CHURCHILL SAYS
ALLIES GREATLY
NEED MATERIALS
Immense Consumption Since Be-
ginning of New Offensive
of Huns
TELLS LOSSES OF GUNS
Shell Fire and Capture Take
1000; 1000 Machine Guns
Lost

London April 26-Winston Spence,
Churchill, introducing in the house Of
commons today the estimates for the
ministry Of munitions, of which he is
the head said that during the five
weeks since the battle in France had
opened they had been passing through
the geratest strain regarding the sup
ply Of war material that had occurred
in the experience of the ministry.
Not only had the consumption and
destruction of munitions of all kinds
been proceeding at the greatest rate,
but there also were very heavy loss.
es by capture by the enemy.
I'VE lost" the minister said, near
ly thousand guns by shell fire or
capture; between 1000 and 5000 ma
chine guns have been lost or Destroy
ed, and the quantity of ammunition,
apart from that which has been fired
and that which has ben lost in the
dumps amounted to something be-
tween one and thre weeks total manu-
facture.
"Other war materials have been u.s.
ed or lost in great variety Of class
es and on a similar scale, but by the
end of last week all the losses had
been made good and in many cases
more than made good.
Small Arm Ammunition.
"Vast quantities of small arm am.
have been lost or left behind,
but, great as the demand has been,
the expenditure in the last month did
not exceed the maximum potential ca
pacity of the British factories. with
out touching enormous reserves which
had accumulated against such con-
tingency. The WaStage OF rifles was
very great, but the losses were quite
easily and promptly made good.
"Our preparations had contemplated
a period of supreme battle intensity
from the third week of February i'll
stead of the third week of March, so
we are at present from one to three
weeks to the good. Those calcula-
tions allowed the artillery to fire dur
ing the whole fighting season consid-
erably heavier volume OF shells than
was expended weekly during the Of
fensive battles OF last year, and moro
than double the volume Of shells fired
during the terrific bombardment which
characterized the Somme offensive OF
1916. They also provided for the car
rying forward into 1919 of sufficient
reserves to allow the British total to
mount one step higher than in power
and intensity.
"In fact, barring unforeseen circum-
stances, our supply Of munitions would
enable us to carry on a battle at the
pitch of intensity until Wint-
ar without comprising our reuiqre-
nent for 1919. This is despite the
fact that hundred thousand men
we're taken from munition factories
for service in the army

Senator Tillman's Candidacy.

There will be a hearty approval
Of Senator Tiilfman's reconsidera.
ton of his decision, announced
sometime ago not to be candidate
for reelection. Pleading the war
and his wish to be of service IN its
prosecution as long as possible as
the reason for his change of mind,
he exhibits both devotion and mod
esty. All things considered, he is
better qualified than any other citi-
zen of South Carolina to represent
that State in this emergency, and ii
is to be hoped that there will be
public recognition of the fact.
In his seventy-frst year, Mr..
Tillman is now completing his
fourth term. When he entered the
Senate there were grave misgivings
because of his extreme views on
public questions, but all these were
long apo seen to be unwarranted.
However much increasing years
may have tanned his partisanship
and sectionalism, they have not
quenched the fires of his patriotism
or diminished his zeal for causes he
believes to be right.
If the people Of South Carolina
can bring about the reelection of
this veteran without opposition they
will confer distinguished honor
upon one whose merits are not to
be uuestioned.-New York World,
March 4, 1918.

Mission Study Class.

Beginning with March 20, the
mission society of the Baptist church
will hold their annual mission study
class, the book chosen being The
Romance of Missions in Nigeria. u
The class this year will have an
unusual privilege in having our be-
loved State corresponding secretary,
Mrs. J. Il. Fizer with US. Mrs. Fizer
will deliver three lectures on this
book at + o'clock each afternoon,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
To these lectures all the women of
Edge6eld are invited of all denomi-
nations, and as many from the So
cieties in the country as will find it
convenient to do so. All will be cor.
daily welcomed.
1t was suggested at the Antioch
meeting tnat if all could not attend
that any who expected to lead class
es at any time soon in this book
would be specially benefited by at
tending these lectures.
As Mrs. Fizer is coming from Co.
lumbia especially for this work, we
hope to make her coming worth
while by giving her large and ap-
preciative audiences each day.

Recruiting Station u. S. Army.

Due to the fact that the knowl-
edge which prevails among the gen.
eral public in regard to the require
ments which must be met by a man
before he is eligible for enlistment
in the army does not seem to be
very clear, the recruiting officials
for this district have sent out infor-
nation throwing light on this mat
ter and clearing up any possible
doubt which may exist in the minds
Of some. A brief summary is given
here:
Persons who are over 40 years of
age but have not yet attained their
41st birthday may enlist in the ar
my. Young men who are now 81
years of age but who were not 81
years old on registration day June
5th, 1919 are still permitted to en-
list. The officials advise all young
men who are now 81 years old and
not registered to grasp this oppor-
tunity to choose their own branch
of service and to join the colors as
volunteer, as it now seems proba-
BILE that law will be passed requir.
ing men attaining the age of 2l to

