.\y Dear Mother:
'low do you like my postomlce now?
If my memory serves me right you
have a fondness for water, and believe
me we have miler and miles of the
prettlest blue water and never a thing
else but the blue sky above.
We have been under way for five
days and nights. At. first I was a lit
tle dizzy but nothing to compare with
some others. Ilowever, it only lasted
for one day and I have been enjoying
my trip lots, since.
The fellows are just as jolly as can
be and seem to be as much at home
here as anywhere.
The boys are all starting to supper
or dinner-we get bread, butter and
coffee at eight, another meal at ten
and another at three. All good food
and well cooked. Our lights go off at
I:30 to 5 and then it is some dark
down here. We are partly buried un
der the water so you can imagine
there ore no portholes open.
I will write you ail about the trip
when I can and know more to write.
'hen you receive this, you yill know
I havg landed safely somewhere.
Tell l'apa to write to me. I will
Wf'FtJust as oftei as I can and hope
titaN you get it.

rust the ti'ip alone has been worth the. I
langer so far.
I was so sorry I couldn't toll you
norp about when we yore leaving, but
t was impossible. I was sure though
hat you understood we were ready to
leave when I talked to you from
Hempstead.
How is the old football team com
ing on this year? Aid do you see
Doachi Moser often. I guess when youi
got this, they will have played or be
preparing to play - the Thanksgiving
pamo. Tell Coach that the boys In
Franco will be rooting for him. I
hope they havo a winning team. I
would have liked to have played with
them again this year bu under the
circumstances, I'd ratht be here.
I can't understand why all the boys
don't join some branch of service. I
pm sure they would if they would stop
to think about it. While the game I
am playing now may not. he over this
Thanksgiving, yet. it Is a safe bet. I hat
it will be a day of Thanksgiving when
it is over.
I have never seen the fellows in so
good spirits as they are now. Every
one seems to be well and extremely
happy.
I'll have to stop now, as my paper is
about at an end. The sum total of onr
suppl!es consists of what. we can car
ry on our backs and in our pockets.
Always,
,Wlliam.

,'he County Agent, Mr. Moore, stat
ad that he has been very much Ivor
ried this week' on account of the fact
that an additional supply of blanks
for nibrate of soda orders has not
shown up. 'He has kiono everything
iibssible to secure an additional sup
ply from Washington, but for some
unaccountable reason they have not
cone.
Ile has written to the State Agent
at Clemson asking that the tine be ex
tended beyond the 4th of February for
returning the orders, but he has no
assurance th4t this will be done. So
the best thing for farmers to do, in
his opinion, Is. to keep in touch the
last of this week with the various
agents in the county who will be sup
i0,led with these blanks as soon an
they get here. As published last. week
there is an agent at every shipping
,point in the county and every farmer
should get a chance yet, so lie thinks,
of iaking out his ilt rate order by
next Monday night.

Columbia, .lai. 24.--Tlie senate is
forging right ahead -with its work and
will be ready for the final rush when
the appropriation bill conies over. A
rather unusual Incident consumed
most of the legislative day. Tt was on
the discussion of the resolution of
Senator Epps, of Williamsburg, de
claring the next nine Mondays legal
hiolidays. The resolution was killed
by a vote of 20 to 1 2, not because of
any lack of patriotisi, but. because the
senators thought Ihat. it. would do
more harm than good as offered. The
resolution was piriiarily intndhel to
help and to legalize "heatless Mon
(lays" for bank lag institutions 0n(d
others that .wished to remain open on
Monday, but dide not wish to take the
(hane( of being "without, the pale of
the law.'
