Good Wheat Crop.

The farmers of Berkeley county are
jubilant over the excellent wheat yield of
this y ar an ! with god prices they ex-
pect il to more than overbalance the loss
by the poor hay crop. Most Of the far
mes are now busy threshing and they all
report that the wheat is turning out well.
There is but little straw in proportion to
the wheat, on account of the long spells
Of dry weather, but the drouth didn't ef-
feet the grain hardly at all. The crop
this year will be far better than the crop
Of last year.

The pipes have been delivered at the

IT the work is resumed the Council will
Immediately take steps toward getting out

The Scarlet Lancers.

Lord Roberts successful application
to the war Office for the Sixteenth
(Queen's) Lancers to be allowed to
leave India for the seat of war in
South Africa recalls to a CORES pond
ent of the Pail Mall Gazette a story
OF this famous cavalry regiment. The
Sixteenth Lancers is the only regiment
OF British cavalry that has ever pes
etrated and broken square OF infant
ry. and it made this unique record
by fine feat performed at the battle
of Aliwal, in the Punjab in January.
1916 The gallant Sikhs had thrown
themselves into the squares, and in
this formation they for a long time re-
sisted the desperate charges Of the
English cavalry just as stubholnly as
the British infantry had resisted the
French cuirassicrs at Waterloo With
out receiving any orders TO that Ell
feet, but as if controlled BY a unau.
imous impulse, they suddenly shifted
their lanees to the bride hand ana
charged ii once more. The Sikhs. en-
tirely unprcpared for this sudden and
mastery manoeHyre, received in their
bodies instead of on their targets the
deadly spear-points Of the horsemen.
Into and through the squares swept
the Sixteenth. with lanees as crimson
as their tunics Even so. it is re-
corded that the resistance was So Ges-
perate and sustained that the Sikh
square had to be ridden through again
ana yet again ere they were finally
destroyed and dispersed. 5
