BIG DAY IN CHESTERFIELD The soldiers' welcome home day at the Courthouse yesterday was a great occasion. Despite lowering clouds, the crowds came to Chesterfield, and by eleven o'clock, when the exercises were commenced, the Courthouse was packed with the soldiers and their friends, who had gathered to extend to them a hearty welcome. By some chrfncc the band from Camp Jackson that "was promised, did not come, and instead a soldiers' Red Cross glee club was sent. These boys sang song after song and played many selections, to the delight of the audience. The exercises were opened by Senator G. K. Laney, who extended to the soldiers a heart-felt welconn* and took occasion to recite some of their great achievements in the world war for humanity. The next speaker was .VIr. Arthur Gaston, chairman of the Fifth District Liberty Loan Committee, who made an appeal to the people to finish the job, to subscribe to the final, the Fifth, the Victory Loan following Mr. Gaston, Major W. I.. Gillespie, of Choraw, made an interesting talk on what the men ox the 118lh Infantry accomplished. The principal address of the day was delivered by Capt. Lyons, the chaplain of the 118th Infantry, who paid a beautiful tribute to the boys who made the supreme sacrifice in France and ho exhibited the flag that was used at the burial of the boys who gave their all for liberty. Capt. Lyons made a stirring appeal to the audience to continue to support their government by buying bonds of the Victory Loan. After the speaking the ladies of Chesterfield and community invited .he soldiers to oat at the finest feast that was ever put before a hungry nan. More than a hundred baskets had been provided by the ladies of Chesterfield and the surrounding community. The dinner was spread .11 the Courthouse instead of in the grove at the school house, on account jf the weather. About two hundred soldiers, including the Confederate Veterans were present and enjoyed the line dinner provided by these ladies. And uch a dinner! The finest that Chesterfield county could produce was spread before her heroes. After the aoidicrs had been fed the entire crowd was invited to partake of the oountiful spread. Then when" all in sight had eaten, all the colored boys that could be found wearing the khaki were called up and given liberal boxes of good things to eat. After that ways and means were devised to send out supplies to all the poor arid needy of the community, and still there was food to spare. After all those present had been served the young ladies held a reception and dance in the courtroom in honor of llin unl.lif... ous ice cream, the gift of Mr. P. J. Zounis, was served at this time. The committee gave to the t>oldiers 200 cigars, 250 packs of cigarettes, 24 dozen bottles of Coco Cola. A bevy >f charming young girls went through he thiong giving to the soldiers delicious home-made candy. Vocal se.ections were rendered by Mrs. Fuliner and Miss Vera Melton. The glee club rendered several selections, Miss \ell Melton, violinist, entertained >vith a few selections, and Mrs. Lee Melton, at the piano, also gave her contribution to the entertainment of the day. It was a great day in Chesterfield. 1'he committees and their assistants ill worked hard and it is believed hey were amply rewarded by the pleasure given to every soldier, both >ld and young. The program for the day was in charge of the following chairmen of committees, who had assistants too numerous to mention: General chairman and speaking, lion. G. K. Lnncy; Dinner, . L. Hunley, Esq., and Mrs. rrank B. Sanders; Finance, Bradley F. Teal; Entertainment, J. Arthur vnight; To have tables prepared, J. A. Welsh; Refreshments, Miss Doris Laney; 1'uldicity, I'aul II. Hearn. 1'hese committees were augmented ind greatly assisted by numerous volunteers. Some cash was contributed and it is stated that if any funds are left jver they will be held for the enterainment next August, when it is .loped all the boys will be home. THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER IS ENTIRELY CORRECT The following paragraph is taken from The Yorkville Enquirer, lo which we wish to add our hearty amen: "If it were not for that fool rule if seniority that gives the leadership .if the party to the old political hacks who have been able to fool then' con.tituents in the greatest number of successive elections, the Democrntic party could Ret very great advantage from the experience, character, patriotism and ability of Hon.

