"Washington.?J. Willard Ragsdale,
representative in congress from Sixth
South Carolina district, died here suddenly
July 23rd, just before noon.
Those attending him at his death
were: Drs. J. Arthur Hooe, Dr. H. H.
Hareen and Dr. Doorman. For seveial
days Mr. Ragsdale had been under
treatment but was not considered
seriously ill. He was at the capitol
the day before and voted on the prohibition
bill. His death occurred at
Di. Hooc's office.
Early that morning Mr. Ragsdale
sent for his physicians and the repo.t
they made that afternoon was that
just before noon he died of acute
heart disease, going to the physicians'
oft ice for treatment.
Although not apparently sulfering
from ill health in any way and about
his usual business Mr. Ragsdale was
said by his physicians not to have
been in robust health for some time.
Mrs. Ragsdale is at their home at
Florence. Mr. Ragsdale also leaves
James W. Ragsdale, Jr., about 18
years of age, and a daughter about
14 years of age.
House Adjourns.
Immediately upon the announcement
of Mr. Ragsdale's death, like a
flash, the members of the South Carolina
delegation in congress got together.
Representative Byrnes made
the statement to the house that Mr.
Ragsdale had died. The house then
adjourned out of respect to his memory.
<
Thr? VAmnins wava taken to an UI1
dertaking establishment and Coroner
Nevitt held an inquest, after which
. >he body was prepared to be taken to
"Florence, where the burial took place
Friday afternoon.
The funeral train, bearing the mem
hers of the South Carolina delegation
and a special committee from
the house and senate, left Washington
Thursday night at 9 o'clock over the
Atlantic Coast Line, arriving at
Florence early Friday morning. The
burial took place Friday and the
party reached Washington Saturday
morning on its return trip.
Delegation to Probe Death.
The members of the South Caiolina
delegation will probe Mr. Ragsdale's
sudden death. They said, after
a conference at Mr. Byrnes office,
that they were far from satisfied
either with the statement of the physicians
or with that of the District

sent Mrs. Ragsdale by numerous
friends in Washington. 1
The funeral train to Florence was

the senate and of the house, respectively.

today with the statements of the
phvsicans who were with Mr. Ragsdale
at the time of his death and of
the coroner who performed the auI
topsy and held the inquest. There
seems to he no doubt now that Mr.
Ragsdale had suffered for some time
from a weak heart and kidney trouble,
this affliction, in the opinion of
I the physicians here, being sufficient
j to cause death at almost any time.
) All day the body of Mr. Ragsdale lay

J where many friends called to view it
for the last time. The floral offerings
from many persons in congress
and in official life were beautiful and

DID HARD FIGHTING
Letter Sent Here by Homer
Hughes, Brother of S. A.
Hughes.
Homer Hughes, a brother of S. A.
I Hughes, well-known farmer of Conway
township, has sent to his brother
the following letter written by General
Pershing, showing the gallant
service done in the expeditionary
forces and still as a part of the army
of occupation in Get many. The letter
of General Pershing follows:
France, March '2(>, 1919.
Major General Edward F. McGlarhlin,
Jr.,
Commanding 1st Division,
American E. F.
My dear General McGlachlin:
To the officers and men of the 1st
Division, I wish to express my com-1
pliments upon their excellent appearance
at the inspection and review en
March 14th at Mantabauer. The high
morale of all ranks and the condition
of the artillery and transportation
were what one might expect to find in
a command with such a splendid
fighting record. The 1st Division has
the distinction of havinir been the
first combatant unit to arrive in
France and the first to enter the fight
ing line. From that time until the
present its work has been marked by
a high state of excellence . and efficiency.
After serving in the Sommorvillor
and Ansauville Sectors the division
entered the line near Montdidicr, and
on May 28th took Cantigny. This attack
may be considered as the begini
ning of American offensive operations
and its success had much to do
with the creation of the splendid
spirit thereafter displayed by American
troops. In the Aisne.-Manne offensive,
the division participated ir
some of the most desperate fighting
ox the entire war, and helped to insure
the success of the Allied attack'
During the early part of August the
division moved to the Saizerais sec
tor, and shortly after took part it
the St. Mihiel operation, making i
deep advance through the Rupt d<
I Madt across the Vigncuiies-Sl. Do
noid road to Hatton-Chattel. In th(
" Meuse-Argonne battle the division
^ was twice thrown into the lino,?01
October 1st, at which time it pushe*
B forward in spite of heavy resistance
| and on November f>th, when, after ;
^ march of 20 kilometers to reach th
jumping-off line, it attacked the one
* my and marched on Sedan.
B Since the signing of the armistic
0 the 1st Division, as a part of th
^ Auny of Occupation, has had th
? | honor of safeguarding the results o
Jr jits victories, and for its conduct i
? | this work I have only praise and com
1 mendation. In view of th** above ice
gjj!oid, each man in the division shoul
