Group Six of the South Carolina (
Bankers Association at Camden (
last week. Mr. Parxer was '
elected vice chairman of this ]
group, which is quiet an honor ]
and an evidence of his standing
among his banking associates. ,
Last Wenesday a meeting was i
held here to consider the <
matter of buying tin cans i
now while they may be had.
The idea was for the merchants I
and others to buy the cans and ,
furnish them to farmers and 1
canners to be paid for in canned i
fruits and vegetables. The mer
chants were a little slow in
taking hold of the proposition, i
and so Mr L. L. Parker, repre
senting the Bank of Pageland,
offered to buy fifteen thousand 1
cans and sell them to those who I
nin.t tU i- ? -
waui iiiciu "<ii u?i, lasn or creuii. i
Interest at 8 per cent will of <
course be charged on the ac- i
counts carried till next fall. 1
This offer seems to be just about s
what was wanted, so Mr. Parkei ,
was told to go ahead and get ,
the cans. He in turn notified
Mr. Tiller that Pageland would 1
take abou* three times as <
many cans as he expected. \
Any one who wishes to buy (
cans for home canning may gel
them whether he has the money (
or not. These cans are to be *
distributed by the Pageland i
Hardware company. The cans (
will cost five or five and a half \
cents. This seems high, but I
when compared with other J
prices it is about what we might \
expect. t
Messrs. S. E. and Jim Belk of
he Beulaii section were visitors
o town last Thursday.
Mr. Hazel Laney has returned
rom Horner Military Academy
it Charlotte.
Mr. Ed Redfearn is at home

On Wednesday night, May
L6th the union prayer meeting
luthorized the pastors of the
several churches in town to
iravv up resolutions and forward
to our congressmen asking that
they use their influence in favor
the bill to prohibit the manufacture
of intoxicants in any
form during the war. In reply
Congressman Stevenson states
that he is behind this bill with
ill four .of his feet. He says he
will vote for the bill, and strive
to get others to do the same.
Samuel, the 22 months old son
of Rev. and Mrs. R. W., Cato,
died at their home a mile or two
west of Pageland Saturday about
12:20, and the body was buried
it White Plains Sunday afternoon
about 3 o'clock, Rev. J. C.
Lawson conducting the service.
The little fellow had been sick
about 3 weeks with colitis, and
later developed pneumonia
This was the second death in
this home this month. The
small son of Mr. L. L. Cato and
jrandson ot Rev. and Mrs. Cato
died there on May 3rd.
Mr. and Mrs B R. Dabbs of
Atlanta came up Sunday to visit
relatives in and near Pageland.
Mr. Dabbs has returned to his
work, but Mrs. Dabbs will remain
for some time. Their
home was almost in the center
of the fire zonp in Atlanta which
was swept bv flames a few days
ago. This conflagration burned
fifteen hundred and seventythree
houses, sweeping clean
seventy three blocks and taking
J tpvu hoiicpc in Pthor Klrvnlre
The loss is estimated at $5,000,
)00. Mr. Dabbs stated that this
fire traveled a mile in six min
jtes, fanned as it was by the
high winds. It was finally
checked by dynamiting a number
of fine homes ahead of the
flames. Mr. and Mrs Dabbs lost
all their household goods in the
fire, and like hundreds of others,
were forced to seek temporary
quarters elsewhere. Thousands
were made homeless bv the fire.
Deputy Sheriff J. T. Grant was
knocked down bv a neero Dris
oner as he was entering the jail
last Friday night about 10.30 and
the negro, Eugene Benbough,
made his escape before Mr.
Grant could recover. Mr. Grant
fired twice at the fleeing negro,
but missed him. The negro
struck him over the head with
a heavy chair, and the blow was
a very painful one but not
serious. Bloodhounds were
wired for at once and search for
the negro began as soon as the
Jogs arrived. The negro was
chased through the swamps between
Cheraw and ChesteTield
Saturday and Suuday. At times
the pursuers were upon him,
and several times he was sighted.
Finally the trail was lost in a
negro settlement a few miles
from Cheraw, where he was
probably aided. Monday morning
he was located by Chief
Pegues in a barn near the Coast
Line water tank. He was cap
lured and brought back loCheslerfield
and lodged in the jail
from which he had recently
escaped. This negro had made
\ hole nearly through the brick
wall of the jail before his escape
ind he would have escaped in
his way in a short lime anyway.
He had secured a window
weight in some way and had
:hiseled a hole large enough for
lis body through all the layers
A the wall except the outside
>ne. This negro was in jail on
1 charge of breaking into the
;xpress office at Cheraw. Mr.
Jrant is well known here,
,vhere he served as rural po
iceman for several months,
sheriff Douglass offered a revard
of $50 for the capture of
his escaped negro.
Miss Grace Black well came
home yesterday from (Joker
College. v
Today, May 30tli, is Decota- n

graduated. c
Mr. James Robertson was I
struck by lightning and instant
lv killed on the farm of his
grandfather, Mr. B, F. Timmons, ^
near Patrick Monday afternoon
He was running after a horse
when he was struck. y
Mr. A. M. Newsom, a prominent
citizen of Marshville. died s
Saturday, after an illness nf sev- <
eral days. Tile body was buried
at Faulks church Sunday afternoon
about 2 o'clok.
Misses Hattie Irene Hunt and y
Kate Pendletcn Latimer reached
home last Thursday from Flora
MacDonald College to spend
the summer holidays with their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. R S. Latimer.
We have heard of one man
who swears he will not register
next Tuesday.' He says they t
may take him, but he will not c
register. We prefer to be en- (
lolled rather than sentenced to j
one year in prison and then re t
quired to go to the front. g
While the pastor. Rev R. S. j
Latimer, was absent, two of the
leading members of IJeulah
church arrived with a load of
substantials as a gift from the
members of Beuiah to their '
pastor. Just such as this goes a *
long way to form ties of mutual N
sympathy between pastor and s
people. 1
c
A severe wind and hail storm ^
visited the Chesterfield sertinn
? c
of the county Monday afternoon, j.
On Mr. C. H. Rivers' farm 2

killed by the bail. Mr. J. W,
Lowry vyas at Chesterfield and g
as he unloosed his mules in an
old barn or shed the wind blew p
it aWay. but no one was hurt. ~

day of last week at the home of ~
his son in law, Mr. R. C. Mellon ^
near Guess. He was 64 years 01 j
age, and is survived by one
daughter and four sons. The 1
funeral sermon was preached at L
Antioch church by Rev. J. W. Elkins
last Wednesday and the .
body was laid to rest in the 1
cemetery at that place.
There is some probability that *
a third South Carolina regiment
will be recruited in the near 1
future. A move has been made
to organize aconpany for this s
regiment, sit chesterfield. A i
meeting was held at the couri
house Saturday afternoon for f
that purpose. About thirty f
names were secured as volun- (
leers in this proposed company. .
