SIGNIFICANCE or Army RANK
Explapetlon Concerning the Insignia
Of Various Officers That 10 M9fc
or Less Romantic.

Because gold is a more precious
metal than silver, not few civilians
confess ignorance of the reason for
gold bars on second lleutenant's
shoulder straps and silver bars on
those OF a first lieutenant. Through.
ont the rank of army insignias gold
appears to be subordinated. Moss
Officers Manual explains the sig
niticance:
'Srhe. second lieutenant stands on
the level ground, looking up to his
superiors at varying attitudes above
him. He begins to climb toward the
top. his first step being the lower bar
Of the fence, which position Is typifed
by the one bar of the first lieutenant.
Upon reaching the top OF the fence the
officer wears two bars, which repre-
sent the bottom and top bars Of the
fence, from which point he can now.
as captain survey the field From The
fence, the officer must climb to the
branches of the oak. the tree Of might
and strength. It IL a long climb and
symboIizes the marked difference that
exists between the company and the
field officer. The gold leaf on the
majors shoulder strap symbolIses this
position. The next step Is 70 the tall
est tree Of the forest. the straight, tow
erIDg. silver poplar, with no branches
for many feet from the ground Al
though this point Of vantage Is some
what higher than that Of the oak. Il
IS not materially 30. and the duties
and responsibilities 81 the position are
about the same. The officer Is now
among the silver leaves Of the poplar,
which fact is typified by the silver
leaf Of the lieutenant colonel. The

the towering poplar. The next step n

1919.
The armistice signed at midnight Sunday
brought to close at o'clock Monday morn
ing the greatest war in the history Of the world
and one in which the United States had play
ed conspicuously important part. Without
detracting from the credit which must be freely
accorded to our allies, and with full acknowl-
edgement Of the stupendous sacrifices they have
made, it must still be conceded that without the
participation of this country, with its immense
resources, Germany would have forced her
hldeous mlitarlsm upon conquered world.
While the news that hostilities had ceased
did not evoke the boisterous celebration that oc-
CURED on last Thursday, when the premature
news of peace was flashed over the country, the
qualification caused was none the less general
and perhaps more sincere. Certain y it was
displayed in most fitting manner, namely, the
saHanuution Of the United War Woik- gam
n.
WFrom one end Of St. Mary's to the other our
loyal people, regardless Of class or creed joined
together in concentrating the end OF the war
by universal and generous giving towards fund
that will be used to relieve our boys from the
dangerous monotony Of routine garrison duty.
In no better way could St. Mary's have cele-
brated the glorious end Of the war, which
brings an increased need for the fund which the
seven great camp welfare organizations will use
to furnish entertainment and some measure Of
home comfort to our soldiers. Their work is
only half done. The winning Of the war will
be an empty victory unless it is followed by the
establishment Of lasting peace.
For months perhaps for years, the United
States must furnish her quota OF the troops who
will maintain, during the process Of reconslruc-
lion, the peace they have SO valiently won. A
citizen soldiery, fresh from the excitement Of
battle, will be beset by all the dangers that ac-
company military service in time Of peace, dan
gers from which it is all the more necessary to
shield them because they are moral rather than
physical.
Most Of the districts Of the county have all
ready reached their quotas and the others, which
were little late in getting started, are now well
organized. and there IS no doubt that they will
raise their allotments and put the county safely
over the top
This is truly remarkable accomplishment
especially as it has been done without meetings
OF speakers, with no literature to advertise the
campaign, and with absolutely no assistance
from any source outside Of the county.
Ii is all due to the thoroughness with which
the county has been organized under the drec-
tion Of Prof. Geo. w. JOY, the county chair
man, whose plan Of campaign has been to reach
every family and to raise the fund by large
number Of small subscriptions rather than to
place the burden on few people
The fund that ST. Mary's will raise during
this. the first week Of peace, will mean more to

WITHIN THE TOWN

A long drought that had begun to
weigh heavily on the gardens, was
broken last Monday evening with a
fine rain.
The series of revival services being
conducted at the Charlotte Street
Baptist church, by the pastor, Rev. Is.
H. Waugh, assisted by Rev. H. j. Sni-
der of Rock Hill, are growing IN in
terest and the attendance Is quite sat-
isfactory. Services are being held each
evening. Just how long the meeting
will continue has not yet been decided.
DIR. T. Lamar Glenn has finished
his course at the Alabama Polytechnic
institute, and Is now n full fiedgcd
veterinarian, with the degree Of d. V.
NJ, doctor OF veterinary medicine).
Having attained his majority since the
reg istration Of last year, he registered
for the draft last Wednesday. and is
holding himself in readiness for SER
vice whenever called, either as an en-
listed man in the National army. or as
n member of the officers reserve
corps. Until he goes into the military
service, he expects to practice his pro-
fession, with headquarters here.
The business people of this town
should get together and insist upon
the establishment of the machinery for
the public weighing and grading OF
cotton, This is a badly needed reform.
II is necessary to lift the town out OF
the sloughs In which 1t has struggled
for 10 these many years. The people
of the country surrounding. or ma
jority of them. would very much like
to see the establishment of a public
weighing and grading system. They
would approve such a move most
heartily. But il the public weighing
and grading system Is to be establish
ed at all. 1t must be done by the
business people of the community. The
sellers Of cotton in the outlying districts
do not care enough about the matter
to take 1t in hand themselves. They
are free to go where they please. and
they do 1t. They hunt nearby cOmpc-
tition. If, however, they felt assured
of the existence of competition here.
which assurance a public platform
would amply establish, the place would
become a far better cotton market
than 1t has ever been.
Will or will II not he in the d.
rection OF saving OF time. labor and ex-
pense, to put a stop to the delivery of
goods by grocery and other merchants
or to work out a scheme where sim
gle common delivery service may make
deliveries for all? The question has
been receiving more or less considern-
ton at the hands Of the people OF the
community and Of the merchants.
While the plan looks practicable. there
are objections to 1t. One merchant
puts II this way: 1t Is cheaper for me
to deliver goods as / am dsing than
to have the customers come to the
store, buy what they want and take
the goods away. How? Easy enough.
Under the present arrangement. I get
more than rs per cent Of my business
