munity is not impaired, but rather
enhanced by travel and a wider
knowledge of the world's affairs, that
I desire to use every advantage to
broaded myself in every way possible,
to form my own impressions and
ideas of European customs and practices,
and that I have sought to gain
an insight into both the good and
bad sides of life.
And in this connection I will repeat
what I said in my former letter,
that I still have a higher regard for
French moral standards than I entertained
prior to being in this country,
notwithstanding what I have said
above. The people are honorable
above all things. They are fervently
religious and maintain their churches
with affectionate ardor. And at all
hours of the day citizens may be
seen wending their way to the cathedray
for their worship. 'Tis true
that this worship is usually Catholid,
but I have an abiding faith in the
right kind of Catholic, who, in my
opinion, is in the vast majority, and
if some of our people so prejudiced
Nl!' to .Catholicism would search a little
? : deeper under the surface of things
and seek more authenticated inforv
mation I am inclined to believe they
would form a broader opinion, and I
am satisfied that if the average protestant
followed the doctrines of his
religion as fully and lived up tb the
teachings of Christ as closely as the
average Catholic we would have a
better world to-day, more permeated
with the spirit of brotherly love and
fairness to mankind. I am not a
Catholic. The women and girls dressed
finely with beautiful, graceful
clothes, but considerably more modest
than in the American cities, and
^ - I saw no such extreme styles as are
. > common in an American city. I was
not approached once by a girl with
any advances whatever, and that is
more than I can say of some Ameri&- /.
can cities which I have found far
worse than Vichy along this line..
I Not once did I witness the least disorder
in the saloons or gambling
houses, and during my five months in

one Frenchman who exhibited any
. outward appearance of being under
the influence of liquor. Accordingly
one is bound to get the idea that
there can be no compromise nor halfway
settlement of the liqjior question,
but the proper solution is either
a rigidly enforced ironclad bone dry
law or the widfe open regulations of
European countries: On the streets
there was a marked evidence of civic
pride and law and order, and I have
^4. yet to see my first policeman in
.France, though I was told that
t Vichy's police force included six men.
gfc. How do you think an American city
of ?2t006 would conduct itself with
? a police force of six men?
Since now I have pictured the
French people in the above terms,
perhaps some of your readers wish
to ask the question: , "If in your
opinion France is so good, and grand

there to select a wife?" My answer
would be unhesitatingly "No." Then
fj- " possibly they might ask if I care to
live in this republic. Again my re?ply
would be an emphatic negative,
because I am an American. And to
use the now famous words of Stephen
Decatur, "Our country; in her
free intercourse with foreign nations
may she^ always be right, but right
or wrong, our* country." But I
merely express, the opinion that
> , France is not as naughty as it's
^ .cracked up to be.
One more issue of The Herald, that
of Qct. 24th, has come to me since
my letter to you dated Oct. 1st, and
I suppose it's needless to say that
. this issue was read with all the zeal
and thrill that I imagine a fellow
r-T* v
realizes when he gets a letter from
s
his best girl. A few days ago I also
received several copies of Charleston,
Columbia and Augusta papers sent
\ to me from Bamberg and they were
a rare treat, and too acted as the
means of me meeting another South
Carolinian, which is likewise a rare
treat over here. 1 was sitting in
headquarters reading them when a
lieutenant walked in and with eyes
' about as large as the moon in full
quarter said: "Mam. where in the
h did you get those South Carolina
papers? I haven't seen one since
last summer." I told him where I
was from and he introduced himself.
His name is R. C. Brownlee;
he is from Abbeville county* and is a
graduate of Erskine college. So we
enjoyed a very pleasant chat, discussing
mutual acquaintances and other
affairs back in the dear old Palmetto
State. And together we had a regular
picnic with the papers, which,
however, in addition to many other
items of interest brought us sad news
of a number of our acquaintances,
some of whom had died in the influenza
epidemic and others on the
field of honor, while still other unfortunate
ones had lost their heads
and thus caused their names to be
printed in the wedding columns.
Before concluding I will say that
while of course I hay? ai ambition

A GOOD FRIEND
A good friend stands by you when
in need. Bamberg people tell bow
Do an's Kidney Pills have stood the
test. Mrs. A. M6B. Speaks of Rice
St, Box No. 123, Bamberg, endorsed
Doan's three years ago and again
confirms the story. Could you ask
for more convincing testimony?
"I bad weak kidneys and pains in
iqy back," says Mrs. McB. Speaks.
"The pains were there constantly,
and when I stood they annoyed me
a great deal more. My kidneys acted
irregularly and caused me much annoyance.
I bought a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills and after using them
was greatly relieved. I gladly recI
ommend Doan's Kidney Pills."
The above statement was given on
May 30, 1914, and on January 22,
1918, Mrs. Speaks added: "I have
had no trouble with my back or kidneys
since Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me. My advice to anyone troubled
with backaches, dizzy spells, weak
kidneys or any other symptom of
kidney complaint, is to try this remedy,
for it certainly is fine. AH i
have formerly said of Doan's Kidney
Pills I gladly confirm."
