Lieutenant B. M. Epes Writes
Interesting Letter From
France to Mr. L. T.
May.
"Somewhere in France."
June 22, 1918.
Dear Luke:
Have thought of you and yours
quite often of late but have not had
a chance to write you a real letter.
Hope you got my card though and
understood.
This is a wonderful part of the
world and I'm doing my best to take
it all in so I can tell you about it
when I see you. Am located just now
in a small village but have been into
some of the larger towns and have
seen many interesting things. Wish
I could write you the particulars but
for fear the least thing might fall in
to the hands of the enemy and be of
some advantage to them I must be
careful of what I write. My address
is USth Infantry, 30th Division, Am
erican Expeditionary Forces. Write
to me when you find time.
I got my last degree just before I
left and asked that my membership
be placed in the Edgefield lodge but
as yet I have' heard nothing of it.
Please look into the matter for me
and if necessary, write the Greenville
lodge about it. If it is O. K. please
send me my card as I might need it.
As it now stands I don't know what
lodge I really am a member of. Have
met a number of Masons here with
us and they have been wonderfully
nice to me. Some are English and
some are Scotch but most are from
the United States.
Regards and best wishes to "Miss
Hunter" and the boy. Hoping to hear
from you soon I am, as ever,
Fraternally yours,
Beverly.

Two Colored Increments.
Thursday morning at 6:55 the lo
cal board will send 80 colored men
to Camp Jackson and on July 29, 56
colored men will be sent to Camp
Wadsworth near Spartanburg. This
is the first call that the board has re
ceived to send men to the Spartan
burg camp. In both cases the men are
ordered to report to the office of the
board, provided in the regulations,
at six o'clock of the afternoon pre
ceding the day of entrainment. The
80 men under the first call will there
fore report this afternoon at six
o'clock. One hundred and thirty-six
men to be sent to camp in July is a
considerable tax on farming but for
tunately the heavy work is about
completed and the same degree of
hardship will not result now that
would have resulted a month ago.
Civic League.
A very interesting and profitable
meeting of the Civic League was held
on Monday afternoon at the Red
Cross rooms. In the absence of the
president. Mrs. W. L. Dunovant, Mrs.
B. E. Nicholson presided over the
meeting, which opened with the
Lord's prayer in concert. Several
matters of business interesting to
the public were announced. Mrs.
Rainsford's report on the cemetery
work was that a new gate had been
placed at the lower opening ,and a
new man is to be employed for the
work. All persons owning cemetery
lots both here and elsewhere will be
called upon to do their share in keep
ing the cemetery beautified.
A very commendable undertaking
will be the support of a French or
phan, a free will offering to be taken
for this purpose.
The league discussed the advisa
bility of purchasing a new American
flag for the public square, and Mrs.
J. L. Mims was made chairman of
the committee for the selection of
of this flag. The old one is storm
worn and the League felt that a new
one should wave over our historic
town in these epoch making days.
There has been no time when "Old
Glory" was so much honored or be
loved and in a few weeks a new flag
will wave over this hamlet where loy
alty and patriotism have ever been
watchwords.
Miss Sadie Mims presented a very
helpful plan for co-operative house
keeping and domestic science.
The matter of the National Wom
an's League was also presented by
Mrs. Lovic Mims and steps were tak
en to co-operate in the near future.
The League has high and broad
ideals for present and future service
to the town and community and is
doing splendid war work.

Everybody Bows to Uncle Sam.
George V., kingr of England,
took lessons from "Arlie" Latham
in overhand throwing of a baseball
so that he could do justice to him
self when he threw the first ball
starting the play in the American
game of baseball scheduled in Lon
don for Independence Day. This
is .but an evidence of what a change
in sentiment there has been in
England regarding America and all
things American.
The British phlegmatic? They
ma^ have been, but now. A Wall
street man says it is embarrassing
for an American to so about Lou
3ou these days. In hotel lobby, in
street, everywhere people bow or
jmile a greeting to him, or shake
aands with him and praise Amen
la. To be an American in uni
form is to be a hero or be treated
ike one.
"Marvelous country, extraordina
ry people, you Americans," is the
ivay they express themselves.
Tl$s may seem Htrange, but it is
not. The fact is that the British
were disappointed, if not shocked,
when we did not come into the war
?arlier. When we declared war
they weie joyous, but they be
jame doubtful, if not depressed,
?vhen they heard of the confusion
ittending our efforts to prepare.
Then, too, they ahva.vs considered
,hat there was a lot of bluster to
,he American.
Now, suddenly, they discover
,hat, with all our floundering, we
lave made amazing progress. They
iee that we are pouring men and
material across the ocean and build
ng ships at a rate far beyond our
promise or our expectation.
And we havent't talked about it.
We have scolded ourselves, found
'ault with ourselves, and all the
irae we have been buckling down
.0 the business of war with more
md more energy and earnestness
ind effect.
They underestimated us before,
tfow they are likely to overesti
nate us. They talk of American
dealism, American unselfishness,
\merica's mighty powers. They
ire demonstrative to a degree
>ver American soldiers that you
lever would expect in the British.
There is nothing surprising in
his, after all. The nerves of the
3ritish people have been overstrain
id by the long trials of this war.
t bas been the custom of the
British to suppress their emotions.
STow they erive full vent to them.

and insolent in appearance.
"Don't hire her," whispered Jones
to his wife, "I don't like her looks."
"But," remonstrated his wife, "just
consider the reputation for cooking

"That doesn't matter," said Jones
testily, "we don't want any she-bears
