The calls for men for military duty are being made oftener than formerly by the Provost Marshal General. Small increments, instead of large ones, are being ordered into camp now. The board has received a call for four white men to be en trained between the 1st and 10th of May. The exact date will be an nounced later. This increment will be sent to Fort Scriven, Ga., near Savannah. This is the first time that men, other than those volun tarily inducted, have been ordered beyond the State. Many persons do not understand why the local board does not draft and announce the names of the men as soon as the notice of the call ap pears in the newspapers. The offi cial notice to the men of their hav ing been ordered must contain the exact date aud hour to report for entrainraent, and this information has never been furnished the board for several days after the official call is made. The board ALWAYS HAS A WELL FOUNDED REA SON for every act, or for a failure to act, as the public mayview the situation, and, therefore criticism of the board should not be indulged in by the public.

Matters looking to the erection of a modern hotel fronting on the pub lic square are gradually taking defi nite shape. Mr. VV. A. Strom, than whom no better man could be placed at the bead of such an enterprise, is already makicg pre liminary arrangements. He will soon open a biickyard in Edgefield and make all of the rough brick needed tor the hotel. Of course, the pressed finishing brick will be bought elsewhere. Mr. Strom can also have the heavy rough lumber, of which there is a large quantity in such a building, sawed from bis own woods, thereby effecting another large saving. He hopes to have actual work of construction under way sooL._ Furloughs for Agricultural Labor. The local board has received reg ulations governing the issuing of furloughs for men in the training camps to engage in agriculture , where they-are needed at home on the farm. A supply of application blanks for the granting of these furloughs have also been received by the board, and they will be sent to men in camp or given to the parents or other relatives of the men upon request. The application is made for the furlough and filed with the local board, but the authoi ity of granting the furlough is given solely to the commanding of ficer of the unit to which the sol dier is connected. The regulations state that furloughs will not be granted to men who are soon to be transferred from the camp at which they are at present. In other words, no furloughs will be granted in cases which would result in an in jury to the military service. The local board has no authority to grant the furloughs. This is dis tinctly stated in the regulations. The impression prefails that, as the need for men to assist our Allies in France is very great, but few fur loughs will be granted. To Ministers of Edgefield County. I have received request from Mr. E. W. Robertson, State Chairman Liberty Loan Committee, that I communicate with all clergymen and ministers of Edgefield county that Sunday, April 21, be observed as Liberty Loan Sunday, and that each devote a portion of his sermon at least in making an appeal to his people of the vital necessity of back ing the boys at the front by the purchase of Liberty Bonds. This request comes from the following order from Washington: "Secretary McAdoo has designa ted April 21 as Liberty Loan Sun day. He is sending a letter direct to one hundred and fourteen thous and ministers, asking them to preach Liberty Loan sermons- Will you make plans to get unrestricted co operation of churches in your dis trict?" I take this method through the newspapers of our county to com municate this request to all our ministers, since I have not the ini tials and postoffices of all of them. Respectfully, A. E. Padgett, Chairman Liberty Loan Committee For Edgefield County. We have some barley flour, you can buy without substitutes. Use il and save wheat for our soldiers. L. T. May.

S. RIVES NOT DUE TO SEX ALONE. Edgetield Women Have Learned the Cause of Many Mysterious Pains and Aches. Many women have come to know that sex isn't the reason for all backaches, dizzy headaches and urinary disorders. Men have these troubles, too, and often they come from kidney weakness. To live simply, eat sparingly, take better care of one's self and to use Doan's Kidney Pills, is bound to help bad kidneys get better. There is no other remedy so well recommended by Edgeiield people. Read this case: Mrs. E. P. Jackson, gave the fol lowing statement April 12, 1911: "Several years ago I used Doan's Kidney Pills when I was suffering with a weak and lame back. My sides and-hips were sore and lame and I couldn't sleep well on that account. Doan's Kidney Pills rid me of that attack of kidney trouble and I am glad to endorse t.hem." On February 7, 1918 Mrs. Jack son said: "Doan's Kidney Pills have proved themselves splendid when I have used them in the past. I am glad to again recommend them." Price 60c. at all dealers.
