They are happy minutes, hours and days when a soldier gets a letter like yours from God's peo ple at home. Your acquaintances over here surely want you elected to Congress. I hope that I will be able to congratulate you in my next letter. If they send you to France, I hope to see you there. You would like France. We are putting up a hard fight, and the French people are full of smiles when they see an American. ' Oui troops are passing through the town daily. The wo men are raking and gathering the crops. Every town has it* super visor, who looks after the farming interest. The country is great for wheat, oats and rye, but I have not seen any cotton or corn. Spring sown wheat is ripe, but it is impos sible to gather it now while there is so much fighting ?o?ng ou. Best regards to your family. Your friend, Corp. John Vlad, E. Co. 112th U. S. Ii f.

Cooper and a Stirring Ap peal to the Democracy of Edgefield County. Fellow Democrats Viewing the political situation in South CaroliLna from the stand point of a layman who has taken no active interest in politics in a num ber of years except to invariably ex ercise that highest duty and prerog ative of every American citizen; the right to vote for whom I conceive to be the best fitted men for public of fice, and unquestionably if we ad here to principle and let it guide us in determining our choice for gover nor in the approaching primary there will not be the remotest doubt of the election of that "Simon-pure," unwavering and intensely loyal Dem ocrat, Robt. A. Cooper, whose record has always been unassailable, and as spotless as it is possible for human beings to attain. Speaking of loyalty-in a crisis like this, when our nation is involv ed in the nfost stupendous war in all history against a barbaric and power ful foe, when our gallant boys, the very flower of young manhood, are freely sacrificing their precious lives on the altar of our country to pre serve the liberty of all nations, to make the world safe for democracy, to forever destroy German Militar ism and so that America will always be safe from the ruthless Hun in vader, and safe for our women and children to live until the Millenium shall dawn-in these momentous and testing times it strikes me that loy alty, unswerving loyalty to our na tional government in the successful prosecution of war, is the supreme issue of the hour; and that it is the imperative duty of every red-blooded patriotic Democratic voter to rigidly apply this test to all candidates, both State and National and whenever there is a trace of disloyalty in the record of any candidate to without J exception, vote against any such can didates. t The ?splendid official and public record of R. A. Cooper is exemplary, whether as an exponent of law and order when he served as solicitor in his circuit, which position he filled for a number of years with such ability and distinction, his promin ence in church work and last but not least, his untainted and flawless rec ord as a consistent supporter and defender of the administration of our great and matchless President, Woodrow Wilson, should command for him at once our favorable con sideration which will undoubtedly make him the logical choice of a large majority of Edgefield Demo crats on next Tuesday and which will, I confidently predict, be the fore runner of his triumphant election as governor of our proud old Palmetto State. Bleasism in South Carolina is not dead, but only sleeping in a semi morbid condition from the heavy dose of political ether administered to its leader two years ago, and on the 27th inst, they will concentrate their mightiest elTort and voting strength on Blease for senator and Richards for governor, so let the an ti Blease voters put the seal of their condemnation on Blease's disloyal ut terances and record by concentrating their votes solidly on Dial and Coop- ! er and thus demonstrate to a watch- 1 ing nation that we are a loyal, liber- 1 ty-loving, patriotic people. " A word . to the wise is suificient." Respectfully, J. R. Blocker. 1 Congressman Byrnes Before Leaving for Washington Issues Statement. To the Voters of Edgefieid County: ? Thc congressional campaign has I closed. I have attended every meet- ' ing arranged for*the congressional candidates in the district, and the ] charges made against me by my ? three opponents I think 1 have sue- i cessfully answered. ( Now that the campaign is over I warn my friends against the circu lation of eleventh campaign stories. , Inasmuch as I believe in fighting j fair I do not intend to make any charges against my opponent* other 1 than those made in their presence at the campaign meetings, and I do 1 not want my frienas to make any 1 charges against them. If any ad- 1 ditional charges are made against 1 me by my enemies, 1 think you will agree with me that they should have ' been made while the meetings were 5 on, and I had opportunity to an swer, and the fact that they were ( not made at that time should be s sufficient evidence of their untruth i fulness. i Congress after four weeks recess ] reconvened Monday and I have re- i turned to Washington to be present 1 during the consideration of the bill ] proposing a change in the ages of the draft law from 18 to 45, to keep in touch with the authorities j ?rho ha vs under consideration the i proposition of fixing a price on cot ton, and to be present during the consideration of other matters a Stream i sman James F. Byrnes SHOULD BE Returned to Congress President Wilson says he is one of the strongest and most dependable men in the House. If he is good enough for Woodrow Wilson he is good enough for us. which ffect vitally the interest of the people of this district. And I feel satisfied that while I am away looking after your interests you will protect my interest at home. Very respectfully, JAMES P. BYRNES. I Advertisement. ] Leading Breeds. We have in this country 104 vari 2ties of domestic fowls which have been described and recognized as standard breeds. There are various Ldassifications. Among these are such terms as fancy and practical; eggs [ind meat; according to their place of origin, etc. For instance, all of thc recognized breeds are said to be practical except the Bantams and Games, which are said to be fancy or ornamental. Under the so-called egg breeds are irrouped most of those that originat ?d around or near the Mediterranean Sea. They are active birds, largely non-sitting, and do not as a rule do ivell in close confinement. Thc Mediterranean breeds are Leg horns, Minorcas, Spanish and Anda lusian. They are small, of excellent type and noted for the large number 3f eggs they lay. The Leghorns are typical and the most popular of this group. They are lardy; feathers lay snugly to the aody; weight is from three to five pounds. The American races contain what s "generally known as general pur pose fowls or dual purpose fowls. The Drpington is an English breed, the ethers are all of American origin. Among the most popular are the Plymouth Rocks and other Rocks, Wy tndottes, Rhode Island Reds, etc. In the Asiatics, we have the Cochin 3hina, the Bramas and the Lan mangs. These are, generally speak ng, the meat breeds. The French is represented by the Houdan; the Dutch, by the Hamburgs; Indian, by ;he Cornish and White; the English, Dy the Orpington, the Dorking and fled Caps.-Farm and Ranch. Master's Sale.
