J. w. Fouts and his nephew, 1T.
H. FOuts of Raleigh, recently visited
Camp Jackson, Columbia, S. c., and
report everything in fine shape They
went to visit a brother of HI. H. and
! son of d. w. Fouts. Following is
their report of the trip: He left High
Point Saturday morning, 18th, at
4:22, arrived i'm Columbia at $50 a.
m., and to say we found clever
people would not express it, but we
found great big. open hearted peo-
pie, ready and anxious not only to
aid stranger by giving any infor-
NATION desired but opening the doors
of their homes and insisting upon
us to enter and help them eat and
enjoy the good things of life, which
we will remember with multiplied
thanks for time to come.
After alighting from the cars the
first thing we did was to see if we
could find some one we knew, which
resulted in us meeting several High
Pointers and some from other towns
whom we knew. giving us much
pleasure to have met and talked
with them and after spending about
one hour thus we boarded a street
car for the camps in company with
friend in the person of Fl. A. Wies-
ner, who SO kindly volunteered his
services to pilot us and for which Wea
are very grateful, and after travel
ing six miles we arrived and found
the Sammies in uniform and as
cheerful as a crowd of school boys
the picture of health; and after stay
ing few minutes we 1lfarle inquiry
and found Regiment No. 322, and
by request we soon presented 10 the
boy George, whom we had gone to
see.. but who did not quite have
duck-fits for we had not. notified
him tadt we were coming and he
did not know that we were on the
grounds.
After few words of inquiry about
the health of the folks at home be-
gan the introduction of us to the
boys whose handshaKes were
pleasure to us for they all seemed
like brothers and nepheWs.
Next we Strolled around over that
! big family residence, a two-story
structure which we not only found
neat but tidy as well. At this juno
ture the announcement was made
that dinner was ready and we went
and ate with Uncle Sam, who had
provided us with sumptuous meal
which we enjoyed very much. After
resting a while we hitched up cur
"mammies' colts and began walk
ing and looking and looking and
walking in the direction of Washing.
ton, D. c., as the camps are east of
Columbia and we were travelling a
northerly course. We almost began
to wonder whether or net we would
land at the capitol, but about that
time it was announced that we had
walked a mile and a half, where
upon we voted to retrace our steps
and accept the assurance that they
did not quite reach the capital of
our great republic, and returning we
boarded a car and soon found our
selves comfortably housed in the
home of our friend and guide, to en-
JOY the good things of that home.
The following morning we return
ed to the camp and spent the day
with the men who are to be and will
defend our nation, old men, women
and children. May God bless, make
and keep them clean. Leaving Co
lumbia that Sunday evening at A
O'Clock, arrived at High Point at 10
o'clock, soon reaching the place we
call home and retiring slept Soundly
until morning,
We arose, with stronger determine
ton to 60 forward and press the bat
tie to the gate by endeavoring to
plow deeper, seed greater, live more
savinsly and thereby endeavor to be
a help. Let others fellow.
