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. m _ AA J A J A movemoer zz, iuit) Somebody said that somebody else said that he heard some body say that the work on the new railroad from Charleston to Savannah is done, and that the work 011 the line from McBee to Monroe will start at once. Now if that information is w6rth anything to you take it and welcome. The people of Chesterfield and Chesterfield county owe a debt of gratitude to the two men who 1 1 a 1 _1_ !_/ * nave oeen me cniei vvorKers in making; possible the splendid county fairs which have been held for several years. C. L. Hunlev and L, H.Trotti have done the county a splendid service, No matter what fault may be found with them as individuals, they deserve the thanks of the people of the whole county for their work in connection with the county fair. It is with pleasure that we announce that a flour mill is to be built at Pageland in time to grind the first wheat of the next harvest. Mr, Ai F, Funderburk 1 makes this announcement. He says a company will be incor- 1 porated with a capital stock of $5,000 to install a roller mill with a capacity of fifty barrels a dav near the site of the People's Gin company. Mr, Funderburk guarantees that the mill will be in operation by harvest time. This is one of the many h^ustries ^^^^ageland needs. Fui^P^de JMpfflvs of this undertaking"\vill be given later. Recently we have heard a lit tie criticism of our policy of printing occasionally a little story taken from every day life and told in a more or less humorous way. This kind of reading matter does not appeal to our critics as especially appropriate to be handed out to readers, the most of whom pay for it. But these iorget tnat a great many people like light reading better than the weightier kind. A real student of human nature once said, 4,A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." As soon as we can arrange to do so we shall try to arrange the mat ter for the paper in such manner that the hack stories may be put in a separate column. Then only those who want to will have to read the stuff. Thanks The Monroe Journal is one of the most ably edited and inter esung papers in North Carolina. Therefore we appreciate very much the following which ap peared in a recent issue of that splendid paper in connection with a few items clipped from this rag: "The Pageland Journal is one of the most intertaining papers that come on The Journal's exchange list. It is always bright, audacious and pleasing to read. Little human interest stories known to the profession as "hack stories" seem to be Tucker's favorite, as the last issue of his paper contained several of these stories. Some of them. and a few news items, we give below." Ten Votes Give N. C.
