friends during the campaign,
W. F. 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

Company 1 Wants Recruits a
The Journal is in receipt of a
letter from Captain W. L. Gilles ?
pie of Company I first S. C. in- c
fantry asking that it be made <
known that all the companies of the
first regiment are authorized t
to recrqit to full war strength. \
Lieutenant William A. Mulloy is 1
now in this county, with headquarter
at Cheravv, for the pur ^
pose of recruiting: Company I to ]
full strength at once if possible. <
A recruiting party will visit the 1
different sections of the county
while here. 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

Hamlet, May 20.?Private

Engineers, while on guard duty
at the Pee Dee River bridge,

His remains were brought
lo Hamlet, prepared for

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

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. !

John Smith has had an- t3
ther application for a position
s stenographer, though the last
?ne was more innocent than the j
irst. Sam Watts had been tell
ng Historia Wallace, a respect *
d negro woman who lives on 1

imith wanted to see her. Then
le had told John he would get
tim a stenographer. Monday
distoria walked up to John and
i conversation somewhat as folows
ensued:
"Mr. Watts said you wanted
o see me."
"Yes," replied John as he be
jan to see the joke, "I want to
jet me a stenographer."
"A what?"
"A stenogragher," replied John.
"W? what sort of a lookin'
hing is dat. Is it something
ibout washing?"
Then John tried to explain
:hat he wanted someone to take
iictation and write it out on the
:ypewriter, and they both agreed
hat a position of this kind
would not suit Historia.
