REAL BATTLE CAPABILITIES
OF THE ARMIES OF EUROPE

DO you know that the contending
armies in Europe today are battling
upon their peace time footings?" asked
a colonel on the general staff OF the
United States army. And don't for
get that the nation that gets its fight
ing force up TO its full war strength
first will gain a material advantage in
the present turmoil"
This means that any hasty deduc-
tions made upon the basis of fights
won and lost up to date may soon
prove absolutely misleading.
The question then arises: Which OF
the struggling armies can reach its
war strength soonest, and. with that
attained, what are its chances for
maintaining that standing In the gru-
cling days to come? The answer is
a matter of administrative efficiency
first, and then follows naturally the
relative merits of the reserve material
upon which the nation can draw as
battle after battle and disease thin
the ranks OF those In the feld. At
present the Germans are virtually
fighting alone four other nations, but
their initial setbacks are not properly
q true index OF what is to come In the
near future.

ular among his associates and is the
right man for the office he now fills.

Between twenty and thirty per-
sons were injured, several very Sc
riously, when the grand stand at
the fair grounds fell with a crash
at Laurens Monday. 1t was esti-
mated that 800 or 900 were on the
stand when the accident occurred,
and it is little short of a miracle that
no lives were lost outright and that
more were not hurt. A dozen or
more of the injured were rushed to
the Julia Irby sanitarium; others
were treated on the grounds, while
others were taken to their homes in
the city.

FIGURING MILLS
For Black River Section OF WI
Iiamsburg and Georgetown.

There are those persons who have
the idea that wheat cannot be sue
cessfully grown in this part of the
country.
1t is a mistake.
Wheat can be, has been and is be-
ing quite successfully grown in the
Black river section of Georgetown
and Williamsburg counties adjacent
to RHEIMS. And considerably more
wheat is going to be produced in
that section another year.
Moreover, it is entirely within the
range of probabilities that a bolting
plant will be established at or near
RHEIMS in the near future-in time
to handle the next local crop.
What delightful visions Of whole
wheat cakes for breakfast and gra'
ham bread for supper. with home,
milled biscuits three times a day,
that suggestion conjures up!
It's understood that the proposed
boiling plant has ample backing,
both with capital and the acreage
of wheat necessary to its profitable
operation. 1t will not be an am
bilious plant, to begin with. 1t will
not undertake to compete with the
great patent roller process" mills
of western Touring centers. 1t will
use no kaolin, or plaster of paris, or
other bleaches. But it will make
-four of a sort to bring delight and
health to the consumers.
The wheat of this section, it is
stated on authority. while not SO
hard as the wheat of the colder
northwest, is still most excellent
grain, and mills and bolts perfectly.
In nutritive properties it is not in
ferior TO any other wheat, though
the color of the flour may not be
snow-white.
In connection with the bolting
plant it is possible that there will be
an oatmeal machine. Tons of oat-
meal are annually consumed in
South Carolina as breakfast food,
and all of this now comes from the
North or the West; yet South Caro-
lima, and Georgetown and Williams
burg counties, can grow oats to
match any in the world.-George-
torn Times.
We can testify from personal
knowledge that our friend, Mr. e F
Williamson, can and has raised as
fine wheat as can be produced any
where in the United States, Judging
from the flour of several grades
with which he has presented US IN
liberal quantities from time to time

LnG OF QlS6aSG ana Q6aJn,
c~easelessly vigilant, automatically
precise, concentrated, self-forgetfuI,
comprehensive, thinking of every
thing, and doing all with a smile and
humorous word.
His long, idle life lived in the open
air, without excess of any kind had
given him a store of energy and a
reservoir of strength on which he
now drew, steadily diminishing the
supply. There was talk, of course, at
Askatoon at frst-ugly, unstinted
talk; for there were days and days
when Shannon was away with his
sleigh or his wagons and Nolan Doyle
and Norah Brennan were alone in
the house, save for the two bed-Tid-
den peOple-and Another; and the
talk became a scandal, which at least
materialized in the definite proposal
of tar-and-feathers for Nolan Doyle.
It was then that the Young Doctor,
who had a gift for acting at the right
time-not by any means a rare thing
in his race-went out upon the war
path. First he went to the Rev. Eben-
ezer Groom, the Methodist minister
in whose ''parlor" much santimoni-
Gus scandal had been brewed, and in
sisted that he should come out to
the house of shame" and learn the
truth.
They came to the door of the shad-
ed sick room at a moment when Mol
an Doyle was holding the paralyzed
woman in his arms like a child-and
a very heavy child at that-and Nor
ali was freshening the pillows. The
pious sky-pilot saw the woman put
gently back on her bed, whispering
blessings on the head of Nolan,

In the other room Nolan Doyle said
to the bewildered preacher: I've had
letters-frOm some of your flock, I'm
thinkin'. Here's wan of them-read
it. 1t come this mOrnin'."
The preacher read a letter of a
dozen lines which brought the blood
of shame to his fat face. He was not
wholly a h%ypOcrite; he had a good
heart and an ill-used conscience.
The Sunday following, having judi
ciOusly set the rumor flying that he
would preach a special sermon, on a
special subject of local Importance,
he found a congregation that filled
the church to the doors; and when
he stood up to preach, it was so still
that only the roaring of the fire in
the huge stove could be heard-typ-
ical of the fame of the spirit, as he
very obviously said, when he gave
out his text, which was: Judge not,
that ye be not judged"
The sermon was very fully reported
in the local papers, and the story he
had told was of such an unusual ma
Uure that the SenSaClOnal parts OF 1t
were copied in paper after paper till
they appeared in cities on the Mis-
sissippi and ports in the Bay of
Fundy.
Another spring came, and then the
early sUmmer-the first of June, and
then the end fell suddenly. There
came to the door of the house of
Brennan one bright morning a man
bearded and big and bUoyant. He had
in his hands a canvas bag, such as
pOstmen or fishermen use, and in his
eyes was a light of humor and eager
ness and anxiety all in one. He
knocked at the Intel, of the open
door and entered. AS he did so a fig
Ure came slowly from the other room,
