ORANGEBURG BOY >YITH l\ S. MARINES IN HAITI C. A. Howell of Expeditionary Forces in Port au Prince Sends letter Home. Orangeburg Evening News. A very interesting letter has just been received at this office from Corporal and Clerk C. A. Howell, an Orangeburg boy, serving in Uncle Sam's marines, w*:o was recently sent with other expeditionary forces to Port au Prince, Haiti. Corporal Howell was j among the expditionary forces who j served in the taking of Vera Cruz and after returning from the Mexican city, has been stationed at Philadelphia. When the recent disturbance occurred in the capital of Haiti, in whica the president of the republic and 160 others were massacred, the United States dispatched warships and marines to that island to protect American property and interests there and to restore order throughout the country. Corporal Howell was among tie marines ordered to the scene of the rebellion and his letter, under date of August 20, was written from Port au Prince, where he is now stationed. The letter follows: I should have written you long ago, but honestly the duty has been so hard that as soon as I come off guard I generally go to sleep. We fcave a number of outposts, all out in the mountains, just-behind the city, and it takes about three or four hundred men every day to go on guard. We are occupying the quarters of the Toyal guard in the city, and are pretty well fixed. There has been very little fighting down here, but from wftat I hear, I think the whole island will be under military control by the United States for some time at least. It is very hot here, the thermometer always being well over the 100 mark, but we fcave a pretty good breeze from the sea. The city is entirely surrounded by a range of mountains and is a very pretty place, but it is awfully dirty, just as all cities in the tropics are. We have not been granted any liberty yet on account of the unsettled state of affairs. An election for president of the republic was held the other day and things are looking better. He seems to be a pretty good kind of old fellow, part French, but mostly negro. I had to laugtii the other day when the election was held. I had my squad at ( the chamber of deputies, where all the senators and ministers gathered to elect a president. Some were pure Frena'J .while others were black as coal. The racket tLey raised was awful. All of them had pistols in their belts, as they were allowed to carry them by the admiral here with us. They were afraid to go without being armed, and I don't blame them very much. Fruit is very cheap here and Haitien money is six and seven saundes for one American dollar. For ten cents American money one can get a full bucket of oranges, mangoes and other, fruit. I 187 SPLENDID TRAINS Operated By Southern Railway to Move Georgia Peach Crop This Season. Special to T':e Herald and News. Atlanta, Aug. 27.?For the movement of the Georgia peach crop to Eastern markets during the season extending from May 27 to August 17, oouxnern railway operated j.&< special trains from Atlanta to Potomac yards on fast passenger schedules, handling 3,636 cars, of which 3,574, or 98.3 per cent, made perfect schedule and were delivered to connections in time to make market on the date due. For each of these trains four engines and .-four crews of five men each were re/ quired, and as it was necessary to run an equal number of extra trains in the j opposite direction, a very large num-1 ber of employes were directly connected the train movement, in addition to the very much larger number who did their part in making up trains and in keeping roadway, motive power and rolling stock in repair. This heavy extraordinary traffic was <->-1 iM-a/I nvor tVia miloG nf tfh A flan. ili\/ ? Hi v V iv V*. V- V ta-Washington line, over 100 miles of "which is undergoing double-tracking and revision, without the slightest interference with the regular traffic, a result which could have been accomplished only by a splendid organization in charge of a well equipped plant. Tbr the movement of peaches to j "Western markets 35 special trains J were run from Atlanta to Chattanooga, handling 219 cars, all of which moved on perfect schedule. The highly perishable character of the peach makes it necessary that it be moved with the utmost dispatch and the success of the industrv is therefore, to a great degree dependent on the character of the railway service to the great consuming markets of the country. BRITISH AVIATOR SINKS SUBMARINE Drops Bombs Upon German l -Boal On Ostend?Menace Well in Hand. London, Aug. 26.?A German subma rine has been destroyed near Ostend Belgium, by a bomb dropped by an aeroplane. Official announcement tc this effect was made here this evening The text of the statement follows: "The secretary 01 me aamiran) announces til*, at Squadron Commander Arthur W. Bigsworth, R. X., destroyed singlehanded'a German submarine this morning by bombs dropped from an aeroplane. The submarine was observed to be completely wrecked and sank off Ostend. "It is not the practice of the admiralty to publish statements regard ing the losses of German submarine, important though they fcave been, ia cases where the enemy has no other source of information as to the time and place at which these losses have occurred. "In ti:e cases referred to above however, the brilliant feat of Squadron Commander Bigsworth was performed in the immediate neighborhood