THURSDAY, JAK. t? 0. 1918 !
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.

hope. that thousand, will fly over that
hated place before another twelve'
months has gone by. The one who
has already been had nv) time to
drop bombs.
o Heavy
rains in this town, have, in
the course of time, washed several
hundred streets away down the gutter;
for the reason that only light
eta th was used to fill the holes and
the wash-outs from time to time.
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

American War Mission's Rec.
ommendations Will Not Disturb
Plans, Says Baker.
i

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. This was

of the War Department to promptly
ca\ ry out the mission's suggestions.
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

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

Italian Headquarters in Northern !
Italy.-?The French in their recent!
successful operation on Monte Torn
ha captured more prisoners than they i
had men engaged, according to a ve
eran officer who witnessed the fight.
"It was ;; record making fight in
many lespccts," he declared. "The
breach took more prison*.vs than the.v
hud men engaged, which is among*
the records in military annals. They
also shipped their first Austrian prisoners,
which is another milestone for
them, as heretofore they had captui ?l
only Germans.
''When the prisoners were brought
ir I never saw a more miserable, uiliful,
starved lot of soldiers. When
the officers were lined up, there wore
<11 Austriaus and two Germans. The
\ustriun.s were told they would receive
the usual treatment given officers
and gentlemen, but the two Gr imms
were told plainly that the..*
would receive exactly the same treat
merit given French officers in Go;
many. The group of Austrian officers
was impressed greatly at this
and openly declared their haticd >\
the Germans. A little later wf. heard
the Austrhin soldiers cheering, and :t
turned out they were cheering thru*
French captors."
