LOOK AFTER THIS.

June the fifth. Tuesday of next
week, is the day appointed by the
federal government, for registering.
All males, of whatever race, between
the ages of 21 and 81, are called upon
to go to their home precinct, and be
registered. The registration books
will be open from a. m. to 9 D. m.
1t is not optional. All men between
the ages specified, must register. You
must appear in person, and failure
to register is punishable by imprison-
ment. To aid one to evade the law
is also equally punishable. This is
the federal governments demand and
1t will not be wise to evade the law.
There are many who may not have
been informed upon the question. Let
everybody with knowledge of the
laws demand, help carry the message
to those uninfomed.

Keep it handy, Mother! A little

OAKLAND

Oakland, May ga large acreage
has been planted in cotton this spring
but the prospects are that the yield
will be cut exceedingly short because
of the irregular stand which exists
over the country. Many farmers have
already planted a considerable amount
of cotton land over a second time and
no doubt but for the lack of cotton
seed small percentage of cotton land
will be planted in corn and peas. The
wheat crop has been reduced to a GER
tain extent by a poor prospect for
crop and the land was ploughed up
and planted in other crops. Although
there is some extra fine wheat in some
sections of the county.
The time has arrived when the ma
tion's most cherished prospects for the
future as a "nation builder" must
step out and retain a nations hono-
and defend her cause. Yea, men of
integrity, men who can be relied upon.
Men who have not sought adventure
or to gain notoriety by selfish motives
but rather men who love home and
community and everything in general
that constitutes morality which is the
|upkeep of civilization. Such men as
these already know what the word
war implies and therefore the results
will be effective when they march to
the front and face the firing line then,
a thought of loved ones back at home,
their determination will be to win or
die in the attempt.
The following program will be rem
dered on Friday, June 9Th, by the Cal
houn literary society at Oakland
school house:
Debate, Resolved, that boys ard
girls should not attend the same
school together" Affirmative, An

There is every likelihood that peo-
pie generally will invest in Liberty
Bonds. This is one way that those
who cannot go to the front can, never
theless, show their patriotism and
help win the war. The number of
men and women who could buy at
least fifty dollar bond is enormous.
And it will be best that this debt of
the government be carried bv the
many and not the few. AS we under
stand the matter, the banks of the
county will help you, if you need help,
In purchasing your bond, and you can
pay foh it in weekly instalments. True,
everything is high, and everybody
seems bit nervous. But we believe
it to be duty we owe our govern
ment in this time of stress to invest
something in Liberty Bonds.

There are so many stirring and
fearsome incidents of the present
great war that ones mind becomes
confused and fails to keep pace with
the might yevents. And we are prone
to forget that the daily tasks are af-
ter all just as necessary and more
necessary now than ever before. Our
country needs plodders, earnest work
ers, faithful men and women in every
walk in life now more than ever be-
fore. And through it all there must
be the spirit of hope. The pessimist
Is OF as little use now as he was in
times of peace, and he is now far
more dangerous.

Those who heard the young men of
the high school debate the question:
"1s Wilson's Policy of Conscription a
Wise One" were we'll repaid for the
time it consumed to attend. These
young fellows debated the question
both pro and con and showed a thor
ough grasp of the subpect. This de-
batting society of the high school is
one of the best things in the school.
1t cultivates independent thought and
stimulates the cultivation of the pow
ers Of public speech in high degree.

This humble scribe has planted
beans the fifth time this season, and
now the editors prospects are fine.
From beans loaded with fruit to beans
not yet out of the ground-we feel
quite secure. Every time it rains,
another row is planted. If the bacon
stops anywhere around fifty cents a
pound, we feel that everything is all
right. A small chunk of meat goes a
long way for boiling purposes.

Williams of the Methodist church.
Joe must have been a model soldier.
The author of this notice being Con-
federate Veteran, had the privilege Of
reading several of his letters to his
parents, in which he was enthusiastic
in his liking of camp life and its en-
vfronments. He spoke very highly of
his officers and their kindness and re-
gard for the men under their COM
mand.
The deceased soldier was a son o,

relatives to mourn his early death, all
of whom have the sincere sympathy
of the entire community. The aged
parents lose loving son, the country

CROSS KEYS

Cross Keys, May 30.-The severe
hail storm, followed by heavy rains,
that visited our section last week has
damaged the crops considerably, poor
stands being almost everywhere.
Flows your crop?" and whats the
war news?" is about all you can hear.
These two subjects are about the gen-
eral run of conversation, l suppose
everywhere. This war is a war of all
the people; it confronts every one
alike in America. A war in which we
are all concerned; every citizen must
do his part, everyone doing the part
for which he is best fitted. Our Pres
| ident's job just now as manager of
the American war team is to see that
the right men are put in the right
places; that the expert rifle men or
sharpshooters be not kept on the farm
or in the factories, or the farmer or
shop men put in the firing line. Reg
istration on June 5 will disclose just
where every man belongs, and it will
then be for the manager (President)
to pick his war men and his shop men
and his farm men and his factory men
and to keep them all working in uni
son for the flag, that we all take pride
in. Ia
Many from here went to hear the
commencement sermon at Cross An-
chor high school Sunday.
Mr.. Conway Bailey of Laurens was
visiting friends here Sunday.
Mr.. Claude Sparks went to Cross
Anchor on business Saturday.

GERMAN JOINS ARMY
Father is Now An Officer in the
Kaiser's Army.

CHICAGO, April 90. -. Albert
Werner is a private in the United
States army
Back Of this simple statement is
a story of heart breaking struggle
Of a young man who wrestled alone
with his conflicting emotions and
who sacrificed everything for prin-
ciple.
Werner is German born. He was
brought 70 this country by his
mother after his father had joined
the German army. Today the faith
er is a high officer in the kaiser
forces. Uncles and cousins of AL
bert Werner hold other high mill
tary posts.
In Chicago Werner has been hold
ing down a mail-order house job at
$40 a week. When war was de-
clared fellow workmen asked him
what he intended to do.
The answer came in the words
with which this story was started.
