THURSDAY, OCT. 4, 1917 Never allow laziness and lack of initiative to prevent you, as a farmer of Horry County, taking advantage of all that nature has provided for your comfort, convenience, and bodily wellbeing. A portion of the year, it is cold and the usual crops you raise will not grow. During that time, you, and generally your fields are lying dormant, in Winter quarters, so to speak.! Nature has provided a few serials that will grow and thrive during the cc ldest Winter we have in this section. The principal of these is wheat. While you are confined by the fireside in the cold Winter, your fie.d , will produce for you, one of the bes: ( foods known to man. Why not take j advantage of this. All the talk now isj to produce plenty of food to aid Uncle Sam in carrying on his war. It will not only help Uncle Sam for you to plant wheat, it will help you by giving you a valuable crop that you car, grow in the Winter time and harvest in May. Get busy to-day and ordei your seed. Road books and papcis! and learn how the land should br* pro-, pared. Get the seed and plant t'noj wheat. See about the seed to-day. G to preparing the land without delay. The very foundat ion of the count*, v , is upon the rock e" equal p ivileg s to all, and discriniination aganist no race or class. All must he treated J alike and by the same measure. o In our view, the action of Germany j in sending flying machines against defenseless towns and bombing helpless women and children in England and France; calls for definite action in retaliation on the part of the allies, and in the same way. They demand it and it should he done well and at once. 1 f you .happen to get a copy of this paper, or if you see it at your neighbor's heme, look it over and e mpa'c: it with any county paper you hav S'/er seen. We have faith that you will admit that it is the best by fa?* Then send us the money for a year's subscript ion. Let a wheat crop grow for you during the coming winter when nothing else is making for you on the farm. 11/^ ~ ?i i Yf 1 tw IU tVUUI <11 011C O for prices of wheat seed. You may be able to pet your merchant or supply house to get the seed for you. Anyway get your seed now and make the land ready for planting the wheat crop. We need it. Have you ever noticed that in the case of a man who lias succeeded and accomplished anything worth while -n this world; that the smaller men are always looking and searching for something to tell against him, and use ic to his down-fall if possible? On the other hand take the lazybones who have never done anything and who is probably a drag upon the progress of the community where he is suffered to live, and you will not find anybody at any time who is looking carefully into his actions cither public or private. Nature is nature we suppose. There are a few people in Country, who show by their every action, that they favor Germany, if tlwry 1 really favor anything*. A time is coming for all such when they will be sorry they were ever born in 'this country. Even the substitutes for common articles of food in Germany are getting short. How long will it last ?is the question* the hungry people are asking. o If ?e can induce the farmers oi Horry County next year to plant wheat, we will feel that the Heralu has dane no small thing in publishing all the information the paper could get during the past several years in an effort to show the farmers the way to further progress and prosperity. 4) Most of the labor strikes in this country now are helped on by German interests. The sooner the ring leaders are in jail the better it will be for this country. o Given a little time and Uncle Sam will be fully able to cope with all obstacles in the way of a com plete victory in Kurope. How many men in "business wiil \ ou find in a day, in any of the towns or cities of this State, whoshow by their attitude and their tieatment of customers that they actually want their business and want to keep it ? They come up o Germany deliberately planned this war, and deliberately plunged the world into it, at what that country believed was the proper time for it. The true state of affairs is not allowed to get into the understanding ef the German soldiers. o Some men say the war will last about two or three years longer, while others figure on fifteen or twenty; and none of them know anything about it of course. o Some German sympathizers last week tried to claim that the attorney general in Illinois had rendered an opinion to the effect that the prcsi dent had no authority to send troops to France. A telegram was sent him asking for an explanation and he answered and explained by telegram, showing he rendered no such opinion, at least not in the way the Germans wanted to take it, and wound up with the sentence: "Damn the Raiser." TABOR NEWS. Tabor, N. C., Oct. 1. Owing to the e< ntinued cloudy and rainy days recently the farmers arc- badly Lehinin their work saving hay and cotton. We have just recently closed a fine meeting of days at Pleasant View Baptist church. Our good pastor, W J. Wilder, secured the services of R? v. M. M. Ibmsau, of Bishopville, S.

The trustees and a good many of the pttftrons came out on the ^ morning of the oponing. The faculty 1 for the ensuing year is as follows: Prof. Walter P. Gore of Longs, S. C., Principal; Miss Margaret A. Stanley, ol Loris, S. C., intermediate work and M iss Sallie D. Richardson, of Loris |l S. C., Route 2, has charge of the primary department. We feel sure that this will be one of the most successful years of our school work. There was an ice-cream supper given ;at the school house on Thursday night, Sept. 20th. The funds will go for ithe improvement of the building. The amount of $26.00 was raiaed. The teachers had prepared just a shoK pix>gram for the ociasion. It consisted of a few patriotic songs by the school, and a quartett, "Just Before the Battle Mother" by Misses Carter, Richardson and Stanley and Prof. Gore. The building was decorated in patriotic colors ar.d United States flags. Great interest was manifested by the people of the community. Everybody seems to be enthusiastic over School work in this section. A pocial tax has been voted on in this district and \vc have been successful ir. getting a seven month term with Jrrce teachers, which we have never had hcrtoforo. We believe that great' progress will be made during this | year, and that the people will become more and more interested in the advancement of thci:- children.

