Unce during Mr. Pollock's speech

> remark in regard to President Wilson
k* there was liberal applause and Mr.

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 ,

k any man with disloyalty."

hfeand what committees he was appoint^ ed

favor of putting a prop under the i
price of cotton, and suggested that a |
price of 2S cents should he the mini- !
mum, but that he was open to -con- |
viction and suggestion, and if any
one had a better plan to heln take j
care of the distress? oo' ton he w mid

k he explained the salary of the senator
and' said they would be paid only by

feFshowed a codv containing the pic
pictures wf the editors, and told how the
SiBjaper had been disbarred from the
M| mails, and went out of his way to re|?fer
to the McLaurin-Au!! correspondglence.
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. Mr. Benet paid tribIjjfciJte

up.
IVIr. J. F: Rice made an interesting
speech and the audience seemed to
?nirtir it He criticised the Columbia
- ?
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^

at them.

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

at the tim -h<? meeting was
held, and Mr. Nicholson phoned him
"nd invited him to attend and make
any suggestions he might desire, and
U(t ?a;d he would be glad to have the

Mr. Aiken had concluded, Mr.
Eugene S. Blease arose and addressed
th* audience. 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. II Uili W.VC A A w-v.- QWK- Mr.
Aiken, for the congressman could
and would defend himself at the proper
time and place, if any defense was
necessary before Newberry people.
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. That is the manly thing
to do.

LETTERS FR03I THE BOYS i
TO THE FOLKS AT HOME.
The Herald and News has been permitted
to see and to print extracts ]
from several letters from the home ,
boys over there to the fplks at home. ]
We believe that the people enjoy
reading these letters and then they
all breathe such a fine spirit we ar3 j
pleosed to read and to print them.
The first letter is from 'Nathan
'Morris to his sisters which they let
n? orint. All these letters are interp^iner
especially to those who hare
hnys over there and maybe have not
^??rd directly from them in some
time, j
We have several other letters which

Dear Florence and Jennie:?
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."

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.

Mrs. Hal Kohn has recently received
a letter from her husband,
Sergeant Hal Kohn, and he says he
is doing well and enjoying life as wel[
as a soldier 3000 mles from the loved
ones can enjoy life. He sends her &

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. I take her word
