Letters From "Over There." - t Mr. Carl Weimar, former sporting 1 - />! 1 A | editor oi tue vnanesiuu news auu Courier, writes his cousin, Mrs. J. G. Rhoad, of Hunter's Chapel, as follows from France: "With the Colors" August 16, 1918. My Dear Cousin Leila: Was - more than glad to get your letter and was especially glad to know that all were well and that Clare is doing nicely. We cannot tell where we are stationed but it's quite a distance from where he is and it is very, unlikely that we shall meet any time 4 soon. Of course I do not know but that is my guess. Pers8nally I am well and getting along fine. Believe that I have gained considerably since seeing you last and this sun has us all as brown as can be. More of a tan color. But there was room for much improvement, was there not? Was sorry myself that I did not get to see you before leaving but explained before that I did not get away from Greenville after once getting there. That has been almost a year ago. Your telling me of those watermplnns chickens, aranes and the like made my eyes as well as my mouth water, for you know how I do evermore love to eat. Tell Cousin Jule [ that I had an awful experience the I other day. Opened an American magazine and in colors was an advertisement of Cream of Wheat showing among other things a negro and a whole watermelon (cut in half). It was too mucfrN I just had to stare at that picture and groan and groan. It was so real yet so far away. We have had a few men in our troop wounded, three of them. The same shell that wounded them also wounded three others (officers) and killed T. R. Summers, of Orangeburg. Probably you know him. His father is of the firm of Razor & Summers, of Orangeburg, and he was certainly a fine young fellow. He was not killed instantly but died of his wounds a few hours after receiving them. One of our men was on guard at the time r - ' and although he had all toes sho' off of one foot and was wounded ii several other places, he refused tc leave his post until relieved and con tinued walking. King George, of England, was on ? visit to some of his stroops not Ions ago and we saw him. It was mj first sight of a real king. He wai due to arrive at a certain village ai a certain time. He was about tei minutes ahead of time and remaine( at this place for a few minutes. A the exact time he was scheduled t< arrive the first of four shells fron the Germans came over. Nobody no: anything was injured though. There are more little villages ii the countries over here than yoi could ever imagine. Every half mil< or so vou find one no matter in whicl direction you go. Was surprised as well as sorry tc hear that Cousin Hansford had died Express my sorrow to each membei of the family will you not? You know more about the figh that the Americans are putting up o] as much as we do for our paperi (U. S. A.) have much more news thai we get over here. They are doinf wonderfully well and there is n( doubt about it that there are non< better than the American soldiers. France is a beautiful country anc no wonder that they will sacrifice sc much for it. They are a truly won derful people in every respect. You asked about Townsend Weim< ar and Con Cassidy."T"was discharg ed from the army some months ag( on account of his physical conditioi and is now at a shipyard 'lumbei inspector) at Brunswick. Con is a first lieutenant and smc< getting his commission has been sta tioued at Arizona or New Mex-co. ] forget which. Give my regards and lpve to all anc keep much for yourself. Lovingly, CARL. Here is an interesting letter fron Mr. Claud Smoak to Mr. A. M. Den bow: "With the Colors" Aug. 22, 1918 Dear Dennie:?I don't know if ] have written you before. I think ] did send you a card, but really yot don't have so piuch spare time tc write anybody. Since being over her* I have seen a few things and it seems like I have hiked all over Europe. 1 have been in the last four months ii: four different countries. We are nov in about the worst place we have been yet and I believe too that w< are going to stay in this vicinity foi quite a while. At least until "Fritz' decides to move us or we decide tc move him. Things are getting prettj lively now tho' and I suspect before long it will be moving day for one ol us. I wish I could tell you exactly where I am but of course I cannot In fact the censorship is awfull} strict anyway. I can tell you I have been in1 the line for a good while now The life?well, it's hard. You can'i sleep for the rats and "cooties" will get on you in spite of everything yoi can do. The trenches and billets an all full of them. ,The last time wt came out of thfe line I bet I had al least one thousand on me. I had ? good time tho' when we were in train, .ing in France. After you get in the forward area tho-you can certainly look to catch the devil from ther until then on. I wish I could write you more bu what w*e say of course is limited Give my regards to "Miss Allie" anc tell her that I won't forget the nighl she fed a hungry soldier. Write me sometimes and let m< know how things are running in the ofd town. Your old Friend. SMOAK. Mr. Clair Rhoad writes from the front as follows: On Active Service with the Ameri can Expeditionary Force, Aug. 10 1918. My Dear Mother:?Spent mosi of the day up town with a class mate of mine, |Ie also worked at Greens boro while I was there. He is the first friend I have seen since leaving the States and believe me I was glac to see him. I also ran into a Lt Simmons from down near Pregnalls The nights are beginning to get ? little cool; the days are pleasani enough when it does not rain. 11 usually rains a little about five days out of every week. Am still oecimviner the histori< ground that I was on last Sunday The town is very old and has three walls around it, one of which was built in the fifteenth century and is in good condition. The earlier ones have long since been destroyed by the Vandals. During one war the towr sheltered the rulers of Germany, Aus tria, and Russia. The road we live on was used by Caesar and later or Napoleon used it on hVs historic re treat from Moscow. There are al kinds of unbelievable tales told about the whole neighborhood. Just received your letter this weeP dated July 3, so you see news is ? little old when it gets here but an mighty glad to get it at all. With much love to all, your devot ed son, CLAIR. Sgt. J.
