IN MEMORIAM.

Our beloved brother, J. Hansford
Fender, departed to be with Chrlst
on the morning of Jan. %, 1918.
Interment was in the Hunter S
Chapel cemetery on the following
day. The esteem of host OF friends
was indicated by an unusual array OF
floral tributes.
He Joined the church at Hunters
Chapel early in life, and later was
elected deacon which office ne held
until his home going.
His life, both private and public,
was a model worthy of imitation.
All who knew him, respected, ad-
mired and loved him. And he was
worthy. Indeed, he was one of the
truly great men in the Baptist ranks
in South Carolina and one of this
States best citizens.
He loved the Lord and was devot-
ed to His cause; serving in love and
humility, and like his Master, will
ing not to be known. 1t was hard
indeed, to give him up. The separa-
tion brought pain and deep sorrow
to multitude of hearts.
Now that he has gone from us we
can best commemorate his men,
ory by resolving to carry on the
work that he so much loved, with
renewed zeal. Therefore, be it
Resolved, first; That we recognize
the sovereign right of God to call
unto Himself one of His children,
and that by His grace we bow in
humble submission to His will.
That in him the Hunters Chapel
church loses one of her most useful,
influential and efficient members; the
denomination one of it's most loyal
and faithful supporters; the COM
munity and State one of their purest
and best citizens; the family an ideal
and loving husband and father.
That we feel deeply our loss, and
realize how greatly this man of God,
who. was so unselfshly devoted to
his family, friends and Christ's cause,
shall be missed.
That expressions of sympathy and
warm Christian love be extended to
the bereaved family.
That copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family, the Baptist
Courier, and the county papers for
publication. D. o. HUNTER,

been brought down and it was still
burning. Most of the crew had been
carried away, but saw hand stick
ing out from one end. 1t was grue-
some sight
When asked to tell what were just
most unforgettable experiences, Ma
jor Wood said that two stood out in
his memory-a night bombardment
by airplanes at Nancy and day at
the British front. He continued;
"On our trip to the front we drove in
luxurious limousine down a cordu-
roy road with nine-incn howitZers on
both sides firing over. our heads.
After we had gone as far as We could
we put on steel helmets and gas
masks and walked the rest of the
way. We did not strike any gas, but
the new gases are pretty bad. They
are not gases properly speaking, but
LIQUIDS, that evaporate slowly and
give off fumes
Major Wood refused to define the
exact nature of the scientific prob
lens that physicists are called upon
to solve.
Carrier Pigeons Value.
"In a general way l may say that
some of them consist in devising
means of locating batteries and meth
DDS of signalling" he said. ''It is
curious, though, that with all our
scientific devices carrier pigeons have
been found most effective after all
in carrying messages to and from the
front lines.
Il heard a remarkable story about
one of these pigeons. 1t had been
struck by shell splinter and its leg
driven up into it's body in such a way

In spite of being desperately wounded

dropped dead inside the home cote.
According to Major Wood, America
is not the only nation that is bur-
dened with red tape. when | was
in France l wanted a certain chemi-
cal for an important test, and had
to have it Immediately. A request
through official channel brought the
information that Prof. --- had
some of what | wanted, but that it
would take a month to get it as the
request had to be referred to several
authorities.

was assured that it was not in regle
and couldn't be done, but l didn't
see it that way. | called on the pro-
fessor myself and left the laboratory
with all he had in my pocket. So it
is sometimes possible to cut red
tape"
Another thing struck me in
France, he continued. THE war has
not speeded up certain things in
Francea They still take two hours
for lunch. All the laboratories are
locked up between IL and 2 and if
the custodian lets you in between
these hours it is under protest. They
have borrowed our poster, There are
six men killed every minute. Don't
waste that many l always wanted
to write underneath it, How about
those two hours at lunch?' ''-Ex.

WAR TO BE WON IN AIR.
United States Should Have a Flee
BY Spring.

1.-THE big need in France is Tor air
planes and for airplanes quick. Ev-
erybody over there asks when they
are coming and how many. This
country ought to have fleet OF fight
ing planes in the air by spring" This
is the opinion of Major Robert w.
wood, the eminent physicist who was
sent abroad in September by the Unit
ed States government at the invita-
tion Of N.he French government to
study scientific problems connected
with the conduct of the war. Major
Wood returned last week and for the
present win devote his time to work
in this country.
.asIt is not possible to emphasize
this fact too strongly" continued
Major Wood. II believe the war will
be- won in the air and that in the
future offensive tactics will play as
great a part as the work of observa-
tion, but am not at liberty to speak
.of these matters.
Zone thing about which much pop
nlar misapprehension exists, however,
is fighting in the air.. People i'm
imagine that airplane duels are every
day occurrences. AS a matter of fact,
they are comparatively rare. Planes
are more apt to avoid each other than
to fight. Most of the shelling is done
by anti-aircraft guns and when air
fights take place they are usually so
high up as to be invisible to observ-
ers On the ground.
Officers Experience.
ri saw an artillery officer who had
been on the front for many months
and had never seen a fight in the air.
When was outside Nancy one after
noon, just at sunset, 1 saw Boche
plane come over. 1t was up in the
region where there was still sunlight,
, and the puffs of smoke from the
shells fired by the anti-aircraft guns
we're turned to rose color by the glow.
I counted 12O of them, but the >Bo-
che made his getaway.
The effects of the torpedoes drop
ped from the Gothas are extraordi-
nary. They go straight down through
a seven-story building to the base
ment, where they explode with a
time fuse. Any house that has been
hit in this manner acts as an ex-
plosive. At Nancy I saw a house
that had been struck, and the frag-
ments of it had wrecked every house
in the square on which it stood.
1.-THE anti-aircraft guns are mar
velous in their range and compara-
tive accuracy. At st. Clement I saw
a Zeppelin that had been brought
down from 10000 feet by an anti
aircraft shell. Of course the Zeppe-
1ins move more slowly and make
much better targets than airplanes.
This particular Zeppelin had just

Alabama has four camps and two in

Arkansas has three camps and picr1c

South Carolina has five camps.
Tennessee has expenditure of $76,oOO,-
Texas has twenty-five military camps.
I was very much interested in these
statistics. The building of these camps
or cantonments has given large wages
to hundreds of thousands OF laborerS. OF
high and low degree. Virginia and West
Virginia have nearly or quite one-third
of this expenditure. The Semi-Weekly

cost OF war is and what must be
raised, outside of an army OF soldiers.
