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 Page land, S. C., under Postal Act of March 3,1879. . ftrtnher 1917 The campaign to sell Liberty Bonds to the amount of three billion dollars began in various parts of the country Monday. We have decided not to invest more than ten or fifteen thousand dollars in these bonds lest we deprive some other good teUow of the privilege of lending his money to Uncle Sam. Monday was the first day of the new month and was the day tor collecting. It is safe to say, however, that the storekeeper at - McBee who has an account against Uncle Sam will have to wait a while yet. Some soldier boys are said io have stopped over there for a short while, and after thev had drunk what they wanted at the drug store they walked out and called back, "Charge it to Uncle Sam." The negro recruits are coming into the camps all over the country, and in many places they are presenting a problem for the officers as there are no negro regiments to which they mr... : i T o .1. uc ua^gucu. iu ouuni Carolina about 2,000 are expected to report at Camp Jackson Satur day. The camp is ready for \ them, and probably there will be no difficulty in making assignments. The negro conscript is something new under the sun and results will be awaited with interests. Supervisor E. R. Knight stated Monday that he could not get here with the county chain gang to aid in building the road from Pageland to the State line before Wednesday of next week. He had previously set October the first as the date he would come, but as he failed to finish the work he had planned, he remains in the sand hill section a few days longer. The Federal aid for South Carolina has been taken up for this year and no money will be available for this piece of work. The people, however, cooperating with the county gang, can soon make mis road a good one. Every man in the community who believes in good roads should assist what he can in the effort to make this a hard surfaced road. "What about the cantonment?" is heard on every hand, and no one can answer it definitely. All the data is now in the hands of the War Depart ment at Washington, and a definite decision is hoped for some time this week. The data concerning this site was sub mitted along with that of a number of others including several out West, and no one can say where the lange will be located until the war department makes a decision. This site has several advantages over any others available and it is believed that the chances are very good that the site in this county will be selected from the entire list as the best site to be had. The people await anx iously the final decision. All building, renting and trading , within the proposed site is at a standstill. No one knows how to proceed. If the land is to be converted into a training camp for the soldiers the people will have to 'moved out and find homes alsewhere. No wonder the people are anxiaus. \J Results of Fxamination -Last 1 Thursday The examination of the meh called in the third call in Ches terfield county was held at the county seat last Thursday.
