HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
J. G. Bloody, of Barnwell, Fell Into
Creek With His Car.

While returning from Augusta on
Sunday via the old River road" Mr..
J. G. Moody, Jr., of Barnwell, had a
very narrow escape from death by
drowning, when his automobile fell
through a bridge over Horse creek,
some eight miles from Augusta in
Aiken county. There were three 9TH
er occupants of the car besides Mr.
Moody, who was driving, but foriu-
nately for them they were no. III the
machine, having gotten out to push
the car out of bog-hole beyond the
bridge. and were helpless witnesses
of the accident.
As soon as Mr.. Moody eelt the
bridge giving away under the weight
of his car, he quickly took off his
overcoat and threw his leg over the
door and when the machine fell into
the stream was able to extricate him
self and swim ashore. He was pick
ed up by another automobilist and
carried to Augusta, but his compan-
ions were forced to walk back to the
city. Garagemen went to the scene
of the accident Monday, but as the
car was under water about 20 feet
they were unable to get it back to
terra firma. AS the bridge was some
IL feet above the stream it was lit
tie short of miracle that Mr.. Moody
escaped with his life.

Marriage Problems.

Good morning, parson," said
jerks, the village wag, meeting the
parish rector one morning. 81 want
your advice on a certain point con-
corning the marriage laws"
81 shall be very pleased to assist
you if I can, Mr.. jerks. What is it
you require solving?"
"Well, I want to know whether
it's legal for a man to marry his wild
ow's niece?"
The vicar hesitated before vouch-
safing reply, then very slowly e4-
pressed it as his opinion that such a
marriage would be perfectly legal.
"That's satisfactory, sir, but would
it be possible for such marriage
to actually take placer" continued
jerks, with a merry twinkle in his
eye.
"Certainly. If the thing is legaliz-
ed by law it is, course, possible" re-
piled the clergyman.
you're positive on that point, I
presume?"
"Of course 1 am"
"Well, I can't say that share your
opinion. AS rule, in this country
widows are widows, and if man
wished to marry the niece of such a
person I am afraid he'd have to rise
from the grave first. Good morning.

ion that the cOlOred troops Will ueF-
er be of any fighting value. should
dread to have to advance under real
ly heavy fire with the expectation OF
having a colored battalion, even un-
der white officers, follow me. The
fighting spirit does not exist among
the men; they are rank cowards;
there is no other word for it.
The commander of the second bat
talon reported:
"The condition of the individual
soldiers mentally during this time
was awful. On several occasions
when l had these men in the trenches
their one thought was of their GER
tain death; any idea of getting into
the Boche had absolutely departed
from them. They were crouching
low in the trenches, reading their
Bibles and praying. looked into
their faces and saw an agony of fear
in almost every case. believe this
mental condition has been brought
on to large degree by the actions of
the negro officers"
The commanding officer of the bri-
gade made this statement:
Il gave to the training of the Off
GERS and men the very best that was
in me, and 1 was bitterly disappoint-
ed
Following this disgrace, the divis-
ion was withdrawn from the Argonne
and assigned to a quiet sector on the
Moselle, where it remained until after
the armistice was signed.
This, then, is the record of the on
ly negro division sent to France. 1t
is the most shameful chapter in the
history of Americas participation
in the war. We would gladly have
left it behind the veil drawn over it
by the censor, but to do so would
merely help make a mockery of our
future system of preparedness. Of
course, when Secretary Baker, mind
full of the large negro vote in his
home state, commissioned negroes,
we knew it was crime, and we are
quite sure that it will never be re-
peated, so we are not particularly
disturbed on that account.
But the quality of the negro en-
listed man must be thoroughly un-
derstood. He cannot face grilling
fire. He is fitted only for the staf
branches, where he will be far re-
moved from the range of the artil-
lery. This much has been proved by
the experiences Of the war.
We trust that before the senate
committee disposes Of the subject OF
military training the entire question
will be threshed out. Gen. Pershing
has all the reports. Let them be laid
before the committee. We have not
sDace for them. Negroes must, of
course, be trained for military SER
vice under whatever system if finally
evolved. They must be prepared to
do their part. But it must be part
for which they are fitted; it must be
in the auxiliary branches, and ont in
the combat forces.-From Harvey's
Weekly.

