OF much obscurity how it is physically
or mentally possible for any man who
loves liberty, who Is native or
natura!ized citizen of the United
States. to make even the slightest
manifestation Of objection to the prose-
cution Of this war to the final end.
grieve that many of our poor boys
may fall, and God grant that but few
shall fall or be hurt, but we should
think back to our distant ancestors
who fought In the Revolution to estab-
lish this republic and give to the
world not only a new nation, but a
new meaning to the rights Of man. Do
we begrudge the sacrifice Of any man
who gave his life in order that that
great privilege should be established?
VINO among our men, who among our
women, regrets even the sacrifices
that were made during our Civil War
to abolish human slavery and to main
tain the Union? Who regrets the sac
riices that were made to rescue Cuba
from the domination of Spain and
make her an Independent republic?
Why, all hearts throb and our whole
beings thrill when we can trace one
who gave some contributory effort or
sacrifice In order that these great
achievements should lie as the sue
cesses Of our country. And so wonder
full as are the achievements Of our
great Revolution, the tremendous ad-
vance to maintain the Union and abol-
ish human slavery, the independence
of Cuba, all Of them, great and glo-
rious as they are, today the time and
the opportunity mean the overthrow
of Torylsm the world over and the es-
tabllshment Of universal democracy
among all peoples on the face Of the
earth.

two noble sons of Sharp county to

We had not been in camp long uR-
til Big Boy" as everyone called
Shelby Mobley, ceased to be jolly
He told me that he was feeling
very badly, but we all hoped ne
would be better soon, but to our
sorrow he grew worse and was
forced to go to the hospital for
treatment. When he went away
the weather was very cold and bad,
but we all anxiously awaited the
return of Big Boy" Soon after
Roscoe Berry followed Shelby to
the hospital, and we heard nothing
from them until Sunday, the open
ind of Christmas week. While l
wss on guard duty that day a note
was given me for the commanding
officer. stating that Shelby }. Mob
ley was seriously i'll. Then in the
early afternoon the shocking news
came that he was dead, Early on
Monday morning the terrible news
came that Roscoe Berry was also
dead.
Their comrades are so very sorry
that they had to quit US so early In
the struggle, and feel that we have
lost two strong characters who
would have been helpful to US in
many ways. And let me say to all
relatives and friends of these two
Young men that they have shown
all the true American bravery that
any men could show, Their con-
duct in camp was above reproach,
and their aims and standards were
very high.
So feel, people of Sharp county,
that these lives we're given for your
protection just as much as if they
had fallen on the battlefield They
are held in honors just as high as
the soldier who goes on the firing
line and falls there. They died the
death of the true soldier.

JOHN FELTS WRITES
FROM CAMP Pike
Death Of Two Home BOYS Is
Very Much Regretted By
Their Comrades.

Editor RecOrd:-lt you VIII allow
me space, will tell your readers
something about the Sharp county
boys at Camp Pike.
On tn 29th of November, a
Thanksgiving to be long remember
ed by the twenty-five who left their
homes to do their bit in the mill
tary world, being joined oD the way
by several men from Alabama,
reached Camp Pike about II o'clock
at night. We we're led by a SOL
der to the receiving station, lined
up and marched about and then
the first things we received from
the hands of Uncle Sam, except
our red cards, were some queer
looking things called mess kits.
Then we received our blankets and
barrack bags and was conducted to
another barrack, where we we're
given a cot, but no bed sacks or
straw. So we spent the remainder
of the night between two blankets,
on what some of the boys called
barbed wire.
The next day, as good luck would
have it, we we're all assigned to
Casual Company No. 2 We have
all tried to have a good time, but
some of the boys were not at all
satisfied with their move, and real
ly didn't want to stay, but it being
such a busy time with Uncle Sam
they try to be just as much con-
tented as possible and are doing
their work in a military manner
and in a way that will please all in
the state Of Sharp when they see
the result of their labors.
But it must be said that one
thing has been against US all the
time. We have been under quar-
antine every moment since we
have been in the camp, so we have
not had the benefits of the Y. M.
c. A. and other things OF that char
acter. We hope to be out OF quar-
antine in a few more days at the
most.
Christmas Eve night we we're
visited by a Y. M. c. A. squad, who
sang some beautiful songs, and
Santa threw out some presents for
the boys, all of whom held out their
hands and hats like chi ldren of six
On Christmas day we we're all we'll
filled on turkey and other good
things to eat--to make. ii short, we
had a fine dinner. The three meals
on Christmas day cost a good deal
of money
But, hear me, soldering is all but
pleasant, and were it not tor the
nobility of the service we might
think we never could do it. But
when we think of the great cause
for which we stand, and for a great
er cause none have ever stood, we
fell like we do so little that we are
an expense to our dear old Uncle
Sam. So for me, here is my all as
my part OF the game.
Here is where my pen almost
refuses to move, but | feel that
must say a few words in behalf OF
