Camp Sewer. July 19.-Thcre are
hundreds and hundreds Of visitors
from all sections Of the south and
many from the east, in Grccnville.
Crowds of visitors at the camp are
the largest that have been seen for
some time. Hotels are unable to take
care of the visitors and more than
100 people slept in the Southern sta
ton here Saturday night because
there was nowhere else for them to
sleep. Prosperous looking business
men from towns and cities, hard
handed farmers, wives and mothers
from North and South Carolina, Ten
nesscc and Florida. Georgia and Ala
bama are here TO see their boys.
G. Dclcted y The 300 or 400
automobile transfer men who ply
their trade between Grecnville and
Sewer at % cents per passenger,
have more business than they can
look after. So great has been the de-
mand for service that quite n number
of new "Icnrics' have been put on
the line. Paris pirates are selling all
the shipped eggs they can get ut ten
cents n piece and bits OF tough bull
as big as your hand for sixty cents
extra charge for gravy

Many OF these camp STSitors are
here by automobile, having made tho
trip hundreds and hundreds of miles
in some instances. Go in any direc-
tion and one may see mothers and
fathers walking around with their
son, or a wife with her soldier hus-
hand. or sweetheart with soldier
boy. There have been quite n number

When this division leaves Camp Sc

in the near future probably there will

that far outstrips anything else ac-

standpoint Of military courtesy,
knowledge of military matters and
all round ability. it is a No. l. A

A Recent Pay Day.
Most OF the outfits at Camp Sewer
have received their months pay dur
ing the past ten days and the coin
has been a little freer than usual with
most OF the boys. OF. course, ii
doesn't last long. A couple Of days
and it's all gone and the soldier lad is
broke until another pay day rolls
around. He should worry. Uncle
Sam sells him cigarettes and cigars
and soft drinks and all that kind Of
thing on credit In announcing the
recent pay day the bugle seemed to
say:
Oh, It's carly in the morning,
The mules begin to squeal.
You hear the cooks a'bangin' pans
To get the mornin' meal.
The buglers sort o toodlin,
Outside the colonels tent.
And you kind O. feel downhearted.
Because your last two bits are spent.
With a leggin'- string you arc fussin'
When the chief begins to play.
You listen and quit your cussin-
What's that the bugles say?
Oh. it's pay day. pay day. pay day.
And the drums begin to roll.
And they sure do carry music
To the busted rockies soul.
For it's pay day, pay day. pay day.
Can't you hear the bugles call?
The privates and the non-coms,
The officers and all
Have been waitin'. waitin'. waitin'.
Till they're broke or badly bent
For the coins stacked up on blankets
And tables in a tent.
