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

everything. 'In which circumstance
we advise him to take

There was tr? have been a big

Marketing organization. The1
purpose of this organization was
to provide for the establishment
of a State-wide system of marketing
cotton and cotton seed.
The several counties of the State
are now being: canvassed to explain
to farmers and business
men how that they, by organization
and combined effort can
protect this year's cotton crop
against a still further decline in
the market at the opening of
the coming season. A representative
of the organization will
attend each of these meetings,
and will describe fully what the
farmers and financial institutions
of the State can do to prevent j
the sacrifice of this year's cotton.
Nine meetings are to be held
in York county this week under
auspices of the State association,
the meeting at Fort Mill to be
he'd Friday afternoon at 3:00 p.
m. T. R Thackston, of the
State marketing association is to

Says the Rock Hill Record of
Monday:
"In today's issue we carry the
announcement of W. R. "Bradford
asking for re-election to the
House of Representatives. Mr.
Bradford has been the leading
member of the delegation from
this county for several years
and has rendered the county
good service. One of two things
that he has been especially interested
in was that he has always
tried to see that Winthrot
college gets a square deal and
did good work in helping to lan i
tlm new dormitory for it. The
it* 111 U'. t IIVO 111 ic
hi? good work in helping togft
the hill through for the new
bridge at the end of the Cherrr
road, on which bridge we suy- ;
gested some time ago we thought
the honor should be done thei
delegation to nut a plate on the
bridge bearing their names along;
with the engineer, supervisor
I and commissioner.
"According to former rules
Mr. Bradford if elected this time
will become chairman of the
Ways and Means committee of
the House, the most important
of the committees."
