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."
