The immediate result of this movement, it is said, has been higher prices paid by local butchers and their willingness to pay cash for live stock instead of insisting that payment be made by extending credit to the pro ducer Incidentally the operations of the company have shown that live stock, can be bought and shipped to the large markets, and number of pri- vate dealers have undertaken to com pete with the company. This has stimulated livestock production in the surrounding country.
 Clemson College Plan.
 Another plan adopted by the Clem- son Agricultural college in South Caro- lima and the United States department of agriculture, which has been cooper ating with the college in the encourage ment of livestock production, is the establishment of set market days at places accessible to the farmers feed ing cattle. When this plan was first instituted arrangements were made to bring to the sales buyer from Northern markets. The results have proved very satisfactory. cattle frequently netting from one half to one cent more per pound than local buyers offer.

All for the Country /!
(Atlanta Constitution.)

The editor Of the Triton (Ga.) Ga
zette gives expression to the feeling
or the fathers-and no less patriotic
mothers-of the country, in this per-
sonal word Of son who has enlisted
for army service:
'Gerald Herring has enlisted in
the aviation corps and left for Allan
ia Monday night. We would not,
by word or deed, stand between him
and his duty, as he sees 1T. Had it
been possible, we would have been in
the service ourselves. To say that
because we have seven sons we have
one to spare, is to speak foolishly.
Affection is individual; it knows not
numerals. TO us each Of our boys
stands alone. as If he were an only
son; 1t could not be otherwise. Yet,
while we have no boys to spare, we
stand ready to surrender any, or all,
even life, when duty calls or their
country needs"
That is the truest test of patriot
ism-the readiness to give all
And the real, self-sacrilcing pa
triotic spirit speaks everywhere, and
there Is consecration in it.
Had it been possible, we would
have been in the service o4rself" is
no less the sentiment Of a million
than it Is Of one; for the regret Of
the veterans Of other wars is that
they cannot fall in line" now, as of
old.
North and South it is the same,
and the voice of the veteran is
1t may be that my hair is white
Such things, you know, must be;
But If this old Unions in for war,
Make one more gun for me!
1T Is the battle winning spirit,
handed down from father to son. If
the country demands all, let it take
all; for it's "All for the Country!''

YES /! LIFT a CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN.
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to
Dry Up II Corn or Callus so It
Lifts or With Fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because
few drops of freezone applied direct
ly on tender, aching corn or callus,
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callus loosens so it
can be lifted out. root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take Off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it Is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get small bottle for
you from his wholesale drug house.
1t is fine stuff and acts like charm
every time.-Adv.

David r. Coker, Hartsville. 8 C
Dear Mr.. COker: 1 notice that oppo-
sltlon Is being fomented against our
state doing its full part in this world
war. l regard this as the most mo-
mentous epoch since the birth of
Christ, and it seems to me that the
rate Of popular government Is going
to depend upon what the United
States may be able to do within the
next year. The administration at
Washington did all in it's power to
Keep out of war, but Germany forced
1T upon us by the use Of cruel and in
human methods.
| am too old to volunteer for ac-
tual service In the field, but | am
perfectly willing to do anything in
my power to aid in this cause. l am
writing to you, as chairman of the
Council of State Defense, because
you might hesitate to call upon me
because Of the fact that our political
at1lliations have been different. In
the light Of the great events which
tlcs seem very small to me.
We might as we'll understand that
the stake Is the domination Of the
world either by an autocracy under
German rulers or democracy under
United States leadership. Who
doubts that If England and France
were conquered that we would not
have to fight Germany as soon as she
could mobilize the resources Of the
conquered people? Is 1t not more
sensible to fight when we are ready
and not when Germany Is ready? The
success Of Germany means the mega
tion Of every governmental principle
In which we believe.
Germany means to keep Belgium m,
Poland and Northern France, making
a vast military empire of middle Eu-
rope. She will control the Balkans
and the Dardanelles and take toll of
all traffic with Asia. She will reor-
ganize and dominate Russia, and in
her own good time send vast armies
to attack the United States and force
an indemnity so great that we will
not have homes In which we live.
! believe that we will be called
upon to make great sacrifices; all Of
the nations will suffer; but the fires
or war Will burn away the dross and
out of 1t will come a finer and higher
civilization. Germany has outra ged
the conscience of the world by her
brutality to women and children in
all of the conquered countries, to say
nothing Of her ruthless submarine
warfare. She Is bound to 90 down
before world in arms.
If you can use me in any way, my
services are at your command.
Yours very truly,
JnO. l.. McLaurin.

boys. Now is the time before they

for little can be done without prepara-

future ahead of them, and we sure
feel that it is our duty if possible to
tighten their burden.
The local board has not received
any further notice as to when the boys
will be called, but it is expected any
day. Most all the boys who are al
ready at Camp Dodge have written
back very satisfactory letters about
the conditions, and some Of our local
boys have already received promo
tions. The State Board has not acted

ORDER TO :
FRANCE EXPECTED

Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. c.,
Oct. of the Forty-Fi.st
division of the United States army,
which includes the North Dakota reg
iments now at Camp Greene, b l;eve
that the division is to be among the
first sent from the training camps to
France. Word from Charlotte indi-
Gates that Major General Light,
commander Of the division, is on his
way to France. There is no reason
why the training course prepared here
could not be completed as well in
France as in the United States.
The Camp Greene reservation en-
braces an area of about miles by
2h miles. The camp is constructed
roughly in the form of great horse
shoe. Provision is made for l. infant
ry regiments, four artillery regiments,
supply train, sanitary train, engineers
giment, signal corps in all for about
$4,000 to 10000 soldiers.
Though the camp site has been
approved by army officers, it has d s.
advantages, from the military view
point, the principal one of which is
that tthe land is rolling.
The camp is now completed save
for the work on the great base hos
pital, consisting of IS separate hos
pitfalls covering an ara of 65 acres.
Army boards are seeking sitos at
Camp Greene for rifle, machine gun
and pistol ranges and a manuvering
ground, neither of which is now pro-
vided.
Six thousands soIdiers from the
northwestern states are already quart
cred at Camp Greene. They will not
be able to buy anything in Charlotte
on Sunday, not even soft drink or
tobacco in any form, nor can they get
shoe shine. There is no oppor-
tunity for the men to get liquor.
