The Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Mornings by The Journal Company C. M. Tucker, Editor Subscription Price - - $1.00 Entered as second class mail matter at the post otfice at Pageland, S. C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. May 31, 1916 Reports from certain sections of the country are to the effect that "speculators" are trying to contract for cotton and seed to be delivered next fall at 12 cents a pound for the coton and 60 cents a bushel for seed. This appears to be a good price, and many farmers will jump at the chance, while others will take the sensible view and let such propositions pass. Be patient with the candidate. He thinks he is winning your vote by his warm handshake and polite, friendly manner. You needn't tell him he isn't. Let him alone, and listen to him. Don't tell him you are sure he will not come within a mile of the winner, and then on the other hand, don't swear to him vnn will vnlp for him onH wnrlf your head off for him, and then go right along and tell the next one the same tale. Keep him guessing. ^ - NOT ENOUGH ROOM The crowded condition of the school auditorium here each night of the commencement ex ercises has doubtless impressed anew upon the minds of many the urgent need for more room. The auditorium is is not more than half large enough. Addi tional class rooms have become a necessity also. Three hundred and thirty pupils have been enr/%!1 nrl in Virv civ />1ncc />/% %*? *-!?? . 1V/1IVU 111 I11C OlA. 1.1(133 1UU1113 UU1ing the session which has just closed, and more than one hun " dred of these were in one room. If the school continues to increase in numbers as it has during the two last sessions the four hundred mark will soon be reached. Then where will the children be housed? We believe the people would approve a pan to build an annex to the old building or a separate building for ihe high school department if the need were impressed upon them. We believe that if the present auditorium could be made into two class rooms, and the stage converted into a music room, an annex should be erected with a large first-floor auditorium and perhaps a class room or two. A ground floor auditorium has certain advantages, and maybe disadvantages also, over the upstairs one. It is to be hoped that the need outlined above may be impress jd upon the minds of patrons and tax pavers to such an extent that there may be general discussion of the needs and the prospects of a remedy at no disf ant rlofn I MIA I UUIVl Cheraw Organizes Creamery Cheraw, May 28.?An enthusi \Btic meeting of progressive termers and live stock men and women was held here yesterday morning to investigate the creamery business.