register. No registered men may
volunteer for service in the army,
except in occasional instances when
men of special qualifications are
needed Immediately. Enlis tment in
the army now is for the period of
the war only, and volunteer is not
required to sign up for any definite
length of time; this fact has caused
many to join. Married men may
enlist on the same basis as single
men, and family allowances are
granted. The only educational
qualification necessary is ability to
speak English. The physical ex-
animation given now is not nearly
so strict as that given year ago,
and the officials advise any who may
have been rejected at previous dates
because of slight physical defects to
make another attempt, as the Sec
ond attempt may be successful.
Practically every branch of the SER
vice is now open, and a man who
volunteers is given the privilege Of
taking his choice of the branch of
the army he desires. Both white
and colored men are wanted and
needed, the colored men to do
Stevedore work.
The opportunities afforded a vol
unteer at this time are greater than
ever before in the nations history.
The pay is good, the chances of
promotion splendid and the living
conditions are excellent. There is
no necessity, the officials state, for
reviewing the reasons why all men
able to do so should help the land
of their birth in this great crisis, as
all men have had these facts fully
impressed upon their minds. In the
years to come after the war is over,
those who failed to join the colors
at this time when they were able to
do so, the officials say, will be caus-
ed bitter disappointment and life
long egret that they were
weighed in the balances and found
wanting and that they did not do
their share in helping to make the
world safe for democracy"

LONE STAR STATE.
Wheat and Oats Looking Well.
Hope to See Edgefield
Veterans at Confederate
Reunion.

l wrote a letter last June, but I
expect the waste basket caught it
as I never saw it in your paper, so
I thought I would try again this
morning and see if1 would have any
better luck.
We have had a very cold winter,
more continued than I have ever
seen since 1 have been here. We
had a killing frost on the ninth of
October, fully month earlier than
usual and we had pretty cold wealth
er on through the balance of the
fall, but it set in for good in Janua-
ry, and out of thirty-one days we
had ice twenty-nine. We had one
norther after another for the whole
month. I have seen colder spells
than we have had this winter, but
it would not last more than two or
three days at a time. We had two
SHOWS in January, the first on the
tenth, with very high wind and it
drifted the snow in places, four feet
deep and on clean land it blew it all
off. Another on the twentieth which
covered the ground about two inches
deep in places. The snow from the
first lay on the ground three weeks.
We have had no rain to amount to
anything like season since Octo-
Der. With that exception we have
had a very dry fall and winter
1t has been trying to rain for the
last three days and it wet the
ground about Two inches deep. We
have no under ground season and it
depends on the seasons now on for
making crop.
The wheat and oats are look.
ing very we'll, good many farmers
have from five to ten acres in wheat
and the average in oats is more
than usual, although there are
some farmers sticking to cotton as
the principle crop. Our cotton
crop here was about seventeen hun
dred bales short of the 1916 crop,
and most the farmersshad- to- buy
feed. The corn crop was short on
account of the dry weather. l don't
know how we will come out if
we make good crop. for most of
tie young men have gone into the
army.
There has been a good deal of
sickness this winter, mostly pneu-
monia, and a great many deaths,
but there is not as much sickness
now as there has been.
I was glad to see another letter
from Uncle w. l am always
glad to hear from him, and would
ike to hear from some of the 9TH
ers that knew in my boy-hood
lays.
| met Nick Broadwater in WASH
ng last June and we had not seen
each other in tifty-fve years. We
we're old hool-mates, and / was

ow. If we have the reunion at
Tuloa, Ark, this spring I would
be glad to meet some more of the
Edgefeld boys. They ought to

our subject SO interesting.
The cold wave will he means of
saving corn, and put more meat in
our pantrys for we have heard of
several who thought they would
have to sell their hogs rather than
carry them over unless it turned
cold enough to kill them.
From observation we have learn.
ed, that thecold winds ipjure fruit,
more than the frost. We enjoy
watching the development of fruit

Has George Washington Turned
In His Grave?
By EARL GOODWIN.
Because he Has Not Heard Of the Manner in Which Private
Ownership Handles his Former Home.

Why should the American public have to PAY to get
into the grounds at Mt Vernon the home and last rest
ing place of George Washington
Why should Mt. Vernon be CLOSED on Sundays thus
shutting out millions Of Americans who cannot visit the
greatest shrine of Liberty and Freedom in the world under
the present PRIVATE OWNERSHIP
WHY should any steamboat company own the EX-
elusive right to land passengers at the Mt Vernon
wharf, thus making petty capital of the great
which Americans hold for the greatest American of ai

beauties and the historic wealth of at the home Of
Washington deserves lasting niche in the hall of fame for
these have done wonderful things to preserve the
gether from all parts of the world the widely scattered
relics and mementOs of the great Washington
But WashlngtOn's memory to counter to
the idea of PRIVATE ownership cannot conceive of
anything un-American than making Americans PAY
pary little tribute Of money to private corporation In
order to step inside the historic gates and stand before the
silent tomb wherein sleeps the Father of His Country
Nor think of anything raucous nor of anything
which janges horribly against the traditions of
Washington than to know that there is ONE steamboat
company which exacts tribute from all other steamboats,
which land passengers at the Mt Vernon wharf.
Mt Vernon should be open to the world every day Of
the year-ESPECIALLY SUNDAY. If it is to be closed
at all would close it all the week and open Sunday
That's the day when millions of Americans could make
their pilgrimage to this beautiful spot where all American
traditions center. To close Sunday is far from
right as to seem really ridiculous.
And lastly WHY does not the Congress of the United
States take Mt Vernon the property Of the
