SELECTIVE SERVICE?JUNE 5 There is quite a k? >od deal of nonsense jjoinn the rounds about this draft and volunteer business. We hear people complaining at the prospect of being drafted as though it were a reproach. To all who hold such opinions we would refer to the lofty utterance of our illustrious President. The services of every man, woman and child in the nation are not only expected in this crisis, they are demanded. The demand is inexorable. All must serve, just as in peace time ALL must bear their share of taxes in one form or another. Some are tilted to serve in one field, some in another. Some must serve on the farms, some in the schools, some in the factories and some must shoulder arms, and backed by those at home, go to the front. To be called to fight is a higher honor than to be called to grow foods All must and will make some sacrifices but he who is called to make the greatest sacrifice is the recipient of special honor. in <>r<icr max no wnoie ninenine may be effective it is important that those competent to judjre shall say who's lit to jjo to the front ami who must remain at home. Hut let our President speak: "It is a new tiling in our history ami a landmark in our progress. It is a new manner of accepting and vitali/.'nir our duty, l<> .wive ourselves with thoughtful devotion to the common purpose of us all. It is in no sense a conscription of the unwillinjr: it is r^VYibr, selection from a nation wrtich has volunteered in mass. It is no more a ehoosinjr of those who shall march with the colors than it is a se lection of those who shall serve ai equally necessary and devoted pur pose in the industries that lie behind the battle line. "The day here mimed (June .*>) is the time upon which all shall present themselves for assignment to their tasks. It is for that reason destined to lie rcmcml ? n d as one of the most conspicuous moments in our history It is nothing less than the day upon ?n;,.n in.. n,....i ..r in shall stt-p f?>r\v:tr? 1 n <in<> solid rank in defense of the ideals to which the nation is consecrated." NEWS FROM OLD KENTUCKY. A Louisville paper had a <;uar;ei pa ye advertisement he:.d?*d in biy black type: "Sunday Ciosiny Law Must be Obeyed. \ it referred to the closing of saloons on Sunday \v< supposed the Kentu i.y prohibitionists were yet tin' bu.-y.

