commanding officers as symbols. REX

plctc. and the signale lers had been drill

phone wires were cut, the signalcrs
were to send messages back by the
use OF rifle grcnadcs. These are rifle
pr"Jcctilcs which carry little metal
cylinders to contain written messages
and which burst into flame when they
strike the earth, so that they can be
easily found at night. The officer in
charge of the signalcrs was to remain
Mt the point OF entrance, with his eyes
on his watch. 1t was his duty to sound
warning signal five minutes before
the end OF our time in the German
trenches.
The leader OF every party OF ten also
had whistle with which to rcDeat
the warming blast and then the final
blast, when each man was TO drop
everything and get back of our artil-

dead or wounded i'm the German trench

the Germans might thus obtain. Be

FIRST TO GO

Chesterfield County has given her
first increment to the great National
Army of Select men. Of the twenty
names sent up to the district board
and published in last weeks issue of
The Chesterfield Advertiser eight
were selected to go at once and four
alternates were provided in case any
one of them failed to appear at the
point of mobilization.
All twelve men appeared promptly
at Cheraw Tuesday afternoon and it
is said the only disappointed ones
were the four alternatcs, who seemed
anxious to go. The eight who did
80 seemed perfectly happy at the
thought of composing Chesterfield
County's van guard in the great army.
All twelve of them were entertain
ed in fine fashion by Chcraw citizens.
There were so many applications to
take the young men to the various
homes in town that a compromise was
struck and they were entertained at
the Hotel Covington, where spccIal
menu was provided and everything
possible was done for their comfort.
If the remainder of the great army
proves to be as enthusiastic over the
great service they are to render hu-
manity, the National Army Of the
United States will undoubtedly be
the finest in point of morale the world
has produced.
The First Eight.
Following is the list of the first to
go:
Frank II. Lee, Angclus, in charge.
John Ellis Graves, Pageland.
Raymond II. Jenkins, Chesterfield.
William r. Eddins, Ruby.
Edd May Terry, Pagcland.
John r. Chapman, Society Hill.
Frank NJ. Guy, McBee.
Chas G. Nicholson, Pagcland.
These men will be attached to the
31Sth Field Artillery.
The Substitutes
Thomas G. Shaw, McBcc.

the mountains of western North Car
olina The bridge over Pee Dee river

there are two routes, one straight
through to Asheville, the other via
the National Highway to Spartanburg
