LONGSHORE. xt -^1 ??:?j i^(CW3 was ictcivcu in /iuucyiuc vn Thursday evening that Lieut. Furman B. Longshore had died in France in the latter part of January. The news came in a telegram from the War Department to Mr. E. H. Longshore, the father of the young soldier. Death was due to pneumonia. His father did not know of his illness prior to receiving the telegram-. Lieut. Furman B. Longshore was born in Newberry County, and about five years ago he removed to Abbeville with his father and engaged in the automobile business, having charge of the Ford agency here. He was a young man of good habits and gentlemanly bearing, and made maijy friends in Abbeville both among the business people and among his associates in society. When the war with Germany became a certainty Mr. Longshore did not wait to be called. Along with Lieut. W. 0. Stevenson, John Calvert, and a number of other Abbeville boys he went to Laurens, and there volunteered, becoming a member of the Butler .Guards. After he had been in the service for awhile, he was transferred to an officers' training school at Camp Gordon, where he graduated and was commissioned as Second Lieutenant. He went to France with his command, and was in the thick of the fight after the arrival of the American troops. We had a letter sometime ago from him to his father, telling of the killing of all the officers of his company, and that he had assumed command, and led his men in battle. His gallantry in that action won for him the Croix de Guerre. He was promoted to First Lieutenant while seeing' service in France, which furnishes evidence that he was a valuable soldier, and that he performed his duties in a Bl?1 A Specia To Subscribers: / UNITED WAR W< Many subscribers their pledge to this cs ey is needed now mo boys are not in the tr< subscribers will pay 1 ly to LEWIS 4 i THE NATIC A "U"U ,*11 ~ , Auuevnie ceiiiiiut < in this matter.

At the time of his death his company was on the Rhine, forming part of the army of ' occupation. J Mr. Longshore was the only child ' of Mr. E. H.' Longshore, of this city. | The pride of the father in the success of the son on the battle-fields of I France must give way for a time to ' grief at his untimely taking off. But there will be consolation as the days pass in knowing that the young officer did his duty and did it well. The people of the city greatly sympathize with the father in the loss which has come to him. GOOD ROADS AND THINGS. H. L. Ellis and Martin L. Ellis, of. Groggy Springs, who learned to j i farm in the same school witn tne editor, were in the city on Monday looking after business matters at the Court House, as well as other matt 1 I ters. They stopped us long enough to find out something al*>ut good j roads and the cotton acreage. They tell us that the roads are good enough for some people to be riding most of the time even now,' and that if people will buy the negroes enough automobiles, with whatj the white people already have, they, think the acreage will be cut. One of their neighbors bought aj car last fall, we are told, and he took the whole family to ride on the, slightest provocation. He has come' to the conclusion, since the bills be-1 x_ *? ?:i J I gai 1 lu cuiuc ill lui un anu 1 c- j pairs, that "When a man buys and pays for a new automobile, he has/ just made his first payment, and that when he buys a second hand one, he has made no payment at all." We were also informed that it is easy to get labor to make the incoming crop. All a young negro man wants now is twenty-five dollars per month for twelve months, with board, and an automobile advanced for which, he says, his labor will stand. MISS MAGILL RESUMES.
