Wt TM mnill) 6TATB6 Buy Them And Help Win The War TOB SALE EVERYWHERE OFFICER SHOULD VACATE. The ollie? of Coroner ol' Oeonee should be vacated al once by tho In cumbent. Wt; say this with no feel- j lng of Ill-will to Mr. (?raul, whom j wo have long regarded as friend and | iollow-citlsen of merit. To our mind there Is nothing more deserving of public censure than official miscon duct. The most effective way to ad- | minister the merited rebuke is to ; strip official responsibility from the I offender, and to do it quickly. Every j day that the office of Coroner is held by Mr. (?rant but adds to the disgrace to our county. We hope that Mr. tirant will have tho grace at once to resign his office. Failing to do so. Hie people of Oeo nee should demand that the office be i declared vacant and an appointment made to lill the vacancy, A stern rebuke to conduct such as has been carried on hy tile Coroner | of Oeonee is Imperative, not so much as punishment to tho Incumbent as i for a warning to others who may come lido office in the future We can have just as clean officials ? ts public sentiment demands. The Lime lo strike a decisive blow at cor- i ruptlon in official position is nt the very moment when corruption is defi nitely ascertained. Let Mr. Oran! resign promptly from his office, or Iel us demand that the office be vacated. Now is the lime for one or the other of these steps to bo taken. MISS MARV MCMAHAN DEAD. Copular Voting Lady Culled to Re ward at Ag? of Seneca, Aug. 24.-Special: On Tuesday of last week, August 2 0th, the spirit of Miss Mary Sallie Mc Ma Ivan winged Its way from earth 'back to tho Cod who gavo it. Quite peacefully, as ?be had lived, she passed away. She had been ill for some months. Although a great suf ferer at times, she bore lt patiently, quietly submitting to the will of her Cod. She was born October 31, IS?l?. At that timo her parents resided in the Fairview community, and in that community tho deceased bad lived all her life until two years ago, when she, with her aunt and brother, moved to Seneca. Sho was quiet and unassuming in ber manner, yet ever ready to render assistance to those with whom she came In contact. It brought sadness to many hearts on that beautiful afternoon when lt became known that "Mary McMahan is dead," for she counted hor friends by her acquaintances. She will be missed by hor relatives and friends; she will bo missed by her Sunday school classmates; but greatest of all she will be missed In tho home by ber devoted aunt, Miss Rosa Bar ron, who took her when an infant of th reo months and raised hor. She will also be greatly missed by her brother, Earle, who, wit', bis munt, tonderly nursed and cared for Mary during her long and tedious illness. To these we extend sympathy; but wo are comforted by the thought that "wo sorrow not as those who have no hope," and some swet:?. day wo all hope to meet again, not only Mary, but other loved ones who have goiie before. "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the nanio of tho Lord." Miss McMahan was a consistent and devoted member of tho Metho dist church. Funeral services were conducted at Fairview church Au gust 21st by her pastor, Kev. O. A. Jeffcoat, after which her remains were laid away. The pallbearers wero six of her cousins. The large crowd attending the fun eral service, and the beautiful floral offerings, attested tho popularity and hlgli esteem In which the deceased was held. A beautiful wreath of blue daisies was given by tho Ladles' Aid Society of the Seneca Methodist church. American Steamer Sunk. Washington, Aug. 20.-Six mem bers of tho crow aro bolioved to have boen drowned or killed by a torpedo explosion, and nine members of tho crow and ono member of the naval armed guard aro still missing ns tho result of the sinking of tho American steamer Lake Edon In foreign wators August 21.

Tho foregoing const tute the Com munity Labor Board for Oconeo County, which has l>cen organized by Hie U. S. Employment Service of thc Federal Department of Labor. The purpose is to organizo the army of workers in a compact and systematic manner so that the man power ot America con accomplish its host results, lt is "work or fight." Just now the government is in ur gent need of about one million com mon lahorors, and theso laborers are to be rocrultod throughout tho (Mil ted States in tho near futuro In such a manner as to intorfore as little as possiblo with the agricultural and Industrial enterprises. Every man must work In somo employment es sential to winning the war, and an vacancies In non-essential employ ment occur In positions now held by men lt is expected that women shall take their places. The solicitation of laborers with out permission of the Community Labor Hoard is prohibited, and any person, linn or corporation doing so incurs heavy penalties. Where there is urgent need for laborers request is to be submitted to the Community Labor Hoard, and where the requost ls reasonable and proper such per mission shall be granted. Tho pur pose ls to stabilize labor and enable every man to remain at his post and do his best. The rules and regulations of thr> United States Employment Servlct became operative on the 1st day of August and they are now of force. The board Invites the co-operation and assistance of every citizen in the discharge of its important and deli cate duties lt is our intontion lo bo fair and impartial, but wo are ex pected at the same time to bo firm and insistent on every man in Oco nee county who remains at home ex erting himself to the utmost In the production of those things found to be necessary and essential to the win ning of the war. It will be noted that one man in each school district has been ap pointed as a representative of the County Labor Hoard, lt is the duty of these representatives to keep constant supervision and oversight of their respective districts and re port any idlers or slackers to the members of the board. Just now quite a number of young mon from Ihe farms are being drafted into tho the National Army. In event of tho departure of any of these drafted men from tho farms rendering acute the labor situation in thoir commu nity, or the harvesting of their own crops suffering by reason of their absence, the same is to be reported to our board, and we shall render such assistance as may bc found pro per and necessary to save the crops.

Hun Ammunition Blown Up. With the American Army on the Vesle Front, Aug. 2(1.-Several Ger man ammunition dumps north of the Vesle river were blown up to-day by high explosives from the American guns. This was tho only notable in cident in the operations between So 1880118 'and Rheims, although the usual exchange between the arrtiller ies continued. The destruction of the dumps was made possible by 'aerial observation by American aviators. They were located near Rovillon and early in the day a battery of long range git;.s be gan dropping shells at points indi cated. The observation posts soon after reported groat clouds of smoke from the targets. An indication of the lengths to which Germany is going for war ma terials is contained in a letter taken from a dead soldier, It was -written by his wife and informed him that the great bronze statue of Emperor William at L?neburg, Pomerania, had been torn down and sent to the foundry to 'be converted Into ord nance, as had also tho roofs of the churches. Senate Passes Rill. Washington, Aug. 27.-The man power bill, bringing 'within the army draft all men from 18 to 45 years old, was passed late to-day by tho Senate, with a modified "work or fight" clause. All efforts to change the age limits or to direct separate classifi cation of youths under 21 failed, and the measure now goos to conference between the House and Senate with no difference for serious controversy except the "work or fight" provision. The Senate was recorded unani mously for the bill. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, who cast the only negative vote on the roll call, 'withdrew lt, and was excused from voting.