There is not a man in congress who is the superior of Mr. Stevcmon from any standpoint." fiirtii in r ?? - - ? fvnbLUVb 1 XJL.L.O ^ I~ SOME OF HIS EXFERENCES The following letter was written by Mr. Jesse Wuljace, in response to ges the requests of his friends: ' far I sailed from New Port News, Va., '^n on Jan. 28th, 1917, on the British ,nc steamer Esmaralda, carrying 850 tw< horses. ext Our trip across would have been ,)rt: fine except for seasickness. We were hre all terribly sick for days. I went without eating for so long that I wa' could hardly walk. But somehow we ''h'1 all lived to reach Liverpool, where we to 1 landed our horses and started home- ^ ward. rh< We were a happy bunch as we ^on turned our faces homeward, but our ual joy quickly disappeared with our i,lai second attack of seasickness. The water was much rougher this time C"CI than before and so was the sickness. sLo1 in spite of the seasickness we hud ai,d been enjoying life fairly well until trul the famous German raider, Mocwo, 'ca' put in her appearance. She fired un8 three shots, from heavy guns, across kno our ship and we stopped. A few lts minutes later about twelve husky * Germans, heavily armed, came aboard I,ari and ordered us off at once. And 1 Just don't mind telling you that we were 1)UH r.ot long in getting off, for we saw 'l'nt two Germans place a large bomb in wer' our engine room and set it to go off and at a certain time. ious In my excitement I ran past the st bread shop and grabbed a loaf of ru'^ bread. It was fortunate for me that uf a I did this as that loaf was the only U bread I had until we landed in Germany thirteen days later. ent I cannot say that we enjoyed life mus aboard the raider, not very much, ing We found about 5,000 prisoners al- pers ready aboard, packed in like sardines, ditii and we were packed in with them. t>r, On the evening following our cap- prui ture by the Moewe, this ship attack- cnc< ed another British ship. The same plea order was given her in the same but fashion as ours, but her officers were fact of a different sort from ours. She Ked replied to th<* order by sending eight ileal torpedoes into the Moewe. anct You may well believe that pro- t*hej duced some excitement on our ship, the We prisoners were locked below ing deck during the fight and what happened is beyond me to describe. "I S only remember we were all telling uati our friends goodbye. Some were of t crying; some were praying. The grai ship was on fire by this time and we doz< did not know whether we would tion be burned to death or drowned. Fin- that ally the Moewe won the battle, the peoj good British ship, after a gallant peoj fight against ove rwhelming odds, troil was sunk, and then our fire was put and out. We then headed for Germany.' and We arrived in Germany on March grea 22d. It was an awful place to land, dem but we were glad to get on land once ?ai more. Our chief worry at this time G was for something to eat. We were big now wondering when we would get rela a meal. On the Moewe we had some and rice and beans. Now it was worse, bein It was shadow soup and only half of ? enough of that. We lived on this Slat soup and about half a pound of a bo bread for three months and worked its i hard every day. I guess you would cost have called us living skeletons. Right prit here I want to thank the Red Cross olhc people for what they did for us. It man would be impossible to express my he t feelings for them. I am sure they rem saved my life. Those who have nev- and er suffered as we did and were never now relieved as we were cannot appreciate cess our feelings for thu Red Cross. this As my letter seems to be getting togc too long, I will close. that Jesse Wallace. mjg] is r SANDY PLAINS just There will be preaching here next it, (| Sunday evening at 3 o'clock, by our 'p pastor, the Rev.

"lis sweet lo the soul to let our houghls \sa' iei hack through the aths of mi u.ory : xl take us again, is it were, into the presence of the rilliant life that Lee lived anions lis friends and lo oil ones. How wonderful to say of him, he vas a loyal son. la his father's home he was ?fVelionate, tender of heart and dented to each of his loved ones. No me < :.!! douiit. the fact that he was a i iii' son and a faithful brother. Some years ago Lee gave his heart 0 God anil toon on the^prlorious exH'ln nce of tiv Christian life.

After his conversion he united i ith the Shiloh Methodist church, . iad his consecration portrayed itself hrougli his presence at church and Sunday school. Lee was a great lover of home and ionic ties and often spoke of the ,oys of "home, sweet honie." Hilt we did not have to take his mrd for that deep to ierness for dome and those so dear to him, for lis patriotism spoke louder to us han words.
