THURSDAY, JAN. 11, 1917 I If you believe that knowledge is power, then the more of it you can get, the better it will be for you. 0 What is the business of this paper, It is mainly to carry you the news, whieh is really knowledge. Rend it arid you will bo up with the times. Q The space in this paper is not offered free. It is of great vuluo us , U/\C /\ llM.r.l ,1<inrl ,4 U n 1 I rt l*s\livwl I I U1VOQ \> IIU ll? Vt VI I v: VI It IIUY V 1 V U IIM out. Space in the Herald will ai- < ways bring you good returns if you 1 use it in the right way. Try it and ] you will see. < C o 1 Ever since man was created he ( has been wanting light. This paper 1 is always full of information from 1 cover to cover. Take it during 1917 < and keep up with the things which 1 are happening right at your own 1 door and which you would never 1 know if you do not read it in the 1 paper. v, i The general public always act shy when they are offered something j: for nothing. They are looking for the "negro in the woodpile" in all ( such cases. ^t,i i- |.? ? ? j*' ' '' 0 Remember son that if you never begin a job, you will never finish one; then quit hesitating and begin now. o The other man's business is no business at all when you try to make it your own. o In some sections of Horry just now the roads are bad. Look after them as soon as possible, or they will grow worse and worse. o A good road by your door will increase the value of your land more than your taxes cost you to help make the road. o Now is the time to begin if you v/ant to do anything. The longer it is put off the harder it is to begin. I o A boy or girl who expects to amount to anything, must sooner or later study hard in. order to train the mind* to bring success. There is a sort <bjf education : that is not obtained in siftoois but which is education nevertheless. No matter hovr the mind gets its training, it certainly must have it in one way or anoth '***' * Lack of understanding is what l loses the day in almost every case. Grind your own axe and leave the other fel'ow to grind his. It will be best for both. The year of 1917 holds fine promise of many blessings. How shall we make use of them is the question. o Some people never count the cents; it is only dollars they arc able to see. But do they really see those ? o Modern practice, it seems, more and more tends to quit instructing the students of the schools while they are in school hours; but spends it time mostly in marking out today lessons which are intended to be learned to-morrow, and which in nine cases out of ten are never actually learned at all. o No fertilizer is more profitable than the "home-made." o Nothing is more uncertain than the price of cotton and tobacco this year. One thing that is entirely left out in the consideration of many of our teachers is that of thoroughness. It is more a process of cramming and skimming, most the latter, so far as they are concerned They do not have a rule which requires the pupils to know and understand so far as they go, the effort seems to be to make the lessons as long as possible, and much longer in many instances than any pupil could possibly learn in twice the time generally allotted to him or her in which to master it. The old rule that when you got to "horseback" you must be able to spell all of the words up to as far as "horseback" is no longer adhered to. We do not believe in n)?l mnf lnwlo 4- ? - -- i ' C ...VVIIVO.-. >/uv *T ?IV? l\IIU? Ultll l? the teachers of this State were compelled to take their pupils along only so fast as they were able to master it thoroughly, there would be a general "pick-up" in the advancement of the pupils of which the parents would soon take notice. Go slow but sure is a good rule to follow in getting an education. mm i ????r DEFECTIVE WIRING BURNED BIG HOTEL Deputy Reports to Insurance Department on Hampton Terrace's Destruction. i.^i Defective wiring probably caused the destruction by fire December 31 the Hampton Terrace hotel in North Augusta, according to a report made by a deputy insurance commissioner, J.

The house kvas undergoing renovation and war to have opened for the season early this month. Learn to make the best use of ivhat time you have. It is valuable. Turning from one thing to another is a kind of rest that pays better than idleness. Those who have to work will envy those who are idle and arc apparently able to remain idle. But there is not so much pleasure in it, as you will find when you have to loaf day after day If you cannot open your mouth without knocking your friend, your neighbor, or your town in general, then it would be better if you were struck dumb and never allowed to speak again. The tongue of slander is so sharp and stinging that it pays to stay clear of it. Some will say they do not mind it, but that is before they have tried it. Each year sees great improvements in the county, and let us all help in making the new year one of the best we have ever had. o | TRESPASS NOTICE.

Doellefeld of Carlyle, I1L, recently wrote to Dr. Caldwell, at Montioello, 111., that she has used Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in her home for a number of years, and would not be without it, as with it she has been able to keep her four children in perfect health. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts on the bowels in an easy, natural way, and regulates the action of this most important function. Nearly all the sickness to which children are subject is traceable to bowel inaction, and a mild dependable laxative, such as Dr. Cald| well's Syrup Pepsin should have a place in every family medicine chest. It is pleasant to the taste and children like it, and take it readily, while it is equally effective for adults. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold in drug- stores everywhere for fifty cents a bottle. To avoid imitations TEUTONS PREPARED TO PROFFER TERMS ______ SniH tn Rp Rp^Hv tn flntlinni VMI V?

' 'X. i\, Some Minor, Operations but Nothing Approximating a ' > K : General Altercation. The Roumanian province of Dobrudja now is in the hands of the central powers, whose armies continue to advance through Great Wallachia into Moldavia. Braila, an important commercial city in Great Wallachia, on the west bank of the Danube south of Galatz, has been captured by German and Bulgarian troops. Several village. on the outskirts of Braila also have been occupied and Field Marshal voMackensen's troops have taken 1,40C prisoners in their latest success. Virtually all the river Danube now i; in the hands of the Teutonic force: who control all the eastern bank ant' aM except a few miles of the westcn. bank. Galatz, 12 miles north ol Braila, is the only important R:u manian town on the Danube yet u Roumanian hands. The clearing ol the Dobrudja by the combined Bui garian, Turkish and German forces it ic reported semi-officially from Berlin, leaves a large part of thes: forces ready for other einployinOii' and closes to Uus.ia die Dobrudja pathway to Constantinople. Advancing through the m untains in western Moldavia, Auslro-German ti oops have gained additional ground and have captured scvnal hundred | prisoners. netween Kimnik-JSarut and Fokshani von Mackcnsen's men continue to progress a,u' have ct\u pied the towns of Slobozia and Rote.1 li. The Russians and Roumanians, Petrograd announces, repulsed attacks at some points on the Moldavian front but near Toposchik and Noiucha the Austro-Germans gained m ound. Austro-German troops have taken I an island in the Dvina fiver, north of " Dvin.sk, from the Russians. Attacks the Russians, Berlin states, in attempts to regain the island, were remised with heavy losses. Elsewhere >n the Eastern front there have been < mtiol engagements. Small raids and isolated attacks.* lave taken place at various noints on I the Western front. Near Loos, Berin announces, the Germans carried >ut a raid successfully. London dates the raiders were driven 0111 if'tor heavy fighting. A German at- * ark against, a small French post icar Hill 304, east of the ISIeuse in .lie Verdun region, was re ulsed. Elsewhere there have been artillery utivity and trench bombard.nents. Paris and London report considerable serial " activity on the front ir, France. Premiers Lloyd-George of Great i Britain and Briand of France have ' arrived home for a conference with the Italian ministry on the general situation. They were accompanied 3y other members of the British and French war councils A representative of the Russian general staff also is expected to take part in the conversations. 1 1 H H I J H Ir| I I I I al 1 II11 V360 PICTURES I 360 ARTICLES I EACH MONTH \ ON ALL NEWS STAMPS |M| 15 Cents | POPULAR S MECHANICS ^ MAGAZINE ?
