IOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Wnshingti n, D.C., Nov. 23d, 1918 dr. Charles L. Hur.ley, Chesterfield, S.C. )ear Charlie: Replying to your letter, I wish you irould say for me to the people of Chesterfield county, that nothing I'ouJd afford me greater pleasure han to be with them at this greatest Tianksgieing of the Nation, and to his occasion the boys of Chesterfield ave contributed a glorious part. The reason I cannot come is that I m pressing for information as to hose boys, and I intend to stay on he job until I get information to reieve the hearts of their people in Chesterfield county. The Gavernicnt is cabling and trying to hear, ut has not up to this time received ny definite ir formation. In the J !8th Infantry, there arc four comanies from my District, two from rork county (Rock Hill a.'.d Fort lill) ore from Kershaw and one j rom Chesterfield. They took a most j rominent part in breaking the 11 inenburg line, so the London Da'ly I.iil says', and the casualties w?re re( rted to be heavy. O 1 acoc unt of ".uginicni, being brig: led with i'.ritish, the reports haw not yet ten jveeived as io these iileld and .>'! liivd, and I am going to stay on lis job until I can give my people re authentic information. 'iheij boys have made a splendid uc >rd and their people :u\ entitled > Ur >w who is injured and who is i'.Ied and I feel it my duly to keep I Igh' iri behind the Department here' iiiil I get the information. This is] ihy 1 canot promise to be with you. i ne victorious conclusion 01 me j ar makes the United States the rentest nation in the world and v'oodrow Wilson the premier stateslan of the civilized history of man. With best wishes for a great Fair, I am most sincerely, W. F. STEVENSON. !OW THE FRENCH WOMEN REPLIED TO THE HUN WOMEN We take special pleasure in printig the following dispatch which tells ow the brave women of glorious 'ranee have replied to the whining ppeals of the women of (lermany ho had turned a deaf ear to the apcals of the women of France and telgiuni when they were so gricvousfwrowged by the German soldiery: Paris, Nov. 2d?The National Council of French Women has delined to intercede with the French overnment to mitigate the terms of he German armistice. In reply to message published in the press from ierman women to Madame Jules >igfried, president of the council, the ouncil yesterday unanimously adoptu this resolution: "No, we will not intercede with ur government to mitigate the conations of the armistice which are aly too justified by the manner ni . niv'i Germany wr\ed war. "In the course of these tr agic yer.rs Ierman uu nun believing victory was rtaiii, remained silent at the crimes if their government, their army and heir navy. "At the congress at The Hague, to hich we refused to go, the president f the National Council of German r.en was invited to protest against i>e violation of lielgium and against .:? torpedoing of the Iuisitunia. She .vo.e in reply: " 'We are as one with our people. I he men who took the responsibility "or Germany's decisions. are as dear o us as those who are shedding their ;!ood for us on the battle field.' "To our indignant protc t against J.e deportation of women ami young ri rlu n rul vuiinn u;n wlin t'cil tii'if lliu. />ry might. possibly bring a reversal >f fortu?ie there was no response." '1 he Allied forces must remain unIrr arms until peace terms have been ; forced and good order effected in Burope. Large sums of money will i>e needed by Uncle Sam. Lend him your savings. Buy W.S.S. The Truth Of It "We'.l, Nettie, did you now that we'hud all come for Thanksgiving?" asked Uncle John, as he chuckled his little niece under the chin. "1 expected you," she said, sweetly. "Mother said that the whole family was coming, and it was n dreadful bore, but that Thanksgiving only comes once a year." It may take more than two years to demobilize oar fighting forces, and until that time the government will neod our money. Keep your W.S.S. p'.odte and buy more. \ CORP. FRED GASKIN | Mr. T. H. Gaskin has received a : cablegram bearing the sad tidings (that his son, Corp. Fred Gaskin, was killed in action on Oct. 16th. Fred was a member of Company I, one of the early volunteers. He was one of the thousands to fall when fhe victorious hosts of righteousness battered ^lown the Hindendurg Line. Fred did his bit and did it gloriously. Because of him and* others like him a new era has dawned upon the earth and war will forever cease. ! ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO UNITED WAR WORK FUND Mrs. C. K. Curtis $10.00 Miss Cora Craig 5.00 !

If you wish some good citizens of the northern States to settle on the farms in Chesterfield county upon their return from France and assist us in opening up our county it is necessary that a list of farni lands*with price and terms come to me at once. This information will be furnished in pamphlet form to the soldiers as they disembark from the ships. Some of the chairmen have paid no attention to the request. If you cannot act, kindly advise me at once and I will appoint some one in your stead, us it is our patriotic duty to see that each returning soldier is cared for. R. E. HANNA, County Chairman.

This Fair is held under the most: adverse conditions, however, conditions that would have discouraged any official but the most optimistic and determined. To begin with, the shortage of maj terial and labor made difficult the completion of the new buildings at the- new Fair Grounds, and it was here that criticism began to be manifest against the Fair, despite the fact that the officials took every I possible precaution to see that the | material used and labor employed <1 id not interfere with the needs of the government. Then in came influenza and the dates were changed and even the whole project held in ohediance until such time as all danger from that source should have passed away. The obcials however, kept a close i watch on thy "flu" situation in the , county and had fierjue.it correspondence with the State heal'h authorities on the matter and when it was deemed safe the dates were changed ' again to include the week of Thanksgiving Day. Though iht. epidemic phase of the disease had entirely subsided and there remained only a f<-\\ scattered;' cases in the county and none in or ' near Chesterfield, a determined fight was made to stop the Fair on the ' grounds of danger from that source. On the 20th of November Dr. Ilaync, state health officer, had been | consulted and gave his consent for j I fhe Association to go ahead with the j i Fair. A few days later the follow- ; ing letter and enclosure were rcceiv- j i ed from Dr. Ilayne by the secretary > of the Fair Association. They are ' i herewith published by request and in j i response to many inquiries. STATE BOARD OF HEALTH Columbia,S.C.,Nov.2.r>, 191 8. . Mr. C. L.
