(IugalOo Tribune, July 30.)
Jas. D. Massey, of Columbus, Ga,
visited his sisters, Mesdames S. D.
and A. l.. Hunter, near Westminster,
the past week. Also their brother,
S. A. Massey, and son, of Seattle,
WASH, visited them. J. D. Massey
Is now vice president Of the Eagle
and Phoenix Mills at Columbus. Be-
fore going to Columbus he was for
number Of years secretary of the
Georgia Railroad Commission, with
Offices in the Capitol at Atlanta. S.
A. Massey is inspector for Frederick
& Nelson, large dry goods merchants
at Seattle. 1t Is gratifying to the
many Oconee friends Of these two
boys to know that they have risen
SO rapidly in the business world and
have been very successful. They
were reared in the Tamassee section,
few miles above WalhaIla.
Presbyterian Pastor Installed.
Rev. A. N. Littlejohn was installed
pastor OF the Westminster Presbyte-
rian church Sunday. The services
were very interesting and impressive.
Rev. j. G. Bailey, of Liberty, preach
ed the sermon, propounded the con-
stitutional questions and delivered
the charge to the pastor. Prof. r.
N. Bracket, of Clemson College, de-
livered the charge to the people. Mr.
Bailey is one of the ablest preachers
in Piedmont Presbytery and it is al
ways a treat to hear him.

Ffrcworks?-For Sure !

tSibley's Letter to Boston Globe.)
A story which may have already
reached home concerns the colored
troops, who have gone in on another
sector. They were absolutely new to
the game, and highly delighted with
1t.
When they got into their trenches
the first thing they found was a lovely
box Of fireworks, rockets, Roman
candles and all sorts of things.
They started right in and had a
Fourth Of July, ignorant that those
rockets were signals, and each had
meaning-two red balls calling for a
barrage, say, and green light for
gas, floating string for enemy on
our front in force" perhaps, and
white balls OF fire for something else
again.
A very puzzled set of artillery OBJ
servers watched the show, getting
all sorts Of contradictory news from
the front as long as the fireworks
lasted.
What the Boches thought Of it is
not recorded.

LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON on TOES
Tells Why Corn is So Painful and
Says Cutting Makes Them Grow.

Press an electric button and you
form contact with live wire
which rings the bell. When your
shoes press against your corn it
pushes its sharp roots down upon a
sensitive Lerve and you get a shock
of pain.
Instead OF trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
a quarter of an ounce of freezone.
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. "A few
drops applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn stops the soreness in
stantly, and soon the corn shrivels
up so 1t lifts right out, root and all,
without pain. This drug freezone is
harmless and never inHames or even
frrltates the surrounding skin.-Adv

!. BILLIONS FOR DEFENSE. =.
Observation-Disclosures. Observation-Disclosures.
(Greenville News.)

The slogan attributed to Charles
Cotesworth Pinckney, OF South Caro-
lima, Millions for defense, but not
one cent for tribute" must now be
amended by striking out the word
millions" and inserting in lieu
thereof the word "billions."
With the beginning of the fifth
year OF the world war, one of the
most appalling facts about the con-
fiict is its stupendous cost. For the
United States the total for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1919, will be
nearly thirty billion dollars, about
five times as much as the total cost
of the four preceding wars in which
this nation has been engaged.
The Civil War cost the United
States for its share $3,S41,O2O, 900,
yet for the next fiscal year the nation
plans to eXpend for war purposes
$22,74o,000.O0O, almost seven times
as much as the expenditure for the
Civil War. Add to the former
amount $7,00O,000,0OO in loans
planned for the. allies before June
80, 1919, and the total becomes s29,-
740,0O0,000. OF this vast amount
the army appropriation bill calls for
$12,089 100000; the naval appro-
priation bill for $1,659, 900, 900; the
Notifications bill for s5,5OO,OOO,0O
shipping, $4,000, 100000; the gene
raj deficiency bill for $992, 100000.
At the end of the War of the Rev
olution the national debt was $170,-
100000, aside from 5000, 100000 of
repudiated debts. The War of 1912
cost the nation 9,663,OO0; the
Mexican War, $l73,26S,0O the
Civil War; $3,S41, ,02O, 900; the Span
ish-American War, $l.901,926,0O
The present war has cost Great
Britain to date more than $32,OOO,-
100000, France more than s21,-
100000, Italy more than sS.-
000,0O0.000 and our other allies
more than 100000. In the
next year the United States plans to
spend for the war almost as much as
has Great Britain in the entire war
to date. The one years total will
exceed the total for the entire war
of France and Italy combined.
Up to date records for other coun-
tries are not available. but it IS off,
cially stated that their average daily
outlays for the war have been as fol-
lows: Russia (until the revolution),
$15,000,000. Germany, $25,000,O00;
Austria-Hungary, $13,000.0O0; Bull
garia and Turkey, $2,000,0OO.
Add to this immense outlay of
money the incalculable loss Of mil
lions Of human lives and then you
nave some idea Of what an imperial
dream OF world d-dominion
is costing the world. The democratic
peoples arrayed against the Huns are
resolved to fight the war to such a
conclusion as to render 1t impossi-
Bile for this immense tragedy to hap
pen again. The world must be for
ever freed from the menace of the
Hun.

