Mr. Roy Blakeney was carried to a Charlotte hospital yes tor^n.. f? *: I IV1UU7 liiuiuiUK 1U1 Uli U^ClitllUU | for appendicitis. ' Mr. Wilson Quick of Kollock spent Saturday and Sunday at the home of his parents here, Mr. and Mrs. A Quick. I Mr. R. K. Chisholm attended the funeral of his sister, Mrs. S. C. Dorsey, in Lincoln county N. C. Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Dorsey died at Badin Saturday night from apoplexy or paralysis, age about 55. Mr, D. B. Harrington returned to Pageland last week, after an operation in the Anson Sanato rium at Wadesboro for ulcer of the leg. He is now able to be out, though he still uses a stick. The Journal is asked to an nounce that there will be no preaching at Liberty Hill next Saturday afternoon, but that there will be service on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock and at night. Mr. Lawson Pigg, who has been in Richmond for some time, is at home here for a few days, after which he expects to return with Mr. Hobson Graves to Akron, Ohio, where they will work in a tire factory. Mr. Graves has been at Akron for several months. The home of Mr. F. W. Rivers near Chesterfield was destroyed by lire Thursday night, the fire starting in one of the rooms of the second story. Very little of the household goods was saved. The building was a splendid one. There was $1000 insurance on the house and contents. Rev. E. P. Hutson, of Summerville, S. C. is assisting Rev. J. W. Elkins in the meeting which is in progress at the M. E. church. The meeting began Sunday morning, but Mr. Hut son did not ariive until Monday afternoon. He is preaching some splendid sermons, full of gospel and common sense. The services are held at 4:30 in the afternoon and 8:3<> at night. The corn crop in this section bids fair to be the best ever. Much of the corn is about made, and a few more rains will make good corn in almost every field. Never before has the writer seen corn have as good color as this seasoo. Nearly all of it has remained green from the ground up, and a big long ear is on almost every stalk, and on many there are two. If the rains should cease, however, the late corn would parch and make practically nothing. The old corn would not fill out so well either if the ram stops. The cotton crop is only fairly good. Now that Charloite has the army station, nearly every man in this whole section has a de sire to journey to the queen city to get a glimpse of real army i:r? tl- i ?* inc. i ue nuge aviauon camp will probably attract more at tention than any other part of the entire affair. It is not known just how manv men will be there, but some guesses are as high as one hundred thousand. A military city of that size will be an eye opener for the people in a section where the younger generation has seen nothing resembling an army more than a score or two of State guards on parade at a fair or celebration, Born to Mr. and Mrs. H. B. , Sowell last Wednesday, a son Mrs. C. W. Stegall of Marsliville is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Ogburn. "Mr. J. C. Blackwell began a summer school at Hornsboro Monday. Mrs. W. J. DuRant of Seneca, S. C. is spending a few days at the home of Mr. J. C. Parker. "Aunt" Ellen Rorie, an aged negro of the olden times, died near Pageland Sunday. She was very old, probably 85 or 90. She had lived in this section all her life, and was known by a great many people. A barn on Mr. H. B Graves' farm three miles north of Pageland was destroyed by fire last night. The origin of the fire is unknown. No animals were burned. There was a little insurance. The various exemption boards have a hard and solmen task before them. We believe and hope they will discharge their -duties faithfully and fearlessly as outlined in the rules furnished them by the government. They can hardly do otherwise. Then !*:^! e ^ ' ? criticism 01 ine action or tne board will come with poor grace. For several weeks Mr. Lester Faulkenbury has been critically ill at Miss Threatt's hospital here, and he is little if any bet ter now. He did not have the money to pay his bills as thev come due. Officers Cato and Gregory have solicited aid here in town, and the response has been very gratifying. Four times they have asked for twen ty dollars, and each time it has been raised easily, making a total of eighty dollars that has been contributed. When a call comes for aid for the sick and suffering, Pageland citizens do not fail to respond. News of the accidental death of Mr. Walter Railings at Indian Trail, N. C. was received here yesterday afternoon. According to the report he was killed by a train yesterday morning, lie was a son of Mr. John Rail ings, who formerly lived in this section, and a nephew of Mr. E. M. Railings of Pageland. He was a fine young man, and one of the most prominent citizens of his town. Particulars are hard to get, but from reports it seems that he was crossing the track at Indian Trail, and that his head was cut oft by the wheels. It was one of the most deplorable accidents in the history of Union county. He was crossing between two trains, and one of them backed over him. The funeral will be held af Faulks church this afternoon. Farmer John left home one morning, and waited at the station for the limited. He climb ed aboard, and shambled into a car. "Mister," he drawled, when the conductor halted before him, "is that thar two cents a mile rate good on this train?" "It is," replied the conductor brusquely. "Where's your tick et?" The old man fumbled in the depths of an ancient shot bag. "Ain't got no ticket, mister," he said slowly, "but here be two cents. I never rode on one of these pesky flyers, and I just wanted to feel the sensation. Put me off after I've rode one mile." Mrs. Jenkins, a regular visitor in the doctor's consulting room, started on the long story of her troubles. The doctor endtired it nnf it?nfl v an*! r>oim ! ??? , t ....u mu ? v iiv-i (iiiviiuci bottle. At last she started out. and the doctor was congratula ting himself, when she stopped and exclaimed: "why, doctor, you didn't look to see if mv toi.gue was coated." "I know it isn't," wearily replied the medical man. "You doa't find grass on a race track.'' , Ir. O. IJ. A. M. Program for DU- V Irict Council Meeting at * Chesterfield ^ August 2nd, 1917.

Sufficient gasoline should be available to provide for all the normal uses of automobiles, but pleasure riding should be curtailed. People should look upon their automobiles as ne ' cessities, to be used only when needed. Not a gallon of gaso line should be used in the present emergency except for some useful end. This is the warning to the American people, especially to the owners of automobiles, sounded bv A. C. Bedford, presidentof the Standard Oil Company. Death Of Mrs. Sikes. Reported for The Journal Mrs. Mary Jane Sikes died last Wednesday about two o'clock at the home of Mr. H. D. Deese after a long|illness of about six months. She made her home with her daughter. She joined I the Baptist church when slie was a child and lived a most consis- 1 lent christian life. She had a bright mind and htr ready wit always sparkling but never used 1 to offend has brought cheer and dispelled gloom on many an c occasion.

The England of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was a rich field for physicians, and their Influence was extended In many directions. Some were very serious-minded parsons who did much to advance medical science? others were fumed for their adroit ways of amassing wealth.
