MS cursed so much then, though We
were pretty handy with language al
any time. But when you are under
heavy fire like that and cannot give
Il back ms good MS you get, you 90
crazg unless you hnye something to do
Cussing is the best thing we could
think Of
Up the trench the third bay was
simply smashed in and the Germans
were placing bomb after bomb right
IN II and In ours. The captain yelled
out That he was going up TO the next
bny TO examine Il, hut no more had
he got there than he had his head
taken clean on his shoulders.
AZ dayhreak our trenches were all
pounded In and most OF our dugonts
were filled up Then Fritz opened up
with his artillery FIRE right ON us. We
thought they were going to chnrge and
we figured their barrage would lift
and we could see them come over
We received orders 70 stand TO with
nred bayonets Then the man at the
periscope shouted, 'They Gomez
A battery directly behind us went
Into action first and then they all
Joined In and inside OF Ave minutes
about eight hundred guns were raising
Cain It'll Fritz The Boches we're
caught square In No Mans Land and
our rines and machine guns simply
moved them down. Many OF them
came half way across, then dropped
their guns and ran for our trenches
to give themselves up. They could not
have got back TO their own trenches.
II was shame to waste a shell on
these poor FISH. n they had been civ
vics the law would prevent you from
hitting them--you know the kind.
They could hardly drag themselves
along.
That is the way they look when you
hive got them. But when they have
got you--kicks, cuffs bayonet jabs--
there u nothing they will not do TO
add to your misery. They seem TO
think that II boosts their own courage.
An artillery ere like ours was great
fun for the gunners, but 1t was not
much fun for Fritz or for US In the
trenches. We got under cover almost
as much as Fritz and held thumbs for
the gunncrs to get through In n hurry.
Then the fire died down and II was
50 quiet II made you jump.
We thought our parapet was busted
up good deal, but when we looked
through the periseope we saw what
had happened TO Fritz trenches and,
believe me, they were practically
ruined.
Out in No Mans Land It looked like
woolworth's fiye-and-ten; everywhere
were gray uniforms, with tlncups and
accouterments that belonged TO the
Germans before our artillery and ma
chine guns got to them.
Our streteher bearers were busy,
carrying the wounded back to hrst-aid
dressing station. for, OF course. we had
suffered too. From there the blesses
were shipped to the clearing station.
The dead lay In the trenches all day
and at night they were carried out
by working parties to "Stff park" as
! called II.
A man with anything on his mini
ought not to 20 to the front-line
trenches. Re viii be crazy inside Of

care whether It rains or SHOWS: there
are plenty OF important things to
worry about.

TAKE SALTS ID
 FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or Bladder troubles you-Salts is
 fine fer Kidneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eat CTS of meat must flush the kidneys occa- sionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dig ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids and flush of the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take table spoonful in glass of water before break fast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders dis appear This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate slug gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. lad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and bladder diseases.

 Now that the Fourth Liberty Loan is oversubscribed we must all get down to our knitting in doing many other things to help win the war.

There will be lots of lives lost and indeed a great sacrifice yet for US to make.

Big Feed Crops in 1918.

Notwithstanding all our boasting
about our increased production of
feeding stufs in the South during
1917, there is not enough feed in
the Cotton Belt, cas-, of the Missis-
sippi River, to feed the livestock on
hand. OF all the failures of the
Southern farmers in livestock pro-
duction, and there have been many
of them, none has been so general
or so fatal as this one of failure to
provide sufficient feeds.
No farmer can afford to feed live
stock who does not produce an
abundance of good roughage for
them. He can afford to buy a cheap
concentrated feed like cotton-seed
meal, but he cannot afford to buy
roughage.
The year 1918 should be marked
in the South, by the production Of
more silage, hays and other rough
age than ever before in our history.
The reasons are so sound and all
compelling that there can be no ar
gument in the case, and to fail in
this duty will be fatal. l.-Progressive

Death Of Mr.. Jacob S. Smith

county has sustained an inestimabie
loss in the death of Mr.. Jacob s.

ternoon at his home in Johnston.

The things that are highest, noblest
and best. His life was a tower of
strength in his community. He was
not only a steward in the Methodist
church but lived actively and open
ly every day in the week what he
professed on the Sabbath day. Mr.
Smith was in his list year, having
rendered gallant service in the Civil
War. He was reared in Saluda
county but has been making his
home in this county for the past 20
years or more, having served Edge
field county in the house of repre-
sentatives in 1898, declining re-elec-
tion after serving one term.
Besides his beloved wife, Mr..
Smith is survived by three sons, IT.
vim, Earle and Jacob Smith, and
six daughters, Misses Myrtis, Sue
Ella and Olar Smith and Mrs. Wal
ter Sawyer and Mrs. Joe S. Smith.

man, presided over the business and
historical sessions.

useful garments. 1t was mentioned
that the boys need more than one
sweater, many of them sleeping in
them during the recent intensely
cold weather.
A message of thanks from the
State Regent, Mrs. Dnvall, was
given in regard to the splendid con-
tribution made for the sailors on the

ter's amount was sent at the last

j. II. Cantelou in December for the
French orphan.

as members Of the chapter.
The historical programme con-
sisted of some incidents concerning
the -- Indians, Miss Annie

from Hiawatha, giving the legend
of the origin of Indian corn. This
was greatly enjoyed and appreciated
by the chapter.
Miss Florence Minis read patri-
otto poem by Robert w. Lewice,
and at the close Mrs. Clisby served
very simple and dainty refresh
ments.
The roll was responded to by
New Year Reflections by each men,
ber. This Meeting was one of the
pleasantest of the winter season.
