THURSDAY, JULY IS, 1918
The most uncertain man about his
fate to-day is the German Kaiser.
o
The Germans are wanting peace
more than they are willing to say.
u??
Energy is useless unless applied in
the right direction.
o
This war has no time for neighbor
hood disputes that lead to nothing
except loss of time.
o
Words are not sufficient to warn
some people; hut with them a blow
is necessary.
o
For every privilege and advantage
that \v0 gain we must expect some
difficulty.
o
We have a few right here who are
worse than Rip Van Winkle for
long sleeping.
o
The age of miracles has long since
passed and yet there are people looking
for them to happen every day.
o
Some men have lost the habit of
work and never will get into th?habit
again.
The men who believe they could 1
carry on the war better than those
who are conducting it are as plentiful
as ever. They are not the men
who go into the trenches either.
Those who raised wheat last season
are glad'of it. Plant it yourself;
this Fall and you will be glad too ,
when another Summer come.-.
Th(? United States will tak no
chances with (lerman Imperialism,
but will prepare for an army large
enough to whip that countr\ at -.1
hazards.
<>
This is a time when ;hin"s w I! not
! regulate them: elv<hut the govern*
ment has to take hold of many prop
ositions that would not net <1 any attention
in times of poaee.
o
The laek of rain has cut the corn
croj) in this section of the State.
This partial failure of the corn crop
shows the farmer the good sense
J there is in planting some wheat, (lot
in a good crop of wheat this Fall
and raise food supplies during tincold
weather. It may help to pass
over another corn failure.
At this time, more than formerly,
the people of this section of the
f country, should patronize their own
<1 Summer resorts and refrain from a
r trip to the mountains. By going to
r the seaside resorts on the Atlantic
? Coast your vacation money is spent
in your section of the country, and
ft by going away to the mountains the
t money you spend goes to improve
;; and increase business for tho people
$ of entirely different .section. I'
? is cheaper for you to spend the va
1 cation near home and the different'
J may be invested in war s;.\in
stamps.

o
The Herman Kaiser will fight this
war to the death because it is a life
and death struggle with him. If h<
wins the war he will live on and
occupy his throne until he dies and
will leave it to the Crown Prince to .
take up the reins of world domination
where his father left off. If he
loses he must step clown and out forever.
This is the reason why he
must fight.

Horryitcs who are found to be luko
warm about it and having nothing
to say either for or against the war.
A few are going- so far as to have!,
something to say against it. Their j
cases, at least as to some of them. 1
are being considered by the officials, 1
and it is likely that some of the 1
"knockers" will get a trial in the '
United States court before the year|
is out.
o
Taxes increase almost every year i
in Conway and yet the town fails to ;
enjoy the use of an ordinary street!
sprinkler. Private sprinkling of the j
streets by a few of our business men j
in front of their places of business
is becoming common, just as;
it was common a few years ago i
for the owners of the property to lay ]
cement walks in front of their buildings.
In the course of the last few
years several homemade sprinklers j
have been used temporarily by the,
town force, and then it was thought
that the purchase of a modern
sprinkler was about to be made, tn?*
homemade contrivance being I'or!
temporary use only.
In sonip of the communities >f
Horry County there is evidence of
the activity of some men to create
trouble for the registrants through
spite and ill will existing among the
families. Quito frequently instances
come to light. Reports made to the
local exemption hoard are investigated
and found to be without just
cause as to some suspected slackoi
or as to some man in a deferred
class who is found to belong where
lie was first placed regardless of the
opinion of his neighbor to the contrary.
A stop should be put to any
spite work of tlii.-> kind. It is the
act of a good citizen to report any
violation of draft laws or any disloyal
conduct on the part of another
citizen; but the man who goes to
tile extent of bringing up something
that has no foundation only for purposes
of spite deserves to have to
go to the trenches at once regardless 1
i of his age or condition, or else compelled
to work out a sentence on the
public works.

Amsterdam.?The military contributor
to the Norddeutsche Allege- j
meine Zeitung in discussing Secre- I
tary of War Baker's recent announce
ment as to the number of American
soldiers sent overseas, evidently:
writes from official inspiration. His;
arguments are similar to those of :
Lieut. Gen. von ?Ardenne, who, in the
Duesseldorf Nachrichten last Tuesday,
asserted he did not believe the
figures <>f American man power and
that numbers do not count anyhow.
"We are unable to verify the accuracy
of Secretary Baker's figures.
However, they are only intended to
throw dust into the eyes of the*
world. The !arge number claimed fori
the last three months seems to us,
quite impossible in view of the short ;
age of enemy tonnage," the Nord-'
deutsche Allcgemeine Zeitung's contributor
argues. He then presents
a calculation of his own and comes
to the conclusion "It can't be done."
"Let us assume that Secretary
Baker's figures are correct," he contmues.
"We need not la; alarmed.;
A nation wnicli has fought a world
of enemies four years cannot be j
frightened by the American bogy. (
We are unimpressed. They are only
cannon fodder, and not the equals of
ur war-proved, unconquerable
troops.
"W ,at is a million of Americans
com pared to the ten niiJlion well
trained and equipped Russians who
have fallen out of the battle lino?
Where could the Americans have
ai ed the requisite number of efliccr.
ami non-commissioned officers
o xpeditiously ?"
'i' e wj iter th'-n goes on to argu*
a it wh.at (Ireat Rritain failed to d?
A . a -riea cannot accomplish. Me declare.
tlu.t the Amorifun fighting
men cannot be properly equipped be- i
cause tlie American war material
i
manufacturers are swindlers, I
".Moreover, our expcricn'*e with
the American soldiers has not served
to fill us with over much respect for
them, although many doubtless are
regulars and comparatively \voll<
trained," be says. "We would not Do
afraid of a,000,000 of them. They
do not know what they are fighting
for."
* " t P i I
A!tor similar criticisms oi mcAmericans
as fighting men, the military
contributor arrives at the following
conclusion: 44We do not believe
that there is a large number of
them in the battle line?and even if
it were true we will, whip them, anyhow."

PRICES ARE HIGHEST ~

Tobacco men say that the prices j
which the leaf is bringing so far are
the highest they have ever been in
the history of the industry. Last
Monday at tHo warehouses here, the
sand lugs brought twenty cents per
pound, and the somewhat better
grade as high as thirty-nine cents
per pound. It is believed that the
prices will remain high through the
season, though this is not sure.
