SJMMERTON.

The iustaIlment plan as applied to
the payment of a debt has oever been
proven either wise or expedient; but
it's use in newspaper correspondence IS
mapifestly desirable. A letter from
Summerton which at all fully repre-
sented her business, social, and relig-
ious life, would require more space
than could be expected, and would
necessitate on the part Of the cores
pondent a complete sacrifice of other
employment. Therefore. let it not be
expected bv the Times readers that
they will fod 10 a given letter any
ADEQUATE treatment of more than ons
of these phases of activity. That they
may know something OF those who are
coming and eoing," we shall mention
in this brief column some personal
dots that have been brought to our at
tentlon.

Alonzo V. Williams was born in
Darlington, S. c., October 25, 1886.
He was the youngest son OF Alonzo B.

from 1914 10 1916 and who was the first
man to put up cotton mill in South
Carolina.
Alonzo was raised on the old Nelson

The Newman's Branch School Trouble.

As we uudel stand the trouble, it is OF

keeping them apart. The more recent

He also relates how song got started.
| 1t was customary for the men who
were too old for war to come to the
camps with rations to peddle, and one
night an old fellows mule got loose
and the mischievous boys commenced
shouting all over the camps, "Here's
YOUR mule, here's your mule" until
The old fellow was so confused be
didn't know where his mule was. One
smart fellow wrote the song like this:
"In August or September last
OF that most bloody year just past,
On Shenandoah's banks stood
And unused in melancholy mood
When suddenly I heard q fool
Yelling loudly, Here's your mule
Here's YOUR mule, O here's your mule;
Yelling loudly, Here's your mule.
Disguised now I turned my back
And to the camps I took my track;
I got to camp twas dress paraoe,
The line was formed, the orders read:
The commander in chief his bow had
made;
Parade dismissed the adjutant said.
The men broke loose like boys IN
school
Believing loudly, Here's your mule.
Sickened now, l a furlough got.
And to my home | took trot;
And every where, in stage or car,
Here's your mule, would greet my ear.
Here's your mule, Here's your Mule,
Here's your mule; o here's your mule.

and not third, as is generally sup

The real loss of prestige to the

discussed generally to-day by Off
GERS at the Navy Department.
Rear Admiral Bradley Fiske, chief
of staff of Secretary Daniels, pointed
out the real comparative strength of
the nations as shown by Brassey's
figures is:
