w Locals Tbe Chesterfield county fair begins today. See the program in another place in this issue. Mrs. J. W. Elkins returned Monday from Cheraw where she visited for several days. Messrs. Lex Watts, Elisha Rushing and Wade Kelly went to Charlotte the first of the week to look for work. Mr. C. W. Porter, Sr. who now makes his home with Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Clark at Marshville came down Sunday and remained over to vote yesterday. Miss Nell Clark accompanied him. A few tickets with Blease's name for governor instead of Manning's were seen in this county, but they were too scat tering to give much concern to anybody. Cotton has not been marketed very rapidly for several days, a good man3' farmers preferring to wait until the election was over. Now which way do you think the price will go? The two restaurants here have been combined and Messrs. , James Sanders and R. E. Rich ardson are the owners, Messrs. , Smith and Munnerlyn having sold out. The new owners will operate in the Edgeworth building on McGregor street. Mr. Munnerlyn has rented Mr. J. T. Mills' farm 4 miloc frnm ?-? >ua ill a UltlW A A Will lUVVUf and expects to move his tamily there after a few weeks. Mr. James A. Craig, one of the oldest residents of Chesterfield died yesterday morning about 5 o'clock. He had been in bad health for a long time, and his death was not entirely unexpected. He was once county surveyor. He was a member of the Methodist church, and a Mason. Mr. Craig was 85 years old, and is survived by his wife. 1 he body will be buried this afternoon with Masonic honors. At a negrcT lesfiv'aT oiT Mr. John T. Hurst's farm 2 miles ru ?t:.u tiwin ^ucMcuiuiu inree negroes were shot, one seriously, and as a result, three negroes were lodged in jail. One of the wounded ones is a woman. The one most seriously wounded was carried to a hospital in a critical condition. The full details of the fracas will not be known until the Day when each shall render an account of lhe deeds done in the body. The election returns were re ceived at this office last night up to 1 o'clock, and Pageland felt that she was at least in the United States. The reports received here bv lon^ distant 'nhnn. n 1"*VMV were essentially the same as those received by the big dailies throughout the country, and Pageland citizens knew before retiring as much about the re suits of the national election as any of 'em. The weather must be exceedingly dry up around Charlotte, for a few of our local sports paid $1.25 a pint for a couple of pints of water in the above named citv a few days ago, and it was not good water at that, accord ing to the statements of these young men. In fact it was pronounced a poor grade of stagnant water by one of those whose misfortune it was to run dry while spending some time in the Queen city. The boys before starting on the long and rough journey home felt that a little, Oh, be Joyful would help to break the monotony of the trip and accordingly began to cast about to see if perchance a pint or two might be found. A negro with a couple of pints in nicelv sealed and labeled bottles was not hard to find. A deal at $1.25 a pint was quickly made, and the dusky one departed. When opened the bot ties were found to contain only a very poor quality of Mecklen burg water. The bays took their punishment like men, and )?ft very dry but much wiser. This week has been potato digging time in this section. The crop is not very heavy. Not a single ballot with Blease's name for governor was voted here. There were 2U votes cast. There \vill be a box supper at Five Forks next Tuesday night. Proceeds go to the church. Mr. P. H. Evans' property here was sold at auction Satur day as advertised. Mr. H. N. Askins bought the land, and MV ^ 17 1? ivnrko iui. vj. a . jjvmis me uuum:. Cotton sold on this market yesterday for 18.00 in the absence of any market reports after 9 o'clock in the morning. You may guess for yourself which way it will go now. Mr. D. B. Harrington is a loyal Democrat. He left his work here, paid $7.50 for a car and drove to Wadesboro to cast a Wilson vote yesterday. He says he would have gone 500 miles to have voted. Mr. Frank Pigg went to sleep driving a Ford on the road a few miles from Charlotte Sunday afternoon, struck a telephone pole and turned the car over and damaged it slightly but escaped unhurt but scared. He was alone, and as he had been loosintr cninnth roads rocked him to sleep. He did not sleep any more until he got home. Mr. Jeff Pope, who was riding horse-back from Monroe Saturday night, was overtaken about a mile from town by John Fairly in an automobile. As the weather was very dry there was a great deal of dust, and many people were traveling this main road out of Monroe. By some means Mr. Fairley's car struck Mr. Pope's horse and killed it, Mr. Pope being right badly hurt and the car damaged considerably. Notice was received yesterday byMhe postmaster here that the following changes are to be made in rural routes one and three from Pageland, the changes effective November 16th: route three will leave the old route at McColl's farm 2 1 2 miles east of | luwii anu proceea ny j. t;.

