THURSDAY NOV. 7, 1918. f Horry farnieis must help win the War by raising a heavy wheat crop this Winter. o Let Germany begin to figure on what it is going to cost her for each deed of high-handed murder she ha: wrought. -?o-? Now let Germany get ready to begin to pay. Yes, for every poor little French or Belgian girl that she worked into slavery* u The Kaiser yet has a trick up his sleeve is the opinion of many. At last though he is dealing with a /innritiMr militn vv hnml can VA/UII VI t> *? HVOV inaiiVM* j v?-again unmask him. o All of the German notes so faj are but samples of nasty, lying, German scheming and trickery. Careful reading of each is enough to prove this. There is only one answer we can make to them and that is unconditional surrender in one way or another. How can we (foal with such tough-hided and conceited rascals, who already knowing they are whipped to a frazzle, still go on with high-sounding phrases of groat and hypocritical falsehoods that it is yet plain enough to all that there is no atom of sincerity in any of them. REALLY FROM GERMANY. An official of the public health department while in Dillon last week is said to have stated that the influenza germ originated in the poverty stricken districts of Spain. From there it was carried in submarines to Germany, and "contrary to public belief" from Germany the germs were brought to this country by prisoners of war. Whether the above are facts or not it adds just a little to what the editor of this paper has believed all along, which is, that, in one way or another Germany is responsible for the epidemic of influenza which has had this country in its grip for the past several weeks caused hundreds of thousands of deaths !imnn<r fho m ilxt m n 1 i:i I niti'/.onw as well as among the very poor; above all showed up to a moro or less extent the movement of American soldiers and has cost this country, not only many soldier lives but billions of expense money. One thing is sure and that is that the end attained is very much like German schemes, especially in view of the fact that the epidemic came near upsetting-the 4th liberty loan. ' Now and then it has been remarked that the Spanish influenza may have been started by the scattering pf gerrns at the army cantonments by pro-Germans and just as often the idea has been dismissed with the thought that it was impossible. But was it imposiblo? Some months ago readers noticed * news items in the daily papers, showing that this-same influenza was rampant in Spain; also later short uews notes to the effect that the "Flu" had taken the German armies and had considerably lowered the German morale. How natural that German plotters should study some scheme to bring the disease to this country! Germany did not make the germs, no more than she made the iron ore that she has used in munition making. But the disease was in a neu-. tral land, Spain, with which German submarines were in easy touch. The plan was found to take th$ . disease away from Spain in the , auo . ?i 11? u.. _ ? inurincA, (tun iiivu uy iiicane vi prisoners of war who had been made sick with it, successfully planted in this country. The plan has always looked easy and was easy. I have often thought since this outbreak, that the influenza epidemic is among the hardships of the world war in which this country is now engaged and gloriously helping to win. Much bolder things than this were recently accomplished by German trickery, such as the wholesale killing of horses by means of germs of disease and the actual killing of men in the same way. You have seen it published many, many times, that this so-called "Flu" goes 'round anyway about every twenty-five years, that it was 'round in 1890. We have yet to find .anybody who can testify to any such kind of "round" as that which this Country has just now had. There may have been some cases of the disease or grippe, in times past; but there has never been in this country :.n\ epidemic like the one the whole United States is now having; and it .-lever will have again unless some devils like the Germans lay well their plans for bringing- it in. The influensA epidemic will be ome time lii getliilg' over. Those who have had it may take it again. Yt is wise for everybody to be carerul of their health. There may be outbreaks at times throughout the Winter. ^ (let'many |aad as well get ready to pay the price for what she lias done. Let Germany pay for it and no matter if it should take a thousand years to settle the debt. o Get the GenuireTI5j3HP^^?vl and Avoid Every Cake HORRY BOYS' CLUBS TO GATHER SHELLS Bishopville, S. C., Oct. 20, 1918. Dear Club Member: You are already rendering a splendid sorvipo tn vnnr rrmntrv in t.hr* production of corn, wheat and other jcrops; also pigs and calves, which is | so necessary to the material prosperity of our country, and to the winning of the war. Now comes another appeal for service: The Gas Defense Division of the United States Army is very anxiou1 indeed to obtain all shells of black walnuts, butter nuts, hickory nuts, and seeds of such stone fruits as peaches, cherries, prunes, etc., for the purpose of making charcoal to be used in gas masks for our soldiers. You can add another important ser vice to our country by collecting such, stones and seeds as arc wanted by the Gas Defense Division oof the United States Army, and turn them over to your local branch of the Re. I Cross for shipment. In performing this duty you will be engaged in n. small matter, as you may be saving the lives of many of out gallant soldiers (perhaps your own brothel or some other near relative) in protecting them from the deadly fumer of the enemy's gas shells. I am confident that you will respond to this call as heartily as yoi have to those jn the past, remember ing that you are performing a most patriotic work. Yours tor the success of