less than fifteen Ford and car drivers
have been fined recently for ex~ced- s0

for every mile a car may make per sh

It didn't help any when some of the
offenders wanted to knew if they ,n
were arrested for blocking th? streets
because their Tin L'ruies couldn't a'
nake the required speed of 15 knots. aa
The chief always replied that they to
raised enough dust and made enough
noise to be going sixty miles an hour. nl
and besides, the town is short or

The aforementioned officials arc he
.varning all drivers thut car? must be

the use of the "cut-out" within the a
city limits. This is the law and will tr

The following letter was received
r Mrs. J. C. Huntley, Jr., of Ruby,
ear Mama:
You will see by this that I have
rived safely "Somewhere in
ranee." I shall tell you something
this country n little later on in
lis letter but just now, while I am
ill enthusiastic over it, I want to
II you that I have just listened to
mighty good concert. With the exption
of two solos it was all chorus
usic, differing from the trained
loruses at Chicora and Columbia
allege only in thnt the choir wau
ixed. The men were all enlisted
en and the women Y. M. C. A. laes
for the army and marine "Y's."
he director was a sercennt in th.>
ritish service (all the others were
nglish too, for that matte*). They
ive some beautiful characteristic
eces, such as anvil choruses, etc.
ie solos were so pretty, one by a
prano and the other by a contralto
-I hardly know which I liked betr;
the sporano had a sweeter voice,
id too her selection was possibly a
tie more appropriate, but the conalto
had such a wonderful range of
lice. And, oh yes, in the middle ol
le of the choruses one of the men
,ng a part alone. He was as popur
as the man who sang "Woman
Fickle." The concert ended with
lod Save the King."
July 6th.?You see that this is one
the letters that I never got to
tish. As I want to tell you sonu*ing
of my first impressions of
*ance, think I shall just add on to
is, since it was begun soon after
ir arrival in this country.
Our trip to France was not in as
rge a boat as that in which we crosil
the Atlantic, and too, the sea was
ther rough so that there were a
od many sick on board the night
! came over. I was lucky again in
t getting sick, though I must cay 1
is affected more witii the feeling
at I was going to get sick than at
y time while crossing over from
nerica. Although we were tired,
cause we hadn't slept much during
3 night, we enjoyed our walk
rough the French towns. There
ire the signs that we tried to read
<1 the strange sights, especially
lilies 'mi itartii - -
'
strange as it was our first view of
thoni. Wo soon came to the British
rest camp, where we stayed for some
few days. In that cvnp we began to
realize as never before what a cosmopolitan
nation Great Britain is.
There were English, Scotch, with
their picturesque kilts, Australians,
Canadians, British subjects from Africa,
India and her islund possessions
?then there were the Chinese, Portuguese
and Frenchmen, and possibly J
other nationalities. Yes, there were 1
the German prisoners. The Scotch!
were by far the most distinctive in |
the'.r dress. Australians and Canadians
seemed very much like countrymen
of ours. #
I really liked the -British fare very
much, except the dinners. We got
tea, buns, cheese, butter and jam
quite often at breakfast and supper.
I At our dinners we would receive
'thick soups or cold meats in addition
to cheese, butter and buns,
i The British Y. M. C. As. are great.
There is the canteen room, where one
can get hot cocoa and sweet bread as
well ns a few kinds of candies, the
lecture room (where I attended the
. concert), a room fitted up as a pool
. room, a reading roow with a good library
and such games as chess and
, checkers, and a quiet room. The!
, "quiet room" is a small affair?it is
, fitted up with all kinds of religious
books. There were^aeveral ladies ns
well as men who worked in that Y. ;
We were in that camp one Sunday ! j
and 1 attended service at the Y. The 1 <
. Church of England chaplain was cer- j
tainly fine. The simplicity of the 1 <
service, the statliness of the hymns i j
and the use of the doxology would J ^
lead one to think that he was attend- j ,
ing a Presbyterian instead of an Epis- 1
copalinn service. We took several j
hikes while in that town. Very enjoy- j
able ones they were. The ?inv
we were there we went by a beautiful <
old church. There was a magnificent i ;
piece of statuary, the Madonna and |
Child, which we all admired very j
much. Another day we went to the ,
. beach. That, too, was a pleasant
-hike. Jennings and myself met a very .
> bright little Belgian boy, thirteen v|
years old, who was visiting an aunt i
, in this town. His father is a prisoner (
of the Germans. This little fellow <
could speak broken English. He , i
seemed to be very familiar with
French. In this camp there was also ;
a very fine Salvation Army Y. M. C. J
A. I did not know that they attempted
any army work, but I wasn't j
much surprised,
i July 8th.?The next thing to going :
; home is hearing from home. Through
all of our pleasurable excitement and
i the joy of "going somewhere," we
were constantly wishing that we
, could hear from home. You would
i be surprised how many Limes first
. one fellow and then another would i
say, "If I could only hear from the !
I folks back home, I'd be happy." We
[ almost attained happiness on "In
i dependence Dajl," but the 5th in>
stead of the 4th of III!" i? 'I""'1
: to linger longer in most of our minds,
i because it was then that we received
I our first mail from the States. I
' was lucky enough to receive nine let- i
i ters and one card. Wasn't that great? <
? One of the letters and the card were
i from you, dated the 5th and Gth of i
June respectively. 1
i Today Jennings and myself were i
put on a detail to clean up at the Y, <
kind of half Janitors and half libra- i

