's bottom. To prevent pounding
by ground swells, the wheels are suspended
on swinging arms with a
cushioning cylinder.
One hundred of these craft on the
Atlantic coast, fifty on the Pacific
and fifty to guard our colonies and
to undertake aggressive warfare in
the enemy's own country would be
sufficient, believes the inventor, _ to
render the United States impregnable
from attack. It is Lake's
idea that we must put our navy unr
der water before an invader doesl it
with shot and shell. M
The submarine auto would
equipped with a diving bell,
free of water by compressed aip^V
are caissons used in constructing tfl
foundations of bridges and hifl
buildings. From out of the be*
divers would operate to lay mini
directly under the vessels of a hostill
fleet. 1
An auxiliary system of underset
supply stations is also contemplated
in Lake's new system of national do
fense.
WAR AS IT IS NOW CONDUCE
Very Different From the
When Men Met In Conflfl^^^
Hand to Hand.
"Where, then, is the
men who are fighting?"
"Over there, underground
trenches." M
"Where are the reserves, the reenforcements
?"
"Hidden and masked in the m
lages behind the first line."
"And the commissary?" J

equipped and prepared accordingly
They are easy to recognize, these, because
the weight and volume of th?
luggage they carry is always less thai
the weight and volume of the papers,
credentials and identification cardf
with which they are armed for th?
task of penetrating into the zone oi
military operations.
"For, happily, between all of then
and the front there are still the th>

HER OWN FAULT.
"Justice/' remarked the boardei
who was a victim of the pro vert
habit, "is blind."
"Serves her right," rejoined the
man with the auburn nose at the foot
of the table. "She ought to brace
up and indulge in an occasional eye*
opener."
HI8 EXPERIENCE.
Giles?Marriage is a failure.
Miles?How do you know? You
have never been up against the matrimonial
game.
Giles?That's how I know. You
gee, the girl refused me.
CONTRADICTORY EVIDENOE.
"This clock will last you a lifetime."
"How can it when I 6ee already
that its hours are numbered."
| HIS QUALITY.
'The Minnehaha had a commander
of spirit in Captain Claret/'
"Yet he didn't show any of the
whine about him."
THE FA8HI0N.
"This sympathy for convicts seems
to be all the rage just now."
"Exactly. All the girls even are
wearing stripes."
THE REAL FACT.
They say Jones failed for fifty
thousand dollars."
<rNo, he didn't; he failed for the
