There are about one hundred
good reasons why every farm
and garden in this section should
produce an abundance of eat
ables this year. Let's hear you
give one reason why they
should not.
"How do the people of Jefferson
township like the bond issue
since it has been tried out?" we
asked a citizen of that township
the other day. "All right, I
think," he replied, "the ones
who fought it hardest now tell
us how much fertilizer their
teams can pull over the good
roads."
The threatened railway strike
was averted at the last moment
by mediation. The railroads

diation board and the brotherhoods.
The eight hour law was
agreed upon, but only prorata
pay lor overtime was allowed.
On the heels of this settlement
came the decision of the Su
preme Court upholding the
Adamson eight hour law. It is
believed that this settles the controversy
between the railroads
and the employees.

"Why can't we have water
works and sewerage here?" askcitizen
who heard it. "Write
something about it, and let's get
the movement started," continued
the first speaker. This is
a subject we had given quite a
i:?i. i -
iiiuc consideration already, and
the main obstacle to be over
come is public sentiment.
Would a majority of the voters
in town favor it? If the edvan
tages of these things were prop
erly understood by all the peo
pie there would be little difficulty
in gelling a majority vote.
So if the people who want wa
terworks and sewerage in Pageland
will join us in the under
taking we'll make a fight
for these things. If von are in
favor of such a move, make it a
point to speak to the writer
about it at once, or better still
state your position through the
columns of this paper.
The county Sunday School
association meets in the Presby
terian church here Thursday
and Friday of this week. Delegates
have been invited from
every Sunday school in the
county, and while all the
churches will not send representatives,
a great many
will These delegates will be
upon the hospitality of the
people of Pageland for dinner
each of the two days, and quite
a uuuiuer win probably remain
over Thursday night. Messrs.
D. E. Clark, A. H. Mangum, J
E. Smith and L. J. Watford have
been appointed as an entertainment
committee. The homes
of Pageland should be thrown (
open to these delegates, that
Pageland's reputation for hos- ,
pitality may be maintained. ]
Let those who are in position to i
entertain one, two or more delegates
see one of the members of ,
this committee, so that there t
may be no confusion or misun (
derstandings. Don't wait for t
this committee to assign dele- i
gates to you. Go to one of \
them and let them know how *
many you will take. t
White Man Was Shot at Win
gate
Charlotte Observer.
Shot completely through th
head by a steel jacketed ball
from a .38 caliber automatic pis
tol and with a similar bullet hoU
through the body in the region
of the heart, Edgar Williams, ?
policeman of Wingate, six miles
from Monroe, is believed to be
dying in the Brenizer Sanatori
um where he was rushed las:
night by his father, H. F. Wil
liams, and a cousin. R. C
Griffin,
The officer was shot while at
tempting to arrest a negro, Bunt
Maske, for whom he held a war
rant upon a charge ot havinj
committed an assault upon his
wife. In the fight which ensuec
upon the officer's attempt tc
place the negro under arrest, he
was shot twice, the missiles frorr
the powerful weapon passing
completely through his head anc
body.
Surgeons at Brenizer's Sana
torium last night found that the
first bullet had entered above
the right ear and passed com
pletely through Mr. Williams
brain. Parts of that organ were
oozing through the wound ii
his head. The bullet whicl
struck his body, entered somi
two inr.hps hplow tho hpart nnt
passed on through, making it
exit just above the right hip.
Despite th?.se fearful wound
the officer regained conscious
ness on his trip to Charlotte ant
was able to converse in a ration
al manner until rendered uncon
scious by an anaesthetic admin
istered upon the operating tabl
in the sanatorium.
He withstood the operatioi
well and sometime after mic
night was recovering from th
effects of the anaesthetic. Sui
geons who performed the opei
ation were surprised at his wot
derful vitality.