our army, ?L. L. Baker, Supervising Agent of Boys' Club Work. o PARALYSIS CLAIMS LIFE. Marion.?Mrs John G. Godbold oi Marion died at her home in this citj Monday morning, October 21, and waj buried at Rose Hill Cemetery Tues (iay, Dr. Rufus Ford conducting th< services. Mrs. Godbold who was th? wife of John G. Godbold, countj jailer, suffered a stroke of paralysis about a week ago, from which sh< never rallied. Another good womar has gone and her aged husband is re ceiving the sympathy of the com i munity in his loss and sorrow. TOHOHTHPI ESAU AND JACOB. If Esau and Jacob, who lived some six thousand years ago, wore still alive, and if Esau had earned $10 every day, and had saved it all, he would have $21,900,000. On the other hand, if Jacob had deposited one dollar at one per cent interest compounded every 100 years, he would have today $576,460,752,303,423,488. Can anyone figure out. how much Jacob would have had he purchased one $5.00 war savings stamp then, which pays interest at the rate of 4 per cent, compounded quarterly? ? p BIG GUNS BUSY. The big American guns are continuing heavily to shell German positions far behind the lines and bombing planes also are intensively active against troop concentration points. In air fighting the Ameri cans Wednesday sent 21 German aviators flashing to the ground. Two of the American fliers arc missing. On both sides in both Servia and Mesopotamia the allied troops are still harrassing the enemy. Servian cavalry has arrived at the Danube, a short distance southeast of Belgrade. In Mesopotamia the British advance has proceeded 150 miles up the Tigris River from Bagdad. o ?? HOUSES HAVE "FEU" Horses are subject to a sort of influenza, which bears no relation to the disease of the same name which has affected the human family. U is pointed out by specialists of the Department of Agriculture, however, that the influenza to which, horses are subject resembles somewhat the symptoms and course of Spanish influenza in each instance. THBlli GREATEST HOPE. The one and greatest hope of the old guard in Germany, judging from the German papers, appears to be t drive a wedge between President Wilson and the allies and to make the president play the part of mediator, instead of belligerent. HAS NEW SUIT. Governor Manning has been denying himself all luxuries and many comforts during the war, as he has invested so heavily in Liberty bonds, However, he is to have a new suit of clothes. Among the packages delivered a*, his office were eight yards of homo woven woolen jeans cloth from which he will have a suit of the warmest quality tailored at once. The cloth was sent by Lieut. Col. O. R. Doyle of Calhoun, a member of the governor's staff. o I I FISH SCRAP FOR SALE 750 Bags Best Fish Scrap 100 Tons C. S. 7 p. c. Meal 2150 Bu. Fulgrum Seed Oats 2000 Bu Red R. P.

Excessive grazing:, which injures the vegetative cover, will frequently permit erosion to get a start on the range, and valuable pasturage will be changed by the elements to barren land, according tot Bulletin 675, "Range Preservation and Its Relation to Erosion Control on Western Grazing Lands," recently published by the United States Department of Agriculture. It is a case of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. While topography, climate, and soil are factors in determining erosion, the combination of these factors with the vegetative growth is such that erosion is slight where the natural conditions have not been disturbed, and may be made serious by any influence which upsets the balance established by nature. Numerous instances are on rccordd wh^re serious erosion was unknown until the ground cover was largely destroyed, and in localities whore destroyed vegetation has been reestablished serious erosion has been stopped. The reestablishemont of vegetation, tho bulletin points out, is extcrmely difficult. The importance of preserving the upper few inches on the high ranges and with it the vegetative cover, in order to regulate the stream flow, to maintain indefinitely the forage cover for grazing, and incidentally to prevent destructive erosion, is not always fully appreciated by the stockman and farmer. The farmer stockman can not afford to do without feed from the range. The temporary larger profits that might be For Indigestion, Constipation or Biliousness Just try one 50-cent bottle of LAX-FOS .

EE PL/ derived from overgrazing would soon be offset by the loss of the source of feed supply which would result. Small Start Makes Large Loss. Three or four seasons of excessively heavy grazing on a watershed will usually give the elements a chance to start their destructive work. Erosion, with its rush of water and debris, frequently ruins the land where the debris is deposit 1 cd and puts out of commission roads, trails, pow<^- plants, and other improvements. In many localities loss of property from this source has been appalling'. The preventive measures given hi the bulletin are deferred and rotation grazing, artificial seeding (in choice sites only), and proper control and distribution of stock. Where the depletion of the soil and the formation sjof lone-?stablished gullies m II Vo (tinrniwrll ( nvftrt/itofini. . I..viuuhll 1 \ ? tgl'UlllWII | sible, destructive floods and erosion may be control'ed by the total exclusion of stock, by terracing and planting, and by the construction of dams. Much more than half the battle 01 preserving range is preventing erosion from getting started. Where it has full play for a number of years the attempted reestablishment of the ground cover, even though grazing is discontinued, does not' always give adequate results. In such instances, which fortunately are relatively rare in this counrty, extreme measures, such as the combination of terracing and planting, or, in exceptional cases, the construction of dams are justified.
