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. September 20, 1916 With this issue this paper begins its seventh year. On the front page you may find "Vol 7.

You may notice that the numbers change weekly and run from one to fifty two, and that the volume number changes but once a year. ^ A good many people who live in the country have a horror of receiving a "dun." This paragraph is just to give a gentle hint to quite a number of our good friends who are sensitive on this point that the safest way is to look carefully after that little subscription account we so generously carried over for you. Soon we shall mail out a few little slips of paper showing the standing of the subscriber addressed, and it might be possible, you know, that one of these would be dropped into your box. To prevent such a calamitv ?well Syou know what to do. Thank you, sir, in advance. + Everyone we have heard speak about the matter is highly in favor of the proposed motor car seryice on the C. & L. road whereby double daily passenger and mail service would be established. It seems that the only thing lacking now is just the motorcar. We hope Mr. Lane can see his way clear to vield to the wishes of the people in this matter at an early date. ^ The cotton market here has been drawing the attention of sellers quite a distance away for the past few days. Men who had not sold cotton here since the da} s of Bruce have been seen here with cotton. The Journal goes to press before the market opens on Wednesday morning, so Tuesday's market is given. By the time the paper reaches you, the market may be much higher or lower. -? ^ The farmers who plauted some long staple cotton this year wish they had planted more. It is said that it is mak ing just as much per ^cre, and selling enough higher to make one's mouth water when it be longs to the other fellow. It would probably be a safe but that more of the stuff will be planted next year. "Georgia Cyclone" Lecturer Comes to Pageland Friday Will D. Upshaw, a lecturer of rare wit and eloquence, is coming to Pageland to lecture Fri day afternoon and Friday night The afternoon lecture will be to the school and to any others who will attend, and will be free. The lecture at night will be at 8:30, after preaching service at the Presbyterian church. The admission will be 35 and 15 cents. Family tickets $2 00. A $5 golu piece to the man who goes to sleep, probably T. B. Watts, P. M. Kodgers or J. R. Cato. Upshaw has been a Chautauqua lecturer, but is now on his own "hook." Below we give a few of the many complimentary things which might be said ot him: Will D. Upshaw is the only man who has ever drawn bigger crowds than I have up among my native mountains?Senator "Bob" Taylor. - It was a choice between Jhe ppening night of a big stfeef^r cus and Will D. Upshaw, the "Georgia Cyclone,*' and the Georgia product won. He simply ran over that circus. When Will D. Upshaw takes a notion he can come nearer knocking me off the Christmas tree with big chunks of fun or making me crv my eyes out than most anybody I know. I positively don't know his equal for this sort of thing in all this country. They call him "The Georgia Cyclone," and no wonder, for there is a breeze of big proportions wherever lie goes. Whether as a convulsing entertainer or as a fearless and eloquent champion of civic _ 1_ a T I < rignieousness, upsnaw eiecirmes his crowd and sweeps them into uplifting enthusiasm. President Attended Sister's Funeral Service In Columbia Columbia, S. C., Sept. 17.? The funeral cf Mrs. Annie Howe of Philadelphia, only sister of President Wilson will be held in the First Presbyterian church of Columbia Monday noon, on arrival of the Seaboard Air Line train from the North, due at 11:35 a. m. The funeral party will procede directly trom the Seaboard station at Gervais and Lincoln streets to the Jchurch, at Lady and Marion streets. A brief service will be conducted by the pastor, the Rev. A. W. Blackwood, with the assistance of the Rev. Thornton Whaling, D. D., president of Columbia seminary. Interment will be made in the family plot at the center of the churchyard. The committal service, which will be private, will be brief and simple. President Wilson has intimat. ed to friends in Columbia, to whom the making of arrange ments for the funeral was intrusted, that it will accord with his late sister's desires and his own it no official cognizance be taken of the occasion. He comes not as President but as a bereft brother, I'cturning to his old home to bury his only sister. Honors which would otherwise be paid him therefore be omitted out of deference to his preferences and those of the familv. The funeral party after the interment will 1 proceed, some to the private cars parked at the Seaboard station, others probably to apartments which have been reserved at the Jefferson Hotel. Most ot those expected have undergone severe and continuous strain during the long period in which Mrs. Howe lingered in a critical condition. They will leave Columbia at 6:15 o'clock tomorrow evening via the Seaboard Air Line. Flowers will be sent to the church Monday morning between the hours of 9 and 11. The following have been in vited to serve as pallbearers: James Woodrow, Douglas Mc Kay, McDavid Horton, Julius H. Taylor, M. D., Reed Smith and Joseph Hyde Ptatt. Dr. Pratt is a colleague of George flowe in the faculty of the North Carolina State University. He will join the party in Raleigh tomorrow morning. Mrs. Howe will rest beside her late husband, the "beloved physician" of Columbia, who died April 20, 1895. The same I I . .L ? - ? ? - muuuM siian wmcn marks nis grave will indicate hers also. But a few feet away and in the same railed inclosure are the graves of her father and mother, the Kev. Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Buggies Wilson. Nearby reposes her late husband's father, the writer and theologian, George Howe. Mrs. Howe's little daughter, Jessie Woodrow Howe, born October 30, 1878 who died January 30, 1885, is buried in the family plot. The inclosure is in the center of the walled churchyard on the north side of the walk which connects the Marion street gate with that giving on Bull street.

A Tennesee mountain woman was eating pig's feet one day at the door of her cabin when a neighbor came to tell her bad news. Her husband had got into a fight at one of the town sa loons, a bullet had lodged in his lungs, and he had died soon after. The woman, a pig's foot held midway to her mouth, listened to the harrowing tale in silence.

Big Strike Threatening World's Greatest City New York, Sept. 18.?The United Hebrew Trades, representing a membership of 200,000 organized workers, tonight voted to go on a sympathetic strike as an aid to the striking carmen, if thev are called upon to do so b> the Central Federated union. The vote was taken at a meeting of delegates said to represent every craft in the United States, including the garment industries in which many women are em ployed. Arrangements wprp made to notify the membership of 200,000 to be ready to answer a strike call at any time. A little girl wrote the following composition on men: "Men are what women marry. Thev drink and smoke and swear, but don't go to church. Perhaps if thev wore bonnets they would. They are more logical than women, also more zoological. Both men and women sprang from monkeys, but the women sprang farther than the men."
