= NEEDED IN FRINGE

while certain branches of the vorl
the National War Work Council O
the \. M. @. A. has been doing for some
Cme are being curtailed, one type O.
service is being called upon for NOR,
cooperation than ever before. Al
IAoush Tor some time there have beer
approximately 400 to 500 entertainers
IN France, many difficulties have sur
rounded this type Of service and the
thousands Of shows which have been
gwen In France have only been put
over In spite of almost superhumar
olInculties. Now, however, with the
PERIOD of rehabilitation forcing upor
the Army new problems has a real
spirit OF cooperation been shown by
me Army authorities. Therefore, Gen.
eral Pershing has detailed Colonel
Kelly, from his own Staff, to act as
entertainment officer for the A. E. F.,
winch position places him as the liai.
son officer between the Army and the
W Entertainment Bureau in Paris.
Theatres and large buildings are be-
Ing taken over, mechanics supplied by
the Army are putting them into opera
ZION and the "Y'' is producing shows,
given by soldier talent alone, and also
dramatic and vaudeville performances
and miscellaneous musical programs,
the personnel Of all Of which must be
recruited from this country.
Owing to the large number of men
IN the Army with entertainment abil-
ity, no effort is being made to send
men from this side. Women, however,
are wanted for these positions in large
numbers. 125 must be sent out from
this country every month, which will
require the cooperation Of every re-
cruiting agency throughout the coun-
try. All entertainers are supplied with
uniforms, Life, Accident and Health
Insurance, transportation, and allow
$4,000 per month for living exnanses
in Fr&:ta.
The women should be preferably be-
tween the ages Of 23 and 80, neat and
attractive and possessed Of a pro-
RQlft6d ability in their particular line.

Better 'Lcave" Facilities.

Paris.-Where Napoleon III and
King Edward VII Of England spent
many leisure hours the American en-
listed men are now at play. The fam
Gus yacht club at Cannes, founded and
patronized by King Edward, ard St.
Sauveur, where the third Napoleon was
wont to go with his court, indicate the
variety of attractions offered by the Y.
M. G. A. In the leave area system oper-
ated in cooperation with the military
authorities. From the Alps to the Pyr-
ennes and from the Brittany coast to
the Riviera, there are seven "Y" leave
areas in which $4,000 soldiers can be
entertained at one time. Preparations
are now under way to increase these
much-appreciated facilities to double
their present capacity.
Representatives Of the army and Of
the Y. M. G. A. are now travelling from
one end of France to the other seek
ing new spots in which to set up leave
areas. The experiment at Aix-les-Bains
has been successful from the start,
as America now knows pretty well
from first-hand information carried
home by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr,
who organized the woman's canteen
work at AK
"Aches and Pa:ns'' was an ideal spot
for the experiment, but six others have
been found and put in operation. each
equally satisfactory as the original
model Consequently it is with opti-
mism that the army and the "Y' seek
to increase the centres where sure
eures have been found for homesick
doughboys.
Location, climate, hotel accommoda-
lions, opportunities for entertainment
and sightseeing and the moral and
physical cleanliness Of the area are
all-important in the selection OF
leave resort. AS soon as a site is
selected the largest available is OBJ
tanned by the Y. M. G. A. as its main
center of operations, men and women
are assigned to service and negoti-
atoms are begun to secure reduced
nrices from such entertainment en-
terprises as cannot be duplicated by
the Y. M. G.. A. and every effort is
made to give as much service as pos
tation and pays the hotel bills, thereby
enabling the soldier to enjoy all the
attractions formerly restricted to
rings and emperors and malefactors
of great wealth.
The Jetty Casino at Nice and the
Municipal Casino at Cannes are the
centres of attraction in the Rivera
for the $500 men who can be accom-
modated in this area. Many officers
favor this Mediterranean section and
there is a ''Y" club for them. Every
thing except the gambling that was
stopped by the government at the be-
ginning of the war is at the disposal
Of the Americans. Golf~nd tennis ana
other athletic sports, bathing, boating
and the companionship Of the local
population are the most popular al
fractions.

