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

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

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.

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

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

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.
