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

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. Mr.
Rodgers office will be over tbe
Bank of Pag^land and he will
be there from 9 to 3 each day.
ft is very important that these
blanks be filled out properly,
ind Mr. Rodgers will familiarize
himself with the Monks so thai
he can fill them out rapidly and
:orrectly. This will store the
registrants in this section the
irice of a trip to Chefterfield,
ind make it certain tkat the
ilanksare properly filled out.
