CHILDREN'S DAY.
Large Attendance at Rehoboth
Children's Day Exercises
and Service Flag Pre-
sentation.


both church when the children's day
was observed by the Sunday School
in the morning and Service Flag
raising in the afternoon.
The children were trained by Miss
es Maggie Winn, Martha Strom and
Mrs. Berta Seigler who presided
at the organ. Mr.. j. D. Hughey, the
faithful and efficient superintendent
of the Sunday School, presided over
the exercises, and announced the
parts of the children as they came.
There were dozens of lovely little
girls and handsome boys. who did
their parts wonderfully. The first fea-
ture of the programme was flag
drill, each child carrying "Old Glory"
which was inspiring. The choir had
also selected the very loveliest
songs and sang with great enthusi-
asm, everything carrying the patri-
otic spirit.
The decorations were flags and
welcomes, all artistically arranged in
the colors, red, white and blue with
stars.
At the recess hour dinner was serv
ed on the grounds under the shade
of the beautiful trees, and here, sur
rounded by so many kind friends, and
often speaking of those who were abb
sent, an hour was proftably spent.
At the afternoon service, music
was enjoyed by the congregation and
the pantonine carried into effect by
Miss Catherine Moultrie draped in
"Old Glory" was very inspiring. I'm
mediately after this two little girls,
Mary Luda Hughey and Ruth Wash,
came in bearing the two flags, cne
1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner and the
other service flag, one wrapped in
the folds of the other. Mary Luda
unfurled our country's flag, and Ruth
| followed with the service flag, pre-
sented by the Woman's Mission So
ciety of Rehoboths churchsq on which
were five stars representing the boys
who have enlisted in their country's
service from that church. The flag
was presented in lovely poem by
Ruth Wash and received by Mr.. j. D.
Hughey in a similar manner, giving
an appropriate poem, after which
Mr.. Hughey hung the two flags, one
on each side of the pulpit. These
flags were purchased of MIR. Clarence
Langley of Columbia and were all
wool bunting, the same design as
those in the Edgefeld churches.
A duet was then sung by the hand
some little sons of Rev. and Mrs.
Kesterson, pastor of the church. Rev.
Mr.. Kesterson, on request, then made
very instructive address on the
causes Of the war and referred most
kindly to the patriotism of the wo-
men Of our country and especially
those of his own flock in having this
thoughtful attention paid the soldier
boys.
The last thing on the programme
was the singing of the Star-Spangled
Banner by the congregation.
The five young soldiers who are
represented on the service fay by
the five blue stars are as follows:
James w. Perrin, Fort Moultrie;
j. Preston Strom, Fort Moultrie; JOS
eph Earl Wash, Fortress Monroe, Va.
C. Rudolph Strom, Naval Hospital,
Virginia. Calvin Sheppard Seigler,

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE.
William C. Byrd, Splendid
Edgefeld Boy, Writes Inter-
esting Letter to His
Mother.

