A. A. MAIDDIEN, Mf. I Admninistra annuary 6th. 1919.-1 mo. S. I. RAMSEY DIES IN CAMP. Soi of Mr. S. 11. Ramsey, of the Trin- I Ity-Ridge Section, Died at Camp Jackson. S. U. Ramsey, Chief Mechanic of Bat. t dW 73rd F. A., Camp Jackson, son of r Mr. S. H. Ramsey, of the Trinity-Ridge o section, died In camp about two weeks I ago and 'was buried at his former i home at Wedgefleld, 4n Sumter Coun- I ty. The young man was among the brightest and most proising young men of his community and his death was deeply regretted by all who knew him. That lie made an exemplary sol dier is attested to by a letter to Mr. Ramsey from one of the lieutenants of his company, which follows: Camp Jackson, S. C., December 19, 1918. Dear 'Mr. Ramsey Ii writing this letter I shall try, to' a certain degree, to convey to you my deepest sympathy, and that of the rest of this Battery, his associates. in this your hour of sorrow covering the un timely death of your son. Our feelings at the present- time are especially potent, as now the great warl 13 over and the civilized world re joices in the victory of democracy ov er autocracy. Ile twas a member of our- great army of iIncourageient' and Enthusiasm that has done so much to make him and all of us better soldiers, and has iproved to tie finest degree that real and true Americanism, the same that throbbed the hearts and minds of our ,forefNthers when this country was still in its infancy, is still embodied in the youth we offer to substantiate her ideals and principles when some one feels they can trample on them. Since his enlistment in the service of the United States Army, your son haa displayed all the finer tralts of a true American citizen, the kind that commands all respect from those less 9 fortunate iwho cannot claim America as home. I bring this point to view to remind y6u that you have indeed a source of d real comfort, in the fact that you had a son who died in the scrivec of his country-the greatest sacrifice a man d can offer. Since being attached to this organ ization, I will say with all truth, that your son has been a most exemplary member, and I voice the sentiment of 1 all of this lBattery when I say that his death has caused a break in our chain of good-fellowship. I, as his Battery Commander, an f proud of him, he has done his dut) St vell. As a parting request I ask tha you think of him always as we do: at e example to others, and a reason for thi rest of us to at least try to be as goo( and dutiful a son as, at the closing ul of his world accounts, lie has prove( to be. d Earnestly hoping that this lettel portrays my respects to the fullest de gree, I am, ". Sincerely yours, Frank T. .lurphy. - 2nd Lt. F.

V The following news item, taken from SCharleston ejevening Iost, will be cad with, interest by the friends here f MLeut. Marvin Franks, who of course i a native of Laurens ani one whose i ,dvancements is followed with keen nte-rest at home It .Jacksonville, Jan. 3.-After serving me year and several months as con nandant of the Seventh Section, Unit d States Shipping o'Dard, Lieut. -Mar rin Franks, of Charleston, S. C., has *ecelved orders to immediately report Por foreign service, having- been de alled for duty in the naval overseas ransportation division. Lieutenant Franks Is well known throughout Florida and Georgia, hav- t ing resumed the responsibilities of of- c flee stupceeding Lieut. J. -i. Harris, on I August 1, 1917. During his stay in this position he has received many of ficial congratulations for his ability as an officer. le has been ins-truniental in increas lng the quota of the United States navy during the emergeney, also as sisting in saving the lives of men shill wrecked at sea anl stopping thousands of dollars' worth of liquor being ship ped into dry -tates from Florida. One of the first deeds accomplished by Lieutenant Franks was the rescue of .10 men from a buri)ng vessel at sea. The erew of the Spanish bark were picked up by naval boats on the coast near Mayport. Probably the greatost apprehension of liquor passing from Florida to a dry state was madeeminder the super vision of Lieutenant Franks. At one haul $10,000 worth of the wet goods was captured in tug boats being car ried to Georgia. This find was miAde off the southern coast of Georgia, and resitled in a rousing fight between sailors and alleged bootleggers. It is estimated that more than $150,000 wias .eized by the sailors of this district during Lieutenant Franks' regime. In leaving Jacksonville Lieutenant Franks carried the best wishes of a host of friends and admirers twho deeply regret the departure of this efliclent oflicer. He Is succeeded." by Eansign A. .1.
