Simpson, the small son of Mr.. an6
Mrs. Dick Simpson, fell in the fielc
while plowing last week. He is very
sick and has been speechless since he
fell. We sincerely hope to see this
little man better soon.
Rev. and Mrs. w. S. Martin were
visitors here last week, they spent
Friday night with Mrs. o. B. ROBBERS
and took dinner with MIR. and Mrs
J. H. Ferguson Saturday, and spent
Saturday. night with Mr.. and Mrs
Calvin Prince.
We were glad to hear that Mr.
Frank Rogers is improving. He is
now in the Columbia hospital for ar
operation for appendicitis.
On last Sunday afternoon the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison Nc.
KEGS was broken into and some
money was stolen. Mr.. Mckee had
an idea who the negro was, so he and
Mr.. Ban Campbell planned to cap.
ture the thief, Mr.. Campbell hid in
one one room, while Mr.. and Mrs
Mckee made a visit to a neighbor
They had been gone only a few
minutes when the black fellow came
in at a window and was going fol-
some money when Mr.. Campbell col
Jared him and carried him away
from his dreamy sum of silver.
A good piece of advice is to carry
your pocket book with you-for il
the war goes on many years longer
We'll need every cent and do not
want it stolen.
We have had nothing much to
talk about but war, war, war, when
some one said forget about it, anG
don't think of it or you 60 crazy
How can we forget when flour is
$500, when it used to sell for S.
corn meal $3.50 when it used to sell
for 80, meat .25, when it used to
sell for 7 or 8 cents, and everything
else is just that high.

NOSE CLoGGED FROM
A COLD OR CATARRH
Apply Cream in Nostrils To
Open Up Air Passages.

If your nostrils are clogged and
your head is stuffed and you can't
breathe freely because of a cold or
catarrh, just get small bottle of
Ely's Cream Balm at any drug
store. Apply a little of this fra
grant, antiseptic cream into your
nostrils and let it penetrate through
every air passage of your head,
soothing and healing the inflamed,
swollen mucous membrane and you
get instant relief.
All! how good it feels. Your nos
trils are open, your head is clear, no
more hawking, snuffling, blowing; no
more headache, dryness or struggling
for breath. Ely's Cream Blam is
just what sufferers from head colds
and catarrh need. It's a delight.

ciety be formed in each school call
ed the "Volunteer Service League
/ into which shall be enrolled all chill
dren who will volunteer for the pro-
duction and conservation of food
stuffs. Each member of this society
should pledge himself or herself to
cultivate small garden or corn
patch or to help $50 many hours per
week. in the cultivation of the home
vegetable garden or in attention to
the live stock on the farm or to
raise a pig or some chickens.
In addition to this, they should
pledge themselves not to waste a
crumb of food and to use their in
luence to stop all food waste in
their homes. They should be made
to understand that now, when the
nation needs every ounce of surplus
food, for war purposes, it is nothing
less than criminal to throw away
provisions of any kind. It is COM
mon sight around most of the school
houses of the State to see children
eat half of their lunches and dump
the rest on the ground. No more
food should be prepared for the
family or brought to school than can
be entirely consumed If this were
done, probably rs per cent. of the
food consumption of the State would

Your committee should cooperate
with the negro preachers and teach
ers to secure the adoption of this
programme. Without their help our
campaign can be but partially sue
cesful. Meetings should be arranged
at negro churches and school houses
and white speakers should be fur
nished wherever desirable In some
counties it will be necessary for you
to appoint subcommittee in different
townships in order to make your
campaign most effective. This should
be done wherever it is necessary.
The effectiveness of this campaign
for civic preparedness for war will
depend almost entirely on the work
of the county commission. The COM
mission can do little except start the
campaign and furnish you with a
few speakers, some literature and
some advice. We are going to count
an the patriotism and unselfish SER
vice of your committee } to make q
conspicuous success of your county
campaign to the end that your peo-
pie will do their full duty to the
State and nation at this. crisis.

