the readers before Thursday, a

Thursday of this week will
be Washington's birthday, and
a legal holiday. The post office
will be open only a few hours
between trains, and the carriers
will not go out.
Washington's birthday exercises
will be held at the school
auditorium Friday night of this
week. Admission 10 and 15
cents. Proceeds go to buy furniture
for the stage.
Paul G. McCorkle of Lancas
ter was nominated to fill the unexpired
term in congress by a
record breaking vote of 8.074 in
the primary Friday. Hamel re
ceived 419; Hough 267.
Nearly all local news items
have a wa>' of coming in the
last day before press day, and
this fact accounts for the short
age of local items this week, as
the paper is printed a day earlier
than usual.
Several times the farmers in
this section have beeun dIow
ing for the coming crop season,
but just as often they have been
driven out by the rains. The
writer has seen much plowing
being done when the land was
wet. This, as every one knows,
is worse than no plowing at all.
A two-headed calf was exhib
ited in Hartsville a few days ago,
according to Editor Coker who
has had a reputation for truthfulness.
He says the neck and two
heads were carried to his store
bv a Mr. Crowley, and that the
heads were perfectly formed.
The calf died before it was two
days old.
Mr. Chas. Weslev Porter died
Monday afternoon at the home
of his son in law, Mr. John W.
Clark, near Pageland. He had
been in failing health for sever
al years, and had been confined
to his bed for several weeks.
His condition had been growing
worse and it had been known
for some time that he could not |
live. Mr. Porter was a native
of Anson county, was 73 years
old, and is survived by two sons,
one daughter and five half
brothers. The sons Messrs. C.
W. and James Porter, live in Eldorado,
Ark. The daughter is
Mrs. J. W. Clark The funeral
service will be conducted Tues
day afternoon about 3 o'clock
by Rev. J. W. Quick at Rose
Hill church, and thn hoHv will i
be buried in old Rose Hill cemttery.
Mr. Porter was a Confederate
veteran, and a good citizen.
He had been a member of
the church ever since the war,
and he had been a member
of Rose Hill since it was organized.
He frequently expressed
his conviction that he was pre
pared to die, stating that he was
ready and unafraid to answer
the final summons.
Up to the time The Journal
goes to press there have been no
important developments as to the
war situation.
Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Funderburk
and Mr. B. E. Funderburk

home of Mr. T. A. Funderburk.
Miss Ada Funderburk of Cheraw
spent Saturday and Sunday
at the home of her father, Mr.
T. A. Funderburk.
A letter from Mr. J. C. Rivers
arrived too late for publication
this week. Perhaps he will
favor us with a summary of the
entire session for next week.

Lawmakers Didn't Get Through
Columbia, S. C., Feb. 18.?
The Seventy-second General
Assembly will meet in the morn
ing at 10:30 o'clock for what
they hope will be the last day of
the first session. The calendars
of both Houses have been
continued last niirht until next
session, and the only thing re
maining being the adoption of
free conference committee reports.
The two big questions still
undecided are liquor and
general appropriations. The
free conference committee on
the latter proposition consists of
Senators Christensen, lohnstone
and McCown and Representatives
Liles, Coth ran and Rector.
They will meet in the morning
at 9 o'clock aad hope to be able
to report to both Houses at 8
o'clock tomorrow night.
The prohibition issue is "up
in the air," to use expression
that has been heard overtime
around the General Assembly
the past few days. The Senate
passed the "quart a month prescription"
bill and the House
the ''bone dry" prohibition bill.
It is up to the free conference
committee to reach some compromise
and it is generally believed
that Governor Manning
would veto a "bone dry" bill, at
least this prediction was made
time and ncnin on flnorc r\(
both houses during the long de
bates on these bills.
Members of the General Assembly,
disappointed that they
could not adjourn last night, remained
over in the city today
and hope to get through tomorrow
night.
'l he House spent most of last
night singing while in recess
waiting on the Senate's action
on the prohibitions bills so the
Iree conference committees
could be appointed. While the
elder body debated the prohibition
matter members of the
1 louse gathered in the main
aisle of their body and sang
patriotic and religious songs.

