Dear Editor:
am glad that | am a Jackson
county boy in the service of my
country, and have this opportun-
ity to write to the Sentinel and
tell my friends something about
camp life as ! have seen it.
Camp life isn't as blue with
with me as it has been. We have
been in quarintene all but two
days since we arrived here. The
vaccination treated us ruff, and
several boys are in the hospital.
Ike Savage has been there all
but two days. | had a letter
from him today and he is better.
There are several other Jack
son boys here in the barracks
with me. | understand We are
to move to another barrack to-
morrow about one mile from
here, but the same address
believe.
NY chum here is Eugene
Chaffin. | never know him until
we net on the train coming done
here. He lives on Gainesboro
RI, and is a true christian boy.
We have some here that don't
care for anything. We should
read and do that which is right
and work for the Lord. The
time will come when it will be
too late, the gate will be closed
and many will be shut out in the
dark.
| have just received two letters
from friends in Jackson county,
and they filled my heart with
Joy and gladness. One was from
Luther Mayton who has been in
the army and knows something
about it. The other letter wa:
from Oracle Hall. You don't
know how good | feel when | re.
ceive such excellent letters.
There are two things | am GLAD

the army. There are the kitcher
and cooking. | am now one Of

is one of the many things that is
being done through the Y. M. c.
A. This alone speaks volumns
for that organization.
You see each man ia provided
with a book, pencil and tablet.
however it is different from 9TH
er school work for you are teach
ing men and not children.
Well | am glad Jackson county
is to have the Chautauqua again.
for our people naturally need
some recreation from the hun
drum activities of everyday life.
and the educational advantages
of the Chautauqua are to be CON-
mended.
1t naturally goes without say
ing that we would all rather be
at home, but when we realize
that these homes that we love
are not secure until the Hun has
been brought into subjection, we
are not anxious to return until
victory is ours. Then let us all IS
a free people fight on until we
can stand shoulder to shoulder in
the ranks not of war but of peace.
Thanking you for your indulg-
ence.
/ am most sincerely, -
Joe C. Tinsley.

Jackson Co. Sentinel:
| have just finished reading
the last issue of the Sentinel and
it made me feel almost like | was
at home. | noticed with inter-
est what Jackson county did in
the last Red Cross drive and you
know it is great encouragement
to the boys in service when they
realize that the people back home
are doing their part. So | be-
lieve that Jackson county people
behind the lines deserve a SER
vice flag for what they are doing
and will continue to do in this
crisis.
came to Camp Greenleaf
from Camp Jackson the first OF
this month. This camp is situat.
ed in Chichamauga Park, and the
scenery around camp is simply
grand. 1t is just about eight
miles from Chattanooga. Tenn.
so it naturally appeals to a Ten.
nessean.
have been helping to instruct
the boys that can't read anG
write and you would be surprised
at the vast numbers who are
lacking in this respect. but
Uncle Sam has provided for this,
so these boys in a few weeks viii
be writing home. Don't you
know it will make some mother
feel good when she receives
letter from her boy in his owl
handwriting. who heretofore
could not write his name. Thil

| After we serve for a certain time
we will receive special instruct
ion in cooking, after which We
will be classed as first and Sc
cond cooks and receive better
pay. We cooks only drill forty
five minutes twice a week and We
are off every other day. One
bunch of boys work one day an.
other bunch the next dyy.
| do not like to be away from
my dear.home, but feel that Goo
will bless me, that | may return
TO my dear wife that | left be-
hind. This isa separation that
we can t help, and you boys that
have a father, mother or wife,
that you can stay, | ask you to
live a happy christian life. that
when you seperate, if it should be
forever you will be prepared to
meet in a better world than this.
We all make mistakes, but they
can be corrected. i have neglect
ed to read my bible and consci-
ence tells me that ! should have
done this.
would like to hear from my
friends in Big Bottom, Whitley
vile, Hurricane, Meagsville and
Gainesboro.
You boys in Jackson county
who expect to be called to the
army should learn how to wash,
sweep, and do kitchen work. 1t
will be of benefit to you in camp.
Before closing ! desire to thank
the good people of Gainesboro,
and especially the Red Cross, for
the kindness shown us at our de-
parture. May we all meet again
when peace comes to the world.
would be glad if Nit Lovelady
would send me Jordan's address.
We were separated after arriving
here and don't know his company's
number. would be glad to hear
from him and other boys | know

children demanded shoes.
They forgot that they had en-
dured agonies of fear and hor-
ror, they forgot tho roar of the
shells in the village streets. They
forgot the hunger and thirst and
the deadly WEAKNESS of the
flight: Their little stomachs
were full, they were warm and
safe, and they had new stockings
and new shoes on their feet.
They had more Tor when my
part was done other women took
them in hand and gave them

