BY RUSSIANS i Pirot, Serbia, Aug. 6?Aiong one of the most prominent thoroughfares * in the municipality of Pirot today are posted signboards which inform the traveler that he is passing down "America Street." They also are elo- j ^ quent of the Serbians' appreciation of I tons of American flour and carloads c of Red Cross relief supplies which arrived here to succor 60,000 refugees * from Bulgarian prison camps who f were on the verge of starvation. , Since this initial bit of relief work, which won enduring gratitude of the , populace, the Americans have rationed 26,000 additional persons living in more than 100 villages in the vicin- ity of Pirot. The desperate situation of these people was accentuated by ^ ihe demolition by marauding Bulgars ^ of all implements of the rulemaking ? industry for which this district is famous. As the enemy carried away all metal and portable tools, those who follow the mechanical trades also are without employment. Efforts are now being made to re-establish these people in their old pursuits. The number of widows and t-rphans is distressing. It was among these? the most helpless folk left in the awr's wake?that suffering was most acute, but American-relief activities have greatly alleviated .their wants. Vast quantities of food and clothing have been distributed t and every possible step has been tak- j en to restore the refugees to their oldtime callings. RED SPIDER Clemson College, Aug. *1?There have been a few small outbreaks of ed spider in several parts of the state iut as long as the moist Weather lasts -here is no immediate danger of the red spider developing seriously, says ,'rof A. I<\ Ciui rnil i gnhimnlitriiit A < .soon as <lry weather sets in, however the cotton field should be closely watched because the insects may develop rapidly in spots. While the red spider will not be lis serious as last year, the injury will be more pronounced in sonic places owing to the reaction in cotton when the rainy .veather suddenly stops and dry and not weather follows. Just as soon as it is found that the nlood red coloration on the leaves and ihe infested plants increase* immediate action should be taken to treat * the infested spots. The surest method is to spray such spots instead of carrying the plants to burn them. Where a plant is pulled up it should be put in ^ picker's sack that has previously ;>een soaked in kerosene. Infested plants should not be carried across .he plantation exposed in this manner | is the pests are scattered and the injury is actually increased instead of ( reduced. i The majority of red spider attacks this year are traced to violets around , dwelling houses on and near the plan- ] tations, and the attention is again di- , rected to the violet as a nuisance in cotton production. There are other ( border plats which can be substituted , for the violet and which are not red . spider carriers. Attention is again | directed to the poke stalk as a colo- { nixing plant for red spider and this weed* should not be allowed on or | near the plantation. Circular of information on red spider, what it is, what it does, how to treat and how to make the spray C will be furnished on application. DAYS OF DIZZINESS Come to Hundreds of Chesterfield ' People ' * 1! There are days of dizziness; t Spells of headache, languor, back- ( ache; t Sometimes rheumatic pains; Often urinary disorders. Doan's Kidney Pills are especially ;| for kidney ills. ? ^ Endorsed by residents of this vi- ^ cinity. Mrs. H. W. Boyett, 801 E. Evans ^ St., Florence, S. C., says: "I had terrible pains in the small of my back ( asid when I stooped, the pains were so bad, I thought P wns struck with a sha ip .tnife. I had a terrible time -J to straighten up. I had awful, ner- . vous spells and the least little thing " would irritate me. I was also troub- a led with dizzy spelfs. My kidneys p acted irregularly and caused mc much y annoyance. I was told I had Bright'* " disease, but I knew I didn't. I tried 81 different remedies but nothing I took v' did me any good until I used Doan's Kidney Pills. After I had taken one IK box I paw a change in my condition, h I took two more boxes and they en- ^ tirely cured me. That was six mornths and 1 "till am in good I ? health. 1 knov^MMUney Pills MAN POWER OF THE WAR 'rom The Augusta Chronicle: (Much has been said and written bout the man-power of the war. Now hat the war is over, and we can talk /ithout a guardian of our speech, in he form of a censor, and as statisicians will doubtless have the figures f all countries compiled acurately o date, is interesting to see the ummary of the war's actual losses. Interesting figures are shown, on he subject of American man-power, nd the losses of all nations. Here hey are. They are worth rememberng. Lieut. Col. Ayers of the gener,1 stalT has compiled them: Total armed forces, including army lavy, marine corps, 4,800,000. Total men in the army 4,000,000. Men who went overseas 2,086,000. Men who fought in France 1,390,100. Total registered in draft 24,234,021. Total draft inductions 2,810,296. Cost of war to April 30, 1919, $21,150.000,000. Battles fought by Amerian troop:-; 13. Days of battle 200. Jays of duration of Meuse-Argonne mttle 47. American battle-deaths in war 48,>00. AmericatTwounded in war 286,000. American deaths from disease 56, >01. Total deaths in Ae army 112,422. Under the head of "Sources of the Vrmy," the report shows that 13 per j ent came from the regular army, 10 >er cent from the national guard, and n per cent from the draft From the same source facts are fiven that the total battle-deaths for he belligerents totaled 7,450,000.