Abundance of Sliells Supplied for First Time and Sammies Make Practice Ground Thunder. American guns are booming in | France, booming under the eyes of j observation balloons with airplanes to trace each singing sharpnel shell, each missile of high explosive destructiveness. Thus far the guns I have not been turned against the; enemy, but there is every likelihood i that the artillery will beat the in-j fantry to the front, for it is planned! to complete intensive training of the 1 gunners under actual battle condi-j tions, under the tire of German guns; and with their own weapons directed! against occupied German trenches in various positions behind the enemy; lines. While the plans of the American; commanders, are unknown, it would I seem logical from a military stand- i point, that after the artillery has; completed several weeks of train-; ing at the front in liason with the: French infantry and supporting guns,: the greater part of it would be withdrawn for maneuvers with the gradu-j ally multiplying American infantry. - ? * ? icr .IIIUUM its V71IQ *. 111*.. The cooperation of artillery and i infantry is so close under modernj battle tactics that it is essential theyj should be trained to act together al-| most as one unit. And just as the first contingent of American infantry will devote itself largely through the fall and winter to training other units as they arrive, so the first contingent of artillery will train the batteries, regiments and brigades which will be thrown into force before the spring campaign of 191$ is likely to begin.

The announcement is permuted now, only after the odicers and men have progressed farvin their intensive training under genera] supervision of France's most expert artiFerists.

What the American artillery now has and never had before is plenty of shells. It is easily conceived what this means to encourage officers and men whose batteries explode in two or three weeks ten times the number of shells formerly allotted to them for an entire year. Modern artillery training is a maze of technical details. Use Famous Seventy-Fives. In beginning the fulfillment of its contract with Washington, the French government has supplied the American artillery units with the latest output of the famous seventy-fives, which it is generally conceded is the finest light field artillery piece the world has ever known. It corresponds with and takes the place of old three-inch guns in the American army. The French have also supplied the Americans with six-inch howitzers?a gun which corresponds with the noted German 5.9, probably the most effective weapon in the en tire uerman gun usl. The Americans have been quick to master the details of the French weapons and are handling them as if they had been friends of many years standing. Under the watchful supervision of a splendid old French major, who speaks English as if it were his own tongue, they have taken down and reassembled the two types of guns with which they have been training, so that the most minj ute detail of construction and the i particular use of each part has bei come throughly known, i The work of cooperation with bali loons and airplanes has only rej cently been started. The airplanes ! have attracted many of the brightest ! young officers in the artillery, who ; are practicing to qualify as observers. The American chief of artillery in ! France gave each officer of the lower grades an opportunity to indicate cnprinl hranoll uia picicn-uvt 1.1 of artillery work. It is striking evi; denee of the spirit of the expeditionary force that an overwhelming majority expressed the desire to become airplane observers. \V: nniorfnl Stability. The French artillery planes, which are being used for training purposes have twin engines and great wide: spreading wing< giving them wonderful stability. The trip which the I correspondent made in one of these over the artillery camp and school revealed a wide sweeping range ol i It will pay you to see them AT fou cheaper.

MACK'S DRUG STORE WINS THE AGENCY FOR BAMBERG ________ =? ?ij-i 1- TntvnAn/ui/l ir? Simith Parft .lUUUUj;n luxvmuvvu ?.? lina Three Weeks Ago, Is Biggest Selling Medicine in State. The Vitona agency for Bamberg has been awarded Mack's Drug Store, and the people of this city may now j enjoy the benefits of this great disI covery. Vitona was placed on sale in Columbia about three weeks ago, and many remarkable statements are now being made by people of that city | who have been restored to" health ! by its use after every other medij cine and treatment had failed. | The fact that over three thousand j bottles of the preparation were sold by Columbia dealers alone in ten days after its introduction there is ample evidence of the popularity Vitona is enjoying. It is now said to be the largest selling preparation han- , die*! by South Carolina druggists and dealers, and the demand foi* it is i steadily increasing. Vitona is not to be classed with s the average proprietary medicines, which are in many cases nothing more nor less than medicated alcohol, which stimulates and does not give lasting relief. Vitona is more beautiful hills and valleys. The American ranges teem with !j most of tlie sights and sounds of actual battle, while officers and men work with an earnestness and zeal " which could not be surpassed on the : firing* line itself. Scores of German employees used about the camp 011 various construction work are getting a striking first 1 hand impression of what American . participation in the war may yet mean to their country. ; It Pays t/> lie Accurate. i > 1 Accuracy is a habit.
