"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.

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

John Haley, a negro, shot his \
wife twice in the back with a f
pistol at Ruby late Sunday after- '
noon, and escaped. 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

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

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

Sunday morning and the

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.
Recently an inspector work
ng under the Department of Agiculture
came around and held
jp all the 98-pound sacks of
lour he found vnn coo ili<>
nerchant is only observing the
aw if he buys % pound sacks,
>r takes out a couple of pounds
f there are 9K in the sack. At
he present price most of us
vould like for a sack to contain
ibout 50 pounds extra, ( but the
aw says %. and the law ought
o know what's best.

LONG HOURS A RARITY.
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
