Greer, March 21.-The Victor Mill
village was the scene Of two affrays
this afternoon, both Of which were Of
a serious nature, and one at least

legs this afternoon by another resi-
dent Of the village, whose name, ac-
cording to police officials here, ia

a shot gun, and local physicians say
that the injured man may lose at
least one Of his limbs as result Of
the wound. Details of the shooting

About a half hour later serious

DAYLIGHT SAVING FOR u. :.
President Signs Bill-All Clocks to
BE Run Up an Hour.

Washington, March 30.--The day
light saving bill was signed to-day
by President Wilson. 1t puts all
clocks forward an hour on the last
Sunday in March and turns them
back again the last Sunday in Octo-
ber.
The daylight saving plan will 80
into effect and be observed without
the slightest disorganization or i'm
pairment Of existing conditions.
Trains will be run as usual, the
every feature Of daily life into which
the element Of time enters will re-
main unchanged.
Before retiring on the last Satur-
day night Of this month the American
householder will set his clock an
hour ahead, and then may go to
sleep and forget entirely about day
light saving until the last Saturday
OF October. On that date he will re-
verse the process, turning back the
hands Of the clock an hour and the
next day the nation again will run on
"sun" time.
In the summer time the American
man actually will rise. transact his
daily business and retire all an hour
earlier than has been his CUSTOM but
with his clock an hour fast he will
not know the difference. An hour of
daylight thus will be conserved in
the afternoon.
The plans practicability and eff
cheney have been cffectually demon
strated in twelve European countries
Advocates of the plan in present
ing their case to Congress explained
that the following beneficial results
would be achieved by the SYSTEM
A great saving Of illuminants. such
rs oil, gas and electrical power.
Marked conservation Of coal
Increased manufacturing produc-
ton as the result of improvements in
working conditions.
General benefits to the national
health because OF an additional hour
Of daylight which may be devoted to
recreation
Reduction in the cost OF living to
some who can raise garden truck for
domestic consumption: and
Improvement Of the training con-
ditions for the fighting forces.

Berlin Announces Capture of 10000
British Prisoners and 200 G. ns--I
Germans Paid Fearful Price for but
Small Gains, Says British Report.

Austrian army for assistance in their
effort to carry The battle to the elA-
tente allies, for the official reports
from Berlin say that Austro-Uunga-
rian artillery is engaged along the
western front. 1t is probable that
the great Austrian howitzers, or Sko-
das. have been used against the
stronger sectors Of the British lines.
The Battle Front.
From Vendueli north to the River
Scarpe is distance OF nearly nifty
miles, and the beginning by the Ger
man artillery of 4 heavy lombard
ment along this wide front may mean
that preparation for the much-adver-
tiscd German offensive in the west
has been begun. The preparatory
work was due to begin to-day if the
advance announcements were t. he
taken at their face value, judgin :
from the news Of a day or two ago
that party OF neutral correspond
ents has been invited by the German
front on Wednesday "to witness the
offensive"
1t is, OF course, Impossible to say
whether the present burst Of artil
lery fire on this front means that it
Is along the line indicated, or some
where within its limits that the
heavy German blow, if one indeed is
coming, is to be struck There is
the consideration that the lombard
ment In this particular area may be
a feint, to cover Il stroke in an alto
grther different sector. The most
natural conclusion, however, is that
the drive is to be made at some point
in the area now under fire.
This area embraces most Of the
territory outside of Flanders, over
which the British haye been fighting,
sometimes alone and sometimes in
conjunction with the French, for the
last two years. 1t takes in, for in
stance, the entire field Of the battle
Of the Somme, fought III the fall of
1916, and great part OF the area
evacuated by the Germans the FOL,

Within these limits also is the bat
tlefield OF Cambria, where the Brit

won victories in last falls lighting.
Virtually all the territory fought
over In the great battle Of Arras dur
ing the spring Of 1917 also lies in

LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON on TOES
Tells Why II Corn Is So Painful and
Says Cutting Makes them Grow.

Press an electric button and you
form contact with live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes
press against your corn it pushes its
sharp roots down upon sensitive
nbrve and you get a shock Of pain.
Instead Of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
quarter Of an ounce OF freezone.
This will cost very little, but Is suf-
ficient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callua from ones feet. A few
drops applied directly upon tender,
aching corn stops tho soreenss in
stantly, and soon the corn shrivels up
so it lifts right out, root and ail,
without pain. This drug free2one Is
harmless and never inflames or even
irritates the surrounding skin
