I'd response from Newberry AUDI
31t2.
r!hen Mr.. Aiken had concluded, Mr
Fit S. Blease arose and addressed
tha audience. Mr.. Blease stated that
t',o meeting then was not an official
~~oe|ing. and any one had as mucn
right to speak as Mr.. Aiken had; that
he did not come there to make
speech. that he did not propose to-
even attempt a defense Of Mr.. Domi-
nick from the scurrilious charges CT
Mr.. Aiken, for the congressman could
and would defend himself at the prom
or time and place, if any defense was
necessary before Newberry people.
But said Mr.. Blease, in substance; 1
have been acting in a way as county
chairman of this county during the
absence of my brother who was away
in a sanitarium. 1 happen to know
good deal about the facts as to the
arrangement for the congressional
campaign meetings, and Mr.. Aiken's
statement that he had been "handed
a rotten deal" by few little fellows
at Greenwood was a reflection upon
the county chairmen who had done
their duty, and in slight way a re-
Election upon himself. He then stated
under the law that DO candidate had
the right to speak at senatorial
campaign meeting except candidates
for the senate, and explained how the
congressional campaign meetings, un-
der the law, were to be arranged; that
tne State Chairman had authorized
County Chairman Nicholson of Green
wood county to call a meeting of the
county chairmen Of the counties Of
this district to arrange an itinerary
for Messrs. Aiken and Dominick, and
this had been done, and said Mr.
Blease, ''this very day Fred Domi-
nick is at :Pickens where he was told
to go, but Aiken is here" Mr.. Blease
announced that the :. tttee had
90 iET' day cf this week for Aiken and
nominick to speak at Newberry, and
concluded his statement by saying,
Congressman Dominick will be here.
A
vited to be present"
If Aiken wants to make the charges
against Dominick that he made here
he should go on the stump and stand
on Dominick's toes and make them
face to face. That is the manly thing
to do.

Dear Florence and Jennie
It's been long time since you have
heard from me, but I guess it has
been my own fault, for I haven't been
in a writing mood. Haven't as yet
received any letters from home. On
account of our moving here and here
they have a time getting our mail to
U.S.
When I first landed here we took
q long train ride and saw. some
wonderful land scenes. Beautiful
scenes and fine roads are something
France can boast of. At present it is
very hot and reminds me of the
weather in South Carolina. The only
exception it is cool here in the morn
ing and that's something rare in
South Carolina on July morning.
Wish had been home to celebrate
the fourth. On that day we visited
little city. I believe the French pee
ple observed our 4th with as much
patriotism as they did their own In
dependence day. 1t was good to sec
the Stars and Stripes flying every
where.
Hope that ali of you are well. AS
farAaslF am concerned I'm doing fine,
Tell rno.her that the boy she used to
fry scrambled eggs every morning for
breakfast doesn't get them here, but
he gets plenty to eat and plenty Of
sleep. We occasionally have hard
drills, but that only goes to make us
enjoy a bath that much more. AS I
have said, we get plenty to eat and
plenty of rest and some travelling.
Wherever we go we always find Y.
M. C. A. where we can go to rest and
amuse ourselves.
l sent a few prints to some friends
of Lieut. Booxbaums at Tenafly, N. Y,
to look at and will ask them to send
them to you so I will be sure that
they are safe. They sent me a very
kind invitation to visit them, but it
happened that I had to leave the next
day.
How's my Oakland Six running
now? These roads here make me
wish for it lot of times and as the
Oakland is noted for hill climbing
I wouldn't mind some of the steep hills
they have here.
7 forgot to mention that am with
the original company now and hope
that I can always stay with the same
regiment. There are a nuu'ber Of
companies in this regiment and every
man thinks his company is the best.
hnt taking nv officers in consider
alton, I'd rather be in this company
than any other in France.
As I have little time left I must
devote that to the ''Girl of my Heart"
so will close. with
Love to all,
Your brother,

More Cars in Operation on Brattleboro

great deal from week to week Yes
terday, according to observers who
live on thoroughfares about town, more
machines We're seen in operation than
on any Sunday since the ban of gas

this condition came about as the re-
suit Of q misunderstanding, or there
were q great many more Unnecessary
errands than usual to be done, or
the patriotism Of the drivers had evap-
GRATED there is no way Of telling, but
the fact remains that the local oh

per cent perfect. In addition to the
ears seen on tho roads yesterday a
number were heard on the roads after
dark, indicating possibly that there
are folks who figure that it is all
right TO burn gasoline which Uncle
Sam asks not be burned provided it IS
done by starlight.
