MARROW ESCAPE FROM DEAYH
Mr.. and Mrs. ID. ID. McRae have CIoeo
Call when Auto Turns Turtle.

The following from the Lumber
ton Robesonian will be of interest
to many persons in this section, and
particularly Of the Minturn section,
where Mr.. McRae is engaged In the
mercantile business:
How did the occupants escape
death? was the question many asked
this morning as they viewed two
passenger Maxwell automobile which
had rolled down a 10-foot eMbanlE-
ment just beyond the river on the
Stage road. The car belonged to MI
d. d. McRae Of Minturn, s. c., and
Mr.. and Mrs. McRae were in the ear
when it ran of the embankment last
night about 1880. Both the sAeu-
pants were pinned in the mud under
meath the car. Mr.. McRae nanaSed
to get from under the car and tive
colored men rushed to his rescue
They lifted the automobile OF Mrs.
McRae, whose face was buried In the
mud and who was almost smothere&
to death when rescued. She was Hn-
conscious and could not speak for
some time. Mrs. McRae was carried
to the Thompson hospital and soon
apparently was none the worse 0E
from her experience. Mr. McRoe's
hands were slightly cut b. pieces Of
the windshield.
"Mr. McRae lost control of the ear
when the steering rod came loose and
his breakes were not sufficient to stop
the car. The automobile was badly
damaged.
Mr.. and Mrs. McRae spent yester-
day here visiting at the home Of
Mrs. McRae's parents, Mr.. and Mrs
R. N. Cashwell, and were returning
home"

HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS
Use OF Waterglass Solution Is One
Of the Best Methods

Surplus eggs, preserved in the
spring, will supply the home with
good eggs in the fall and winter,
when eggs are hard to get and are
fhigh-priced.
Eggs to be preserved must he
fresh. and should be placed in the
preserving container as soon as pos
sible after they are laid. One of
the best methods of preserving is by
the use of waterglass. a pale yellow
odorless. sirupy liquid that can be
bought by the quart or gallon from
the druggist or poultry supply man.
1t should be diluted in the proper
tion Of part of watergiass to 9
parts OF water which has been boil
ed and allowed to cool. Earthen-
ware crooks or jars are the best con-
tainers. since their glazed surface
prevents chemical action from the
solution. The crooks or cans should
be scalded and allowed to cool be-
fore they are used. A container
holding gallons will accommodate
Is dozen eggs and will require one
quart Of waterglass.
Half I'LL the container with the
waterglass solution and place the
eggs in 1t. Eggs can be added from
day to day as they are obtained,
making sure that the eggs are cover
ed by about inches Of waterglass
solution. Cover the container and
place it in cool place where it will
not have to be moved. Look at it
from time to time, and II there seems
to be danger Of too much evapora-
ton, add sufficient cool boiled water
to keep the eggs covered Eggs re-
moved from the solution should be
rinsed in clean, cold water. Before
they are boiled holes should be pick
ed in the large ends with a needle
preserving eggs and is slightly less
to prevent them from cracking.
Limewater also is satisfactory but
far less expensive than waterglass. A
solution Is made by placing or 3
pounds Of unslaked lime in s gal
Ions OF water which has been boiled
and allowing the mixture to stand
until the lime settles and the LIQUID
Is clear. The eggs should. be placed
ton lint with 1852 per cent. Other
suitable vessel and covered to a
depth Of inches with the liquid
Remove the eggs as desired, rinse in
clean. cold water, and use immed-
lately.

Consolidation Of the position has
been continued. and the series Of

almost hopeless task. No infantry

TOBACCO PLANTS SHORT
Recent DrOuth Killed Many Plant
Beds I'm Lower Dillon.

Mayor Arnett. Of Lake View, who
was here Monday attending court
reports that many tobacco beds in
his section have been destroyed by
the recent drought. Mayor Arnett
says the outlook for a normal crop
is not very promising. The only
plants that survived the six week S
drought were those in low damp
places. Mr.. Arnett said he managed
to save the most OF his plants by
watering them. He will have
enough plants to fill his require
ments but many farmers in this sec
ton will have to reduce their tobac.
CO acreage unless they can get plants
from some one who has more than
he needs.