The merchants of your county
must be made to realize that their
/ cooperation is absolutely necessary
for the success of this campaign. Un-
less supplies of the necessary seeds
and of cans and pars for canning
are available, much of the effect of
our work will be neutralized. Whole
hearted cooperation from all the peo-
pie, in fact, is vital if the State is
TO do the necessary and patriotic
work which the national and State
authorities have called on us for.
There is great shortage of some
Kinds of seeds, and the merchants
may be unable to secure a full as
sortment of those recommended.
Substitutions, howevre, can usually
be- made without seriously affecting
the programme.
The two most effective agencies
which may be used for our campaign
are the churches and the schools.
Gov. Manning has asked all the
ministers in South Carolina to take
up an advocate in their sermons,
food production and conservation. 1t
would be well to hold meeting of
the county teachers associations
(both white and colored) and urge
the teachers to enter wholehearted-
{ " into the work. Patriotic songs
should be frequently sung by the
schools, short talks on the war and
the national situation should be CIV

should be stimulated in every posi-
BE way. It must be made plain to
each child that he has a part in the

The Coming of a
GREAT ENGINE.


A new manifold, termed THE Rams
horn, has been constructed of simple pip
ing. 1t is ON the exterior of the engine 1t
IS a manifold OF easy curves SO that there
are no sharp corners for the raw gas to lodge
against and be pushed into the cylinders.
The next development was to give the
gas the proper amount of heat after it came
from the carburctor
What is termed hot plate is built in
at the top of the throat Of the carburctor so
that the gas coming straight up from the car
buretor hits the hot plate the dimensions
of which have been worked out very Scien-
tifically, and then passes around the easy
curves of the smooth manifold in perfect
state of mixture and at the proper tempera-
turc to each Of the cylinders.
The case OF this Chalmers engine has
been proved.
l. On August / and 2, Joe Dawson
drove a Chalmers equipped with this same
engine 1898 miles in 24 hours-faster and
farther than anyone ever before had travelled
on land, sea or air.
If there's a flaw in pattern, or part, a
solid day of bitter, brutal speed will find it.
2. There are over / 1000 Chalmers
containing this engine now in use. They
check up past all expectations.
Therefore, the Maxwell Motor Com
pany, which has leased The Chalmers Motor
Company, has put its O. X. on this engine,
and accordingly Oh che che Chalmers car.
so per cent Of any automobile is the
engine; and no car can be a bit better than
its engine.
So you are safe in writing your check
for Chalmers.

Men.who drive cars are face to face with
a condition that becomes more and more
serious each day.
That condition is the constantly de-
clining grade Of gasoline.
Nearly every engineer has said goodby
forever to high-grade gas.
For the moment, and possibly tor all
time, mult-cylinders, counter balanced
crankshafts, and little tricks with valves
give way in engineers discussions to the
gas problem
Every alert engineer is bending his
utmost to make "one drop of gas now do
the work of two
Just as great situations produce great
men, SO out of this condition has come a
great engine.
1t is Chalmers.
1t makes high power out of low grade
gas.
Compared with other engines of the
same size or thereabouts, it shows:
More b0Cer More rapid accelerato1
Greater ec0n0ny Greater length of life
Greater m0Othnes5
Ind an ama&iDg abiliy 10 start quickly on
cold dag, and 10 'q0arm ub 10ibout delay.
The Chalmers engine is simple one.
That is one reason why it is 50 good.
In many engines of the moment the gas
passes on its way from the carburetor to the
cylinder through a tunnel, which runs all
the way through the engine block
Before the gas gets to the cylinder it is
forced to turn many sharp angles and does
not become completely mixed with the air.
This results in raw gas running into not.
only one but all the cylinders, particularly
when the car is cold, and especially when
running for the first five or ten miles.
In the case Of the Chalmers engine this
type of intake manifold has been COM
pIetely eliminated.

More Than Half the inhabitants Of

A huddled group Of shivering, nerve

cent arrival at an Atlantic port from
war-stricken Jerusalem, sank TO their

offered up a prayer for their safe de-
livery.
Tears Of gratitude sreamed down
their blanched and pinched faces. And
they smiled-smiled for the first time
since their happy, though unpreten-
tious homes were so abruptly demol-
ished.
Content as these people were to eSe
out nn unpretentious living. they were
wholly unprepared for the shock that
followed. First, the decreased food
supply, and then-they trembled as
they told Of 1.-THE raids by the Turks.