shiny black pinafores which

heard their lisping words of graf
itude, felt their warm little hand

generous givers, YOU would have
been repaid thousand, thousand
times for your gift to the Red
Cross.
Because the French rarely have
large families, it must not be
thought that they do not value
children. They adore children,
as matter of fact, and their
gratitude to the Red Cross for
what was done for children dur.
ing those days of flight and an
guish was pathetic to see and
hear.
Women came into the base
ment of the Care du Nord in a
condition of half nudity. When
the storm burst they gathered up
their babies, took what they
could carry of household goods
and treasures and simply fled.
Much of what they carried was
lost by the wayside. Their clothes
were rags. Some of the rags
were taken off by the mothers
that the children might be kept
alive, for the weather was cold
and rainy. But when these poor
women came into the Red Cross
room their first thought was al
ways for their babies.
"You have need of shoes your
self, madame" said TO more
than one. She always answered
"Yes, but lie petit first

March q, and here for days and
nihhts, terrible days, sinister
nights, a stream of refugees
from the inveded districts poured
in and out, coming by train from
Scissors, Complegue, Montdidier
Albert, and from dozens of little
villages and farms between Laon
and Amiens.
The Red Cross fed and clothed
and refreshed these refugees in
that basement, loaded them on
big moter trucks and took them
across the city to the Orleans or
the Quai pOrsay stations and
saw them off to the sheltered
south.

Hello! Jackson county boys,
there are lots of pretty girls
here, but not like those at home.
Cheer up boys and take good
care of the girls. Wish could
be with you all, but we are in
the army now and they need US
more than we are needed at

boys will do our part.
If Arkansas was a mule Camp

since no furloughs have been
granted to anyone yet. At any
rate, we shall be in the states no
less than two months, and feel
sure III get down there before
the time is up.
The trip over was very rough.
A big storm started the third
day out and lasted until within
three days of Brest. We lost
nearly all of the life boats when
the heavy seas slammed the old
ship. Never saw such a time in
my life. We left with thirty
other ships, but the storm blew
them all over the Atlantic, and
for ten days we were alone in
the sea with our wireless busted
until a British cruiser ran across
us and set us on the right road
again.
Two days out from Brest,
while in the Bay Of Biscay, we
were attacked by three submar-
ines. The conveying destroyers
which had just met us got one of
them but the other two got
away after sinking the guide
shipi a Britisher. We didn't get
get to fire a shot. because we
were right in the middle of the
fleet and destroyers were buzz
zing all around us. some of them
around forty miles an hour. Be-
lieve me. those Germans have a
wholesome respect for our torpe-
do boats.
We landed at Brest, France,
March II, having left Newport
News on Feb. q. Stayed one
day in Brest, then down the
coast to Bordeaux. staying one
day at La Palace, and one at
Belle Isle. At the last place had
engine trouble and drifted in the
sea about twenty-four hours. but
nothing happened. A few hours
after we left, however. an Amer
lean convoy of troop ships was
attacked by seven subs. They
got three of the subs without
damage to themselves and ran
the others away.
We landed at Pauillac. at the
mouth of the Garonne river. on

month discharging cargo. Then

THE WORK OF A MOB


Walter f. White says in the Sep
tember Crisis:
The recent strong letter Of Presi-
dent Wilson on lynching was un-
doubtedly called forth by representa-
tions from colored people following
the lynchings in Brooks and Lowndes
Counties, Ga, May II to ID
Hampton Smith, white farmer,
was killed, and newspaper dispatches
report six persons as having been
lynched for completely Investigation
shows that at least eleven persons
were killed.
At the time she was lynehed, Mary
Turner was in her eighth month Of
pregnancy. The delicate state of her
health, one month or less previous to
delivery, may be imagined, but this
fact had no effect on the tender feel
ings of the mob. Her ankles were
tied together and she was hung to the
tree, head downward. Gasoline and
oil from automobiles were thrown ON
her clothing and while she writhed in
agony and the mob howled in glee,
q match was applied and her clothes
burned from her person.
When this had been done and while
she was yet alive. knife, evidently
one such as is used in splitting hogs,
was taken and the woman's abdomen
was cut open, the unborn babe fall
ing from her womb to the ground. The
infant. prematurely born, gave two
feeble cries and then its head was
crushed by D member Of the mob with
his heel. Hundreds of bullets were
then fired into the body of the wo
man, now mercifully dead, and ths
work was over.
