C., UE('EMIWR G, 1917 Z1 With Pickens County Boys Under the I .Flag FIRST LIEUTENANT CLARK WALES SMITH. OOLENOY, Dec. 3.-(Special.] -1-Of highest interest to the Amer ice people today is news of th< men who are defending her honor Of special interest to the people o: Pickens county will be tidings fron Dr. C. W. Smith who is now ii Frence. Dr. Smith, a son of Mr. an Mrs. John P. Smith, of Liberty, wa reared in the Six Mile section of the county. He took an M. D. degree a the University of Nashville with the class of '09. Since that time he ha engaged as a successful genera practice. On offering his Service t< his country, he was examined an< passed as a first lieutenant in the Medical Reserve Corps. In Augus he was ordered to join the America forces in France. In company wit] friend, Dr. W. C. Marett, of Oco nee county, a physician also boun for France, he left Greenville fo: New York City. For several day; they stayed here before being pu aboard the transport. After seven teen days they landed at Liverpoo without experiencing the mud dreaded seasickness. Crossing Eng land by rail, they enjoyed the warm beautiful and interesting country, contrast to the cold voyage across Qn reaching France they found th gains and mud very disagreeable Dr. Marett was here assigned to the artillery and Dr. Smith to the in fantry. The friends were separate< perhaps never to meet again. Or i they do, as a North Carolina Coy ernor once said to a South Carolin official, "It will be a long time be tween drinks." Dr. Smith has done quite a bit o1 practice among the French people This, however, when no interprete1 is at hand, is very perplexing as few of our boys are fluent speaker of the language "over there". 'Th doctor and his wife number car) letter and in that way they ascer tain the number of letters lost. S< far only one number has failed t< come to Mrs. Smith. The following letter was received by her the 28t1 'ult: In France, Nov. 6.-Dear Leib -You may be scolding me for no writing but let me explain.