After pondering the matter a few minutes and wondcriny what "a chanye bad come over the Spirit of the dreams" of the liquor men, the explanation came in these old lines from Rabelais: "The Devil was sick?the Devil a monk would be The Devil was well?the Devil a monk was he." The liquor men are pretty sic':, just now. The report come.- from London that there is yood reason to believe that the German submarines are about to be curled. A new method is being used am! said to la- <;11it< successful in .-"op;, a" the d' ldly work of the submarine.-. 'I here is a fleet of American warships on the other side. That may account f<>r the improved condition.-. N'ot satisfied with the destruction of Belgium homes, the fiermaris confiscated the steamers bearir.tr food to the starving Belgians. In some cases the ysent tin- reli-f steamer- to the bottom of the sea and in others took the ship and contents to their own ports. With nearly all the world opposing hint the Kaiser is 111 the position of the juryman who ssiid the jury couldn't agree because there were eleven contrary men against him. It is said that England's war expenses average thirty-seven million dollars daily. If some of us editors had that much expense daily it would almost break us up, wouldn't it now? The people are gradually getting the right perspective- that they should own war bonds. It is not so mueh a question of buying and sellbu' i^r. ^^hegreater the '48 oj[o Vl w - v.':' Tflflk \ W)> 'ri^jrr ..^kpat NEXT TUESDAY? JUNE 5TH Next Tuesday, June 5th, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. the whole young manhood of South Carolina, rich and poor, white and black, will be registered for the service of the nation in time of war. Of all essentials connected with this registration, the most notable for South Carolina is that it be full and complete. Every man in South Carolina who has passed his 21st birthday but not his 3lst, by June 5 ; inst register. Who shall "willfully tail or refuse to present himself for registration," in the language of the >tatutc, "shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction in the district court of the United States, having jurisdiction thereof, be punished by imprisonment for not more than one year and shall thereupon be duly registered." I- urthermore, every person within the age limits "shall be deemed to lave notice ?f ? ?: * ?- %hv icifuircmenis or ihi ?nct upon the publication of said proclamation or other notice a* aforesaid given by the President or by his direction." In other words, the responsibility is on each individual. I he proclamation has been issued, and it is the law imposed duty of each man between the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, to see that he is properly registered.. If he fails he is subject to the penalty. In a State like South Carolina, with a great proportion of non-reading population, the difficult point is tc get the requirements before all the people. Every citizen should con I '.idor it his duty to acquaint all th< men of his circle with the necessity for registration. The law applies t< negroes as well as to white men. Th< negroes should be informed. Theii employers, their landlords, the mer chants who supply them, their owr preachers and doctors and tcacheri can do a good work for the State be> Iwccn now and registration day by seeing that every negro between the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, is in formed that it is e?sen?:.-?l io present himself at the registratior booth on Tuesday, June 5th. Th? State. SERIOUS OFFENSE TO OPPOSE LAV Macon, Ga., May 27.-?Evidence lias reached the hands of Unite* States District Attorney Earl M. Don ildson indicating that propagandi antagonistic to the government an* timed to hinder the work of registra lion on June 5, is being waged. The district attorney today issue* the following statement: "During the last few days I hav received complaints to the effect tha certain persons in this State hav been advising men subject to regis ration not to register on June 5 a required by the recent act of con toss, and inquiries have been mad* s to whether there is any law undei .vhich the person so offending coulc e prosecuted. It is well understooc hat all men of military age?that is teLween the ages of 21 and 30, botl nolllsivi' :ir.. ri>iiuir?.?l t.. ... lune a, and failure to do so subject: one to prosecution and a severe tern of imprisonment; but it may not h< enerally known that those mis uided persons, who are counseling ml advising young men of military igc not to register, are placing them elves in a most serious posit ioi herein they arc likely to confront roseeutions and terms of imprison nont. "Rvory man between the ages specled in the act of congress, who does ot register on the f?th of next month, immits an infamous crime, as defied by the law, and every person, ho !>,\ his counsel or advice, induces man not to register who should egister, is equally guilty under the deral law. It is not likely that the uries of the State would look with degree of toleration on traitorous itfenses of this character, and every icrson convicted of such an offense \ 11 receive a prison sentence. Under lie law lie can not be relieved by lying line. "I do not believe that there will e many violations of this act of conre s. The South has always done ts part in war, and its part has al| < ays been done well. Our people are ot of the type that produce slackers; hey will not tolerate a slacker, and ir law will not permit any one by I i i - counsel and advice to induce ?n 'thcr to become a slacker." i IAKD FIGHT AHEAD OF THE UNITED STATES, SAYS GERARD i'biladclphiu, May 2o.?"If Russia aci arms and German submarines ontinue to litter the ocean with .roses of the merchant marine, Utile Sam will have to bear the brunt >f trie threat battle practically alone," 1 dared .lames \V.

"Tanlac is the only remedy that ever helped me and it was just the remedy I needed. I certainly can praise it." declared Mrs. II. E. Moore, of Piedmont, S. C., in a statement she gave in endorsement of Tanlac. I suffered from nervous indigestion for the past several years and very badly during the past two years. I was rapidly Ki'ttinK worse, too, when 1 boKan takinK Tanlac. I was in such bad health that I was miserable all uiu mm:, i was suojeci 10 bad headaches, too, and sleeplessness troubled me a lot. Many a night I've rolled in bed nearly all night.

"Tanlac gave me just the results I wanted. My appetite came back soon ii fine shape, my blood got to circulating well and I have not had one of those smothering spells since I took Tanlac, and I never wake up now with my body numb like I frequently used to do.

I The visiting British high commission - was showered with every honor that i Virginia knows how to bestow, last 1 Friday. One of the features of the - ceremony in the auditorium of the Capitol was Governor Stuart's toast .1 to the king, and Mr. Balfour's reply. Governor Stuart, in his toast to the 0 king, holding aloft a glass of water, t said: e "In this glass I hold that which, by i- the sovereign will of the people of s Virginia, is to-day the wine of the - country, clear as the principles of libi* erty and justice in which we make r common cause, pure as the union of 1 heart and purpose typified by the 1 three flags entwined before us, strong , in that it supplies in this hour the i most vital needs of both statesmen i and soldiers, distilled on the hills ovS erlookine I be linliln Jiimnc /.r? tvVw.o,, 1 banks the first permanent English settlement in the western world was - established, spontaneous as the Rood : will toward our distinguished guests r which springs from our hearts and - our lips; in this and by these tokens i 1 propose the health of his majetsy, t the king of England." Mr. Balfour, responding for the British, said: "1 cannot rival the eloquence with i which our host to-day hsis eulogized the legal wine of the country, but I can with enthusiasm not less sincere ihan his own, propose a toast which has always been dear to the hearts of all Englishmen, but never so dear is now, the President of the United States." 205 GRADUATES AT WINTHROP COLLEGE Rock Hill, May 20.- Winthrop College commencement will take place June to 5.

