Of my travels I will only say that they have all been very pleasant and without any very exciting expe riences. Wo have moved very rap idly, never staying in one place for moro than a few days. For several days I hiv.? been attending a school tor machine gun oftV.e-s, which will last tor som.} time y-;t. ai.d which I hope will qualify me to go out as a machine gun officer, with knowledge enough to begin the practical work. Those who arc picked foi this work have cause to bo proud, for this ls tho real brunch ol the service over here. We once were laughed at, but now lt's "What will you have. Mr. Machine Gunner?" and wc get lt. This ls certainly a fino country over herc, and I do not blame the Germans for wanting lt. Just imag ino the rolling sections of our State cleared of timber and where the woods are, covered with grass and gardens, tho valleys settled with numerous small villages, and you have this part of France at this sea son of the year. I was mighty glad to hear that Oconee was doing her part In the Liberty loan campaign, although I knew that she would do lt. But there are greater things which she must do in tho future, for she must not only uphold her past reputation, but she must strive to do botter. We see and bear of things every day that would make the blood of any man boll, and my own hope and prayer is that the ones back home will see this from their reading, and work to put a stop lo lt. The news papers do not make things ns bad as they really are. The Hun ls perfect ly savage, and so far as 1 can (Ind out lhere lt nothing he won't do. 1 haven't been over much of France, but one cannot travel anywhere with out finding traces of his work. There is no use of talking about making any kind of peace until he is com pletely whipped, and whipped well I haven't found my brother yet, and do not expect to do so. for wo cannot write and tell each other where we are. i hope to make ar rangements to see him somewhere before long, though. I find quite a few South and North Carolina boys almost everywhere I go. We had a minstrel show last night, given by an American hospital unit, which was really very good. My address is William K.

France, Juno 8, 1910. Dear Mother: I hope this will find you all well and enjoying life. This leav*.- me feeling fine, even though I am still in the hospital. There ls only a little soreness in my arm now, but I think I will bc back with the boys in two weeks. I 1 will try this time to tell you "how lt happened." I was driving a mule team up on the front when tho Huns began shelling the road and handed me a few with their ma chine guns. 1 had my hands full with four mules. They began to run, and ran Into a hole caused by a shell, and then under the wagon I went, managed to stop the team before they got away, and then one of the mules got hit, so 1 had to get help. The lieutenant came along and got me to the hospital pretty quick. The wagon and load weighed 1,8 00 pounds and it ran over my neck-but I have a good neck yet for alt that. Well, how are the crops this year? Fine, 1 hope! I haven't told you, but I draw corporal's pay over here-$ 1 I. Well, mother. I will close for this time, (live my love to all the folks.

Dear "Sis": I suppose you think I am never going to write, but When I relate my voyage you will see why you haven't heard from mo. I wrote you a long letter while in-, but tho steamer lt started over in was torpedoed, and I presume the sharks toad it. So I had nothing to do but walt. We bad an uneventful voyngs didn't spy any subs and our ship was in only ono storm, off tho Irish coast. I didn't get tho least blt seasick. We landed 15,000 soldiers and 1,000 Red Cross nurses safely. Wo were warn I ed by wireless that a fleet of subs I was awaiting our return, but we failed to seo thom. Wo were ready at all times, however-every gun loaded and a man at tho trigger. I was Intending to get some souvc SHIPS SINK FIVE SUBMARINES. The U-Boats Attempted Attack on Transports Currying U. S. Troops. Au Atlantic Port, July 4.-De struction In European waters ot live German submarines by British trans ports anti by American and British destroyers convoying them, was de scribed by passengers who arrived hero to-day on an English liner. The transports, one of which was carry ing 7,COO American soldiers to Eu rolie, accounted for three of the U boats and the destroyers sank the other two, according to the voyagers. Officers of the liner confirmed their stories. The passengers witnessed the tor pedoing of tho 5,436-ton British freighter Orissa, a part of their con voy, when the fleet was a day west from the British Isles. The Orissa, bound in ballast for tho United States, was sent to the bottom by an unseen submarine. A moment later, however, and American destroyer dropped a depth bomb and made a direct hit on the submarine, accord ing to the story related here. The same evening a U-boat was sighted by the passenger vessel, whose gu ti ners sank lt by shell fire. The other three submarines wore destroyed, according to the returned travelers, on the eastward trip of an other convoy. They declared that a large British transport, with 7,000 American troops aboard, rammed a submersible which was revealed with two others in the sudden lifting of a heavy fog. Almost simultaneously with the disappearance of the lirst submarine beneath the transport's bow, the big ship's gunners accounted for another, while a British destroyer disposed of the third. Cutarrhnl Deafness Cannot Bo Cured by local applications, as they cannot tench the diseased portion of the ear. There ls only one way to cure ca tarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness ls caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Ettstachlan tube. When this tube ls inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing .and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the re sult. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafnoss are caused by catarrh, which is an in Hamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts through the blood on tho mucous surfaces of tho system. We will give ono hundred dollars for any case of catarrhal deafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Ca tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All druggists, 75c. F. J, Cheney & Co., (adv. ) Toledo, Ohio.

The coin is Spanish, though nothing is discernible to indicate the denomination. The inscription, still visible, is "Dei Gratia-1793-Caro lus HU." It was by the merest chanco that Mr. Jordan noticed the tiny silver piece as it turned up with the soil as he worked.

But if anybody, thinks what I say is hot true, let him j go for himself, sec what I have seen, fee] what I have felt, and he will know. Last Saturday I left Walhalla with . that affable and accommodating mail carrier, John Brock, and in one hour and twenty minutes we landed in Sa lem. John traveled on schedule time, j and as far as 1 could see, on both i sides of the road from Walhalla (via . Tamassee) to Salem, I have never seen crops of every kind more flour- ; Ishing at this season of the year. Wheat, oats and rye were splendid and about harvested; cotton and corn fine and clean; Irish and sweet; potatoes abundant, and gardens un excelled. Everybody seemed to be at work and all aro victorious over Cen. Oreen; want to fight the Kaiser if they can get to him and bury him and his nefarious policies so deep that nothing short of Gabriel's trumpet will resurrect them. On the road l saw three women plowing and several handsome girls hoeing cotton. All honor and praise to them, for they aro working to win the war, feed the loved ones at home, tho famine-stricken part of the world, and beloved brothers, sons and sweethearts who are bravely fac ing death every hour and every min ute that wo and those to come after us may live lu peace, prosperity and happiness, I wanted John to stop a while at Tamassee so that I could view the beautiful scenery and meet aomo of tho good citizens of that noted and prosperous section, but he would not stop. I said to him, "Caesarin ve his." He aald ho didn't know what that was, but he did know Undo Sam carried him.

In a communication of this kind I cannot tell you of all the good people and excellent things one sees in and around Salem. From Salem I went with a Mr. Dodglns (U. S. mail carrier to Jo casseo) as far as John Fowler's, on Boone's Creek, where I spent Satur day night and Sunday very pleasant ly. At the predicted hour (6.30 p. m.) on Saturday tho eclipse appeared and was visible with or without a smoked glass. It became rather dark, some chickens went to roost, the rooster crowed and the dogs how led. I did not catch any fish and saw only one buzzard. Failing to lind any congenial food here ho winced his way over Smeltzer's mountain. I saw some birds and a good many crows, and among other things I saw an itinerant herb or root doctor from somewhere in the mountains who could (mis)quote Scripture, and said he could euro everything fr. J rn a "chigger bite to consumption and pellagra," as well as canee." and other Incurable afflictions. He claim* i od to be a ventriloquist and said he could "fling" his voice.
