The Pageland Journal, September 6,1916 ? ===================== ( t \ Local News < i "Make hay while the sun * shines" seems to be the motto of a good many farmers just now. Cotton picking in the sand hill sections is in full swing, and it is 1 being: put on the market about as fast as it is picked. Pageland and Chesterfield will play ball at Chesterfield this ' afternoon. This will probably be the last game of the season j for the Pageland boys. , The rural police system in Chesterfield was rejected by the J people of the county in the pri . mary on the 2b of August by a vote of 1465 for it, and 1804 ) against. ^ The vote for governor in the first Democratic primary in ^ Chesterfield county was as follows: Blease 1700; Cooper 566; . DesChamps 38; Duncan 10; Manning 1307. Mr. J A. Kirkley who lives a i few miles from town killed a big i rattlesnake a few days ago, says the Jeffersonian. The snake t had eleven rattles and a button, was four and a half feet long and six and a half inches , around. Mr. W. A. Edmunds, who has i been editing and publishing the Jeffersonian at Jefferson for a < few months, has accepted a i position at Wilmington, N. C., and Mr. Andre Wollack, of j Eureka, S. C., has taken charge j of the Jeffersonian. 4 Last week The Journal receiv- ] ed a communication from a j "Center Grove Sunday School i Scholar" which was unsigned, ; and of course it went into the < waste basket. We must know i who writes an article before we i publish it. In Mt. Croghan township Messrs. W. R. Evans and G. D. Gulledge are in a second race for magistrate; G. H. Gulledge and W. J. Rayfield for township commissioner, and C. C. Burch and J. D. Baker for cotton weigher at Mt- Crogban. The fall term of the Pageland High school begins next Monday, September 11th. Prof, and Mrs. Dukes have arrived from' Cokesbury where they spent the vacation, and tl\p other teachers are expected in time to begin work Mondav. The science department of the high school is < to be enlarged by the use of ad < ditional text books and the in * stallation of apparatus for a J clearer presentation of the sub < ject matter. The teachers for ] this term are: G. B. Dukes, i principal; Miss Nora Boggan, 1 assistant principal; Miss Belle J Jones, 6th and 7th; J. C. Gathing, , 4th and 5th; Mrs. J. D.

He went in- 1 to North Carolina, where Constable Helms, Sheriffs Douglass and Griffith, and posse s of citizens endeavored to apprehend him Monday and Monday night. Haley's old home was in Lanes Creek township, but he had lived near Ruby this year. He ar.d his wife had been separated several weeks and he had been at work at Mr. Mack Keztah's saw mil), while his wife is said lo have found her another man. Haley went down Sunday afternoon, and after some words with his estranged spouse, opened fire as she started away and fired six shots,only two of which took effect. The woman was seriously hurt, but reports this morning say she will probably recover. Flalcy is still in hiding, and all efforts to catch him have been unsuccessful. c fF I Cotton sold on this market yesterday for 15 1-2 cents. Mr. J. Fred Edge worth left jeveral uavs ago for Badin, N. Z. where he has a position. Mrs. George Walters and :hildren, of Cheraw, visited at he home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. 3ato from Thursday until Mon lav.. All the candidates in the sec )nd race would like to have rou vote for them in the second primary. Look 'em over and ake your choice. Mr. Guy Watts was carried to i charlotte hospital Friday, where he underwent an oper ition for appendicitis Friday light. He is said to be recover ng nicely. Within seventeen hours from he time the polls closed last ruesdav the Journal had the remits, tabulated and summarized, ind the official count did not :hange the results. A postal inspector was here ast week making a new map of he three rural routes, and lookng into certain proposed changes. His report has not been ;iven out, and it is not known whether the changes will be nade or not. Saturday, September 30th is he annual work day for the orphanages of the State. On his day, as nearly everybody mows, the people, children and idults, are asked to pay what they make to one of the orphan iges. Surely we can spare one iav for the fatherless and notherless ones. The negro who shot Mr. Heroert McMillan in the face at his lome near Jefferson a few days igo, is still at large. Mr. McMillan was not seriously hurt, md has about recovered. The iegro lived across the road from Mr. McMillan, and shots were exchanged across the road, and t is thought the negro was hit n the mouth. There has been an epidemic )f diptheria in Lanes Creek ownship, and one death has resulted, that of 9-vear-old Lola meed, daughter of Mr. and M/s. f. C- Sneed. She died unexpectedly Sunday morning and the x>dy was buried at Philadelphia ehurch Monday. Six more of Mr. Sneeds' children had the iisease, as did one of Mr. Mack ECeziali's, one of Mr. Eugene Smith's, one of Mr. Hurley Rig ?ins\ and one of Mr. D. H. Parker's. All these are recovering:. ' If you buy a sack of flour which contains only 96 pounds, lon't imagine you are cheated n weights, for they say there is t law in this State forbidding my merchant to sell more than )6 pounds for the price of a sack.

Only Onco In Five Years Does Averags Trainman Exceed Legal Limit. That long hours in train service have been reduced to a minimum is shown by a report issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Only one em ploye in five on the average Inst year was compelled to remain on duty more than sixteen hours during any one day in the whole year. Stated in another way, the cli nee of un englnemnn or trainman remaining on duty beyond this prescribed limit was reduced to once in live years. The total number of cases of excess service from all causes reported to the commission was only <11,2-17 during the year ending June 30, 1013, as compared with 137.430 in 1914 and 270,827 in 1013, and with rare exceptions these represented cases recognized as due to unavoidable onuses. Statistics on this subject are collected by'the Interstate Commerce Commission under the national hours-of-service law. Every time a train is so delayed by a blizzard, washout or other cause that any part of the train crew is on duty longer than sixteen hours the railroad company must report the occurrence to the commission, giving the names of the individual employes concerned and a full statement of the cause for tln? excess service. For several years Mio inllmnds nnd the Interstate Commerce Commission have been co-operating in efforts to prevent the keeping of employes on duty for long periods. The reduction ' of nearly SO per rout, in such cases which lins been brought about in three years shows that the wdrking of men for long stretches of continuous service ] lias practically dlsappeuicd except in , rare cases <>f unavoidable delay.
