The Pageland Journal July 25,1917 * y Local News Miss Beverly Bailes of Anderson is spending several weeks with relatives here. Mrs. J. H. Gulledge and children of Hartsville are visiting here. Mr. and Mrs. James Liles of | Monroe, spent several days last I week at the home of Mr. K. P. I Stewart nere. Mr. W. W. Jenkins returned Sunday from a Charlotte hospi tal, where he has been for several weeks. He is recovering nicely. Mrs. Alice Mangum, and daughters, Minnie and Ola and little son Chandler, returned to their home at Portsmouth, Va. Monday, after spending a week with relatives here. It is figured by army officials that sixty per cent of the men registered in South Carolina will be exempt because of marriage, and ten per cent because of dependent relatives. Mr. B. C. Pigg, who enlisted in an engineering corps several weeks ago, left at 6 o'clockthis morning for Columbia in re sponse to a call to report for duty today. Mr. Pigg is a son of Mr. W. A. Pigg, Sr. Miss Annie Mae McColl of Columbia, Mrs. Sallie Johnson of Monroe, Mr. Marion McColl of Wilmington, and Mr. Leroy McColl of City Point, Va., are here at the bedside of their brother, Mr. John McColl, who is slowly recovering from a stroke of paralysis. Jokes at the expense of the boys who have been drawn are not infrequent, and The Journal desires to go on record as opposed to this kind of fun. Jokes i and pranks are in place at times, I k..? ?. ...i? - Iuui uui wuen a yuuug mail is being: called into the service of his country to defend the lives, property and rights of ginks left behind who have more age than sense. Do vour country a service by stepping up behind the next fellow you hear guffawing at a prospective soldier and, using your shoe as a weapon, make him think he has been torpedoed without warning. Kick him so high he will not land until after the war. All kinds of exemption claims were made on registration day, a large per cent of which were based on the section allowing ex I emption because of dependent I relatives. So far, we have heard I of but one voung fellow who I came up ana saia ne naa no de pendents, but on the other hand depended on his father for support. Mr. Earl Pigg heard so many of them telling the icgis trars that mother and father depended entirely on them tor support that he walked up and stated that he had no dependents, but depended on his father for support. His name was not drawn in the list to be called first. An impression seems to have been current that a certain number of the registered men would be drawn and called, and that the others would be free. This is a mistake. All the names were drawn last Friday. Every man who registered is now on the lists waiting to be called, unless he has since enlisted or is dead. The drawing was simply to establish the order in which the men should be called. The first drawn in each county is first called, andthe second drawn the second called, this order being maintained through the entire lists. Others on the list will be in the second, third and L fourth calls, if there should be jo many, . . . . ..V . j Mr. H. N. Askins is prospecting near Georgetown. S. C.

Dr. Harden of Cheraw has been appointed on the countv board of exemptions in place of Dr. Wannamaker, who is within the registration ages. Notice has been given that drafted men may yet enlist as volunteers if they do so before they receive notice to appear before the exemption board for examination. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Parker Saturday morning, but it died. The body was buried Saturday at the cemetery at the Baptist church. Many friends sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Parker in this bereavement. A play, "A Girl In a Thous and" will be given at Jenkins Gross Roads in Lanes Creek township Thursday night of this week by the canning club girls of that community. Admission 10 and 15 cents. Mr. Thomas Gulledge and Miss Nell Allen, both of the Cross Road section, were mar ried Sunday at Cross Roads by Notary B. V. Waddell.

Cato has resigned as pastor of the Lancaster church he has served heretofore, his resignation being effective as soon as the church can secure another pastor. His health for several months has not been good and the long trips and hard work were too much for him, he stated in discussing the matter. Flooded markets and the continued rains of the past several days have made cantaloupe growing a loosing proposition for most of the growers in this section Only one solid car has been shipped, but the local shipments continue. If the weather should be fair during the next several days it is possible that another car will be shipped. The COiirt llOUSC und nthnr places in the county where in formation can be had in regard to the draft" lists have been thronged with people, principally young men who registered on June 5th." There seems to have been an idea that enough time would not be allowed for obtaining information, and besides, each young man has had a desire to know just where he -?

C. were here Monday on their way to Mt Croghan, where Dr. Gale went to take his former position as pharmacist for the Mt. Croghan Drug company. Dr.Gale has had a sore leg for years, and he has not worked any since last October because of it. The leg is somewhat improved, however, and he hopes to be able to remain at his post at Mt Croghan. Dr. Gale formerly lived here, and is well and favorably known in this section as well as at Mt. Croghan, where he lived before coming to Pageland. Ilis son, Mr. M. P. Gale, recently resigned his position as manager of the above named firm and accepted a position at Florence. Mr. F. H. Murray, acting high way engineer, looked over the road from Cheraw to Five Forks by way of Pageland Monday with a view to establishing a | state highway through the county. At Cheraw he was met by Messrs. G. W. Duvall, G. A. Spruil. G. A. Sherrill and G. A. Bunch. Mr. Duvall loaded these men into his big car and started over the line. At Ches terfield the Court House township committee met the party and presented arguments in favor of the location of the road by Ruby, Mt. Croghan and Pageland. \t Ruby Mr. D. II. McGregor presented his views in his usual forceful stvle. At Mt. Croghan a splendid crowd met the party and the men were not backward in giving the engineer their views about the proper route for the road. At Pageland dinner was served at one of the j hotels, and a good crowd gatherj ec to discuss the proposition. A ' number of cars joined the party here and they went on to Five Forks. From there they went to Jefferson to listen to the other side of the proposition. Mr. Murray listened patiently to the various claims, and departed without committing himself definitely. Those who want the road by Pageland are very hope ful of results from the trip. Several months will plnnsp hpforp any real work can be done, but it is hoped that a survey may be made within a few weeks to lo cate the route. Mr. Murray praised the interest manifested in the road, both on this line [and at Jefferson, and seemed glad both sections are pulling for the road. Are You Saving the Surplus Fruits and Vegetables? What have you done in the way of preparedness? Have you secured your supply of cans and saved all of the perishable produce on vour farms and gardens? Last spring public meetings were held and and appeals made to all people throughout the nation to prepare for the exegen cies of the war. We have heard war talk so much until it has become commonplace, and it no longer excites the interest in food production that it did last spring when flour first reached Si2.00 per barrel. Have you read the papers and seen how wheat and all provisions have taken another soaring, and how cotton is tumbling down? This goes to prove that the cotton will not buy the things we will need to eat. even if we had good cotton crops. Your chairman took the re sponsibility upon/ himself to buy fifteen thousand /cans which are being sold at cost. The way in which the people are calling tor them seems to indicate that it was a wise action Most people have already canned what they will need for home consumption What have you done? What has your neighbor done? The most needy, the less provi dent and the shiftless classes have done nothing along the line of canning and preserving. It is to vour interest to see that they save as well as you, for it they.are continually buying on the markets that will make what you have to buy more costly, For Watermelons in any quantity, enquire for A.
