Somehow I felt that I wanted to 6ee my soldier boy once again before he was entrained for "Somewhere in trance," so on ounaay 1 aeciueu to make another trip to Greenville, in this day the wa rdepartment is liable to change orders over night, and send the boys off without even letting tn? parents know when, or where they are bound. Well/ I reckon that :s war. I never did like war. I am a believer in peace. 1 don't like to fight, i and yet if it is forced om me I reckon: would fight, because I never was mucn on running. But fighting never di't settle anv srreat DrinciDle. And some how this fighting to give democrat to the world does not appeal ro me very much. If you. put it on tlie i ground that these ''blasted Germans" ! sank our ships and interfered wita our right to go where we please, ana killed our men and women, then that is another proposition, but somehow ' 1 feel if tde government tnev nave ?uits them that is their business, ana it should be the government Tor us. But so far as giving liberty and democracy to the world is concernea, it seems to me, if I read tne slgs or the times at all correctly, we arc tending very fast away from loca* \ salf-government and from the rights of the states, to a great Dig centralized government, and that means eventually the downfall of democracy. But let us go to it and lick 'em because they interfered with our rignt to trade where we please and suns our ships .But I promised myseir that I would not write any more a' c t ifie war,and vet when I hear & j or fiie big warriors talk so, and wiui j their "ifs" and "buts," wny I just | % can't help it. "I would go Dut Tve "got this job and can't leave.- Or, "I would go but I can't leave this business." Or, "If I was just not too old T wa o4- r\r% aa Ar ,4T O JL 'nvuiu 5'y ai uuvc. v_/i, & u?>v wife and child that are dep^naent or en me and I can't laare them." Aht ~ all that sort and yet are whooping up ami talking big about slackers, it just kinder creeps ove me. Well, we . are going to win tne war sooner or later and peace will come before very ^ lone And Mr. Wilson is gorag to be tfce instrument through wnrcn It win % ezLe. I am still believing that he Is *ie man of destiny and he is just waiting for the proper time and get- j ting this country prepared for a greater menace than the German autocracy. And taking advantage or nnn/1iti/>na tn milVp thoftP TiTH CSOUl WW Mft?X fraratioas. I made the trip on the train, not that I was afraid to risk III,' but It" is rather tiresome to make that long a <h*ir? when Tou are not accustomed ? t. ' Ktuch trios. And I also telegrapher the boy to meet me in tlx* city, which he 4kl. and I did not go out to the ?amj> at all. There were a number of dewberry people in Greenville, attracted b7 the boys being there, some coiag fey auto and some on the train /w +rflin w?a *bont an hour late, but ereti teen we kad about four Hours in . <** , Tie streets were alive with. the yo*ng soldiers in uniform, and m*n. women and children and automobiles ?uad everything ha<i a hustling air afcout it. The boys seemed bright and cfeeerful, and *he generals and colonets had an austere look comporting witi tbeir rank, I reckon. One austere and broad8houldered gentleman, I ^a&t the youthful stage, drove up in froat of one of the hotels in an automobile and alighted and as he walked in the young officers arose and gare' him the military salute. He -was j -wearing a pair of spurs and I recKon < he was a general. He looked very j in?cfa like a picture I saw in one or I th? paper? recently for Gen. Dura!, I fci-t whether it was Gen. DuYCf or i Ge*. Morrison or some other genera!! I did not kaow, and I did not ask any mm. . t ' " *>'>. , I had ifee pl?i??re of ?eetin<g Col.' ' - ; [ MeCuIIy of the regiment in v:hi :h my ! boy is. And by the way, that reminds ; me of one thing I heard which strucK i ; me as being a sensibly thing on tne j ! ; part of the war department, a second j I T /-?f />w/\ /\f f V?/% nA?v>noniAf I ! lieuicllaiil Ui Uiit Ui cue (.um^auics 1 ! I j had made application for assistant j paymaster m the navy, and liaa been | accepted, but when he sent in his resignation from the army the department would not accept it, on tlie i ground that it would not be right 1 | to train men for the army and Uien j | let them resign and go into the navy. I .And that strikes me as a sensible ruli ! ing. And by the way further, for tills j I vacancy the commanding officer and J I the commander-in-chief had selected | a "top''" sergeant from another compsI ny and was going to make him second j lieutenant over the "top" sergeant j of the company in which hi? vacancy ! would have occurred. And in the race i of and under the protest of tlie cap- j tain of the company. An . that wasn't j right as I see it, but then they nav? j peculiar rules in the army and it is j not what you want^or what Is right, ! but what the order is that counts, j The boys are looking good and^eem ' to be faring well and are just waiting j the orders of the department The i impression seemed to be that they j would be ordered to France before Christmas, but they do not know any j more about it than any one else. Trie j companies are way below the war f strength and I suppose will be fillea ! from the new army and then there wttl j be more training necessary. I saw only one or two of the Newberry boys i but I inquired about them and tiie re-1 i port is that they are all well $nd Co- i ing well. They say the Anderson peo- j pie treated them royally on their re- j cent hike to that place, and the boys ( had a good time.- It is well. j ! I did not hear any complaint or overcharges in Greenville or extra1 i charges for soldiers. We took lunc:i ! at a restaurant and the prices on the bill of fare, and what was fully charg- j ed were about the same as in normal j times before the coming of the i troops. ? I And this reminds me tfat I saw George, the same George that was in I Newberry a couple years ago as a I partner with Jim at the Busy Ber j Cafe. And George is How running a transfer and drivig a Dodge. He say# j it pays better than the cafe hnai2ies& j and he is looking well . There were heavy rains in that lection Sunday afternoon and the rain seemed general all the way aon to j Newberry. I am going to make an- | other trip before long, but I want to i get the boy to come down and spend a ] day or two in Newberry before he | goes somewhere in France. He says he is very busy and can't get a fur* lough but that he will come for some 1- 1 ? 1 ?. weeK-eaa oeiure lOHg. E. H. A.

That will force many of the permanent citizens to move out. That is but one of the advantages of th6 cantonment. , Listen, Mr. Ed Wallace. The fame of "our" road and the way we are going to work it and keep it up, has spread away out to Texas. Eugene Blease takes his pen in hand to write: I "Hope Ed Wallace and you will get that road worked." So, Mr. Ed., yon and us will have to get busy and Keep this road in fine shape, because they are looking at us from away ovot % yonder in Texas.
