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

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

"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

board will come with poor

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

and the doctor was congratula

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

Cut Joy Ride?Save Gasoline F
If the United States govern J
ment is to have the petroleum it \
will need to prosecute the war -
7 I
successfully the public will have
to economize in the use of gas- oline.
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.

"Can you tell by the bumps on a
man's head what sort of disposition he
has?"
"Phrenologists claim to be able to do
that. However, a person of ordinary

bumps on a man's head what sort of
disposition his wife has."

Old English Physicians.
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. If England
has produced Doctor Avhuthnot, It has I
also had such practitioners as grutT
