 C. Fred Winl1ler of Greenvilla. who will represent tke Seventeenth senatorial district in the legislature Is for A young man, unusually we'll known. First of all he was born August g, 1879, in Green vile, where so many other politicians were born. Secondly, he was graduated in law at the University of Alabama, and there formed many warm friendshins And third, he lived for couple of years in Birmingham.
 Not very long ago MT. winkIer re- turned to Gfeenville. He engaged there Tn the practice of law. On the side ba operated merchandise establishment and farm. And then he ran for +ba senate. Although he was onnosed h,, strong and popular men. he won bond. sonely. There is little doubt but that MT. Wlnkler as senator will make good TOT ne IS In possession of all necessary assets for success save experience
 Tn regard to what course of action tho legislature should take, MT. win,x,er Ia Ill the main reticent However. he will favor the abolition of all useless offces lie will not aid tho Rev. Brooks law renee in his efforts to re-establisb nro- hlbiuon He will oppose as strenpous,,, as he can, female suffrage. He favors the abolition of the convict lease system -'he immediate abolition. if that course Of procedure is feasible. He will support measure requiring the state to turn over to fndigent families of convicts n traction of the earnings of conyicts. ua air craft and each day building mora Taube aeroplanes for the purpose of attacking London. However. London supposedly slow, is well prepared for the visit, and they will have a more difficult task than they found In Paris.
 Kitcheners visit to France has proven England to be anything but slow. After General P-- was eourt martia1ed and shot for being too slow at Lille. and General told to pull himself together" or be replaced. the allies are holding their own and showing great progress. Another very high British official took a trip to the continent and short run Into the coun- try In a motor car with four friends, returning with very good bag con sisting of seven dead uhlans left and three captured ones.
 l am enclosing a post card received Just after the battle of Mons and sup posed to have been written on the bat tlefield. Another enclosure might be photographed and be of interest to the public, a cartridge picked up at Le Cateau. These cartridges were reported by the Germans to the American pub lie to be "dumdum" bullets You will see that they are cartridges with the bullets cut for use in certain revolvers dealt out to certain body of sol diers, whose revolvers would not take the ordinary long nose cartridge This particular one went through many places of battle in France.
 Stories Are Pitiful
 The American Relief society at the white room of the Savoy has done great work and hundreds, nay thou sands. of stranded Americans have been benefited by this generous committed. No one is turned away and the stories told are most pitiful.
 One American couple travelling on the continent had a most unfortunate ex- perience. The man being English, nat uralized American, became separated from his wife and child owing to his English accent The wife and child were sent on to London. Finally, after all their money was exhausted. they were told of the American relief fund and arrived there in a starving condition, and with but little clothing. She and the child were taken in to a palatial home and the doctor was called in to the little one who was very i'll; all pa- pers were immediately notified or this and asked to advertise, but as yet nothing has been heard of the man. Very probably he Is working In one of the detention camps in Germany, where they really work, not play games and cards, as they are allowed 1
