Wind tour ef the country. As he sails '
from New York for France on the 1
14th, he will be able to stop only at |

of the members of our post to be on ]
hand to join with the Greenwood post 1
in welcoming the marshal of France j
; to South Carolina. >
\ Marshal Foch from the moment cf j

almost overwhelmed by the efforts of j
all America to do him honor. At pres-,
ent he is in the west, and before hej
returns to France' on December 14th I
will have covered between 4,000 and r
5,000 miles in his tours of America, j
The special train on which he is trav- s
eling is furnished by the American <
Le^pan and consists of seven special (
, coaches. He is accompanied by a
staff of five French soldiers, md by (
hnsts of the American Legion. I;
I Don't forget the regular meeting of j
the post tonight (Monday). The aux- .

who attended the Kansas City conven- j,
tion will make reports, and other bus- j
iiiess of importance will come up lor
consideration. We are counting on a ! t
full attendance o? the members of the ' ?
- post.
| Bemember that the week' December i
4-10 has been designated by the Na-11

>vill be one old friend of the marshal
>f France in the throng, the generalissimo's
chauffeur at the peace conference

iddress familiarly as "Casey" or the
French equivalent for Casey. He is
fom Casey of Greenwood, a former
sereeant in the American army, at;ached
to Gen. Tasker H. Bli,ss as his
chauffeur.
General Bliss obligingly,loaned Casey
to Marshal Foch whenever the
French commander needed" him, and
iccording to Sergeant Casey, from
;he number of tynes he drove IVIar;hal
Foch, the French commander
must have been short of chauiTeurs.
So pleased was Marsshal Foch with
the American driver that he learned
his name and called him familiarly,
'Casey."

YOUNG MAN SLAIN
WHILE ON FOX HUNT
Florence County Farmer Kills Fay
Poston and Wounds Brother as
Riders Come on Tract
The State.
Florence, Dec. 1.?Fay Poston,
aged 18, was killed and his brother,
Alger Poston, perhaps mortally
wounded in a shooting at Johnsonville
35 miles from Florence, today. Three
others are said to be more or less seriously
wounded, including Jim Benton,
who is said to be responsible for
the killing of Poston and the wounding
of h*s brother. It was reported
late tonight that Benton was surlounded
in a swamp by a posse and
that his escape was impossible. News
of the shooting was brought to Florence
this afternoon by a messenger
who came to procure ammunition for
the posse of Johnsonville citizens who
had set out to capture Benton. This
messenger was able to give only meager
details of the shooting, which occurre
i iome distance from the tewn
*
'of .'ohnsonville. It appears from his
.?tory thai Poston and his brother
were members of a hunting party organized
by Dr. R. L. Cockfield, a
prominent physician and president of
a bank at Johnsonville, for the ?nterjta.nmont
of a friend visiting him fror.i
I V:rgin'<4. The party had strayed on
' ? ^ J. 1 1 J
tne io acre tract, ui mhu vwnet uj
Jim Beaton and it is stated the Jailor
opened fire on the party with 'i Wiri
cKvter rifle as soon as they cro^^d
jh's line. Young; Poston is reported
tj have been shot from his horse.

(Virgini?. friend was struck in the
hand n.d in the side, according :o rcjocrts.
Two other members of the
party were injured, how seriously i<
'not known at this hour. ImmedhVly
iafter emptying his rifle Benton fted

posse as soon as they heard of the
'shooting, surrounding the swamp and

' office.' Deputies accompanied the
i messenger to the scene. None of the
'wounded men had been brought to
hospitals here late tonight. Johnsoni
ville is without telephone communi!
cation. Several telegrams asking for
'details remain unanswered. The Pos^on
family is prominent in that section
of Florence county. It is reported
that the people of Johnsonville
are greatly aroused over the snooting.
| Florence, Dec. 1.?The Florence
I Times tonight received the following
dispatch from Johnsonville:

