y Clean Up Day for Dillon.

Why not have a 'Clean-Up Day"
for Dillon? Visitors usually judge
town by the way IN which its streets
are kept. Now would Dillon stand
the test if thus judged? Next week
there will be about one hundred Wis
itors in town. They will be delegates
10 the Womans Missionary Confer
ence to be held in the Methodist
church here. These ladies will come
from all over the South Carolina
Conference and will carry impress
SionS away to be talked about every
where. We suggest next Monday,
May eth. as "Clean-up Day" for our
town. The street forces may not
be able to do all the work on the
streets. therefore let every man clean
the side walk in front of his own
premises. Let the yards, both front
land rear, be cleaned Be sure to
get all the old cans, for these are the
breeders of mosquitoes. The Civic
League can help greatly in this work
by urging the people to observe the
day and carefully carry out the sug-
sestion. OF course, there is great
difficulty in securing help of any kind
just now, but the boys and girls, who
Will then be out of school, can rem
der valuable assistance. 1t Will be
splendid recreation for them Many
OF them have worked their brains
so hard during the school term that
this outdoor physical exercise will be
beneficial to them.
Let everybody take up the thought
OF Clean Up Day" plan for il, and
he sure TO carry out the suggestion
on Monday, May 27th. Clean up Dill
lon. Clean up Dillon. Clean up

The Red Cross.

The great Red Cross drive for
one hundred million dollars is on
this week. Speaking of the Amer
phus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy
has the following to say:
The Red Cross recognizes neith-
er party. nor race, nor creed. 1t is
worldwide in scope and humane in
purpose. 1t has no political nor
economic ends to serve. 1t only asks
where it can be helpful to men and
women in distress-afflicted by di-
sease. overtaken by some sudden dis
aster or caught in the ordeal of war.
There it finds its place and oppor-
tunity. There it springs to serve
mankind.
The Red Cross is the Great Neigh
Dor, it treats every man as brother,
and asks no return. If the world of
toiling people is made a little more
comfortable, little happier, a lit
tie stronger for the struggle of life
through it's effort, the Red Cross is
content. And while it is not af-
filiated exclusively with any religious
body, it is essentially Lay Brother
hood and Sisterhood of all denomi-
nations, putting in practice the
teachings of all religions, s,-unsel-
fish service and good deeds. The
works of mercy which it is banded
together to accomplish are the re-.
suit and evidence of its noble since
rity and inspiring faith.
I'm the great emergency of the
present war the Red Cross is doubly
enlisted. In all it does to help us to
win, it is helping to save and main
tain those ideals of faithfulness and
honor, kindness and loyalty on its
own existence rests.
And every man, woman and
child who realizes this-relizes the
peril we are in-and who can help
the Great Cause in no other way, can
at least support the generous efforts
of the Red Cross. 1t is the best
equipped agency in the world to
bring succor in the day when only
organized and well dirtcted help can
avail"

The correspondent says he draws
the conclusion from oral statements
of an authentic witness. whose OBJ
servationS extended up To the end of
April. The great masses of the Ger
man and Austrian peoples. this in
formation declares. are more than
SICK OF the war. They think and
talk of nothing but bread. and their
morale is so low that the govern
ments are fearful of BolSheviki
movements
! Among the incidents given in sup
ports of the story of terrible want is
the case of two prisoners of war em-
ployed at the gas works in Vienna,
who. he declares, were murdered by
fellow workers. who ate part Of their
bodies. The Arbiter Zeitung, of
Vienna, demanded an investigation
and the entire issue was confiscated
in consequence. The affair was re-
ferred to in Parliament, but was
hushed up in the Vienna press
The narrator said he and his fam
lily had lived for weeks almost en-
forest outside the town in which
they dwelt.
People faint even in the streets
from hunger" he continued The
health OF many is such that they can
hardly stand. to say nothing of work.
and ii is getting more serious every
day. Even the soldiers do not have
sufficient food. They are not only
sick OF war, but thoroughly apathe-
tic regarding it. 1t is Il common sight
TO see soldiers begging for food Ev-
crybody is convinced that the ex-
pected food relief from the Ukraine
is a mirage-only another Prus-
sian swindle. they say The three
worst months-June. July and Aug
ust-are yet to come. Last year
there was almost nothing to eat in
those months but cucumberS and
fruit. Typhus and dysintery became
epidemic. The people are shuddering
at the prospects OF these three
months row"
'As far as they dare" the dis
patch says. the people jcer at the
talk Of smashing the British and
French and at the submarine cam
paisn the only result OF which. they
say, has been to add America to
their enemies. Every one made fun
of President Wilson at first as a
