Germany lived on high hopes for a long time. o He who steals your time is as big a thief as anybody. o Time waits for nothing at all and thus teaches a great lesson to mankind. o The people of this country are not looking for any more gaslcss Sundays. ??o Clearing new land for cultivation is considered a lasting improvement t-"> any farm. o There is one thing about which there is no regret and that is the fuelless Mondays of last Winter. ?o One way in which we must pay for the war will be the high cost of living for no telling how long. o The war is over and the armistice signed; peace terms are in sight; but still there are hard things to fight. O The right kind of preparations for a good crop is what the farmers should be attending to every day now. o The weather has been very cold recently and caused many to long for the hot days of Summer. When the latter comes along they will then no doubt wish back to the cold days that are passing. The man who tries to make a mouii tain out of a mole hill will stop you and talk to you for hours about nothing. lie is among the nuisances that the European war failed to put out of business. Tt will not do for the farmers of this country to try to raise big money crops to the injury of the supply crops that thoy will surely need. Any farmer is a fool who will do that. n One great thing that should be j done without delay is to stamp ouc the I. W. W., the Russian Bolshcviki in all its branches, and together with other organizations which apparently have the same things in view. Put all these down forever. o SUPREME COUNCIL DEALS WITH FOOD l,ondon.?-The associated governments have decided to establish a supreme council, consisting of two representatives each of France, Italy, tbe United States and Great Britain, aocording to an official tonight, to deal with the questions of food, finance and shipping resources with relation to revictualir.g and supplying liberated and enemy territory and to coordinate such work with that don for allied and neutrol countries. BUCK DISTRIBUTOR MAKES STATEMENT I I >J J An interview with Mr. H. L. Buck, of the Buck Motor Company, local | Buick distributor, makes certain that | the purchaser of a Buick car between now and the end of the 1019 season is not running any chance that the price will be subject to fur-: ther change-during that period. "I have just received a letter fjrom the Home Office," v said Mr.* B|ack, "containing the revised price schedule effective January first, 1919, covering the various Buick ran dels ( during the remainder of the season. Four models have been reduced in price and the other two remain unA. 1 1 WUt'Ilt'U, 1 "There has been considerable-1 speculation as to what the Buick Motor Company was going' to do about the prices of their cars, as the ( close of the war left things in such an uncertain condition regarding ?the price and quantities of raw material available that a good many people felt it would be impossible for the really big manufacturers to find their bearings for some time to come, "This prompt action on the part of the Company shows that they have l>oen able to clear the situation up sooner than anybody expected, and I for one I am delighted with the announcement so early in the season. "Their war orders which have * ? r* i # ucen demanding' tno major part or their energies have been completed and the announcement of the present prices is evidence that the Buick Motor Company now has a measure of the situation and sufficient material is in sight that will permit laying out a definite building schedule which again proves the buyer of a Buick automobile is at all times protected against unwarranted price changes. "Buick enthusiasts appreciate the importance of this announcement, because all uncertainty has now been1 removed, both as to the possibility of the prices being raised or lowered.*' o HORRY INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL NOTES. Dr. W. A. Kirby, of Hampton, attracted by the .advantages of the Industrial School, made a cross country trip to Horry the past week with a view to locating in this promising community.

Amerongen, Holland.?The former German Emperor has apparently shaken off the effects of his recent j iliness and was able to join the family circle of the von Bentincks Thurs- [ day. He did not venture into the open air, however. The Khine is rising rapidly, and in its lower reaches has overflown its banks, covering scores of square miles. The low-lying meadow land around Amerongen Castle now looks like an immense sea. The water runs directly to the foot of the castle^ wans. ? 5 TRESPASS NOTICE.

Hansot RELIEF NEEDED IN THE NEAR EAST To the Citizens of Horry County: America is now raising a fund of ?.10,000,000 for the relief of sufferers 1 in the Near East?principally Armenians and Syrians. South Carolina has been allotted $b00,000 of this amount, our County is asked to contribute the sum of $2,000. Four million human beiners are destitute and suffering for the lack Of food and clothing. 400,000 of these are orphans made homeless as a result of the war and from massacres by the savage Turks. The cries coming to us from these Christian people should-appeal to u as a Christian nation, and our response should be liberal. The campaign has the strong indorsement of President Wilson, Secretary Lansing, Dr. John It. Mott, and all the leading statesmen, a^ well as the: Ministers and Missionary leaders of our country. Horry has not failed to respond to any of the demands yet made upon us. Shall we fail to do our duty in this great humanitarian cause for the relief of our suffering neighbors across the waters ? We will not be able to make an act ice speaking* campaign through the county, owing to the health authorities forbidding public gatherings. We will have to rely upon the individual efforts of all our people to make this campaign a success. ^ We would" ask Pastors, S. S. Superintendents, and local Chairmen of Councils of Defense to take this matter up not later than Sunday the 19th of January, and get subscriptions in their respective communities. | Cards will he mailed to the Chair- ' men of the Councils of Defense. I' When tue pledges are secured, kindly 1 mail them in to Col. Chas. J. Epps, Troas., at Conway. I The minimum amount for each j Council will be $20. Of course many i will bo expected to raise considerable j more in order to get the quota. Horry must raise this small amount and thus maintain our record. D. A. Spivey, Official: Chairman. E. S. C.

Washington.?Statutes of "dry" States permitting persons to im- i port or personally bring in limited amounts of intoxicants for their own Us>e were in effedt nullified by the 1 socalled Reed "bone dry" amendment enacted by congress, the supreme ( court held today in an opinion rover- ; sing the federal court for the South- ' era district of West Virginia.

The case came up on an appeal of j the government from the lower court' decision dismissing proceeds brought ; against Dan Hill for carrying a I quart of liquor into West Virginia | for his personal use as permitted by , the State law. The court held that! such transportation did not come, within the meaning of the Reed; amendment which, it held, was in- j tended to apply only to actual shipments of liquor. The supreme court remanded the case for retrial. o Empty heads contain a lot of useless information. TO FIGHT INFLUENZA.

As was announce*! la^t week there will be a special teachers' examination Saturday, the eighteenth. All t* achers who have rot secured certificates to teach this year should avail themselves of this opportunity. Remember the place and date, Burroughs School Building, Saturday, January eighteenth, at nine-thirty. The State Superintendent has just s< nt out letters to all superintendents containing the following paragraph : "Rural Graded Schools, disqualified for state aid by the ifluenza epidemic, ought to be protected by the Legislature. This protection is necessary. Please discuss the facts with your dclogatoin." You will see from the above that the State and County Superintendents are doing all that they can to help the schools if they fail to make the average attendance required un dor the law. We are travelling thi; week in the section of the county most effected by influenza in order to help the trustees and patrons solve their difficulties. There have hern many discouragements for our schools this year but we cannot af ford to give up. Other counties have been affected as seriously as we.