My dearest Mother:
While I have little time l am
going to write you a few lines. L am
all right this morning. have just
received a letter from you that was
written May 8. I certainly was glad
to hear from you. I also received sew
eral other letters from home folks.
You see if a fellow can get letter
from home now and then he doesn't
get home sick.
When I first landed thought this
country and have seen some awtui
dav and I have been walking over the
cuontry and have seen some awful
hills. France doesn't look at all like
America to me. I see but very little
corn and cotton planted. They raise
mostly grain and cattle. see so ma
nv pretty COWS, the finest milk cows
ever saw.
| can't understand anything the
people say here and it is the same
way with them by US. 1t is rather
cool over here. 1t isn't as warm as at
home and the sun doesn't shine very
much. 1t looks like rain today but l
hope it won't as we do not need wet
e.. o,,,- 1Irorly
Walter and I are still together. He
l. is well. The boys who are with. me
are very nice to each other. We feel
like brothers almost. Hessie Griftls
came up to see Walter and me today
and we are going down to his beau
tiful home Sunday if nothing pre-
vents.
would like to have J. B. Reel and
Scurry with me. l heard that Jake
had fallen off about 1S pounds. l
guess he believes what told him. 1t
! is not like travelling around smok--.
ing good cigars. Vi
The nights are very short over here
and we go to bed at first dark. We
have no lights SOL haven't done do le.
| any night work since 1 have been
here. In fact I don't work as 'hard as
used to, though believe I have
learned mere.
I went out with a crowd of boys
last night and had very good time.
Every thing is very expensive here.
We went into cafe as we came
back, to buy some eggs and we had
to pay S1.OO per dozen. Some price
for hen fruit, don't you think? We
get plenty to eat though. Don't wor-
ry about that because we are faring
all right
saw something Sunday that re-
minded me of what l used to hear
Uucle George Dorm and Uncle Nick
Grifis talk about. I know you can
guess what it is. It is hard thing to
face these things but | believe |
have got the nerve to stay on the JOB
as long as the rest. There is no use
to worry about such things, Mother.
Do your best and take what follows.
Don't worry about me for l feel that
| will come home in a short time.
Well, this is about all the news
can tell you. 1 am expecting to get
some mail from home this week. Tell
everybody to write me. am always
glad to hear from old South Carolina.
1 would like to write to all my friends
but l Just haven't time. will write
to you again soon. Mama, don't wor-
ry about me for will be home some
old sweet day.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, May 7.-Industrials dominated todays active stock market almost to the exclusion of all other is sues. Enthusiasm engendered by the outcome of the Liberty campaign was again the paramount influence.
 United States Steel got into its stride at the start and before the end of the session recorded an extreme ad- vance of 3A points to 10SA on sales of about 30O,000 shares.
 Kindred industrials, like Bethlehem Steel "A" and B" were ?. to 3A higher following declaration of the regular dividends.
 Coppers awakened from their long torpor at gains of l to points, oils advancing to points, and motors and sundry specialties were 1 to 3 points higher
 Rails were scarcely more than steady The final hour, when Reading and other coalers, together with Union and Southern Pacific, were rushed forward at net advances of l to 112 points. Sales amounted to 92000O shares.
 Call money lacked the ease which was expected to result from the end of the Liberty drive most loans being made at to per cent.
 Bonds were firm, except Liberty is- sues, which displayed slight irregular ity. Sales, par value, aggregated s4,- 925,000. United States bonds, old is- | sues, were unchanged on call.

ELECTRICITY, COAL
 AND WATER POWER
Electrical Worldl

Of the 650,000,000 tons of coal which will be mined this year only per cent represents the entire electric central station requirements of the country, the greater part of the electrical ener- gy now used being generated in hydro electric stations. By utilizing water power the central station industry con- serves natures resources, releases millions of tons of coal, the cars nec- eccary to transport it and the labor re- quired to mine it, while the coal it con- sumes, as the Fuel Administrator him. self has graciously allowed, is burned most economically.
 In view of the wide publicity given to sign lighting orders, which indirect ly involve the electric lighting industry, it is well that these facts be constantly borne in mind. Fuel saving, however slight, is vitally necessary in the pres ent world crisis, but we suggest that as matter of self-interest any striv- ing for psychological effect be definite ly labelled as such. From the usual tone of press reports the general pub lie is led to believe that the central station industry is most profligate in the use of coal, whereas just the op- posite is true. There is nothing in the entire engineering history of the in dustry which even in the present emer- gency warrants anything but praise.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, May 7.-Excellent field conditions tended today to put corn prices on the down grade. As result the market closed unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to 1Ac low CT with May, s1.27ss and July s1.46B to SLACK. Oats declined 5s to 1%c net. In provisions the outcome ranged from a setback of 12 to Sc advance.
 Breaks in the value of corn began at the opening of business and despite numerous small rallies, continued to recur throughout the session.
 Oats gave way with corn and as a result of the bearish crop outlook.
 Provisions averaged lower in conse- quence of grain weakness. Close:
 Corn: May, s1.273sc; July, s1.361sc
 Oats: May, 72Bc; July, 66%c.
 Pork: May, s45.50; July, s45.90. Lard: May, $25.25; July s25.62.
