Mr. Carl Atkinson, son of Mr. G. H. Atkinson, and Miss Hennie Mills, daughter of Mr. C. W. Mills, both of the Providence section, were married bunday morning at 10 o'clock hy Notary S. W. Watts at Zion church. They are popular and worthy young people. A part of the ordinances of the Town of Pageland was printed in this paper last week, and it was stated that it would be continued this week, but the offi cials decided the town was too poor to pay four cents an inch to have the laws published. This is the reason this matter is not in this paper.

Dawkins, Frank Funderburk, John and Vick Graves are engaged in saw mill ing near Middendorf. Mr. Dawkins was at home yesterday, and stated that they are just now ready for work. He called in and got the stationery we had printed for him. He cairied away a bundle of newspapers also, as he said there was nothing to read where he is boarding. Mrs. Lovedean Manguro, vviaow 01 tne late Mr. J. F. Mangum, died at Lancaster Monday morning from pneumonia She had been sick several days. She was about 55 years old, a member of Zion Methodist church for many years. She formerly lived in this county a few miles down Black creek but moved to Lancaster two or three years ago, where her husband died last March. Three daughters and four sons survive.

Coroner Atkinson held an inquest over the body of a 2-weeksold negro child last Thursday. The child had been buried about a week, but as reports of foul play were being circulated, he had the body exhumed and held an inquest. Dr. Teal, of Chesterfield, examined the bodv and testified that in his opinion the child died from natural causes and that he found no evidence of foul play. Susie Redfearn is the mother of the child, and she was suspected. No evidence was produced, however, to juslify the on<| jjig ',vwj ?et 'fWi | . ! /;' \ i % Cotton 11.60. Seed $2.00 Mr. and Mrs. S. I. Evans, of LaGrange, N. C., arrived yesterday to make Pageland their home. Farmers are plowing for tne new crop when the land is drv enoi'gh, and sometimes wlipn it isn't. Fertilizer is beginning to move again, which brings to mind the fact that the season for another crop is just ahead. The good roads meeting here yesterday appointed a committee to confer with Supervisor King in regard to work to be done on the road from Pageland to the McManus bridge. The committee is composed of the following gentlemen: A. F. Funderburk, T. E. Cato, P. M. Arant and L. L. Parker. A great many season chautauana tirkpts hava Uon -J ? ?

A petition is being circulated in Chesterfield school district asking the legislature to author ize an additional 5 mill Ipw for five years in that district to raise $5,000 to be used in building an annex to the school building at Chesterfield. This would make the school levy 17 1-2 mills in that district. It would probably surprise vou to know how well our subscribers are paying up this year. Our list is in the best shape it has ever been. For this kindness on the part of our readers we are indeed thankful. There are a few yet, however, who have neglected to renew. Now is the time. Mr. Parker Thompson, who lived 2 miles west of Angel us, died Sunday morning about 7 o'clock from kidney trouble, jjjgjwffi about 7(> years old, was a Confederate veteran, and a prominent farmer. He was never married. Only one brothc r survives, Mr. John 0. Thorap son, of Texas. The body was buried at the family burying ground Monday at 2 o'clock. On the first Monday in Febru jirv. thp 7tli the P tri ? ' ? , >U| >uv w. u. u. laiuuuu will run a special train from Pageland to Cheraw, leaving Pageland at 6:30 a. m., Mt. Croghan at 7.05, Ruby at 7.20, Chesterfield 7.45, and arriving at Cheraw at 8.30 in time to connect with the Seaboard train for Col umbia to accommodate people desiring to attend the Laymen's Missionary convention in Columbia. In another column is an article taken from the Lancaster News telling of an operation upon a Mrs. Steele bv whirb a ? tumor was removed. Most of the folks will be ready to brand that as a lie, pure and simple, but maybe not. Mayor R. H. Nelson says this lady lived in his ncighboreood when he was a young man and that he has known her all his life. His brother, Mr. Theo Nelson, visited him a few davs ago and told him all about this operation before it was reported in the papers. If you doubt the truth of anything in this article, go tell Mr. N.T^.1. 1-* VISUM. Hon. W. F. Stevenson made a fine addres bearing on the work of the Laymen's Mission ary movement at the Haptist church here last Sunday. His address was a clear and forceful statement of the missionary work ot the laymen, and of the needs of the various missionary organizations. Those who heard him r?rnrmHnr>o/l iKo r>,\ r. v.aVMIIW\4 uiv nu dress a masterly one. He was introduced by Hon R. E.

Columbia, Jan. 29. Mr. Editor?I promised that last week I would say something: through your columns about the Asylum situation, but on ac count of being sick I failed to make up the communication, and I guess by this time your readers have heard all about this institution. I will say however, tV*/> " ?aa * * *? mm uic aiuic is 'dllUIIipiin^ lO TC deem itself so far as it can in the care of this class of unfortunates. The former principle of the institution seemed to be to make a prison or dumping place for undesitables of families, where these unfortunates were placed inside of walls to live out a few miserable days, with a very meager attention or onlv such attention as could be given them by au insufficient number of attendants. The idea of the Leg islaiure now seems to be to make the institution truly a IIos pital, where patients afflicted with mental diseases may be cured and returned to their homes in a normal condition. We are working right along now. Killing a lot of proposed ? ?*_j icKiaiauuu. naa me elections last week, which look up a lot of time. The most important measure now up before the House is the proposed Highway Commission bill. This bill seeks to create a law in this state to conform to the Federall Highway act, in which the Federal Government aids in the laying out. building and maintaining a system of permanent roads. The bill before us would levy a tax upon all automobiles and motor, driven vehicles. One third of which goes to a state highway commis sion and two thirds to the coun4.. t - iy 11oiii wnicn 11 came. There has been a lot of debate on this measure but up to date no vote has been taken and I have no idea of its -outcome. It shows however, that the people are waking up to this importants fea; ture of a constructive policyol our Governments aftafrs." ~ <11 The higher institution of learn * ing in this state are coming in for a good share of attention this year. There being a lot of division of sentiment in regard to u_1 1_ ? - me awnuiarbinp ana iree tuition features of the different colleges. There are those who think that the wealth of the state are deriving the benefit from scholarships and these are proposing the abolition of the free tuition beneficiary scholarships. Some think that the state schools should charge tuition and take notes from deserving students; I don't know the strength of these dif ferent ideas, but I believe something will be done to prevent fraud in obtaining these benefits, - - x nere are lots ot other impor-1 tant measures before the House, ; but I have'nt space to write about these this time.
