LETTER FROM PRIVATE ROGERS

The following letter has been, re-
ceived by Captain D. A. Rogers, of
the Seaboard Air Line Railway, from
his brother, Private Wade M. Rog-
ers, who has visited in Abbeville and
has many friends among our young
people: -
Dear Arthur,
This is my day to write and since
I haven't written to you since I have
been here, am writing today.
We have been having fine weather
and have been having health ever
since we landed and as I get plenty
to eat I have nothing to grumble
about. ..a
I like this country fine, but it is
a lot different from ours. The hous.
es and walls or fences are all built
of stone, and some of them are very
old. The roads are fine, made OF
rock and something I do not know
the name of, but I imagine a kind
of cement.
The people are all as nice as car
be, and seem to think a lot of the
American soldiers.
The railroads over here, although
not as up-to-date as the American
roads, are very good. The box cars
are not quite half the size of the
American cars and about one fifth
the weight. They have only four
wheels and light ones at that. The
passenger cars are nearly as long as
ours but they have no aisle in the
center. A running board is built on
both sides and the conductor uses
this. Another thing / noticed diff.
ferent is that they use the left and
not the right track as we do.
The main crop. over here seems te
be grain, and potatoes. I do not
think that cotton is raised at all, il
so I haven't seen any.
On awful amount of grapes are
raised over here and the vines are
cared for and worked like the grain
One thing cheap enough is the
barber work. A shave for five cents
and a hair cut for eight cents; not
quite as up-to-date as at home but
good enough to get by with.
We are quartered in a French
town or village and stay in the
: houses.
! Tell Annie 1 received her letter
all right and that l will answer in g
few days.
1t is now nearly time for Dime,
so l will close.
With love to all.
Private Wade M. Rogers.

gaded together in the recent battle
in France makes the news of either
division of local interest. In let
ter from Sergt. Howard Van Loan,
of the 9th to friends in Abbeville
he writes: eve have been in the
same fight as the Thirtieth, each
time we were running a Dressing
station and cared for several South
Carolina boys. The work is very in
teresting and most important and
you will be surprised to know that
95 per cent of the wounded who
pass through our hands recover, and
about rs per cent are able to re-
turn to the lines in from four to
eight weeks"
Sergt. Van Loan is in the Field
Hospital Department, but by special
permission "went over the top" with
his old company.
Mr.. James T. Cheatham received
letter Sunday from his son, Capt.
J. C. Cheatham, who is in the Medi-
cal Department of the army and
who has been in charge of the work
at Camp Travis, San Antonio, Tex
as, that he is soon to sail for France,
where he will see overseas service.
DR.. Cheatham is an Abbeville Coun-
ty boy being the second son of Mr..
James T. Cheatham, but he has
been away from Abbeville for sew
eral years. -
Major R. B. Cheatham is safely
overseas but was stricken with the
flu about two days after landing,
and has been unwell since.
A letter from Thomas Sherard
to his mother and brothers was re-
ceived Saturday stating that he was
wounded and had been gassed and
was in a hospital in England, and
that John Calvert and Mr.. Duck
worth had also been gassed. J.;
All these young men are in the
Thirtieth Division in which most of
the Abbeville boys are also, and it
evident that they were gassed at the
time when Lieutenants Neuffer and
Wilkinson we're gassed.
The most serious news has come
from Bugler Kempton Billings, who
! volunteered early with the 118th.
Letters were received on the 30th,
! written by Kempton on the 10th,
= saying the boys had gone over the
top on the 9Th and that he had re.
ceived wound from machine gun
bullet. The bone in one leg was
shattered just above the knee, the
bullet going through making a flesh
wound in the other leg. The young
soldiers spirits were fine for he said
he hoped to sit UP in a few days
/ Another letter was received on the
31st written on the 18th from the
matron of the hospital, saying that
Bugler Billings was in the hospital
seriously wounded and that every
attention was being given him.
The young soldier is well known
around Abbeyille and over the State,
having spent one year at Clemson.
Many friends sympathize with his
father and hope that good news will
be received soon.

OUR BOYS OVER THERE.

our boys overseas who have recently
been taking part in the big fight
Letters are beginning to come IN
and the boys are writing in fine
spirits. The letters are not available
for publication but we can pass the
news on for the benefit of friends
who inquire.
Letters have been received from
Lieut.. Preston Speed dated as late
as Oct. 18th which gives the cheer
full news that he is we'll and safe af-
ter the big fight.
There is nothing cheerful about
the news from "Bud" Longshore for,
after doing a good part for his coun-
try in the fight, he got back to the
rest zone to find his handsome out
fit stolen, nothing was left but his
razor and a raincoat. Everything
has bright side for the enterpris-
ing thief left him the wherewithal to
be clothed and. the necessary article
to keep his good looks at high water
mark.
Lieut.. Gottlob Neuffer has written
his home people that he is we'll and
safe after the fight and is now a
short distance behind the line. Save
for an occasional bombing airplane
and some artillery fire, he is in no
danger. He says they have been
through "pretty warm times" pass
ing through mustard gas several
times in one afternoon but getting
back without wound. He and w.
D. Wilkinson were sleeping in a
pup tent which they found pretty
close quarters. Gottlob was taking
the cold ground, having given his
bed roll and blanket to poor wom-
an with a young grandchild, in Bel
gium. The young soldier was suf-
iering all the horrors of war for he
had had no bath in three weeks and
was taking off his shoes for the first
time in two weeks. -
He has seen something of the
discussion of the name "old Hick,
'ory'' for their Division, but they
have q new name now. They have
been moved so often that the boys
have dubbed the regiment the evan.
dering Jew"
Lieut.. Wilkinson has had mucl
the same experience that Lieut.
Neuffer has had both belonging te
the same company. w. D. took his
< boys over. the top, went through
some strenuous fighting and got
back with only few scratches from
barbed wire ENHANCEMENT.
Claud Wilkinson, who is with the
118th, writes his mother that il
would have made her proud to see
W. D. take his men over. Claud
adds that he as company clerk, did
not have to 60 with the boys but he
went along because he enjoyed it.
,. H'.* =.
Paul Sullivan, of Honea Path, has
been slightly wounded. The young
man is brother of Misses Edith and
Louise Sullivan, and is well known
in Abbeville.
Willie Jones, the young son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. E. Jones, has sent a
cablegram that he is we'll and happy
which will be good news to his many
friends and the friends of the fam.
lily.
.>,- &C.. *** (.
Francis Mabry, who is with the
Medical Corps Of the 30th Division
writes that he is safe and had had g
wonderful experience. He has helped
care for many wounded men, there
by broadening in knowledge and ir
a kindly feeling for all humanity.
