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,

which measured 11 feet and
2 inches, and the tip is gone.
The full height was probably 12
feet. 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.
