Next to the imperative duty of American citizens to support the Liberty loan is their duty to hold their Liberty bonds. It is not full service to the country to purchase Liberty bonds and then throw them upon the market, thus putting upon others the real burden of financing the war. Unless the necessity for disposing of them is very great, every owner of a Liberty bond should hold fast to it. Holding onto one's bonds means that one has not only lent so much money to his Government but also that he is not spending that money for goods, labor, and transportation needed by the Nation in the prosecution of the war, and is thus leaving the resources of the country more freely at the disposal of the Government as well as giving it financial backing. This is a double service. Laying the Penalties. The Allied conditions imposed on Austria-Hungary stopped short of commanding the armies of that country to join forces with General Foch in pursuit ol the Germans. The Allies evidently had no use for .these armies, but required that al Aurtrian-Hungarian territory be opened to the Allied fleets anci armies, that the railroad^ anc rivers be placed at the service of the Allied commanders and I that every facility of Government and country be given the invading army. In short, the Supreme War Council made Austria-Hungary an aetive party to the further suppression of the German military government in all but the use of AustrianHungarian soldiers. The de mobilization of the army was . demanded; Austria is to stack one-half of her arms at points indicated by General Foch; she is to turn over all her battleships, including submarines and war vessels of every character; she is to dismantle her forts or submit them to Allied occupation; she must give up all German boats in her possession; she must throw open her doors, her factories, her roads and tender all her resources to the Allies; she must give freedom to all prisoners?naval and military ? she holds, and get back not an Austrian or Hungarian prisoner in exchange; she must assign her airplane fleets to a designated point and keep them penned up; she must open the seas and harbors and rivers to Allied navigation, admitting war ships into interior Germany by way of the Danube, while her merchant ships afloat must make ihr.it* mniT lv?k/~?Lr IUL1I VY Pjf uat rv iiumc at tIJCIi ^ own risk; she must indicate the location of all mines so that they may be swept away; all Italian ports are to be abandoned and such ships and equipment as may be found there are to be confiscated to the Italian Government; land and sea fortifications, dock yards and the like are to be turned over to the Allies; all merchant vessels belonging to Allied Powers and held by Austria-Hungary are to be restored to the proper owners intact, and there is to be no destruction of ships, property or material of any kind. All this having been done, the final disposition of the Austrian part of the peace contract may bide its time.?Charlotte Observer. Our Creed.

Writes Home From France. Mr. C. F. Rogers, of this city, , has received the following letter from his brother, Wm. Rogers: 1 October 9, 1918. A-nerican Base Hospital, Somewhere in France. Dear Brother: Am writing you today to let you hear from me. I have just lately returned from "oyer the top," and am laid up in the hospital with a shrapnel wound in my right leg just above* the knee, was wounded October 6th. It is only a slight wound and 1 will be restored to duty in a couple of weeks. I was hit with one of those one pounder shells. They sure are bad. It's hard to get out of their way. They can get you anywhere. I can't describe the glorious nil rfr nf fitrJitinnr Vau |/?** V vr* aif^uui ?#S* A VU WUUUCI if you will come through it and if not you have given your life for a great cause and a great country. Those are some of the things that make the battle glorious. Then there is the other side of it. 1 went four days without food but you don't get hungry over here. There are certain things that keep you from that. Once I was in the center of two barrages. Well, I never expected to get out of there, so I lighted a "Bull Durham" cigarette and took things easy. As for the fight, we licked them off the map, and captured lots of | prisoners. My squad took 17 out j of one trench. They hold up i their hands and cry "kamerad." 1 At present writing I am feeling fine and we don't go over the top every day and the war may be over before we go again | because there are others who share in this and all want to try their luck. Don't worry about me for I am happy and will come home alright and eat a good chicken dinner with you. Don't let mother worry about me. Love to all. ] William D. Rogers. > v> ' 1 ' ! ' " 1 ?

