With this issue this paper begins
its seventh year. On the
front page you may find "Vol 7.
No. 1" which means this is the
first issue of the seventh year.
The fifty-two issues of each
year make a volume. 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. The eld
er George Howe was many
years a teacher in the Columbia
seminary.

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."
