DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAIN JIE>T ' Mlu KEITT'S COUNTRY HO>IE; I The Drayton Rutherford Chapter h.ad a-most delightful afternoon ana a good meeting at the country--home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Keitt on Tuesday. Two years ago Mr. ana Mrs. Keitt er.tertained the chapter i a.n<i we art; &uie umi an ?uv .? pleasure of enjoying their hospitality on that occasion were delighted ai another opportunity to attend a meet ing at the same place. When we were asked t? hocK up 111 and take some of the Daughters down there we immediately accepted, because we had not forgotten tha, delicious country ham on the otuex ^' aoinn nnt to sueak of the piea^itre of attending the meeting, and we were not disappointed, because tliere is still there (or there was the other day) a whole lot more of that deli cious country ham. i3?it country liam was not all that was there, but is was so good tliat the memory or it lingers amd we just can't help men tioning it and really ieaturing it. .it was a business maeting of the Chapter and the ladies attf-nded to the business part, and then th<*y had a general meeting to whicn the men * J ^ T?v> Too were mvueu, <tuu ui. . a..-,. by invitation told of the work of the wayside hospital in the Confederate service, and urged the ladies -o , Red Cross organizations and get ready for!service, if their services .should be needed in the present war. He said if they would emulate their mothers they would liave something to work for, because the work ana the help of the women in the Confed erate service was a great boon to the suffering soldier and that the women made many sacrifices in that strug gle. Now there were many improve ments and many more conveniences ii* caring for the sick and wounded than they had in the Confederacy. Dr. Mcintosh also gave many in stances of local work and facts wliich have not been recorded. The ladies passed a resolution thanking him for his talk and asked him to write it nnt cr? that it may be preserved for the archives of the historical depart ment. 'We give a few excerpts from hia talk in relation to the work of the wayside hospital in Newberry. Dr. Mcintosh was in the medical service during the entire four years of the Confederacy and did some good work ?1 nvnoiiont service, and clilU 1 CUUVl CU what he says about it is from his own experiences. He probably re ceived the last order issued by the surgeon general of the Confederacy when he was ordered to take care of the soldiers as they were return ing home. The surgeon general pass ed through Newberry and the order: was given here. Dr. Mcintosh said in part: I In response to the call of Prof. R. W. Barnwell in August, 1S61, for curses ana supplies xor uc wounded around Manassas, Va., a so-, ciety for this purpose was at vonce organized by the ladies of Newber ry and supplies forwarded to Char-| lottesviile, Va., and tne society' promptly arranged for two members of the association to meet each daily train during the week with such food and refreshments as were needed and <wntiiiued this daily feeding and taK ing care of the passing soldiers dur ing the Civil war. But after hign water destroyed th.e railroad bridge at Alston, a wayside hospital was established to care for the sick and needy soldiers as they arrived from Winnsboro on their way home. This wayside home occupied different quarters , as circumstances made a, j change of location necessary. And ai the time of Sherman's march through! the State, occupied the second story, of the brick building kt the corner ! of Main street and the public square,' then known as Grierson's Drug store and now occupied by the Summer J Bros', grocery store, with an, ar-| rangement of the ladies that two or them in turn would furnish the food and necessary supplies, and look to the nursing for 24 hours. Upon the request of the ladies, Mrs. Robt. Stew-! art, Mrs. F. B. Higgins, Mrs. CoLj Fair, Mrs. L. J. Jones and Mrs. jonn Brantley, I took charge of the home. The following week two cases of small pox having developed, the home was; discontinued. ' I 'With all railroad communication! artn+h r\f \TPwh#>rrv destroved by Sher-! OVUVU V*. m _ _ man's army, the tide of travel from the Confederate forces in Virginia and North Carolina had to use the public road from Winnsboro to New berry and there came a pressing need for hospital service to take care of the number of weary and sick sol diers* daily calling for help and nurs ing. With the aid of Surgeon Kilgore or Laurens, the south wing of the Lu theran college was secured for hos pital purposes. The women of the, town generously divided their scanty | stores and the medical purveyor, Sur-| geon J. J. Chisolm, who occupied the f Mnnc nf the eolleee to a ro-! quest for assistance, replied, "Go in and help yourselves for it soon will be in the hands of the enemy." The Confederate commissary furnished all food necessary. And in a few days we had a 'heat and comfortable hospital of thirty beds for the sicfc. This was probably the last Confeder ate hospital organized during the TO HOLD A MOTHER MEETING NEXT TUESDAY AFTERNOON* We could not attend the meeting or" citizens on Tuesday afternoon be pansp ahont that time we were ensas ed with Mr. Jim Wheeler in paving our respects to some of that good country ham at the home of Mr. ana Mrs. T. W. Keitt eight and a half miles from Xewberrv. but we under stand that there was a fairly good at tendance and. much interest mam fested in the organizing of a cham ber of commerce and providing a mar ket for the farm produce which we have been "advising the farmers to grow. Several good speeches were made ?we can always get them?we are long on good speeches?and a com mittee was appointed to get up a set cf rules and by-laws and report to another meeting to be held next Tues day afternoon at the court house at 6 o'clock. The committee is com posed of J. B. Hunter. G. W. Summer, T V " <7 1? YV. vromer, j, x. .u^van, u. x-. Wright. We are not opposed to good speeches, do not misunderstand us, but the time has now come for ac tion. We had a meeting here about the first of March to take up this same thing of a market, and we had <3nmp frnnd speeches then and a good many of them, and a committee was appointed some time after that meet ing. and if that committee lias ever met we have never heard of it. T7ie market is the thing. It should be as sured before the planting time is over and if it is it will prove the orrontoct incentive we could hold out to the farmer to grow more food stufi than he will need for his own use. There is little doubt now that there will be good prices for food stuffs There are good prices right now, and they will likely prevail, but the pro ducer is not getting the benefit ol them. The money is being made by the middle man ana tne speculator, and we are finding no fault with these men, but we want to see If wt cannot get some, plan by which tht man who produces the wealth of tht country may reap some of the bene fits to himself. A good market for him will help, where he can sell foi tVio pa ah ot market Drice.

