THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1918 Even after the Germans are beaten to a frazzle, it will take years maybe to get matters adjusted so that the fighting boys may rest easy and come home. o Now is the time when the thrifty housewife will make herself busy in preserving the products of the farm that will go to ruin without that labor ???o Even the few who stood for peace before war was actually declared, arc now sorry they acted that way. ii Nothing of greatness ever came from inaction too long continued. o Gasoline has apparently become necessary to the lives of some people judging by the way they burn it up for useless purposes. o One of the most important things to be done in this section or any ether is to have the expenditure of public money looked into regularly and carefully to the smallest detail. Words do not always stand for what is in the heart, and never will so long as deceit is a part of some men's natures. The United States must borrow money and also raise funds by taxation . A united people is willing. o What you may do for the red cross or the Y. M. C. A. is a free gift to the cause, while your money spent in war savings stamps is an in vestment from which you will receive returns It is the nature of man to refuse to give credit to the ability and foresight of another in attaining any success, but rather they lay the .success to something else such as the particular business involved, the per sons employed in it, or even luck. The Germans sent over a few submarines recently in an effort tc bring the war directly to our own doors, principally, it is believed, foi ?the effect this action woul 1 have on the minds of the American people; and of couurse with the view of strik ing at the United States transportscarrying soldiers to the war in France. They succeeded in wrecking a number of vessels engaged in runuiicicu ami hum up uui ?">jiippiu^ felony the coast for a time; but as tc breaking down the morale of the American people in this war, neithei the Germans or any other people or earth can ever do that. o No person in this country is to b< more despised than a German spj actually engaged in work for tha country; and next to him is the mai who while not actually engaged ii such work, spends his time in run ring down the government an< using what little influence he has a: a backward force in the movement t< win the war. NO FURTHER NEWS SINCE THETELEGRAM Editor Herald: Will you publish a few lines of poetry supposed to have been composed by Charlie G. Hardee of Co. A. 117th Regiment S. C. Engineers, and who has been reported as seriously wounded in France on June 4th. This poetry was sent by Charlie G. Hardee to his sister, Miss Blanche Hardee, near Loris, S. C. The post mark on the envelope in which this poetry was inclosed shows that it was mailed in France on May 29th, 1918, only six days before he was so seriously wounded "over there." This poetry was received by his sis-, ter on June 17th, and we request that it be published in our county papers. No further information whatever hag been received so far, from this unfortunate young man since the telegram, which was received on June 10th stating that he had been seriously wounded while in action on June 4th. It is not known here whether he is still living or not, but we have some hope that he may still be living and receiving the very best ol attention "over there." ?Father. (Tit le-Wanted). I stood amid the ruins of a war-torn village, In which scarcely a structure was left; Where treacherous attacks and merciless pillage, Had left the land naked and bereft. I saw piled around me in one great mass, The destruction of a generation's toil; The once dear homes of every class. Now torn to the surface of Nature's soil. I turn to the hills and the valley below, Where once spread fields of golden grain; I now sec nothing but a picture of woe? Instead of golden grain, a battlescarred plain. The plain, once the scene of grazing cattle, Where the torrential stream of the river ( ) flows. Is now become historical by a mighty battle, And made most sacred by the tombs of heroes. I saw then a maiden as she descended the hill, As slowly and sadly she wended he: way, To a little bare mound by the side of a rill Where the once dear body of a soldier lay. I In her hand she carried a wreath, To hang upon his humble wooden cross, And in her heart a prayer she breathed, That Clod might comfort her in her loss. Her heart was burdened, sad, air sore, Though she shed not even a tear; ilut all hei- sorrows she brav'-lv bore, As she gave to her country her brother so dear. ?Chas. CI. Hardee. Co. A. 117th Rog't.

GERMANS FEAR HUIN AS AFTER-WAR RESULT i London.?In the crushing out of i Germanism in the Untied States, the Koelnische V'olks Zoitung sees a i disaster in a measure balancing the r, Teutonic military success. An offi) cial dispatch from France today com 5 menting on pessimistic discussion in r the German press of events in the i United States, quotes the Volks Zeitung as follows: "Mr. Wilson hopes to succeed in ; crushing the German elements. He / will succeed. The German press is t already nearly crushed out of existi cnce in America. The greater part 1 of the German schools arc closed. - The German associations are having i to strip themselves of all vestiges of s Germanism. It is a complete dc> bade. "It is unnecessary to be pessimis TUB lOBBrOB tic to realize that the consequences Tft * ? " of our European victories are in a measure balanced by the sum total of the losses we have sustained in America. All this could have be<?n foreseen. "After the war Germans will qo longer be able to enter America, the Hamburg-American and North German Lloyd lines are entered in the black book. Ship building yards and offices have been sold with the prohibition of reselling to Gerniany after the war. The American press speaks of forbidding Germans to buy ship building yards. It will be the end of German trans-Atlantic commerce. "Besides these maritime forces, German estates representihg millions of dollars, stocks of copper, nickel, cotton, leather and chcmieal products have been seized and utilized to fabricate American war material." o SALE UNDER MORTGAGE. ?

