Aull) ! Columbia, Oct. 28?The remains of Hon. Ebbie Julian Watson, late 1 commissioner of agriculture, com- taerce and industries of South Car- < clina, were laid to rest in the family '< burying ground at Ridge Spring, his < boyhood home, early this afternoon. 1 The funeral servces were conducted f at the residence, 917 Barnwell street at 9:45 o'clock this morning, by his 1 pastor, the Rev. K. G. Finlay, of Trin- j ity Episcopal church. i The simple', but impdesively sol- 11 ? ^ ya at+tunrlor' Viv a t till II CerttLLLUJLUCa -riv ~., ? large concourse of Col. Watson's < friends, and by a number of those in ? official station, including Gov. Man- t ing. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. From throughout the nation last i night and today have come hundreds t of expressions of sympathy and of i eorrow in the passing of Commis- i sioner Watson. During the past i thirteen years he had risen to nat- ?S ional prominence in his work, and in t the various national organizations (t which were formed along agricultural, i commerical and industria 1 endeavor t iie took a leading part, being presi- ( dcjnt of several of the most important. An insight into his life and i labors, may be gained through an t extract from an address which he i delivered when he was unanimously j elected president cf the great Na- i tional Drainage Congress. On that ocassion he said: "I want to take occasion to express t to this congress my heartfelt'-and ( deep gratification at the honor that 1 you have conferred upon me. I want ( to say that I feel proud of the c burden that you have placed upon, t aiy shoulders. IWfe have had with us 11 in this work a man of rare type, aj man who, because he now retires; j from the presidency, is not going to j t;tire from the work of the'congress 1 or from the cause. I know him. j There are few types like him.

American Field Headquarters in France, Oct. 27.?America is on the firing line in France! At the stroke of six of a recent morning a red-haired Irish-iAmerican sent America's first shell sizzling across No Man's Land at a German ] battery position, heralding to the! world the grim triumphant message th^t "the Yankees are coming!" That afternoon they came. They marched to battle through slush and rain. But on their faces was a sacred sunshine and in their hearts a songi That night American infantry joined Ameican artillery in first ]ine trenches on a quiet sefctor of the ' Western front. Criss-cross firing has been going on ever since. Only a few i hundred yards away is the nearest . German trench. Pershing's boys are ] on the watah. < Not until today, for excellent military reasons, were correspondents ] permitted to send the cheering news i to America. The following official j statement?America's first * "Communique in the s;reat war?was is- < sued from Amercian Headquarters* ] "In continuation of their training as a nucleus for instruction later, a contingent of some battalions of , our first contingents, in as- } sociation with veteran French hattaHons, are in the first line trenche? of quiet sector on the French front. "T^ey are supported by some bat- T teries of our artillery, in associa- ( tion with veteran French batteries. ? "The sector remains normal. Our t men nave aa^pieu meius-cives ^ actual trench conditio s in the most t satisfactory manner." There it is?the plain, matter-of- s fact, typically military, typically ? American "bulletin that ushers in an jpoch in the history of mankind. For t i mere war correspondent to try to f; ilucidate or all to all that its simple c A-ords imply would be f'ooish and utile. t Have t^ey gone over the top yet? n Will they go soon? Have the Ger- c nans tried to "trafe" them y-A, and C ,vhat sort of punishment did the Som. fi nies deal out? These an.1 all the :housand an<* one questions uuloubtedly in the minds of the folks t home must be left to future bulle- fi ins to answer. I s J l - K1 - ^ | 1" An tnrurgeuauie All that can be told in this dis-1D jatch is the story of their going from ;he moment that the first mysterious t whisper made the rounds of the cor- 1 espondents to that picturesque and lever to be forgotten scene when our c Sammies gloshing through the mud. t ;urned frontward at the cross roads s l. ;heir dark dark pouchoed figures disippearing in the gloom', on their way * ;o bring the light of peace and free- r lom and democracy to all the world. At daybreak of a certain morning ^ iot very lon,g ago the American bat- c ;eries of which today's official state-1 e nent speaks, t??k up their positions. 1 ^.n officer passed down the line and p isked if all were rer.dy. ^ What the feelings of these men r;ere in that moment is a chapter for ;hem alone to tell. Fact is, as offi:ers who saw them have since testi- t 5ed that no finer set of men have e rver gone into action. A holy fire b ;eemed to sparkle in their eyes and t] ;heir fatures were set with an iraa a esolve. it The troops made their way past a "2 ed-roofed old churcb. As they b eached the village from which the j ast lap of the march started the dis- a ;ant thunder of the guns dide away. * Stop for Scoffing t: Field kitchens were put in the dusk n ind the men helped themselves eager ? 1 crhole soul into my work.

But [ believe, like old Demosthenes;, that j fou cannot accomplish anything in a :his world, whether in r.rt, or wheth- c ar it be in any sphere of human en- ^ ieavor, without work.
