aspects of war Will be found traces of
pure and unselfsh purpose.
Many of the belligerent nations and
individuals are wrong-possibly they
are all wrong. But to the credit of
human nature it must be admitted
that nearly all of them think they
are right. and are willingly making
heroic sacrifices for what they con-
ceive to be their duty to the com
munity the nation, the race.
War is the greatest of all evils
and also the greatest inspirer of self
abnegation. Millions of men today
are giving their lives without a mur-
mur, and with absolutely no thought
OF personal advantages. They are
fighting and dying-or think they
are-to make life nobler or more toll
cradle for their children and their
countrymen.

The Russians seemingly have en-
tirely regained the initiative, especial
ly in Galicia. Here it is reported
from Petrograd that the Russians
have won victory on the river
Strips. The territory on which the
battle was fought marks the extreme
left of the Russian battle line. The
Russian offensive on this front start
ed several weeks ago when successes
were won at Tarnpol and Trembowla.
Austro-German reinforcements were
rushed up and hard and incessant
fighting has taken place since. Cen
eral Count Won Bothmer commands
the Austro-Germans in this sector
and the German official report of to-
day says that the position OF the
German troops" with him is un-
changed"

Build Up Our Town.
90. PRESIDENT.
w. f. ESTRIDGE,
Co. Secretary and Treasurer.

Gaffney Ledger
There seems to be quite jealousy
among some business men, dispo-
sition to try to break down their adj
versary in order to build themselves
up on their opponents downfall This
petty feeling among rivals in bust
ness is all wrong. The best way to
build up town is to stand by every
man in the place who does right.
Whenever man is doing well do not
tear him down. All residents should
be as partners, not opponents. In
all livelihoods the more business your
rival does the more you will do. Every
business man who treats his custo-
mers honestly. courteously and fairly
will get his share. and the more bus'-
ness that can be secured by united
enorts, the better il will be for all.
When town ceases to grow it be-
gins to die, and the more people try
to Kill each others business. the more
readily will utter ruin come to all.
Stand together for the advancemen ent
OF every citizen. If man shows
ability TO prosper do not pull him
back through jealousy or weigh him
down through cold indifference.
