Contribution of Mr. Browning to Coni pany D Used in the Purchase of Ra tion Containers. The Advertiser has received the fol lowing letter from Capt. Arthur Lee, of the Traynhamn Guards. in regard to the contribution of $10.00 made to the Lcompany fund some time ago by l ion. Geo. A. Browning, Jr.,.of Goldvillo: .Camp Sevier, Greenville, S. C. IDec. 3, 1917. h'ditor of The Advertiser: Your letter contaiinipg the check for $10.00 contributed to the Traynham G'uards by -Mr. George .Browning of Goldville, has been received. The money was a n'ost welcome addition to our slim company fund. Uncle &Em is very liberal with his allowance for food but the savings account from this source must be devoted entirely to food purchases and we have at pres ent no means of 'buying the little odds land ends that help so much to make the messhall have a slight resem blance to home. Some one of the members of the company 'took up a collection of dime s and nickels yesterday to buy some pans and pots for each squad and to this fund I added the ten dollars. Af ter these are bought most of the men can march into the mess-hall and sit right down to meals without having to stand in line outside in the cold wait ing his turn in the "soup-line". It takes about thirty minutes for the line of over two hunderd men to march by and have their allowance of soup, beef, bread, hominy and molasses, (if we have molasses) flung into one mess pan. This makes a delicious mixture, as they say in the cook books, but it always happens that the one ingredi ent that you dislike most is always the ruling force therein. With the squad pans in action, the food is on the table when the men arrive and thei'e is some chance of keeping the soup and molasses from getting too friendly. If Mr. Browning could have stood in line for his meal just one time during one of the cold days we have had, he would know better than I could ever tell just how much joy and comfort his contribution has helped add to the daily life of the men. And in conclu sion, allow me to thank him through you for every single member of the company and to assure him that his kindness will be in our memory al ways. Sincerely, Arthur Lee, Capt.
