To dlipofo of any fear that county

The long deadlock of Senate and
House conferees on • the selective
draft military bill was broken Thurs
day with agreeihent on a compromise
measure under which a great war
army would be raised by selective
conscription of men betweep the ages
of 21 and 30, Inclusive.
Authorization for recruiting Col.
Roosevelt's proposed volunteer divi
sion for service in France, written
into the bill by the Senate and de
fended stubbornly by the Senate con
ferees, finally was thrown out on the
insistence of committeemen repre
senting the House. In return the
House yielded to the Senate's pro
posal for prohibition at military
posts. . * >
The conference report is expected
to be given approval by both Senate
and House within a few Hays and
within two weeks after the president
has affixed his signature registra

detected and would be punished with
heavy penalties.
“Every precaution,“ said the state

tain that the registration will be con

“The law' is specific and allows no
latitude to the boards, either in the
matter of registration or in the later
matter of. exemption from service. In
fact, the law is self-executing. Every
man within the age limits fixed by
the selective service act must regis

only on the man who fails to appear
but on any member of a registration

“Further than this, me registra

FIGHT IN MACEDONIA
- BALFOUR CONFIDENT
Allies Start Hattie Along IOO->lile
Front.
Along the entire front in Mace
donia. from Mastir to I>ake Doiran,
a distance of about 100 miles, the
Allies have opened a great offensive.
On every section of the line Gen.
Sarrail’s artillery is roaring day and
night, hut the campaign is in its inl-
ta Iphase and there is little te Indi
cate as yet where the main attempt
at an advance will be made.
Bitter fighting is proceeding in the
bend of the Cerna river and in the
neighborhood of the Vardar, the two
points on the Macedonian front
where the wild mountain country is
broken by fertile valleys. Military
critics are agreed that it is up one
of these valleys that the Allied
forces must force a way, hut the op
erations have not advanced far
enough to indicat^whioh is the chos
en point of attavk.*

completely and as quickly after

lute cleanliness of pall, can and
cow' must be secured. If this Is done,
thunderstorms will no longer sour
the milk The warm, damp weather
which we have Just before thunder
storms really does tend to caiiHO milk
to sour because it has not been
property cared for..
This souring takes place because
little invisible plants, called bacteria,
get into it in dirt or by lurking in
the corners and seams of poorly
cleansed pajls or cans. The remedy
Is plain. Keep the bacteria out by
using seamless pails and cans and
see that absolutely no dirt or dust
gets into the milk In the stable or
anywhere else.
Profits from'milk will be greatly
increased by a good supply and
proper use of clean hqt water and
an ice house or good cold spring.

THE LIMA BEAN.
Few of us realize South Carolina’s
yearly importation of the common
lima or butter bean, which will grow
and produce to perfection in all sec
tions of the State. In this crop, we
readily, recognize the three “F's" of
successful and productive agricul
ture—food for man, feed for domes
tic animal, and fertility for the soil;
all of which are dependent one upon
the other and of equal Importance.
On tka eve ,,f the praaant criuis, the
farmers of Hre-Routh could resort Dr
no secondary food crop that offers a
more promising outlook, as the crap
is easily grown, produces well, and
furnishes wholesome food for both
man and beast. This crop should oc
cupy a place In every home garden,

Mr. !«aa*lag's attitude toward tkla
matter, like that of Attorney Gen
eral Gregory, who la responsible for
the censorship provisions of the aa- ,
pionsge bill, it Is pointed out. Is In
striking contrast with President
Wilson's views as announced la hil
mosf famous state paper. That paper
was his message to Congress on
April 2, asking a declaration of war
against the German government.
In that message the president dia-*
tinguished sharply between the im
perial German government and the
German people, and It was the secret
diplomacy of an hereditary autocrat,
he said, that made this distinction
possible. . In bis war message the
president, after saying that self-gow-
erned people do not fill their neigh*
hors’ countries with spies «nd In
trigues," went on:
“Such designs can he successfully
worked out only under cover and-
where no one has the right to ask

of deception or aggression, * carried,
it may be, from generation
to generation, can be worked
out and kept from the light only
within the privacy of courts or be
hind the carefully guarded confi
dences of a narrow and privileged
class. They are happily impossible
where public opinion commands and
insists upon .iull information con-
