Some people are showing a lack of
interest in the movement for a good
road connecting all of the county
towns of the State; and the main
reason why they oppose it is the voting
of bonds to a large amount for
which the State will have to pay. It
is understood that an effort will be
made to get the bonds voted, if possible,
and to provide by law* that the
: interest as well as the principal on
the bonds shall be paid by an extra
tax on automobiles.

FLU NOT GONE.
When there is a lull in the flu
epidemic it should not cause the
people to relax their efforts at
taking care of themselves and striving
to be prepared for an attack.
This was proved before and may be
i
proved again and again before tlmj
hot days of Summer come back to J
this section. I
There arc still cases of it in some |
sections of Horry County, and many j
oilier places in the State. It may j
break out again in some unexpected [
quarter, and those who missed it up j
to then may go down with it. Take j
precautions against it while there is j
time and be prepared to take care of
the sick when it attacks the fani'ly.

SOLDIER'S DISCHAR6E
FULL OF DIFFICULTY
Applied For by Dependent
Families Who Are in Need
of Aid
v.T J \
EXEMPTION BOARDS
ARE NOT CONCERNED
- " ' "
Applications Are Being Made
in Needy Cases to Com
manding Officers.
There is a lack of understanding
on the part of the people as to the
early discharge of soldiers. We are
speaking especially about those who
did not go to France but were at
some of the camps in this country
when the armistice was signed, or
were perhaps on the way to France
and were stopped. Many people
seemed to think that the Local Exemption
Board could aid them in
getting discharges and many applied
to members of the board only to find
that the Board no longer has anything
to do especially in regard to
discharges.
It is understood that it would be
impossible to discharge all of the
soldiers at the camps at one time because
demobilization must be done
gradually, and the necessary military
work of winding up matters after the
war must be alttended to as well as a
large force Uecpt in readiness for
eventualities; but in particular cases
where the soldiers are needed at
home to prepare for agricultural oporations,
or to take care of aged or
helpless dependents, applications are
made to the commanding officers of
the soldiers by means of Affidavits
ai 1 Certificates showing the conditions
at home, and these applications
when approved by the Commanding
Officer usually result in getting a
discharge for the soldier without
\'( ry much delay.

Inflated prices of things at this
time tend to keep up confusion in
the minds of business men as to
just what profits they are making by
the operation.
