IN CHARKESTON Miss Blanche Tisdale, who has been in the employ of the federal government at Charleston for several months past, writes interestingly to her relative here, Mrs Tena J Nelson. The following are excerpts from recent letters. The many friends of this young lady will be gratified to learn that she is getting along so nicely. Charleston, S C, July 2, 1917. Dearest Cousin Tena:? You mu9t pray for your lonely little stepchild, for I am going ta take the oath of office and be sworn in as a regular field clerk tomorrow. I know thrt it is a great ri9k and Cousin Fowler and everybody thinks me very foolish to take the oath and sign up. But you know very well they can't send us to France without any training and there are a good many men going over out of our office in a few weeks. The way I look at it is this: when all the men go, there will have to be competent clerks at the building, and they are notgoinor tn send us as long as men clerks last. We also get $1200.00 a year. Now I can't say whether we get it to start off with, or not." The following is from a letter written July o: "We have taken the oath of office, and are now Regular Army Field Clerks. We can be sent anywhere they may choose to send us. But the joke of it all is that we are going to have to wear uniforms now. What do you think of me dressed in a uniform? "We were informed the other day that we were to get a 10% raise, but since we took the oath that seems to have died away. A Regular Army Field Clerk gets $100 per month, but I don't know how long before we get it. I hope that it won't be too long. "Lovingly, "Blanche Tisdale."

Recently the supreme court for South Carolina in affirming the lower court in the case of the SU.te, respondent, vs J Ellis Gilbert, Susannah Gilbert and others, appellants, decided in favor of the Palmetto State a criminal prosecution in Lee I county which attracted a great deal of interest throughout the country. The sureme court thus refers to the facts: "The evidence in the case discloses the fact that Miss Broadway was principal of Liberty Hill school and Ruby Gilbert and Lawton Gilbert were pupils in the school. A few days before Miss Broadway was assaulted and beaten she suspended Ruby from school. After this suspension, Miss Broadway was requested by two of the trustees of the school to meet the father of Ruby to adjust the matter. While on the way to the school and the proposed meeting as arranged by the trustees, Miss Broadway, accompanied by her friend and fellow teacher, Miss Ethel Logan, was stopped on the public road and severely beaten. This beating was inflicted by the women of the Gilbert family. None of the men, according to the evidence, actually struck her, but there is evi4-^of all marc nraoont iltirinor ucucc mat can ttviw pivuvuv the assault. There is evidence that Lawton Gilbert and Rawton Gilbert, with their father, Ellis Gilbert, surrounded Miss Logan, Miss Broadway's companion, and assistant teacher, while the female members of the Gilbert family were assaulting and beating Miss Broadway, and prevented Miss Logan from interfering. Rawton Gilbert was not a pupil in the school, but was present at the difficulty." At the conclusion of the State's testimony and at the close of all the testimony a motion was made for a verdict of acquittal as to Rawton Gilbert and Lawton Gilbert upon the ground that there was not sufficient evidence upon which to base a conviction as to them. The motion was refused. After the defendants were convicted of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature,motion for new trial was made and refused. "There is evidence," says the supreme court in affirming the lower court, "that the men joined the women when they came out of the house where the meeting was arranged for I- ? TUnf fUnr? /*Anfnrrorl uy Uie iruaieca. xnab mi^j v.um>.i>vu together and after that went and did meet Miss Broadway and her companion and were present and saw the severe punishment inflicted on Miss Broadway." The court discusses the law at length, saying that "if they were there to carry out the unlawful designs in pursuance of a common design participating actually or potentially, if necessary, then all were guilty, the act of one was the act of all." "We cannot refrain," says the court,"from calling attention to and expressing our disapproval of the want of manhood exhibited by the trustee in not protecting or making an effort to protect Miss Broadway when she was so outrageously assaulted and beaten." ?If- VT I Tk/,m T/.A TT C 11CCU IUCUi| JL uv< A farmer in The Star office said thtit he was undone by overdoing: the thing in the way of growing perishable products. He raised more than he could sell on the local market and ' the balance has gone to waste irj the field. He has come to the conclusion ' that the only possible inducement for him to grow large crops of perishable products is a commercial cannery that will provide a market for that kind of farmers. The kind of factories that Wilmington needs more than anything else are factories that will make commercial products out of the great abundance of raw materials produced in this section. Otherwise, our raw materials simply go to waste.whereas factories to consume them will make a market for 1 the raw material and make money for 1 the factories. It is quite certain, also that factories will give employment to the idle population of the city.? 1 Wilmington, X C, Star. - JI THE SOUTH IS DOING HER BIT SOME OF THE THINGS THE SOUTH IS SUPPLYING TO SAVE THE NATION. The South produces 98 per cent of the entire sulphur output of the United States, upon which our ability to make explosives absolutely depends. The South produces more than one half of the entire lumber cut of the United States. The South produces more than 50 per cent of the entire petroleum output of the country, and that, too, at a time when the government is fearing an oil shortage almost disastrous in its consequences to the navy. The South produces approximately 165.000,000 tons of coal, or 27 per cent of the total output of the United States; and this coal to a large extent runs the furnaces and the steel works of the West, the v ships of our navy, the cotton mills and other industrial plants of New England, and many other industries. The South furnishes about onethird of the lead and zinc of the country, so essential at the present time to national existence. The South produces all of the cotton, without which we could not possibly wage war, for we could not shelter the soldiers beneath the South's cottonmade tents nor clothe the nation without products made from Southern cotton, nor make high explosives in quantity. The South consumes in its own mills about one million bales of cotton in excess of the consumption in the rest of the country, and ships its cotton largely to other sections to meet their pressing needs. The South ships to the North and West about $100,000,000 worth of early fruits and vegetables, and it provides millions of boxes of oranges and grape fruit in addition. The South is producing most of the manganese mined in the United States, essential in the steel industry, and a large proportion of the pyrites ores which go into the manufacture of sulphuric acid for fertilizers and other purposes. The South produces about $350,- < 000,000 worth of food and feedstuffs in its cotton crop, most 01 wmcn is shipped to the West and East. The South produces practically all of the bauxite, the foundation of the vast aluminum industry of the whole country. But why continue to catalogue the list when every intelligent man, not biased by narrow views against the South, should know these things, and should be fair enough to recognize that upon these facts is founded the only possible basis for national salvation in this time of war??Manufacturer's Record. Corporal Ferdon Visits His Home, . Editor County Record:? Allow me just a few lines to express the pleasure which I had on a leave of absence from my post a few days ago to my home at Morrisville. It was made so by the splendid treatment at the hands of all my old friends and many new ones. My visit to my father, Capt Ferdon, and mother, both of whom have arrived at quite an advanced age but are . hearty, I shall ever remember. It gave me great pleasure indeed to express my extremely grateful surprtse at the welfare and progress of the citizens and farmers in the vicinity of Morrisville. Despite the , present difficulties, many of the people are looking prosperous, and I believe thanks are due to Mr F Rhem.the man who is not only doing a farmer's part but a merchant's as well?one who is a credit to the community and will, I hope, receive his due.

I was made to feel very much embarrassed on my way back to the nnQt hv a vnnnc man askincr me if we weren't afraid to go to war. 1 had no way to answer him except by saying that Uncle Sam fed his soldiers on meat, not on rabbits.
