Work or Fight.

"Work or fight l say with
Crowder! Man must earn his
pone or chowder, or secure a
gun and powder, shooting from
the Hun the slaw; for the husky
koys are needed where the far

we've argued and we've pleaded,
now we're laying down the law.
Soon the harvest will be yellow
and we'll hear the farmers bel
low for the able-bodied fellow
who can handle sheaves of
wheat; and the loafer who is
standing, chunks of elocution
landing to the public should be
landing in the country with both
feet. Long the loafers have
been petted, fed and lodged by
men who sweated for the rou-
tles they have netted, but the
day of wrath is come; toll and
wounds where battle RACES
work at home for honest wages!
Work abhorred by them for
ages! These confront the vag

haunt and haven, frowsy, fra

where crops are wavin' twill be
good to see them go: from the
Joint and pool-hall riven, unan-

fine to see them driven where
the big bullthistles grow. Work
Or fight! o words inspiring!
Work and energy untiring, for

are not built for hoeing, we can

MUCH ANXIETY FELT.
"Cyclops," With H. S. Fielder Aboard,
Can't Be Found.

Much uneasiness has been felt in
Bamberg since last Sunday morn
ing, when Mrs. n. z. Fielder re-
ceived telegram from Washington,
to the effect that the big collier "Cy-
clops," of whose crew Henry S. Eel
der is member, could not be locat-
ed. The big ship, which was return
ing from South America with a car
go of manganese, was last heard of
on March 4th. Since then the seas
have literally been combed for some
trace of her, but not the slightest
information about the ship, or its
crew had been obtained.
Henry Fielder, familiarly known as
Punch enlisted in the navy many
months ago. For some time past
he has been on the "Cyclops," and
he was one of seven South Carolin-
ians aboard when the vessel was last
heard from. The ''Cyclops" was due
at an Atlantic port on March 18th.
The following is the announcement
by the navy department:
THE United States steamship Cy-
clops, navy collier of 10000 tons dis
placement, loaded with cargo of
manganese and with a personnel on
board of Is officers and 221 men of
the crew and 81 passengers, is over
due at an Atlantic port since March
49, She last reported at one of
the West Indian islands on March 4
and since her departure from that
port no trace of her nor any inforna-
tion concerning her has been obtain
ed. Radio calls to the Cyclops from
all points have been made and ves-
sells sent to search for her along her
probable route and areas in which
she might be with no success.
mo we'll founded reason can be
given to explain the Cyclops being
overdue; no radio communication
with or trace of her has been had
since leaving the West Indian port.
The weather in the area in which the
vessel must have passed has not been
DdQ anu COulu udiuly nave given lllO
Cycops trouble. While a raider or
submarine could be responsible for
her loss, there have been no reports
that would indicate the presence OF
either in the locality in which the
Cyclops was.
t'It was known that one of the two
engines of the Cyclops was injured
and that she was proceeding at re-
duced speed with one engine COM
pounded. The fact would have no
effect on her ability to communicate
by radio for even if her main engines
were totally disabled the ship would
still be capable of using her radio
plants. The search for the Cyclops
still continues, but the navy depart
ment feels extremely anxious as to
her safety"
There have been no reports of Ger
man submarines or raiders in the To-
cality in which the collier was, the
departments statement said, the
weather has not been stormy ana
could hardly have given the collier
