Debate Is Sharp.
Washington. ? Extension of the
proposed special war tax of ten dollars
a year on busniess or occupa- |
tions so as to include all persons in
professions and trades earning $2,000
or more annually, was approved to
day by the house ways and means
committee.
The first amendment of representative
Moore, of Pennsylvania, proposing
a tax of $3 a bale on cotton
was defeated on a rising vote, 100 to
28.
Southern members, Representative
Moore said, in discussion of the
war revenue bill, had compelled him
to "make good" on his suggestion to
tax cotton, as a matter of duty.
If any products are "profiteering"
Mr. Moore said, they ought to be
taxed.
In a colloquy with Representative
Hoflin, of Alabama, a vigorous opponent
of the cotton proposal, Repreni

member to propose a tax on
iron ore, an important product of
both Alabama and Pennsylvania.
Emphasis was laid again by Representative
Moore on alleged unequal
distribution of tax burdens,
by which northern states bear a
large proportion. 1
The attempt in the house to suspend
the mixed flour law was defeated,
temporarily at least, when the
presiding office sustained the point
of order against the amendment
upon motion of Representative
Moore of Pennsylvania.
An amendment by Representative
Troadway to tax gross receipts from
bill boards, street car, electric signs
and similar advertisements ten per
cent, was disapproved by the committee.

BRITISH CAPTURE
!.!.? 18,008 TURKS
Gen. Allenby's forced in Palestine
have taken IS,000 Turkish prisoners
and have captured 120 guns besides
four airplanes and a large* quantity
of uncounted transports, according
to a London dispatch.
This moans the virtual annihilation
of the Ottoman forces in this
region. The British losses were surprisingly
slight considering the importance
of the advance, says the
official report.
In Palestine the Turks seemingly
are in the process of being crushed;
in Macedonia the Entente forces are
driving' sharp wedges for considerable
distance into the enemy fronts.
In France and Flanders where
there has been no fighting rising in
importance above patrol encounters j
the British, French and American i
troops have kept the upper hand and
advanced their respective lines.
Transcendent interest for the moment,
at least, centers in the operations
of Gen. Allcnby's forces in Palestine.
Here is less than four days (
the British have swept forward in
the center between the River Jordan
and the Mediterranean and taken the
famous town of Nazareth, while
their wings closed round in a swift

Washington. ? The program under
hich the- navy and Hit1 marine corps
will secure the men hereafter needed
v- as announced today by Secretary
Daniels after conferences with representatives
of his department, the
marine corps and the provost marshal
general's office.
The navy is to have an average of
".i'ieen thousand monthly, while the
n rine corps will get five thousand
monthly for four months and one
thousand five hundred each month
thereafter.
Of the navy's allotment of fifteen
thousand it may enlist or enroll men
who have special qualifications for
certain navy work, but the remaindder
will come from "the run of the
!raft," ru.vy officials calling out
^killocl men to meet as far as possible
the special needs of the service.
Men who now hold or may hereafter
be given deferred classification
on account of dependency will be
permitted to enlist in the navy a>
the higher pay given is expected to
' <> away with the possibility of har I
hips to the dependents. Those who
ave had previous service in the
?avy will be permitted to rcenlist. In
u> case, however, not even from the
draft will the navy accept men who
crnnot read, write and speak the
English language, nor will it accep'
men not citizens of the United States
or conscientious objectors.
Much the same system will be folov
ed in enlisting men both in the
avy and marine corps. Naval rc vuiting
stations will be known a
"mobilization centers," each having
i different teviitorv to servo ?ml
key will be established at central
points. Marine corps recruiting of
rices also will be kept open.
Men desiring to enter either hU
lavy or marine corps will be requii
od to make application rt the prop*
recruiting office. When men are acrpted
for the navy the mobilizatio'

SEVEN NAtlONS
JOIN IN ATTACK

Southern Russia.
London. ? Allied forces, involving
the troops of seven nations, are attacking
successfully on five fronts.
They are engaging three of the four
central powers, in addition to the i
Russian Bolsheviki.
The active fronts are in France,
Macedonia, Palestine, Northern Russia
anil .Southern Russia. Fighting!
on the Italian front is still desultory.'
but has increased precipitately within
the last week. There is also activity
in Albania, indicating the pos- j
sibility of the Macedonian drive j
spreading to that region and involving
the Austrians holding the lin<
there.
Fighting on the western front still
centered about the Hindenburg I in
defenses between Cambrai and St. I
Quentin today. The British this mom
ing drove forward on a three mile
front between those two cities, apparently
seeking to capture the important
railway junction of Lccatellet,
one of the bastions of the Hindcn
burg line, and destroy direct comnilini/Mltinn

