glQHT SEA WOLF REPORTED GOING AT URGE ' ^ferWan' Raider Continues to Be Centre of Interest in World War BERLIN ANNOUNCES CAPTURE OF TOWN Reports Progress in Direction of Sereth Line With Taking of Nanesti. The unidentified German raider in tlu South Atlantic and details nowcoming to light suggesting that she may have been accompanied by three small submarines acting as scouts, continue to be an outstanding naval feature of the war. Arrival of the Royal Mail liner Dritia at Rio do Janeiro eliminated one of the largest steamers from the list of the sup posed victims of the commerce destroyer. A strange steamer, wit four funnels, sighted off Ccara. zil, steaming at high speed suggested possibility that the raider \va: near the northern coast of Brazil. The capture of the town of Nanesti on the Sereth river by German troops on Friday is the latest important development on the war fronts. The Russian forces are continuing their counterattacks in the eastern Carpathians and north of the Suchitza valley on the Moldavian frontier. bllt tin* Horlin win- 1 r* r\ I nounces that tlie Russians assaults generally wore cheeked in hand tr hand encounters and that in one of them the Russians lost several hundred in killed and 400 made prisoner. Two attacks delivered by the Teutonic forces in the course of heavy fighting at other points on the Moldavian frontier were repulsed by Russians. There were no important developments on the Russo-German battle line and patrol attacks and repulse* constituted tho chief actions in the Franco-Belgian war theatre. Quiet was reported on the Macedonian front. An official announcement by the British government concerning the explosion which destroyed a munitions factory located the scene of the blast more definitely as in East Eondon, and stated that 30 or 40 bodies already had been recovered from the ruins and that 100 persons were repolled to be seriously injured. The total number of killed had not' been ascertained when thn communication was made public, but the minister of munitions stated that the disaster would make no practical difference in the output of war mil nitions. In connections wi'.h the failure of the British authorities t?> identify the factory destroyed, it -v/as recalled that the great Wool wich arsenal lies seven miles east of London on the Thames river. Abou' (>7,000 persons are said to be em ployed therein. Ten persons were killed and 20 in jurcd by an explosion in a munitions laboratory at Spandau, Prussia. f < ?

But I, my darling have hopes of thee, And may they ne'er be blighted; That I, years hence, may live to see Thy name as dear to all as me, Thy virtue well requited. I'll watch the dawn of joys and mold Thy little mind to duty; I'll teach the words, as I behold Thy faculties, like flowers, unfold In intellectual beauty.

EEiiri |r r i ! , AV* n THE HOR&Y HE r TICK ERADICATION WORK To Be Established March I, 1917, in Horry County. There appears to be a doubt in the minds of quite a few cattle owners in Horry County us to whether tin regular disinfection of cattle, to eradicate the cattle tick, will be put into effect this spring. In this connection wc beg to advise such parties, through your valuable paper, that effective March 1, 1917, the woik of tick eradication will be es tublished systematically in Horry County. By this we mean that oi. that date duly appointed cattle intions of all cattle in the county ano when cattle are found infested with, or exposed to the cattle fever tick, the owner or keeper of such cnttk will be served with a State Quarantine Notice, by the cattle inspector. Upon receipt of this notice the cattk owner will be required to disinfect j all of his cattle (cows, bulls, heifers, and calves), regularly and thoroughly every fourteen days in accordant** with the provisions of the Acts oi the General Assembly of this State. By thorough disinfection of the cattle is meant, that every portion ot their body must be wet with the disinfectant, and as the cattle of Horry county are more or less of a wild nature, the only cffoctive means for a thorough disinfection is by the use of a cattle dipping- vat. At present there are IS vats completed in the county (there should bo at least 75 or 100), which means that in many instances cattle will have to be driven quite a distance in order to have them disinfected. Fo? this reason we wish to urge those who have not already built vats that they get in touch with our local representative, Dr. Clarke Hcdley, Conway, S. C., at once, and arrange to, build their vats. If they are no" j financially able to build an individual vat, they can interest their neigh-1 bcrs and build a community vat; by doing the latter the cost .will be re latively small. Those that delay building their vats will find that they will be put to a great inconvenience by having to drive their cattle several miles to have them dipped, and they must not blame us for tlus, for we have been informing them for the past two years that we would take ,-up * V 't > I JJ 1 1 tick eradication work systematically this spring, and they have had ample time to make the necessary preparations. . We have done our part ^nn'i now we expect them to do theirs. The adjoining counties of Dillon and Marion have been freed of ticks. Horry County is next in line and. we can not delay the work. The work is being conducted cooperatively between Clem son Agricultural College and the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry at a great nvnniicA T ? !>/. ?.. -1-- ' iv i.-> IJCUIg CU1.UUCUU lt/i the benefit of every citizen in Ilorr; county, as well as the State of Soutl i Carolina. Tick infested cattle means scrul cattle no matter hew well they ma\ be bred. The cattle owners, of Hor- } ry county are sustaining an annua, i less of $50,000.00 on account of ' ticks. The 1910 Census shows that |' the average value of cattle in Horry < county that year was only $13.12 pai head against an average value o'. $18.37 per head in Anderson County ' S. C. Why? Because \Andersor 1 County at that time had been freer! of ticks, the quality of tlie cattle were improved and they were worth 1 more money than the ticky cattle in Horry county. Wfhen ticks have been eradicated from Horry County, the catt'e will increase in value an average of $7.50 per head. This means the cattle! owners will be benefitted to the ex I HAVE IN THIS WEEK Tl MULES. ALL GOOD QUA BOUGHT. A LOT OF NICE HARNESS. G. B. I JtAU), CONWAY, S. 0 tent of $S5,000.00. The only thing that stands between the cattle owners and that $85,000.00 is the tick; eradicate the tick and the $85,000.00 .s theirs. The cattle owners in the 20 counties, in this State that have been freed of ticks during the last thiee ..cars, have been benefitted over tn> | and a half million dollars. Why, i even the hide from a good cow in the tick free counties is worth as much tcday as a whole ticky cow (hide, hoof, horns and meat) in Horry county.

Whereas, A training school for teachers has been established in conjunction with Burrough High School of Conway, in Horry County, by the State Board of Education, and, Whereas, The maintenance of said teacher training school by the State depends largely upon the patronage given it by the teachers of the county and the results obtained therefrom, and, Whereas.

We, therefore, recommend that the trustees of the county form an association at the earliest possible moment and that an institute be held in the Burroughs High School building in connection with the Teacher-Training school Friday and Saturday, February 9 and 10, 1917. We further recommend that the ( trustees of the county urge their teachers to attend, that said teachers ( be excused from regular school duties on Friday, February 9, with full pay, 1 provided they attend all the sessions 1 of the institute.
