Tralna arriving here early in the morning from Hamlet ^re taken south by crews that bring trains in the afternoon. The Seaboard keeps a day and night hostler on duty and the engines are coaled, watered and oiled during the lay-over hours. This accounts for the many freight trains leaving early every morning and late in the evenings. The Seaboard contemplates the erection or ci coal ahute at thla point. Notice to Subscriber* It haa been necessary to almost completely revise The Herald's subscription list and subscribers are asked to look at the date on the label of their paper and see that it corresponds with the date on their receipt. Now is the time to correct any errors that might have been made ia revis-t ing the list. Subscribers desiring their paper changed should give their , old postoffice address. A request, "Please change my paper to Lake View" or some other place when not accompanied by the ] old postoffice address cannot be complied with. The proper form to use is: "Change my paper from Dillon Route 1 to Lake View." If a subscriber is re- j celving a paper as "John R. Smith" and another paper as "J. R. Smith" ?that is receiving-two papers?the office should be hotifled. This is liable to happen where a subscriber has given two different solicitors each a year's subscription. By complying with this request subscribers will!, save confusion in giving proper cred- j ,ts Merchants Organise 1 ?- i The grocery dealers of Dillon met I Tuesday with County Food Commis- j sioner Davis and formed an assoc' tion of grckcery merchants includi both the wholesale and retail nui^l chants, as requested by the State Food Administrator. The object of ' the association is not to fix prices but to interpet the market for the benefit of the retailer and consumer. There 1 Is a low price for the cash and carry home purchaser and a ma> aum price 'or delivery and charged goods | ?in short, a cash and charge price. The price of certain articles agreed upon will be placed in the window of each merchant, giving both prices. The prices will be changed once or twice a week as the market war- * rants. The association agreed that town deliveries will be from ' 9 o'clock in the morning to 12 noon. ! and from 3:30 to 6:30 P. M., and on ' Saturdays until 8 o'clock P. M. The following officers were elected: M. ' A. Stahbs, chair?>an. W. H. Mumby. '' Secretary. The following committee was elect- ' ed to interpret the market at stated ; periods:?J. Frank Thompson, from the wholesale grocers; J. C. Lupo, C. : Saleeby, G. L. Seals and J. D. Web- 1 iter from the retail grocers.

Next Call About Feb. 15 The war department has not an- | lounced definitely when the next call < 'or men will be made, but the plans j mtlined by the department indicate s hat the next call will be made about t February 15th. Physical examina- j ions begin today and will be complet- j >d in about 25 days. The training amps are being cleared of soldiers i is rapidly as possible in order to nake room for the new recruits and c he war department is urging local t aminations as soon as possible. An evidence that preparations are being made at the training camps tor the next contingent of soldiers is found in the large number of troop trains bearing soldiers northward. Fourteen train loads of soldiers passed through Dillon one day last week evidently bound for "somewhere in France." The Local Board completed its classifications last Friday night. Eighteen hundred and fifty two men were classified and out of this number about 400 are in Class A-l. Dillon's quota under the February draft has not been anounced, but it is likely that about 225 men will be called. If the percentage of physical rejections runs very high the first quota will exhaust all men in Class A-l, and men will be culled from the next highest Cl.'~8. Largest Ingot.

T. Bgairsi Writes His Brother, John. Interesting Letter. Kelly Field, Ben Antonio, Texas. Dear Johnny: j I am writing you again to let you know how I am getting along. I am liking it all right. We all work erery day. We soldiers do all the work' here, which consists of cooking, building houses, putting up tents or anything that comes to hand. I unloaded a car of clothing yesterday. The work is not hard'as they appoint so many men to do the Job that it is more like play than work. We do not work but a few hours a day and the rest of the time we are answering roll calls. The officers are trying to divide up and set us assigned to our regular Jobs that each man enlisted for but It is quiet a Job for them as( there are many of us. New men con-! Unue to pour in here every day from all over the United States. This is the largest camp that I have struck yet. They tell me that there are seventy thousand men here and it looks like there is, although I' have not been over much of the camp. It is a regular cloth city with row upon row of tents. The flying i machines keep up a continued buxz Trom day light to dark. I have count-' Bd as many as twenty-three in the air i at one time. We have gotten so j that we do not notice them much ! now% This is the dustiest place I ever saw. It has not rained here in Ave months and every day is fair. It is extra warm in the day but a little cool at night. Whit said tell you that he was en-! Joying army life fine. He says he feels better than he ever did in his; life. He is corporal The other three | men in our tent are from Florida. ' Each man has his own bed which he* has to* make up and put out in the sun every day.

But the Leicestershires did "come on," j with disastrous results to the Huns, i We must not forget, however, that famous cry of "Kamerad!" uttered by whole German regiments, which has perhaps, Encouraged our men more than any othea. There is an amusing tale told of one of our Tommies who, during a charge, was about to give a certain nun a glimpse of the "great beyond," when up went Fritz's hands. "Kamerad!" he yelled. Tommy lowered his bayonet. "Hang ltl" he muttered. "That's the blooming word I was trying to think of when arguing with Nobby I Smith r The Swedish Almanac.

The law went into effect Monday and the nenalty for its violation is four yea. "s imprisonment or a fine of $10,000. No exceptions, so the food admin,strator advises, must be allowed on contracts for flour made previous to Monday the law went into effect. The merchants filling these contracts must sell substitutes pound for pound with the flour. Administrator Davis \vir?d state food administrator and ask< d if farmers who raise their own cereals are required to follow this rule. The reply was:: "No exceptions, all must follow rule to buy pound for pound." This means that the farmer must buy a pound of meal or grits with every pound of flour. Commissaries come under the same rule and farmers furnishing their hands must sell a pound of cereal in the form of grits or meal with every pound of flour. o A Call To Colored Teachc rs The colored teachers of Dillon County are hereby called to meet at the Colored Graded school building in Dillon, Saturday Feb. 9th. at 12 o'clock M.
