f t- jrar vill be over by then.
Oh yes: I guess that Golden was a

| For him to go and fight,
Fight for home and mother.
Obedient ever to duties call
He smilingly let us know that day,
Our Lee fair and handsome.
Went to fight for the U. S .A.
But, alas! Long ere the cannons
roar
Deafened his listening ears,
He obeyed that other call
And left for us his prayers,
He did not die on Flanders Field
Where heroes win their fame.
1 Onlv a T>rivate true to those he
w ** i
knew
And left a spotless name.
Gone where flowers blooming ever
On gardens of peace and love,
Know naught of war and strife
There in that home above.
Years shall glide away
A stronger heart than mine yearn;
His grave in time will be forgotten
But "Lee. Will not return.
A loving brother from us has gone.
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home.
Which never can be filled.

Dear Editor:
Am enclosing a few lines would

old Lexingtor.ian. and would like the
best in the world to be down there
now, but as it is I am some 600 miles
away from there, but the Lord only
knows that my longing is now to eith

boys who have been over for a good
while or to come back to the dear old
Palmetto State, and dearest yet that
I good old town of Lexington. I have

News, well papa sent it, but goodness :
j knows what becomes of all the mail ;
l in the army. Especially when you
are just as liable to be moved in ten
; minutes as to stay. I have been mov ,
ing so much in the last week till they
t are going to stir my Lexington blood
| if they move me much more. Moved
! six times in three days thats going
! some isn't it. Came very near having
! a row with the top Sergeant yesterday
for trying to make me move some
other guys cot, and I happened to be
a cook and he could not do anything
but get mad.
Well cooking is a nice job now for
we boys to learn for when we return
guess the girls or ladies will have our |
jobs and then we can do the cooking.
Well they just yelled mail so I got J
some again got three'letters and a
card and also got. two issues of the
Lexington Dispatch-News that my father
had sent me. And no one but
me myself can tell how proud I was
to get them. I'll tell you I cant say
anything bad about this camp only its
new not half completed so now as the
war is over cant say that it ever will
be.. It was to have been the largest
Signal Corps Camp in the U. S.
Just about two miles from Camp
Meade. I went over the other Sunday
and just as any one could expect saw
a boy from Lexington, there, it was
old Dow Bouknight, Now then it is
when any one is going to show his
friendship. He sure was glad to see
me.
Hoping that some day real soon I'll
be back in dear old Lexington,, or in
Prance one.

FIXE LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
POTATOES.
? ,
We ackowledge receipt of some of
the finest Lookout Mountain irish po
tatoes we have ever seen sent to this
office by Mr. D. T. Weed of near Irmo. j
Mr. Weed planted one quarter of an
acre and last week gathered over 75
bushels of the finest potatoes. He is
a farmer in every sense of the word,
rasing everything needed for himself
and family and having his cotton crop
as a surplus. These are the kind of
farmers that have helped win the war
by raisig foodstuff.
I like my work fine have been at
the same work for over six months
wTok from 8 o'clock in the morning
until four thirty in the afternoon and
have a half hour for dinner. Haven't
had to work but one Sunday so fur
since I have been here. Although I
worked two clays and one night on a
stretch but it didn't seem to bother j
me but very little.
I don't think that I will spend Xmas
of 191S with you all as it isn't but 2
months until Xmas, "but I think I will
spfcnd Xmas of 1919 with you, that
wont be but two Xmas away. T dont
mind that for the cause ?hat it is for.
I havent seen any of the boys from
home yet not but two since I have
been over here from [Lexington. Co.
and they came with me they are Roy
Ballentine and Felix Hallman. I
havent seen Roy in about four months
but Hallman and I are in the same
Co. and working in the same department
but not in the same room.
You people over there have certain
ly been doing fine subscribing to Liberty
Bonds and hope you all will
continue to do so. .
You all dont knoiw what hard times
are over there yet what if you all had
to have tickets for bread and most
even-thing they get to eat. So you
all can -be thankful that you have it
as you do and dont never complain,
about anything. ' y
"Well as it is getting late and I kn<?w
you are getting very tired of reading
this. Will close for this time. / Excuse

)ME FROM FRANCE
DR. CROSSOX WRITES OF
COTTON SITUATION.
To The- Dispatch-News:
I desire to make a statement in your
paper this week in reference to thecotton
situation. At a cotton growers
meeting held in Columbia some
days since it was resolved that it was
to the best interest of all concerned
+ f/vnio-Vir^hif CSsvt ?4- V* /VWAIItva ^ A ?11
uii vu-^iiu ui kTvuLu -v.cu viuia cuiu an
the cotton States, that the producers
hold their cotton till a minimum priceof
35c per pound foe reached, as cotton
now is selling- below the cost of
production. It was 'also (agreed
that a thorough organization of all
interested in a better price for cotton
is essential. To this end it was placed
upon the County Councils of Defense
to work out this organization in
each county. I therefore request all
township chairmen or some suitable
man in each township, to organize his
township into a cotton producers unit
of the County organization immediately
by Dec. 1st; and urge everybody
to hold their cotton, and discuss matters
pertaining to other agricultural
interests,
> The speculators say "Ther<j is now
no bear demand for cotton, hence the
decline in price." But we know there
is a greater world demand for cotton
and we are entitled to a fair profit
over the cost of production.
The farmers now have the situation
in hand and will in 60 or 90 days*
reap a better price for their products
if they will have the backbone to
warehouse and hold their cotton.
There is no cotton in Europe; there
is practically no distress cotton going
on the market now. The situation,
can easily be handled. Here's for a
pull all together. A county meeting
probably may toe called later.
D. M. C ROSSO N,
Chairman County Council Defense.
Leesvillc, Nov. 26, 1918.
HARMON?AWTREY.
Saturday Nov. 23, 1918 was the
occasion of a beautiful home wedding
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Karman of Lexington. Their daughter
Elvira Caroline was given in marriage
to William E. Aw trey of New
Brookland, S. C.
The house was beautifully decorated
with southern smilax,. potted
plants and cut flowers, white chrysanthemums
being used in all available
places.
Just before the ceremony Miss Katie
Belle Harmon cousin of the bride
exquisitely rendered "The Melody of
Love.' and promptly at 4:30 to the
strains of "Lohengrin" by the same
young lady the bride descended the
vine wreathed stair case and was met
at the foot by the groom. Unattended
they made their way to the improvised
altar where the brides pastor
Rev. F. H. Funderburk awaited them.
The impressive ring ceremony was
used.
The bridos dress was of white satin
om/i vAil cmisrht with
turn hVVi D vt VV/, ' V C ? -
pearls. And she. carried a shower
bouquet of brides roses.
Dinner was served immediately after
the ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs. Awtrey left on the
6:30 train for Atlanta and other
