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 otfice at Pageland, S. C., undeV Postal Act of March 3, 1879. September 26, 19i7 No definite news is yet available as to Chesterfield county's chances of getting the rifle and artillery range we have heard so much about. The matter is in ^1. I ? / .1 * me nanas 01 ine governmeniai authorities, and the final dicis ion will probably not be made until after October 1st. A number of the possible sites have been weeded out, and Chesterfield is still in the list, and it is believed that our chances are good. Favetteville, N C. is still in the race, but the site in this county is probably the best in a number of respects. Mr. G. W. Duvall went to Charleston yesterday to do what he could, and no stone is being left .unturned. ^ > 9 The war news is still encouraging for the Allies. The Russians have stopped running and reorganization of the army is said to be in progress. Germany is failing in another attack upon Verdun, and also continues to talk of peace. Argentina has ordered her army and navy to mobilize at once, which may foreshadow actual participation in the warat an early date on the side of the Allies. The United States is almost daily exposing German intrigue in this country, 1 ? ana mus snowing up tne sneaking meanness of the Germans, and all the while going right along with the preparations to wkip ffiemT It appears that every day that passes makes victory more certain for the Allies. m m Mr* Roland Beaslev, who has been editor of the Monroe Journal since that paper was es tablished more. than twentv three years ago, has been ap-~ pointed Commissioner of Public Welfare for North Carolina, and will go to Raleigh and devote his time to the duties of this newlv created office after the first of October. Mr. Beasley therefore gives up his place as editor of the paper he has edited so ably, and turns over the edi torship to his nephew, Mr. John Beasley. \vh6 has spent much of his life in the office of this pop ular paper. Mr. G. M. Beasley, brother of Mr. R. F. Beasley and one of the founders of the paper, will remain in charge of the mechanical and business end of the papei. With G. M. Beas ley, at the helm, and his son John as editor the Journal will go on as before. The editorials ^ A t\ A ll- - may nui reneci me experience and deep thinking of the former editor, still John writes some very interesting stuff and the readers will dobtless be iust as eager for the paper. Here's wishing for R. F. pleasure and efficiency in his new work, and success for G. M. and John with The Journal. Wood's Seeds Rosen Rye The most vigorous growing and productive of Seed Ryes.

"Would you be insulted if I should tell you that you look much like President Wilson?" we asked a traveling salesman here yesterday morning. "No, sir, I would not. People very often tell me that," he replied. "His brother lived in mv town for. several years and I am even more like him than like Wood row" ( And the fellow does actually resemble the president so much that we noticed it across the street and went over to ascer ( tain whether or not the presi ( dent had come down incognito ; to spend some time in the best | town at all. , I Mr. J. R. Cato is a man who ' belives in doing one thing at a time, and one only. He enjoys a discussion of the war and other topics with his fellow townsman, and not infrequently does he come across the street for a little chat when the customers at his store are not very numerous. One morning last week he was reclining in a Ford in front of the Hardware store and taking an active part in the dsscussion of events, past and present, when he saw Henry Sowell enter his store, presuma ply to purchase something. He called to him "Hey! Come out of there. Can't vou find it some where else?" V^.WVWVWW'JI , ijPolicy jfrotects your ? >n by lightning.
