SENATOR BENET IS
HIGHLY HONORED ;
b
Assigned to Membership on Appro*
priations Committee?Presides
Over Senate.
a
Washington, July 11.?Senator e
Christie Benet was highly honored e
n
today by the Senate. In the first ^
place he was assigned to member- j.
ship on the committee on appropri- I
ations, the most important commit- h
tee in the Senate, a very unusual ^
b
and really almost sensational tri3
bute to a brand new member. ^
Senator Martin, of Virginia, chair
man of the appropriations commit- ^
tee, and majority leader of the Senate,
made the motion that the young
South Carolinian be assigned to his ^
own committee and also to member- .
ship of Cuban relations expenditures
in the Navy Department, five ^
civilized tribes of Indians, forest
reservations, and protection of
game, private land cfaims and trans- v
portation and sale of meat products.
The Senate approved the motion
immediately by unanimous consent. 1
Later in the afternoon Senator *
Benet was summoned from hsi office ?
to preside over the deliberations of 4
the Senate, which he did with dig- *
nity and grace until he had to leave s
the chair to keep an appointment s
with President Wilson at the White 1
House and with Chairman Harding f
of the Federal reserve board. I

LIBERTY BOND WARNING.
Columbia, July 10.?In advising
the people of South Carolina against
the exchange of Liberty Bonds for
securities or merchandise, the State
Council of Defense is acting with
the approval of the Council of National
Defense and the Treasury Department.
Secretary McAdoo said
recently, regarding the exchange of
merchandise for Liberty Bonds:!
"When the bonds are exchanged fori
merchandise, it defeats the primary I
purpose of their sale, it discourages*
??? Iiimiwi I nn I limn Ml. >! 11
irift and increases expenditures,
tus depriving the government of
bor and material needed for war
jrposes." It is also pointed out
iat bonds taken in exchange are
sually sold immediately iiv- the
pen market, thus depressing the
arket price.
All offers to accept Liberty Bonds
i exchange for other securities, or
>r merchandise, should not only be
eclined, but the concerns making
ich offers should be reported to
le Council of Defense. Not only
re many of the securities so offeri
worthless, but, to quote a comlunication
from the Council of Na?onal
Defense at Washington, "the
lere fact that any security is ofjred
in this unpatriotic way justies
suspicion and an investigation
E its character."
Government bonds are, of course,
le best security in the world. Govmment
bonds should be held by
ieir original purchasers, except
hen their sale is rendered abso
itely necessary by misfortune.
PERCY OUZTS A PRISONER.
dgefield Boy Known to Man/ People
of Abbevile, Misting in
Action.
Mr. Joseph Percy Ouzts, son of
\>i late Mr. Ouzts, who was postlaster
of Edgefield, has been reorted
"missing in action" in the
larine casualty list of Saturday
reek . He is a nephew of Mr. D. A.
r. Ouzts and well known to many
itizens of Abbeville. The young
i
lan's mother has been informed of
ic misfortune in the following let\
?r from the navv deDartment. nrint
d in The Edgefield Chronicle:
Washington, D. C., July 8th, 1918.
Irs J. P. Ouzts,
Edgefield, S. C. *
Ir. Dear Mrs. Ouzts:?
This morning I received from our
lutual friend Mr. Harling, a letter
jlling me of the telegram received
y you with reference ot your son.
immediately went to see General
iarnett who called for the files and
aformed me that hey had .received
o information since the receipt of
he cable giving the list of those
miscin? in action," which list inluded
your boy. Since that time
hey have received other lists of
hose killed, wounded or missing,
>ut no further mention has been
aade of your son, and his concluion
is that he was captured by the
nenay. Gen. Barnett states that
missing in action" in practically ev
ry caee means "captured by the
nemy." He believes that this is alaost
certain in this case because of
he nature of -the actions in which
he Marines have been participating,
presume from his statements that
le means that the Marines have
ieen gaining ground, and that if a
ioy is either killed or wounded in
n advance, his body would certainly
all into the hands of our forces. If
he boy had been either killed or seiously
wounded, the Germans would
lot have bothered to capture and
told him, or take him with them,
therefore, I conclude that the boy
s alright, but is a prisoner.
I asked when they would probaily
get any information about prisiners.
They advise me that the only
vay they get such information is
hrough Switzerland, where the Red
3ross agencies secure the list of
>risoners whenever such lists are
>ublished at German headquarters,
indfrom Switzerland this informaion
is forwarded here. They say it
vill probably be a month before such
i list is received as they generally
lecure this information about a
nonth after a man has been reportid
missing in action. They have
>romised to let you know promptly
vhenever they hear.
While distressing you can yet
:omfort yourself with the thought
Viof i-F ativ hnrlv r*nn win cood treat
nent from the German army your
joy will find a way to do it, and the
ihances are great that he will yet
urn up alright. His impetuousness
nay have made a captive, but we
enow he was doing his duty like the
>rave boy he is, and you would not
lave him do less. I somehow feel
hat God will bring him back to you
n safety.
' Sincerely, j,
JAMES F. BYRNES.