The Journal has gathered th
following in regard to this a
fair in addition to the accour
above:
Mr. Williams had a warrar
for the negro and approache
him on the railroad crossing s
Wingate unarmed, and told th
negro he had a warrant for hirc
The negro drew his pistol, an
Mr. \\ llliams jumped behim
him and grabbed around hint:
The negro shot him through th
body and then through the heac
keeping others away during th
time with his pistol. After Mi
Williams fell the negro walkei
off toward his home near th<
Baptist church, followed at :
distance bv a rapidly gatherinj
crowd armed only with sho
guns and such weapons as the;
could hastily gather. Member
of the posse fired several time
at the negro, but no shots wen
effective. The negro continue!
to go, and was given more car
tridges by his brother, it i
charged. The negro was thu
followed about a mile and i
half before a pistol ball througl
his knee brought him down
After his capture he was fount
to have wounds about the moutl
and throat. He was lodged ii
jail at Monroe, where he hai
been under the care of a physi

Spring has come. No matter if
it is cold sometimes, it is spring
just the same. One day last
week the writer saw two boys
on the bank of the creek with
fishing poles extended over the
water, and down in the edge of
the water was a little "string"
with a greater number of fish
than the boy gave Jesus to feed
five thousand people. What
| better evidence do you require
that spring has come. Oh, yes
I it may snow and sleet some yet,
' but it's spring nevertheless.
j Grover Mangum sent Policeman
Gregory for an armful of
wood the other day, and when
he brought it and made a fire
~ Grover pretended the wood be
" longed to W. J. Blakenev, and
, that if Mr. Blakenev had seen
' him get it there would have
" been trouble. By the time the
1 policeman began to really regret
1 getting the wood Grover had
^ sent word to Mr, Blakenej' and
let him know what they were
s doing. In he came at once
fuiious because the officer of
s the law had taken his wood.
The officer was trulv repentant,
made plenty of apologies and
1 later went around and apologized
privately to Mr. Blakeney,
1 stating that he did not know
e whose wood it was. Then they
told him the joke and he laughj
ed louder than anybody else.
We have been taken to task
by a reader for allowing the exr
pression "milk cow" to appear
in these columns instead of the
strictly proper term "milch
e cow." This reader agrees to
by Mr. B. Clegg Ashcraft for the
Monroe Enquirer. We fina
' "milk cow" at least four times in
, the advertising columns of The
* Enquirer, a few times in the
Monroe Journal and the Marsh?
ville Home, and nowhere do we
it
^ find "milch cow," though we
admit frankly that according to
the dictionary the latter expres
sion is correct. We do not rej
call having seen an editorial in
j the Enquirer in which Mr. Ashcraft
had occasion to refer to
\ the female of this popular doj"
mestic animal, so it becomes
' necessary to ask him to give us
an editorial on the subject that
j we may see whether he writes
milk or milch before cow, and
if the latter why the huisness
rj
locals in his paper are not made
^ to read the same way.

Rebuilding on Heels of the
Troops
That France does not expect b
a return of the tide of war is a
manifest in the fact that she is
rebuilding the destroyed cities as
the armies advance. Mr. Thompson,
agent in Paris for an Amer- v
ican steel exporting firm, is in
New York to report to his com- a
pany, and he savsto a Journal of
Commerce reporter that while
the public understands great j
activities will be in evidence in
France and Belgium after the
war in reconstrucing the devas
tated towns, yet it is not so well *
known that this work is even
now proceeding as rapidly as r
the territory is being recovered,
and that reconstruction follows t
in the wake of the advancing
army, the reparation of damage 1
and the rehabilitation of fac- <
tories proceeding right up to the
firing line. Mr. Thompson says
that buying for entire tons will <
be done by great syndicates
working with the co-operation 1
of the Government. In his view, i
the United States could establish <
itself firmly in the French mar- i
ket, but onl> by methods of com- <
bination and farsighted organi- 1
zation which can adequately i
analyze the situation.?Charlotte '
Observer. 1

Mr. Hamilton Is 90 year* Old
Monroe Enquirer.
Mr. John C. Hamilton, of
Vlarshville township, was here
ast Saturday. To the question,
'How are you?" he said, "I am
feeling fine, had a little touch ot
the grippe but am all right now."
Mr. Hamilton was ninety years
Did the 6th of last December.
He rides horseback, can plow
a little and can hoe for two or
three hours at a time. In his
younger days Mr. Hamilton
could "upset" an axe and temper
it just a little better than anybody
else in the whole country.
He is wonderful in mental and
bodily vigor. His memory has
a reach of eighty six years. He
is a native of New Salem township
and he knows the family
history of almost every person
in the eastern part of the
county.
"I presume a successful automobile
salesman has to be a glib
talker?"
"Oh yes. And it also helps him
in his business if he has the pulchritude
of a moving picture
actor."
