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. October 11,1916 The cotton market at Pageland has attracted quite a little attention this fall, and much cotton from Union county has been marketed here. This has been done only in a limited way since the days when B. M. Bruce made things lively by holding the cotton market up. The Union county farmers are pretty shrewd when it comes to buying or selling, and the fact that they are coming long distances to sell at Pageland is evidence enough that this pnarket is a good one. ^ A lyceum attraction is coming to Pageland at an early date, and we desire to see it well attended A number of patriotic citizens have guaranteed a certain sum in order that the people may have an opportunity to attend really high class entertainments rather than the kind they used to have here. It is the duty of each of us to patronize these undertakings, and make the burden of the guarantor as light as possible. No. We are not one of them, and we have no financial interest in the matter. We are not asking you to help us out of a hole. Attend the at tractions of the lyceum because you need to.

Evans died at his home here about 8-30 Wednesday night of dropsy. He had been in failing health for Several months, and his death was not entirely unexDected. The funeral, .was conducted bv Rev. J. W. Elkins at Rose Hill church Thursday afternoon and concluded at Zion, where the bodv was buried. The following sons and daughters survive: G. F., P. H. and R. V. Evans, of this countv, and John B. Evans, of Moore county-, N. C., Mrs. J. A..Nicholson, Mrs. H. J. Adcock ana Mrs. Lem Robertson. His second wife, and one sister, Mrs. Mary A. So well, survive also. Mrs. Hennie Watts deceased was a daugh ter. Mr. Evans was between 74 and 75 >ears old, and was a member of Rose Hill M. P. church. He was a confederate soldier, having served in Company I, 1st S. C. Infantry during the four years of the war. He was of a cheerlul disposition, and until a short while before his death was jolly and ready for fun at any time. He had a strong constitution, and bore the weight of years well. He fre quently talked of his prospects for a better world and expressed confidence that all would be well when the final hour should come. He realized that the end was near, but showed no fedr of death. Mr. Evans was a native of this section where he spent most of his life, and he was well known j over the county. Mt. Moriah Items Messrs. D. P. Home and A. B. Mills attended the Union Baptist association at old Waxhaw Baptist church last week as delegates from Mt. Moriah church. They report a splendid session of the association. The next session of the association will be held "with MiiTCreek churchy WedneSr day, Thursday and Friday before the second, Sunday in October 1917. Mr. John Richardson, Jr. has been quite sick but is better. Cotton is opening a little slow in this section. Perhaps half the crop is open. Prayer meeting each Sunday night at Mt. Moriah is still doing well. A cordial invitation is extended to all who are in reach to attend Sundav School and prayer meeting. P. The Confused Juror. Philadelphia Public Ledger. A Cleveland lawyer tells how during a trial one of the jurors suddenly rose from his seat and fled from the courtroom. He was, however, arrested in his flight before he had left the building and brought back. "I should like to know what you man by such an action as this," said the judge, in a lenient tone, however, as he knew the man, an alderly German, to be a simple, straightforward person. "Veil, your honor, I will explain," said the juror. "Ven Mr. Jones finished mit his talking mv mind vas clear all through, but ven Mr. Smith begins his talking 1 get all mix^d up again already, and I says to myself, 4I better leave at vonce, und stay away until he is done,' because, your honor, to tell the truth, I didn't like de vay der argument was going." The first and most wonderfui babv in the world was in the Hopkins household. He had reached the age when he could coo, an accomplishment which he indulged in most of the time. "He is the most welcome visi tor 1 ever had,'" announced the proud mother. "He just lies and talks to me by the hour." "Isn't that lovely?" agreed the caller. "So unlike most visitors ?they just talk and lie to you by the hour." i . ' - r Tax Notice The Tax Books will be open for the collection of taxes from October 15th until 31st day of December 1916.

(Advertisement) An old darky, with an old gray mule hitched to a ramshackle wagon, stood on the incline of a steep hill one cold day in January. The old man huddled in his rabbit-skin cap, and the mule shivered with the cold. "Why don't you move on, uncle?" inquired a passer-by, attracted by the strange out fit and wondering why the darkey was waiting. The old man pointed a trem bling finger at his team and re plied; "'Cause dis yere mule won't go 'lesB Ah whistle at him, an' it's so cold Ah cyarnt whistle.
