FROM THE BOYS OF LEaiNGTON WITH THE STARS AND STRIPES " In behalf of our many friends j j whom we left in civilian life on Mav I 1 25th, as we marched away to join the colors of our dear old nation tc j fight the worlds battle to victory, and I who we have been unable to send a | token of remembrance, we wish tc j extend to you our wishes which we ; know will be acceptable, that each and even,'- one join us, if not in ranks ! to face the shot and shell, it may b ( : done as gloriously at home behind i the plow, the hoe, in the factories or J the railroads, or whatever else may! be your vocation. As we left dear old Lexington, we joyously, and as one. went1 to Camp Jackson, where under Capt. McEnI tyre and his body of efficient non< i commissioned officers we began oui lessons as a soldier, just as a child begins his first lessons at school. At first, and due to being accustomed to the life of a civilian. it seemed as though this first lesson was a very hard one to learn. But by their ever tireless efforts -and th?l j bent determination, (as all Lexing-j tonians have on the part of the new soldier this first lesson was learned and one we sped with one new lesson after the other.When we had reached several rounds of the ladder by four weeks training we were transferred to Camp Sevier. % ' Here we were very much divided up some in one company some in another, and still others with theii highly skilled vocations, to other work. Here we soon received our old -trusty friend (the rifle) when an other grade in school was . reached and all the more diligently the boys sprang to it With not only our new officers and non-coms.. but oui brother soldiers with a more trained mind than ours with all untiring efforts taught us through the many moves that were to.be learned by a skilled soldier. With this was a ten days rifle practice to teach each one to use and familiarity of his old trusty friend after a three weeks training and practice at this point we (with our very efficient officers and non ocmmissiond officers) were trans ferred to' camp Upton. Long Island N. Y. But here the cordiality with whch we were received is worthy of C. D. Kenny Co. Coffees, Teas, Ric Kennv's Snecial Che-on Te c. D. KENM 1637 MAIN STR ' Everything Sanitary I !

C.. a small town on the Piedmont and northern railroad about one half mile from our old company street: from here we went to Greenwood. S. C. via above road, thence to Richmond. Va., via Seaboard Air Limj railroad, and on northward, passing through eight of our great nation's Istates and some of our largest cities: such as Richmond, Va., Washington D. C., our dear old capital, Baltimore ! Md. Philadelphia, 'Pa. New York N. Y. and many others of minor note. Not only were we received with cordial hospitality at one of these places but at all. by both, our red cross sisters and civilians. They came with all kind of nice things to eat. drink chew, and smoke, and others came with good cheers; all of which M 1 J Xl was enjoyed and a^reciaiea to tne highest extent by all. Although the hour was somewhat late on our arrival at Philadelphia, (about eleven o'clock at night) there was a large crowd of civilians as well as red cross sisters met us with heartv greetings and our usual enjoyable confectionaries. About eight o'clock Wednesday evening we arrived at our new home. (Camp Upton) where we were surprised to find the beauty and convenience of a training camp. Here we were soon introduced to another one of our future friends (The gas mask.) althought it is, ai? first a very unpleasant friend, but as the rifle while in action, or service a soldiers best friend since which time, with our skilled officers and untiring efforts we have been making fair progress in our new studies. By the courteous aid of our faithful Dispatch editor we wish to converse with you our many Lexington friends from time to time. The May drafted boys of Lexington County.
