Capt. Donald MRa Young AmencanKh Canadian Forces my RIDGE
Tells Thrilling Story How Mine Was Exploded Under German Trenches

something after sitting back and being
pounded for some months, but wished
il were some other form OF excitement
besides playing with mines, None OF
us had ever had to do this kind OF thing
before and il gave us rather queer
feeling to know that we were going
into a piece OF line that had two mines
under it, There was also the ques-
tion as to which would explode first.
In one case Fritz got a free ride and
IN the other we did
As none of us had had any previous
experience in this work we simply had
to dig in and dope il out for our
selves, Just like our boys will have to
da when it comes their turn in France,
We sat down at All old three legged
table and started TO work
The first question that came up was
the selection of officers to command
the party As | was new TO France
though | would do the heroic and vol
untcer--Sort OF take the plunge and see
what il was like, After a little argu-
ment the c. o, consented to give me a
chance.
Not Such q Dangerous Job.
I was wandering around with my
chest stuck out for few days until
one Of our veteran majors dryly re-
marked that had probably picked the
safest job in he whole show, and this
proved =. fact, for we were so close
to the enemy that most of his shells
went over our heads. The other off
Ger selected was Capt. f. Cowan, M.
C., ID. {. NJ (since killed in action
lie was also an American, coming from
Providence, and one OF the finest sol
dierS ! have ever known He started
out as private and went through
every grade to captain He was wound
ed three times and received two of the
most coveted gallantry decorations in
France. OF course he was the real
boss OF the party Substitutes were Sc
lected for each Of US, in case we were
hit These officers we're called into
the happy circle, and then we got down
to business.
The idea was for the adjutant TO lot
down a memorandum of everything de
cided upon and then draw up from this
operation orders. First the c. O. stat
ed what he thought should be done and
then we all discussed the matter, H.
nalb deciding to put two posts in at

sketch.

After the meeting, Captain Cowan

best men we could get for our storm
ing parties, and with these and two

secret training When the battalion
went back to tho line, we stayed ont
for two more days, completing odr
training. During this time, we worked

of the trenches and ground to be

THERE are a number of reasons why
we sacrifice men to capture and hold
the lip OF crater In the first place,
the post is usually well out In No
Mans Land and high enough to have
command OF the vicinity The lip OF a
crater is USUALLY about fifteen feet high.
An automatic rifle at this post can
do great execution to an enemy cross
ing No Mans Land by firing straight
down the ADVANCING waves, In other
words, we get an enfilade fire which, if
IT misses one man, will get another.
Another reason for putting a post at the
crater is that the high lip gives fine
place for the artillery forward ohserv-
ing officer Of o. o. from which to OBJ
serve our guniire.
Our post was about the only place
along that part Of Nimy Ridge from
which we could see the back side and
register our guns to advantage. This
is OF more advantage than the layman
thinks. Before that the Fritz gunners
had IT all their own way and we were
firing blind, When we got on some

CHAPTER /.

TITS a soldiers business to fight
rather than to write, but in the pres
ent emergency it seems to me to be
the duty of the soldier who has fought
in France aud lives to tell II to put the
,reSults OF his experiences and all the
pertinent information in his possession
st the command Of those Americans
who are now about to embark on the
great adventure
Thus in these articles | shall attempt
by rccountlug the events OF my own
service at the front and faithfully re-
cording what | saw, TO give a very
definite picture of the wal IN which this
country has now become the deciding
factor
My First Job.
Ny career as a fighting soldier began
early in the winter of 1910. One day
my colonel called together nine of his
Officers and told them that it was neces-
sary to prepare to consolidate a mine
that might be exploded on the front line
That we were going into. | was present
at the conference as an assistant adju-
taat
( We were then at a little shell torn
town called Villers au- Bois about three
miles from the battle-famous towns of
Souchcz and Carency where the French
made their famous gas attack. The
colonel told us that we would he going
into the line in a few days and every
things must be prepared by then.
o Why Mines Are Exploded.
THE mine was to be blown purely as
a defensive measure. We could hear
ne enemy tapping a mine under our
own line so ours was to go up first
and destroy his mine galleries Ii
wouldn't blow up his mine. but just iso-
fate it away out in No Mans Land
There must be hundreds of these huge
masses of explosives lying buried and
forgotten all over the battle front.
Besides saving our own line from de
struction, we wanted to occupy the lip

of the crater and also hoped to destroy
a large piece of the Hun line and per
hapS be lucky enough to send large
garrison up at the same time.

Negro Assaults White Man Near Trio.

