TO co TO WEST POINT.

Washington. Oct. 19.-The follow
ing appointments have been made to
West Point by Congressman Fred
Dominick from the Third Congress
sional District: Principal, Rufus
Gamewell Gaines, Jr., of Central,
Pichens County; first alternate, j.
B. Cooney of Anderson; principal, l..
J. Stewart of Easley; first alternate,
R. E. Seymour of Greenwood.
Mr.. Dominick today announced
that he had just appointed W. F.
Blackburn, formerly of Columbia,
but now of Newberry, as his secre-
tary.
Through the efforts of Mr.. Domi-
nick, Capt. R. D. Henderson of South
Carolina, who last year resigned his
commission, has been reinstated in
the service. He formerly belonged to
Company X.
Although Mr.. Dominick has been
suffering from a cold recently, it has
not kept him from his usual duties,
and at no time has he been seriously
i'll. Press reports had him down
with influenza. He has now entirely
recovered.

ENJOYING HOSPITALITY.
Soldiers from South Carolina al

Soldiers from South Carolina are
enjoying the hospitality of soldiers
clubs in cities all over the country,
and no matter to what camp they are
sent they will find the War Camp
Community Service at work in each
municipality stimulating and provid.
ing clubs, entertainments, home hos
pitality and friends for them when
they leave camp and 60 to town on
a Saturday afternoon or Sunday.
In the same way, soldiers from ev.
cry corner of the United States are
enjoying the hospitality Of South
Carolinians in our camp cities.
The result of this War Camp Com
munity Service is not only to keep
up the spirits of the boys away from
home, keeping them clean mentally
and physically, but it is introducing
them to each other, soldiers and citi.
zens from all parts of the country.
It is not the paid workers of the
War Camp Community Service who
have the biggest part in this work,
but the volunteer workers of all the
organizations, and the citizens in the
camp cities. The War Camp Com
munity Service consists not in the
work of one organization alone but
the community.

SULPHUR IN SHOES WILL
CHECK FLU, SAYS PHYSICIAN

Put a small amount of sulphur in
each shoe every morning and good
bye influenza.
This is the remedy offered to the
people of Atlanta by Georgia doc
tor who has been practicing in Dixie
for forty years and who went thru
the yellow fever epidemic in New
Orleans in 1897 unscathed.
His account of the successful trials
of this remedy follows:
s'In the early eighties I moved to
Louisiana to practice medicine, and
remained in the town where I first
located for nearly twenty yeass. The
town in which I located was in the
southwestern portion of the state and
had large sugar and lumber indus
tries, therefore I met many travelling
men, and one in particular I remem-
ber from Memphis, Tenn, who told
me one evening that he had nursed
yellow fever and cholera in all it's
stages, had assisted in burying the
dead, and that the only precaution
he ever took was to sprinkle sulphur
in his shoes every morning during the
epidemic and that he had never con-
tracted the disease, furthermore, ev-
cry one he told about it and who
tried it, not single one had had the
disease.
' 'In 1897 we had an epidemic of
yellow fever, and remembering what
this gentleman had told me I tried
it, notwithstanding I had very little
confidence in it. I shall never regret
having tried it, for escaped the fe b
er, although I nursed it in all it's
stages during the entire epidemic.
ow what has this to do with influ-
enza? 1t has the same to do with it
and cholera-kill the germ. I believe
when the system is thoroughly satur-
ated with the sulphur, as suggested,
it will prevent the germs of any dis
ease from attacking the system.
There is no doubt that sulphur will
penetrate the system readily, for
when one takes sulphur in the sys-
tenn and has a silver dollar in his
pocket, it will be turned black, caus-
ed by the sulpheretted hydrogen. Try
it and see. Now it would be very
little trouble to have the boys in the
ca,-.ps carry out this suggestion and
thus break up the disease which is
causing so much suffering and a
great many deaths. ."-Ex.

AMERICANS TAKE MASS OF
HUNS SECRET PAPERS; MAP
REVEALS ST. MIHIEL TRAPS
- :.

With the American Army, Sept.
28.-Almost as important as the
prisoners captured in the st. Mihiel
salient was the mass Of secret and
confidential documents that fell to
the hands Of the Americans.
Thiaucourt was used by the Ger
mans as the advance echelon head
quarters of General Won Fuchs army
detachment C, which held the salient.
In the German intelligence de-
partment there, as well as at Wig
neulles, hundreds of sacks of papers
were obtained.
The most helpful article that the
Americans found was a finely drawn
map of the whole salient marking
in detail every spot where a mine
or trap had been placed. The infor-
nation was turned over Immediately
to the engineers, who proceeded to
destroy the Internal machines.
Each bridge that had a time bomb
secreated somewhere and every dug
out in which hidden wires had been
placed to cause an explosion was
plainly marked, with the nature of
the Internal machine placed there.
Places where houses had been mined
and where tank traps had been dug
were shown on the map.
The information was not obtained
in time to be of much use to the
tanks, although it did aid them in
disclosing traps between the Ameri-
can line of consolidation and the
Hindenburg line. The tank drivers
showed an uncanny aptitude in scent
ing traps. I motored up the road
from Roguieville to Thiaucourt and
could plainly make out the trail of
the tanks, their caterpillar marking
the route unmistakably.
Every once in a while the scene
showed that the tanks had swerved
off the road for a piece, traversing
the fields, and there, sure enough in
the road, the fresh earth showed a
large hole had been recently filled in.
l saw a squad of doughboys filling
in one of these traps. The boches
had excavated a hole the width of
the road and 40 feet long. They
then erected a lath framework of
the thinnest timbers and placed over
it a covering of earth and a few
stones to make it look natural. The
framework would scarcely bear the
weight of wheelbarrow and tank
falling into the trap would have been
hopelessly out of action.
Secret maps found in German dug
outs proved how accurate the Ameri-
can observation and observation
posts had been. Every machine gun
emplacement and battery position
on the enemy document conceded
with those on the American maps of
the enemy positions.
Several thousand unmailed letters
from German and Austrian soldiers
to their families were seized. In
many cases these letters had not yet
been censored by the enemy officers
and they contained much valuable
information.
The letters indicated the low mo-
rale of the enemy troops, not by their
mere complaints and lack of suffi-
cient rations and heavy lombard
ments to which they were continu-
ally exposed, but in observation con-
cerning the course of the war and
the American aid-as the Germans
in the trenches are not fooled by
Ludendorff's communiques about the
unimportance of the efforts of the
United States.