of the coast in occupation of the army, and the position of the sunken submarine hnc hppn located bv a German de stroyer." i Addressing a deputation of landowners today, the Earl of Selborne, president of t'^e board of agriculture, assured bis hearers that the admiralty had the submarine menace well in hand. FORDS >0T USED IN WARFARE. Henry Ford Refuses to Ship to Any oi the Warring Nations. Henry Ford is opposed to shipping automobiles to Europe for war purposes. The following intensely interesting article aver his signature was published recently by the Chicago Examiner: I would never let a single automoorat rMif of a.TTVvrri nlant anvwhere WiiC VWV V *. C4r V* V* ^ ? ^ in t)-e world, if I thought it was going to be used in warfare. I look upon war as nothing more than murder?a wasteful sacrifice of human life and a useless disruption of the world's social and economic conditions by parasites who control the government of the countries now at war. I mean the militarists. I consider the man who aids tf:e war, whose goods will tend to prolong the war even though they may be sold under the guise of aiding the injured of that warfare, is an accessory to the murders of war. I can think of nothing lower in the moral scale than a man who will grow rich on the blood of soldiers driven to battle, one against another, for no reason whatever. Aside from the moral aspect of this slaughter, which lowers the status of humanity to a level of primordial brutishness, I detest the sinful waste of material resources that attends the killing and the disruption of the business of V'ze world, that prevents those men who are spared from the battle line from enjoying the benefits that come from the labor of peace. Every man's very nature recoils from the sin of this slaughter. No less ronncnsnt io the feeline that the * W w world's progress along every line is halted; that business, science, commerce and everything stimulating to human endeavor are thrown into a Jumbled, confused heap. There can be no stability while war lasts, and everything the world does is a vast gamble. [There is nothing to be gained by the nations that are fighting. Tteere is everything to be lost and everything is being lost. The rest of the world, TT-v>i/%>i jiQc nrv nnarr^i with either side, V> U1VU UUW UV v?v*. is made nearly as great a loser as either of tee belligerents, by reason of the legitimate commerce and the uncertainty attending all business and commercial relations. I have, refused from the beginning to sell automobiles anywhere in the world, if it was known that the machines were to be used in this war, I will maintain that attitude to tF;e end of what I believe will be the last of all wars. Thousands of cars were sought b> each, of the warring nations, but al] were denied, and similar .requests wil] continue to be denied. If other Americans aid the war with the products ol their industry, I am sorry for tfcem as Americans and as men. I am sorrj fcr America because of them. MOBILIZE FORCES.

Real Inventor of the Gin Rickey Ha Closed Bar in Washington. Another link that connected the pas with the present?the old with th (new?was snapped in Washington re cently when George Williamson, a res ident of Washington all his life, passei away. Williamson was a part of Shoo maker's historic bar and cafe?a much a part of it as the actual fur nishings of the place. He bad beei in the cafe practically all his life am wtile there had formed friendship: with some of the country's bigges men. He was secretary of the Shoo maker company when he died. As a gin ricky mixer Williamson was without a peer. In fact his friend: often declared he concocted the firs gin ricky that ever trickled down : human's t'broat. It was way back ii the early nineties. Col." Joe Rickey o Missouri, a politician and bon vivan : well known in Washington at tha I a- J.1 i ? J ? uiue, was m me uai witu suuie mcuuc 1 He wanted a new drink, somethini entirely different from anything he hai : ever had. Williamson thought a fe\ seconds and then mixed what is no\ i known as a gin rickey. He named i i after Col. Rickey and to this day Shoo : maker's has been known as the hom of the gin rickey. Williamson's passing will be felt b every old timer returning to the cap . I ital this fall. Every member of con i gress wto has been to Washington a least once knows George Williamsor , S^oomaJrer's has been a favorite re i treat for the big men who wanted t< . quench their thirst. And Williamsoi ; was so likeable and so well respecter , that invariably the politician goin: , there even for the first time discusser the topics of tl'r.e day with him. It has been said that many import ant questions have eben decided a : Shoomaker's. And a great many time Williamson took part in the discus ; sions that settled big questions. H 1 talked to so many big men and go the views of so many that he wa . about as well versed on national ques > tions as the lawmakers and diplomat ; themselves. Williamson f-.ad marked peculiaritie ' for one in such a position. There wa l one thing that he would never do an l that was to sen a annK to a man wn already had had too many. : "You'd better let me fix you a lem , onade," he often said to a person wh r had asfced for more. "That'll do yo a heap more good. 'Course you're hay ing a good time now. But it won't las always and you'll wish you had heed ed me. You do liXe me and cut it ou 5 altogether.
