The Pageiand Journal November 1,1916 Local News Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Funderburk, of west Virginia are spending some time with the former's parents Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Funderburk, Sr. Mr. Robt. Tinner, who is aj student in the University at Col umbia, spent Saturday afternoon and Sunday with his mother, Mrs. M. J. Turner. Cotton took a big slump last week after reaching 20 cents, falling to 18.25. It is looking up again however. It brought 18.65 here yesterday. Seed are advancing also. Messrs. W. F.

Mr. Osborne Smith lost a young cow a few days ago from eating second-growth cane. The cow grazed along a row for sev eral steps and then died right where she quit eating. A live debating socity has been organized at Union Hill, with Mr. U. A. McManus presi dent. Three meetings have been.held, and much interest is manifested. The meetings are held on Wednesday nights. Mr. Carl Evans returned to his home two miles south of town Monday from Columbus, Ohio, where he railed to pass the final examination for service in the army. Messrs. Harmon and Robt.

A meeting of all interested farmers has been called for Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the directors room of the Bank of Pageland for the purpose of or panizin? a National Form Tmn Association. All farmers who are interested in securing: long: time loans on farm lands at five per cent interest or less snould attend this meeting:. Policeman A. W. Funderburk has been showing: a largje stone removed from Mr. S. L. Stokes* bladder seven years ag:o when he underwent an operation. Mr. Funderburk has had several acute attacks with symptoms are similar to those of Mr. Stokes before his operation, so Mr. Funderburk thinks that he orobablv has one or more stones of similar nature. This one is much larger than a partridge egg. Judging by his acts we are led to believe that Mr. H. B. Sowell does not approve of card playing. When Mr. M. Price bought goods to open up a 5 and 10 cent store here he purchased two dozen packs of cards along with thfe other goods. Mr. Sowell looked at the cards on display as long as he could stand it, and Friday mornmg he walked in and offered to trade for the en4: 1-A t * * - rk lire iui u i\ar. rrice would promise to buy no more. The prom ise was made, and Mr. Sowell took the caids, the retail value of which was more than lour dollars, and made a fire in front of his own store and watched the cards go up in smoke, remarking as he kept the fire going that he was "burning the devil." Mr. R. F. Beasley quotes scripture occasionally in The Monroe Journal, and we would like to ask if the verse about showing one's faith by his works could be appropriately applied to this.

If there seems to be rather too much space taken up this week With Ortlintu fait- m n I tor nlnn.n wuu%j mil tuau^i) picadc remember this comes but once a year, and it is worthy of more than passing attention. The proposed motor car on the C. & L. can be secured if the people want it, is the information given out by Mr. A. L. Latta, trainmaster of the C. & L. The electric car which has been mentioned costs, it is said, $26.500, and is therefore out ot the question. The proposition now is to fit up some kind of an automobile with ca9t wheels, on which seven or cight^aa&euuiav and mail pouches csuld be carried. This car vould leave Pageland in the morning about ? o'clock and make connection with the Seaboard and Coast Line at Cheraw. Returning it would leave Cheraw after dark I and arrive at Pageland at nine Ar >n? r\ ' * Lvi icu viwtuuk. uu a car 01 mis kind there would be no toilet or heating arrangements. Our criticism would be that such a car would be too small for the work to be done. Court Proceedings The Court of Common Pleas for Chesterfield county convened Monday morning, Oct. 23rd with Judge J. W. DeVore of Edgefield presiding and the Court officials in their places. Five suits Dy employees of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Co., all for heavy damages, were dismissed by the court and a great deal of time and expense saved the county. The case of Watson vs Pas chal was compromised and a great deal of future litigation ended. In the settlement Mr. Watson receives about $3800.00. In the easel of Moore and Grant of Hartsville, against W. L. McCoy, the jury found in favor of the defendant. This was a suit on a note given in part payment on a mule swap. As the mule died Mr. McCov contested the payment of the note. On Friday the case of the Puffer Manufacturing Co. vs D. H. Laney for the possession of a soda fountain was fought out, and proved a verv fin*? l gal battle with Messrs. Hanna Hunley and C. L. Prince for the Plaintiff, and Messrs. Laney, Hough and Murray for Dr. Laney. The verdict was in favor of Dr. Lane>. This is the second time Dr. Laney has won out over the fountain people. During the first week a great deal of business has bet?n irnns acted and a great number of cases settled and the docket is cleared of a number of cases that if tried would have cost the the county a great many days of valuable time and many dollars ia hard cash. The court will continue through the greater portion of this week. 1' am selling furniture cheaper than the surrounding towns are selling it.
