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., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. October 17, 1917 Buy a Government bond with some of that money you are re ceiving for cotton. It is a better and safer investment than inter est bearing bank deposits. The National Government is stronger than any bank, the bonds pay four per cent interest, and the interest may be collected at any post olfice or bank. Uncle Sam asks for part of the surplus with which he will fight to make our lives and property safe. Be loyal to your Government, or get out from under it. ^ At last work has begun on the road from Pageland to the state line. For years this has needed to be done, but not until now has there seemed to be an imme diate prospect of a good road leading north from Pageland. The county gang has been moved and is now at work straightening this road and shaping it. Private subscriptions have been raised, and the work is expected to move steadily forward until a good road is built, which means that the old road will be widened, straightened, rounded, surfaced and smoothed. The subscriptions thus far raised will probably not be enough to complete the work, but it is believed that many others will join in when they see that the work is sho 'nuff going to be done. Ahead in Divorces Granted Monroe Journal. Poor South Carolina! Even Tucker admits she occupies the lowest position in the glory of the States column, but consoles himself with the thought that North Carolina is nosed from 4.1 ? ? ? lue douom piace dv nis native State. There is one exception, the Pageland editor says, and that is the pure food law, which safeguards the health of horses and mules. Yet there is another, and it is a wonder Tucker hadn't thought of it. North Carolina leads in the number of divorces granted annually, while South Carolina makes a clean record in this respect each year. The South Carolina divorce law, you know, was repealed in 1878, and since then the Palmetto state people have been coming across the line to have the binding ties severed. , We like to rile Tucker occasionally, as we are always re warded by something good from his paper- He went after us in grand style in the last issue of his paper on the South Carolina pure food law.