J at the time whether Fay Poston was
dead or not, Fin Poston, the father
of the dead man, in company with E.
1 C. Ventress, went to the scene of the
'
| shooting and as they approached the
i house, Poston going toward his dead
json, Benton left his house by the back
and others drove up about the same |
jtime. Some shots were exchanged,
lone of which hit Fin Poston in his,
'hand, another passing- through the |
| sleeve of -Mason Elam. These shots |
Iwere fired by Benton at a long range
'from a 32 rifle. Benton escaped into
|the river swamp and up to this hour
has not been caught, although ihere

Coleman Likely to Appeal

allowed by law for the filing- of notice j

j The suit arose out of the sale of '
j stock in the Glenn Lowry mill to the
New York concern. At the tfme the '
deal was made, the value of the stockhad
fallen to less than $1 a share.;
Immediately after the transaction, the '
plaintiff alleged the stock began to
rise in value. It was alleged by ivir.
Coleman that tire value of the stock
'was manipulated artificially and that!

CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS T
FOR ECONOMY HOME (
i
Columbia, Dec. 1.?The campaign
for funds for the Economy home at j
Kings Creek wiil be under the direc- ]
tion of a campaign committee com- ,
posed of J. Pope Matthews of Columbia,
chairpian; A. B. Jordan of Dillon;
J. L. Minis of Edgefield; F. C.
Withers of Columbia; J. Newton Wat- kins
of Greenville; P. F. Henderson ,
of Aiken; J. S. Wannamaker of St.
Matthews; Mrs C McK. Patrick of An
derson and Mrs. W. J. Wilson of
Reidsville, the superintendent of the
home, will remain in Columbia while
the campaign is on.
The campaign for funds, Mr.
Spaulding said last night, has been
made absolutely necessary because of
the falling off of regular contributions
to the home since the. financial s-tringency
came up. "Coincidental with
the falling off in the contributions has
come a heavy increase in the applications
for admission to the home," said
the superintendent. "We are receiv-j
ijig the most pitiful appeals daily for
admission for orphans and motherless
children."
Mr. Spaulding yesterday receiwd
the following letter from the Rev. J.
H. Strickland, pastor o: the First
Baptist church at' Pelzer, wnich he
says is typical of the letters coming in
daily:
"A poor man here who has Bright's
disease lost his wife a tew clays ago
and he wants to get his children in
an orphanage. I write to know if you
have rcorn. He has three boys, aged
thirteen, eight, and two years, and1
three girls, aged 11, six and four i
years. He is a worthy man and he j
has no one to look after them and
we must do something for them if we
can. If you have any room send me
an application at once."
Mr. Spaulding said that he had lying
o.n his desk now applications for
~ jlor.inn -Prtv children.

RPENTER
?
Chappclls, S. C., is engaged in an ef-j
fort to protect the citizens of this,
community from the dangers of spec- j
ilative investment which last year:
* 1 ~ r\ f\ c\ a 1
L-ost the American public .>quu,uuu,000
in fraudulent stock transactions, j
To counteract this menace, the^
postmaster has addressed a strong;
[efter to a number of representative j
citizens urging the safe-guarding of
their savings by investment in United,
States treasury certificates.
The postmaster's letter stated a
"nest egg77- for future nnanciai sue-:
cess was waiting at the post office in j
the form of United States treasury i
saving securities exactly suited to ev-1
ery one's pocketbook as they are issued
in denominations of $5, $25,
$100 and $1,000. These securities
are insurable without cost against
every form of loss to the purchaser;
and bear four per cent interest, com-i
pounded quarterly, if held to matur-.
ity. They are particularly attractive
not only in their security but they are \
not subject to market fluctuation, and j
can be converted into cash at any j
time at a higher price than is paid for j
them.
The rapidity with which even small
savings grow, the postmaster states, |
is indicated in the fact that ?1 and a
few additional cents each week, saved
and invested in two $5 war savings .
stamps per month, will yield in 120
months $600 in cash, and $000 more,
maturity value, payable $120 a year
for five years longer, a total of $1200
?or an average saving and investment!
of a little more than $8 per month
for 120 months.
The postmaster will be glad to .answer
inquiries about government savings
securities, and invites the public j
to call at the post office for further in- j
formation.
