Columbus, Ga, Aug. 30.-Editor
Keowee Courier: / do not know how
it strikes others of your readers, but
to me the articles Of y. Is. Cary have
been most interesting, regarding the
early days Of Oconce county and the
prominent people thereof, and trust
that you will encourage him to con-
tinue the series, with the view to
printing same later in book form as
sort OF history Of Oconee county.
II Mr. Cary, or some one else hav-
ing literary talent and industry,
would write carefully prepared his
tory extending back to the period of
original settlement by white people,
and bring X on down to date, | am
sure that almost every reading fam
lily Of the county would buy a copy,
and in addition, the hundreds of peo-
pie raised in Oconee county who now
live elsewhere. For instance: If a
person could ascertain the particu-
lars regarding the trading posts, such
as Oconee Station was, and could
trace the establishment and history
Of the older churches, and give
sketches of the citizens who played a
leading part in the building up of the
various communities Of the county,
they could not fail to be OF great in
terest.
There are a number of sensa tional
occurrences, almost historical in their
character, which could also be includ-
ed. such, for instance, as two or three
large fires in Walhalla, the killing Of
the brother Of Morgan II. Bryce; the
recording Of a number of noted mur-
der trials and instances where, as
recall, men Of prominence have end
ed their own lives; the stirring in
cidentS to the re-establishment of
white government after the Civil
War, and other similar occurrences.
All would add keen interest to such
a volume.
The beauty Of it is that work of
this kind would constantly gain in
value, and a person could not lose by
buying, so that discerning people
would be glad to get copies.
\ number of the older and more
Intelligent men OF the county might
form Il committee for the selection of
subjects and for the collection of
facts relating to them.
The foregoing. while Of course very
disconnected, will in a general way
give the idea Of what have in mind,
and ! think the subject well worthy
OF an earnest effort in that direction.
Yours truly, ]. d. Massey.
p. S.-The columns Of The Cou-
rier would be potent adjunct to the
exciting Of interest in the subjec and
to the collection of suggestions and
facts from all parts Of the county.
Or an "Oconee County Historical As
sociation" might be formed to collect
S"ch Information. J. d. NJ.

DIVERT IRA FFIC SOUTHWARK.
Southern Ports to Handle ExpOrta-
tiOnS of Food to Europe.

Washington, Aug 20. Diversion
to Gulf and South Atlantic ports Of
virtually all movement of food stuffs
destined for export to Europe is
planned as Il government war meas
ure to relieve congestion Of railroads
and ports in the East.
New Orleans, Savannah. Charles
ton and Port Arthur are tho ports
which will be made the chief loading
points.
The plan will be worked out by the
shipping board IN cooperation with
shippers, ship owners and port au-
thorities. The shipping board will
appoint soon Il general traffic direc-
tor, who will be put in charge OF the
program. It was said tonight the
place probably would go to Benjamin
l.. Winchcll, Of Chicago. now tralnc
director Of the Union Pacific rail
road.
Ready by Winter.
The shipping board hopes to have
the plan working by winter, before
snow and bad weather have made
trans-continental freight traffic still
harder to move. Otficials who have
given the subject thought declare the
proposal will add 25 to 80 per cent
to the efficiency Of American railway
systems and will do away with the
present congestion OF freight in
northeastern ports.
The chief advantage claimed for
the arrangement suggested in that
export food, largely Western pro-
duet, will get shorter haul and that
nunition and other manufactured
products turned out largely in the
Tast, will not be delayed in shipmcnt
while awaiting their turn with raw
products.
Three Shipping Directors.
Under the traffic director the ship
ping board will name three shining
directors. ono for transatlantic
trade, another for South American
trade, and third for the Pacific.
Ihese men will be chosen on the rec
ommendatton Of the traffic director
hlmself, and no names at present are
under consideration, it was said to-
night.
In all the important ports, It is
planned to appoint voluntary terminal
committees to assist the traffic direc-
tor in expediting the loading and
sailing Of vessels. These committees
Will he chosen soon and will be call
ed to Washington for consultation
with the shipping board as to the ia
cilit'es at their several ports.

g. w. Hook, in The State.
On mem'ry's wings I'm waited back
to childhood's days,
When often worn at eventide with
childish plays,
calmly went to sleep, | know not
when nor how,
And was awakened by kiss and
hand upon my brow.
She gently led me in the chamber to
my little bed,
And kneeling down beside me, there
my prayers we said;
She tucked the cover round NE and
kissed me as before,
And then l sank in slumber and re-
membered nothing more.
All along through childhood's days |
This kiss and gentle hand a balm for
every wound;
And in my little pleasures and my
childish glee,
She could always join and play and
laugh with me.
Time has rendered many changes and
I'm getting old,
And this precious mother has oined
the heavenly fold;
But IN all my sorrows she ser, IS a
mothers part,
And her gentle hand and kisses cheer
my aching heart.

so because we were at war with his

Of sinking of life-boats by subma-

stories,' he said, and SO far as | am
concerned no life-boat will ever meet
such fate from my ship.

marine while the Germans removed
from the Christiane all her supplies
and sank her with bombs. The cap
tain then escorted us to our life

says. they can render an important
service to the country in this emcr-
gency. BY compliance with this plan,

have several hours in which to pick
cotton or perform other labors on
the farms each afternoon.
