WELL-KNOWH FARMER I OES VERY SuuSEwlV j I Andrew Jackson Rabon died sud-' dc r.ly at his home in Galivants. For-j ry on Saturday morning, May 4th 1018. IIis trouble va:; said to be apoplexy. He wai a prosp rous and industrious farmer of the Pleasant j TP-ion aceticn, and was a devot d' Christian. . k, ARTESIAN WATERlS ! PUMPED INTO TANK!

It was stated that this water could not yet be used as the tank was before that filled with ordinary lake water for fire protection only; and the entire system would have to be cleaned out before any connections could be blade. The well flows a large stream which at last accounts had not yet quite cleared up, showing come sand and mud in the flow. As soon as possible tbe entire system will be in working order. WHICH SHOULD GO WHICH SHOULD FARM! The Local Hoard for Horry Coun'yj has been attempting by means of a supplementary questionaire to find out what registrants in Class 1 in Ibis county should be loft on the j farm. These supplementary que ticnaircs have been sent, out to ^dl Class 1, and are rapidly being returned to the Hoard . The Local Board announces that a!l l questionaircs or claims for deferred service- on agriculutral grounds must be filed in the office at Conway on or before the 18th day of May. The purpose of these questions is for the Board to get a general survey of Class 1, so they will know whether to consider the orders of the WcoDepartment strictly or not. The Boa.d certainly desires to leave a I home as many persons who are work ing' on the farms as possible; but the reports from Washington indicate that more than twice as many men may bo called out during 1918 as was contemplated at the bgoinning of the year. For these reason ; the applications for deferred service so far, have been rather strictly applied an l not many men have been deferred. It must be remembered that the very men who work best at hon\e are ; the men who make tne best soldieis. The Local Board cannot afford to let Horry County's position in the army suffer, by taking the advise of so many people, who want us to send 1 anly loafers and beats to the tfrmy. That is the class of men we want'tho least to do with. Under our State law ' loafers and beats belong in the OlVain Sang, and our good citizens will' do .veil to have-them sent'there - instead askrnfr'v.the.-1' 0 . w vsca i <1 VU 75CIIU ' diem to the Army.. nw ^ocal Board for County of Horry," State of South Carolina, ( * Conway, S.

WATSON LOSESYOUNG CHILD Ti\e friends of the Rev. E. O. Watson were saddened when they read l*\*t weak an account of the death of hi* child* as published in the Daily I Record. His son, J. E. Watson, a resident of Conway* received a telegram and left last Friday for his fathers home in Columbia- The ac| count of the accident as it appeared in.the Record, follows: "Mary West Watson, nine year old , '^ug^Vv'.'o the Rev. and Mrs. E. O., Watson, died Friday morning at 9 o'clock at the Columbia hospital the result of injuries received accidentally late Thursday afternoon near her home at College Place. The little girl and another child about thrt same age, William Owen, were ridI ing ;\ bicycle on the Winnsboro read. | ] jcmi vv. Wilkinson, toller of the Pal-' .".otto National Hank, riding a motorcycle, collided with the bicycle and little Mary who occupied a position on the handle bars received the force of the impact. She was rushed to I the hospital where physicians and j nurses did everything' in human po.vI er for her relief but all efforts were in vain as the child had sustains ! internal injuries. Mr. Wilkinson is grief str'eker over the deplorable accident and declares it was unavoidable as he had. slowed his machine down to a very k\v rate upon seeing the children ahead of him. He is quoted as having* explained further that the hi yclc was cut suddenly right before the front wheel of the motorcycle, not giving h?m a choree to stop or dri.'o his machine round. Ho picked up the child and rushed her to a nearby house from where she was later sent to the hospital in an ambulance. Mr. Wilk'nson upon learning of the child's death called at the sheriff's office and announced | \ offoct tlisit found if there were any legal process os connected with the accident. The Rev. Dr. Watson was in Atlanta on mini terial and camp bu incps when the accident occurred that resulted fatally for his little (laughter. Ho was immediately informed of the tragic news and is expected to reach Columbia in a few more hours. Dr. Watson is one of the camp pasters at Camp Jackson. Ho is one of the leading ministers of the Methodist conference and during his connection with the ministry no has held important pastorates in all parts of the State. One of his former church os is the Washington Street Methodist, Columbia, from which he resigned to direct an industrial school. Early in the war he sought duties m connection with the military life of the soldiers and was assigned to rowork at Camp Jackson. Hundreds of friends of the Watson family in South Carolina and elsewhere will deeply sympathize with them in their bereavement.

' i' Renewed Offers a 7 * AUSTRIAN TROUBLES COMING TO A HEAD T . , , - - - Population Starving and Secth ing With Revolt, Says Correspondent. London.?Via Ottawa.?The host indication of the enemy defeat ?n northern Inlanders, in the view of London newspapers, is the evident imminence of a renewal of the pea.ie offensive. The German papers emphasize the report that the Pope is about to issue a new peace note, while the German peace agents are busy in neutral countries. Articles iu tne Sctndina\ ian. press suggest that ll-aly may he the main objective >f the yni'iny attempts to divide the Allies. Meanwhile the troubles of the \e Irian Empire are apparently coming to a head. The cabinet crisis in Austria and Hungary is still unsettled. The A i biter Zeitung. of Vienna, denounces Hungary for starving Au stria and declares that the imports from .the Ukraine are still remote and empty stomachs cannot afford to wait. The arrival of Czecho-Sluvte troops on the Austrian front under the Italian flag has disquieted the Austro-Hungarian leaders, who fear the effect on their Slav troops. R ccntly some of these men persuaded a number of Austrian Czechs to doert, which the Italian barrage between the Austrian support an I front lines enabled them to do. An English correspondent on the Swiss frontier has received information that the populations of Austria and Hungary arc starving and seething with revolt, which, he prcdi r.s, will break out when the western offensive has been brought to a it- ndstill.

The Americans peppered the enemy machine with bullets and drove t down until it fell behind the Gorman trenches. Captain Hall and lieutenant Rickenbacher returned Tom the fight unscathed. This was ;hc third enemy machine to be bagjed by tht* Americans in three weeks vhile several others have been report 'd brought down unofficially.
