That the entire minds of the world
may be east in with mine, God has
made me to believe that there is 81

how powerful it is. Would it be posi-
BILE to reach up in the upper space by
the balloon with a hose pipe and by
means of pump bring down the upper

winning of the great battle of the
world! Open your minds and look up
from whence all powers come and see if
there isn't something in the upper

Important Notice to
Pickens Go. Voters

1t is necessary this year
for all electors to get their
names on their precinct
club roll in order to vote
in the Democratic prima-

so get a registration certi-

PickenS Co. MenMeet
In a French Hospital

j. S. II. Price of Seneca has re-
ceived word that his son Dewey, who
was recently wounded while fighting in
France. is not seriously hurt. The let
ter containing the news was written by
DIR. G. w. Smith of Liberty. 1t is
quite coincidence that out of million
American soldiers in France this Pick
ems county boy should have his wounds
dressed by Pickens county physician.
Following is DR.. Smiths letter to
Mr.. Price:
Field Hospital No. l3. lst Division,
A. E.. Il.
June |, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Price: You will probably be
surprised to get this letter, but l hope
it will be a pleasant surprise. had
the pleasure last night of meeting your
son, Dewey, for the first time. had
read in Farm and Factory of his being
over here, but l had no idea he was in
my division before. Dewey is looking
fine and is doing well. He came into
the hospital last night with a shell
wound in the lower left jaw, but it is
not at all serious. He was up at
breakfast this morning and feeling fine.
Dewey has been in the thick of it over
here and is a fine soldier and as brave
as lion-i in other words, is son to be
proud of by the way he conducted him
self, and to date he has given the Huns
goodly part of what is due them.
| am mailing you under separate
cover piece of the high explosive shell
which was taken out of Dewey's face,
and assure you that he will not have
an ugly scar left. | wish | could tell
you more of the heroism Of your boy,
along with that the rest Of the good
Americans are displaying over here,
but l must keep within the limits of
the censor's orders, and then too you
will probably get better account of it
in the newspapers than could possibly
describe to you in letter.
Give my kindest regards to my
friends in and around Seneca and take
care of your old self and grow big
crop of food.
With best wishes for you and yours,
am as ever, your friend,

After a few remarks by H. E. Seaborn
the meeting was turned over to Mr..
Carey, who delivered one of his stir
ing and patriotic addresses. Mr.. Har-
ris was then introduced to the audience
and made some very convincing re-
marks. Mr.. Sparks was then intro
duced and opened fire Immediately on
the slackers and profiteers, and in no
uncertain words made clear to every
one their duty to the government. The
audience sat in breathless silence while
the French officer was being intro
duced. He was interrupted by an
plause as he told how the French, less
in number than the Germans, often
beat the Germans back. He closed
with the statement that if the Ger
mans ever got to Paris it would be
when all of France was buried in the
valley of Marne. There was prolonged
applause.
