t J. A. Willis and R. B. Cole Win Promotions The Formef In Now a Lieutenant Col- t . onel and the Latter a Major. A letter from Mutfor James A Wil lis, of the 323rd Infantry, 81st Di vision, A. E. F., contained the ^ratify ing information that he has been pro moted to the rank of Lieutenant Colo nel and Capt. R. TL Colo, also of Barn well, has won the spurs of a Major. Col. Willis is now on his way home to be mustered out, but Major Cole and Capt. Harold A. Simms, who made ap plication for transfer to the regular army, have been assigned to the Army of Occupation and are now in Germany As soon as he receives his discharge, Col Willis expects to resume the prac tice of law in Barnwell. The following is a copy of the or der of promotion from Lt. Col. Guy E. Bucker, Commanding Officer of the 323rd Infantry, to the Commanding General qf the 81st Division: “1. I recommend the promotion of Major James A. Willis of this regi ment to the grade of Lieutenant Colo nel to fill the vacancy to be caused by the transfer of the undersigned. Or ders have been issued for my trans fer, but have not as yet been re ceived. • ‘‘2. In my opinion Major Willis, through his leadership, has developed the best batallion in the regiment. His record during the recent operations of this regiment, in the Meuse-Ar- gonne offensive was excellent. His batallion under his leadership made a splendid advance, reaching its ob jective as ordered with few losses. M 3. Major Willis Is the senior in hit grade in this regiment. His pro motion, should it lie made, will be a well deserved one It will be noted that this regiment has had very few promotions among its Field Officers.*• ^ ^ ^ ^ W. I. Johns Make* Shipment of Steer* Bomber* Launch Reign of Terror in America Attempt on Life of (J. S. Atty. Gen eral First of Outrages. Washington, June 2.—Another at tempted reign of terror directed chief ly against public officials who have been active in their prosecution, was launched by American radicals short ly" before midnight last nighht. A bomb explosion which damaged the residence of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, in the fashionable northwest section of Washington, but which apparently resulted in the deatfe of the bomb-planter, were followed at intervals by similar explosions in sev en other cities in a.belt extending from Cleveland to Boston. Besides Washington, Cleveland and Boston, cities in which therej were bomb outrages \*;ere Pittsburg, Pat terson N. J., West Philadelphia, New York, and Newtonville, Mass. West Philadelphia and Pittsburg were sub jected to two separate explosions. Bombs intended by anarchists for men who had directed the force of law against them, pronounced sentence against radicals or Introduced legis lation intended to check their machina- tins failed in every case to claim their victims. In several cases, however, families of public officials and the pub lic officials themselves experienced narrow escapes. The death toll of two taken in the Washington and the New York explosions recoiled upon instigators of the reign of terrorism, gccordirfg to first conclusions reached by the police. In some instances in nocent pe lest nans were .injured more or less seriously. Death of Mr*. M. J. Delk. Mrs. Barbara Delk. widow of the late M. J. Dvlk, died at the home of her daughter. Mrs. W. D.

It is requested that every one to whom a medal* is awarded have his or her name engraved on the" space allowed for such inscription.
