Fought Arrest

The arrest was due to good luck on
the part of the postal authorities. Quig-
ley was seized on suspicion of being
wanted in ST. Louis for raising money
orders. An alleged confederate named
George f. Windall was arrested with
him. but is held on a technical charge.
Quigley fought against arrest and tried
to get loaded pistol from his pocket,
but was overpoWered by the inspectors.
His alleged confederate submitted to
arrest. Both denied they knew each
ether, although the inspectors saw
them together
When told to open his grip Quigley
protested and said he could not be
made to give it up. 1t contained a large
bundle with old newspapers for a
wrapper. Inside were found certificates
Of stock of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road, the Chicago, Burlington & Quin-
cy Railroad, New York City stock. and
other securities Of aggregate face value
of 100000. A sight draft for $4,000
drawn on S. 3. Chaplin & Co, Lock-
hart & Co, of Baltimore, also was
found in the satchel attached to GER
tificates for 100 shares of Union Pa
cific and 100 shares Of Northern Pa
clfic stock.
Chief Postoffice Inspector j. c. Rooms
said he believed that the satchel contain
ed all the securities which had been sent
from Baltimore in the registered mail
pouches stolen on the New York ferry
boat. Some Of the securities found In
the satchel were mailed from Washing
ton One of the stolen pouches was from
Baltimore and three were from Washing
ton. Inspector Koons said that there
had not been time enough to check up
all the securities found in the satchel,
but from early Identification tonight he
says that they were those stolen on the
ferryboat.
Quigley said that the satchel had been
left on the train by man and woman
who got off at Philadelphia and that he
took it. This was all that he would say
after three hours examination in the fed
eral office here. He said he was on his
way to New Orleans from New York.
one theory OF the poStOffice authorities
here is that he came on intending to
make deal with the persons owning the
securities The officials think that Thom-
as +. Benson, who was released in New
York today on bail on the charge OF
stealing some other pouches, Is a confed- !
crate of Quigley, and that one took the
jewelry and the other the securities.
Quigley said that he is 36 years old
and lives in New, York, but that his home
is in Ridgefield Park, N. j. Windall said !
he met Quigley on the train when he was |
on his way to Baltimore to 3ook for work.

Note and Proba-

Berlin, April 21.-(Via London, April
22).-Nothing has yet developed as a
result of the receipt Of the American
note to Germany concerning Germany's
submarine warfare. No expression Of
opinion is obtainable from the foreign
tained.
AS far as The Associated Press has
been made acquainted with the senti-
ment in high quarters it would be
wrong to regard the situation as any
thing but extremely grave. The note
probably will be answered some time
next week after serious consideration
has been given the american conten-
ton, but there is little hope that any
answer can go to the length demanded
by the Washington government, de-
spite the fact that the government de-
slres to maintain good relations with
the United States. The sentiment is
against any further weakening of Ger
many's submarine campaign, to say
nothing of an abandonment Of it.

PEAS FOR FEED

For The first time in MANY
years peas are cheaper than
corn. More peas were grown
last year than ever before, and
there is little market fol, them.
Some farmers are buying them
to mix with corn to feed to work
stock. There are 4 pounds more
in a 5ushel than corn, and peas
are said 10 be richer in food val
ue. Why then should peas be
sacrificed at 90 cents and a dol
lar a bushel when corn is retail
ing for a dollar and ten cents?
The low price may cause less to
be grown this year, and there
are seldom two bumper pea
crops made in succession, any
way, SO man is not foolish to
plant peas again.

BURNING THE WOODS

Forest fires are unfortunate to
say the least. The fires down
Black creek last week damaged
land and timber to the amount
of thousands of dollars. The
pines in much of the burned area
had been turpentined years ago
and the old boxes were full.
This caused the fire to eat into
the trees and destroy that part of
the timber. Some Of this land
had not been burned over in
several years and the straw and
leaves were thick. This made
the fire hotter and some of the
fair-sized trees were scorched to
the top.
There is a law against starting
forest fires, and we hope to pub
lish it next week.

FLOWING WET LAND

The plows on many farms
were started again too soon after
the rains, and much land has
been damaged more than the
ploWlng was worth. There is
perhaps, nothing that a man can
do that will destroy the texture
of The land quicker than to plow
1t wet. Teams pIowing wet
land are doing worse than
nothing. Better keep the mules
in the stables or pasture and let
the boys go fishing if you can't
find ANYTHING more important to
do than plow up wet land. You
are wasting the energy of your
hands and teams, destroying the
value of your land, and gaining
nothing. Keep the plows out
until the soil is dry enough to
plow.

The price of cotton has been
looking upward for a few days,
as IS its custom at this season Of
the year. Bite. Plant every
thing in cotton because if the
price should continue to go up

And if it don't maybe you will

LATE EASTER

Easter Sunday comes late this
year, and this fact gives rise to
the question, "How is the date
determined" Easter occurs on
the first Sunday after the first
full moon on or after March 2lst.
This year the moon fulled just
before the 2lst, so that the next
one will be after the middle of
April. Then the following Sun.
day will be the 23rd, the day on
which Easter falls. This annual
church festival corresponds TO
the old Jewish Passover, and is
commemorative of the resurrec.
ton of Jesus. 1t may occur anv
time from the 22nd of March to
The Pageland journal. [volume] (Pageland, S.C.) 1911-1978, 1916-03-22

the 24th of April. 1t has occurr.
ed as late as the 23rd but once in
the memory of the writer. This
was in 1905. The next latest
April 10Th in 1908. The earliest
it has occurred IN IS years was
in 1913 when it was on March
23rd. 1t was on April 18th last
year.
You may ask some of the
grandpas or grandmas whether
late easter means a late spring.
We can't tell you that.