I at onct recognized in their midst the sur geon general of the C. S. A., anc going out to speak to him, reported that iiis assigning me to duty ai Charleston had not been carried out but that I was here in Newberry in charge of a hospital, recently organ ized and invited him to visit samt and give me a new assignment for duty. His reply was. "Continue here on duty as long as there is a sicu soldier to take care of." Thus New berry had a Confederate hospital that was honored by the personal ap provai a.Liu racpuuu ui wc general of the Confederate Stale? and was taking care of the soldiers for weeks after the close of the Ofvij war. And there were many tearfui farewells given as the soldier boy, his flag furled, his country conquer ed, his days dark and dreary, bade good-bye to his new found friends, the women of the soutn, wno wun brave hearts and an unconquerea spirit cheered him and bid him God speed. Mrs. L. W. Floyd read a most ex cellent paper which she has promis ed to let The Herald and News print after it passes the censorship of the local historian of the Chapter. Mr. John M. Klnard was called on and made a talk in which he spose of the patriotism of the Confederate soldier and paid tribute to the wo men. He said lie had the pleasure of being present at the organization of the Drayton Rutherford Chapter and then he talked about the present war and said we would exterminate the Kaiser and told of the patriotism that was manifest in the north and how American flags were displayed and of the enthusiasm of the people. A number of Confederate veterans were invited to this meeting as they tt.qtq TTQQro otm anH ftiov pninv<v? TTti g V " V J VMri U v? V?* V J the hospitality of the Daughters. After the talks and the business meeting the guests were given a most delicious dinner to which we have already alluded. And we can speak at least for this writer ana Jim Wheeler, we enjoyed it and show ed our appreciation of it in a very substantial way. Mr. Keitt has a most delightful country home with all the modern conveniences and f >r the time being we all forgot about the high co9t of living. He lives at what is known as uie wauungiuu pia^e juau eigat and half miles east of Newberry ana in a fine section of the county with good roads and fine farming lands. We could not seriously object to De ing called on oftener than every two years to take some of the Daur" 3 to a meeting like this; one. ("S03IE SOLEJI> TRl'THS ASP STUBBORN FACTS" A BO IT WAR f (By D. A. Dickert.) Mr. Balfour anri his associates, who have ccme over here to tell our peo ple how to conduct a war and malie no mistakes, are giving a good deal of valuable information to the presi dent. From the battles the English, have foueht and lost and Mr. Bai four's position while battles were go ing on, he would be just as competent to give instructions as "heathen Chin ese." But it is nevertheless kind of these Britons and French to try and ke-p our soldiers out of pitfalls, especially when they are going to fight their battles. But while they i are over here, it would be greatly to J their interest and advantage if they! ; would round up a few old Oonfeder-J > ates, and learn lessons in military economics. Reading what Lord Northcliffe ha3 tr? sflv about, what our exneditionarv! soldiers will have to provide them selves with, it is no wonder that after three years of bloody warfare the? come to us crying and urging us to come and help with our navies, our armies and above ail else, send them iooa, eise uiere vwu ut- a. iciiuiue m ; the land. This help is not for them-; , selves but for humanity's sake, to l save the civilized land from militar i ism, to save democracy, etc. So kind and unselfish of them. Now this Lord Northcliffe, who i3 1 the owner of a string of newspapers, o/-wrr>o nr mriVf* PT\P<i f refill ATI t> I ly to the,armies. He saw for him self what he writes about. He first tells us what is indispensable to 'the private soldier in the field. In the first place, each mess must have an oil stove.^ In addition to that, there I must be great bakeries on wheels so that the soldiers may have warm bis-j cuits and rolls for breakfast.! Wouldn't this put a grin on an old Confederate? Futhermore, there must be steam laundries fixed on wheels, to do the soldiers washing. There must be unlimited rolls of corrugated A/\TrAt>in/v f Vi/% orvl/li^rcj tontc till lUi V/UVC1 iUg UU& OV/iUiV/A o VV/li wn^ J ' ther must be a small army of tailors " and shoe-makers to do tlie mending. In fact, there must be two armies, ', one at the front and the other in the : rear, attending to the want and com i fort of those in the trenches. . The Confederate soldier drew his . rations in flour or meal, bacon or ; beef and cooked it the