Those who heard the young men of the high school debate the question: j "Is Wilson's Policy of Conscription a * Wise One," were well repaid for the r timo it consumed to attend. These young fellows debated the question s both pro and con and showed a thorough grasp of the subpect. This de- I bating society of the high school is one of the best things in the school. c It cultivates independent thought and J stimulates the cultivation of the powr ers of public speech in a high degree, y There are so many stirring and . fearsome incidents of the present great war that one's mind becomes s confused and fails to keep pace with the might yevents. And we are prone to forget that the daily tasks are af- j ter all just as necessary and more c necessary now than ever before. Our > country needs plodders, earnest work- ^ ers. faithful men and women in everv * ? J I waHv in life now more than ever be- 1 fore. And through it all there must ? be the spirit of hope. The pessimist f is of as little use now as he was in times of peace, and he is now far * more dangerous. s > m . s j This humble scribe has planted ^ beans the fifth time this season, and J now the editor's prospects are fine. ^ From beans loaded with fruit to beans j not yet out of the ground?we feel quite secure. Every time it rains, ' g another row is planted. If the bacon stops anywhere around fifty cents a t pound, we feel that everything is all r right. A small chunk of meat goes a r long way for boiling purposes. s . . ^ There is every likelihood that peo- j. pie generally will invest in Liberty Bonds. This is one way that those ' r who cannot go to the front can, never- s theless, show their patriotism and ( help win the war. The number of ' I* men and women who could buy at ^ least a fifty dollar bond is enormous. I And it will be best that this debt of ^ the government be carried by the many and not the few. As we under- * stand the matter, the banks of the e county will help yo?, if you need help, b in purchasing your bond, and you can ^ pay foh it in weekly instalments. True, a everything is high, and everybody C s seems a bit nervous. But we believe it to be a duty we owe our govern- > ment in this time of stress to invest b something in Liberty Bonds. * LOOK AFTER THIS. 1 June the fifth, Tuesday of next ^ week, is the day appointed by the b federal government, for registering. c All males, of whartever race, between ^ the ages of 21 and 81, are called upon \ to pro to their home precinct, and be ^ registered. The registration books j will be open from 7 a. m. to 9 p. m. t< It is not optional. All men between ^ the apes specified, must register. You jj must appear in peraon, and failure t< io register is punishable by imprison- v 01 men*. To aid one to evade the law J is also equally punishable. This is li the federal government's demand and ,r it will not be wise to evade the law. There are many who may not have 2! been informed upon the question. Let ( everybody with knowledge of the law's demand, help carry the message ^ to those unmfertned. CONFERENCE HELD.

I CROSS KEYS Cross Keys, May 30.?The severe ? hail storm, followed by heavy rains, - that visited our section last week has damaged the crops considerably, poor \ stands being almost everywhere. . "How's your crop?" and "What's the war news?" is about all you can hear, i, These two subjects are about the gen eral run of conversation, I suppose i. everywhere.

JACKSON. Joe H. Jackson died at Fort RinpJ pold, Texas, on the 5th instant, in the nineteenth year of his ape. He was , a member of Company "H", 25t,h Repiment U. S. Infantry. He enlisted | in Spartanburp and was sent to Fort j Screven, Ga. From there his repiment was ordered to Fort Rinppold, Texas, for duty, where he died a very short while after their arrival there. His remains were sent home to his . parents at Cross Keys by the eovern i ment and arrived here on the 13th r instant. On the next day after the . arrival of his remains, he was laid to i rest in his native soil at the New . Hope Baptist church cemetery at I Cross Anchor, of which church he was a member, in the presence of many > of his sorrowing friends and relatives, 1 the funeral services being conducted . by the Revs. Smith, his pastor, and , Williams of the Methodist church. Joe must have been a model soldier. , The author of this notice being a Con: federate Veteran, had the privilege o? ! reading several of his letters to his parents, in which he was enthusiastic in his liking of camp life and its en vh-onments. He spoke very highly of ; his officers and their kindness and regard for the men under their oomI mand. The deceased soldier was a son o? i Mr. and Mrs. William T. Jackson of Cross Keys township, Mr. Jackson having been a gallant Confederate soldier, his son was following in his patriotic footsteps. Besides hrs father and mother he leaves several brothers and sisters, and a host of otW relatives to mourn his early death, all of whom have the sincere sympathy of the entire community. The a*ed parents lose a levin* son, the country a valiant saldier. K Cross Keys, S. C., May, 1M7. SCHOOL CHILDREN TO PARADE.

Many farmers have already planted a considerable amount of cotton land over a second time and no doubt but for the lack of cotton seed a small percentage of cotton land will be planted in corn and peas. The wheat crop has been reduced to a certain extent by a poor prospect for a crop and the land was ploughed up and planted in other crops. Although there is some extra fine wheat in some sections of the county. The time has arrived when the nation's most cherished prospects for the future as a "nation builder" must step out and retain a nation's honor and defend her cause. Yea. men of integrity, men who can be relied upon. Men who have not soilght adventure or to gain notoriety by selfish motives but rather men who love home and community and everything in general that constitutes morality which is the upkeep of civilization. Such men as these already know what the word yrtT implies and therefore the results will be effective when they march to the front and face the firing line then, a thought of loved ones back at home, their determination will be to win or die in the attempt. The following program will be rendered on Friday, June 8th, by the Calhoun literary society at Oakland school house: Debate, "Resolved, that boys and girls should not attend the same school together."
