In the middle of the trip the boats
engines stopped, reversed and COM
menced pounding around in an unex-
pected manner. We were sure we were
being torpedoed and expected every
minute to see the water come pouring
down the companionway. Nothing
happened, however, and we later learn
ed that we had stopped to pick up an
English aviator who, in going on his
night patrol. had had something go
wrong with his sea plane and had to
come down. After picking him up,
we proceeded to the other side, arriv-

Give Men in Ranks Credit.

Gen. Foch is of course entitled to
a large measure of credit for the AL
lied victory, but it is after all the
men behind the guns who r doing
the work. Had they failed, the we'll
laid plans of the commanding gener-
al would have failed. In speaking of
honors and successes of war, we al
ways like to see the humble private
receive his share of credit. The men
along the battlefront, more than the
men of high rank in the rear, bear
the heat and burden of the day. They
more than any other set of men, are
exposed to dangers and hardships
that try mems souls. Let's "render to
Caesar the things that are Caesars"
Give the men in the ranks what is
due them.

Ignore Americans.

With ugliness and contempt that
is characteristic, the Germans per-
sistently ignore the American troops.
Whenever a victory is won in which
the Americans and French had equal
part, in the official news given out
from Berlin the Germans never men,
ton the Americans. All along they
have deceived the German populace
by minimizing and ridiculing the fight
ing qualities of the Americans and
now to have them disillusioned at so
critical a period would have tremen-
dous weight in breaking the spirit of
the German army. In other words,
this is merely a continuance of a pol
icy adopted many months ago. The
German press, especially in southern
Germany, is %clamoring for the facts
concerning the american menace.

Plant Late Potatoes Largely.

Letters from growers in the North
and West say that there will be not
much more than %one-fourth the V
erage area planted there in potatoes.
In fact, they. say that is just about
the area planted. The great crop last
year and the low prices this spring
have had the usual effect and have
discouraged the potato growers.
The result will be an unusually
small crop in the fall and a big adj
vance in potato prices. Then in the
spring of 1919 the market will be
clear for the early crop from the
South. Hence there should be a heavy
planting of late potatoes in the
South. But to make a full crop, do
not wait till it is too late for it to
mature well. Some think August is
early enough, and perhaps it is in the
lower South, but over the larger part
of the South the middle of July is
the best time to plant late potatoes.
The best seed are the potatoes of last
fall that have been kept in cold stor-
age. Plant these of the early varieties,
Cobbler, Bliss or Early Rose. These
will make good potatoes for winter
and the best of seed potatoes for
spring planting. Supply your home
market and do not depend on the
high-priced potatoes from the North
next winter.
If you want to grow a second crop
from seed of the early crop, take per-
fectly matured potatoes and cut them
in halves. Spread out IN the ground
and cover with pine straw kept rath-
er moist. Then have the ground ready
and plant them as they show signs of
sprouting. Plant in deep burrows and
cover lightly, and later work the
earth to them till level and cultivate
level to retain moisture. Spray with
Bordeaux mixture to prevent the late
blight ard rot.-Progressive Farmer.

rrue-Blue Confederate Veterans.

True-Blue Confederate Veterans.
You find no faint of the "~slacker"
on the garments of Confederate vet
Grams. They are as ready and willing
to fight the Huns today as they
were the "Blue Coats" in the sixties.
They are also loyal to the core. One
of the brave men of the sixties. men
who never can be shown the full hon
or that is due them, remarked to the
writer Il few days ago: eff I were
a young man and had no responsible
tiles to keep me from volunteering,
I would join the army to fight the
Germans even if l knew l would be
killed. l have but one life and what
would that be worth to me if l were
unwilling to fight for my country"
That is the spirit which everyone
should manifest in this crisis. 1t is
a privilege to be able to fight for
ones country.

Rush the Ship Building.

On with the ship building! Let our
efforts be unconined. When the war
is over they will be needed to trans
port our manufactured products
abroad. Just as a merchant does not
wish to depend upon a competitors
delivery wagon to have his merchan-
disc delivered, so should a nation not
be dependent upon a competing ma
ton for the merchant ships. Ameri-
ca can not maintain commercial SUI
premacy without being entirely indie
pendent of other nations. Let tlem
lean upon us rather than have US
lean upon them. Besides, all of the
other nations will be as "broken
sticks" after the war.
Let the merchant snip building con
tinue without let or hindrance. We
will need them all and then some
more.

All War Skies Are Brighter

The sky above every field of battle
above every inch of the long line on
which the allies are fighting the bat
tie of human liberty, is growing
brighter every hour.
Over Russia even, the darkest quar-
ter of the heavens, the night is begin
ming to clear and streaks of dawn are
appearing. The forces of right and
the friends of the real people of the
land are getting closer together, are
forming into groups here and there,

Slovaks and Cossacks and Siberians

and with the soldiers that the Allies
are sending to fight with them in the
Arctic regions, and with those they
may yet send-must surely send+to

G.. Croft, of Aiken; G.. L.. Toole, of
Aiken, and N. G.. Evans, of Edge
field. Messrs. Croft and Evans
spoke first, followed by Mr.. Byrnes,
MI. Toole speaking last. Mr.. Croft
devoted practically all his speech to
a criticism of Mr.. Byrnes' record,
as did also MI. Toole. Mr.. Evans
confined his talk to a patriotic dis
cussion of the war, which he char
acterized as being the only issue be-
fore the people at this time.
The crowd was decidedly with
Mr.. Byrnes -"Jimmie"-a he is
fondiy known throughout the dis
trict. The Congressman answered
the criticism of his opponents in a
very convincing manner. 1t was
evidently satisf wing to the crowd as
he was uprously applauded. The
other candidates received modest
recognition in the way of applause
of their various patriotic utter
anceS.
Answering the charge that he
had opposed the selective service
measure, Mr.. Byrnes denied that he
had ever opposed any administra-
tive measure, and explained that
the measure he had opposed was
one that provided a draft age from
l6 to %, with exemptions only for
industrial reasons. The measure
was so imperfect in its provisions
that after being thrashed out in
committee it died a natural death
and was never presented to the
House for a vote. 1nasmuch as
this is the principal charge against
Byrnes' record, it rather threw a
bomshell into the camp of his oppo-
nents.
Mr.. Byrnes asserted that there
had been 1874 war measures intro
duced in the House and he had
votel for every one of them, and
he defed his opponents to show by
the record that he did not. He
further asserted that he enjoyed the
full confidence of the President,
and of the entire administration,
and was frequently called into con-
ference by the President on i'm
pending matters Chroni'

the latter aided by British and Italian

the Allies is beginning, as we suggest
ed it would, to menace the entire Bull
garian and Teutonic forces. The En-
tente armies are taking ground rapid

front of 200 miles from the Adrlatlc

become the one from which the death
blow to Austri$ is delivered.
On the Western front the French
have made notable gains, breaking
down the German defenses and pierre
ing their lines for a distance of more
than a mile and capturing a good
many prisoners. The positions won
are of great value in the present and
approaching operations.

broken and battered at various points