LIFT YOUR CORNS OFF WITH FINGERS Tells how to looien a tender corn or callus so it lifts out without pain. You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from locwjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authorityto use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn or callus the soreness is relieved and soon the entire , corn or callus, root and all, lifts off ? with the fingers. Freezone dries the moment is is ap- 1 plied, and simply shrivels the corn or s callus without inflaming or even irri- i tating the surrounding tissue or skin. ? A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but will positively rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or hardened j callus. If your druggist hasn't an" | freezone he can get it at any whoU I sale drug house for you. a-Adv. < 1 - ?- - z 4 ' WOMEN'S WOES ^ Chesterfield Women Are Finding Relief at Last. n It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must "keep up," must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching ^ backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over when to stoop means torture. 1 They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Keeping the kidneys well has spared thousands of women much misery. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that is en- i dorsed by people in this locality. Mrs. H. M. Parks, Market St., Lan- j caster, S. C., says: "I ached all over ) and when I sat down, 1 pot so stiff t across my back I could harly stoop and it was hard for me to do my housework. I finally got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and they brought me lasting relief from the backache and fixed my kidneys in pood shape." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't " simply ask for a kidney remedy?

( YOUNG AMERICANS ON THE FIRING LINE IN FRANCE Grand Headquarters, French Army, in France, May 24.?The first American combatant corps went to the , front to-day under Capt. E. I. Tinkaf and Lieut. Scully, of Princeton. Capt. Tinkhaf won the war cross at Verdun. It vas a proud moment when the first detachment of the American field service, consisting mainly of Cornell undergraduates, departed for the Aisne battlefield. They were armed with carbines, attired in khaki uniforms and drove American fiveton motor cars. As they left the ( stars and stripes floated over the cantonment in an historic French forest, and other contingents cheered them ' on their way. The correspondent of the Associated Press watched them drilling in preparation for active participation in the fighting. Among them were detachments from Andover, Dartmouth, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Yale, ' Chicago and Williams colleges, while a large body from Princeton was ( awaiting organization. Lieut. Daly, 1 captain of the Yale football team of 1 1910, and Lieut. William Taylor, of 1 New York, were busy putting one section into shape while Lieut. Kennedy superintended another. French officers and Lieut. J. W. Ostheimer, of Philadelphia, who won his rank in the French army in which he enlisted at the outbreak of the war, have been appointed instructors of the Americans at the central training school. All officers attached to the corps express the utmost satisfac- 1 tion with the men who display readiness to perform any task. They are all strong, young men, many of them civil engineers, and they show an adaptability to meet new circumstances. PEOPLE ARE BEHIND 1 TAXATION FOR WAR Washington, May 27.?Secretary McAdoo, home from a speaking tour of Middle and Central Western cities 1 in the interest of the Liberty loan, 1 declared in a statement tonight that ' the people were behind the adminis- 1 tration's programme of raising ap- ' proximately $1,K00,000,000 for war purposes by taxation. ' "While every one wants the new 5 taxes to be equitably distributed 1 there is a willingness?in fact, eager- ' ness," the secretary said, "to make * the necessary sacrifices to strengthen 1 Lhe government's finances and to sup- 1 port to the utmost the gallant men who are going to the front." r t AS A MAN THINKETH ( A man passes for what he is worth. What he is engraves itself on his face, on his form, on his features, in letters of light. Concealment avails him nothing; boasting nothing. Men know not why they do not trust him; but they do not trust him. His vice glasses his eye, cuts lines of mean expression in his cheek, pinches the nose, and sets the mark* of the beast on the back of the head. If you would not be known to do anything, never do it. A man may play the fool in the drifts of a desert, but every grain of sand shall seem to see. He may be a solitary eater, but he cannot keep his foolish counsel.
