The idea of a township or community
fair for the several towns
of the county is a splendid one.
Mt. Croghan is taking the lead
in this movement. Mr. P. M.
Therrell, the new cashier of the
bank at that place is taking the
lead, and it is to be hoped that
the people will cooperate with
him and the others who are mai-2

Kiug uu eiiuu iu uigauiw a iucal
fair association. Pageland,
Jefferson, McBee, Patrick and
Cheraw might follow this example
with profit. A 3 day
chautauqua has been booked to
come to Pageland again in the
fall. The dates might be so arranged
that the fair could be
held during the chautauqua, and
thus have three days of community
betterment sure enough.
So many people would attend a
local fair who would not have
the time or inclination to go to
the county fair, and then there
would most likely develop a
healthy township rivalry in exhibits
at the county and thus
increase the interest in the county
fair.
ABOUT NOTICES OF SAI^E
A few months ago a certain
piece of property in Pageland
was sold under mortgage al
about half its value. The mas
ter's notice of sale was publish
ed in a paper in another section
of the county and not one in twc
hundred in this section knew
anything about the sale untii ii
was over. Right now propert>
in?Pagdhuid -is -advertised foi
sale in the Chesterfield Adver
tiser, the sale to be on the firsi
Monday in ]une. Also there is
a notice of sale of property, ir
the Jefferson section in the same
paper. These are not the onl\
examples ot this kind that mighi
ue cuea. i nis paper lias beer
in existence nearly six years an<]
during the time six notices ol
sale by the master of the county
have been published. Any one
who attends the legal sales 01
notes them as they occur knows
this is far less than the numbei
of sales in this section during
this period.
The Journal claims a Iargei
circulation in Pageland and ad
jacent territory than any othei
publication, local or otherwise,
and stands readv to substantiate
the claim when necessary. II
this claim be true, then this paper
is entitled to the notices ol
sale of property in the section
where the above claim holds
good. Not only is the paper enI
titled to this, but the people are
entitled to have them published
in the paper which they read.
It is not fair to the people for
these sales to be advertised in
other sections of the county to
clear the law without really giving
notice to the most probable
purcnasers. What we say for
the Journal and the people of
Pageland applies to the lelfersonian
and the people of Jefferson
if the Jeffersonian has a
larger circulation there than any
other county paper.
When interrogated along this
line Master Murray states that he
is not responsible, that the lawyers
write the sale notices, sign
his name and give them to the
?>apers before he ever sees them,
n that case, the other lawyers
are to blame for this. Of course,
under the law, they have a ri^ht
to give them to the paper of
their selection, but the people
have certain rights also.
A copy of this article will be
mailed to each lawyer in the
county, and we hope it will
serve to call attention to this
matter so that there may be no
further cause lor complaint.

700,000 Jews in Poland Are In
[Urgent Need
Berlin, Mav 22.?Of the normal
total of about 2,450,000 Jews
in Poland, Lithuania and Courland,
some 1,770,000 still remain,
and of this number, about 700,000
are in urgent and continuous
want. About 455,000 of these
are in Poland, and 50,000 of this
number are persons who are
without homes and in particularly
distressing circumstances.
The - number of the needy is
increasing from month to month,
opportunities to earn money are
few, and thousands who are still
living on their savings will,
sooner or later, find these exhausted
and become dependent
on charity.

MAKE GOOD WAGES
IN SHORT HOURS
IN TRAIN SERVICE
Some Interesting Figures As To Actual
Earnings Of Men On
Southeastern Roads.
Washington, D. C.?In connection
with the movement or train and engine
employes for increased wages,
a frank statement of the earnings of
men employed in freight service ^in
the southeastern territory will doubtless
be of interest.
For engineers the prevailing minimum
rate in through freight service
ranges from $5.15 to $5.65 per day
for engines of ordinary types, in local
freight service from $5.25 to $6.00 for
engines of ordinary types, in both
through and local freight service
from $6.25 to $7.00 for Mallet type
engines.
For white firemen on engines of
ordinary tvnps th?* minimum mto
ranges from $2.75 to $3.50 per day in
through freight service, from $3.00 to
$3.60 in local service; on Mallet
engines in both through and local service
from $4.00 to $4.25.
For conductors the standard minimum
rate In through freight service
Is $4.10 per day, in local service $4.50
per day.
For white brakemen the standard
rate in through freight service is
$2.75 per, in local service $3 per day.
The foregoing are the minimum
daily rates that must be made by the
railways to each employee in the
classes named who does any work at
all in a day, irrespective of how few
hours he may be on duty or of how
few miles he may actually run. These
rates are paid for any work up to
100 miles with additional pay for
overtime if the run is not completed
in the specified number of hours.
On the other hand, the earnings of
employees frequently exceed these
figures as the actual earnings depend
upon the number of miles run and, in
the case of fast freight runs, the
earnings are much higher for comparatively
short hours.
Taking as an illustration a fast
freight train running over a division
150 miles long where the daily run
can be made in 7 hours and 30 minutes,
the engineer would receive for
this 7 1-2 hours on duty the sum of
$8.10, the fireman $4.70, the conductor
$6.15, and the white brakeman
$4.10.
Thus while the first figures show
the minimum that can be paid an
engineer, fireman, conductor, or
brakeraan for a day's work, the latter
figures show the wages that can
be and are being made by train and
engine employees on fast freights on
loQg divisions, such as are being run
in regular service by a
number of roads in the southeast for
handling live stock, perishables, and
other freight which .it is necessary
to move on expedited schedules.
In yard service the standard rates
for white employees vary from $3.00
to $3.60 per day for day switchmen,
and from $3.20 to $3.70 for night
switchmen, and from $3.50 to $3.80
for day foremen, and from $3.70 to
$4.00 for night foremen. These are
the minimum rates that can be paid
for a day or any part of a day up to
10 hours, after 10 hours pro rata overtime
is paid.
Under the men's proposals the lowest
yard employees who now receive
$3.00 for a 10 hour day would receive
$3.00 for an 8 hour day, or
$4.12 for the work at present performed
in 10 hours, and the night
yard conductor now receiving $4.00
for his 10 hour day would receive
this $4.00 for his 8 hour day, or $5.50
for the work at present performed In
10 hours.
100,000,000 Paralyzed
Just as the railroads have begun to
make money, after several hard years,
they are threatened with a great
strike. Four national railroad unions
threaten to tie up every steam road
in the country. The number of employees
Involved may total 400,000.
They seem to have It in their power
to stop all freight and passenger traffic
on 250,600 miles of track.
We have never had a strike of such
scope and magnitude. It would paralyze
all American industry and commerce
and stop our export trade. A
nation or iuu,uuo,uuo people would
stand still, while its biggest industry
fought out a question of wages and
hours. A deadlock would be inconceivably
destructive.?Bangor (Me.)
News.
A Railway Break Down.
In the case under consideration, If (
the engine and trainmen should win
their point, it would he but another
step towards a general railroad breakdown,
and that would mean eventual j
government ownership. |
The railroad employee who assists
in any move of that sort, 6nce he
became a government employee
would undoubtedly spend a goodly
part of his time when off duty In
trying to find how many kinds of a
donkey he had made of himself.?Atlanta
Iron Tradesman.
The Wrong Theory.
To pursue a dispute a* to hours
and wages on the theory that workingrmen
are entitled to all that can
be forced from employer* and extorted
from the people by employers 1b
not the best way to promote the permanent
welfare of labor.?New York
