stations and tracks. on trains. on
submarine bases, on aerodromes'
factories and various military estao-
lishments. They have accomplished
something, but their preponderance
has not been sufficient. apparently
to cripple the enemy.
The two great successes OF the
war are the submarine and the air
plane. 1t seems now as II victory
might be determined by a race be-
tween them.
We have touched upon a few OF
the discouraging aspects of the war.
There are some encouraging aspects.
Many will remember General
Grants story of his first clash with
the enemy as commander of a force.
He was in a state of nervous collapse
with worry about his chances of sue
cess, but finally he ordered an ad-
vance and the enemy ran away. he
learned by that experience that the
other fellow was very apt to be as
scared as himself. 1t is quite likely
that the Teutons. in spite of their
bold front. may have suffered as
heavily as have the allies. If we
could use the eyes of an ~all-seeing
angel and look into Germany we
might discern a condition of disaster
that we could hardly have imagined
We might see railroads falling to
pieces for want of new rails and
equipment, factories patching up ole
machinery, farms useless for want
of fertilizer and ven the seemingly
inexhaustible man power at the
breaking point.
We might see all of these things
and we might see none of them
We must reckon only with the known
in our preparations and leave the un'
known to work for US if it will.

What Is a SurtaI

Many interested in the Liberty
Loan and the war tax bill which has
become a law. have but a hazy notion
of the meaning Of "surtax."
Here it is: A surtax affects those
having big incomes. When the in
terest derived by an individual or
corporation from investments ex-
ceeds $4,000 annually, then that in
come is subject to surtax.
Thus a surtax will affect incomes
derived from Liberty Bonds only
when the interest on those bonds ex-
coed the $4,000 minimum. The in
terest on $125. 900 in a per cent Lib
erty Bonds is $1,000 and therefore is
not subject to surtax.
In this way the Government hopes
to have the wage earne invest in
the wal loan since his investment
would be small. Failure to surtax
Liberty Loans, on the other hand.
would encourage millionaires and
corporations to take up huge invest
ments.

Keep Land at Work.

Clemson College, Sept. 2O.-Is the
farmer going to allow his land to lie
bare this winter? Land should not
remain idle when it is possible to
cover 1t with some crop. Manurial
crops should be grown as much as
possible. Just now 1t is costly to buy
fertilizer, though it will usually pay
to do 80 to apply to crops that bring
good prices. or produce more fertil-
ity. Unmarketable stuff should be
returned to the land to help maintain
and increase its fertility. More or
less manure is wasted on every farm.
Some Of 1t cannot be saved, yet the
farmer should strive to cut waste TO
a minimum. A good farmer can get
more out Of any soil than an indiffer-
ent farmer can, but no man can raise
good crops unless his soil is fertile
or he puts fertility there.

CLEMSON JUNIOR KILLED,
Miles Carter, Of Colleton, Victim OF
Mysterious Tragedy.

Walterboro, Sept. 19.--One Of the
most regrettable tragedies ever oc-
curing in this county, took place
Saturday night IN upper Cslleton,
when Miles Carter, highly respect
ed young man, met his death. 1t Is
especially sad because the young man
was to have gone Monday to Glenn
son College where he was a Junior
a young man in whom his parents
had centered their pride and hope,
and had sacrificed to give him an op-
portuntty to secure an education.
The story Of the shooting briefly is
as follows: Saturday night six young
men OF the Little Swamp section of
the county started to go to Branch
vile, and were nearing Pine Grove
school house when they passed bug
gy beside the road. They claim that
some one in the buggy shot as they
passed and A. M. Padgett, one of
the occupants of the car, who had
pistol, said he would answer the
shot, and pulled out his pistol and
fired. Miles Carter was in the rear
seat, and companion noticed that
Mr.. Carter started as the shot was
fired, and when asked if he had bene
hit said Eyes" "Where are you
shot?' 81 don't know" was his
reply, and these were the last words
he ever spoke. The car was stopped
and an investigation was had and 1t
was found that young Carter was
badly injured. He was rushed to his
nome few miles distant, and ply
sician summoned, but nothing could
be done and he died without having
regained consciousness on Monday
morning. The shooting occurred be-
tween 10 and II o'clock Saturday
night.
A coroner's jury was empaneled
and Coroner Dopson held the in
quest. After examining a number of
witnesses the jury returned a verdict
that the deceased came to his death
from gunshot wounds at the hands of
parties unknown.
The ball entered just below the
Adams apple and ranged backward
and downward, striking the spinal
cord. There are two theories as to
the shooting. one that the party who
shot from the buggy hit the young
man, and the other that Mr.. Padgett,
when turning to shoot miscalculated
| and that he was the one who shot the
young man. The bullet cut from the
deceased was of .3S calibre, which Is
the same as Mr.. Padgett's pistol. No
arrests have been made. The names
of the occupants of the buggy have
not been learned
