Col. Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier-J ournal, has passed
his SEVENTEEN milepost on life's jour
ney, but there is no more vigorous
writer in the whole country than is
he. Here is what COL. Watterson has
to say about the war:
"We must fight: Until the Hun is
boots; until the allied flags are tri-
umphant over Potsdam, Yubadam and
Hell-fcr-Sartin; until old Hindenberg
and old Tirpitz are made to dance
the can-can in the court yard of the
Schloss to the ragtime Of Yankee
Doodle!"
In response to an appeal from the
Government that the teachers be al
lowed to assist the Local Boards in
classifying the registrants according
to their vocations, the Trustees of the
local school are giving {, holiday to-
day. At least, it is holiday for the
pupils, though the teachers probably
found it anything else. The teachers
have been giving generously Of their
time, but the work was urgent and it
was impossible for them to finish
within the required time if they had
only short period in the afternoons
for the work, hence this decision on
the part of the Trustees.

l.. M. A. Myers, principal of the col
ored school here, left Sunday for Tus-

1t will soon be time to set out to-
bacco plants. The plants are excep-
tionally healthy this year and should
we have a good growing season Clar-
endon will market the largest crop of
tobacco in its history. 1t is time for
the business people to be up and do
ing to improve our market. The mar
kets at Lake City and Kingstree were
not made the successful markets they
are by the people sitting back and
saying. "Lct the other fellow do the
work-we will sell the tobacco farm
ers our goods if they will bring their
tobacco here" No-these markets
were made by the business people or
ganizing Chambers Of Commerce and
going out into the highways and by
ways and impressing upon the farm
ers that they had the best tobacco
markets in the country. 1t is up to
Manning to do the same. Our ware
housemen, Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Cothran,
stand ready at all times to do more
than their share and they should be
backed to the limit. We want to sell
100000 pounds of our own county
tobacco this year-an increase of g.
100000 pounds-and we can easily do
it if everyone will work.
