PRIVATE R. P. BELLINGER ' PREPARES TO RETURN. (Continued from page 1, column 2.) its meaning in English, and "Episode du Combat de Quibbonier," which portrays a particularly horrible scene enacted during the French revolution of 17S9. Then I next went to the court house which was closed as it was Sunday. But I was fortunate to chance upon the janitor whom I told that I was an American lawyer and consequently should be very glad to go through. His face at once became aglow with enthusiasm and he seemed to deem it quite an honor to take me In, apparently not realizing that I was nothing but a poor, meek, humble, insignificant, downtrodden buck private. (If you can think of any other appropriate adjectives please stick 'em there for me.) He conducted me through the entire bBg? building and explained everything including the fudges' rooms, both the civil and criminal court rooms and the wellent law librai1?. Th? feiVii ftlid criminal courts have jurisdictions about equivalent to our circuit courts. They are each presided over by three judges, a president and* two assistants, and also have a jury of twelve men. I " j am very sorry that I have not had an opportunity to attend a French trial. The handsome library was particularly interesting. The laws of all of .our States with the exception of Louisiana are based upon the old common law of our mother country England. While French law is based principally upon the old Justinian Code compiled centuries ago by the great emperor Justinian of the gigantic Roman Empire, from which country first emanated to the world the free principles of democracy for which the allies have contended in the present war. Many generations later, or about the year 1855, the <* ?nn Mo nAlonn fVlO TTT QtlipOIUl U1 X' lauvc, iiayviwu buv ***| nephew of the great military genius Napoleon Bonaparte, formulated f what is calfed the Code Napoleon, which now gives to France many of her laws and is the basis of all French social existence today. But while the sources and the foundations of the laws of the two countries, France and America, are somewhat distinct, the two methods of 1 dispensing justice do not vary a great deal, and I find that the individual rights and remedies of one person as against another here and also of the State against the citizen are practically the same as in our own country. Tomorrow I shall go on a trip of a few days to the city of Gievres on business for the government. Gievres (pronounced Jeves) is in the department of Et Cher about 95 miles southwest of Paris, and midway between the cities of Tours and Bourges. On the way back'here I shall probably stop off at the latter place which numbers 110,000 people and has the great central records offices of the American Expeditionary Forces. Upon my return to camp I shall have awaiting me an immediate furlough of two weeks which I expect to use for a wonderful and marvelous pleasure and sight seeing trip. A soldier from Chicago and I expect to go together. We will first go to Lyons, the great manufacturing city with one million inhabitants, one of the leading business centers .of France and the second largest city. Then we will proceed to MarT seille, the celebrated French port on the Mediterranean sea, and the country's fourth city in size. This place is noted as probably the world's most wicked city. I shall do my best to find out about that and if I do not become too much attached ; to Marseille on this account I shall < travel up. the Mediterranean coast i from there to the great winter resort, Nice, which is on the- Mediter- : ranean and also right in among the < Alps. Yet I am told by officers who ; have been there that it is favored with a mild and even climate. Nice < is not a great distance from the fron- j tier of Switzerland and is nearly on ine uoraer line oeiween rrauue auu Italy. From there we expect to take < short side trips into the Alps, to the separate province and independent country of Monaco, the far famed city of Monte Carlo, and across the j line into Italy. Monaco, although j an-independent country to itself, I am informed, covers only a few acres - of territory and includes just two towns, Monte Carlo and Mentone. Then we expect to go up to the city of Grenoble which likewise is located among the highest peaks of the Alps, and from which place one can get a splend'd view of beautiful snow capped Mount Blanc, Europe's loftiest peak. From Grenoble we expect to sl;p all the way to the northwest of | the country for a couple of days in Paris. Please don't tell anybody ( about this part of it though, for we are not supposed to go to Paris, but simplv don't think we can resist the temptation to see the world's third city. By this time my two weeks will ' probably be up, and if I survive the i trip and am physically able I shall j then return here. Within four or i SENATOR BLACK'S TRIBUTE. Praises the Late Senator B. E. Nicholson, of Edgefield. The following is the tribute paid by Senator Black, of Bamberg, to the late Senator B. E. Nicholson, of Edgefield, who died of an attack of influenza a few days ago: "Mr. President:?I would be untrue to myself and untrue to my own feelings, if I did not say something on this sad occasion. For it was my good fortune, ye, my great pleasure to know Senator Nicholson for a good long time. I knew him in his home town, where he was loved by all the people, but I knew him more intimately -in this senate. I have served with him in committees and in this chamber and can testify to his faithfulness and sincerity on all occasions. "In the death of Senator Nicholson Edgefield county has lost one of her most beloved sons, this senate, pne of her ablest members, and the State of South Carolina one of her best citizens. "As we stand here today with sad hearts and bowed heads, we miss him, we miss him now, and will miss him for many days to come. ^ We miss his strong argument in debate. We miss his genial smile as he met his brother senators. We miss his merry laugh as he went in and out among the members of this body. "During the first week of this session he was in his seat, but soon he was subject to sickness and went to his home in Edgefield, there to remain only a short time before he was ^ / * 4 ^iin i en Atr u aii&pui lcu tuat uuuiovuiviou country from whose bourne no traveler returns." He was called early in life, but we can look back on that life as being well spent for the up-, building of mankind and for the glory of God. "Mr. President, may it be said of us all when we are called hence, as we can truthfully say of him today, the world was made better by his having lived in it." Governor Makes Appointments. A number of appointments were made for the new county of Allendale. Commissioners of State and county elections are: J. C. Griffin, Ulmers; John George, Allendale; George W. Jenny, Fairfax.

Craocolor, the best colored crayon made, at Herald Book Store. five days after I get back here I expect to begin my slow return journey a and voyage to the dearest and best of them all, the good old U. S. A. -I am afraid that I can't get to Bamberg in less than five or six months, but anyhow it will certainly be a glad day for this little boy of your dear old Uncle Sam's when once more he marches under the Stars and Stripes, to the strains of the Star Spangled Banner qn the sacred soil of Old Glory's own fair land. During the several days after my return from the furlough I shall of course, be very busy making preparations for my final departure and consequently think it will be almost impossible for me to write another letter, However, if the opportunity offers itself I shall be glad to write you of my experiences, observations,' and impressions gained in these wonderful cities, and also attempt to describe my emotions while surrounded by some of the world's grandest and most picturesque scenery. Still as I said, this will be altogether improbable, and I desire to extend to The Herald and the people, of Bamberg county generally my very kindest regards and best wishes. Very sincerely yours, R.

When people read about the cures made by a medicine endorsed from far away, is it surprising that thev wonder if the statements are true: But when they read of cases right here at home, positive proof is within their reach, for close investigation is an easy matter. Read Bamberg endorsement of Doan's Kidney Fills. J. H. Murphy, farmer, Elm St.. says: "In my estimation, Doan's Kidney Pills are the best kidney remedy on the market and I can honestly recommend them. I haven't had occasion to use any Doan's Kidney Pills for several years, but 1 clearly remember the good I derived from them when last I used them. 1 had a lameness in my back and my kidneys were disordered, causing me much annoyance. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they completely cured me of this trouble and put my. kidneys in good shape again, so I am glad to endorse this remedy. Any- i one having trouble "with their kidneys should try Doan's Kidney Pilie." Price^ SOc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?got Doan's Kidney PillB ? the same tiuA Mr. Murphy had.
