The man who is staying at home 1 during the war, while his neighbor's ' sons are fighting in the trenches o< Krance; and fails to do everything j that lies in his power *tj, aid the j cause, is the worst kind of slacker . - j all. No kind of the worst punish men* j would be adeouate lor his crime. i The fanner who has failed this year to take the morfttage off tin farm-, or at least to -materially reduce his debt, had better quit and givp up his place now. He -will never have *nv better chance. o A roller mill wiVi be ercctcw'l at i l?on way in time to make tin- season's wheat jnto f lour. Wheat at any ! time in the history of Horry | County would havP been a very prof- j table eiop for thp farmers to pla-.nl.! If* is especially the thing to do now. o The high prices that have prevail- i eo this year should by all means ! stimulate a heavy production, am-, this would certainly be the best re- , suit that could follow from conditions! now. a.. t :.. t ? i.'. \. ci. .. v/iio a\ uium , a r i fin jj '' ' has already passed over Herlin. \\ hope. that thousand, will fly over that hated place before another twelve' months has gone by.

They have been filled one day only to be w ashed out again the next da v. It will pay to use some other way 'if repair and get the benefit of the money that is spent from year to year in hauling a. d placing *aivi where cement and bricks ought to go. o There is on. thing that we believ we can guarantee, and that is that i the people ot Hon v County am truo patriotic. Mom and tlvrc over thi. wide country arc isolated examph ^ of men who at heart are opposed t> the war, and to everything else thai is connected with the government ol this country. Vou cannot tell wine is in a man's heart, whore he is si lent and says nothing; but we tho-. cAlghly believe there are as lew me) in Horry ( ounty opposed to the wa and the plans of tip* government, a can b<? found in any territory of equa size anywhere in these United State. While the fact remains that man of the people in this country, fovmc 1> subjects of Germany, arc to-da us good American citizens as an country'has; yet it is necessary fc the government to watch all of then for among them are those who woul hesitate at nothing to aid German in her esppionage system or seer* intrigues. Here is evidently XV nource of all of the trouble arisin during the recent past by means * Cieimany obtaining advance informs tion of war secrets and army mov< ments on the part of this country. 'file war needs pork and wheat to turn the tide in favor of the United States as well as men in the trenches. ; The slog-an of the farm demonstration department is to win the war not alone in the trenches oT France, but <m the farms of South Carolina. ?o Some people have gone wild on spending, ami right in tin? face of the highest prices of everything this country has ever seen. It is the grout est mistake ever made. It is a tinve i when every cent should be saved. TRAINING PROGRAM NOT TO BE CHANGED if t American War Mission's Rec. ommendations Will Not Disturb Plans, Says Baker. i \\ ashing Ion. Recommendation j lho American war mission that troops bo sent to Franco as rapidly as possible will not result in any change hi the general plan of training the soldiers in the United States.

Every possible energy will be dovoted to speeding ufc> productions of munitions and equipment, and this, with the agreement of the Allies 10 furnish the ships and equipment, is expected to result in the despatch of the armies abroad much sooner than was at first thought possible. Neither ships nor heavy artillery for any great force would be available on this side of the Atlantic for some time. Speed I' p Ordnance. Efforts to speed up the ordnance bureau work wore reflected in Secretary Baker's announcement of the reorganization of the bureau, with j experienced business men at the head i of th<> several divisions who will have charge of the general work. Reorganization of the cjuartormast er general's corps under Major Geu. Goefhals, acting qu irtermaster gen. oral, along the linos obtaining some I 3 ears ago, when there was a commissary general and a paymaster general, als.o has been suggested. Gen. Goothals is said to favor this plan, and in this connection it is understood that Major Gen. Jamev A. Alcshirc, the former paymaster general, and his assistant, Major Gen. C. A. Devol, will bo recalled to active service. Steps to increase the efficiency of j the army machine also have been taken by the newly created war council o! the War Department.