Five sacks of corn got Ed Smith

day. The pair now occupy quar-
teFs in the county jail under bond
of $500, each.
1t seems that John o'Hern, farm
er about three and one-haIf miles
southwest of Joy, on Wednesday
morning noticed part of a load Of
corn which he had hauled in for
feed for his hogs, was missing. In
vestigation disclosed that from six
to eight bushels had been pilfered,
between the hours of
IL and IL o'clock Tuesday night.
Sheriff John p. Fleming was noti-
fed.
Accompanied by Deputy ]. ].
Sheriff Fleming fastened
TO the scene. Upon his arrival he
noticed auto tracks leading to the
fence; where a stop had been made,
and then away. Following the
tracks, exceptionally clear in the
soft ground, the sheriff was
brought direct to the doors OF the
garage containing the machine be-
longing to Smith. When the doors
were thrown open there were the
five sacks of corn. This was on
Wednesday.
Only that morning Smith and
Bidwell had journeyed to the
O'Hearn farm and asked permits
sion to pick blackberries on the
premises. They were refused.
When they returned to their homes
they were arrested on a state war
rant served by Sheriff Fleming.
Both protested their innocenc and
plead not guilty at a hearing had
before Squire ]. p. Gushee at
Keithsburg. They were held under
bonds of $500 each.

sheep REQUI3E
BETTER RATE0N
THAN Weed HAY
Export Tells Mercer Si0cEmea That
Extra Feed and G0Ud Cane s
Pay Good Profit

Mercer county sheeBmeu demon
strated their keen interest IN sheep
husbandry yesterday when IS
breeders and feeders assembled IN
the park in front Of the court house
and heard Prof W. c. Coney. chief
in sheep husbaudry in the state
university, discuss the ms and outs
OF the sheep man"
A national figure as a sheep Judge
and a recognized authority on ey-
cry subject relating TO tho manage
ment and production OF sheep,
Prof Cotfey was kept busy for
| three hours answering the quea-
tons which were asked by those
present.
"OuT farm locks must have bet
ter care and management IL maxi
mum profits are 20 be returned TO
the owners" said Prof. Comey.
Too many sheep owners depend
on weeds and sundry other indi-
gestible farm crops to carry their
hocks through the winter. In or
der to be in the best OF health, an
eve should have some succulent
feed during, the winter months and
IL possible some legume hay, that
is, alfalfa, clover, etc. For best re-
suits she should be allowed one
fifth OF a pound OF linseed oil cake
daily in order TO keep her in good
health during the pregnant period"
When asked if the wool would
pay for the cost Of keep, leaving the
lamb as clear profit, Prof. COdey
stated that too many times this
statement has been made. He said
he believed IL was seldom possible
to handle the eve in such a way as
to cut the cost Of her keep so OK
tensively.
Prof. Cohey commended the at
titude of Mercer county farmers
toward the Illinois wool pool. He
stated that the pool offers a great
opportunity to sheepmeu for the
marketing at a profit of what here
tofore has been sold at loss.
During a ride into the country
after the meeting Prof. Cofey stat
ed that Mercer. county is showing
more sheep on its farms than most
Illinois counties which he has
visited.
p. S. Rtchey, county farm agent
closed the meeting with a report OF.
his inspection trip to the Chicago
wool warehouse where he spent
last Tuesday in the interest Of the
men who pooled wool from Me-
Ger county. He reported that
the wool has been graded and W
soon be offered for sale. The ave
age price now bid on grade pr
in the Mercer count.
wool pool was GO TO IS cents q
pound.
He reported himself as well
pleased with market conditions and
the way the wool is being handled.
A delightful lunch, consisting OF
spring lamb sandwiches and ice
cold lemonade, was then served

states show rains to p. m. yester-

Forecast is mixed. Cool and show
ers in sections. The Goodman Aug
ust LIST estimate is not bullish.
Washington is moving toward con-
troll of checking of all costs. Wash
ington wants much cheaper bread
even if a loss to the United States
of near a billion. President Lee of
the Railway Trainmen has created
a national sensation by demanding
action to reduce cost of living be-
fore October 1. He says cost of liv-
ing has produced a drastic labor
feeling and it will be hell if some
body drops a match. This is strong
stuff but Lee feels he is merely in
terpreting public ideas. Governor
Cox of Ohio asks a five cent wheat
loaf. About half million oats we're
taken at the seaboard. Selling of U.
S. owned foods will have a senti-
menta effect on all food prices.
Question arises as to whether the
grains are at the high points of the
year. If weather remains fairly cool
to August 10 the corn crop will run

DRASTIC DROP
IN CORN IS DUE
y TO PRICE WAR?
Heavy Decline of Market Quotes
Caused by Government Fight
on Living Cost.

Chicago, Aug. Drastic new
setbacks in the price of corn re-
suited today from hog weaknesses
today and from agitation for gov
eminent measures to reduce the
cost Of living. Bearish crop re-
ports counted also as a depressing
influence. Selling was on a large
scale. Opening quotations, which
varied from 2Ssc to 47sc lower
with September 100 to 19I and
December 1.59 to 1918 were fol-
lowed by only moderate rallies
from initial bottom figures.
Oats were easier with corn. Aft
er opening asc to lee lower, in
Guiding September at 77as to 1913 c,
the market sagged a little more and
then recovered somewhat.
Provisions reflected the weakness
OF hogs and grain. Offerings,
though were light.
Later the market rallied sharply
PTtng to bullish crop estimates and
