YISIT TO THE BOYS.
Reports from Washington indicate
that the boys who have been in the
training camps for some time will
soon be moved to the firing line over
the seas. In fact the report is that
they are moving them just as fast as
T>A.7o{sin mrwfl thorn and that
ii> is iu uivv v4aw?,
they will be taken to England f<fc
further training with the English be.
fore going over to France.
In view of these dispatches the rumor
became current that the boys at
Camp Sevier would be among those
to go, and it was also stated that the
boys had been ordered to get rid of
their personal belongings and to send
their trunks home. In view of thes3
statements a great many of those who
had sons and relatives at Camp Sevier
have been gcing there to see the boy?
r.itntx mnro before thev STO.
I went over on Sunday to see my
boy s);d spend a few hours with him,
and had arranged to take the trip
through the country with Walter
Richardson, bnt he phoned late on

be convenient for him to go, and I
went on the train. After it turned
so cold and rained I was glad that he
could not make the trip, because those
who were there in cars had a time
getting back, so Mr. John Danielson
tells me, and he made the trip in h^s
Ford. The roads are none of the best
at any time, and after such a rain
they must have been bad indeed.
I was glad to find the boy in such
" " ? J 1..nHU o,-,*
good spirit ana m goou ueauu a.uu
ready and expecting to go at any
time. I wanted to cheer him up and
reassure him that T was interested
in him and willing to do anything that
T could that he wanted, though that
wa3 not necessary because he knew
ft alrpadv. I have no fear about hi=?
doing his duty and making a good
soldier, and I know that there will be
no murmuring or complaining on his
part, and I believe that is true of all
our boys. They are anxious to movs,
the monotony of one camp Secbmcs
tiresome anfi the boys get restless,
and while I am glad that our boys
, have been close home while they have
been in training, and would like for
them to remain,' still that is a selfish
view, and I believe that it would be
better for them all if they were moved,
even if it were only from one camp to
another, until they are ready to go
over seas.
When they will be moved, of course,
?hey do not know, but they are expecting
that some move will be matte
very soon. They will probably po to
some other camp for a short whi!e
before they are sent abroad. That, as
T understand it. has been the custom
in moving the boys heretofore. The
infantry is what they are moving now,
and I understand quite a lot have been
taken from Camp Jackson. whils
others have "been sent in. And it is
also true that in some camps per
sonal Deionsings nave ueen uiucicj
sent ..home and the boys remained m
the same earnn for quite awhile. The
government does not advertise the
movement of troops, and I reckon that
is th? best. rrd while I believe that
the irfirtrv division at Camp Sevier
will he move,-] pretty soon T do not
L-r?/vcr flnv mnrp nhrmf it. than anv One
else, and yet we all know that if we
are to help fight this war the men
must be moved to the front just a.i
soon as they are properly trained and
the transportation arrangements can
be made . T pray that all of them may
come back to us, but that is not probable.
But I want to see all of them
go like men and with a determination
to do their duty and let the consequences
take rare of themselves. And
that's what they are going to do.
T did not get out io the camp bur
spent the few. hours T had in Greenville.
The boys were all on leave anrl
the city was thronged with them, ani
they are a robust and hale looking lot
of fellows, and have the appearance
of being wo 11 kept and well trained
so far as health sroes. And they ar~also
a happy lot of fellows.

E. H. A.
On account of the failure of some
plates to reach us we were late with
the last issue and missed some of
j mails, but the paper got there all the
1 same.
Mr. McAdoo says he is wearing half
soled shoes and patched pants that
the boys may have more leather for
; shoes and wool for clothes. All cf
us must do that. We must stint in
many ways before this thing: is over.
Newberry county is sure to receive
' one of those flags for having taken
[ more than her portion of the third
Liberty Bonds. But every one must
get busy and do his part. This is a
time for Cooperation and nx>t for
criticism.
"We can not win the war if the rne^i
alnno fifht if " Thnt i<a "\Tr.
| McAdoo said in his Columbia speech
l to the women. Every one must do his
part and those who are not in the
i fighting are just as important parf
I of the big war machine as any others,
if they will do their part, and the women
as a rule are doing theirs nobly.
"I have no doubt that those lines
will hold, and I thank God that
America's valor is now asserting itself
upon that front." said Mr. M?
Adoo in his Columbia speech on Wednesday.
And Mr. McAdoo is right.
I
That line will never be broken by the
Germans and when it is found th?.e
they can not break it then will start
the drive for Berlin.
WE RECOMMEND TOTtlf LESS.

PURELY PERSONAL*
i
The
Herald and News has run for
1 many years what it terras a purely
personal column. This is not that
column but the editor received a few
days aso a letter which we are constrained
to print without giving the
i name or residence of. the writer. It
is in a sense personal, and yet it is
not marked personal, and no doub*
the writer,, if a few of the remarks
were left out, would not object to it*
publication over his signature. We
I hope he will not be offended by its
; publication, because if there is any
; one that should be offended possibly,
; it is tne editor, but he is not In the
; least sensitive on the subject.
?o?
We make these remarks by way of
| introduction, so that if any of the
j readers of The Herald and Xercs
should object to the reading of purely
personal matter, though not offensively
personal, they may skip this column
th;* time, because this pur^i""
personal refers exclusively to the
1 editor. That those who read thi=>
column may more the fully under
( stand the tenor of the remarks by tho
I editor, we will print the letter before
| we proceed any further. Here it is:

believe that he is our friend, for the
complimentary portion of the letter,
and none the less do we thank him
for the other portion, which some may
construe as severe Criticism. We have
.possibly been too indifferent as to
what people thought or said of ??s.
so long as they did not take us for
a. fool. And posiblv we have played
that game more strongly than ar.y
other.

We are sorter like the Irishman.
He was digging a ditch alongside th-2
road and some one came along and
cussed him for all sorts of things
that he could think of, such as thief
and scoundrel, and he ditched right on.
Finally he fused him for some trival
thin? and the Irishman immediately
threw down his pick and got out othe
ditch and gave his cusser a 'rood
licking. A gentleman who hannened
to hear it asked the Irishman fiVv hs
' n'-'l ' ike : M them other op:?he..s and
then fight for something that didn't
amount to much. "Well," said the
Irishman, "T knew T was none of
them, but T didn't exactly know what
this other was and I might be it, and
therefore I thought I couldn't stand
for it." Xow, mind you, I said T wa?
sorter like the Irishman. T know I am

associates I do not know that
I ran claim to have any as I am a
sort of free lance and have never been,
a narrow and bitter partisan irnd a
slave to faction but have spoken and
voted lor men and measures inde- ?
pendently of factions. I have
stuck to the democratic party snti
have voted for men who were nominated
whom I would not have voted

party to do so. But that is a inatteo.'
indifference to me also what p. r>:

I hav#> been in the newspaper %r.me
in Xewberry for more than thirty <ou
secutive years, and in thar time, i
ing sort of a positive kind of human
and h^ieving in speaking out in meeting
I bave no doubt rubbed the hair
tbe wrong way several times, but
when I did not agree with another never
undertook to assume I possessed
all the wisdom of the universe and
that every one else was wrong, but.
have endeavored to maintain my position
in a parliamentary wa?.

In all these years I have the satisfaction
of yj owing that the record
which is writ will bear out the state- *
ment that no progressive movement
that has been for the betterment of
this community has failed to have my
hearty support, and many times I
have been ahead of the times and
have fought, ailmost single handed and
alone for the people lo move, and as
my friend says, I have fought for a
lonjr time to have the grade crossing*
removed but the people would not be
