Tucker, Editor < 1 Subscription Price - - $1.00 Entered as second-class mail ! matter at the post otfice at Page , land, S. C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. j May 30, 1917 If vou are 21 years old and under 31 you are required to register.at your polling place next Tuesday. Do it or they'll want you to go to prison. ? m If you fail to register next Tuesday,, you will not be tried bv Magistrate Turner nor in a county court, but in a Federal court. Federal courts will not hear your pleadings. Better register next Tuesday. + To serve a sentence in a Federal prison for failure to register next Tuesday will be the fate of somebody. Are vou the man. Hardly, lor if you are a reading man you are probably informed as to the requirements, but what about that man across the branch, that man who never reads? What about the negroes in your section? Do they know about the new law. We should regret very much to see anybody from this county go to a Federal prison, but unless work ic Hnno ho'\*joon nnw nnrt nov( Tuesday, somebody in Chesterfield county will fail to register next Tuesday. Do your neigh bor a favor by telling him. See that everybody in your section is informed about this matter. ? ? ? LOOK OUT FOR YOUR CANTALOUPES In another place in this issue is an article about the methods of cultivating and fertilizing cantaloupes. This article, is especially appropriate just now as the people of this section are growing cantaloupes for the markets for the first time. Melons to command a good price must be grown of a standard size and quality. Crowding the vines will have the effect of re ducing the size, and will (here fore be a very unwise step. The vines should have distance, and should he cultivated as experienced growers have found best. It is all right for a man to be self reliant,* hut there are times when it is the part of wis dom to listen to advice. This is one of the times. The men who have grown cantaloupes for market know which is the best method. Melons too small or too large or of poor quality will be rejected bv the packer, and the man who grew them will be furious. The first effort to market cantaloupes here bids fair to be a success, but growers should seek and foiiow the advice of those who know. SUBMARINES HAVE NOT STARV ED ENGLAND For three successive weeks the losses of British shipping from submarines has been held well below the large figures which caused alarm a few weeks TL _ % ? t hku. i ue rvmencan aesirovers are aiding very materially in this anti-submarine war. An official of the British admirably recenty spoke to an associated press reporter as follows: "The American destroyers are playing no small part in theanti submarine war and our officers have expressed the greatest enthusiasm at the spirit, enterprise, acumen and quick wittedness with which the American unit has taken up its work. The Americans are already thorouglv coversant with our methods and we hope that they soon will be ; gin leaching us some new angles. Of course there is little to be ' said to the public regarding ] (be methods. But thus far * kve are working on the principle hat there is no royal road to success against u boats. Hard work and infinite pains is our recipe. It is the old American doctrine of keeping^everlastingly at it. "The Germans, who at first said they would strip us of our tonnage by June 1. have now advanced the date to October and we are confident that when October comes they will be under the same -necessity ot advancing the date again."

Funderburk, Miss Maude Funderburk entertained the Mothers of this community on Friday afternoon. May 25. There were 21 present. The afternoon was indeed a pleasant one. All laid aside household cares for the time and felt and acted like girls again. By weighing each one we found that Mrs. H. A. Funder burk was the heaviest, weighing 216, and Mrs. R. E. Funderburk wa; the iiehtest wt>iorhinor ? r* 1 " ,41h Then by measure we found thai Mis. F. A. Plvler and Mrs. Edna V. Funderburk both measured the same height, being the tallest ones present, and Mrs. W. II. Funderburk was the shortest. Mrs. E. B. C. Funderburk was the oldest lady there and Mrs L. F. Funderburk was the young < est. Miss Leona Jones was the only lady present who was of her age and not marrried, so she claimed the championship for being the wisest and we let it go at that, thinking that after all maybe, perhaps, she was right (Don't tell our husbands this* though.) Miss Maude served ice cream and cake and made for us a very pleasant afternoon Many beautiful flowers were carried to her mother in token of the esteem in which she is held. u was very neautitul in Miss| Maude to show her appreciation ol her mother in such a wav. Too many wait until mother is de:d to express any love for her. May she have her mother with Iter yet for many years. One ot Them ! - -Ufasl)- Stuff you needn't lead uivJcss you care to.

Prof. John Terry says he is a j little skeptical about that four < acres of corn that Mr. B. R. | Price says he has planted to \ work on Saturday afternoons, i He has been talking with Dr. < Ranford Smith and thej^ have < agreed that there must be a mis take somewhere, as they always i look for Mr. Price at Pageland ( it they want to see him on Sat urday afternoon. They claim that he had missed only a few Saturday afternoons since the railroad was built to Pageland. Prof. John savs that if he sees any of Mr. Price's children after dinner on Saturday he doesn't ask if Mr. Price is i?one to Pace land but how long has he been gone. Mr. Terry does i't claim to know anything about this four acres of corn, but he is slow to accept the story owing to his knowledge ot the past. Our suggestion to Mr. Price, however, is to go ahead with that corn patch, and if Mr. Terry sits in the shade of those nice trees too much he may want to buy some of that holiday corn.
