SERVICE
FOR UNION BOY

Green Street Methodist church was
filled to its uttermost capacity last
Sunday morning with the many
friends of Private William J. Lank-
ford, probably the first Union County
boy killed in action Every feature
of the service was most solemn and
appropriate. The extensive improve
ments recently made to the interior
of the edifice were about completed,
the large augmented choir occupying
the new choir loft. The music added
to the solemnity of the occasion. The
pastor, Rev. ]. B. Chick read the 18th
chapter of st. John, after which an
eloquent and impressive address was
made by Rev. l.. L. Wagnon, in which
he paid high tributes to the young
soldier. At the CONCLUSION of the
services a large floral wreath was
presented the bereaved family as a
token of sympathy from Fair Forest
Chapter d. A. r. The hundreds of
sympathiZing friends and relatives
present bore testimony of the high
esteem in which the young man was
held in this county, and also the deep
sympathy felt for the parents.

LETETR FROM FRANCE
France, June 8, 1918.

rance, June y, 1910.
Dear Mother:-
l have just received letter from
you and was glad to know that you
were all we'll. 1 am feeling fine and
lures taken and thought they would
be finished in time to send them
along with this letter, but 1 guess
won't get them for day or two
yet, l will send them as soon as / get
them. You can't imagine how hard it
is to write a letter from over here,
there is so little that one can say.
We are enjoying fine weather for
one thing, which is more than well
come, for we sure had some bad
weather.
You spoke of the papers, got two
bundles of them and read every word
I think. l also received the Sunday
school book and have Bible which I
read often.
Pm glad that Victor doesn't have
to come yet and hope and pray that
it will soon be over, so we can all go
home.
We are all working pretty hard
now, but we don't mind if it helps to
win.
Well l,there is not much that I can
write, so I guess I will close for this
time. Write soon and often.
With love and best wishes to all,
am, as ever,
Your loving son,
Marion.

DEMOCRATS CAN REOPEN LISTS
Provision Made for a State COnven.
ton, it is Pointed Out

Columbia, July st has been pub
lished in a number of papers that
there is no way by which the sena-
torial contest can be opened to other
This impression has been
formed evidently upon a reading of a
part of rule 32 of the Democratic
party rules, which provides for the
reopening of the lists to candidates
in cases where there are only two
candidates for an office and one of
them dies.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
rules of the party also provide for
their amendment in situation such
as has now been created by the death
of Senator Tillman. Rule 40 of the
party reads as follows: "These rules
may be amended or altered at the reg
ular May convention Of the State or
any State convention called specially
for that purpose, the call for which
shall specify the changes to be made"
Senator Tillman's death has of
course changed entirely the conditions
of the senatorial race. 1t is believed
that there is a great body of opinion
in the State which would favor the re-
opening of the lists even if a State
convention has to be called for that
purpose.-News and Courier.

more successful campaign. Certain
ly the Sunday revival in Omaha pro-
duced no such comparative results.
Those who were touched by the Free
mont meetings were won by sheer
weight of argument very much more
than thru their emotions. They have
an unusually clear vision and intelli-
gent comprehension of their relation
to God. They are now showing the
strength of their convictions by pour
ing into the churches and giving these
institutions such degree of enthusi-
asm and vigor as they have never
shown before. That there are to be
more accessions to the faith and the
church than were indicated by pro-
fessed number Of conversions appears
assured. The work Of Evangelist
Rayburn was done in such rational
manner as to strongly appeal to COM
mon sense. The good he did will be
lasting. So effective is he in his
methods, so versatile in his talents, so
adjustable to the common man that
he leaves little Of an Objectionable
nature in his work. His evangelistic
campaign lacks commercial flavor.
He has not commercialized religion,
but has recognized commerce"

Health Conservation in the Country

CCRPRISE is felt by some that unbiased
~ reports from official circles indicate the
correctness Of the conclusion that the city
is more healthful place in which TO live
than tho country. Rural dwellers will do
we'll TO ponder the matter and ask them
selves how it comes about that a situation
exists which on its face seems impossible.
1t Is not difficult to divine the cause. It
is merely that the country has not kept pace
with the city in preventive measures. 1t
takes chances" rather than precautions.
There was recently published i'll The Times
Dispatch an article based on information
furnished by the State Department Of Health
indicating the most serious lack of aDpreca-
ton OF the Importance OF proper sanitary
arrangements in country homes. and showing
that those homes in which the health Ct the
occupants and OF the community was pro-
tccted by adequate sanitary equipment or
precau ionsry measures constituted but a
negligible fraction Of the total. II was like
wise shown that the law was specific in re-
quiring that the occupants OF every home
should have their health and well-being adc-
quatcly safeguarded. failure to provide
proper sanitary arrangements being mis-
demeanor punishable by fine.
Typhoid fever. the prevalence Of hook
worm and the several other varieties OF
parasite in the human body. dysenterv and
other forms Of bowel complaint. and numcr-
Gus other diseases levy their full toll of
deaths, illnesses and loss OF vitality solely
because steps arc not taken to stop them
at their sources. Soil pollution means hook
worm. lnsantary conditions mean the
spread OF fy-bocne diseases.
The country districts OF Virginia must
awaken to their needs. Each county should
have its wholctine health officer. whose
DUTY il would be to furnish at q minimum cost
the ounce OF prevention in place Of the ex-
nensiVe pound Of cure the family doctor now
attempts, frequently without success to pro-
fide. In the country people are making Won