Negro Assaults White Man Near Trio
Last Friday night Julius E Taylor,
a young negro selectman of the
Trio section, stopped at the home OF
Mr. William Davis, who resides be.
tween Trio and Andrews, and asked
if he might spend the night in Mr.
Davis kitchen. Permission was
given and some time during the
night, it is alleged, the negro got up
and assaulted Dayis while he was
asleep in his room. striking him q
severe blow on the head. Davis
wife, who slept in another room,
heard him groaning and struggling
and went to see what was the mat.
ter. She found him bleeding freely
and in an unconscious condition.
She called the negro who had gone
back into the kitchen; he came and
pretended to help Mrs Davis ad.
minister to her husband, but again
struck Davis with a hammer, and
then grappled with Mrs Davis. Her
husband called to her to get his
gun. She succeeded in getting away
from the negro's clutches and he
ran away from the house.
Deputy Cockfeld went down Sat
urday and with others spent the day
searching for Taylor. but up to noon
today Sheriff Graham has no word
of his capture. Davis is said to be
in serious condition.
julius Taylor was one of the ne
groes drafted and should have ap-
peared here last Saturday.

Fairey'> little girls near the eye.
The Sunday &vfore that while driv-
ing his auto through the same part
of town another little boy threw a
rock at the car striking Mrs Fairey
on the head. Neither incident was
serious as far as injury is considered,
but the throwing of sticks and rocks
at passing autobiles is serious thing
and should be stopped.
1t is reported to US that the prac-
tice among small boys is of frequent
occurrence in other parts of town
also. 1t encumbent upon parents to
take this matter up with their chill
dren and show then the danger of
it. Don't get it into your head that
your child would not do such thing.
for as a matter of fact he is not un-
like other children and may not see
the danger in his act until it is too
late. Spend few minutes in show
ing and advising your child against
such mischief and it will do good.
But if that should fail to accomplish
the desired result, then we would
suggest an application of the old re-
liable BLACK gum OIL" When pro-
perly administered it seldom fails,
as many of US know from experience.
However we advise that this be the
last resort.

SUCCESS
FOR NEW DISCOVERY.
There Are Others

When druggist sells bottle OF
bitters to a drunk man, or a drink
ing man, or mar who usually drinks,
he might we'll know that it is not be-
ing bought for medicinal purposes.
In fact, there is no excuse for selling
bitters at all; they have no value as
a medicine, and the amount of alco-
hol contained in a bottle is the only
reason the stuff is ever bought. If
the druggist does not believe that he
is operating grog shop. let MIN have
the chiefof police conduct him around
in certain back lots and cite him to
the bitters bottles in the weeds.
There is not a great deal of this be-
ing done in this county, but even a
little bitters is too much. The Star
believes that the druggist will here
after, having been told the facts, re-
frain from selling the stuff, except
in rare cases, and in fact. from buy
ing it himself.-Mari0n Star.
1t may be correctly inferred from
the above that Kingstree is not the
only town in the State that has to
put up with this obnoxious business
It is not a case where that old saw
misery loves company" applies
On the other hand the inference i!
an unpleasant one. for with it natur
ally comes the conclusion that there
are still other towns and communi
ties which are infested with a clas
of parasites who indulge in and traf
fic in ginger, "bitters," extracts OF
other alcoholic concoctions, merel!
for the sake of the alcohol, and th'
paltry price it brings.

More Than Three Thousand
Bottles of Vitona Sold by
Columbia Dealers In
Ten Days.
KINGSTREE DRUG
COMPANY WINS THE
KINGSTREE AGENCY.
Although Introduced In South
Carolina Less Than Three
Weeks Ago, Is Biggest
Seller In the State.

The Vitona agency for the city
of Kingstree has been awarded the
Kingstree Drug Co and the people
of this city may now enjoy the ben
efits of this great discovery.
Vitona was placed on sale in Co.
lumbia about three weeks ago, and
many remarkable statements are
now being made by people of that
city who have been restored to
health by its use after every other
medicine and treatment failed.
That over three thousand bot
ties of the preparation were sold by
Columbia dealers alone in ten days
time after its introduction there, is
ample evidence of the popularity
Vitona is enjoying. 1t is now said
to be the largest selling preparation
handled by South Carolina drug
gists and dealers. and the demand
for it is steadily increasing.
| Vitona is not to&Se classed with
the average proprietary medicines,
which are in many cases nothing
more nor less than medicated alco-
hol, which stimulates and does not
give lasting relief. Vitona is more
than a medicine. 1t is the liquid
extraction of rare mineral combl-
nation, prepared in natures own
laboratory in the bowels of the earth
ages ago, but heretofore unknown
to man. 1t contains iron, calcium,
sodium, lithium, stronthian, mag.
nesium and other minerals, each OF
which is known to possess great
therapeutic value. In the treat
ment of rheumatism, blood diseases,
stomach and kidney disorders, and
as a reconstructive tonic, it simply
has no equal. Vitona is also sold
by S S Aronson, at Lanes, W d
Bryan, at Bryan, and Farmers
Drug Co, at Hemingway.
