Well, Mister, how much land
do you think vou will give to
cotton in 1917?
+ m
It is to to be taken for granted
that the fellow who doesn't pay
for his paper when cotton is
high doesn't mean to pav at all,
or has met with misfortune of
some kind.
What kind of capers would
the farmere cut if a crop like
that in 1914 and the price of the
1916 one could be brought together,
or if a 1916 crop and the
1914 price should come at once?
+ ^
The seed from a bale of cotton
now will bring more money
than the lint did back in the
nineties when the price struck
the bottom. The present price
makes the citizens of towns
wish they were on the farm.
The people of the South learn
ed a big lesson in the tall of
1914. Has it been forgotten? Do
the people remember what a
whale of a cotton crop means to
the South? How many will
loose their heads and neglect to
sow oats, wheat, vetch, rye and
other winter growing crops?
We do not know how profitable
the telephone busines is or
what dividends stockholders
realize on their investment, but
we believe we speak the sentiment
of the public at large when
we s?y that most of the systems
in this section are in need of improvement.
The lines ate hanging
to the posts and to limbs,
and sagging badly between posts
so that a little wind or sleet
wraps them together. If it is
necessary, we believe the peo
pie would pay a little higher
rates to get better service. If
a1 I! - ? -
me unes ana posts couia be
properly put up one time the
cost of up-keep would be very
light. We do not want to attack
any business or person unjustly,
but we would be glad to
see the telephone lines put in
good condition before the rough
winter weather sets in.
MAY GET DOUBLE DAILY SERVICE
An informal meeting of a
number of citizens of Pageland
and Messrs. C. Lane and E. CBagwell
was held here Thursday,
and the proposed motor car
service on the C. & L. was disPIICCoH
Mr Dn/V..r^ll n*" * * ?' 1
vuknjvu ??* i Harwell SIUICU illill
he Was then in communication
with the owners of a car that
would do the work here, but
that the price was so high that
he feared the passenger receipts
would never pay for the
car. This car, he stated, is a
combination gas and electric
one, in two compartments, seating
about 20 passengers, with
room for mail. If this or ? sim
ilar car is purchased double daily
mail and passenger service between
Pageland and Cheraw
will be established, the car start
ing from Pageland in the morning
and making two round trips
a day. In addition, the freight
train would carry a passenger
coach for the accommodation of
any who desired to ride.
This is exactly the service
needed on this road, and It is
hoped that it may be established
at an early date.
Mr. Bagwell, who is general
manager of the Seaboard and all
branch lines, expressed his grat
ification at the change of sentiment
toward the C. & L. during
tbe past year or two. He stated
that he told Mr. Lane when the
latter took charge of the road
that they must make friends
with the people, and that they ,
had striven to carry this out.
Large amounts have been spent
on the roadbed and it is now in
the best condition it has been in
since it was new. Messrs. Lane
and Bagwell were friendly and
fair, and made a splendid im
pression on those who had the
n1onc.iirn /\f tccinrv coririno
^iv^aoui^ vi uiovuoaiuf; IIUOVI VILV
with them. They reiterated
their determination to give the
people the very best service possible,
and stated that they were
always glad to listen to any suggestions
as to reasonable improvements
in the service.
No definite promises were
made in regard to the motor car
service, but the impression was
made that this service is a probability.
The people returned to
their work after the meeting

road and its officers. They are
satisfied that if the proposed service
is practical it will be inaug
urated as early as possible.

Crops in this section are about

Cotton was 16 cents at Ruby

and farmers should hold their
cotton until it pays its way.
