MR. CHITTY WHITES HOME.
Tells in Interesting Manner of Visit
to French Capital.
# .
Clermont-Ferrand, France, Dec. 18,
1918.?After four years of turmoil
and strife, the world war has at last
subsided, and once more fellows in
khaki are free to send forth to their
relatives and the world a partial
expression of th^e great education
they have received while abroad. Although
I have been in France but
three months, I came at a time when
the game was in its finishing stage,
and, therefore, as my presence was
not sorely needed, I have had occasion
to visit some of the historic
;J+
spots of France, which have furnish
ed me witn evidence inai luis wuutry
may rightly he called "Sunny
Prance." Before discoursing further
with regard to my new environment,
' it might be interesting to relate to
'you folks, just when I left the Unit,
V
ed States, from which camp I
embarked, and my experiences on the
high seas.
After completing my course of instruction
at the State University, I
. was transferred to Camp Joseph E.
Johnston, Jacksonville, Fla. Here
* again I was subjected to an overseas
examination, and having passed, was
. attached to Motor Truck Co. No. 539,
Motor Supply Train No. 427, which
: is a branch of the Quartermaster Department.
This regiment was sent
!;5< , - to Camp Merritt, N. J. On Sept. 29,
we boarded a transport for France.
r , The trip was interesting, helpful,
ir-i and invigorating in every sense of
the* word. After a voyage of thirteen
days, our boat landed at Brest,
i I This, as you probably know, is where
; -x >tbe United States has her great
" "Port Terminals."
# I. . Prom Brest we made our way to
Nevers, passing through Tours, the
headquarters of the quartermaster
department of the U. S. army. I am
told when the United States landed
her first regiment of the expedition
ary force, the quartermaster department
consisted of less than one hun
r/. dred men quartered in several small
. rooms in a French village. To-day
we have around 100,000 serving in
this branch of the service?each with
a definite line work. Tours is our
y Grand Headquarters. There you will
find a record of every man, every
Iruck, and absolutely every pound
jfcVV.* of food that's shipped to our forces.
; It Is simply wonderful to see how we
have perfected such a great organiza>.
tion.
r "It is not my purpose to tire you
with non-essentials, but having been
Teared in a country town, and knowlag
your desire to have me relate
i
' some of my experiences, I am going
P , to tell you that I have been to Paris,
which-to be sure must be one of the
most beautiful cities in the world.
; ^ It was' during my sojourn here with
an eld pal of mine that I displayed
my' wide knowledge of. the French
language. We entered a restaurant,
% V . and gave an order for two beefsteaks,
or at least we thought so anypsfiy
way. To make sure he understood
our language, we said "comprehen.
^ dez-vouz," which means, do you unJV
" d^arstand. He answered "oui" (yes.)
Well, here sat two American soldiers,
' \ envying one another of their success
in having made this French waiter
- - * ., ? A i- 1,- J
understand wnat tneir tasie cauea
fdr that morning. After an absence
erf a few minutes, the waiter returned
with two fried fish. This is the
* price of ignorance. Without any
sign of our embarrassment we ate to
our own satisfaction.
Ever since my arrival in France,
' * s I have longed to visit Paris, the capital
of France. We planned our trip
' . more from a standpoint of sightseeing.
Paris is simply a wonderful
little village. A wall
twenty-one miles long surrounds the
city, which makes it almost impregnable.
The Seine river is the
main throughfare for trade and comKt'
7.A > T
merce. . The river, which is between
? 300 and 500 feet wide, spanned by
m6re than 30 magnificent bridges,
one of which I was told had been in
use for over 400 years.
Some of the important suburbs of
* Paris are: Boulogne, Versailles, and
Saint Dennis. Boulogne is known
the world over for its famous park
and race courses. Versailles for her
palaces and beautiful gardens, and
lastly Saint Detinis for her cathedrals
where all the French Kings are
buried. Across the river is the Eiffel
tttV* 4-a o V* ai crVi t nf
luncif nuivu noes iu a uti^uv ui
984 feet?a notable structure. This
was built during the Paris exposition
* at a cos? of over $1,000,000. The
8* designer, Gustav Eiffel, constructed
it of iron lattice work with three
sets of elevators, giving access to the
summit. It is used by the French
government in determining the temperature
at different heights, to obit
serve the variations of the wind, and
to find out the quantity of rain that
falls at different heights, and the
density of the clouds. In addition
to viewing these sights, I was directed
to the Palais de l'Elysee, where
the President of France resides.
' Other buildings which might be of
interest to most Americans, are the
Cathedral of Notre Dame, and the

WANTS TO ABOLISH GANGS.
Meares Has Bill for State Road Force.
Asks One Mill Levy.
Columbia, Jan. 31.?State direction
of the entire chaingang forces
of the state and the creation of a
state convict road building force of
prisoners above 17 years of age is
contemplated in a bill which Representative
Meares of Fairfield county
is introducing in the house of representatives.
The bill has the approval
of the state highway commission,
the state board of charities and correction
and it embodies a general
plan to which Mr. Cooper is favorable.
Provisions of the act are that all
convicts shall be delivered to the su
perintendent of the state penitentiary.
From the superintendent the
state highway engineer would requisition
forces for the state road building
convict gang. Work would be
executed on the state system of roads
as designated by the highway commission.
It is further provided that each
county shall receive as many days
labor as entitled to as the number of
convicts sent up from the particular
county and the length of sentences
imposed.
* Maintenance would be provided
by a one mill levy on all taxable
property and funds with which to
construct roads would be provided
by the creation of a "state highway
fund" from licenses from motor vehicles.
Another distinctly interesting feature
of the bill is that compensation
would be allowed all prisoners for
orderly conduct, this graduated
scale increasing in proportion to the
length of the sentence. It would not
apply to life prisoners.

Grand Opera House, which covers
nearly three acres. The chief educational
center is the University of
Paris.
From Paris my pal and I journeyed
to some of the historic battlefields,
which of course, furnished us with
many thrills. I shall not attempt to
portray the landscape here or to estimate
the damage done to the constructive
genius of some of France's
great architects. Suffice it to say,
the human mind can not form a correct
impression of the destruction
wrought, without viewing it for your
self.
Now a word as to my health and
associates. Although separated from
you folks by many miles of sea, I
want you to know that I am living a
clean life, gaining in weight, and experience
every day. Since leaving the
States, I have added to my frame
twenty pounds of real flesh, which is
conclusive proof that all's well in
France. Of course, as the war is
over, and boys are beginning to go
back, I am somewhat inclined to
think I would appreciate a voyage
home, however, am willing to remain
if it\ be necessary. During the
war the exprssion was, "send us to
the front," now this has give way to a
more familiar one, "send us home."

Half Your Living j
Without Money Cost
We are all at a danger point. On
the use of good common sense in our
1919 farm and garden operations, depends
prosperity or our "going broke."
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit, and make
money. Food and grain are higher in
proportion tnan are present couuu
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to furnish nearly half your living.
It will save you more money
than you made on the best two or
three acres of cotton you ever grew!
- Hastings' 1919 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money saving
garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the farm crops as
well and shows you the clear road to1
real and regular farm prosperity. It's

"I have taken two boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills and am glad to give
my public endorsement for the benefit;

driving is, no doulbt; responsible for
the weakness and pains I suffered
with my back. Doan's Kidmey Pills
brought me relief in a short While
and I never lose a chance to say a
good word for them."

Kidney Pils, because they cured me
