IMllon, S. C., May SO, 1018. ; ?;01N<; "OVKIt THKIIK" IUCHTi ALONG. Ever so often The Herald announces ine names 01 nusay sons or tne county and town who start on their way "over there" to fight for the ideals of democracy in the world. And the publication of such names j has become a more frequent oc'ir-i rence than was even suspected a j year ago. The men from this county wlu? /have gone into training camps num-j ber in the neighborhood of 500. This clearly indicates that we are giving of our best to aid in the cause of JUncJe Sam, as well as doing our whole duty in the upholding of the, cause in other ways. With the remainder of the country. Dillon is ready to go the limit. Wo eustomarilv finish whatever we start?-and we are started toward i Berlin. It was foreseen months ago by em- . ployers ot' labor of .ill kinds that the war and draft act would seriously i cripple the available supply of labor. This knowledge, however, did not at any tun- cause employers to oppose either the war or the draft law. They knew what was bound to come, but patriotically s?t aside personal interest.-* in fivor of the nation. And . now every < mployer is laced with what is described as a scarcity of labor .As nun h or more work than ever is to be done but a small army of men have been changed from producers to consumers. Kvery industry is working under high pressure and as more men arc d ru fted into the army the situation is bound to become more acute. The only solution of the problem is to lengthen the working hours or to call upon the women of the country There are thousands of young git is who can take the men's places. In the north young women ;nv driving automobiles ar;i trucks, running elevatois and trolly cars and taking men's places in other vocations. The young women of the south must not let heir sisters in the north outdo them ui the matter of patriotism.

Of the great Kaiser Bill and his ( wonderful dream. Being tired of the Allies, he laid 1 down in bed, j And among other things dreampt he was dead. * And in a fine coffin was lying in state. With a guard of brave Belgians, who lamented his fate. He wasn't long dead till he found to'1 his cost. That his soul, like his soldiers, had surely been lost. On leaving the earth to heaven he went straight, a And arriving up there gave a knock c at the gate. But St. Peter looked out, and in]1 voice loud and clear. Said: "Begone, Kaiser Bill. we s don't want you here." I "Well," said the Kaiser, "that's very i uncivil J1 I suppose after that I must go to the devil?" So he turned on his heel and off he' did go i At the top of his speed to the regions' below. And when he got there he was filled , with dismay, 11 When watching outside he heard Old Nick say r To his imps: "Now, look here boys, U I give you a warning, I i I'm expecting the Kaiser down here t in the morning: jg But don't let him in, for to me it's i quite clear 11 He's a dangerous man, and we don't L want him here, jt It once he gets in there'll be no end j 1 of quarrels; ! r in fact, I'm afraid he'll corrupt our i good morals.'" s Oli, Satin, my dear friend," the Kaiser then cried. v Kxcuse me lor listening while wait- i ing outside, r u you don't admit me, where can 1 I go?" 11 indeed," said the devil, "1 really o dual know. 1 un, uo let nit? in, l alii weary and d eold," it Said Hit* Kaiser, quite anxious to *j enter Nick's fold. e 'Let me sit in a corner, no uratter 11 liow hot." i No," said the devil, "most certainly I not. (i A'e don't admit people I or riches or I pelf; li Here are sulphur and matches, make 1 a hell lor yourself." Then lie kicked William out and < vanished in smoke, t And just at that moment the Kaiser < awoke, 11-* jumped out of bed in a shivering sweat, t And said. "Well, that dream 1 shall ' never lot-gci; That 1 won't to heaven, I know i \< ry well, llut it's reall> too bad to be kicked out of hell."

The new freight <-in . \ihi' U * over both class und coiamodity rates, will become effecuvc June 25th. and the passenger r;Je a ill go in*o effect June 10th. Is: in 1 undei authority granted by tin- railroad act to President Wilson, acting through the Director (leneral. tin- onlcr wipes out all intra-stute lowei rates effective on either freight hi passenRei traffic. Travelers in standard sleeping and parloi ears .ire required to pay three and one half cents u mile in .ddition to pullman fares, and in tou'ist sleep 111K ears three and a quarter cents I'ullman fares remain the same. <)th? r commute rates t railroads | are increased 10 per celt. Fares on ele trie and interurbati lines are not affected. 8peclal excursions, mileage and tourist rates, with a few exceptions, are discontinued, privileges such as stop-overs and other such rules, are abolished, and excess baggage charges are increased. Both freight and passenger rates on boat lines operating on lakes, rivers and coastwise by railroads are generally increased. Export and import freight rates are ordered cancelled, and the; higher commodity rates will be ap-! plied to and from ports. A number of flat increases, in? I stead of percentage additions, are ordered for cotton, grain, live stock meats, sugar, bullions and other commodities. Existing differen-' tials and rate relationships between localities are to be preserved, so far j as possible, and many rearrange- j inents will have to be made later. All i rates are subject to review by the Interstate Commerce Commission Exceptions to the three cent rate are made, for sailors and soldiers who may travel at one cent a mile when on furlough at their own expense and for persons attending United Confederate Veteran's Reunon to be held at Tusla, Oklahoma, and the National Encampment of :he Grand Army of the Republic to >e held at Portland, Oregon. Both >f these organizations are permitted -ates of one cent a mile, and for va'ious state meetings of the Veterans two cents a mile will be charged. Children under five years will be :arried free as at present, and hose between five and twelve years >f age will be charged one-half of he new higher rate. The twenty-five per cent, increase n freight rates will apply generally o class and commodity rates, but ninor changes will be necessary in nany cases. For instance, where cerain relationships exist between riv[1 rail-centers the twenty-five per ent increase will apply to the lonirer listance, and the rate to the nearer oeality will be the same number of :ents less as under the present ' ichedules. In this way charges for many short lauls will be raised more than 25 >er cent. THK BKST IUVKT DIUVKltS. 1 American Negroes Kvcel England's Champion Crew. ??? 1 The following^ is from the New fork Herald: However much they welcome the esults obtained through the skill of heir British fellow workmen, Amer- , cans do not propose to let the inernational rivet-driving championship remain across the water It nust be admitted that the record j nade in Britain by the gang headed ( >y Robert Farrant set the pace and , >pened the eyes of shipyard worknen here to the possibilities, but low since the Americans have got nto their stride there is a different lory to tell. On Thursday a crew at the shipaid of the Northwest Steel Coin- j ?anj at l'orlland, Ore., drove 4,089 | ivets in nine hours, which would ii lave been the American record hadlj lot a crew at Sparrow's Point plant!

This lot only is the high record for the 'nited States, but it beats the Britsli record by -KIM rivets, a comforta?le margin. Not the least interesting feature j ?f the Sparrow's Point leat is that j he record-breaking crew consisted >f sirudy negro workmen. Good Fighters, Too.
