LIEUT.. JOHN WALKER
IS SERIOUSLY INJURED
THREE TELEGRAMS TELL OF Ac.
ClDENT-INJURED BY TRAIN
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Tuesdays Daily Herald


Lieut.. John Walker, of William
sport, was seriously injured this morn
ing by train. This information was
received this morning by his mother
Mrs. J. R. Walker, in three kilograms,
one from the surgeon, one from the
chaplain and one from the Red Cross.
Each of the kilograms said that Lieut..
Walker was seriously injured, but
none of them gave any details as to
how the accident occurred.
Lieut.. Walker was at home few
weeks ago and went from here to
Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S. c.,
but it was known that he was to be
transferred from that camp soon. The
kilograms were sent from Rocky
Mountain, North Carolina, and the
supposition is that he was on his way
to another camp when the accident
occurred.
Lieut.. Walker left Columbia with
a draft increment only few months
ago and quickly won promotion as a
second lieutenant.

new WORK OR FIGHT ORDER
Will Have Teeth In II and No Man In
Draft Ages Be Permitted to Con-
tlnue In Non-Essentlal Positions
Farm Labor Situation.

DR. B. ]. Ware, director of Ten
nessee of eht U. s. employment SER
vice, was in Columbia Tuesday In con-
sultation with James M. Dedman,
local representative, relative to the
labor situation in this section of the
state. He found the local office do
ing good work and helping to relieve
the shortage of labor at the great
government plants at Hadley's Bend,
Muscle Shoals and Nitro, w. Va.
DR.. Ware in an interview with The
Herald held out some hope that the
government plants will be completed
within the next six weeks or two
months and large quantity of labor
released for the farms OF Tennessee.
Completion Of the work, however, will
depend entirely upon the immediate
supply of labor.
1t was explained by DR.. Ware that
farm demands and all other demands
for labor must be made secondary to
the emergency of constructing the
powder plant, and that the farms must
draw their labor supply from soruces
that heretofore have never been
touched. Ue
1.-THE new work or fight regulations
are going to have teeth in them," he
said, land no man in the country with.
in the new draft ages is going to be
permitted to continue in non-essential
positions" He stated that the gov.
eminent will soon issue a priorities
list that will indicate to every man
and every employer just where he
stands.
Time is the great consideration of
the government in all of its industries
and for that reason there has neces-
sarily been some waste Of material
and labor, but the results have been
such as to justify this expediency, in
the opinion of DR.. Ware.

Official Song
Liberty Loan

Special to The Herald.
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 21.-Have you
tried For Your Boy and My Boy" on
your piano?
Better get familiar with the air, for
you'll be called upon to sing 1t soon,
on at least to poin in the chorus,
which goes like this:
For your boy and my boy
And all of the boys out there,
Let's lend our money to the U. S. A.
And do our share.
Every bond that we are buying
Will help to hold the fighting line,
Buy bonds, buy bonds,
For your boy and mine.
That's the official song of the
Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign. The
authors are Gus Kahn and Egbert Van
Alstyne, and it is prepared for solo
voices, male quartets, choruses, brass
bands, the piano and the phonograph
The Liberty Loan committee is
sending out thousands of copies to
bands, schools, Sunday schools, local
committees, and everywhere they can
be used. In the army camps all over
the South the bandmasters are leading
their musicians in the air. The camp
song leaders are teaching it to their
men, and whenever the marching col
umns swing out on hike across coln-
try they sing. "For your boy and my
boy"
The new song has swinging march
rythm that makes an instant appeal,
and it isn't at all heard to learn or
hard to sing. 1t gives promise Of
crowding "Over There" into the dis
card this fall.

THE KINGS DAUGHTERS
TO SERVE BIG Dinner
AN ANNUAL EVENT BY THIS SOC
lETY TO RAISE MONEY FOR
WINTER CAMPAIGN.

On the first Monday in October, the
Kings Daughters will serve their an
nual dinner. This dinner is always a
big event in the Circle work. 1t is not
only a great undertaking which the
Kings Daughters gladly assume but
it has also become very popular
throughout the whole county In fact
it has become a recognized institution
and the first Monday in October has
been set apart by all other societies
as Kings Daughters Dinned Day
1t is the method by which The
Kings Daughters make the money
which largely takes care of their
many charities through the winter.
1t means much hard work and much
planning on their part but they cheer
fully and unselfishly undertake it
every year in order that they might
be able to put little cheer and bright
ness into a few lives that are all too
Swallowed.
However, much one may, in the
beginning. have questioned the advis-
ability Of building hospital in Colum-
bia, it is perfectly safe to say that no
one questions it now. 1t has demon
strated too clearly its great usefulness
in, not only caring for the charity
cases of the town, but has been an
untold blessing to those who are able
to pay The hospital is nearly always
full and could BIO kept so If it were
twice as large. But 1t Is not always
self.supporting and the Guided Cir
Gle" is often called upon for help.
This with caring for numberless char
ity cases is the way they spend the
5000 which they usually clear at the
October dinner.
The expenses of the dinner are
usually very small owing to the gen.
crosby of the many friends of the
Kings Daughters who come forward
from year to year with their splendid
donations. Some of the friends who
give so literally, live miles and miles
in the country but on the first Mon
day in October whether it rain or
shine. they come with their eggs and
hams and hens. etc.
In these days of great war aetivi-
ties. which are SO right and are done
so gladly. it is earnestly asked that
we do not neglect or forget the suffer
ing at home. The advance in wages
is not commensurate with the high
cost of living, as we all know. and
there is bound to be much distress
even among those who are able To-
uu-k

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. %
The State Council of National De
Tense is in receipt of telegram from
Washington to the effect that because
of the present shortage of million
| and half skilled and unskilled labor.
ers in war industries, with an increas
ing army coming, the most drastic
instructions are today being issued
by the Secretary of Labor to all COM
munity boards in the country urging
them to prepare and publish in every
city a list of non-essential positions
held by man, which could be filled by
the employment of women.
Dr.. Weber spoke Sunday to large
crowd at the First Methodist church
in Mt. Pleasant where he made deep
impression upon the people there.
The result will be that men who
now hold positions in non-essential
industries will be requested to find
employment in essential work, or else
be classed as slackers. Those who
fail or refuse to comply with the re-
quest will be indicted into the army
According to the message from
Washington the lists will probably
include clerks and office help, ticket
sellers of all kinds, attendants and
similar occupations. This order is in
line with Gen. Crowder's work or
fight edict and with the instructions
issued by the War Industries Board
curtailing unnecessary building, bank
loans and the taking of raw materials
from non-essential industries.
Community labor boards will insist
that no man shall occupy position
which a woman can fill.
This order is made necessary be-
cause employers of labor in non-essen-
tial industries have, in many cases,
failed to meet the issue squarely.
Maj. Rutledge Smith, Chairman of
the State Council of Defense, says
that Tennessee will live up to every
thing the Government expects, and
those men who persist in holding
down a job woman can fill, will eth
er find work in essential industries or
be put in the Stacker class.
Tennessee employers of labor in
essential plants will not be per-
mitted to interfere in any manner
with the war program" he declared,
land those who think they can put
their own private interest above that
of Uncle Sam, will be sadly mistaken.
''This work or fight order means
exactly what it says, and it is going to
be applied in Tennessee. Every man
who is employed in non-essential
industry, or who is holding down job
a woman can fill had better get out
and find mans work or else he will
be indicted into the army.
There is going to be no foolishness
about this order in this state" says
Maj. Smith, because when the Gov.
eminent wants anything done in Ten
nessee that very thing will be DONE"
