WITH THE AMERICANS IN PI-
CARDY, May 2U.-(Night)-The
greatest~aerial activity continues
day and night along this front.
Bombs were dropped near an Ameri-
can hospital, but no one was in

The barking of anti-aircraft guns,
the breaking of shells in the sky,
and the hum Of airplane motors is
almost constant.
An American reconnaissance patrol
penetrated the German wires to-
night, put an enemy patrol to flight
and returned safely to the American
Lines.
The patrol crept across No Mans
Land at point where the lines are
about 200 yards apart. In the dis
tance the shattered church tower
and the jagged walls of other build
ings in Cantigny stood like ghosts

This is the question the officers

WILL ESTATE KEEP FAMILY
Obligation of Insurance Rests
Rests Upon Man With De-
pendentS.

Leslies: This question every
man-no matter how large his in
come or profits may be-iS called
upon to answer: Can your family
live from the income of your es-
tate? They are perhaps living well
now because you are a generous
provider, and while you are in the
harness they may never know want
and privation. But how would it
be If you should suddenly be taken
away and the revenue you are
bringing in should cease to be ma
terially reduced? Have you accu-
mulated enough money to enable
your family TO exist in their accuS-
toned comfort, or will YOU leave
them greatly diminished means OF
subsistence-or perhaps nothing at
all?
The inquiry is not idle nor aca-
demic The statistics of the surro-
gate courts disclose that only 3 per
cent of the men who die leave an
estate of $1,000 or over; IS per

tunity and possibility like ours, such
showing is almost unbelievable
For generations prudent counsels
have insiStently proclaimed the ne
cessity and the advantages of thrift,
but in this country they have been
too little needed.
At the age OF IS not less than 90
per cent OF American men are still
working for a living, having saved
little or nothing; IS per cent have
become wealthy. At IS years of age
10 per cent find it needful to work,
and 80 per cent are dependent on
others. At 65 years, 8 per cent are
still forced to toll for food and
shelter, and 81 per cent arc wholly
dependent. At Is years. IS per
cent are entirely dependent. To
some extent this dismal record may
be due to unavoidable misfortune,
but for the greater part it is Justly
chargeabIe to mems wanton waste

The man who insures his life is
thereby committed and compelled
to thrift. He has agreed to pay on

glaring disregard of the interests
OF those he is bound to protect

Death from Meningitis.

The first death from meningitis to
occur in this coutny took place Sunday
morning near Copeland school when
the five year old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. II. Nesbitt succumbed to the
disease. The child became sick last
Tuesday, apparently suffering from a
cold, but when it became worse ply
sicians were called and Thursday it
was pronounced as q real case of men
ingitiS. Serum with which to treat the
disease was Immediately ordered from
Columbia, but nothing availcd to save
: The child The funeral services were
held at the Laurens mill cemetery
Sunday afternoon, neighbors and
friends of the family assisting in the
funeral service. Every precaution was
taken to prevent infection of other
persons and the ohme has been under
quarantine since the seriousness of
the case was first established. No new
cases have developed in the neighbor-
hood, SO 1t Is hoped that no spread of
the disease will occur. The school
which the child attended was promptly
closed by the trustees on the advice of
the superintendent OF education.
