* ? < The Pageland Journal . January' 31,1917 Local News Miss Jessie Quick lett Sunday to visit for several days at Mc? Bee and Clio. Mr. H. W. Funderburk spent last week at his old home near Cheraw. Mr. D. A. Simpson, who has been in the employ of the Sea board with his home in Columbia for two or- three years, has returned to Pageland to make his home. Mr. Palmer Hendricks, son of Mr. J, D. Hendricks who lives four miles east of Pageland, had a foot painfully hurt Saturday afternoon while wrestling with his brother. The 8-months old daughter of Mr. John S. Mattox of the Zoar section died Monday afternoon. It had never been strong. Pneumonia caused its death. The body was buried at Beulah yesterday afternoon. The Journal was in error two weeks ago in saying that Mr. Dan Cadieu moved into the Fred Edgeworth house just north of town. He moved into the Buford Threatt house next to it. Mr. T. P. Brewer moved into the Edgeworth house yesterday. Reports seemingly of the most reliable character have reached us that work will begin on the new railroad as soon as spring opens up. It is said that the plans and specifications for the bridges and trestles are now being prepared. Do you believe this? Well, we shall not swear to it as a fact. Mr. W. B. Steen came back from Tennesee Saturday to syvuu ine summer ai nis Old home at Ruby. He has been in and 'Alabama -two months. He reports that the boll weevil has been doing much damage in the sections where he has been. Mr. P. H. Arant, who has had the management of the Cheraw Hotel for the past two years, as sumes management of the Ranard Hotel the 1st of Februraiv, succeeding Mr. J. D. Plyler, who goes to other fields, says the Cheraw Chronicle. There is considerable speculation as to who will succeed the late D. E. Finlev as congressmen from this district. An election will be called in February* to elect a man to fill the 2 year term t6 which Mr. Finloy was elected last November. This term begins March the 4th. Probably half a dozen will try for the place. Among those 'mentioned' are: W. F. Stevenson; C. N. Sapp, of Lancaster; W. R. Bradford 6f Rock Hill; W. P. Pollock of Cheraw, and eight others. Mr. Hardy G. Hendricks died at the home of his son in law, Mr. S. V. Atkinson, at Mt. Croghan last Thursday night about midnight. He had been sick for some time, and pneumonia developed and caused his death. He was about 72 years old, and is survived by the following sons and daughters: Mrs. S. V. Atkinson, Mrs. Clayton Sellers, Mrs. Edward Burc>?, Mrs. Jesse Timmons, Miss Hattie Hendricks; William and James Hendricks of Mt. Croghan, and Charles Hendricks of Sanford, Fla. Mr. Hendricks was one ot the best known citizens of his section. He was a jolly fellow, and always seemed to enjoy life. He was a member of Elizabeth church. He was a good neighbor, and was well liked and respected by those who knew him. The body was buried at Elizabeth Friday with Masonic honors, fa r? ** * C ' ;. . f Mr. W.

No. He didn't grow it. He brought it back with him from Georgia recently. Miss Nancy Clark died this morning at 1 o'clock at the home of her brother, Mr. Henry Clark, two miles west of Chesterfield. She had been sick for some time, and the end was not entirely unexpected. She formerly lived here, and was highly respected bv her many friends in Pageland. She was a sister of Mr. D. E. Clark, and a daughter of the late Gilbert Clark. She was about 37 years old, and a consistent member of the Chesterfield Presbyterian church. The body will be buried at Rock Creeky tomorrow. Mr. Rivers Tells What He is Doing In the Legislature .Columbia, S. C? Jan. 27.?I guess the readers of the Journal are keeping up with the work of the Legislature, but I am cer tain that all of them are not familiar with the details of the order thatthey IRiyhearfroih their Representative and gtf his opinion of the merits of certain proposed legislation. The liquor question is before the General Assembly in variour forms, from a High License for Charleston to a bone dry prohibition measure covering the whole State. I cannot tell just what will be done. But it seems from the sentiment expressed that there will either be nrnhihition or cnmnf tlio va. rious measures proposed for the perfecting of the present law passed. The Insurance question will be brought up next week and I am ' expecting a battle Roval on the amendments proposed. The life of the cotton warehouse system today hangs in the balances, there being a bill now pending to repeal the law. Also the election of a warehouse commission, which in its self means so much to the usefulness ot the system that the life of it depends on who is elected. The finances of the State are occupying the foremost thought of this body at present, and especially the Ways land Means Committee. Our 1 institutions are growing and developing to such an extent that the call for money to support and carry out their intentions are almost beyond what most of us can comprehend. When we think of the number of the people who are the objects of charity and the unfortunates we can see wny tne call is persistent. But my pet, they say down here, is the public schools. I am supporting the Rector-Riddle bill, which grades the public schools of the States and provides a more liberal support for the class of schools that serve the masses of the people If any thing ever does change our State from the bottom in regard to illiteracy it will be the public schools. Will write again next week. J. Clifton Rivers. * ' ' r. * " \ " '/ %""* *' I V*?? - ;. t i? Mil. Duke Is in ? Mesdaraes H. N. Askins and S. H.
