With Less Than Fourth of
Original Strength

Cheraw, Nov. 19.-Several weeks
ago the newspapers carried the story
that company Of American troops
had gone too far ahead of the main
body of attacking forces and had been
surrounded by the Germans for sew
cral days, when they were discovered
and rescued by body Of Canadians,
Eeing then short of ammunition and
rations. Letters from Somewhere in
france now say that this was the
Cheraw company G OF the One Hun
dred and Eighteenth Regiment, Thir-
tieth Division) Company l, First
Regiment, South Carolina National
Guard). The company has been bri-
gaded with the Britisi, army, and that
IS why so little was heard here of its
work.
The company went into the war
with 2iS men and it comes out with
only 81 1t lost in killed, wounded and
prisoners 191. Every officer with the
company was killed extMpt Captain
Gillespie, who is reported to have been
severely wounded The casualty lists,
CT course, went to England, whence
they were sent back to General PERISH
ing, but in so jumbled form that he
returned them for corrections.
1t is hoped that Lieut.. w. A. Mul-
10y of this company, who was reported
killed few days ago, is among the
prisoners taken by the Germans. He
was seen to fall, but after the drive
his body could nowhere be found and
1t Is hoped that he was taken prisoner.

" fresh meat it takes some time for
the money to return to the company's
Golfers after the actual sale is made.
"The commission says that the
packers profit Of one quarter of a
cent per pound on beef amounts to So
ton as compared to only rs cents
per ton profit on coal. AS matter of
worth at Wholesale at present about
$A00, whereas a ton of anthracite coal
at tidewater is worth only about 81.
Compare SIS profit on $40O sale
with 25 cent profit on a 81 sale. The
beef profit is only about I IA per
cent, coal profit over 3 1-2 per cent.
"In 1917 Swift & Co. filled over
30,000,000 orders of all products with
a total of about 2O0,0O0,0OO items, a
large part Of which had to be weighed

delivered in car lots or ton lots"

Joseph Pilsudski, the military head
OF the Polish government and the
popular idol of Poland, spoke freely
today with the correspondent rela-
tive to the situation in this country.
THE Jewish question is most diff
ticult for Poland" he said. "One of
the best proofs of our tolerance to-
ward the Jews may be found in the
fact that they were permitted TO
participate in the recent election.
"a special commission is investt-
eating the alleged pogroms at Lem
berg. It has been established that
the first act Of the Ukrainians after
occupying that city, was to release
prisoners from the jails. These pris-
oners began to pillage the city and
disorders naturally arose.
When Polish patrols entered the
Lemberg Ghetto they were fired
upon from windows and hot water
was poured upon them.

THE trouble between Poles and
the Jews is the outgrowth of the III
disposition Of the Poles to meet our

Wilson's declarations. The nation
alistie idea has been growing for so
years but has developed among Jews
only recently. We have aspirations
similar to the Czechs and Serbians

agitation began 40 years ago when
Poles were urged to take up land,
open small stores and overcome

ton. After the present war broke
out the Jews hoped to gain political
freedom but friction between the

Alceste De Ambris, chief of the

misses by a small group OF men in the

filled with fighting men.
Several shots were fired without
doing any damage and knives and
chairs were used as weapons by the
struggling men until one hundred
patrolmen and detectives responding
to a riot call arrived on the scene
and stopped the conflict. Several
men were injured but not seriously.

EASTERN FARMERS MUST
INCREASE WHEAT YIELD

Eastern Carolina farmers are
going right ahead with plans to
grow sufficient wheat to bread
themselves next year. Great in
terest is being shown in the
Governments request for more
wheat from North Carolina.
lnasmuch as Western North
Carolina already grows a large
acreage of wheat Eastern farm
ers will be looked 10 for most of
the increase of 10000 acres
which is ten per cent over last
year. The Agricultural Extensi-
on Service published $1,000
copies of Extension Circular No.
Il, Growing Wheat In Eastern
North Carolina, and the demand
has been so great from farmers
in the Coastal territory that the
supply is almost exhausted.
Reports of the preparation
being made for sowing wheat
are daily reaching the Extension
Service. District Agent R. W.
Freeman of Wilson says that
much interest is shown in all
Eastern counties from Wilson to
Dare and from Northampton to
Brunswick. County Agents are
busy making arrangements to
provide good seed wheat so that
1t will be easily accessible to
farmers who desire good seed.
The following extract from the
weekly field report of County
Agent Pace of Brunswick Coun-
ty is an example of the way the
Farm Demonstration Agents are
helping with this important Gov
eminent project.
An order for $40 bushels of
seed wheat was placed this
week. The outlook for wheat on
every farm in Brunswick is good
at present. We will order as much
as the farmers want and the
Citizens Bank of Shallotte is glad
to lend money to any farmer who
needs it for purchasing Seed"
Mr.. Freeman says there will
be a great Liberty Harvest in
this section next year and every
farmer will eat biscuits made of
wheat from his own bin if the
Governments campaign con-
tinues as it has begun.