best he could , in the one spider and frying pan allowed to a company. On the march L they carried what utensils they had on their backs. Our marches were sometimes a hundred miles. With a piece of light cotton cloth, five feet square, with buttons so arranged "by four men putting their tent fly to gether, made ouite a cosy little tent. When shoes were too far gone, they shod themselves at the butcher pen, where lie cut out and made him self a pair of moccasins that lasted a month. Now if the allies would * 1 j put an mese ubeiesa uxi?cia m iuc ranks, be more loyal to their coun try and think less of their own com vforts, they would not now be call ' ing for our boys to come over and help them. .! When we think of the great dispar L1 ity in population, wealth and terri > tory each possesses and occupy, wt can't see how the allies can be so vyeitii. aiici ine other so strong. .! The wealth of the allies is com ,' puted at $500,000,000,000, the central . power at $110,000,000,000, the former j !; occupying 40,000,(KM) square miles, I ,' the latter 3.000,000. The population! of the allies is 1,400,000,000, while J the central powers have only 164,00u,-j 000. England has the great island, i continents. Australia, Xew Zealand,j New Foundland and Canada to draw' from. Every port, and neutral coun-! try, including North and South Amer ica, as well as. Asia to get her sup plies, while the central powers are surrounded by a rim of steel. With twice more war crafts than any other nation, can any one account for I the straights she has allowed her self to get into, that now her states men are over here begging for mon ey, troops and rations. She hurls t"ho rtnnh'nnal hnast tr> the world, that she put five million soldiers across ; the channel and didn't lose a man. , Balfour says they don't need our soldiers to fight, but for the moral j | effect it would give the troops over i there. If the many victories have' been won as their newspapers state, i what has demoralized their troops. And if the Germans are continually j retreating, as their reports state, I why would they need any bolstering * ? fV*/ r* ? orV? f s> ^ - i r AA ri Q I up uy LUC 01?,n 0 uu^u. ! The English ana tbe French com j missioners seem over anxious for our i navy to be sent over at once if our troops are not prepared.^ Gen. Joffre , gives a delicate hint to get our trocps j over there, by'.stating, "the best place J to train our troops is in the war i zone." Now the simple fact is just ! this, and Spencer Churchill stated ! it six months ago. That it is the worst of wastefulness to send their Dattle ships in German waters when a little I German lieutenant by looking through | a periscope and pressing a button | can sink Ei^land's greatest battle ship. The English naval officersL^are simply afraid of loosing their lives, and the admiralty of loosing their ships. They think our men will rusnj -in to save their prestige. The sol diers in the trenches "are tired a'nd PRESIDENT rJ. S. HOFFETT TO PRESENT ERSKLNE COLLEGE Dr. J. S.

All soldiers grow tired of I warfare in three yea*.- "heir en thusiasm, patriotism and ambition j grows cool in that time. There is one thing I would like to. have explained to me. Why is it! - - - T71 TT-rtv. fh_ ! that England aim r I dlitC, n itu vuv < most formidable navies in the world, with their great fleets of torpedo I boat destroyers and submarines they have been building for two years, having all the experience of two years fighting in the new methods of naval warfare, and right on the spot, if they can't destroy Germany's subma rines, by what hypothesis do they think America's navy, three thousand miles away, without experience ana unprepared, can accomplish the feat? The submarines will be concealed from the Americans as from the allies. Do they expect our ships to go down on the bottom of the sea to find them? But if our country calls, every man that is able and fit, should respond. The country can never be wrong when she calls her sons to the stan dard. When war is declared, we must never question the merits of the controversy. We must believe our country is rigni. 'We are in it now and must make the best of t. When going in battle we are to obey the officers without questioning their corimands. There may be many things that our leaders see, that it is not for you to know. We may lose a aozeu ur iwu vj. uui bottle 9hips while the English are looking through their telescopes from afar, while our ships fight and go down. That is no concern of yours. We mnst defend our honor, democra cy. and fight for humanity. Perhaps the allies have done their share, and it is kind of them to give way and let us have a part of the, honor, that Is piling up to' "be the boas^of posterity. I ST.
