County Boys Under the Flag From Frank Keith Following letter was received by Mrs. W. C. Keith of near Pickens from her son Frank, who is now in France, serving his country: June 14, I918. Dear Mother: Since I haven't any thing to do this afternoon I will write you a little. I have arrived safely at my camp and am getting along fine. I'm get ting good eats and plenty of work. Oscar is here, so it is much better than being at so strange place by myself. It is hot here today, and is very dry. This dry weather does not effect the crops, as there is very little raised here except grapes. There are acres and acres of grape vines, which are very pretty. The country is very pretty indeed. I t.raveled a good long way through France, and it is all very beau tiful. I haven't seen any cotton and very little corn here; all is planted in vineyards an~d small grain. The wheat is very fine. We are allowecd to take "liberty trips" to Bordeaux once a month. This is one of the largest cities in France. All the houses I have seen in France are built of brick or stone. They are very different from Americani houses. They have no piazzas at all, and (10 not look so comfortable as American homes do. The railroad trains are very dif ferent from ours. They have coaches for first, s'econd and third class people, andl are very odd looking. The French people are very kind te the A mericans. There are alwvays little French children playing around where we are. They sound very funny speak ing French. Very often indeed you see French womnen wearing mourning, which showvs that they have had hus band, father or brother killed in the war. America has not yet realized what it means to be at war. She will, however, in the ntear future, 1 think, begin to feel -the great need of winning the war. Perhaps some of those slack era will have a chance to fight yet. I hope so, anyway. A man who wili shirk his duty in this war isn't worthy of being an American citizen. A mn doesn't realize what a great land and country he has until he leaves it. I suppose you al: are busy with the farm work now. hope the crops are good. Tell Roy to 'tay at home and go to school, as that as the best thing for him to (10. I don't know what I wvill (10 when the war is over. I suppose there Iwill be plenty of work to do. The other time I wrote to yo'u I dlidn't know my address, It is:' U. S. -Naval Aviation Station, Pavillac, Gir'onde, lFrance, care P. M.,. New York. Write me a letter once a week and b-l me aill about ev'ery thing. W ill hnve to chse, I have no ne ws.

I.PICKENS CHAPTER SRED CROSS NOTES Ten large boxes containing 1,633 sur gical dressings were shipped to head quarters in Atlanta, Ga., by the Pick ens county chapter last we~ek. Ihalf of this number were made by the flasley branch. The Mount Carmel branch of the P'ickens county' chapter hats been doing sonme excellent work. In a recent can vass for new members eighteen were added, and an entertainment nettedl the treasury the nice aum of forty (dollars. A splendid delegation visited the Red Cross rooms, thus getting in closer touch with the chapter work. Cateechee branch has recently sent in a nice box of hospital garments. Any branches or individuals having garments to contribute for the F'rench andl Belgian refugees will plenase send them in at once. Tlhe Reunion auxiliary, by unani mous vote, has become a branch of the Pickens County Chapter. It has undertaken two very excellent lines of work -one, the home department, send ing papers and magazines to the boys who have gone from that community; the other, the his;torientl department, recordling t he work' . I incidentIs in which our boys take I art, thus pre serving their palrt mI the gre'at struggle, for a uture' generations. It i'; hoped tha ?:1ot.h'r brnces- wi;l vll',.,,. a If Christie Benet Ap pointed Senator Christie 3enet, a Columbia lawyer, vas appointed by Governor Manning ate Saturday to serve the next six nonths of the unexpired term of the ate Senator Tillman of South Carolina. Inder South Carolina law an appoint lent to the Senate is limited to six ionths and a senator will have to be lected to fill out the remaining two ionths. In appointing Mr. Benet, the govern r said: "My responsibility in appoint ig Senator Tillman's successor, im resses me deeply. The occasion calls r a man of full physical and mental igor who can present to the. people of ur state the grave issues of the war nd the supreme necessity that every er ifice should be made, who can gain Dr the Government the full support of ur citizens and who knows and can ex lain the colossal task that confronts 'resident Wilson and his assistants, I ave appointed one whose sterling tmericanism is undoubted, who is fa riliar with the plans and needs of the dministration and who will stand four quare and undismayed in support of he war and the successful and forcible onclusion of it. 1 have appointed Jhristie Benet of Columbia. He had di papers prepared to enlist in the army and had notified the proper milita -y officers to that effect. 3ut I am justified in appointing him by the val iable work he can do. Mr. Benet accepted the appointment md announced his candidacy for the two months of the unexpired term for vhich the appointment does not hold. Mr. Benet gave out the following Statement: "The honor that Governor Manning has conterred on me is a great one and the appointment must be justified by acts rather than words. I will give my best in the Senate and on the stump in support of President Wilson and the war. But "let not him that girdeth or his harness do as himself as he that putteth it off." I shall enter the pri mary under the rules of the I)emocrati party for the nomination for the shor term." The new senator is 38 years of ag and has already gone to Washington t< take up his duties. A Colored Citizen Writes of the Wai Mr. Editor: Please allow me space to say something in reference to th< great war that is now on. First, I wil say that it is certainly time for action, for it is daybreak everywhere. Sec ond, we have no time to lose at all, although some may he somewhat care less on account of not giving it thought as to what a shameful condi tion we would be in should we not h successful in this war. Without win ning the whole world would be on thc verge of dlestruction. Our aim is t< rule over no nation: neither are wv< lighting for want of territory. P resi dent Wilson notilledl Germany that i negotiations were further delayed 01 continuedl unsatisfactory the U~nitet States would be compelled to conside: what measures it deemed necessary t< take in order to protect its rights anm interests. As Germany still pursuet its policy of delay, then dliplomat(c re intions were~ sevrered. ~rou readily set that there is nothing due the fault ol President Wilson, ns to the wvar. Germany several years ago mad<1 A ustria an ally: then the triple allianet was formed of Austria-HI ungary am Turkey. Now she undertakes to stimi ulate' a brutish and shameful act t hal not only the United States cannot af ford to tolerate, hut the world. Isi any wonder that under suech circum stances this war now exists? The U.nited States is affectedl by the preya lent spirit of these significant times but it has a Monroe doctrine which il very offensive to some of tihe Europear powers, and it is a fixed purpose 0: this government to protect her inter eats and rights at all costs. So let us, both white and colored, de 8l1 that is in our power to win the war Lastly, I will say that it takes our hel~ financially, spiritually and politically Let us all look the same way, think th same way and speak tihe same way for ''united wve stand --divide'j we fall.