The Sugar Situation.
(Greenville News.)

iNC"S.J
1t is estimated that there is almost
enough sugar in the world to supply
all needs, but sufficient ships cannot
be spared to transport the Java sup
ply through the submarine-in infested
Mediterranean, while the Cuban
crop, short as it Is, must be stretched
to fill wide demand. With the in
creased tonnage on the program in
this country, this is probably the last
year in which the American people
will be called upon to conserve sugar.
Whatever the future may develop,
the duty Of every American is plain.
1t Is not only to save sugar for the
people of England, France and Italy,
whose consumption is far less than
ours, but to "maintain the ration to
our own fighting men and those Of
the allies" as "an essential element
for the success of the war" It is
part of our share in the war.
Sugar for wholesale uses is within
control. What the Food Administra-
tion asks Of families is to limit them
selves to two pounds a month for
each member; to study sugarless
methods of canning and to return all
allowances of sugar for canning not
actually used in that way.
To do this until the new crop
comes in with the new year is not an
unreasonable sacrifice. Compared
with the privations our allies have
suffered and still suffer, it is nothing.
Loyal Americans will readily pledge
themselves to practice this conserva-
tion as faithfully as they have COM
piled with other requests from the
nation.

The Equitable Bulletin publishes
some figures demonstrating the re-
markahle progress achieved In war
activities by the United States. The
| Bulletin says:
If we are to talk and reason intel
ligenty upon the great events of the
day we must keep. posted. If we are
| to understand the progress our coun-
try is making toward the Great Day
Of Victory we must closely follow the
official announcements of the authori-
! ties. They tell us that we have trans
ported a million men to Europe with
the loss of but 291 from the undersea
enemy. We have sent saw mills into
French forests and gathered the tim
bers. wherewith we have built vast
seaport and constructed a double
track railway to the battle front for
our troops and their supplies. To get
a proper perspective of our progress
1t is we'll also to keep in mind the
following facts which the government
has made public:
We now have over 10000 army
officers.
Our army exceeds 100000 men.
1t will be 100000 by the end of the
year.
We have delivered 2SG combat
planes up to June Sth. The weekly
production was then 80.
We are now building 7S advanced
training planes per week.
We had built 4,495 elementary
training planes to June Sth.
Over 1000 Liberty motors for air.
planes have already been delivered.

make heavy artillery.
Provided 500 locomotives for use
in France. Also $4,000 freight cars
for the army in France.
Engineers building and operating
railways in France will soon number
$4,000.
We have 339,593 horses and mules
in the army.
We have $4,000 medical officers
and $4,000 men in the medical
force.
Base hospitals have been increased
from seven to 72.
Beds number 72,667, with vast
increase under way
Over 100000 soldiers have taken

alertness, etc.
Only about one-fourth of one per
cent were rejected.
Our army Is divided as follows;
Regular army-11,365 officers;
514,376 men.
National Guard in U. S. service
1000 officers; 417,441 men.
Reserve Corps-31, ,9GS officers;
1850 men.
National army enlisted force, one
million men
Death rate in the army from natu-
raj causes declined from 20.l4 per
| 900 in 1898 to 5.13 in 1916.
Drunkenness virtually banished
from army. Il
We have 25O naval vessels in Eu-
ropean waters.
They carry 5000 officers, 10000 |
men.
Admiral Sims says the allies are
sinking submarines faster than they
are being built, and building ships
faster than they are being sunk.
Sixteen hundred and twenty-five
new merchant ships have been con-
structed during tho year ending
June 30th.
We now have about 100000
tons merchant shipping.

The sleeping giant Is awakening.
Steadily, irresistibly the day Of reck-
oning and of retribution for the en-
emy approaches.
