A Memory of Mrs. Manly

On Friday evening, June 81, 1918,
The death angel saw fit to take from
our midst our dear loved one, Lille
Ransom QUITS, the only child OF Mr..
and Mrs. N. L. Ransom. She was Ill
only three days.
Lille was a sweet and attractive
girl, loved by everyone who knew
her The ways of God are often mys-
FERROUS and hard to be borne but we
should be submissive to his will,
knowing that God doeth all things
well. How thoughtful we should feel
by the life that Lille led that she is
now among millions of angels sur
rounding the great white throne of
God.
"a precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in u homes
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon her love had given.
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in heaven"
It was hard to give Lille up. She
was so pure and sweet. But we think
she is one more angel that will be
waiting, her loved ones to greet.
A cousin.

Editor of The Advertiser:

Editor of The Advertiser:
Please give me a little space in
your worthy paper I want to have
a heart to heart talk with the boys
of old Edgefield. I want to let them
know that 1 am seventy years young
but am still wearing knee pants.
Now, boy, listen. l want you to
vote for your home candidate for
congress, George Evans. He is just
as able and loyal and patriotic as
any other man in the race What's
the use to run off down to Aiken to
find a mar to vote for when Edge
field county's own son is asking for
your suffrage. By all means stand
by your home candidate and keep
your conscience clear. George Evans
is a worthy son of a brave and illus,
trious father who gave his life for
the Southern cause. We are due him
a debt of gratitude. Now boys, let
US pay this debt by voting for his
son. On the other side he is a nephew
of the lamented Mart. Gary, a brave
and knightly Confederate general
who never surrendered and was
known all over the State as the Bald
Eagle of Edgefield and as the hero
of Seventy-six, a man who did more
to put down Carpet Begging and ne
gro rule in South Carolina than any
other one man in the State. Now here
is another debt of gratitude that has
J never been paid. Let US all get togeth-
er right now and pay this debt by
voting for his nephew, George Evans,
for congress. If you have any preju-
dice whatsoever, lay it aside and vote
for your home candidate.
! Now, Mr.. Editor, I am for voting
Just as I am about spending my mon
ey. I always believe in living at home
and boarding at the same place and
buying evrything I need from Edge
field merchants. All of them are the
best men in the world and I dearly
love them all for their many kind
nesses. Let all of US carry this same
principle in our voting and we will
do the right thing.
you go to the polls don't you forget
Now just one more appeal. When
julie Minis. We all owe him a debt
too. AS we go along let us pay that
too. With best wishes for everybody
in Edgefield county 1 remain,
Your humble scribe.

The President Defends Byrnes Against
the Attacks of His Opponents.
Expresses Absolute Confidence in His Loyalty to the
Administration. Says Byrnes is One OF the
Strongest and Most Dependable Men
in the House.

Because of embarrassment the President has suffered by reason OF
letters written to South Carolina during this campaign the President
some time ago announced in a letter to Mr. L. I. Jennings that be would
not interfere in local party contests. However, the attacks made upon
Congressman Byrnes by his opponents have given such genuine regret to
the President that he has sent a message to the voters of the Second Dis
tict through Congressman Glass of Virginia. Mr.. Glass is the chair
man of the Banking and Currency Committee of the House. He is the
author of the Federal Reserve Bank Act, and also of the Federal Farm
Loan Act. Mr.. Glass is also the secretary of the National Democratic
committee and is regarded as the mouthpiece of the President In Con
gress. His letter was read by Congressman Byrnes at the campaign
meeting in Aiken, and is as follows:
House Of Representatives,
Committee on Banking and Currency,
Washington, July 80, 1918.
Hon. James f. ByrneS,
Aiken, s. c.
My Dear Byrnes:
/ had occasion to go to the White House to-day, and in conversation.
with the President 1 mentioned the fact that you w@s being assaled as
dHloyal to the administration. l suggested that it might not be inappro-
pirate, in the circumstances, to requite your devotion by writing a letter
in commentator of your course. His reply was: that if he could do this
for you, and stop right there, it would give him genuine pleasure to at
test, in that way, your loyalty; but the difficulty, he said, arises from
the fact that he has scores of such requests in behalf of other members.
compliance with which would involve him unpeasanuy in local party
contests al! over the country.
The President genuinely regrets that you ae being bothered by
criticisms of diIoyalty, and expressly charged me to tell you o. tie
does not doubt your fidelity for an instant. He stated to me to-day that
while he disagreed with the Judgment of those Congressman who voted
for the volunteer section, he never for a moment thought them less loyal
than those of us who voted against it. The President highly regards
YOU IS one of the strongest and most dependable men in the House
'Byrnes is a splendid fellow is the exact expression he used in talking
to m about you to-day.
Sincerely yours,

Letter From James Freeman
Corley to His Sister.
u. S. S. Mount Vernon,
New York CITY.

