PACOLET, ROUTE |.

Pacolet, Route 1, Jan. 15.-I see a
letter from Pacolet, Route 1, occa-
sionally, and l want to write few
lines, but hope the regular CORE
spondent will not think l am trying
to take too much space.
The weather is very cold today. 1t
is raining and sleeting and think we
will have an icy time.
Mr.. j. w. Nance has been spending
sometime with Mr.. j. S. Griffin on his
place near Gowdysville. Mr.. Nance,
Mr.. Griffin and Mr.. Munro Horne were
business visitors to Gaffney on Satur-
day.
MIR. j. d. Blackwood was a visitor
in Gaffney on Saturday.
The Coast Artillery boys of Jones'
vile are expecting their pay in the
next few days.
There was a large crowd at Jones'
vile on Saturday and the blind tigers
were doing good business, from all
appearances. certainly hope the
legislature will pass law that not a
drop shall be shipped into South Car
olina. If it could be had only by pre-
scription from a doctor, many a per-
son would be sick, / guess.
Farmers are getting pretty "wiry"
to plough now, but guess this cold
weather will knock the wire edge off.
l saw in last Fridays issue of The
Times letter from Gowdysville from
tx. Y. H." I should be so glad to
meet "X. Y. H."
If this letter escapes the waste bas-
ket | will try to write again.

KELTON

Kelton, Jan. 15.-The weather is
still unsettled, the changes from warm
to cold and from cold to warm is as
sudden as the changes in the price of
cotton, wheat, etc. 1t is good for us
If we do not weary over those sud-
den changes. Colds, grip and pneu-
monia are still prevailing in our COM
munity and some deaths.
Mr.. Sam Altman died last Friday
morning after suffering several days
with that dreaded disease, pneumonia.
The funeral services were held at Fos-
ter Chapel church Saturday evening
by the Revs. J. d. Croft and ]. c..
Kelly After these services his body
was laid in it's last resting place in
the burying ground of the church in
the presence of weeping relatives and
friends. Mr.. Altman was the son of
MIR. and Mrs. James Altman. His faith
er has been dead many years. He left
to mourn his death, a wife and three
small children, mother, six brothers
and one sister and many other rela-
tives and friends. but they do not
mourn as those without hope for he
left dying testimony that he was
trusting in the Savior 1t is always
sad when anyone dies. 1t is very
sad when a father or mother dies and
leaves little children to the cold chari-
ties of the world May she, by the
grace of God, look to him for help to
bring up these little children in the
nurture and admonition of God. Be
fore her marriage she was a Miss
Joyner of Wilkes County, N. c., and
came to South Carolina when quite
young. Her father and mother are
both dead and she has no relatives in
this country, which makes her condi-
tion the sadder, but there is one whom
she can trust, that sticketh closer than
brother or when father and mother
forsake He will take them up. May
she trust that one. The stricken fam
lilies have the sympathy of their many
relatives and friends.
Rev. j. c. Kelly filled his appoint
ments at Foster Chapel and Bethlehem
yesterday.
Mr.. Will Garner and wife who came
from the cotton mill last year to farm,
have returned to the mill this year.

NEW HOPE

New Hope, Jan. 16.-We have this
morning real winter scene, which is
quite different since our last writing.
This is our first freeze this winter,
and everything is decked with icicles
and it still continues to rain. This
scene is certainly beautiful to look at.
Most everybody likes to see it snow.
but / think the trees and brushes
hanging with icicles is just as pretty
a sight as snow. Sometimes the limbs
OF fruit trees become so heavy that
they break and do a lot of DAMAGE
to an orchard, but we hope it will not
be that way this time.
The missionary meeting was held at
Mrs. B. w. Whitlock Sunday. A large
number was present and we hope the
meeting will continue this way.
A call meeting of the School I'm
provement club met last Friday after
noon and plans for the next meeting
to make improvements on the school
grounds, so we hope all members will
come and bring some kind of tree or
flower to plant. Don't forget the time,
Feb. End, the first Friday.
We were glad to notice in our last
Missionary Voice about the good work
of Rev. d. E. Camak is doing in his
textile industrial institute in Spartan
burg and glad to see hs picture as he
has been our pastor on this charge.
We can't realize how much good this
man is doing for the young mill boys
and girls, and we wish for him much
success. Vero

ALL MEN OF Guard
WILL CO TO France
Those Left Out In Divisional
Reorganization Likely to
be Sent First
OFFICERS WILL NOT
LOSE THEIR RANK

CAMP WADSWORTH, SPARTAN
BURG, s. c., Oct. n.--All the National
Guard officers and men will get a
chance to go 10 France. and some OF
those not included in the first line
regiments Of the Twenty-seventh Di-
vision will go much sooner than they
had expected. according to a state
ment made by the War Department TO
sthe division commands which was
made public at division headquarters
today. The statement says In part;
AT the time war was declared the
organization Of our army was based on
the idea Of manoeuvre warfare, such
as we would ordinarily have in this
country. The Wrench and British mis-
slons and Gen. pershlng agree that a
radically different organization Is ne
cessary for more efficient service In
such warfare as In Europe at present.
European war methods influencing our
organization were not fully developed
even up TO the time we entered the
war. The question Of recognizing the
army was a serious one and was not
determined upon until 10 was shown
to be absolutely necessary under the
special conditions that confront US.
Having decided to reorganize, the
best methods Of doing 70 because q

realized that II tho new divisions were

Of the old, readiustment Of the duties
Of many officers and some Of the Or
CARNATIONS would be necessary.
1.-THE strength Of the new division in
officers and men does not differ materi-
ally from the old. but the number and
kind OF organizations are different
For example. the old division had nine
regiments OF infantry, while the new
has only four, but the new regiment
has almost twice the strength Of the
old in officers and men. There are
three machine gun battalions and q
trench mortar battery in the new divi-
sion. These are new organizations
which do not appear in the old.
1.-THE National Guard divisions have
varied in the composition Of their
units, no two being exactly the same
Most have had an excess of infantry
and a shortage OF artillery. In the re.
organization some Of the regiment.
have been converted into other units
for example, infantry regiments int
