An all-day singing wvill be held at ('io'd c'hurch the second Sunday in Ju mne. A'll invited to alttendl with song books and thle well-known well tilled See 'l'hoe Ron fi nti fm- 1Ntintf.in n This seqtion w leiti by a heavy wind and rainstorm on last Thutaday evening,, the 9th inst., Which washed the land pretty badly in places. Early planted cotton is up to a good stand and as a general thing is looking well. Most of the corn in this section has been and will be planted late. Small gra is looking fairly well. The prospects for a fruit crop is good, which is something unusual, to have two good fruit crops together, as last year was a good fruit year. It certainly is a blessed thing in tryirng times like now. People have begun to "feel it," and war has not been going on but a short time, but what will it be in three or four years from now if tho war continues? It behooves everybody to economize, deny themselves of pleas ures and luxuries to a certain extent, take advantage of everything they can save that is growing and is made, and by so doing they are not only helping themselves but are helping to win the greatest war the world has ever known. Our destiny is now at stake, and a man or woman who would not try to save their household effects if their home was on fire, provided it lay in his or her power to do so, deserves no help or sympathy at the hands of their neigh bors. When this great struggle is over some will say "we gained the victory," when on their part it will be a case of "Betsy and the bear." If the writer knew this evening that Germany would be the conqueror in this great struggle we had rather be laid in some cemetery with each member of our little family beside us than to see that day. If it comes to that and we are not either murdered by the brutes or our homes broken up and our happiness destroyed we will see our children have to asso ciate and marry among the lowest down class of people on God's green earth. A man that would be a slacker in a time like this would be too cowardly to raise his hand against a negro rapist though it be his wife or daughter. While the writer is unable to shoulder a gun and go to France, if Uncle Sam has any place either in the United States or across the water that he can use us to help in any way to gain this victory, we are ready to leave our wife and little children and go. We had rather die and save their honor and virtue than to live and see it destroyed. When we think of the way the brutish fiends are treating women and children (if all reports be true) our pulse get above normal and our blood rises to a feverish heat. We have been requested to announce that there will be memorial service at Golden Creek church on the 4th Sunday in May. The late Rev. T. F. Nelson has preached the memorial sermon at this church on the 4th Sunday in May for the past three years, and as he has passed the silent river and is now en joying some of the fruits of his labor, by srpeeial request his son, Rev. U. W. Nelson, will preach the memorial ser mon this time at 11 a. n. All lovers andI leaders of mSusic as well as the p)ub lic at large are cordially invited to come and bring well lilled baskets, as the rest of the day will be spent in praising God with song service. Very likely there will be a talk or two in the afternoon by some brother.

CRAIG, IYIIOEPTION Meatless Days Will Not Be Inaugurated at Present if Economy in Eating Meat is Practiced, Says Food Admin. instration. Columbia.-The Food Administra tion is extremely desirous of securing economy in the consumption of all kinds of meats without the reinstal lation of meatless days at the present. The seasonal decline in the volume of animals coming to market is now in progress and its volume will un doubtedly further decrease during the next few months, as is usual, but the probable amount of such decrease is yet obscure, says the Food Adminis tration. A statement given out here today, by William Elliott, Food Administra tor for South Carohua, and signed by Herbert Hoover, says: "The necessities for shipment abroad to our army and allies are very large and amount to roughly 75,000, 000 pounds of meat and meat prod ucts of all kinds per week against a pre-war normal of less than 15,000,000 pounds. Even with these large ship ments the allies have found it neces sary to reduce consumption of all kinds of meats and put it to an average of about one and one-quarter pounds per week per person in order that no further draft may be made upon ship. ping that is now required for the transport of our soldiers. "Our consumption of meats is about three and one-quarter pounds per week per person, and if we are to make both ends balance (luring the short marketing season, we must have further economy. - "If the public will continue rigor. ous elimination of waste and will fur ther economize by reducing the quan tity prepared for each meal of all kinds of moats and poultry, more par ticularly beef, and will restrict their purchases accordingly, the Food Ad ministration hopes that the necessary balance can he maintained. A general adherence to these recommendations will avoid the inconvenience which arises in many directions from meat less days and will cause less interfer ence in the daily preparation of food." WHEAT SITUATION SERIOUS PROBLEM Poople Asked to Give Up Eating Wheat Broad Until After Next Harvest. Columbia.-The wheat situation is the most serious in the food supply of the Allied world. This word comes from Washington to the Food Administration at Colum bia. The statement continues: "Our harvest was less than esti mated; needs of the Allies are greater than were calculated; losses by sea and by battle have been heavier than were anticipated; less comes from the Argentine than had been hoped; tens er demands on shipping space restrict ships more than ever to the shortest haul and the tightest bulk." Until the next harvest the crisis will not have been passed. The call is therefore issued that all who can and all who will go without wheat-give up wheat bread entirely--until the next harvest, as the club wvomen or South Carolina have pledged them selves to do; that those wvho do not go on an entirely wvheatless ration cut down the consumption of wheat by at least one-half, and that households keep within a weekly allowance for each person of one and one-half pounds of flour and all other wheat products. SUGAR CERTIFICATES IN GROCERS' HANDS Columbia.-Grocers throughout the State are now being supplied with blank certificates, upon the signing of which persons desiring sugar for can ning and preserving may obtain the same. The grocers are being supplied with these certificates by the county food administrators, who are in turn supplied by the State administrator. The certificate system is used to make sure that home canners may ob tain sufficient sugar- to preserve per ishable fruits and at the same time to place a check upon those who would endeavor to obtain unreasonable quan tities for household consumption. THE IRISH POTATO BECOMES WAR RATION Columbia.-"Did you eat a potato Rith your breakfast?" Trhis is the question that the Food Administration is asking 'M every per son in South Carolina. Hlapsburg Liebs says that the home ly Irish potato has cut, is cutting and iwili continue to cut almost as great a figure in this world war as the sub marine. In Germany, it is said, potatoes have been planted even between the ties of railroad tracks. Potatoes have kept the people of Germany alive. Probably Germany would have caved in except for the potato. The argument is put forth by the 'Food Administration that if the po tato will work for Germany, it will ~likewfise work against Germany; and ~considering that food -0.win the war, there is 'a oarticle of Icod that may be prepared in so many ways as the potato. , o1be a t@ cw*e b~tarr ! tI , M that I5s .ba'Costtonal Catrrhl' esness Is caused by as a-.''' flamed condition of the mucous linIg of the -ustaohian Tube.