HUNGER STALKING THROUGH GERMANY London.?The food situation in j Germany is becoming more critical.

As to the situation in the immediate future everything indicates that the period until the fruits of the new harvest becomes available is likely to be one of grave anxiety and distress for the German people. Only dire necessity could have compelled the government to reduce the flour ration and although the Germans expected great relief from the Ukraine, they can not hope to derive much assistance1 from that quarter. In this connection The Chementz Volkstimme says: "Kindly spare us Ukraine promises. We have been fpoled often with empty words. Tell the people the plain truth." i The Berlin Vorwaerts declares that the physical and moral powers of the population to endure privations have been subsequently diminishe 1 through another year of war dirt and that any further reduction of titrations must constitute "a serious danger." Meat is scarce and even now it is impossible to provide the large town with their proper quota of meat. The whol - cattle breeding industry of Germany is threatened. In April there was a further reduction in th milk supaly in some large towns, in1 eluding Berlin. | One German newspaper recently published an advertisement of a special drug "for stilling hunger and enabling people to hold out until the next meal." In regard to the effect that the shortage of food is having on the health of the nation the greater decrease in the German birth rate is a matter of interest. A report compiled by the local government board ui jiii (HiCo wniaii1 ivi viri niuiitv nuuw ed that in 1910 40 por cent, fewer babies were born than in 1918, an.I from 1915 to 1917 the total decrease was equivalent to 10,000,000. ? o The French command is wisely bidding its time before putting forth all the efforts of the French armies.

Austro-Hungarians apparently have closed the first phase of their offensive against Italy. Viewed after a week of fighting1, the offcn ive has j been little more than a dcmonstraj tion in force over a battle line of I more than 90 miles in length. It has gained none of its objectives and has cost the Austrians very dearly. From the first day of the attack it was seen that the Italians were not called upon to meet a tremendous on i slaught on some strategic key to ! their position such as was launched at Caporetto last October. They had rather, to defend their lines over a wide front against attacks which were launched seemingly without sufficient power to penetrate more than some of the advanced posts of the Italians and their allies. . The second phase of the offensive is expected to b( gin at any time 11 is not believed that -the Austrian.; will be willing, - - - nor will they be permitted by Germany, to end their drive against Italy with the results indicating an almost total I failure. There have been intimations : that Germany would assist in the j attack which is coining, and which may be launched against the mountain sector of the front. Large bodies of men have been assembled there, presumably for another attempt to break through the mountain barrier, ' *? NOTICE. All persons holding claims against the Estate of the late Joseph It.

There have been lively machine gun and rifle fire actions and intermittent artillery fire in the northern section of the Belloau Wood, where the Americans gradually1 are smoking out the remnants of the German machine gun nests. Otherwise the Mai ne front has been quiet. The '28th German Division has been relieved by the 87th, The newcomers are said to be only a second rate division, whereas the 28th was considered by the Germans as one of their best. <o ?

Inhaling the fumes of turpentine and white lead often weakens the kidneys. That's one reason why many painters have bad backs and sick kidneys Exposure, frequent colds and chills and the strain of climbing up and down ladders help start the trouble. If your back aches, if sharp pains strike you in the back when stooping, lilting or working; if you have headaches, dizziness, rheumatic pains; if the urine is discolored or passages painful and scanty, try Doan's Kidney Pills, the remcley so widely used and so well recommended by men in the painting trade. Here's Conway testimony. Harmon Hou rnd, painter, says: "1 think inhaling the fumes of turpentine is what weakened my kidneys. I had to get up very often at night to pass the kidney secretions, and they were unnatural. Finally I got Doan's Kidney Pills at the Conway Drug Co., and in a short time my back got stronger and the kid- I ney secretions became natural." \ Mr. Housand is only one of many Conway people who have gratefully endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your back aches?if your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidnev remedy?ask distinctly for DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS, the same / that Mr. Housand had?the remedy s hacked by homo testimony. 60c at all stores.
