t?I A a
luereceni crisis mis cuunir\
faced in ihe German submarine
controversy served to show z
good many of us that we wert
not as much in favor of a scraj
as we thought. The war howl
ers have been on a vacation foi
a few days.
The continued dry weathei
makes the crop prospec
rather gloomy, but gooc
memories will recall that it ha;
not been many years since \vi
had a very dry spring, but ar
excellent crop year. It is not
too late to make a crop.
WHY NOT HAVE A FLYLESS
TOWN?
As the warm weather come;
the flies increase. Soon they will
be spreading typhoid and othei
diseases. Soon the little child
ren will be dying with diarrheal
diseases carried by health's most
active enemv. Screens, flv pa
per, fly killer in liquid and pow
tiered form, swatters, etc. are all
good and the more thev are used
the better, but these are not the
best remedy for the flv nuisance
and danger. Cle?.~ up the breed
ing p aces and the flies disappear
\ fl it hnf* n^oAti I ?a?
it nj nils ntvci comt 11110 existence
on strictly clean premises
There is always filth of soirti
kind. 'Hie favorite breeding
place is in the horse stable Ii
the stables were Kept clean tlu
other breeding places would
soon be cleaned up. There are
several solutions that may be
us d in the stables to prevent the
flies. These formulas may be
had from the Department of Ag
riculture at Washington. The
better plan, howeier, is to clear,
the stables often enough to prevent
the breeding of flies.
There are no more flies in
Pageland than in other towns,
but there are (or will be) about
ten milllion too many. If the
people want it so, Pageland can
be made a flyless town. The
effort usually expended in fight
ingthe pests if rightly directed is
sufficient to prevent them Do
the people want this to be the
most remarkable town in the
Garolinas? If so we shall have
more to say as to the methods.
The farmer who lives apart
from neighbors can prevent flies
if he will. Flies do not go far,
and the flies a man is troubled
with are of his own raising.
U. S. Accept* Germany's Proi~
ise
Washington, May 8.?A note
cabled by Secretary Lansing to
Ambassador Gerard today for
delivery to the Berlin Foreign
Minister informs the German
Government that the United
States accents its "declaration of
its abandonment" of its former
submarine policy and now relies
upon a scrupulous execution of
the altered policy to remove the
principal danger of an interup
tion of the good relations exist
ing between the two countries.
With this acceptance is
coupled formal notice to Ger
many that the United States can
not for a moment entertain,
m ? I "**
uiuvu icss uiscuss, a suggestion
thai respect by German naval
authorities for the rights of citi
zens of the United States on the
high seas should in the slightest
degree be made contingent upon
the conduct of any other Gov
ernment affecting the right of
the neutrals and non combat

Much Road Work Has Been
Done
The chain gang has been
coved to Jefierson township. It
was kept in Old Store from February
28th until May 5th, and
during the time only one day
| was lost. Seventeen miles of
i sand clay roads have been built,
and ten miles of roads repaired.
I It has been estimated that the
cost of building a mile of sand
clay road is $300. At this figure
the 17 miles amount to $5,100,
and estimatfng the repair work
. at $400 we have a total of $5,500.
About $300 of road tax has been
spent through the efficient town
1 ship commissioner, Mr. J. E.
; Agerton, and nearly all the free
> labor for the year has been used.
. Along with this the people have
r given much valuable assistance
It is estimated that the people
have furnished an average of
ten teams a day for the time the
r gang has been in the township.
I This would be worth about
1 $1400. It is further estimated
; that the free labor at a dollar a
, day would amount to about $400
The cost ol the gang for this pe
1 riod is said to be about $1,000
^ The total cost of the work then
seems to be about $3,100, and
the work is valued at about
? $5,100, a difference of $2,000.
Work has been done on the
; following roads: Pageland to
I Lynche's river by J. A. Arants, a
mile from Five Forks toward
the river on the Tradesville
road; from J. C. Sanders' home
t bv Crowburk and Dudley to the
river; from Crowburk to Asher
Plyler's; from Crowburk to State
I line; from Five Forks to Hills
I Creek; Hicks road from near R.
. .V. Cato'stoT. J. Rodgers'; from
. J. N. Sowell's to Cooke's Mill;
Jefferson road from the Cooke's
mill road to the Jefferson town
. ship line.
The people in each section
manifested a spirit of hearty co
operation, and the work was
i rushed from start to finish.
On last Wednesday night the
I good people of the White Plains
. community gave a supper to the
convicts. There was an abund.
ance of good wholesome food
. and the 'hard-worked unfortu
nates had a feast,
i There are now nine townships
in the county. Dividing the
. time of the gang equally among
all there will be a month and
! ten days to the township each
year, or two months and twenty
t days once in two years. Old
, Store has received nearly her
share during the term of the
. present supervisor, and the peo
Die are very much obliged to
Mr. King for giving them what
, they are entitled to.

