Hold Your*Bonds.
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

^ 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.

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.

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. Generally his health is \

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. '
Returns yesterday from Tues- \
