FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1017.
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.

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. This war is a war of all
- the people; it confronts every one
s alike in America. A war in which wi
are all concerned; every citizert mus1
r do his part, everyone doing the pari
g for which he is belst fitted. Our President's
job just now as manager ol
the American war team is to see thai
i: the right men are put in the righl
> places; that the expert rifle men 01
sharpshooters be not kept on the farm
y or in the factories, or the farmer 01
shop men put in the firing line. Reg
n istration on June 5 will disclose jutrt
where every man belongs, and it wij]
> then be for the manager (President)
to pick his war men and his shop men
and his farm men and his factory men
and to keep them all working in uni>

DEATH OF JOE H. 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.
The children of the city schools will
have a patriotic parade Friday morning.

OAKLAND
Oakland, May 29.?A large acreage
has been planted in cotton this spring
but the prospects are that the yield
will be cut exceedingly short because
of the irregular stand which exists
over the country. 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." Affirmative, Angelle
Belue, Sam Black; negative,
Louise Adams, Athens Belue.
