Memorium
In loving remembrance of our dear
mother, Crawford P. Brown, who departed
this life March 21, 1917:
Days of sadness still come o'er us.
Tears of sorrow silently flow.
Fond memory keeps our mother
neav us,
Though Heaven claimed her two
years ago.
Sweet be thy rest dear mother.
From trouble and pain
He hath called you away from us,
God grant that we shall meet again.
Margaret,
Seaboard Air Line depot at Hemingway
was discovered to be on fire
last Thursday night about midnight.
The fire caught in the ceiling above
fhe office. The hard and intelligent
work of the citizens saved the structure.
The ceiling was badly burned
and much of the roof had to be cut
away to get to the fire. The papers
and a considerable amount of freight
were damaged by water.

D. J. Epps, salemsan, Kingstree,
says: "About four years ago I had
a terrible backache and whenever I
would stoop, sharp, shooting pains
would catch me through the small of
my back. 1 was stiff and always felt
tired and languid. My kidneys were
very irregular and I had to get up
five or six times at night to pass th"
secretions. I was told to try Doan's
Kidney Pills, so I got a box. This!
remedy relieved me of all that and
so I took another box. When I had
finished this, I had no more pains
and was entirely cured. 1 have taken

RINGS!
The Eye Behind The Lines j
By theeternal fitness of things Sir!
Arthur Conan Doyle should write
this story, for in the spellbound
hours in which laconic brown men in
khaki and "horizon blue" gave it to
me, 1 visualized no one so much as
Sherlock Holmes, grim, brooding,
and penetrating, riding in their places
miles over the smoke of Flanders;
sitting in their places in the manlittered
dugouts behind the lines of
battle, untangling the mysteries of
uncanny secrets. It is the story of
the greatest detective system ever
devised by man, the inner story of
how the allies bv aerial Dhotosranhv
and weired deduction from meaningless
prints of the German lines solved
the riddles of the foe?the story
of "the camera, the best spy of all
time." Into this story will come the
strange case of the human footprint
and the countless things of stealth
it revealed, also the curious "rogues
gallery" of German generals which
the allied detectives collected, kept,
and used with such sure might?also
the odd * * * But a beginning
must be made.
There is no more astonishing thing
in the whole marvel of aerial photography
than the camera's ability
to catch the trail of a walking man.
At two and a half miles in the air
the ordinary aerial camera will show
the footprints of a man going across
slightly shelled ground. At a mile it
will show them on new -mown grass.
At five miles it will reveal them
trailing across "No Man's Land."
Consider this: Once the FVench
were planning to take a certain hill,
knowing that Bavarian "Landsturm"?poor
machine-gun fighters
?held it weakly. At dawn a photographer
went up, came dashing back
witha picture, and 15 minutes later
the French general called off the attack
and saved the Lives of thousands
of his men. And yet the came? ',

It merely showed that one group of
men had gone out and another come
into the trenches during the night.
The footprints of the Germans told
that much. The incoming trail, followed
back, was found to emerge
from a woods, lying beside a toe
white road. The allied detectives
bending over their prints, followed
I that road to the nearest German
[ cantonment and proved by still other
photographs that the cantonment
j was held by Prussians. Presto! The
I French staff knew that crack Prus- ,
I sians were opposing them, and that
I it would be nothing short of suicide
! to attack.
Deduction of this sort was more
than half of the work of the aerialphotography
sections of the allied
armies. The work of snapping pictures
from the air was picturesque,
dangerous, heroic; but for thrill and
romance give me those sweating,
' silent men in the dugouts, studying
photographs by the hour, catching a
clue here, a telltale mark there, that
made Hindenburg's plans an open
!book.
| Modern photographic science laid
before each allied general a complete
picture of everything the enemy
was doing and almost everything
it was going to do. It showed
jhim unmistakably what his own men
were doing and what they could do.
[ It relieved him of conbicting stories
i from spies, from human mistakes?
[for the camera does not lie.
Napoleon could but guess what
Wellington was planning; Foch
could send up a photographer and
within an hour know what Ludendorff
was thinking of.?Douglass
