BOURGEOISIE HOPE ; TO WIN IN GERMANY Bending Every Effort to Carry the Election Next Week RADICAL OUTBREAK HELPED MODERATES Women Taking Active Part in Campaign in Berlin. Berlin.?With the elections to the national assembly loss than four days off, the bourgeois parties are bending every effort to rally both male and female voters in a gigantie prot? st against Bolshevik ism. Two weeks ago the indications pointed to a comfortable majoiity for the social democrats wit!- the aid of the votes of both the Scheidemann and the Haase party. The Spartacan hullition in Berlin, however, has brought about a revision of the election estimates, the revised view being strengthened by the results of the local elections in Bavaria, Baden. , Wurttemburg and elsewhere. It now is considered highly doubt ful if the radicals jointly poll more than 45 per cent of the total vote with the chances it may bo consider- ' ably less. T^e bourgeois German | democratic party, according to the j estimates, is likely to poll 15 per cent and possibly more. The clericals and conservatives are being allowed 30 per cent in the figuring 4U/% nnfliltnvnlc niMV V Illlt" uir I ui inn Mouuiiui u wtui.- | pot a scanty 10 per cent,. The women of Berlin are carrying or. an active campaign. They are j keenly alive to the issues and appear to bo taking to their now fran- j cliise privilege with a spirit of understanding. Their votes probably will be overwhelmingly in favor of the socialist and borgeoise democrat tickets. The government is making extensive preparations to protect the polling booths during the voting next Sunday. Outside of Berlin the only disturbances arc expected to in Posen, where the Poles are in authority, according to the official view here. It is now expected it will be possible to get any definite idea of the result of the balloting before the middle of next week, because of badly interrupted communications. The -former conservatives are entering the contest as the German national party, while the clericals have become the Christian People's party. The national liberals are returning with the label of German I cople's Party, while the former progressives, national liberals and the unattached bourgeois liberals arc rallying around the German democratic party's banner. The independt nt socialists enter the elections in a badly disorganized condition, while the Scheidcmann party, or majority l.iw, Ililrt i solidified during the past ton days. I The communistic party, which is the polite name for the Spartican Bolsheviki, is not officially taking any pail in the election. The Psalm of All the Allies "I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart. I will speak of all Thy marvelous works. "I will be glad and rejoice in Thee: Yea, my songs will I make of Thy name O, Thou Most Highest. "While mine enemies are driven back: they shall fall and perish at Thy presence. "For Thou has maintained my right and my cause; they art sot in the throne and juxlgest right. "Thou has rebuked* the heathen and destroyed the ungodly; thou has put out their name for ever and ever.

In the year 1918, the department placed over 8,000,000 men and women in essential war work. The rlonnrtmrnt i? now -find. ing jobs for these war workers at the rate of 100,000 a week and applications for jobs are going in at the rate of 140,000 a week. The depart mcnt says that it cannot hope to keep this up without the active cooperation of every State, County, and every community from New York to the smallest Hamlet, as well as every individual man and woman in th' country. The department also needs a lot of publicity to let the people know the necessity of aiding them in this work. The Herald will publish from time to time all articles that will give information to the people and will join the Department of Labor by asking every man and woman in Horry County to lend their aid in this matter. o PRESIDENT NEEDS MANY MORE TRUNKS Paris.?President and Mrs. Wilson came to Paris with a very modest collection of trunks and personal baggage, but they probably will be forced to take home a carload. Roth have received so many gifts in Paris. England and Italy that a large quantity probably will have to be taken home on an army transport. Gifts of all kinds and of all values began pouring in the day President Wilson arrived, and they still are GOOD I Full Car A 9 ?

Many of the presents are priceless, but the President values most those having a sentimental appeal. These have come principaly froip children, net only in France, but from all over Kurope, and also from families in Entente countries which have suffered by the war. President Wilson has directed that every one should be favorably acknowledged. Sometimes, in response to a particularly touching message accompanying the gifts, he writes a personal acknowledgement, but th^ pressure on his time is so great that lie cannot do so for all. Nevertheless, every gift, no matter how insignificant, is carefully preserved. Many of them undoubtedly will find places in the White House, because the President does not feel that they were given to him wholly personally. o PLAN FOR FEEDING EUROPEDISCUSSEG 'Paris.?Further consideration of ihe problem of provisioning Europe tnl.'rin nt\ l\v cmtwnmn .wMin_ cil of supply and relief, after it-? members had returned from the armistice conference at Treves late last week, according to the council's ofticial statement. A permanent committee was appointed by the council, and this committee was called together yesterday for its first meeting. The council's statement reads: "The supreme council of supply and relief resumed its deliberations on Saturday upon the return of their delegates from Treves. The Earl of Reading presided. The council considered the results of the negotiations of the preceding days at Treves, especially the agreement reached for the handing over of the German mer chant marine. Thev continued the examination of the financial problems involved in reprovisioning Europe. They had before them informa tion supplied by the commander in chief of the Allied forces in eastern Europe as to the needs and resources of the territories in that sphere.

At the same time committees will be engaged on general supply measures and in social hearings and investigations.