The Government is denouncing the
rSactlce of cashing in War Saving,
Stamps when there is not the utmost
need If this is to continue, says the
Othcial Bulletin, it will not only make
poor people poorer but will defeat the
purpose of the Government in its e1-
forts to raise the war debt of the ma
ton without further taxing the peo-
pie.
Unfortunately for North Carolina,
many Of her citizens have been report
ed as cashing in their stamps when,
according to their own word, they did
not need the money for the necessi-
ties Of life. One North Carolina post
master writes: Men who are able to
hold them come and demand a re-
demption of their stamps, four and
i've hundred dollars worth at a time
One man who pledged to buy twenty
Stamps bought ten dollars worth few
days ago and Immediately gave notice
Tor their redemption ten days later.
AS soon as 1 paid him he then bought
Zen dollars worth of stamps more and
Immediately demanded his pledge card
claiming that he had redeemed his
pledge"
The Government is advising the
owners of stamps to hold on to then,
securities to the date Of their matur-
ity. 1t urges that they save and econ
omize to meet the needs of the day in
order that their stamps may draw
their full rate Of interest and that the
Government may use this money IN
meeting the heavy debts incurred by
the war.

Crooks Might Come This Way

Atlanta, Ga, March 10.-All State
banks have been warned by State
Treasurer w. J. Speer to be on the
lookout for crooks who are reported
operating in Georgia.
The method of procedure, accord
ing to the State Treasurer is for a
person to present a check to some
bank drawn upon another in a differ
ent section of the country and to ask
for a certificate of deposit in return.
The certificate of deposit is a nego-
table paper, and the holder thereof
Immediately trades it for cash, while
the checks given are usually return
ed as worthless paper.

Trying to Get Rid of the Negro

y long article in the New York
Evening Post under a Philadelphia
date. line describes what is now hap
pening to the negroes who went
north in the past two or three years,
attracted by the high prices then be-
ing paid for war work, and gaily
shaking the dust of the South from
their feet forever. Their present
plight is axactly what their friends
foretold. At Coatsville, Pa, where
many negroes were employed in the
great steel plants, these negroes, to
whom the promise of long employ
ment had been made by the agents
who enticed them North with assur-
ance OF high wages and free trans
portation both ways, are now with
out work and without funds, hated
and despised not only by their fell
low laborers but also by the authori-
ties, State and local. They are look
ed uron as yagabonds and criminals
and the-cdstomary thing is to seize
thes1 on one charge or another, drive
them to the southern limits Of the
town and order them to "head
SOUTH"
This is the picture as it is drawn
by one Of the Northern newspapers
which has been most consistent in
its championship of the negro's in
terests. To appreciate it correctly |
one must, as the President would
say, have the setting. The present
in which the negroes who
hurried North in the exodus of two
years ago find themselves is bad
enough in itself, but what makes it
harder for them is the contrast with
the prosperity of the negroes who
stayed in the South, especially the
negroes who stuck to the farm,
worked hard and saved their money.
What the New York Evening Post
ought to do is to send one of its cor
respondents into this section to re-
port on the situation here in compa-
.ison with the situation as it has
iescNbed it at Coatsville.-NeSs and

Dreco is compounded from the
Juices and extracts of medicinal
roots, herbs, barks and berries. There
is TO doubt about the value of this
great medicine for stomach disor-
ders, weak kidneys, sluggish liver,
constipated bowels, nor for cleans
ing the blood of poisons and impu-
rites, thereby eradicating rheuma-
tism and catarrh. Scores of people
have testified to its merits; many of
them after all other remedies and
doctors had failed to help them, and
all declared Dreco had restored their
health.
Dreco is now sold by all good
druggists throughout the country
and is especially recommended in
Kingstree by the Kingstree Drug
Company.

REPLY TO BETHEA

The Record, an afternoon paper of
Columbia, and R. Carlton Wright, of
Columbia, it's publisher and editor,
made an answer last Friday in the
suit of Major Andrew j. Bethea, of
Columbia, for 100000 against them
fcr alleged malicious libel.
Major BetNea based his suit on a
series of articles published in The
Record which charged that he did
not have a right to don the uniform
of a major in the United States
army, as he was in inactive status
and that he was made to "disrobe'
by an armv officer at Camp jack
son. The allegations Major Betnoa
denied, claiming that The Records
articles we're unfounded and held
him up to rliicule and scorn.
In its return today The Record
alleges that it had authentic inform
alton CT which to base its charges
and that it thought it was its duty
to let the people know about Major
Bethea as he had been in public life
and it is understood contemplated
running for Governor. The return
further stated that while Major
Bethea last summer was campaigning
for Governor, other men of his age
were donning the khaki. 1t allegedalso
that Major Bethea was a young man
and unmarried. Major Bethea fol
four years up to January IA of this
year was Lieutenant Governor OF