-, livided as folowe: Russia 1,700,000. Germany 1,600,000. France 1,385,000. Austria 800,000. " Italy 300,000. Turkey 250,000. Serbia, and Montenegro 125,000. Belgium 102,000. Roumania 10,000. Bulgaria 100,000. United States 48.900* Greece 7,000. Portugal 2,000. The largest loss sustained by the \mericans was in the forty-seven-day j mttle in the Meuse-Argonne offensive 1 vhere-10 per cent of the men engaged vere either killed or wounded. While we were in the lighting for he shortest period of any country i vhich had any laige force our losses' vere .nominal. Bui while our losses in men was small, considering the number we had n France, our expenditures were trenendous. We spent at a greater rate than any other nation, and, apparently to greater effect. The money ve put into the conflict seemed to nean a saving of man-power, and rarlier collapse of the enemy, so that ivhile the cost was prodigious none of as ought to regret the loss in money, for that was merely an investment,an nsurance against great conflagration which threatened to destroy lis enirely. We are not only left with our wealth' >ur lives, our freedom, our democraic government?but we are left in .he most enviable situation in which tny nation on earth has ever found tself. We have been given ar. opportunity to do things that no nation aas ever had opportunity of doing, ind all that we have spent is but a *ood investment, and will return to as many fold. Hut to neglect any present duty is rolly, and to fail to grasp the present ipportunity of progress, prosperity, leace and human uplift is little less han criminal. ? We made our place and position in he war, the idealist place. We asked for nothing and took nothing at the ;>eace table. Hut we are out of the idealist period of our international activities low, and should be wholly practical md entirely common-sense in our landling of duties that have come to is for attention. ENLIST IN THE NAVY FOR TWO YEARS Good healthy young men between he apes of 17 and 35 are needed for he Navy, and we are in position to fiv." the.n just what they want. Up to the present time men have >een enlisting in the Navy for a >eriod of four years, hut we are now luthorized to enlist them for two, hrce or four years, whichever .hey lesire, except that men enlisting for he machinist branch or for aviatiop nechnnic must enlist for three yer.rs.

According to the legral department of the Anti-prohibition party the completion of demobilization will end' the war. They further contend that th'e official ending: of the war will automatically e?d war time prohibition. Thus the wets are hopine for a wet oasis in the dry spell. .If they have the rig;ht information tsaloons could be opened in regular style wherever it has been the custom to have such institutions-and could continue to sell boofce until the new Nation-wide Prohibition law becomes effective, Janui i oon 'a '.ie legal department of the drys h:.s another and quite different angle on th matter. Their idea is that the .vj>r' ill not be officially ended until the ri tific ition of the Peace Treaty. In fact, the prohibitionist? are very confident of being able legally, to bloc'c any effort of the wets to put a wedge, however narrow, into the dry space between now and 1920, after which, of course, their case is hopeless. The wets are claiming that President Wilson can declare the war is ended at any time and that wartime* prohibition will then come to an end. This has been disputed by the drys, who say that not only will the President's saying so not end the while the tre ty is yet unratified, but that Mr. Wilson has the same views and does not consider that the war will end until the papers in the matter are signed, sealed and delivered. SUNSTROKE IN HORSES Clemgon College, July .30.?Sunstroke, a disorder of the nervous system c used by exposure to the direct rays of the sun, is likely to cause trouble in hot weather, says the veternary division. In severe cases, death is sudden, due to paralysis of the nerve centers in the brain controlling respiration aind cireulat on. In the less severe cases, there may be marked excitement, the animal becoming uncontrollable; or the opposite condition may be present, the animal appearing sleepy and depressed. As the condition occurs in the open, and usually while the animal is at hard work, the first step is to get the animal in a cool, shady spot out of doors. If there is excitement, all precautions should be taken to prevent the animal insur'ng itself. Then cold water, *r better still, ice should be appled to the head. If ice is not available, it is well to turn the garden hose on the animal's head. The cold water tends to relieve the congested condition of the brnji, and the colder the better. The water should not be applied all over the animal, but only to I the head. I The animal should not be drenched ' for he is likely to be unconscious and the drench will, in that case, pass into the lungs where it may set up a fatal inflamution. I Following . sunstroke the animal should he rested for several days, and brought hack to hard work gradually. "Why Put Up With Rata for Yeara," I Write* N. Windaor, Farmer.

Suffering Described As Torture Relieved by Black-Draught. Rossville, Ga.?Mrs. Kate Lee Able, ol this place, writes: "My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he injured himself with a piece of heavy machinery, across the abdomen. He waa so sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed 1G5 lbs., and fell off until he weighed 110 lbs., in two weeks. I He became constipated and it loofted like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink it two or three days in succession. He uia mis yci witnout result. We became desperate, he suffered 60. He was swollen terribly. He tol<L me his suffering could only be described as torture. I sent and bought Thedford's BlackDraught. I made him take a big dose, and wheif it began to act he fainted, he was in such misery, but he got relief and began to mend at once. He got well, and we both feel he owes his life to Thedford's Black-Draught." Thedford's Black-Draught will help you to keep fit, ready for the day's work.