MANY MAKE INCOME RETURNS
Deputy Collector jenkins had Busy
Week i'm Dillon

Deputy Collector Jenkins returned
to Florence Saturday night after
spending the week in Dillon assist
ing in making out income tax re-
turns. Mr.. Jenkins had a very busy
week ard was a very tired man when
q Herald representative saw him late
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Jenkins
says there are many persons in Dill
lon who have not made their returns
and that he will ask Collector Hey
ward to send another man to Dillon
before, March 31st. He is not GER
tain, however, that Collector Hey
ward can send q man and he advises
those who have not made returns
not to wait on The coming of another
representative. The time expires
March 31st and after that date the
penalty attaches.
1t is claimed that the government
will get approximately $25O,0OO out
OF Dillon County this year. Crops
were fairly good and the high prices
obtained for farm products brought
hundreds of farmers within the ex-
cess war profits tax. This tax ap
plies to all persons whose net pro-
hts were in e1ces of $4,000. 1t is
reported that one large farmer and
business man was taxed $4,000
while numbers of others were asked
to pay amounts ranging from $1,00
to pay amounts ranging from $1,000
ers were taxed from 500 to 5000
while several merchants were heavy
contributors. The banks have been
taxed pretty heavy and the sum to-
tai Of collections will run we'll into
the 100000 mark.

Hold Your Liberty Bonds

One who subscribes for a Liberty
Bond and gets credit as a patriot for
doing SO is not acting that bond,
that is. unless he imperatively needs
the money, says Secretary McAdoo
1t Is not the mere subscription that
helps the Government. it is actual
lean; shifting the bond to some one
else does not help.
The same objection lies to e1-
changing Liberty Loan Bonds in
trade. Merchants Offering to take
Liberty Loan Bonds in exchange for
merchandise are doubtlessly actuat-
ed BY patriotic motives. but such
transactions tend to defeat pri-
mary object of the bond sale, the en-.
couraging of thrift and the descour-
aging of expenditures. Bonds 30 ex-
changed are In most cases immed-
lately sold on the open market which
tend to deprsss tho market price and
act adversely the sales Of future
issues.
Secretary HcAdoo expressly stat
es that there is no desire on the part
of the Government to prevent or in
terfers with legitimate trading, in
good faith. In Liberty Bonds.
It is one Of the great objects Of
the Treasury Department to have
these bonds held IS permanent in
vestments by the people and paid for
out Of savings. thus at once provid-
ing funds for the Government and
conserving labor and material.
There are the soundest reasons
for holding Liberty Bonds. Their
quotations under par on the stock
exchange means a loss only to those
who sell. The financial history Of
the United States show that in times
of peace all Of its bonds have gone
above par. some as high as 139. The
tremendous growth Of our resources
and Of our trade. our domestic trade
alone having increased from $780,
000.000.0QO to $64,0OO,OOO,O0O in
the last four years. warrants the be-
lief that our Government bonds are
the soundest investments in the
world and with the restoration
Of peace conditions will command a
handsome premium in the market.

TEUTONS Make RAID
ON AMERICAN LINES
MORE APPARENTLY DESIGNED
10 GET INFORMATION
Much Heavy Fire and Gas Shells Fall
in Both the Toul and Lune-
Vile Sectors

With the American Army in
France, Saturday. March 16.-(By
the Associated Press. y After a ter
rife artillery, preparation this morn
ing, large numbers Of enemy crossed
jNo-Man's-Land on the extreme right
OF the American sector northwest, of
Toul. Apparently the purpose of the
raid was quickly accomplished. On
ly comparatively small number en-
tered our lines. Permission has not
been given to mention the number of
casualties.
This raid, like most Of the others
carried out all the way from the sea
to Switzerland. was designed to get
information by means of taking pris-
oners.
East Of Luneville our patrols have
explored part of the German trench
which our artillery forced the enemy
to abandon. Patrol proceeded liter
ally until they established contact
with the Germans. Our reconnois-
sance and wire patrol found snipers'
post. listening posts and nests from
which machine guns had been firing
on ourslines. The artillery attended
to all these posts. The German posi-
tions have been SO uncomfortable at
several places that they now are
trying to regain a foothold by con-
Meeting shell holes. Our troops have
been subjected to an extraordinarily
heavy artillery fire for the last twen-
ty-four hours. More than 24O shells
which made craters twenty feet deep
and thirty feet in diameter fell in
one section of the line. In another
batteries have been shelled heavily.
More gas shells have fallen in both
the Toul and Luneyille sectors. but
the larger number in the former.

Sonnard wood. Several other places
where activity was observed also
were shelled.
New German troops have entered

Apparently they have been told they
are opposite Americans because
many times the new arrivals have
