I 1 Tte PanelMHl JwtmI December 19,1917 I ( Local News ]' f Union prayer meeting will be held at Rose Hill tonight. Mr. B. B. Eubanks has moved his jewelry and repair shop from the Pageland Drug company to Mr. W. J. Blakeney's store. The snow caught a number of Pageland citizens with little or no wood, and the protracted siege is causing an unheard of demand for wood. Only a few loads hdvp hppn on tho strpptc and there was no trouble ia selling. So far as The Journal is informed there has been no ac > V tual suffering because of the cold. The Pageland school was not in session Wednesday and Thursday of last week because of the saow. Then on Monday, as the weather was still rough, it was decided that there would be no more school until Monday after Christmas, December 31 st, and several of the teachers have returned to their homes to spend the holidays. Mr. Leroy McColl, who revcently left here and returned to City Point, Va. where he had a position ixr a powder plant, writes from Rochmond that he has enlisted in the aviation corps, and asks that his paper be sent to Fort Sam Houston, Tex. Ilis letter was written on the 12th, and he stated that he would leave for Fort Thomas, Ky. that night for a few days. Page camp Woodmen of the World met in regular meeting last y Saturday night and the follow - ing officers were elected to serve for the year 1918: R. F. Smith, C. C.; J. A. Mangum, A. L.; D. E. Clark, Banker; J. W. Quick, Clerk; S. B. Eubanks, Escort; T. L. Smith, Watchman; J. L. Cato, Sentry; Dr. Thos. Duncan, Physician; J. C. Mant gSP- Manager for three years, * >$A. Pifcg, Jr.. Manager for two years. i ' Mr. R. A. Carpenter and family were in Charlotte last Wednesday after the snow had come. He states that there was very little coal or wood in the city or at Camp Greene. The ^soldiers bought about all the axes to be had. and went to the woods. Reports from the camp jSunday were to the effect that the boys were still cutting wood, and joking about the "sunny South," Coal was so scarce that the schools in the city were disbanded. Like reports come from Columbia and other cities. The coal supply is so short, that ^ the most rigid economy is necessary to keep the supply from giving out entirely. No inline diate relief is in sight either. A fire company has been organiged here since the recent fire on Peqrl street. S. B. Eubanks is chief and T. B. Smith is assistant. H. B. Sowell is secretary and treasurer The members of the company have been devided into teams. Joe M. Rollings is captain of one team and J. L. Cato is assistant. Guv Watts is captain of the other team and and G. C. Mungo is his assistant Two large force pumps and 420 feet of hose have been bought. Extension ladders, hooks, poles, buckets, etc are being assembled for real fire fighting. The town is dotted with wells,and it is the purpose of the men to have enough hose to drop into a well and reach a fire anywhere in town. The j equipment is being bought with private subscriDtions. Tht? town has needed some kind of j fire fighting apparatus, and The j Journal is pleased to know that < this move is being made. It is i to be hoped however, that no i chance to trv their skill will i come within ten years. 1 * C '/ j .

Mr. Clyde Brown, a 16-yearold youth of Cheraw, committed suicide Sunday morning by shooting himself. Nk> reason for the act was given. Wh?n he was waked Sunday morning by his aunt he remarked that he was going to shoot hirftself, but as he had made similar remarks before, nothing was thought of it. In a moment the report of a pistol was heard and the boy was soon dead. The body Vvas carried to Columbia for burial. The citizens of Pageland have employed Mr. G. M. Rodgers to fill out the questionaire* for tha registrants who live in this section and who do not care to go to the county seat to hiive this done. For this work Mr. Rodg ers will be paid by the citizens here, and no charge will be made to the registrant.
