In a Charlotte paper Friday was an article saying that Mr. Earl Pigg, son of Mr. and MrsH. D. Pigg of Pageland, had been arrested on a charge of stealing an army overcoat and carrying it to a pressing club to have it shortened and dyed. At the hearing given Mr. Pigg Friday, however, it developed that the coat in question was not stolen at all, but that it was bought from one of the soldier boys who preferred to dispose of it for the cash. It also devel ooed at the hearing that it had become an ordinary occurrence for the armv boys to sell articles of clothing to the camp work men to secure cash when they needed it. Mr. Pigg had seen the others do it, so he bought a coat. As it happened, though, the officials had become suspicious and notified the pressing J clubs to 'phone them the next r time army clothing was brought | in for alteration. Mr. Pigg hap- f pened to be the next one, and was therefore carried into police court. After the hearing he f was dismissed.

Mun go Bros. : : U'fasb : ; A number of persons evidently misread the little piece in this column last week about Mr. S. H. Lanev. They say the last sentence conveyed the idea that Mr. Lanev used profanity in his talk to Mr. C. L. Gulledge. No such intention was in the mind of the writer, and we regret very much that such an impression should have been made. Mr. Lanev lias always been one of the Journal's staunchest supporters, and he is held in high esteem by the writer of the junk column, else we would not write about him so often. We hear that a great many of our readers, some of them grayhaired, took a very piominent part in the dancing under the 49 tent at the county fair last week. Others were only interested spectators. We shall not tell on any of thorn except those who fail to pay up their subsciptions at once. The dollar is the price of silence. Lest our readers, if any, should ueeuuie uneasy as to tne wellbeing: of Prof. John Terry, vve would say that at last accounts he had almost abandoned thh shade in his yard for a seat in his Ford. Flis name has been tvitccarwir in oiiiiiK in 1111a iuk uji MHI1C time, as a result of the unusually quiet and well behaved period in his career. . e
