The Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Mornings by The Journal Company C. M. Tucker, Editor Subscription Price - - $1.00 Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at rageland, S. C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. September 17, 1917 The Pageland High school starts off with prospects of an other very successful year. The opening enrollment was good, and there is good reason to believe that this may be the best year in the history of the school, this will be impossible, however, without the the co-operation of the patrons. We hope to see hearty co operation on all sides. ABOUT THE CANTONMENT The big cantonment for Ches terfield county has been the chief topic of conversation for several days. The papers of the rnnntu unro rnnimctorl tn cnv 7 "VIV tVMUVUIVU IV v>u J nothing about it last week until more work could be done. This request was granted, though it was a great stor> to withhold, by the Journal and the Chesterfield Advertiser. The Jeffersonian carried a short article about it and we did not see the Cheraw Chronicle. By the time the county papers were circulated, however, the Charlotte Observer published an article about it, followed the same day by one in the Monroe Journal. We have consent of the promoters to run an article this week and it is printed on the first page. It is not news now, but perhaps there are some things in it on which the public mind is not ftclear. Nearly all the people we have heard express an opinion want the camp, but there are. of course, many who would be glad to see the effort end in failure. The citizens who have lived on the land for years and years, who have established homes there with a view to spending their life there would regret very much to be lorced away. Others who have been disappointed at the crop returns from sand land for two or three years would welcome a chance to sell out and move, As always, there are two sides to the proposition, but the bis: side seems to be in favor of the camp. The war news is not of the ex citing kind just now. Not much is heard from Russia; the Italians are gaining ground and holding it against repeated attempts to wrest it from them; the British and French in the West are steadily hammering away at the Germans, and there are reasons to believe that other gams of territory will follow within a short time; Germany has disa vowed the Swedish-Argentina telegrams, but Argentina is not satisfied yet; another Japanese mission is coming to America; and militorv nr<ir>nroi;??o 1 ... >mi j piv^aiailUllS llCIt? go forward without interruption.

Thev asI sembled at Cheraw vesterday afternoon, where a reception was given Ihem by the people of Cheraw. Supper was furnished free and a number of patriotic speeches were made to the boys and to the Confederate veterans who had been envited as guests of the Town of Cheraw. Right men were sent in the first contingent and they all passed the final examination. It is certain however that some of this fifty five will fail to pass, No negroes have yet been called, but the contingent of 66 which will leave on October 3th will be all negroes, according to plans of the county board.