(Correspondence.)? The greatest battle ever fought, tin 18 nonths' struggle for Verdun, which uis been in progress since February 21, 1910, has been a brilliant triumph or the French army. Today not onty he famous city but 'ts outlying beit >f forts arc in the hands of the vicarious French defenders, while the liscomfited German assailants lie benn<l their shell shattered lines suf'ering severely from the hard bits hey have received and unable to do anything more for the moment to retrieve their most recent defeat than to try to hold back their antagonists while they recover breath. Among the one time wooded valleys md hills in the vicinity of the fortress V) fewer than 000,000 Germans have fallen dead or wounded. Tens of thousands of their bodies were hurled where they fell only to be disinterred again by shells tearing up the ground in the course of the incessant bombardments and then once more covered by earth thrown up by other explod ing projectiles. The correspondent of Associated Press had frequent v>v ? evidence while crossing the torn up battlefield during the fighting of the temporary character of ^he graves. Around Douaumont, Vaux, Pepper Hill, Goose Hill, Dead Man's Hill and Hill 304, all centers of the most serious fighting during many months, the earth is impregnated with blood and the churned up soil is so dessicated that in dry weather it forms into deep beds of dust, while in wet weather it % ? *H ' * lality Goes Cl< by an es tfcbfu factor T ho Dort is not a no 1 iTJ^jr ^las ^een on mi IVi# ^ias T1evcr bc^n sold territory opened up f< wk ^7X1 tread.

In the battles of August and Ojfoi bor, 191G, Verdun had freed itself of i seme of the heavy pressure of the G'-r I i. an hosts, but the cuter lir.e of buls i and woods suri-ounding the city was still in the occupation of the enemy, j The great Flanders battle this summer was well under way when the j French commander in chief, General j Pctain, decided that the time had ar| rived for a new push at Verdun, be. : fore which a strong German armv un. i do?- the orders of the crown prince was i sitting. ( Preparations were carefully made * I and the artillery began its work of do- ' j struction of the German positions y j about the beginning of the second 1 < week of August. The Germans ve! plied vigorously and the reciprocal | cannonade gradually increased in volume until the morning of the cl jy ( j fixed for the French infantry to go < I "over the top." That dawn when the i writer ipade his way across tlie sear- < ed and scoche<i earth towards the front line in order to observe the op'n j ing of the engagement every noise conceivable by the human imagination 1 seemed to have combined to break the ' ear-drums and shatter the nerves, while all about great slugs of steel fell and scored and wracked the soil.

On , a fiont I stretching in a straight line just about i 12 miles territory of a depth of from t 1,500 yards to 8,000 yards had been i recaptured by the French, the villages i of Champneuville and Samogneux, as 1 well as the woods of Malan court, 1 Avocourt, Camard and Cumieres has i been occupied, Goose Hill and Talou ^ Hill had been taken, Mort Homme and i Hills 304 and 344 had been stormed < and occupied, over 11,000 prisoners i had been rounded up and nearly 50 ] German cannon had been taken or de- i stroyed, together with more than 200 j machine guns and about 40 trench i mortars. < *mt ... . 1 = ? < ?~?ry sax* Through TABLISHED \v automobile, VSil^rYk South until the ^ or a f>f> inch ^ 1 made in a tG') k^M'/Tv J OF CHAR- [7?/ buggy maker, yjLnT^ factory.

Coker, United States Food \dministrator for South Carolina, has ssued an appeal to the people of the stetc advocating a meat'ess and vheatless day for each week. The following i? the appeal to tno vacple of South Carolina: ' f 1 m /k .V>M O 1* - - uug twnn' \vj our people o.prove their patriotism by a little sell lenial. While the soldiers of our alios are bravely fighting and our own iplendid boys are getting ready for he big push we mu I do cur part at lornc to support and encourage them. "The United States Food Adminisration has asked every family of theUition to abstain from using wheat inmy form during one day of each week md also to absU.in from the use m neat for one day. It is estimated hat 80,000,000 to 90.000 000 bushels >! wheat and 2,200,000,000 pounds of neat would be saved if the entire na,:'on adopted this program.

Verdun had been freed from the constant menace of the Germans and .1 n v- * ... me rrencn troops nad shown their * narked superiority to the Germans t>oth on the defensive and the offensive. They defended the citadel with tenacity and wonderful courage wken 4 t was threatened by apparently overwhelming: forces, and when their own time came they executed a brilliant of fensive movement which pushed the X invaders back until at the moment of writing the nearest German line north ward is over six miles away from the city, while to the eastward the Germans are only slightly closer. The French, however, are in possession of all the commanding hills and are able thus to observe ; the enemy's movements and to take the necessary precautions against any further attack.