rrce to enjoy?cherries I mean. These
wild cherries are nearly as largo and
quite as sweet as our cultivated ones.
By our aptness in climbing after them I
you'd thing that we were the missing
links between Monkey and Man. I
don't think that the snaues of this
:ountry, whose name is "Legion" are
a specially poisoous kind, but you
bet I don't go near to one, if I know
it, to find out by experience. This
climbing business is rather injudicious
proceedings, considering the fact that
we aren't much at the needle and,
too, at present most of us aren't very
well stocked up on Kh-aki thread. The
other day we came across a lot of
wild raspberries. We had commenced
devouring them when someone
found some insects in the berries
which drove us back to our cherry
trees.
There are a great many sheep as
well as cattle in this country. Just
the other day we passed a l :rge flock
of sheep driven by a little shepherd
boy and a fine dog. You would enjoy
visiting a farm village of the middle
or lower classes. There is one
I am thinking of near here. There
are the long houses built lengthwise
beside the road or street; around one
doorway I remember seeing the family
resting from the day's work (it
was about sunset), in the other part
of this house, and with door opening
on the same street, were the farm
animals. How would you like to live
in a double, house with your cow, etc?
Of course this house-barn affair is
all right for the Frenchman, but
somehow 1 prefer our Southern style
ui larin nouses and barns.
These women hay funny wooden
shoes which they slip over their soft
liouse shoes when in the open. It
is no uncommon sight to see a woman
walking along in some sandy place
n her soft shoes, holding the wooden
[>nes in her hands.\ In many places
in this town can be seen the quaint
wash-houses built of stone ad having
one side open like a shed. If
you had happened along about two
o'clock last Saturday you'd have seen

Frank and myself and ahput six of
the natives, women of course, scrubbing
for dear iife. We were rather
embarrassed at first, being used to
being stared at'at a distance only by
women visitors at other camps, hut
soon amicable relations were formed
when Frink dropped his belt in the
pool and one of the women, helped
him fish it out. I was scarce of soap
so with broken French and gestures
I managed to exchange a penny for
"du savon tres finite."
These folks fell to with a will and
helped us celebrate the Fourth.
French flags could be seen everywhere.
"Old Glory" could afso be
seen in a good many place. Notwithstanding
their many curious customs
and differences of language and
religion, these French peop'e seem
mighty near to us.
We are now comfortably quarted
in "billets." I have never discovered
whether our host.'Monsieur Vallon, is
a widower or bachelor. He is kindness
itself. By the way, with all his
other accomplishments he is a potter.
You could see some of his fine earthenware
jars. He seems to be somewhat
of a scholar. The house he
lives in is a double affair, lie occupies
one part and another family the
other end. There are three door?
in iront, the middle one opening into
a kind of barn in which there is a
lot of hay, but I'm thankiul to sav
no "animaux." Monsieur and Jennings
stay in one rooiv an 1 Frjfik and
I are just b,?.i? id them. The rest of
the fellows .tie stored in a loft, on.
cept two fresh air friends who prefer
their "pup" tents. In Monsieur'*
room is a pump in one come", a cupboard,
Monsieur's bed, Jenning cot,
the stove placed in the op-.m iireplaic,
a table or so, and a Rood many bachelor
effects. "Man's wants are few"
seems applicable to Monsieur. Hie
goes leisurely about cooking and eating
his own meals. Frink and I have
the more pretentions room. There
ire two large wardrobes, one seems to
be of fine wood, a good marble mantle,
a fine old bed with a handsome
curtain, and a good mirror and dresser.
Above the mantel are a lot of
family portraits and several medals.
There is a large framed certificate
conferring the Legion of Honor upon
some member of Monsieur's family.
This happened in Empire days,
1850 I think it was.
Weil, I suppose the "janitor" and
I had better see that things are
straight before going to "retreat"
and supper. By the way, we have
>ur mess-hall about half a mile from
?ur sleeping quarters. Wolfe and
Wallard again grace the shack in the
capacity of cooks.
Another thought (though Jennings
ind Mabry declare I don't have such
things), this town with its "ups"
and "downs" reminds me a lot of
Wadesboro.
A great deal of love to all,
STEVE.

enough people to support lural cooperative
societies. On this point Mr.
Bolton Smith,? one of the South's
most thoughtful and public-spirited
citizens, recently gave this interesting
testimony:
"For the last thirty-five years I
have lived in Vicksburg and Memphis
and have been in the business of lending
plantations in the ulluvial regions
of Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
nyone who, like one, has been
in close touch with a progressive community
for that length of time can
not but have been struck by the close
relationship between density of pop'
ulation and all manner of civic betterment.
The larger the population
per square mile, the higher the civilization?other
things remaining equal.
! Schools, roads, churches, the administration
of justice?in fact, all that
goes by the name of civilization will
be found to reflect faithfully the
lensity of population."
