The. Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Morning 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. November 29, 1916 Warehouse Commissioner John L. McLaurin has evolved a plan for checking the advance of the boll weevil at the Savannah river and thus hindering or preventing its coming into the Carolinas. His plan is to utilize the river as a natural barrier and to strengthen this by a 20-mile strip on this side of the river in which no cotton would be al lowed to be grown. He has studied the cotton situation in this Stale as no other man per haps, and he is recognized as authority on matters pertaining to welfare of the cotton farmer. On the face his plan appears feasible. We see .no good reason why this should not be done. Partridges and other birds destroy millions of insects, and the birds are the farmers best friends. Most farmers are coming to realize this, and very few farmers are willing for their birds to be killed. With the idea of protecting the birds and in this way preparing for the coming of the boll weevil a movement has been started to get just as many citizens of Chesterfield countv as possible to sign an agreement not to kill any more birds this year or next. In another place in this paper may be found a list of those who have signed at Pageland. The same agreement is being signed in otner parts of the county. A copy of this agreement will be kept at this office, and any others who .... F> Oi > ?je cOvhty should cirrn it Th/\r/\ ?/% % . at i ucic aic j|iiciii,y ui vavs in which the people may lind amusement without killing i he birds. It would be well for the legislature to pass a bill ma King it unlawful to kill birds at any. season for a few years. Come and signs the agreement. ? Agreement We. the undersigned land owners and tax payers of Chesterli dd County, agree that we will k ill no birds of any description during the balance of 1916 and during the year 1917. especially q tail of all kinds, as we wish to p.epare for the invasion of the b >11 weevil. Let a copy of this agreement b ; published in all of the county P pers and and a copy sent to tke State, which will notice to a'I persons to stay off any of the 1. ids which belong to the tin d< rsigned or within their con trol, as any violation will be punished according to the law.

Such Langwidge M I asked an Italian who speaks correct English, which language his children learned to write ei more readily, Italian or English. D] "Italian," said he. "Your English words don't sound the way they look." ai To show what this poor man ?s had in mind, I shall quote some *e suggestions given to me by one 111 of the most famous scholars, aJ philosophers and professional m men in America. They show ff what a curlicue language English is: b' Put it vice versa, and if laugh * ter is lafter, whv is not daughter * dafter and slaughter slafter? *r Enough is enuff, but cough is CI not cuff. However, if cough is ^ cawf, shouldn't enough be enawf? w riougn is pronounced plow and bough is bow, but cough is O not cow. c* Moreover, a little Italian hi knowing that cough is pro 01 nounced coff, is liable to spell the cup of morning beverage in cough phee. e< 1 th Card of Thank. hi d< We take this method of expressing our appreciation of the OJ kindness of our friends and neighbors during the sickness sa and death of our child.

Quick, Pastor The setting apart of a day when the wheels of trade are aj stopped, and Sabbath rest is aj planted right in the midst of the Sg secular week, and when a grateful nation is called to otfer up jj, prayer and praise to Almighty ^ God for his unfailing bounties, ^ is a beautiful custom. It stamps w us as christian people, The nat- q ural thing ought to be that those .?paejaUy who- lova God should -y gladly accept this gracious oppoitunitv to gather in their l( churches in large numbers, and ^ unite in songs of praise and t( prayers of Thanksgiving. ai There will be preaching at ^ Rose Hill Thursday, Thanks- q giving Day at 3:30 p. m.
