OLD BOOZE HAS "WENT"
Last Saturday night all distilleries
and breweries in the United
States ended their lawful existence,
and this great country has
landed squarelv on the water
wagon. Until the war is over
at least not a drop of any intoxi
eating drink of any kind can
be lawfully manufactured in the
whole Nation, including all the
states, territories and the District
of Columbia. In accordance
with authority recently vested
in him by an act of Congress,
Food Administrator Hoover no
tified all distillers that their establishments
must be closed
i_ + < ? ?
dy it ociock last Saturday
night. The law is of the strictest
sort, and there appears to
be absolutely no loophole as all
cereals, potatoes, fruits, molasses,
grapes, apples, or by products,
fruit parings, cannery refuse,
beet sugar, molasses, sour wine
or other foods, feed, "food materials
or the by-products thereof"
are included in the list of
things that can not be used to
manufacture strong drink. Mr.
Hoover evidently tried to in
elude in the list everything that
can be used for this purpose
and he seems to have thought of
them all. The distillers had ex
pected action of this kind, and
many of them had already arranged
to equip their plants for
the production of condensed
milk, temperance drinks and
other commodities. This action

The three miles of road be J
tween Pageland and the State j
line have been as a thorn in the t
flesh since and before Pageland ?
began to be the best town in the "
county. No one can estimate r
the cost of this bad piece of road I
to Pageland, to those who live I
on n and oiners wno travel it. I
It is a matter of common know- *
ledge that when the winter rains
and freezes come this road
invariably becomes so very
muddy that no automobilist will J
try it, and the man in any kind
of vehicle must be urged on by |
necessity before he cares to venture
into its depths. In winter *
it is too muddy for any satisfac- c
tory travel, and in summer it is J
usually very bumpy. Ten
thousand times it has been said, .
"That road ought to be fixed,"
and just that many times it has j3
not been.
Through the efforts of certain j
citizens of Pageland the acting }
State Highway Engineer has J
been pursuaded to send engi- g
neers here to survey this road f
and determine the amount of h
grading and filling necessary to J'
make this acceptable as a link of J
the State Highway. It has al- j
ready been determined that the a
road from Cheraw to Pageland t
and from Pageland to the State ?
line shall be designated as a ^
State Highway to be aided by b
funds from the appropriation ft
made for the purpose by the L
Congress of the United States.
Early Monday morning High- j,
way Engineer Murray 'phoned ?

orms us that he was unable to
>uy any horse feed there when
le spent the night. The shortige
of corn accordingly leads us
o the belief that Pageland has
irown into a city overnight."?
ohn Beasley in The Monroe
ournal.
As we expected, John comes
jowling about Wriston Lee's
ailure to get feed for his horse
tere on Sunday afternoon a tew
veeks ago. We would remind
ohn that our merchants close
or Sunday, and do not ordinariy
retail feedstuffs on that day
nd further that this is an age of
irogress. The farmers who do
lot plow with tractors grow
lieir feed, and do not have to
>uy. Those who live in town
>uy gasoline and leave the corn
dt Uncle Sam's use. Tell Mr.
,ee to trv a Ford next time, and
e'il probably find plenty of
^ed. Yes, Pageland has grown,
t is now almost as large as
Chicago?but of course' it isn't
uilt up quite so much.