Route one will be shortened by cutting out a mile at Pine Tree where it lapps. These changes will be effective the l6tli of this month and all patrons effected b> the changes should place theii boxes at the proper places it _ - uu mis uaie. Twenty-seven Men Entombed In Mine Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 4? Federal and State mine rescuers who tonight penetrated the Bes sie mines of the Sloss-SheffieM Steel & Iron company near here, where early today 18 negroes and nine white men were en tombed as the result of a gas ex plosion, believe at least eight of the miners are still alive. Air is coming through a pipe from a portion of the mine where that number of men were located when the explosion occurred. None of the victims have been removed since early this morn ing when two unidentified bodies were brought to the surface. I hese two victims had been de capitated by the force of the explosion.

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 office at Pageland, S. C., under Postal Act of March 3,1879. November 8, 1916 They claim the election for Hughes, but we are from Missouri. The meeting is not over until the singing is ended. ? All the cotton unpicked in the fields of Chesterfield and Union counties on Christmas day will not be worth fifteen cents. This office was Democratic headquarters for seekers after election returns, and ot course no Republican showed up to hear the reports from so warm a Democratic source. As the returns began to come in indicating the possible election of Hughes interest grew to fever heat almost, and if a Yankee could have heard all that was said he might have called some of it treason. There was certainly no brotherly feeling to the Republicans who were apparently carrying the election against the idol of the South and of Democracy. Three or four years ago a board of trade was organized here and for a short time it seemed that much good to the PAmmnnitiT %*r. -^o..l4 W..4 41? vvriiiuiuuil.y vv WUIU I C^Ull) "Ul (lie thing died oi drv rot and since that time there has been no organization or other means whereby the citizens of the town and community are brought together | to discuss matters of importance to the community---Bverywaa weeds his own row, and there is little or no cooperation. There is no meeting place where the people can come together on common ground to work and plan for the many needed im provements in social and civic conditions. Pageland is lagging behind. Nearly every town and city has its board of trade, chamber of commerce, community service league, or other organization for utilizing the brain power of the whole community along the lines of progress and development. Pageland has been asleep. Pageland has done well without such an organization, but would have done much more with it. The time has come when it is essential to the future well fare of the town and its citizens that the people come together and unite their efforls for a better town,and community. Big things are being done for other towns and communities bv united efforts, and big things will come to Pageland only through the united efforts of its citizens. What better time than now will there be for a resurrection of the dead board of trade which promised so much for the town? Why not wake up and begin w-?rk? Haven't we had a good nap? A tired business man in New i oru, coming Home after a par ticularly enervating day. had oc casion?or thought he had?to speak sharp words of reproof to his eight year old son. I le wound up by sending the youngster to bed without any supper. That night, stealing into the kiddy's room to see whether he had fallen asleep, his mother found him wide awake and very scornful of her advances. "Why, Jackie," she said, "you shouldn't he surly toward me 5 * 1- ' * ' jusi oecause your lamer scolded you I'm not to blame." "Yes, you are too!" stated Jackie. "You married the big stiff, and now I've trot to stand for him!" I. * Ex Presidents Need Pensions 1 Helen Nicolay iu The Country Magi/inc. Even in the sedate days our tribute to puhc men was apt to be paid in somewhat free and easy fashion. Washington is the ' only one in our national pantheon to whom docoruos reverence has always been made. The admirers of Franklin who knew his reputation abroad were astonished when they came to this country and made a pilgrimage to his tomb to find only a plain white slab in "an obscure corner of an obscure burying ground." Not even a path led to it. But they might have found food for thought in the fact tha' the tall grass about it was pressed down by the tread of manyfeet and there was no need of a guide to show them the way. The roads leading to the homes of our early Virginia presidents were filled with admirers who arrived, according to the custom of the South, by coach and chariot, bringing their horses and their servants and staying sometimes for days to cumber the stables and empty the larder. Washington, one of the richest Amer icans of his generation, escaped bankruptcy, having the fortune d to die within three years of lay- ing down the presidency. The others all suffered. Jefferson paid the penalty of fame by being literally eaten out of house and home and his hinaranhpr'? idyllic statement that "no liard work was done at Monticello" scarcely tallies with the assertion of his daughter that she and her household servants were sometimes called upon to provide beds for 50 people. Monroe said of his visitors that some were bounties and some were taxes." On the whole he thought that there were enough of the former to offset the latter, but, in his opinion, pensions for former presidents were a necessity, since under our republican plan " they could not shut their doors? and refuse hospitality to this sentimental horde without discredit to the country.
