THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1915 N Why is a street sprinkler. o Now is the time to fight the fly. o I We must he pure In thought as well as in deed. C o Spring fever is the common complaint now. T4* 1 o 4V\ v\i ?i %? .L rt ^ .1 /N^ M ...1. . XL io Lilt; man v\ liu uutfft llllllgft WHO is criticised, / v * * * o A hard timo now will surely bring a change for better later on. t; O Anger, worry ami irritability are useless expenditures o$ energy. o?? Maybe Mexico will have an earthquake some of these days and sink. ?rA> The town lives in everlasting dust for the want of a street sprinkler. i.i \ o The "good old time religion" suits us much better than "Billy Sunday." O? -r? Now is the time when men do not " care to change places with the busy bee. o Rest assured that, it is not work but worry that will put you out of busincss. O i Laziness is tho bane of the poverty stricken. It is the reason why they remain so. $ The most valuable things we have in this world cost, us the most in time and effort. <>-4 The man who robs, you of your lime is just as bad in sense as the man who takes your money. The character of some people is as hard to understand as the deepest mystery of all time. ... A ?. Bread and meat is what the world will need most of next year. Let the farmers take the hint. o What would you do if you had a mill ion dollars? Very likely you would turn into a fool. (v Some towns allow grass to grow in the streets, others see to it that nothing is carried but <fUst. <i The town could ^iot make a better investment in any o(ne small thing just now than a street sprinkler. There was never jany sense in burning the candle at both ends when this resulted in bad management the 'l clay before. o As a general rule the man who blows the loudest on the streets about what he can do is one who all his life has done the least of everything. o A few hundred dollars invested bv this town in a street sprinkler would save the merchants thousands of dollars in the course of a few years. o The farmers of this county we think will raise as much tobacco this year as ever. They are justified in doing this for everything points to fair prices for the weed, In this day and time it is required that much investigation must be done Investigation patiently carried on reveals secrets that would otherwise go forever undiscovered. o The eternal pursuit of pleasure is one of the worst things that any man or woman ever undertook. There is no pleasure in it to toll the truth, and they find it out too. o ? \Vc predict to the farmers of this country a successful year. They will plant loss cotton and raise more supplies, and in our opinion what little cotton they do raise will bring good price. o Oli! it is no use for you to loose sleep over the European war. It has already taught this country many lessons, and we fool sure tho people of this country will profit by reason of the war. o The Easter fashions are just as curious as any we have seen the dear ladies have and this in the face of the fact that wo have heard it claimed that fashions wore coming back to the old styles. ??o As long- as the town cannot or will not buy a street sprinkler, why not make the fire boys wet the streets dur ing the dry weather, and thus give them a little needed exercise and practice ? ?*?o All achievements in this world are purely the result of energy. One man accomplishes more than another because he has more energy to apply n one way or another than the other fellow. 0 Some men are convinced that if they were inmmcnsrly rich happiness would be theirs for the rest of their lives. Such has not proved to be the case with those who had great riches suddenly thrust upon them. Money has to be earned in order to be enjoyed. n When W. H. Howell was in the ice business and running a factory here, a man approached him one day and asked if he would not make him some ice free for a picnic, provided he would furnish the water at the plant without cost to Mr. Howell. He has not yet answered the request. o Foolish question number one thousand and one: A man is hard at work in the shop or in the field, and another lushes in with some trifling tiling to do in which there is no profit and he knows it, and in the kindest of voices says: "Are you busy?" The proper answer is: "No, f am only at work to pass away the lime." ?-?o It is now wojl understood that school children not only need medical supervision while attending the schools, but need close attention during the four or five years preceding their entry into the schools. Many a boy and girl has missed a good edu cation on account of sonic little defect in the sight or hearing that could have been remedied. (EWWWMWWWWMWWi ' HORRY COUNTY g g TRUST COMPANY | |jgj L. D.

Out of 11 ,:fT0 square miles of ter itory occupiell by Belgium before the iresent war, less than 800 square niles thereof is &iiil held by the Belgians and their a i vies; and the nornal population of the part of the ountry still held by1 the Belgians is >nly 100,000, while the peace populaion of the whole country was more han 7,000,000. begins a statenent just prepare^ by the National icorgraphic Socjhty showing what Belgium has tdsi of her territory ince the present war began, it then ontinues: I All of Belgium's cities, her comneroe, industry and resources oi mine ud timber lands now lie behind the Jerman lines, which sweep from! Vestende, on the North sea, to Basle, chore the Rhine leaves Switzerland or Germany. Independent Belgium today is a hin strip of land wedged into the "Vouch department of Pas-de-Galais. 'his area is the >sand dune, infertile, ow-lying, sparsely populated part of) Belgium. Antwerp, Brussels, Liege, j Ihent, Charleroi, Louvain, Namur, j )stend, Malines and some seore of ther important cities of the low ountry are under German domina J ion. In that strip of territory which) ho allies defend the# is not a single ity with 20,000 population, and there I ire but ten small towns in all the secion. The coal fields of Liege, Mons and 3harleroi, with tjieir annual outputs n normal times of 22,000,000 tons a ear are in the hands of the invaders, rhe great steel and iron works of doge and Charleroi arp lost. When, 11 the years before the >var, one passid through the busy city of Liege on he Paris-Berlin express at night, he ;aw the thousands of splashes of fireflow in the fleeting shadows, where he restless furnaces of foundaries railing with every country labored. LTie American traveler who watched hese fires gleam by, recalled a strip >f railroad eastward out of Cleveland, where factory and foudary line j he way for miles. The iron, zinc, lead and manganese j nines of Belgium lie behind its eneny's lines. Its rich quarries of mar>le, granite and slate are in its lorthern and eastern provinces. Here dso, are its forests and its more im)ortant manufacturers. These sections lave been in the hands of the invadirs from the early days of the war. Client is the capital of the Belgium extile industry, an industry which iccupies many of the cities and towns >f Flanders, where woolen and coton stufTs and lace genres are made, >ut the looms all lie behind the Gernan front. So, tpo, is all of Belgium's agricultural country lost; and i sand-drift and stretches where lairy farming was carried on in peace imes are all that now remains under lie shadow of Belgium's battle standirds. Belgium stood sixth among the naions of the worbf in the relative valio of her commerce before the war moke out. Toflay this commerce has icon completely crushed; no free lorts remain, and there is not'even a ustoms port on all her borders where ?;oods pass through saVe those ports done upon the French and German jorders whore* war munitions and sup dins for contending aruyies arc pourng in. Belgium's trade is no more; ler industry is no mofe; her mining s no more; her cities hro foreign soil; ler schools, her fojrfr universities at jlhent, Liege, Brussels and Louvain ire no more; hey capital is lost; her 'arms are gone-*?Belgium, herself, is ilmost non-existent as a concrete hing. r?O Public Meet Kir for Bonds.