Big Things for Cheraw.
Cheraw Chiooiclc.
A corporation known urder
he name of the Interstate Ice
ind Fuel Co, is preparing to
nanufacture ice here in Cheraw.
The gentlemen composing the
irm are practical business men
ind are interested in a number
sf similar plants in Cuba and
various points in the United
states. Several of the gentlenen
interested are now in the

plant has been shipped. The
plant will be located on the site
af the old Godfrey saw mill
plant on the Seaboard road at
the foot of Huger street. Mr.
P. J. Clarkson, the manager in
charge, informs us that in
addition to the manufacture of
ice the company will also handle
coal and wood.
While Columbia has been
tiard at work trying to .locate
one of the government's nitrate
lixation plants, and we hope
they will succeed, Cheraw received
word this week that the
DuPonts were going to erect a
powder making plant on the
Pee Dee river, just a few miles
above Cheraw.
After many attemps, and as
many failures, to build a cotton
mill in Cheraw, we are glad to
announce that at last the bard
work of a few faithful, never
die, Cherawites, has at last been
crowned with succes and Cheraw
is going to have a cotton
mill. It is hoped to begin work
on the buildings within the
next sixty days.

Henry Graves says he doesn't
mind being fighting editor so
long as we send him persons no
more dangerous than Prof. Terry
and Ed Agerton.
The other day Mr. G. C. Mangum
had a rather trying experience
carrying the mail. He
was carrying it on an automobile
of a complicated nature,
and while trying to turn
around on top of that unusually
long and steap hill just beyond
Mr. T. W. Turner's he forgot
how to stop the thing from
backing. Another fellow was
coming up the hill on a motorcycle,
and a serious accident
was avoided by a narrow marI
gin. The fellow told Grover to
get out and let him run the car.
Grover got out of the car and
on the motorcycle. Then he
did have a time. The thing
went whizzing down that steep
hill backward at a 2:40 gait. Of
course he was scared almost to
death, and was in great danger.
Just before he dashed his brains
out against the bank he waked
up, turned over and probably
asked his wife if it was time to
get up.
Probably W. J. Tiller never
felt his "keeping" more than the
time when the Government
furnished him a pullman car in
wnich to ride alone. Back in
1912 he was a major for four
military companies, one of
which was located at Chesterfield
with John Welsh as cap
tain. Three special cars, were
sent to Cheravv for the use of
the soldiers in getting to Camden
where they were to transfer
to ;he Southern and join other
companies enroute to the annual
encampment which was held
that year in Anniston, Ala.
Tiller was the only man who
showed up, and the cars were
carried back empty. At Camden
he found a pullman waiting
for the officers. He was the only
one, so he boarded the pullman
and for once probably felt
about as big as John L. Mc
Laurin did when he was riding
in a special car over the South
while he was senator from South
Carolina.
About Dr. Watt's Feet
Marshvillc Home.
Here's one they tell on Dr.
Watt Ashcraft, ot Monroe. It
happened on a Pullman sleeper
on a western trip. When the
Pullman porter took Watt's suit
case he was asked if any berth
was unoccupied. "I'm sorry,
boss, but we hain't got but one
berth left and a man at another
station has got that engaged."
Watt was tired and sleepy and
he responded, "That's all right
about it's being engaged. They
often engage berths and don't
take them. I'm going to get in
that berth," When the train arrived
at the station at which the
man entered who had made the

reservation, he asked about the
berth, "I hate to tell you, boss,
but another man took that berth."
Then the passenger asked,
"Did he know the berth was engaged?"
"Yes, sir," responded
the porter, "and I told him 1
rather he wouldn't take it."
With an exhibition of fighting
spirit the passenger responded,
"What's all right, just show me
the berth he's in." Walking
down the car the poru-r whisper

anything about the size shoe Dr.
Watt Ashcraft wears you'll fully
understand the significance of
this story.
