Stevenson is being heard from in Congress, and those sea soned legislators are frequently reminded that there is a fifth South Carolina district and that this district has a representative in the House of Representatives. He presided over the house dur ing a session recently at the re quest ot Speaker Clark. This shows something of his standing in the body to which he was very recently elected. HOW MANY LADDERS IN PAGE LAND? Maishville has perhaps had more tires during the past fif teen years than any town of its size in two states, and what has been lost in tires would have given the town waterworks and sewerage long ago. This is cited, not as evidence of perfidy on the part of Marshville's citi zens, but as an indication of i.? :.. c n wiiat 111aj uc in siuic iui raneland or any oilier small town without means of fighting fire. There has geen a noticable decrease in the number of fires here during the past months, but no one can say how long this good fortune will continue. Fires are mysterious things at best, and they have a way of coming when we least expect them. Because we have had no fires for several months is no reason to suppose we.will have no more. Pageland should have some kind of fire fighting apparatus. A few ladders and buckets at least mav be provided and kept at a convenient place. What could vou do if the fire alarm should be given but shoot a few times to arouse your neighbors and run to see the fire con sume whatever is in its path? THOSK DEATH TRAPS AGAIN The continued cool weather of the past weeks has prevented the breeding of flies as fast as in wanner weather. There are few hoists in Pageland, and the elimination of t>'e fly would not be verv hard. Only a little thoughtful and persistent work would be necessary to make this a flvless town. The open privies are now the principal breed ing places for fhes and the greatest menace to the health of the town. For about five years he writer ha? been pulling for measures to abate this nuisance. Articles have been written from time to time, and several times we have gone before the town officials askintr fnr j?r>tir?n in thic matter. Once we thought some thing was going to be done as the board went so far as to pur, chase part of the equipment to change these death traps into sanitary places. But the matter dragged, and finally these recep tacles were sold. We usually meet with the reply that there is nothing that can be done, and that the people would not co op erate in an undertaking of this kind. To this argument we wish to say that there are things that can be done to improve the sanitary conditions, that the town pays a policeman by the month and that he has little to do during the summer months. He could very well direct his attention to sanitation. And further that the people will cooperate in an elfort to make the tow a cleaner and healthier and a better place in which to live. I t . * < ] ? t Company 1 Wants Recruits a The Journal is in receipt of a letter from Captain W. L. Gilles ? pie of Company I first S.

This gives the voung men of the county the opportunity to enlist in a com- ! pany of ho.ne boys, command | ed by officers they know. If they neglect to do this the con script ion law passed by Con- ^ gress Thursday will come in ^ and probably take a number , from this countv into the service ] in strange companies and under J officers "they have never seen. It is better to volunteer and go , with friends and acquaintances , than to be forced. Guardsman Killed by Train at Hamlet Hamlet, May 20.?Private Harry E. Orrell, of Company A. Engineers, while on guard duty at the Pee Dee River bridge, twelve miles west of Hamlet, was killed by a freight train about eight o'clock this morning. His remains were brought lo Hamlet, prepared for burial and sent to Wilmington, his former home, on tonight's train. He was the son of E. H. Orrell, of Wilmington. About a month ago he was struck by a train while on guard dutv at the same bridge, and alter spending two weeks in a hospital at Hamlet returned to I duty. Your Policy Is Good Our policy holders are making inquiry as to whether their policies will be good in case of military service. We are ad vised by the Company that all old policies are good without extra premium. Policies issued after this date carry a provision for a small extra premiujn in case of ser vice outside of United States. No extra charge for army service at home. Do you know of any more liberal offer? You are insurable until you are drafted into the army, but not after you are drafted. A reasonable amount of life insurance is a good investment in times of peace, a better investment in war times. We will be glad to go over the whole matter with you in our office. !
