It was an orderly meeting and all the speakers were given respectful attention and there was very little ap plause or cheering for any of them. Unce during Mr. Pollock's speech when he made some complimentary > remark in regard to President Wilson k* there was liberal applause and Mr. g**enet created a little laugh when he Sgold his fishing story about the baits. J flgErhere was some cheering and a little B when iMr. Pollock concluded, and W Mr. I. Henry Chappell asked him: 1 **'s it true that you charge Blease and , A followers as being disloyal?*' Mr. \ F Pollock replied substantially "I have not charged and do not charge ! k any man with disloyalty."

John Auli is not a candidate gWor any office and this didn't do Benet HBhtv goofl ~rd had nothing f.o do with jj^Bhe senatorial race. He also read ex^?;racts from the Charleston American of spee^os of Blease and criticised W tbe speeches, but it was done in a |;v-i ** legitimate way.

State for its unfair treatment of him. ;Mr. Dial made about his usua: speech and told his usual jokes. He stated that he believed all tae psopl^ in this county were loyal. He said that President Wilson was a great man, that he had added an hour to the time of day and had taken all the railroads and turned them over to his son-in-law, Mr. McAdoo. About a third of the people left the building after the conclusion of Mr. Benet's speech, leaving 'Messrs. Rice and Dial with a fair audisnce, but not as large a crowd as heard the first two speakers. It appeaed once for a little while that Mr. Pollock might have trouble with some members of the audience, but Chairman Blease took matters immediately in hard. iHe told the audithat ho was olosp and Der haps closer, to Mr. Cole L. ?lease than any of them, and if any one charged (his brother with disloyalty hat he would attend to cue charge in the proper way. At the conclusion of the regular and official meeting, Wyatt Aiken, who was defeated for congress two year3 apn anil is aerain nnnnsincr f^rmerpss man Dominick, made a speech. He said that a schedule had fceen arranged by some ""little fellows" up here at Greenvrood for Itominick and aim, but that it was a "rotten deal," and fee didn't expect to follow it. but was aoing around with the senatorial candidates. Mr. >iken was very caustic in his remarks .about Mr. Dominick, and a^so criticised Mr. Dominick's law partner. Lieutenant Neal W. Workman who is now in France. Mr. Aiken stated that Mr. Dominic^ i;d not represent the "patriotic, loyal -- UU uvvvuv ycuyic VI IU1S UlSlIl^l, Congressman Dominick was not presentjjfcing at Pickens today at the^ 3uly a^^mfed meeting for thV con sessional candidates.

Mr. Aiken announced that he would not be present. at them. wnen .Mr. AiKen came forward and *sked to speak County - Chairman Blease announced .'that the official meeting was adjourned, "but that if >Mr. Aiken or any one else wanted to ^neak and the people wanted to listen that they could do so, and Mr. Blease left. A great many people also left the meeting and as they went they touted "hurrah for Dominick." This angered Aiken and he said he expected to be howled down, or the at'pmp to be made, but he was groing v to speaK. it was a iDig joke as no oi.e was attempting to howl him down "because they were leaving him to speak nmolested.

Mr. Blease stated that tSfk riveting then was not an official ~~csng, and any one had as much right to speak as Mr. Aiken had; that he did not come there to make a speech, that he did not propose to even attempt a defense of Mr. Domi? - "t- OMIrfilinno ft' IlJU. n.

But said Mr. Blease, in substance; I have been acting in a way as county chairman of this county during tho absence of my brother who was away in a sanitarium. I happen to know * good deal about the facts as to the arrangement for the congressional campaign meetings, and Mr. Aiken's statement that he had been ''handed a rotten deal" by a few little fellows at Gfreenwood was 9, reflection upon the county chairmen who had don* their duty, and in a slight way a reflection upon himself. iHe then stated under the law that no candidate had the right to speak at a senatorial campaign meeting except candidates for the senate, and explained how the congressional campaign meetings, under the law, were to be arranged; that t^e State Chairman had authorized County Chairman Nicholson of "Greenwood county to call a meeting of the ^ountv chairmen of the counties of this district to arrange an itinerary for Messrs. Aiken and Dominick, and this had been done, and said Mr, Blease, "this very day Fred Dominick is at Pickens where he was told to go, tout Aiken is here.'' Mr. Blease announced that the r ^ tttee had Fr'dav rf this week for Aiken and Dominick to speak at Newberry, and concluded his statement by saying, "Congressman Dominirlr will >ho hpr?* Mr tWjra** Ailfciii in pc?pae4*ulk invited to be present" If Aiken wants to make the charges against "Dominick that he made here be should eo on the stump and stand on Dominick's toes and make them face to face.

