L Credits of National Guardsmen to various counties were furnished by commanders of the South Carolina units. The enlistments in the regular army came from the adjutant creneral of the United States. On ac I count of the coast counties having men in the naval militia which is not included in the credits, these counties wore credited with 171 men in * t! Carolina National Guard whose permanent addresses are in ! other States. The excess of 33 Union men were credited to the other counties by population. The gross quota required to be [furnished in men from Horry is 279. From this is deducted the number of 45 men already in the army service from this county, thus leaving 233 men who must come from Horry County under the drawing that is to take place in a few days.

Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind.? Belief that "American men of the air" flying in American airplanes will end the vfar and establish permanent peace, which will be an ample compensation for all sacrifices, was expressed by Gov. James ivl. Cox, of Ohio, in an address this afternoon to Ohio men trying for commissions in hte officers' reserve camp. The men were told of th? gratitude and pride felt by the people of this State for their offering their services to the country and the civilized world in the interest of dem ocracy. "From the facts possessed," said I Gov. Cox, "I form the positive belief < that American aviators will break ] into the skyline of Germany like i birds in migration?not for the pur- j pose of killing women and children 1 nor of wreaking human slaughter in j any form?but the American bird- 1 men will reach Essen and Kiel and destroy not only the navy of Ger- < many, but every institution which ' continues the menace of Prussian i imperialism. We are not fighting 1 the German people, but are seek:ng 1 to strike down the products of dui^- 1 gerous Prussian leadership." ] Guarantee of Peace. j That the impossibility of its re- ' currence will be the only thing which 1 will make the war worth while, and * that this i3 ample compensation for ' any sacrifices which may be made, in ( order to give our children and our 1 children's children a guarantee of peace," was the statement of the. Ohio governor. America's entry into the war was not made, on the impulse of the moment, according to Gov. Cox, who . continued: "It is this spirit of an enlightened internationalism?.it is the cry of rc < lief from nations bent by the bur-'| dens of the ages?that has stiriedi| the heart of America and sends usj( forth to help in giving unto others j what has been given unto us." ' \ In concluding, Gov. Cox said that | after peace comes "it will then be . your duty to 'hold the fort' until the ( product of American genius and in- . dustry is ready to strike." j ( tLtU I tU l-AUULI Y i' FOR LORIS SCHOOL I.oris, July 16.?At a recent meeting of the Trustees of the Loris High School the following faculty was elected for the ensuing session: Principal, Prof. John I.

Berlin.?Emperor William has <li roc ted the following decree to the president of the state ministry: "Upon the report of my state min liur.v, made lo me in obedience to my decree of April 7 of the current year. I herewith decide to order a supple mont to the same, that the draft o the bill dealing with the alteration o; the jelectorial law of the House o Deputies, which is to submitted t* the Diet of the monarchy for de cision, is to be drawn up on the has is of equal franchise.

The introduction to the emperor's decree o the phrase, "equal franchise," mereh restores a provision, which, accord ing to Berlin gossip, was obtained ii the original draft of the emperor': Easter manifesto and was eliminat ed at the last moment in consequent of reactionary intrigue. It was als pointed out that the new imperia announcement does not prescribe im mediate adoption of the reforms in asmuch as the next elections ma> not take place until after the wa,. and there is not. a word of thn ino-n miction of parliamentarism in th imperial administration.

He proposed the formation "in Fu rope as near the front as possible o! an inter-allied committee to central i'/.e all the demands, to study an?l control them ami submit tlmm f.? I you, grouped according to their urgency in relation to military opera, tions, on behalf of the Allies." War Discipline Needed. For the United States, he said "there needs to bo a reform in your public life, not by any means *? change in ideal but a change in met! od . Your formidable industrial and financial power has been set in mo. tion. The time has come to adjust it to the necessities of the hour by imposing on that power a war discipline." The German press prophesied, he said, that "the hour is approaching when the needs of Europe and thosi of the United States will clash, when the difference in prices, the conflict 01 orders, the dispute for factories will dsetroy the hopes sprung out of the declaration of war," To set at naught "the insolvent hope of our Enemies," he sitid, "the United States must organize its own resources without ceasing to supply its Allies, a problem calling for tin concentration of all financial, eco ncmic ana numan resources in tin hands of the government." "Congress has voted the con'acrip tion of men," he said. "It remains to organize the conscription of material means. To that end two conditions must be fulfilled a thorough knowledge of those means and an equitable fixation of prices insuring to the Allied armies the same treat ment in America as to the American army itself, because we are now one common army fighting in a common cause." progMfor the horry union The Horry Union will be held at Pine Grove Baptist church commencing Friday before the 5th Lord day in July 1917.
