its meaning in English, and "Episode
du Combat de Quibbonier,"
which portrays a particularly horrible
scene enacted during the French
revolution of 17S9. Then I next
went to the court house which was
closed as it was Sunday. But I was
fortunate to chance upon the janitor
whom I told that I was an American
lawyer and consequently should
be very glad to go through. His
face at once became aglow with enthusiasm
and he seemed to deem it
quite an honor to take me In, apparently
not realizing that I was nothing
but a poor, meek, humble, insignificant,
downtrodden buck private.
(If you can think of any other
appropriate adjectives please stick
'em there for me.) He
conducted me through the entire
bBg? building and explained everything
including the fudges' rooms,
both the civil and criminal court
rooms and the wellent law librai1?.
Th? feiVii ftlid criminal courts have
jurisdictions about equivalent to
our circuit courts. They are each
presided over by three judges, a
president and* two assistants, and
also have a jury of twelve men. I
" j am very sorry that I have not had an
opportunity to attend a French trial.
The handsome library was particularly
interesting. The laws of all of
.our States with the exception of
Louisiana are based upon the old
common law of our mother country
England. While French law is based
principally upon the old Justinian
Code compiled centuries ago by the
great emperor Justinian of the gigantic
Roman Empire, from which
country first emanated to the world
the free principles of democracy for
which the allies have contended in
the present war. Many generations
later, or about the year 1855, the
<* ?nn Mo nAlonn fVlO TTT
QtlipOIUl U1 X' lauvc, iiayviwu buv ***|
nephew of the great military genius
Napoleon Bonaparte, formulated
f what is calfed the Code Napoleon,
which now gives to France many of
her laws and is the basis of all
French social existence today. But
while the sources and the foundations
of the laws of the two countries,
France and America, are somewhat
distinct, the two methods of
1 dispensing justice do not vary a
great deal, and I find that the individual
rights and remedies of one
person as against another here and
also of the State against the citizen
are practically the same as in our
own country.
Tomorrow I shall go on a trip of a
few days to the city of Gievres on
business for the government. Gievres
(pronounced Jeves) is in the department
of Et Cher about 95 miles
southwest of Paris, and midway between
the cities of Tours and Bourges.
On the way back'here I shall
probably stop off at the latter place
which numbers 110,000 people and
has the great central records offices
of the American Expeditionary
Forces. Upon my return to camp I
shall have awaiting me an immediate
furlough of two weeks which I
expect to use for a wonderful and
marvelous pleasure and sight seeing
trip. A soldier from Chicago and I
expect to go together. We will first
go to Lyons, the great manufacturing
city with one million inhabitants,
one of the leading business centers
.of France and the second largest
city. Then we will proceed to MarT
seille, the celebrated French port on
the Mediterranean sea, and the
country's fourth city in size. This
place is noted as probably the
world's most wicked city. I shall do
my best to find out about that and if
I do not become too much attached ;
to Marseille on this account I shall <
travel up. the Mediterranean coast i
from there to the great winter resort,
Nice, which is on the- Mediter- :
ranean and also right in among the <
Alps. Yet I am told by officers who ;
have been there that it is favored
with a mild and even climate. Nice <
is not a great distance from the fron- j
tier of Switzerland and is nearly on
ine uoraer line oeiween rrauue auu
Italy. From there we expect to take <
short side trips into the Alps, to the
separate province and independent
country of Monaco, the far famed
city of Monte Carlo, and across the j
line into Italy. Monaco, although j
an-independent country to itself, I
am informed, covers only a few acres
- of territory and includes just two
towns, Monte Carlo and Mentone.
Then we expect to go up to the city of
Grenoble which likewise is located
among the highest peaks of the Alps,
and from which place one can get a
splend'd view of beautiful snow capped
Mount Blanc, Europe's loftiest
peak. From Grenoble we expect to
sl;p all the way to the northwest of |
the country for a couple of days in
Paris. Please don't tell anybody (
about this part of it though, for we
are not supposed to go to Paris, but
simplv don't think we can resist the
temptation to see the world's third
city.
By this time my two weeks will '
probably be up, and if I survive the i
trip and am physically able I shall j
then return here. Within four or i
SENATOR BLACK'S TRIBUTE.
Praises the Late Senator B. E. Nicholson,
of Edgefield.
The following is the tribute paid
by Senator Black, of Bamberg, to
the late Senator B. E. Nicholson, of
Edgefield, who died of an attack of
influenza a few days ago:
"Mr. President:?I would be untrue
to myself and untrue to my own
feelings, if I did not say something
on this sad occasion. For it was
my good fortune, ye, my great pleasure
to know Senator Nicholson for
a good long time. I knew him in his
home town, where he was loved by
all the people, but I knew him more
intimately -in this senate. I have
served with him in committees and
in this chamber and can testify to
his faithfulness and sincerity on all
occasions.
"In the death of Senator Nicholson
Edgefield county has lost one of
her most beloved sons, this senate,
pne of her ablest members, and the
State of South Carolina one of her
best citizens.
"As we stand here today with sad
hearts and bowed heads, we miss
him, we miss him now, and will miss
him for many days to come. ^ We
miss his strong argument in debate.
We miss his genial smile as he met
his brother senators. We miss his
merry laugh as he went in and out
among the members of this body.
"During the first week of this session
he was in his seat, but soon he
was subject to sickness and went to
his home in Edgefield, there to remain
only a short time before he was
^ / * 4 ^iin i en Atr
u aii&pui lcu tuat uuuiovuiviou
country from whose bourne no traveler
returns." He was called early
in life, but we can look back on that
life as being well spent for the up-,
building of mankind and for the
glory of God.
"Mr. President, may it be said of
us all when we are called hence, as
we can truthfully say of him today,
the world was made better by his
having lived in it."

five days after I get back here I expect
to begin my slow return journey
a
and voyage to the dearest and best
of them all, the good old U. S. A. -I
am afraid that I can't get to Bamberg
in less than five or six months,
but anyhow it will certainly be a
glad day for this little boy of your
dear old Uncle Sam's when once more
he marches under the Stars and
Stripes, to the strains of the Star
Spangled Banner qn the sacred soil
of Old Glory's own fair land. During
the several days after my return
from the furlough I shall of course,
be very busy making preparations
for my final departure and consequently
think it will be almost impossible
for me to write another letter,
However, if the opportunity
offers itself I shall be glad to write
you of my experiences, observations,'
and impressions gained in these wonderful
cities, and also attempt to describe
my emotions while surrounded
by some of the world's grandest and
most picturesque scenery. Still as I
said, this will be altogether improbable,
and I desire to extend to The
Herald and the people, of Bamberg
county generally my very kindest regards
and best wishes.
Very sincerely yours,

LOOK HERE FOR IT
Many a Bamberg Reader Will be
Interested.
When people read about the cures
made by a medicine endorsed from
far away, is it surprising that thev
wonder if the statements are true:
But when they read of cases right
here at home, positive proof is within
their reach, for close investigation
is an easy matter. Read Bamberg
endorsement of Doan's Kidney Fills.
J. H. Murphy, farmer, Elm St..
says: "In my estimation, Doan's
Kidney Pills are the best kidney
remedy on the market and I can
honestly recommend them. I haven't
had occasion to use any Doan's Kidney
Pills for several years, but 1
clearly remember the good I derived
from them when last I used them. 1
had a lameness in my back and my
kidneys were disordered, causing me
much annoyance. I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they completely cured
me of this trouble and put my. kidneys
in good shape again, so I am
glad to endorse this remedy. Any- i
one having trouble "with their kidneys
should try Doan's Kidney Pilie."