It's been a long time since you have heard from me, but I guess it has beenNmy own fault, for I haven't been in a writing mood. Haven't as yet received any letters from home. On account of our moving here and here they have a time getting our mail to us. When I first landed here we took > a long train ride and saw some wonderful land scenes. Beautiful' scenes and fine roads are something France can boast of. At present it is very hot and* reminds me of the , weather in South Carolina. The only - exception it is cool here in the morning and that's something rare in South Carolina on a July morning. Wish I had been home to celebrate the fourth. On that day we visited a little city. I believe the French peo, nle observed our 4th with as much patriotism as they did their own Independence day. It was good to see the Stars and Stripes flying everywhere. Hope that all of you are well. As am concerned I'm doing fine. Tell mother that the boy she used to fry scrambled eggs every morning for , (breakfast doesn't get them 'h.ere, but he gets plenty to eat and plenty of sleep. Ws occasionally have hard drills, but that only goes to make us enjoy a bath that much more. As I have said, we get plenty to eat and plenty of rest and some traveling. Wherever we go we always find a Y. M. . A. where we can go to rest and amuse ourselves. l sent a lew prims 10 some incuts of Lieut Booxbaums at Tenaflv, N. Y., to look at and will ask them to send them to you so T will be sure that they are safe. They sent me a very kind inviation to visit, them, but it happened that I had to leave the next day. How's my "Oakland 'Six'* running now? These roads here make me , wish for it a lot of times and as -the Oakland is noted for hill climbing I woudn't mind some of the steep hills * they have here. T forerot to mention that I am with fhp, original company now and hope that I can always stay with the same regiment. There are a. number o? companies in this regiment and every thin-vs his company is the best, takinar rov officers in consideration, I'd rather be in fb.is company than any other in France. .4s I have a little time left T must devote that to the "Girl of mv Heart." so will close, with i l.ove to all, 1 Your brother, Mafhan 1 p S.?Re<rards to the Manns, iVi- t frod?kys.

I received a letter from a party in the States saying I certainly must have been thrilled in one of experiences I had written of. I wrote back and told her "thrilled me eye." I was scared foolish. The place to be thrilled is in the States with qheering, iparades and bands, but the place to get good and scared is with bullets, shrapnel and shell. I will give you an examle of an American soldier's scare through. About a week ago I was taking an ammunition train up front and was was walking in front of the wagons with a Sgt. and all at once Fritz becro r? tn o V> c*l 1 An* rl l'n frAnt Af 1W and I looked at my Sgt and he wa^. pale as a ghost.

He sends her & ? TimnHon souvenir in me suapc ul a, nuuuv? shoe. Mr. Summer said he was going to put it in his show window at the suggestion of Sergeant Kohn so that the people might see it. We will let Sergeant Kohn tell the story of the shoe in his own words. He says: "I am going to send you two little souvenirs. One is a pair of Belgian shoes, called Kloffers. These were made bv hand by an old man, Charlea Vancuyzele, under the constant fire of the big guns. Every day he worked at tbem?it was his life work. But the shells began to fall too close, the earth trembled, and the ni^ht made hideous so he has gone away, a refugee to some iplace in France, hut hla aaugnter, a iarmers wire uas remained here and the old man left his wooden shoes with her to sell to th.0 people who wanted them. I ran across them and I wanted a little pair to send as a souvenir and I bought them. In broken 'English t.h? woman told me they were for fouryear-old children.

There was a general exodiis to batfcting beaches and so dense was the throng which made its way to iConey Island that manv women fainted whn* waiting for cars and numerous childdren became separated from their parents. Many persons who found vacant spot on the torrid sands prepared to spend the nisrht there, hoping for a sea breeze. Others, unable to escape from the city, took pillows to park lawns.
