Help someone wlio needs help,
and thus add much to the joy of
living,
The fall session of the Pageland
graded school closes today,
and the spring term begins on
Monday, January 3rd.
Mr. E. R. McKay, former
policeman here, has been elected
policeman at Jefferson to succeed
Mr. Robt. H. White, who
recently resigned to go into the
grocery business.
Today is said to be the short-:
est day in the year, Decemi
22nd is the time of the jprfnter
solstice. From this time^n the
days will gradually jfet longer
and longer until June 21st.
Rev. J. W. Elkins, the new M
E. pastor, and his wife arrived
Thursday and are now at home
in the parsonage. He filled his
appointments at Zion and Pageland
Sunday, and made a very
favorable impression on his congregation.
The paper will be published
next week, but we make absolutely
no promises as to the
kind of paper it will be. It is
Christmas you know, and if we
did no more work than most of
our readers will do there might
not be any paper at all. You
may expect the Journal, but
don't expect to see much in it.
Taking their friends by surprise
Mr. J. J. Mangum and Miss
Inez Plvler drove down to the
home of Rev. J. W. Quick last
Wednesday afternoon about 2
o'clock and were married. The
bride is a daughter of Mr. F. A.
Plyler of the Dudley section and
is attractive nd popular. The
groom is a son of
^ R" "A township,
and is and enterp ising young
farmer.
The fatal auto accident at
Monroe as reported elsewhere
should be a warning to careless
drivers. We can't say that the
driver was to blame, for we have
not the facts, but the thing oc
curred just the same. If the
brakes were at fault this is all
the more reason why there is

when or where it will be? It is
a thousand wonders many more
are not killed and wounded.

British Withdraw Troops
London, Dec. 20.?The announcement
of the British withdrawal
from Gallipoli overshadowed
all other war news tonight.
For the British public the
abrupt war office statement mark
the end of one of the great chap
ters of the war's history.
The shock of the news was
hardly broken by the fact that
rumors had been curreut in the
street for some days, and the
Withdrawal of the forces had
been a matter of widespread pro
and con discus:>ion ever since
Ijord Ribblesdale'sfarnousspeech
in Parliament in which he do
clared that withdrawal li.ul been
recommended by a hi^li military
authority.
JbuJ he feeling of the man in the
-treel was generally one of re
lief mixed \vtill regret. A popu
iar halfpenny paper sums up the
British public's attitude as ful
io\\ s:
]11 i !ius ends the enterprise c.f
, \vhiih the highest hopes weie
[ built and which, if it had suc.
ceecled, would probably have
turned the tide of the war. Our
i troops from the first to last were
within a few miles of victory.

TURTLES WERE DUCK BUND j
In Barrel Below Snappers Were Con- __
cealed Birds Being Shipped In
Violation of Law.
a
There are persons who take a ^
snapping turtle seriously, and, de- |a
spite his ill nature and tendency to remove
pink little fingers, learn his V
peculiarities and read his innermost
appetites. One of the latter is .lolin (l
B. Thompson, federal inspector un- g
der the migratory bird law, and he
knows mighty well that no turtle will
cat ice in any circumstances, A
says a St. IiOiiis (Mo.) dispatch to
Now York Herald. ^
Kcccntlv five barrels of live snap- ^
piug turtles arrived at the Union sta- j
tiou, consigned to purveyors to the j.
restaurant trade. Now, a turtle is not
a mi; ratory uiru. i ne barrels were j
filled in with ieo, and Inspector
Thompson could see the turtles C
stamping tluir feet, blowing hito (the:r
hands, throwing their shells iip t]
around their nocks, and making
every possible effort to keep comfort- lj
ahlc in the intense cold. J
"There is something in those bar- R
rels," said Inspector Thompson, a?l- e
dressing no one, "besides turtles. I i(
shall forthwith look into this matter, barrel
bv barrel/' This he did while ^
the snappers whistled through their
teeth to indicate that the heating j.
arrangements were not as advertised. ^
In the bottom of the barrels 8? wild
ducks, bound and gagged, were c
going whither they knew not. It is j
the closed season on migratory birds,
and the ducks ceased to migrate im- J
mediately. I
