THE FIELp OF HONOR.
This war ha9 brought many
surprises as to the most danger
ous arm of the service. In the
earlier stages of the war when
the allies had not learned how
to owereomo the resistance the
lnadiiuo gun seryice wa9 so
fatal that it was chi led the sui
cide cTlifr. Afterward when
medical corps bv their splendid
loyalty to the demands made
upon them made the supreme
sacrifice in many dfcses it was
shown at that time their casual
ties were the highest in the
service. When artillery positions
were located by the .enemy
they were usuallv wiped off the
map at wholesale with high
casualties The air service was
i n popular -estimation *tv yiury
dangerous arm of the service
because mauy who. were iu it
were careless or uutraind, and
the most of the accidents oc
curred on the training field-
The following recent despateth
has been based-oil complete re
cords and therefore accurate.
Washington, April Hi.—The
infantry suffered more
twice the ea-unlities in proper

branch of tlie army, according
to a statistical report made pub

ment. Battle deaths among the

MUTINY IN RUSSIA.
The reading public lias been
served in the past few years
with fr&sli evidences of the
savage possibilities of human
nature. We simply refused to
believe that any set or nation
of men could be capable of such
excesses as were charged against
the Germans in Belgium and
France. Bolshevism was a new
name for our comprehension.
When we read of what it was
doing in various Russian cities
we explained it on the ha§is
that it appealed only to the
ignorant and benighted classes
of a nation that had been do\wT*
trodden for so long on czarism.
When it feund in Germany-such
leaders as Liebknecht and Rosa
Luxembourg^ "and in America
Debs, Nearing and the Indus
trial workers of .the world we
set them down as either un
balanced cranks or unscrupul
ous politicians, we were sure
that such heresies could never
find lodgement iu the heartsof
loyal Americans. The news of
last week brings the stunning
report that some American
soldiers on the Archangel front
in Russia -had become so cor
rupted by Rolshevishm that
product, and at the same time
he knows that he is being cheated
by some one out of a part of
his just- profits iu the matter.
There--is too wide a variation
in what the fanner receives for
the raw cotton and what he
has to pay for the cloth when
it is woven by the mills-. The
cotton exchanges blame the
mills, while-the -mills blame
the gambling features of the
cotton, exchanges. At any rate
the 'farmer is defrauded.
Our town judgment is- that
if the producers of cotton could
form as strong an organization
as has been formed by those
who sell and weave the cotton
that they could demand as good
prices a!s are demanded of the
farmer when he buys the cloth-, .
The average farmer however
cannot be persuaded, nor cjui
he be driven. He would rather
follow his individual judgement-
than to get liis just rights.
A reference to the market re
port of Charleston for Saturday
reveals the fact that while
middling cotton is used a9 a
basis yet the higher grades of
strict and good middling bring
only one half a cent more than
middling. When we come to
the lower grades in their order
we find that strict low middling
is worth two cents less, low
middling five cents less, strict
good ordinary eight cents less,
while good drfdiliary Brings teu
and one half cents

Physicians and druggists are delighted

new tablet are delighted with its quick
a«d agreeable effect andjelaim that it is
much more effective and in every way
superior to the old style aspirin. Physi
cians maintain that its safety alone should
give it preference over all other remedies
for headache, neuralgia, rheumatism and

to be weakened and should be stimulated
