Four Edgefield Soldiers.

Mr.. Robert Adams writes from
Camp Jackson that he has been as
signed to an artillery company and
will remain at that camp for several
months, probably until he is order
ed for duty overseas. Robert is IN
the same quarters with George
Logue, Lewis Hammond and Mon
roe Mathis-four splendid Edge
field young men. We trust that
thew will remain with the same unit
throughout their term of military
service.

After Taps.

composed By Two Soldier Boys.[
In the GOODNESS of the evening,
After all the lights are out
And throughout the camp is silence,
Save the sentrys hailing shout
Comes the hour of great reflection
For the resting Soldier chaps,
And the weary oft. find comfort
In the stiffness after taps.
In the darkness CLEAN the faces
Of the folks we left behind
There are mother, wife, or sweet
heart,
And our friends so true and kind
Once again there ZONES a vision
Of that homeland, and perhaps,
One can ever hear the voices
Of those loved ones after taps.
Oft the aching hearts grow weary
And almost seem to brake,
Midst wars mad and helllsh turmolls
And the suffering they make
How we bless the starlit cleaning
AS the busy day it caps
And there comes escape from torment
On our dreaming after taps.
To the soul there comes assurance
That this cause is good and just
That we will never meet with failure
While in God we put our trust
And should deaths cold arms enfold US,
There'll be peace as life's cord snaps
Well find our loved ones over yonder
After taps.

Interesting Letter From Whit
on Manson to His Mother.

IN france.
My dear Mother:
1 wonder how you are? l do earn
estly hope your health is no worse
and above all l hope you will again
be restored to your full strength and
health.
Mother, I know the old sunny
South is looking good. 1t is good
enough for me any old time There is
no place more dear to me.
Don't think I am homesick-I want
J to see it we'll done over here. When
we are victorious I will be ready to
come home and not before. l am
glad that 1 am able to take a part in
the great struggle for the freedom
of the world. / am now in a country
where l can see what the German
militarism has caused the world to
suffer. / have been in England also.
Both countries are beautifully COW
cred with green. The meadows are
very pretty indeed.
You never see a spot in England
or France that is uncultivated and
you see very few forests. The farm
ing class of people in France is very
industrious. There are only a few
acres to each farm and from what l
can see they raise good crops of their
kind. They waste nothing and every
thing is put to some use
Instead of fences shrubbery of
all kinds is used. The roads are lined
on both sides with shrubbery or trees.
Some of the roads r very beautiful
to look at. Well, France is just what
you have read so much about.
Mama, I am in good health and
have been since l left America. do
hope I will continue so. I did not feel
the least sick while I was on sea. AS
1 am writing you this letter the ar
tillery is continually bombing.
We have some very exciting times
here. Since coming here I would not
feel right if J. could not hear the roar
of the big guns; though l can sleep
as if there were no noise.
Mother, where is Grady? l mag
inc he is here somewhere. If he is,
let me know his address. My address
is Corp. Winton F. Manson, Co. D,
ia NJ. C. Bn., American Expedition
airy Forces, via New York.
We are faring all right. OF course
you know there are some hardships
to go through in all wars. The men
are in good health and fine spirits.
They are wiling and eager to do their
part in whatever way may be neces-
sary.
believe we have as fine a bunch
of men as any army ever had. The
people back home can count on them
as being as fine and brave and willing
as the country ever saw. Victory IS
bound to be ours. It must be.
I will try to write you as often as
1 can, though I know you realize the
conditions. You must give my love
to the family and pay my respects
to all of nv friends. Tell them all
I will give the boches the best | have.
You must write often. With love
to YOU and father and all the family
I am

Trenton, S. C.

An old lady went one morning to
a friend who kept poultry, to pur-
chase a setting of eggs. The latter,
not having many on hand, asked:
"Have you got your broody hen?"
"Well, no." answered the prospec-
tive purchaser, "but our old hen has
broken her leg and she might as well
spend her time Matching out some
eggs as to sit around doing nothing"

Japan Is to Raise
Army of Is Corps

Toxic, June 15 The Entente
Governments of Europe are bringing
increasing influence to bear to in
duce Japan to intervene in Russia.
Among the severaI French officers
who have arrived in Toxic to con-
suit with the General STAFF is Major
Pichon, who was head of the French
military mission to Russia and whose
recall was demanded by the Bolshe-
Wiki. Major Pichon is striving for
Intervention in Siberia, as q military
necessity with the same energy that
he opposed Rumania's entrance into
the war as an ill-advised step.
Apparently, Japan Is divided on the
question of Intervention but the
army Is undergoing severe training.
London, June 10. = A dispatch to
the Times from Toxic quotes the mill
tary correspondent of the Toxic
newspaper Asahi as saying that the
business considered by the Council
at the General STAFF Office on June Z
was the abolition of the brigade sys-
tenn for the army, the adoption of a
corps system similar to the German,
and the increase of the army to
twenty-five corps of two divisions
each, with each division containing
three regiments.

Our Armies Ready
to Fight as Units

Washington, June 10. THE Ameri-
can military force in France has be-
come so large that General Foch,
Commander-in-Chie OF the allied
armies. has informed General Per-
shing that 1t is desirable to maintain
our forces, as far as possible, as pure
ly American units. This information
was given to the members of the
House Military Affairs Committee by
the War Council at joint confer
ence.
In accordance with this policy,
which tends to strengthen the -fighting
morale of the American soldiers
abroad, two full American divisions
are now engaged in the fighting near
Chateau-Thierry where the Germans
have been making their drive.
Secretary Baker informed the COM
mittee that in another two weeks this
American force would be doubled.
The policy of the allied commander
will be to increase weekly the Ameri-
can unit by decreasing the number of
Americans brigaded with the French
and British as the American soldiers
become more proficient in military
training under actual war conditions.
If the plans of General Foch are
carried out the American Army. fight
ing as an American unit and holding
a strong position in the line of the
western front, will reach 400, 900
within another six weeks.

Pigs Feet Favorite
Dish Of Senator

Washington. - You'd? expect of
course, that United States senator's
favorite food would be something
solid and conservative. like roast
beef we'll done, or something expen-
sive and exclusive, like porterhouse
steak, or chicken a la king.
Consequently it may surprise you
to know that Senator Page. of Ver-
mont, than. whom there is no more
shining example of senatorial dig
nifty, just dotes on picked pigs feet.
He confessed that the recent pork
less days proved a trial to him, be-
cause very exclusive Washington
hotel where the senator often dimes
refused to serve him the pigs feet,
on patriotic grounds.

Millersburg Ferry
Service Attacked

The first complaint to be filed
against a ferry company was enter
ed before the Public Service Com
mission to-day by the borough coun-
Gil of Millersburg in which 1t is
charged that the Hunter & Radel
Ferry Company. which recently filed
an increase in rates for ferrying
across the Susquehanna at that place,
was not chartered. Other allega-
tions were that they operate as in
dividuals and run the ferry at their
own convenience. and not to accom-
modate the public; that the boats and
equipment are crude and OF ram
shackle type" that there is mo
schedule and that the old rates were
too high themselves and that there
is no justification for an advance. A
further demand is made for restric-
tion of their operations until they
comply with state requirements for
public service.
