C*..as mail matter of the second nlaiut. THURSDAY. JULY. 11. 191.x. Stop, Look, Listen. Stop! Recall how (lie Russian ^ armies were defeated for lack of guns, munitions and supplies. The Germans laughed at the Russian government's failure to stand by its fighting men. Let them have no such mirth at our our expense! Give our government the support of our people, our resources, and our money, so ihat it can arm, equip, supply, and maintain our fighting men at the very highest point of efficiency! Look at the war map and see what absolute devotion of a nation's resources to militan purposes has accomplished for the enemy! Increase production and lend money to the United States, so that our support,of out fighting forces will equal if 1101 surpass that of Germany! It is belter to spend our money that way than in paying Germany's war bills. Liisten to the call of duty and patriotism, and economize! 1)< your utmost in every way to win the war by increased production, by decreased consumption, and by lending to the government Let non-essentials go; make sacrifices! How little and inconsequent they are compared with the great purpose they help attain! How well worth making they will appear when our troops come home victorious victorious by their own courugc.and ability, backed by the unselfish wholehearted support of their Nation. The Soldier's Chances. Great as the danger and large as the losses in the aggregate, the individual soldier has plent> of chances of coming out of tin wai qnscathed, or at least not bad y injured. Based on the mortality statistics of the allied armies, a soldier's chances are as-follows: 1 wenty-nine chances of coming home to one chance of being killed. Forty-nine chances of recovering from wounds to one chance of dying from them. One chance in 500 of losing a limb. Will live five years longer became of physical training, it freer from disease in the arm> than in civil life, and has bettei medical care at the front than at home. In other wars from 10 to 15 men died from disease to 1 iron, bullets; in I his war one mat. dies from disease to every 10 from bullets. And now the editor of the Clover Messenger is threatening to "slap the devil" out of some. Cloverite who he su>s has been lyin^c about, him.' Well, of course, we nave a sympathetic feeling for the Clover man who is walking around with the devil in Inm and wotrld be pleastd to know that he had rid himself of "old scratch," but want to ask tlaeditor of The Messenger to please slap in the direction of ' King's Mountain. The Times man has his hands full and can't take on additional 'business, but offers free of charge the tip thai there is some ready profits awaiting th*?man w ho will open a first-class cafe in Fort Mill. We d* n't know of a town of equal size in the country which has no eating place, nor one which is more in need of such an establishment Tne editor of the Clover Messenger says that he ckn stand -v ** : k * so ne things, but he will "be ?li Tin" if he expects to take everything. 'In which circumstance we advise him to take to the woods. i York County News Natters. (Korkville Enquirer.) !
