Furnishing Traitors.

1t is very gratifying to know that
the government is going after it's enc
mics at home and abroad. 1t will
soon be questionable as we'll as dan
gerous- in South Carolina to talk or
print reasonable matter. Uncle Sam
is not going to discriminate in favor
of any rascal or traitor, and Judge
Smith seems to be peculiarly we'll
qualified to administer justice-even-
handed justice adequate and swift,
to those who have violated the law
against the United States. We hope
Judge Johnson will follow the ex-
ample of Judge Smith when he goes
to deal with the scoundrels who are
guilty of sedition and treason in his
district. Those who are not in SYM
pathy with this war must, neverthe-
less, be made to realize that they
must keep their mouths shut and
their pens still.-York News.

FIGHTING IN 4 TANK.
Letter Descriptive of Battle of
MeSSineS Ridge.

In Belgium, June 10, 1917.-Dear
M:-Your letter found me in hospital
and was most delightful company,
writes Lieut. T., of the British army,
in Scribner. My trouble is not much,
Just a bullet through flesh part Of
right forearm and Craze in the
side, and l am up and about and
going back to my lot in a day or two.
We were an active part in the great
drama of the 7th, and what with
the bursting mine-earthquakes and
the trempestuous bombardment. one
was lucky to be left with ones senses.
I, personally, was very successful,
reaching all my objectives and get
ting slaped in the blue gray devils,
Bavarins, and blazing away like a
dreadnaught. Oh! The sights which
were seem Luck, good and bad, was
with me, for my bus caught on fire in
action just where the thing was the
thickest, and I ordered the whole
crew out, with IRE eXtinguishers, to
put it out. Out we went and got
busy. 1 left my crew on the shelter
ed side (more or less), but my cor
poral, without orders, got on top
while l went to the exposed side,
vociferously ordering the corporal
down, and we got the blaze out be-
tween US. Meantime one if my crew
was blowed over. We got him back
inside and later he came to and is
recovering. Where I was the bullets
were scattering around me and hit
ting old Squash 'em Flat" and
slashing me with fire sprays of brok-
en- metal, and there it was l got my
trifling wound and scratches, but it
was only bad Bavarian shooting that
kept me and my corporal (who was
untouched) from being turned into
human sieves. After that, we carried
on, and as had finished my job to
the last letter, we came on home and
/ brought the old thing back safely.
When home I had the arm dressed at
the most advanced place and the bits
of bullet casting in there pulled out
and, as it seemed so trifing, I put
on my coat and carried on as before
The next morning by brigadier came
to my sleeping palace, in person, and
Indignantly asked me if were go
ing about with a bullet in my arm,
and I as Indignantly denied it, but
he ordered me to the hospital to be
inoculated for antitetanine, patted
my back, shook my sore arm, and
said we had done the best show Of
our lot the whole day.
