The ■ ole battle front has been in motion with striking gain.«i in the northern---part of France and' Belgium. The~barbarities and inhumanities inflicted upon the inhabitants of the occupied territories have been so hor rible until the world rejoices whenever the German - grasp has been broken on the towns and villages. An instance will suffice to show their nature. In one of the French villages r.cld by the Germans was a ca pable blacksmith wbg had worked for the Germans dur ing their four years of occupa tion. He was too good to be left with his skill for the f iench. Just before the Ger mans left the village they came i t his shop and held his hands THE INFLUENZA SITUA- TION. Any emergency is always made up of two elements, the one without and the bne within ourselves. This is illustrated • * by the following incident in the early days of the automo bile : An old negro, and his wife met a car which occasion ed the occupants of the wagon some alarm. .The chauffer stopped the car and asked the negro if he could be of any as sistance. He was told “Boss, if you can hold the ole \yoman I think I can manage the mule.” Inthe same way there will not be v6ry much trouble, to han dle the influenza epidemic in Barnwell County if the panic can be controlled.

A long time 5 ago, yes, it must bav'e been a long time ago, for I do not remember who told it, some one said in mv presence that when babies smile in their sleep they are seeing angels. If this be but a fairy story it seems to me that it-is too beau tiful a thought to scoff at. One can but know that all the sweet angels in God’s heaven must vie* with one another to watch over the sleep of a little bit of a sweet baby. And surely the singing angels will listen all | day to the tinkling of the water I in the great river of life in hopes that from the rythmic swing of the waters they can gather some new melody which they will take in their hearts down to earth and there hum a fresh lullaby to make baby smile.
