William R. Flemming of Windsor, Conn. is rapidly making a reputation as driver among the younger genera tion of reinsmen. He was born at Medford, Mass, and as a boy saw all of the great trotters perform at Mystic Park. Olmost as soon as he graduated from school he marched off to the trot- ting park and secured a position as groom in order to get a thorough knowledge of the care and training of light harness horses before taking up driving. AS nature had favored him with a light hand and a cool head he readily took to race driving and hld his share of winners as soon as he was favored with mounts. After a suc- cessful campaign with Frank A., he was employed by W. c. Norton of WatervilIe, N. Y, for whom he raced Lucy Patch successfully on the turf and ice. At percent he is training the Elm City Stable of New Haven, Conn. and has been winning with Lord Lock abar and Rosa Watts.

Burdett Loomis, who is now a resid- ent of St. Marys, Ga, was in Hart ford last week. He is now in his eighty-first year and still takes as keen an interest in light harness rac- ing as in 1870 when he purchased the site of Charter Oak Park or when he was busy drafting the conditions for the first $10,000 Charter Oak Purse that was won by Director. When speaking of racing MT. Loomis said that the first harness meeting he at tended was held the last week in Octo- Der in 1861 on the old haf-mile track on Albany Avenue At that time he was living in Sufheld, Conn, and drove to the races behind a pair of Morgan horses which were brought down from Vermont by the men his father em- ployed exchanging gunpowdeT for furs with the northern hunters. He said: "The only race I now remember at this meeting was one to saddle be- tween Rockingham ridden by Budd Doble and Lancet with Dan Mace up. Rockingham won in 2:24 1-4 which was wonderful time in those days"

i. George Stengel, who was for years a leather merchant in Newark, N. J. and an admirer of light harness rac- ing from days of Widow Machree, when he died a few years ago left a number of horses on his far mnear Red Bank, N. J. One of the lot was a brown colt by the Bingara horse Baldo out of the little Aloyone mare Bush that made a record of 2:09 1-4 in the third heat of the Pennsylvania that Rilma won in 1897. This colt was called Incomparable and the name selected shows what his breeder thougt of him. As a yearling MT. Stengel shipped Inconparable to Ken lucky and after seeing him trot a mile in 2:40. sent him home to hold over for the Kentucky Futurity. Sickness and death in his family interferred with the plans made for the colt and he is now being used as a matinee horse at Goshen, N. Y, where he re- gently won in 2:16 3-4 over the half mile track.

NEWS OF CHARLIE HAIGLER.

At the closing exercises of the
Georgia University at Athens, di-
plomas were awarded to many young
men who had already left the school
and enlisted in the service of their
country Among them was Charles
Adolphus Haigler, of Abbeville who
took the full course in Electrical
Engineering.
Mr.. Haigler is in the Aviation
Corps and has been in France for
some time. He writes most interest
ing letters home and it will give US
pleasure to publish some of them
that all his friends may hear of him.
This young man is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. C. A. Haigler, and has al
ways been a credit to his family
and his home town.

Sec. Baker Tells Graduating Class
at West Point Movement of Troops
will Soon Be in Seven Figures

West Point, N. Y, June H.
More than 100000 American fight,
ing men will be in service in France
in the near future, declared Secre-
tary Baker in an address today to
1877 graduates of the United States
military academy.
Supplementing his recent an
nouncement in. Washington that Un-
tied States troops, "exceeding 70O,-
900 in. number" have disembarked
on French soil the secretary told the
cadets, sit is not unfair to speculate
that we will shortly pass the 1,OOO,-
900 mark"
Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of
staff, said that neither the menace
of raiding German submarines off
the Atlantic coast, nor the territor-
ial gains of the enemy on the west
ern front, will affect Americas pol
icy of sending men to France as
fast as ships can carry them. Today's
graduation was that of the class OF
1919, whose members were awarded
their diplomas year ahead OF
time because of the urgent demand
of trained officers.
Mr.. Baker, who awarded the
diplomas, told the graduates they
were destined to have part in lead
ing the armies of the nation to a
victorious peace. "After that" ne
said, "as officers of the regular army
you will prepare not for war, but be
ready for another war if anybody
wants to make it."
Mr.. Baker declared that the I'm
tied States became a belligerent be-
cause Germany tried to crush in
dividual human happiness and liber-
ty which we call the theory of demo
cracy."

The Presidents Appeal
To All Americans
TO BUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
AS REGULARLY AS POSSIBLE.
CAMPAIGN ENDS JUNE 20

The President of the United States
has called upon the loyal men and
women of America to pledge them
selves to save for victory. He has
issued an earnest appeal to all
Americans to buy war savings
stamps as regularly as possible, in
vesting in this form of security the
money saved through avoiding need
less expenditures.
"The 2Sth of June ends this spe-
cial period Of enlistment in the
greatest volunteer army of produc-
tion and saving here at home. MAY
THERE BE NONE UNENLISTED
ON THAT DAY"
What loyal American will refuse
to respond to this appeal issued by
the executive head of this nation,
and the commander-in-chief of our
armed forces?
We have the opportunity to enlist
in this "volunteer army of produc-
ton and saving" In Germany, it
is a matter of compulsion. The
iron hand of the German autocracy
forces it harshly upon the German
people, depriving them not merely
of luxuries, but of the barest neces-
sites of life. We are asked in
America to voluntarily postpone our
needless luxuries so that our SOL
diers and sailors may not lack their
necessary equipment. What the
German nation does under rigid
compulsion, certainly Americans
will do in a mild way voluntarily.
1t is unthinkable that there is a
man, woman, or child in America
who will refuse to sign the pledge
to save and to invest portion of
the savings in war savings stamps.
We must respond to the Presi-
dents solemn appeal-we must sign
the pledges, not because we feel
forced to, but because it is an op-
portunity for us to help win the
war. The pledges should be signed
cheerfully, willingly, gratefully.

SPARKS SPEAKS.

Col. Joe Sparks spoke in the Court
House on Wednesday afternoon, at
$50, in the interest of the War
Savings Stamp campaign. He was
introduced by Mayor Mars, and in a
short but interesting talk made
plain to those people who heard him
the work which lies before us.
He emphasized the fact that the
people have not yet felt the effect
of the war, and that if we are to
win the war it must be won at home.
The people here, he said, were de-
1iving themselves of nothing in Or
to help the government in its
sculties, but on the other hand
Pie practicing every kind of ex-
travagance to which we are accus-
toned. He warned the people that
there must be an end of this if we
are to play our part in the winning
of the great conflict.
He gave some valuable advice on
the way the money is to be raised.
The idea is that those people who
have as yet not assumed any of the
burdens of the war in the way of
purchasing Liberty Bonds should
come forward and buy the War Saw
ings Stamps. No man he said,
should be excused, it being the in
tention of the government to Sc
cure the name of every man who re-
fuses to assist the governmnt with
his rasons for so doing, in order
that the government may know who
are it's friends.
Every man is expected to do his full
part. No one can buy more than
one thousand dollars worth of these
stamps, and there should be a large
Limit Club in Abbeville County,
that is a large number of people who
are willing to buy the limited
amount of one thousand dollars.
