Their hosts of friends in the county will be glad to know that they escaped as lightly as they did, their injuries, while very painful, be ing of a nature not necessarily seri ous. The name of J. Pr-M*thlas appears among those who were killed. This fact gave rise to the story that one man from Walhalla had lost his HfOi On Saturday George Mathis had gone to the County Treasurer's office a,nd paid his taxes, stating that he was going the following week to Colum bia, near which place ho would be engaged In cutting logs and timber for a local concern, the Guerney Man ufacturing Co. It developed, how ever, that Mathis did not leave here at the time he intended, which would havo probably thrown him to be ,a passenger on the ill-fated train. He left Walhalla, lt is said, just about the time the accident occurred. Nev ertheless, the report gained currency, that th? Mathis who was scheduled to leave here was tho mau who was killed". There is, howover, a differ ence in the names, the dead man's name being Mathias, while the Wal halla man spells his name Mathis. The many friends of Messrs. Par ker, Brown and Anderson will join with Tho Courier in a sincere hope for their early recovery from \ their Injuries. r-s II, Lee I ves ter, who. was killed Instantly in the wreck, was a son of tho late W.

Fricks, J. W. Ivester and Mrs. H. B. J. W. Schroder, all of Walhalla. Mr. Ivester had lived in Williamston up to a few weeks ago, when he -moved co Anderson. At the time of the accident he was on his way to Winnsboro, S. C., to accept a position with one of the manufactur ing concerns of that city. He for merly lived at Ware Shoals. He was 33 years of age, and is survived by bis wife, who was Miss Jennie Greer, of Honea Path, and three children. He is also survived by his mother, one brother and several .sisters. To fheso the sympathy of many frionds is extended. Interment will take pince at Anderson this afternoon nt ,3.3 0 o'clock. Tho Blamo Pixed. A corner's inquest was held In Co lumbia .yesterday, and full blame of tho horrible accident was placed on tho crew of train 18 for not laying the proper signals and taking other precautions. r~ ?OME STARTLING FACTS. 0 More children dio during tho teeth ing period than consumption kills f annually.

David A.AHenkes, 16th Infantry, U.S.A., has been sentenced to dismissal from the service and confined at hard labor for 25 years by a general court-martial held at Governor's Island. Henkes, who is of German descent, endeavored to resign his commission, saying he did not care to fight against relatives and friends. , Capt. Henkes, who was stationed at San Antonio, Texas, last May, wrote to the Secretary of War urging him to accept the resignation, which he . had'already submitted, and giving reasons which ho declared would no "?lnger allow him tb serve as an offi cer of the American army. "Further service as a commanding | ofllcer muBt sooner or later take me to Europe, and there bring me in ( conflict with my -relatives and , friends, although for the time being j my legal enemies," Capt. Henkes wrote. "My father came from Ger many. My mother was born hore shortly after the arrival of her par ents. Wo have many other relatives and friends there.", Ordered to "France. Capt. Henkes, soon after his resig nation, was ordered to Franco with the American expeditionary forces, and from there, on June-29, 1917, wrote tho Adjutant General in Wash ington calling attention to his resig nation, and declared his battalion commander, the department quarter master amtohe commanding officer of the Southern department had , ap proved his action. Again on October 10, while still on duty in France, Capt. Henkes wrote to the Adjutant General urging ac ceptance of his resignation. "Tho rnderlylng facts are unalterable," he .vdeclarod. Ordered to Return. Capt. Henkes was tjjen ordered to this country und summoned before a general court-martial at Governor's Island, where ho was formally charg ed with violation of the 95th article of war.

Washington, Feb. . 24-Evidence that in spite of his commission in the United States army he" was in touch with German agents, contributing to von Boms tor ff propaganda funds and working for peace at any price before America went to war, was largely re sponsible for the heavy punishment imposed upon Capt.

S Kaiser--Other Horn ia Austria, Greenville, Feb, 21.-Two soldiers of Camp Sevler, Privates Heinrich f< Adler, 105th ammunition traiu, and n Julius Hubenstein, base hospital, 2 have been arrested by U. S. Marshal C. J, Lyon on confidential instruc- g tions from Washington and lodged in the county jail hore, presumably awaiting further instructions. The charge against them is uat Btated. Adler, who is 21 years of age, and who has boon in thls'country only 20 j? months, is a German citizen. Ile says that when war was declared he was r dlscharged by tho linn Itt Charleston, for which he was working, and that v being unable to get employment any- j where, he enlisted In the army. Runenstein is an unnaturalized Austrian citizen, having been brought to this country when two years old. He was drafted at New- " ark, N. J., and was first sent to Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J., and later transferred here! Recently, accord- ? 1 lng to him, he applied for an honora- ? I . hie discharge as an allen enemy. This ' ho says was granted, but simultane-. j busty he was arrested. Both men deny any hostile acts or . . intentions, and Hubenstein affirms his ' j sympathy for the United States, nl : though Adler ls apparently a great ! admirer of the German Emperor. Following the" usual action in such cases, they may bc sent to a deten tion camp for tho duration of the war.-. Advertised Mail.