South of St. Quentin, the French
were pushing eastward from the village
of Benay and gradually shoving
their lines past the city.
German Admission.
The German war office admitted
the loss of Essigny-le-Grand, just
north Benay. It also admitted a
French success between the Aisne
and the Aillette, where the poilous
gained a footing on the high ridge
west of Coucy and south of Anizy-leChateau.
The Americans repulsed two heavy
raids against their right flank on the
Met/, front just west of the Moselle
river this morning.
In Macedonia, the allies are now
pursuing the Bulgarians on a 70
mile front between Mon&stir and
Lake Doiran. An additioal advance
of ten miles was made yesterday resulting
in the capture of ten villages.
The allies are threatening to cue the
Oskup-Salonika railway, which sup-'
plies the Bulgarians in the Lake
Doiran region, and also threatening
the city of Prilip, northeast of Mon-;
astir, Serbian, British, French, Italian
and Greek troops a re engaged in
this drive.
On Other Fronts.
To the westward, Italian fovces
are harassing the Austrian lino in
Albania by raiding operations.
The Anglo-French drive in Palestine,
begun Wednesday, is proceeding
over a front of about 50 miles between
the Mediterranean and the
Jordan river. Reports indicate that
the Turks have been heavily defeated.
Allied forces in Northern Russia
have sunk two additional Bolsheviki

and Murman districts are led by Ger

In Southern Russia, Czecho-Slovak
troops have signally defeated th<>
Bolsheviki near Tsaritsin, on the
west bank of the Volga, about 275
miles from its mouth. The Czechoslovak

Russia now apparently extends from

who are planning to teach and who

It will save much unnecessary

There seems to be some misunderstanding
on the part of trustees
of one-teacher equalizing schools a
to the amount of salary they arc allowed
to receive from the State.
Under the interpretation of the State
Hoard of Education such schools are
only allowed to pay fifty dollars per
month and the State will not be responsible
for more than this amount

cr school is a district that levies an
eight-mill tax for current expenses,
that enrolls not more than fifty nor
less than twenty-five pupils per
teacher, that keeps an average daily
attendance of fifteen pupils per
teacher, that runs seven full months,
and that pays a teacher holding a
first grade certificate not over fifty
dollars per month, a second gratis
forty dollars, and a third grade thirty
dollars per month. Principals of
equalizing schools of two or more
teachers may be paid as much as
seventy-five dollars per month provided
they hold first grade certificates.
This does not mean that
teachers without experience or who
have had no normal training should
receive seventy five dollars per
month. This ruling is necessary
because Horry is limited to $10,000.00
from this source. We 'almost
| reached the limit last year and will
1 be sure to exceed it this year.
| We hear of some trustees paying
| extravagant salaries, such as some
second grade teachers receiving sixty
dollars per month and even third
grade teachers being employed as
principles at sixty dollars. The Horry
County Hoard of Education has
been very lenient in granting certificates
especially third grades.
Something is wrong and radically
wrong when a pupil finishes the .-eventh
grade and can't make a second
grade certificate or where he has
finished the eighth grade and cannot
make a first grade. When can
we hope for conditions to change or
for our schools to do better work if
I l
we continue to give insufficient
teachers higher and higher salaries?
Trustees are responsible to the State
and to the people for the expenditure
of the funds entrusted to their
care. At the same time we are glad j
for efficient teachers and teachers
who are trying to make themselves
more efficient to be paid better salaries.
Schools still without teachers
should write to the County Superintendent
at once giving date of opening
salary etc., and he will do his
best to secure teachers for them. He
will be glad to have every teacher
in the county and every school board
that have made any arrangements
to notify him of their plans. We believe
we can secure teachers outside
of the county for all our schools but
have delayed doing so in order that
Horry County teachers may get
places first. Before employing a!
teacher trustees should make sure |
that she holds a valid certificate.
They should find out the degree of;
the certfiicate. All teachers from
other counties and those of Horry
whose certificates are entitled to renewal
should send them to the County
Superintendent not later than the
I * '
end of the first school month. Application
for State aid cannot be
made unless this condition is met.
Several districts have voted on
more taxes in norder to secure better
teachers and to pay them better
salaries. It is not yet too late for
your district to increase its special
: tax if you act p.t once. "We cannot
! expect competent teachers who have
(had experience and training to remain
in the schools unless they are
paid better salaries.
