f Union prayer meeting will be ^
held at Rose Hill tonight. ^
Mr. B. B. Eubanks has moved
his jewelry and repair shop from r
the Pageland Drug company to n
Mr. W. J. Blakeney's store. F
The snow caught a number
of Pageland citizens with little ^
or no wood, and the protracted !
i i _ r
aurge is causing aii uuuearu 01 j
demand for wood. Only a fewloads
have been on the streets, j
and there was no trouble in s
selling. So far as The Journal is I
informed there has been no ac *
tual suffering because of the
cold. P
The Pageland school was not in
session Wednesday and ?
Thursday of last week because 1
of the saow. Then on Monday,
as the weather was still rough, f
it was decided that there would r
be no more school until Monday (
after Christmas, December 31st, a
and several of the teachers have c
returned to their homes to spend
the holidays. j
Mr. Leroy McColl, who recently
left here and returned to x
City Point, Va. where he had a (
position iff a powder plant, i
writes from Rochmond that he I
has enlisted in the aviation corps, (
and asks that his paper be sent I
to Fort Sam Houston, Tex. His
letter was written on the 12th, j
and he stated that he would |
leave for Fort Thomas, Ky. that
night for a few days.
Page camp Woodmen of ibe i
World met in regular meeting last ?
v Saturday night and the follow <
ing officers were elected to |
serve for the year 1918: R. F. i
Smith, C. C.; J. A. Mangum, A.
L.; D. E. Clark, Banker; J. W. \
Quick, Clerk; S. B. Eubanks, i
Escort; T. L. Smith, Watchman;
J. L. Cato, Sentry; Dr. Thos. (
Duncan, Physician; J. C. Man- J
-1 gum, Manager for three years, j
' A. Pifcg, Jr., Manager for t
two years. t
Mr. R. A. Carpenter and fam- i
ily were in Charlotte last Wed- t
nesday after the snow had come. (
He states that there was verv lit- ?
tie coal or wood in the city or at a
Camp Greene. The soldiers
bought about all the axes to be
had. and went to the woods. r
Reports from the camp Sunday ^
were to the effect that the boys *
were still cutting wood, and 1
joking about tke "sunny South," r
Coal was so scarce that the 1
schools in the city were dis c
banded. Like reports come 1
from Columbia and other cities.
The coal supply is so short, that N
the most rigid economy is nee- 1
essary to keep tne supply from ^
giving out entirely. No inline diate
relief is in sight either.
A fire company has been or
ganiged here since the recent s
fire on Pearl street. S. B. Eubanks {
is chief and T. B- Smith is assis- 1
tant. H. B. Sowell is secretary '
and treasurer The members of s
the company have been devided |
into teams. Joe M. Rollings is i
captain of one team and J. b. f
Cato is assistant. Guv Watts v
/
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 f
bought. Extension ladders, (
hooks, poles, buckets, etc are t
I * - * ' '
ueing assembled lor real fire d
fighting:. The town is dotted ^
with wells,and it is the purpose of J
the men to have enough hose to
drop into a well and reach a Ii
tire anywhere in town. The b
equipment is being bought with J1
private subscriptions. The }
town has needed some kind of j,
fire fighting apparatus, and The h
Journal is pleased to know that c<
this move is being made. It is r<
to be hoped however, that no p
. chance to trv their skill will ai
come within ten years. b!
I '
Winzo school! has been dfs- N
uesday from ^Oainesvi lie, 6a.|
The Journal is* asked to say

The most slippery time we j
lave seen was Monday morning.

ught froze as it fell, and left a
:oi.t of ice one fourth of an
nch thick. Quite a number of

Ded as a result of a fall.
Messrs. Ward Cato and Ed
Redfearn came home Saturday
iroDi Bailey Military Academy
it Greenwood to spend the holidays.
They came earlier than
they had expected. Coal was
scarce, and the steam pipes that
warmed the building bursted by
freezing:, and school was dismissed
until after th<i holidays.
The past week has probably
leen the roughest week coming
before Christmas in 20 years.
The 5-inch fall of snow on Tues
lay night of last week has remained
on the ground, toe temast
week bis thermometer regis
ered only 2 degrees above zefo1.
Others report as low as 6 derrees,
and on several mornings
he mercury was down to tf?n
mil eleven.
i
The questionaires are being:
nailed out by the local board
taily, one twentieth being: maild
each dav. Every one who
egistered is supposed to get one
egardless of the fact that he
nav have been discharged or
ixempted bv the lortal or dis
net boird. All these discharges
mil exemptions have been re
'oked, and each man will) be
>laced in one of the five classes.
J lass 1 will be called first, class
! next, and so on down the list.
Mr. Clyde Hrown, a 16-year>ld
youth of Cheraw, commited
suicide Sunday morning oy
.hooting himself. Njo reason
or the act was givqfo. When
le was waked Sunday morning
>y his aunt he remarked that he
vas going to shoot himself, but
is he had made similar remarks
>efore, nothing was thought of
t. In a moment the report of a
nstoi was beard and the boy
vas soon dead. The body \V.is
carried to Columbia for burial.
The citizens of Pageland have
artployed Mr. G. M. Rodgers to
ill out the questionairea for the
egistrants who live in this secion
and who do not care to go
0 the county seat to have this
lone, hoi this work Mr. Rodg
rs will be paid by the citizens
ere, and no charge will be
lade to the registrant. Mr.
lodgers office will be over the
lank ol Pageland and he will
e there from to 3 each day.
1 is very important that these
lanks be filled out properly,
nd Mr. Rodgers will familiarize
iinself with the blanks so that
r ? ?
e can mi inem out rapidly and
Directly. This will save the
tfistrants in this section the
rice of a trip to Chefterfield,
nd make it certain that the
lanksare properly filled out.
