were placed in the trenches with rifles.
Later we got our chance. AS we charg-
ed toward the German Lancers they
threw down their lances and begged
for mercy. AS we swept on by with
our lances we were fired on from be-
hind. Then we started back for them,
and we finished every one Of them. We
didn't want to take any Of them pris-
oners any way"
In another charge soon afterward,
Smith says, a German lancer struck
him amidship with his lance.
IF it had been as sharp as our
lances are l would have been stuck
clean through, but it only knocked the
wind out of me, and l had strength
enough left to get couple Of them.
The Germans lances are much too
long; they can't handle them as we do.
We let the horses carry the lance into
them and as we go sweeping by the
horse pulls it out again. That's the
way we work the trick. The Germans
are a chicken-liver bunch when they
see the steel shining"
How It Feels to Charge.
A few days later, while riding to-
ward the enemy with head lowered
over his horses neck, the reins were
shot out Of Smiths hand and his chin
was almost blown off by bursting
shell.
My horse was new to the battle
field" said the lancer, but he carried
me back to the rear in an almost un-
conscious condition"
1t was with great difficulty that
Smith could talk, for most of his teeth
were gone.
How do you feel when you charge?'
the lancer was asked.
"A fellow feels damn wild-that's
how he feels. You forget everything
but sticking few Germans
Three of the wounded men told of

1.-THE Germans Can Fight
Edward Cross of the Cheshires, a
regiment that enfiladed, had terrible
wounds, and the doctors and nurses
were trying to ease his suffering. The
left arm from the shoulder to the wrist
was as black as coal and there were
numerous wounds in it.
They got at us from the side" said
Cross, "and their machine guns did
the business. A lot Of our fellows went
down and didn't get up again. The
Germans can fight, no doubt about
that, especially with their artillery"

Nov. 8, 1914.
Hon. John L. McLaurin, State Ware
house Commissioner, Columbia, S. c.
Dear Sir: 1 am in receipt Of yours
of the 9th inst, in reference to appro-
priation for the expenses Of what is
commonly known as the warehouse
act, approved on the Goth day of Octo-
Der, 1914.
This act makes an appropriation Of
$4,000 for the putting into operation
of this act. There is no appropriation
made in the general appropriation act
which was passed by the extra session
Of the general assembly.
My opinion is that the warehouse
act makes an appropriation Of $4,000
and that if there are any funds on
hand whatsoever in the state treasury
which are available those funds should
be paid out by the state treasurer
upon proper warrants drawn by the
comptroller general, as provided in
the warehouse act
Il note from your letter that there is
s17, 500 in the treasury unappropriated.
In my opinion, your claims, with prop
er warrants by the comptroller gen.
eral, may and can be honored by the
state treasurer.
Yours very truly,
"Thos. H. Peoples,
Attorney General"
Il desire to call special attention to
section IS Of the warehouse act:
ITO put this act into immediate ef
feet, the sum of $4,000 be and the

MONDAY PAY DAY
BEING AGITATED
BY RETAIL CLERKS
Chief Argument For It Is
that It Would Keep Money
From JUarez Gamblers.

Monday viii be pay day in FL Paso
if plans now under way by the Retail
Clerks union are carried out The
matter was brought up at a joint meet
ing Of the American and Mexican
clerks union at the Fraternal Broth
erhood hall Wednesday night
1t is the contention that not only
would the Monday pay day help the
clerks in that it would cut down the
rush Of late Saturday night shoppers,
but that it would be a big benefit to
FL Paso. because the Saturday and sun
day flow OF FL Paso dollars across to
Juarez would be stopped. At the meet
ing Wednesday night vote Of thanks
was rendered TO the Globe Mills. which
has already adopted the Monday pay
day policy
Few Stores Stay Open.
According to the report made at the

SCAFFOLD CANE BRIDGE.

The new steel bridge over the Eliz-
abeth Branch OF Silver Greek is a
delight to everyone who passes over
it. OF course, in the summer time
ii used to be pleasant to ford the
branch. but great part OF
the year horses struggled in the
mud and over the rough stony APP
prOach and could only draw three
quarters of a load into town.
This bridge is one Of seven in
this magisterial district which be-
long to the administration OF Squire
Lakewood. and he has a right TO
credit and satisfaction.
The county paid 1915 for the steel
work, the town put in the butment
and fill on the north side, and the
citizens outside the corporation with
the help Of the College provided the
butment and fill on the south side.
The subscription paper for this
south FIJI is an interesting one be-
cause Of the names it contains and
because of the names it does not
contain. A subscription paper, by
the way, is a mighty good test Of
the character of folks. Some peo-
pie think it is smart to shirk pub
lie duty and let other people do the
things which will be for their bene-
fit. But everybody will enjoy the