York County News Platters. ( iorkville Enquirer.) A Bethel man said a few days ago that there are more partridges this year than for several years past. The past summer, with its long dry spell, was an ideal period for the young birds. He also said that it has been years since there were as many squirrels as there are this year. Lots of cotton and corn has been destroyed in the Broad river bottoms during the past week. The river was higher Saturday and Sunday than it has been since the great flood of 1916, but not so high by ten or twelve feet as then. The water fellback to almost normal on Monday and Tuesday, but on Wednesday morning it was almost a3 high as on Sunday. The Rock Hill Herald of yesterday announced that A. A. McKeown, who for several years past has been farm demonstration agent on the eastern side of the county, has been promoted to district agent to succeed Mr. II7 T) Wlli^i.4. -i? ?iT: ? ?y. n,. canon, 01 winnsooro, wno has had the position for several years. Mr. McKeown is to continue his residence in Rock Hill from which place he c^n reach any part of his district without difficulty. While no exact information has been obtainable, parties from the vicinity of the county bridge over Broad river said Wednesday that the flood of Saturday and Sunday reached up to within seven feet of the floor of tne bridge. The new bridge is four feet higher above low water than was the old one destroyed by the flood of July, 1916. News was received in Yorkville last Saturday of the death in battle in France of Sergeant Clark Graham, Co. G, 118th Infantry. The young man was a 1 volunteer, having enlisted with the Fort Mill boys in Company G, First South Carolina National ( Guard, two years ago. He was trained ,in Greenville with the 30th Division, and went across with that division last spring. He was about 22 vears of ace. and was a Rood soldier, standinR ' high with both officers and men. He has relatives at the Neely mill in Yorkville. j Mrs. J. J. Hunter, of York- 1 ville, has within the past few < days received a letter from her i son, Lieutenant Philip Hunter, i who is a prisoner in the hands I of the Germans. In the letter, 1 Lieutenant Hunter acknowledges < the receipt of letters from home i giving the first information i that he was aware that the home 1 folks knew where he was. He says that he is now being fed by the.Red Cross; but before \ that he had been having no \ picnic. He has had no change \ of clothing for quite a long ] period.

An amendment to the State constitution is to be suggested at the next session of the General Assembly changing the qualifications for suffrage to a military basis, says the Chester News. This amendment which J. K. Henry, of Chester, solicitor of the Sixth judicial circuit, proposes to advance would require the voter to present an honorable discharge from the army or navy, or, in lieu thereof. Liberty bonds, thrift stamps, or a receipt for contributions to other organizations engaged in war work. The proposition set forth by Solicitor Heniy follows: "I propose to suggest to the next meeting of our legislature, that an amendment to our State constitution be pro; osed to our people to recast the constitution as to the electorate of the State, something like this, as follows: Require the voters at tvevy election hereafter, general, special, party or otherwise, to present as a qualification to vote, an honorable discharge from the military or naval forces of the United States, or from the Red Cross or Young Men's Christian Association service during this war, or at least one Liberty bond, thrift stamp, receipt for contribution to the Red Cross or Y. M. C. A., or other war fund of date during the extince of war with the Imperial German government. "This or some like amendment ought to be adopted, because no slacker should be allowed a voice in the government in this land who in the present crisis does not come up to the help of the government against might makes right because it is might." Another Liberty Loan Coming. Secretary of the Treasuary McAdoo has announced that, no matter what the results of the pending overtures for peace may ho, there will be another Liberty Loan. To use his expression, "We are going to have to finance peace for a while just as we have had to finance war." There are over 2,000,000 United States soldiers abroad. If we transport these men back to the United States at the rate of 300,000 a month, it will take over half a year before they are all returned. Our army, therefore, must be maintained, victualed, and clothed for many months after peace is an actuality. The American people, therefore, having supported the-Libty Loan with a patriotism that future historians will love to extol, will have an opportunity 4. ~ At ... io snow me same patriotism in financing the just and conclusive victorious peace whenever it comes. Increase Sugar Allowance.. Beginning last Saturday morning, the rationing of sugar was increased fifty per cent. The allowance for households by the food administration is now three pounds per person per month instead of two pounds as previously allowed. The same ratio [>f increase will be allowed to restaurants. The regulations ; are also revised to the extent ( that any person may purchase liis whole family allowance at \ >ne time, if he so desires; that i is, any family may purchase a 1 month's supply for the entire ' Family in one purchase.
