He DIED FIGHTING NoBLY.
John David Had Accounted for Ger
mans When He Fell-Son of DR..
David of Bennettsville, S. c.

In the last issue Of The Robesonian
vas published a news item telling of
the heroic deeds Of {. young South
Carolinian, John David. The brave
young soldier was known to many
Pobesonian readers. The Robesonian
is indebted to Mrs. Daisy W. jenkins
of Lumberton for clipping from The
Pee Dee Advocate of the 18th inst,
which gives the following letter. re-
ceived by DR.. J. H. David of Dillon.
S. c., formerly of Bennettsville, S. c.,
from Daniel C. Roper, U. S. commits
sioner Of internal revenue:
Washington, D. c., April II, 1918.
DR.. J. H. David, Dillon, S. C.
Dear DR.. David: | feel that |
should Immediately convey to you an
excerpt from a letter just received
from my son Daniel c. Roper. Jr.,
whom l infer from the letter was in
the same trenches and near your son
when he was killed. My son states:
"You would be surprised to see the
number of men killed over here
through their own carelessness and
recklessness. Just the other day a
friend of mine was killed in this way.
You will be proud to know of another
case Of South Carolinian, son of
DR.. David, near Dillon, South Caro-
lima, who met a different death-a
glorious one-it was necessary. He
was overwhelmed by the Boche, but
he had a pile of human flesh in front
of him. He fought like tiger, ac-
counted for seven Boches with his
pistol and then was fighting with an
empty rifle when struck from behind.
My friend was a Citadel man and a
fine officer"
This is a splendid encomium and
the record should greatly sustain you
in the loss. It is wonderful thing
to have contributed such a son to the
defense Of Christian civilization. While
expressing my sympathy for you in
the loss of this relationship, l con-
gratulate you and the State on having
reared such a son. Such instances
should be brought to the attention
Of the American people as they will in
spire and unity our people in this war
Of defense Of humanity and democrat
ic principles.
With kind personal regards, 1 am,
Sincerely yours,
DANIEL C. ROPER.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
The food administration has pre-
scribed that retailers selling wheat
and rye mill feeds will be allowed
to charge profit of 81 per Ion in lots

profit of one and one-half cents a
pound on sugar that has to be re-
weighed and re-packed. Under NO
circumstances must the maximum
price Of sugar to the consumer ex-
ceed 9 1-2 cents pound, except by
special authorization by the county
food administrator or the State food
administrator, and no such authorize
ti0n will be given except where the
retailer can show that the maximum
of 9 1-2 cents a pound will not allow
him the margins of profit above set
forth.
Sugar must not be sold in quanti-
ties of more than five pounds to a
consumer living in town or city and
ten pounds to a consumer living in the
country. An exception to this ruling
will be made in cases where there is
a legitimate demand for sugar for
preserving or canning purposes. In
such cases, the retailer is authorized
to sell sugar in quantities up to SO
pounds upon the signing of the fol-
lowing certificate by the purchaser:
"This is to certify that !,
desire pounds of sugar for use
in canning, preserving, or picking
fruits and that l hereby pledge that
none of the sugar purchased under
this certificate will be used for any
other. purpose. l further agree that
none of this sugar shall be sold, Civ
en- or<loaned to any other individual.
i declare further that the amount of
sugar above stated, together with
what I have on hand at present for
such purposes, is not in excess of
my requirements for canning, pre-
serving, or picking during the next
30 days"
