sons desiring to register must also

fed electors Of this State every 10
years and makes special provision for
this registration and re-enrollment

provision in addition to the gene
raj law, which otherwise fixes the

ed to interfere with the opening of
the books for the registration of per-
sons as they may become Of age or

desiring to re-register under the pro-
visions of the law must appear in

hole close to the German lines to-
day and made dash across No Mans
Land without shot being fred at
them.
1t was noon when the patrol car
ricd out its rush to the American
line. The mems comrades, looking
on. expected every second to see
them wiped out and their safe return
was an agreeable surprise. They ex-
planned that they mad lost their way
in the dark.
The enemy artillery had not re-
sumed its activity. The American
guns to-day effectively shelled the er
emy first lines and also a town behind
the German lines, where buildings
their troops we're using were de-
stroycd. There was much aerial ac-

LIKE AN ELECTRIC

Tells Why Corn is so Painful and

Press an electric button and you

rings the bell. When your shoes
press against your corn il pushes it's
sharp roots down upon a sensitive
nerve and you get shock of pain.
instead OF trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
quarter Of an ounce Of freezone.
This will cost very little, but Is suf-

STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE.
Urges "Rope" for Spics-Frcights
COnsi,lcred-ltcgis Boys.

Columbia, March 7.-The govern
ment was called on to take more
drastic action in dealing with Ger
man spies in this country in a reso-
luton adopted by the State Council
Of Defense, at meeting held here
to-day. The resolution, which was
introduced by d. r. Coker. chairman
Of the council, follows:
"The South Carolina Council of
Defense, believing that it reflects the
intelligent patriotic opinion Of the
citizenship of South Carolina, re-
spectfully suggests to the War De-
partment that it use -more drastic
measures with German spies and in
cendiaries. We believe imposing
Of the death penalty for fragrant Of
fenses which give aid and comfort to
our enemies would decrease the COM
mission Of such crimes and aid in the
winning Of the war"
A resolution was introduced by the
Hon. ]. p. Wannamaker, of st. Mat
thews, and adopted by the body, ask
ing that, owing to the vast increase
of freight that is being handled by
the railroads, all shippers be request
ed to mark all goods plainly. and
that, further, the railroad officials
make an effort to eliminate the
roughness and carelessness with
which the freight is handled by the
employees in moving it from place to
place.
The council decided to register all
boys in the State for service. S. II.
Edmunds, superintendent of the pub
lie schools Of Sumter, was placed in
charge Of this department. Rev. II.
r. Murchison, of Lancaster, was ap-
pointed as field secretary Of the or
ganization, his church at Lancaster
having released him for this purpose.

great engagement in Europe will re-
salt in any weakening either al, the
capitals or among the people of the
nations at war against Germany.
There is ground for belief that Ger
many, realizing her failure ON the
western front, is preparing the leu
ton mind for the eventual surrender
of Alsace-Lorraine. Czernin, who is
no doubt acting as the kaiser's mouth
piece, makes it appear that the giving
up of territory filched from France in
1871 is the only obstacle to peace.
Many thousands in the central ma
tions would doubtless be ready to re-
linqu:sh the territory claimed by
France in order to secure peace. The
populace may demand this course.
Then the kaiser would cast the re-
sponsibility upon the masses in order
to save his4face.

South American Countries Have Twice
Usual Surplus Waiting.
Vast wheat stores are waiting in
South American countries for allied
ships to move them. Twice the usual
surplus-160 100000 bushels is now
offered for export by Argentine, Chile,
Uruguay. In the face of increased
demands for troop transport, ships for
South American trade are becoming
increasingly scarce. Eighty German
ships are held in Chilean and Argcn-
tine ports, which could be utilized if
these countries threw off neutrality
or entered into negotiations to employ
the German vessels in their own trade.
This question Of ships grows m
creasingly serious, all officials here adj
nit. The United States has opened
negotiations with South American
countries, it became known yesterday.

OMITTED PROPERTY.
Taxes Cannot Be Assessed Hereafter
Beyond Three Years.

Auditor c. Lee Moore has issued a
circular letter directing attention to
the changes in the new law of the
state: relative to the assessment Of
taxes on omitted property. Hereto
fore, these taxes have been collecti-
bic for,.as many years as they may
have been delinquent, unless the prop
erty had passed to the hands Of bona
fde purchaser who knew nothing of
the delinquent dues. The taxes here
after cannot he assessed for exceeding
three years for back or omitted taxes,
according to the provisions of the re-
cent act.
But there may arise question as
to the right Of the legislature to re-
lease such property from taxation.
That such a thing was not contem-
plated by the constitution is plain,
section liza reading as follows: "After
this constitution shall be in force, no
statute of limitation shall run against
any claim for the state for taxes upon
any property; nor shall the failure
to assess property for taxation defeat
a subsequent assessment for and col
lection of taxes for any preceding
year or years, unless such property
shall have passed to abona>fde pur-
chaser for value without notice"
That the action of the general as
sembly is release Of back taxes there
can be no question, and whether or
not this release will stand the test OF
the courts is an open question.

CONTROLLING THE SEAS.

There can be no victory for Ger
many as long as her enemies MAIN
tain their supremacy of the high seas
as the Richmond Timcs-Dispatch says.
The central powers might conceivably
smash the armies opposing them. They
might overrun all France and even
isolate Great Britain from the Cont
nent by the occupation OF the cilannel
ports. They might even render it
impossible, by the same process, for
e-:United States to re-enforce the
allied armies with legions from this
country, but even then the war would
20 on, and would continue to go on,
until the control of the seas was ulti-'
mately determined.
Germany will never be able to die
tate terms Of peace to her enemies as
long as those enemies bar her from all
intercourse with the peoples OF the
world. AS long as every outside mar
ket is closed to her, as long as her
merchantmen must be sheltered behind
mined harbors and her battle fleet
dares not emerge from its protected
retreat in the Kiel Canal, SO long will
Germany be impotent.
=. This. is the phase of the war situa-
:tion which many people are inclindcd
to overlook or to minimize. They do
not seem TO realize that Germany
must one day break: the IRON chain
which keeps her from the seas as she
has already broken that which ringed
her about on land, before she can capt.
talize a triumph over the allied land
forces. Nothing would give the allied
navies more satisfaction than a d.
rect challenge from Germany's fleet.
For months and even years these
fleets have lain in wait for the fight
ing ships of Germany. Now, waen a
titanic struggle is being staged upon
land, they are more impatient to set
tle-oncc and for all the question OF
naval might.
Such a test of strength, however,
seems far removed. Reports from the
battle line declare that scores of great
naval guns arc being employed against
the British. This means, 1t may be
assumed, that Germany has disman-
tied her warships in an effort TO re-
enforce her field artillery. Aside
from that, the strengthening of the
British and French navfes by the
great fleet Of the United States has
given the allies naval armament so
prepondcrating that deliberate battle
by Germany would be tanramoun. to
suicide. The chances arc, therefore,
that the German men-of-war will re-
main safely behind their land batter
les and their mined harbors for many
months to come. The German gov
eminent will rely upon her armies 20
accomplish satisfactory peace.
