DEATH OF LIEUT. 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

soldier-like manner. 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

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.

covered from her recent illness as to