Dear Lottie:
Your letters received a few days
ago and I can't express to you how
glad 1 was to hear from you all. So
glad that you all are we'll. 1 am feel
ing fine. My health is good and I am
thankful for that. I have gained 80
pounds since I have been in the navy.
Well, I am stationed in Boston,
Mass. for a while and then back to
New York. 1 was in France a good.
little while. 1 like over there fine but
hope I will not have to stay that long
any more. Still I have some mighty
good friends over there. That is the
only reason that l hated to leave.
I have had some good times and
some hard times, too, but that is all
through life just the same. l never
did think. 1 would have the heart to
jump in the sea but on the 22nd of
May l went in like a man, and didn't
mind it at all. When I got in the life
boat with nothing but a suit of un-
der clothes on, I was happy as a
hooking bird in May and now I don't
feel like anything has happened. Tell
George that l was so happy that I be-
lieve l could have beat him whistling
that little tune he used to whistle in
the spring while blowing his old gray
horse.
Oh! We had a grand time July
4th. We went to a French concert.
They had three fourths of July. The
French sailors and soldiers, the Am
orleans and English were all together.
Tell Albert l received the package
he sent me all right and certainly
did appreciate it.
,, Well, how are the crops? I hope
they are good.
Lottie, I can hardly realize that
it is July. I am sleeping under blank
cts and don't feel the least bit too
warm.
One day while l was over there it
happened that l saw dear old Jasper
Corley. 1 don't think / ever was as
glad to see anyone in my life az l
was to see him. We were together
about three hours and it seemed like
only a half. He was stationed about
six miles from me so we could see
each other every Sunday as long as
1 was over there.
L am on one OF the finest and larg-
est ships we have. We can make a
trip in sixteen days.
Lottie, I could have come home for
80 days but decided to wait until
nearer Xmas. Tell Robert to take
good care of my horse and colt for
me and l will bring him something
when I come.
1 guess l had better close for this
time as l haven't any news You all
must look over all mistakes for we
are not responsible for them. But,
believe me, we surely r careful
with what Uncle Sam wants us to do.
We are going to do it right. Give all
my friends my best regards, with
love to you all, I am
Your loving brother,
James Freeman Corley.

w. L. Bryan Writes Interest
ing Letter to His Mother.
Dearest Mother:

ing Letter to His Mother.
Dearest Mother:
Your sweet welcome letter receiv-
ed and was so glad to hear from you.
This leaves me in the best of health
and the best of heart. I do trust this
will find you all the same.
Mama, 1 have written you twice
and I suppose you have gotten these
letters by this time. | hope you have.
I have written to Budd, Ethel and
Marie and 1 guess they have receiv-
ed them. My address is Co. B., 11S
Infantry, American ENpeditionary
Forces, via New York. You may think
it strange for me to put my address
in the body of my letter but that is
the way 1 will have to put it.
I was lucky to make my trip safely
as I did, wasn't l? I am sure I will
go all the way through safely. Ma
ma, don't worry about me for a mo-
ment for l am going to eat Xmas
dinner with you all. l surely did
stand the trip fine. I was never sick,
the weather was beautiful, and the
sea was calm except for three days.
/ certainly saw some beautiful scenes
through England.
l never saw the like of cattle in
all the days of my life. The people
in England don't seem to raise any
thing but cattle and grain. Most of
England is mountainous. The fences
are built of rock.
The climate of France is very cold,
much colder than at home. Grain is
all that the people raise here. France
is a beautiful place but it is a hun
dred year behind Old Carolina. You
see only carts whose wheels are as
large as wagon wheels.
The girls are beauties but I have
MT learned to speak French yet. l
will catch me a girl when l do learn
to speak their language. I am too far
from home not to have a girl. No,
Ruth is the only girl l care for. l
had a letter from Ruth and her sis
ter today.
When it is night at home it is day
here. 1t is now shutdown here so 1t
is about ten o'clock in the day at
home. That sounds funny, doesn't it?
I haven't seer a wooden building
since I landed. All of the houses are
built of brick or stone. There are
many beautiful churches. All l have
seen are Catholic. All of the people
seem to be Catholics. / have been IN
a good many churches but l went IN
n a few days ago 1 thought was
one of the prettiest l ever saw. 1t
was built of stone altogether. 1t was
certainly beautiful.
You said Grandmother was with
YOU all. I would surely like to see
her. Give her my love and kiss her
many times for me. You also said
Budd and Ethel and Marie spent the
day with you Sunday. l am so glad
to know they are we'll.
Well, I will certainly have to hus-
tie when I get home and that won't
be long so don't you all worry about
me for 1 am going to look out for
old Will and the best of all, the Lord
is with your boy. l have prayed Tor
him to carry me through safely and
I am sure he has heard my prayer,
l will have to close. Write as Of
ten as you can and I will do the same.
If you don't hear from me often don't
be uneasy for it takes some time to
get mail across the water. Much love
and many kisses for you and kiss
Ruth many times for me when you
see her.
Your devoted son,
W. L. Bryan.
