BOUND OVER.

Deputy U. S. Marshal Bruce came
from Abbeville yesterday and with
Deputy Sheriff White went down and
arrested Lige Faulkner on the charge
of violating the whiskey laws of the
United States. Faulkner was one of
the fifteen arrested in connection
with community distillery in the
White Hall section some weeks ago.
He was tried in the State court here
and convicted. He will now have to
face trial in the United States court.
A preliminary hearing was held this
morning before U. S. Commissioner,
C. E. Williamson at Abbeville, and
bond fixed at 5000. Bond was fur
nished and Faulkner was released.

sole purpose in view, returning
from the seat Of the Senate to the
army 70 do my bit as a soldier in ac-
tual service, which I feel will be a
greater honor and for a nobler
cause than any other in the sight Of
God and man.
As to the other issues, the short
time in the Senate would doubtless
give no opportunity to bring them to
a successful conclusion. They can
be properly presented and concluded
in due course Of time. As to this,
I wish to reiterate that believe in
supporting labor in its legal efforts
and protecting capital in its lawful
investments for they go hand in
hand and their intercourses should
be compatible. Also, that some en-
actments should be made to adjust
the conditions of labor confronting
the farmers and others, and that
the allotment allowed dependents
should be handled through the vari-
Gus Local Boards and withheld from
those who refuse to work on account
of having this donation from the
Government. The farmers and homes
in South Carolina are feeling the ef-
feets of the independence of those
who are sharing in this. bounty. Il
do not believe in deprivations or in
justice, but I do believe that the
"Work OF Fight" system should ap-
ply to every able bodied man and
woman in America today.-Adv.

LETTER ROM FRANCE
Iiss Ruby McLain,

Iiss Ruby McLain,
My Dear Ruby
1t is with sad heart that ! at
tempt IT, write you. | have written
you several times and have not had
an answer. | think you have for
gotten me. Anyway, ] hope not.
l am on the firing line now and
have been in two big drives already.
We haven't lost very many of our
men. | am proud of the fact that
we have been victorious In the first
drive we captured thirteen thousand
prisoners and in the second drive we
captured twelve thousand prisoners
| guess if nothing serious happens to
me | will be in several more drives
before it is all over
You asked me how | liked the Old
Country. Well, | hardly know wheth-
err | like it or not. In some ways it
is fine, but it rains so much over here
and we have so much mud. We can't
get around with our big guns as well
as we could. / can hear one of the
Dig guns tonight; the shells are flying
all around me so that / can hardly
write you. If they don't get me
will finish this letter anyway You
can imagine about how / look sitting
on the ground writing with my tab
let on my knee. It is very difficult
70 write a letter over here as every
one has to be censored You can
write anything you like as they do
not read yours. They only read the
ones going out. This makes is so
much easier for you.
You asked if | ever saw Roy Kel-
Ter. No, haven't seen him for some
time.
II, as ! don't know anything else
to write, will close.
With very best wishes, ! am,
Sincerely
CHARLES BROWN.

TROY c. vANN

After an illness of less than one
week, Mr.. Troy C. Vann died at the
Greeneville hospital this Saturday
morning at 6 o'clock, as the result of
an attack of appendicitis, for which
he was operated upon on last Sun
day afternoon. While it was known
that Mr.. Vann's condition was quite
serious at the time the operation was
performed, the fact that he had pass
ed what was thought to have been
the critical period after the operation
had given his family and friends re-
newed hopes for his recovery. A
change for the worse came Thursday
about noon, and he grew steadily
worse until death relieved him of his
sufferings. Mr.. Vann was 46 years
of age He is survived by his wife
and one adopted son, his aged moth
er and several brothers and sisters,
the majority of whom reside in North
Carolina, his old home. He had
been resident of Greeneville about
fifteen years. During these many
years he has been engaged in the
mercantile business, the last few
years associated with his brother, Mr..
F. A. Vann, under the firm name of
Vann Bros. He made friends east
ly. People soon learned that he was
kind, accommodating upright and
honest in all his dealings, and as a
result had built up a most substan-
tial business. He was public spirit
ed and could always be counted upon
to assist in any movement looking to
the upbuilding or welfare of the town
and community. That he will be
greatly missed goes without saying.
News of his death will be received
with sadness by his friends through
out this section.
Funeral arrangements have not
been announced further than services
will be conducted from the home
either Sunday or Monday afternoon.
Relatives from North Carolina are
expected to arrive Sunday for the fu-
neral and on this account the funer-
al will doubtless not take place until
Monday. The Jr 0. U. A. M. will
have charge of the funeral services
at the grave.