CRISIS Hi ROADS
IN THE MOVEMENT
: FOR filGHER WAGES
; Would Add Millions to Expenses Of
Southeastern Lines?Public
Vitally Interested.
Washington, d. C.?"The railways
of the southeast are facing a critical
! situation in the proposed demands of
> the engineers', iiiremen's, conductors'
- and trainmen's Brotherhoods which
have joined in a nation-wide effort to
force the railways of the country to
' j grant further wage concessions,
which wouhl add millions of dollars
. to the payrolls of the railways without
enabling them to earn a cent
more than under present conditions
or to in any way give better service
to the public," declares a statement
! given out by the executive committee
of the southeastern railways.
j "The demands of the Brotherhoods
are generally referred to as demands
for an eight hour day and time and
a half for overtime, but they are not
in reality for an eight hour day in
the sense in which that term is comi
monly understood,'" the statement
j continues. "The employees are not
j asking that they be relieved from
service at the end of eight hours, as
hey rtnli/.o that this is not practical.
Ie in road service, and the form in
' which the demands have been made
, clearly shows this.
More Pay For Overtime
"Thus the language of their own
propoed demands is that on runs of
. one hundred miles or less overtime
; will be-in at the expiration of eight
| hours. This simply means that if a
: freight uvtn re wires, as it usually
j loes, at least 10 hours to run 100
J miles, the train and engine employees
liall receive their day's pay for eight
i .ours of work and shall receive time
ml a half for the two additional
i hours.
"There is not a line in the proposals
concerning road service that
in any way limits the number of
hours the cmp'oyees are to work,
:mi their proposition simply resolves
' tiro if into tl.cing the period at which
I overtime begins to adcrue and after
u..-ii uu'v Miaii receive time and a
>aL' instead of their regular hourly
rate.
In a discussion of the proposed
deinait h; in the official journal of the
rrainmen's organization, the follow.ng
explanation of the demands Is
! given hy one of ihe vice-presidents
of that Brotherhood:
" 'There appears to be some difference
of opinion as to what such a
I proposal involves, therefore it may be
| seasonable to say that there is quite
a diff rente between an eight-hour
t work-day and an eight-hour basic
I work-day.
" 'Tlie first contemplates that eight
i hours shall be the maximum working
! time, anil as a rule where the eight|
hour work-day obtains through con!
f ra '-t Koi u *
? ucmccil ?-li11?I?ur .11 HI
einidoyes, it is the constant enileavor
lo prevent working overtime except
in cases of necessity. It appears that
some of t)ie men in the train service
are of 11 jo opinion that this is the
proposal of the organizations. However,
tills is not the case. The second.
the eight-hour basic work-day
. i contemplates that eight hours Bhal.
1 he the. basis for a clay's work and
any ti:n< in excess thereof shall be
paid for as overtime, consequently
under such a provision there is no
.j limit to the hours worked. The lattcr
system is the one proposed by
11m train service Brotherhoods and
1 is in noc-ord with the action taken by
the delegates, at the Eleven'h Biennial
Contention of the Brotherhood
! of Railrc md Trainmen.*
Same Work, More Money
I "The proposals of the employees,
. ' as in !< lity formulated and official
ly explained in tho above citation,
| simply mean that they shall be paid
more money than at present for the
' . an work they are now doing. The
rearer, therefore, resolves Itself
primarily into a question of wages
and roe cquimlyof increased cost.
"App'yiny. the proposed demands
1o the present conditions of work
would l.tr rin an increase ranging from
12 to 10 per cenl in cost, as the roads
\vd;?M he compiled in most cases to
cpT.i'n'-o the present hours of operatic:
ince chances to escape the
*?:iy ' in <if overtime would cause a
| hi: lie1* perccntago of increase than
jthi !i;Mir- already given.
' "Tim mdway ; of the southeast are
- In .:> ciidition to stand any increase
?, 11 '-iT* operating expenses, much
| lc h nnvases as would result
; fro: "r..i:tii:i? these demands. They
e.'r adv pay higher wages to train
and n i';? employees than are paid
( In 'In - actions of the country
wlvre 11 : file is much more dense,
at d t! v hrve had no part In the
rat increases v.hich recently have
1km -i granted l?y the Interstate Comn
< (' >m mission to railways In other
f iritorien.
"i rcMtr.inary estimates show that
i on rotr. linen the increases asked by
tl employes would more than wipe
ou< all income after pavment of
ope- *?t'n : evp<-nses, fix d charges
a id t r:\es. The ral'wa.vs would be
' fin<"d < i lier to secure Increases In
. the'- rater or to lower their cost of
operation l?y curtailment of train service
nnd reducing tiie outlay for maintenance
and improvement necessary
| to moot the transportation needs of
the rapidly developing southeastern
territory.
"TP's is a question in which the
'who' prhllr has n direct and vital
lnti . t The railways of the southerr
t merely ask of the public that ft
t Inf .1 "i *' o'f of the real nature of the
It,, pored demands, nnd of the ability
1 pi the road.- to meet them"
