SOLDIERS PROVIDE FOR

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, June 22.-Though the
American troops have repeatedly
made themselves extremely popular
by their open handed generosity TO
the natives among whom they hap
pen TO be quartered. 1t has remained
for an artillery regiment to distin-
guish Itself especially in this re-
spect.
The unit was quartered for some
time in little French town behind
the front, and on the first evening
found, almost dying from hunger.
an S-year-old boy whose mother
had been killed at Verdun. The
boy had wandered aimlessly about
until he reached this town.
He was unanimously adopted by
the regiment, fed to safety and
made the mascot and idol of the
men. The time came, however, very
recently, when the artillerymen had
to leave for front service. To take
the boy with them was out OF the
question. He had been given the
nickname of Pat" and they had
grown so attached to him that they
felt something must be done 10 as
sure his future.
So the men raised two thousand
francs with which Pat" is TO be
cared for in a home and given at
least a rudimentary education. They
have gone on to the front, possibly
never will see the little town again;
but the town, and Pat. will not soon
forget them.

HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE.
Earn of j. W. Stokes Burned.-LOSs
Five Thousand Dollars.

Mr.. ]. w. Stokes was a heavy loser
by fire Monday, when his large barn
was completely destroyed, together
with all contents, involving a loss
conservatively estimated at $4,000.
About fifteen bales of cotton, baled
and in the seed, were burned in ID
dition to feedstuffs and farm imple-
ments.
The fire, when first seen by Mrs.
Stokes, had already made consider
able Roadway, and nothing could be
done to stay. the progress of the
flames. The city fire department re-
sponded to the alarm, but as the
waterworks do not extend that far,
no aid could be given. The origin
of the fire is not known, but evil
IDENTIFY it started in the cotton.
Fourteen bales of ginned cotton
we're in the barn, and about one bale
in the seed. Several bales of the
baled cotton we're rescued in a char
red condition, and it is possible that
a small portion of it can be s~alvaged.
The barn contained about 1000
bundles of fodder, a large quantity
of corn, seed oats, cottonseed meal,
hay and other feeds, all of which
were completely burned. The barn
building was a substantial structure
and probably could not be replaced
for less than $1,000, if indeed it can
be replaced at all under present con-
ditions.
The smokehouse, located a few feet
distant, was also burned. This build
ing contained a quantity Of meat and
other foods, all of which were burn
ed. Practically all of Mr.. Stokes's
:.,rm in.nlements we're burned. The
livestock was saved, and fortunately
none of the farm vehicles were in
the barn at the time.
A brisk wind was blowing in the
direction Of Mr.. Stokes's residence,
and it seemed that nothing could
save the house from the flames. All
of the furniture and appliances of the
residence were removed, but a fortu-
nate change in the wind saved the
house, although there was naturally
a heavy loss from the hasty removal
of the furniture and fixtures.
The loss is especially heavy. on
Mr.. Stokes, as no insurance was car
ried on any of the contents of the
barn, and practically none on the
building. The cotton itself involved
a loss approximating $4,000. Mr..
Stokes operates extensive farming
interests and possessed a great deal
OF modern farming implements, all
of which we're housed in the barn.

Failed to Register.

Last. week Charlie Meeks and Roy
Beavers, two colored men, were ar
rested for failure to register. They
we're carried before the Local Board
and by the board sent Immediately
to Camp Jackson, the failure to reg
lister being in itself considered de-
sertion from the army. They were
indicted into the service peremtorlly.
Charlie Meeks and John Henry
Meeks. sons of John Meeks, of Mid
way, both failed to register, and It
was ascertained that it was through
the influence of John Meeks that they
failed to do sc. John Meeks was
consequently also arrested and turn
ed over to the federal court for OBJ
structing the draft. John Henry
Meeks would also have been induct-
ed Immediately into the service, but
he failed to pass the physical exami-
nation. The ages of the boys are 10
and 21, respectively, although their
father claimed they were four years
younger.
The Local Board says that is there
are any others who for any reason
failed to register, they may come up
before the board Immediately and do
So. In case they come voluntarily,
they will not meet with punishment.
Otherwise they will be arrested and
sent directly to training camp.
