Mrs. J. H. Gulledge and children

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,

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, . . .

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

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.

young men who registered on

Dr. J.^\h Gale, Miss Mary and
Bruce Gale, of Polkton, N. 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,
