THE ROAD

There has been much agita-
ton here this week in favor of
the Immediate building of a
good road from Chesterfield to
Lancaster. The people appear
to be much interested, and it is
believed that the work may be
done in August of this year. An
informal meeting of the citizens
OF Pageland was held yesterday
morning, and a committee was
appointed to put through this
proposition at the earliest pos.
sible moment. The committee
is composed by the following
gentlemen: H. V. Mungo, chair
man; r. M. Usher, S. F. Ingram,
G. F. Evans. G. Nj. Tucker.
This committee was instructed
to get in touch with Supervisor
Knight and get a proposition
from the county through him.
1t is proposed that the road
from Chesterfield to Five Forks
be worked and put into good
condition, and that the road be
built from Five forks across the
river by the best route, one to
be established perhaps by the
State Highway Engineer.
1t is believed that the people
at Mt. Croghan, Ruby, Chester
field and Cheraw will join in
this undertaking to make a
good road east and west across
the county. Private subscrip
tions will probably be called for
in addition to the aid from the
county. Then it is expected
that Federal aid will be obtained
to supplement this. In this way
1t is hoped and believed that a
good road west from Pageland
across Lynche's river is soon to
be a reality instead of dream.
The road from the river TO
Lancaster is in fairly good con
dition already, and if we build
a road on this side it is believed
that Lancaster county will make
1t even better on that side of the
river.

John Doesn't Believe Our yarns
John Beasley tells so many
yarns in the Monroe Journal
that he can't believe the honest
truth when he sees it. Here is
what he said last week above
a couple of our stories which he
reprinted:
II would say that Carl Tucker
IS printing a paper for the fishes
were it not for the fact that l am
always one of the first to swal
low his bait. l have been of
the opinion that Zeb Green has
been stretching his imagination
just little of late, but l now
realize that he is not even in
the class with Tucker. Even
Nesbit of Waxhaw, who oc
casionally abandons the realm
of reality. is thrust into insignifi-
canoe by couple of stories that
Tucker tells in the last issue of
his paper.
Being away last week, I
missed the story about the earth
quake curing a mans rheuma
tism, but if it is worse than the
one about the earthquake that
shook the clock into action I
want none of it,"

The Pageland journal. [volume] (Pageland, S.C.) 1911-1978, 1917-07-11

Jefferson and the u. S. Govern.
ment, as he must keep his
pledge.
The route through Jefferson
will not run so near the N. c.,
line all through the county,"
Now. this is a rather extreme
arraignment of the roads on
which Pageland happens to be
located, and The Journal feels
it a duty to answer some of the
arguments, hoping that all that
may be said or done on either
side may be done or said in a
friendly, neighborly spirit of
rivalry. We have no desire to
disparage the efforts of the Jet
ferson people in road building.
but rather we are desirous of
commanding the splendid efforts
they have made and are still
making. We do not even blame
them for attempting to pull the
government,aided highway by
Jefferson. Their enterprise is
commendable. Now for the
argument.
Yes, we agree that some sur.
veying has been done. To
begin with, the original Chester.
field Lancaster road is along the
same route as the present road
by Pageland. In December 1914
an expert engineer made a map
of proposed roads connecting
all the county seats in the State.
This was approved by Com
missioner E. ]. Watson. The
proposed road would have come
by Pageland. Besides that, the
road from Chesterfield to Lyn-
che's river is built on a ridge
and no streams of importance
are crossed. Pageland is just a
very little north of a straight
line from Chesterfield TO Ian.
caster. and the distance is II or
IS miles less this way than by
Jefferson and Kershaw.
We hadn't realized that our
roads are the worst in the State,
though we frankly admit they
are not what we would like to
have them. This IS why we
want aid to make them better.
We agree most heartily with the
Jeffesonian that the county
should have made this a good
road years ago.
The Jeffersonian says a wise
civil engineer advised that the
road go by Jefferson. If it isn't
asking TOO much we would like
for the Jeffersonian TO tell us
who the engineer is and on
what grounds he based his ad
wise. Was he wholly disinter
ested, and did he look the other
route over?
Our contemporary states that
"Pageland is on the worst
stretch of road to Monroe and
other N. c. points" This is en-.
tirely off the question under dis
cussion, and seems to reflect a
desire to condemn Pageland for
shortcomings rather than show
why the highway should go fiji
teen miles out of the way. Jef
terson has not been out of the
mud so long that she should
throw stones, especially when it
is remembered that her recently
built roads in some sections of
township are somewhat short of
perfection. if any notice is to be
given citizens who say there
are sections almost impas sable.
We agree that Pageland is on
the main road leading north,
and this is a big reason WHY
this highway from Chesterfield
should come this way.

is the LOGICAL noinf of q hinh

AN INTERESTING LETTER.

The Gazette is in receipt of the
following interesting letter from Mr.
]. A. Turpin Of Waterproof:
"Mrs. Turpin and 1 have just re-
turned from visit to my sister, Mrs.
f. 8. Drake, at Port Gibson, and our
daughter, Mrs. s. A. Turpin, at
Rollin Fork, Miss, and while at the
latter place we paid visit to our son,
White Turpin, on Sunfiower river, in
Snnflower county, and also to our
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Joel Myers in
Issaquena county, Miss.
"Crops are very good where we
visited but rather backward, owing
to the late season and long drought;
however, l found very few boil

lates to the marriage of our grand
daughter, Francis Turpin, daughter of

Francis was to have visited with us at
Waterproof and left Rolling Fork with
her grandmother and me on our re-
turn trip, but upon reaching Vicks-
burg the young man of her choice
also showed up, and instead of having
. visit from her we beheld her become
q bride. The groom is a most worthy
young man and comes from a good
oldstime Mississippi family.

RED CROSS NEEDSFUND
"Drive" for $100,0 900, 900 Opens
+ Throughout Country.
New York and Chicago Will Give at
Least $4,000, ooo-Every Region
Must Be Generous Now.

Uncle Sam is calling for Red Cross
fund of 500, 100000 to enable the Red
Cross to give the proper care to the
sick and wounded, the homeless and
the desolate when his men get into
the fighting In earnest. New York city
has promptly pledged itself to "raise
one-fourth Of whatever sum is needed"
and is now collecting the money. Chi
cag0 will be asked for something be-
tween 100000 and 100000. the
levy based on population and credit
rating.
Mr.. q. B. Towne has been appointed
by Washington as director Of the Red
Cross war fund campaign, for the CEN
trail division, and will open a drive
for the money in nine states as soon
as 1t has been determined just how
much he needs.
The money will be raised by sub
scription among the various chapters,
and 1t has been arranged that each
chapter shall have one-fOurth Of what
ever sum 1t raises. Mr.. TOwne hopes
that the country will raise enough to
give the national organization its full
$1OO,OOO,OOO over and above what the
chapters retain.
The Red Cross is compelled to raise
its fund from the people because 1t has
so small an endowment fund-less than
50, 600, OOO-while Japan. for instance,
has more than $13.OOO,OO0 in her fund,
the income from which pays all ex-
penses.
The money is necessary to keep up
the supplies and equipment Of the base
hospitals, and for relief work in war.
