There is about one shade tree
in Pageland where there ought
to be twenty-five. Why not a little
cooperation between the
ll Mil /i
town and the propertv owners
in setting shade trees along the
streets just now before the sap
, risefr?
,, .i The Marshville Home is back
in > old hands. Zeb Green,
the ' founder of the paper,
is editor again, and L. E. Huggins
is local editor and business
manager. Each of these gentlemen
has made this a good paper
in the years gone by, and now
that both of them are back with
tneir sleeves up tlie paper is
coming again. Thev have is.Mill
^
sued the paper twice since the
sale, and while neither has his
picture ir. the paper any old
reader of the paper can see the
personality of each revealed in
the reading matter. Reading
the paper now carries the writer
back to the time when he was a
youngster sitting in the shade at
noon on the farm reading the
" the stuff Mr. Zeb Green (we
were required to say "Mister" at
that time) wrote and printed in
"Our Home." Though he has
grown in reputation as a writer,
he is still Zeb Green, and we

Watson Bell, a young newspaper
man of ability, has taken
charge of the Lancaster News as
editor and manager. The News
under his management promises
to be above the average for a
semi weekly paper.
A bill has passed the legislature
authorizing the trustees ot
the Pageland school to call an
election when they think the
time has come on the question
of an additional bond issue to
be used in erecting additions to
the present overcrowded building.
The bill authorizes a bond
issue equal to 8 p ^r cent of the
assessed property in the district.
The property is assessed at
about $200,000, and thus bonds
amounting to $16,000 may be is
sued if the people vote in favor
of such a move. The bonds already
issued amount to $8,5000,
which means that $7,5000 more

desire. It is improbable, however,
in the event an election is
called that the full amount
would be asked. The bill sim
ply gives the trustees the right
to submit the matter to the voters
of the district when they see
fit to do so. Thev may ask for
an election at an early date or
they may never ask for one.

Added Evidence of American
Prosperity
Every day brings evidence ^
that the American public are \
willing to pay for the things the n
people really want. 01
For many months newspaper
and magizine publishers have n
been hard pressed, because of ^
the tremendous increase in the tl
price ot white paper. In many lc
cities one cent newspapers have 01
raised their price to two cents
without any appreciable falling ~
off of circulation, but the most A
striking example of the public's
willingness to pay an increased n(
price for a better product occurr- ?
ed last month, when the pub- ]
lishers of Cosmopolitan deter- tf
mined that, instead of cutting n
the quality of the magazine,
they would print an even better '
magazine and increase the price. dl
Over a million people have d<
been buying Cosmopolitan for P
many years at 15 cents a copy, ^
and, with the greatly improved
February issue more people paid
20 cents for Cosmopolitan than
had ever in its history purchased cs
ine magizine at 15 cents. F
