'laking ('are of tho Slackers.
i Greenwood Journal. )
It is woll enough for mon who have
no profitable employment to under
stand that they are not only under
stood to he on the slacker list, but
that the government is Intensely in
terested in them personally. lt is
interested to a degree that lt has
never manifested before, and it is
going to keep up this interest until
something happens thal will be for
tho welfare of tho slacker and the
whole country. Wo arti informed
that where men are drawing wages
for two or three days a week all that
is necessary ls to have this fact made
known and they will receive prompt
attention.
This is Just as it should bo. While
the whole country is doini; svhat it
eau to help win the war, people who
aro disposed to shirk should bo called
to time, and made to do their part.
Every fellow who ls too lazy and in
different to work should be sent
forthwith Into the service. There
should bo a law passed extending the
age limit so as to apply to such peo
ple. One of the heaviest loads that
overy community has to carry ls the
load that is placed upon them by the
loafers and idlers. To say nothing
of their failure to produce anything
and the fact that they must be sup
ported by the labor of others, they
are a hindrance and a menace. We
heard thc remark made recently to
the effect that a certain man who
would not work himself ns he should
was in the way and preventing oth
ers who were employed with him
from doing their duty.
Ivet vho slackers be rounded up
everywhere, and we shall find a won
derful improvement in conditions all
over the country. While the good
women are doing their best to con
servo and to help in evory way possi
ble these idlers should be made to
got down to business. Whilo ono
may not care to be put down as a
meddler, duty demands that overy
slacker should be reported to the
proper authorities so that his case
may receive immediate attention.

Wo miss thee from our home, clear
father,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow o'er our lifo is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee.
We miss thee everywhere.
'Tis hard to break tho tender cord
When love has bound the heart;
'Tis hard, go hard, to 3peak the
words,
"We must forever part."
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee
In the peaceful grave's embrace,
Hut thy mem'ry will be cherished
Till we see they heavenly face.
Thy gentle voice now is hushed,
Thy warm, true heart is still,
And on thy aged and furrowed brow
Is resting death's cold chill.
Thy hands aro clasped upon they
breast;
We have kissed thy lovely form,
And In our aching hearts we know
We have no dear father now.

B. B. Gossett, State Fuel Adminis
trator, has sent out the following in
structions to tho chairmen of all
fuel committees throughout the
State.
"You are directed to instruct all
dealers not to deliver any more block
coal to consumers except for use in
open grates and stoves.
"The supply of block coal is so
limited that we are going to fin.i it
very difficult to provide enough for
the open grates in tho homes ot this
State and all households, hospitals,
apartment houses, ofl?co buildings
and others who have heretofore used
block coal in their furnaces must use
only run of mine coal until further
advised."
The State Administrator also villa
attention to the fact that the rules
of the administration prohibit per
sons from banding together fo* the
purpose of ordevlng coal in carload
lots, also individuals are prohibited
from ordering coal in carload lots.
With the consent of the local fuel
chairmen, who will issue permits ill
extraordinary cases, groups and In
dividuals will be allowed to order
coal in carload lots, but the consent
of the chairmen must fl"St be se
cured.

Saving Gasoline.
(Anderson Mall.)
The suggestion has been mado hy
tho government authorities that one
day each week be set aside when au
tomobile owners shall leave their
cars lu the garage and thus save gas
oline because it has been found that
gasoline must be saved voluntarily
or by compulsion. The demand ls
Increasing constantly, and although
the supply has been holding up well
lt has been determined that some re
strictions will have to bo put in force
if all requirements are to be met. A.
great deal of gasoline ls being used
by the armies abroad and more will
bc used as the size of the armies In
creases.
The man who uses a pleasure car
to go to and from his business may
lind it a little Inconvenient to loave
the car at home and walk or uso tho
street car instead, but he should
bear in mind that he ls doing tho
country a service in this way, and,
besides, no hardship is being impos
ed on him. Tho joy rider who takes
his car and burns up the road every
night needs curbing anyway. In a
Way the government ls doing the
joy rider a service hy trying to keep
ilim within bounds. Most of tho mo
tor accidents happen to people who
think they can beat the trains to
crossings and who speed with each
of her and with trains that happen
to parallel the public highways. Mo
tor accidents show an increase and
doubtless this Increase will continuo
to be shown until more caution is
used.

Washington, June 27.-Upon com
plaint of farmers of South Carolina
that the recent modification of the
regulations governing tho grinding
oT wheat by farmers, permitting thom
to grind a three months' supply did
not remedy the situation, Represen
tative Byrnes to-day had a confer
ence with Mr. Hoover and succeeded
in inducing him to issue an order
permitting tho farmers of the South
to grind a 12 months' supply of flour.
This supply will bo determined by
allowing 12 pounds of flour per
month por person, dependent upon
the farmer, including tenants.