' i fm .< ;i( 1 A I - i WILLIAM DESERTED ' BY OLD SERVANTS Trials of Life in Dutch Exile Too Much for Them?Kaiser Irritable and III. Amerongen, Holland.?Ex-Emperor William Hohenzollern is becoming increasingly irritable under unac customed restrictions, and this feeling is augmented by the gradual departure of many of his old servants, who find life in Holland under the circumstances unbearable. Dutch domestics, who are filling their places, do not attain the same perfection of obeisance as the imperial servants who, for years, were accustomed to foresee the requirements of their sovereign. It is probable that before many weeks the entire German personnel will have disappeared, and the former monarch, who never could do any simple thing for himself in the way of dressing, will be cast on his own resources. I The immediate cause of his repeat ee chills is according to'authoritative miui iiiuuun, tiviTiit'uung wnne performing1 his favorite exercise of sawing and chopping wood. Damp Climate Affected Him. The former ex-Emperor was accustomed to this work before the war, and when he was informed that his walks in the neighboring woods called for the services of too many guards in order to prevent his being pestered by various spectators, and perhaps also molestation of a more serious nature, William decided to resume his old pastime within the castle precincts. Among the great piles of baggage brough tacross the frontier for his use was a case of tools, weighing 400 pounds. This was unpacked, and the ex-Emperor began work with his usual energy, occasionally increasing his labors in an effort to forget the terrible worry connected with his abdication and the '.nnpl?te change in his position.

The work caused him to perspire freely and, while passing through a corridor of the castle, a strong draught struck him, causing the first serious chill, which confined him to his bedroom for several days. Prof. Lanz of Berlin attended him throughout. "When he had partly recovered he again started in on the heavy manual work and suffered a relapse which meant a further period of con finement. Late last week he showed improvement, and as the weather was fine he began this time work within the castle grounds, which included the digging of an irrigation channel in the flower garden. The result was a renewed chill and a further sojourn in his apartment, where he has been ordered to remain for ' the present. Wife Runs the Medicine Case. The former Kaiser's freedom of movement is not only restricted by the state of his health, but also by the Dutch authorities, who, besides watching over his personal security, stepped in to prevent him from ren r? At iiiwi"k w vuumi ? uecKiur s casue ai Belmont, near Wageningen, which they declared was unsuitcd. His recent ailments have had a marked effect on his physical and mental condition, which is small won der, when such a man has had to surrender to an aTray of salves for the car and nose, gargles for the throat, pills and other medicines. At various hours of the day he is compelled to take something or other of this kind, and his wife, who acts as his nurse, is always in attendance to see that he executes the physician's orders. Frou Hohenzollem is now fairly in good health and goes out occasionally to tea. m NOTICE OF LOST CERTIFICATE Notice is given that time deposit certificate No. 986 issued by Bank of Loris to Mrs. Amanda Harding j for the sum of $40.00, dated August j 10th, 1917; has been lost by the I holder thereof and all persons ai\ hereby notified and warned no! if purchase or deal with the said cer itificate but to return the same a once to the Bank of Loris, Lori i South Carolina.

I I ______ " ??? ??? * SAILORS MADE LOVE TO SCOTCH LASSIES 1 Uncle Sam still has time to be sen- < timentai, especially as concerns the I brides whom American sailors aiul soldiers have taken in foreign coufftries. Good old Uncle Sam is doing everything in his power to help these brides to reach America. But he has encountered a \&riety among foreign , alliances?known as the Scotch law j marriage?which, temporarily, is t disturbing his tranquility, and mak- ] ing him dubious. | * While the American fleet was in Scotch waters many American sail- ' ers during their shore leave became very popular with the lassies. More than one hundred of these young .women have now declared b?K}re American Consuls 1hat the sailors, under the influence of beauty and the moonlight, became most eloquent ly loving. These girls h{^.c called* witnesses who heard the sailors' pro-J testations of undying affection. The "brides" claim that according to the1 "Scotch law" they are really and * truly married. Uncle Sum, benevolent as he is, is / not convinced of this. The r 'gut.? meats advanced by the Scotch *< Is have not interested him so far. Besides, these eleventh-hour claims ion\e closely on the heels of published accounts of how handsomely the foreign wives of American sailors and soldiers are being treated by their government. It is suspected ^ too that some of these Scotch young women are more interested in reaching America than in the former objects of their affections. o WESTBURY CLOSING DEAL. E. L. Westbury is taking steps to close bis deal for the purchase of the Will A. Freeman farm at Hardee's Ferry about three miles from Conway. Mr. Westbury purchased an option on this farm some weeks ago. He will take up the option and deeds have been drawn to transfer the property. This farm is one of the finest and best improved in this section of South Carolina. Mr. Freeman pur- ^ chased the place from W. Press Hardee and Martha Hardee several years ago and since he acquired the property he has made many and permanent improvemnts to it.

The death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Hardee January 16th, 1919, and took from them i the little one that was so near and dear to them, but the good I^ord saw l best and called little Annie Lee to ^ rest. We don't know why the good Lord took the only child from the father and mother, but we hope and pray that our loss is her etefrnal gain. Little Annie I^ee was about ten months old and was a bright child. The little baby was only sick : about twelve days. It took sick with : influenza and then pneumonia, :jan<i with all of the pood nursing I father and mother. relatives and.*- ^ friends and I)r. Richardson of Doris ^ 1 could t,r> the little one passed away, ) but, the good DoH knew best. We - hope that the bereaved parents can t only feel and realize that the little , Rabo is asleep in Jesus' arms, and '/ we can sympathize with Mr. and * Mrs. Hardee, but when we tufaWto 1 think we can only say that little Annie Dee is at rest. The child was buried the same day in the Carter cemetery, there to await the resurrection day. ?Geo. W. Cause.
