/ here is an epidemic of fever
in and anound Pageland, and a
good many persons have fallen
victim TO it within the past few
weeks. The peculiar feature of
IT IS that, while it is very conta-
gious, it seems to be almost in
durable. Then it is progressive
kind of fever, passing from one
stage to another at intervals.
The local doctor, who is an ex-
pert in his line, and his assistants
have made no effort to check
the disease, but on the other
hand, they seem 10 rejoice when
a new victim is found. This
fever is abroad in the land, and
there have been a few cases here
for quite a while. But recently
the number has greatly increased.
The fever is usually called Ford
fever. and Guy Watts and his
helpers keep a hospital open
regularly for aiding those who
desire aid Occasionally patient
begins TO recover but as he does
SO the next stage of the disease
takes hold and it is then called
A-~--weil Or Overland Or some
such name.

Mr.. w. f. Stevenson, candi-
date for congress from this dis.
trict, calls attention to the fact
the Democratic, the Republican
and the Progressive parties all
endorsed Rural Credits in their
platforms in 1912.
Congress has passed general
banking bill for mercantile pur-
poses, and boasts that it is the
greatest in the world. Why did
they forget the party pledge of
all the parties to take care of the
farmer? Is the law now propos.
ed calculated, if passed, to re-
lieve the need?
He will have more to say later
about this proposed law.

The weather has been cold
and some damage has been done
to the fruit crop, but it is hoped
that enough is yet uninjured to
make a fair crop. The early
blooming peaches seem to have
suffered most. But in case the
fruit is killed, there is hope for
the melons, blackberries and
huckleberries. A good crop of
these will aid very greatly in
