Pickens Boys at Camp Jackson

Dear Gary: Since wrote you last it
has been my pleasure to meet up with
several Pickens county boys in the army,
and some who are not Will give you
the names of as many of them as now
recall. Some of the boys from Pickens
| have just heard about.
1t was reported here that Earl Morris
and Honsel Bivens came down through
the country last Sunday from Pickens.
After circulating around through the
country between here and Pickens they
landed at what they thought was the
place of their destination, Chicora Col
lege. But to their dismay they learned
that it was the state asylum in which
they had strayed Through the timely
effort Of friends they were extricated
and went on their way rejoicing
Sergeant Frank Welborn of Pickens
was thrown from motorcycle last
Sunday afternoon on the road to the
camp, when negro car driver ran an
automobile into the motorcycle, and was
severely bruised about the head and
knees. He was accompanied by another
Pickens boy, Oliver Boggs, of U. S. C.,
who lifted the car off Of him. Frank
was able to be at his work Monday
He has been in the service little more
than six months.
Private Charley Welbornc made trip
to Pickens recently which he says he
greatly enjoyed He brought back some
eats from home which his mother fixed
up for him and know were greatly en-
joyed, Pickens county cake, butter,
parehed peanuts, apples, etc. And he
divided with all the boys We will let
him off to 60 home every week.
Corporal Paul McClanhan Of Liberty,
visited his home folks recently. He is
now in line ter another promotion.
Captain Wm. A. Folger and Liuet.
Alex Robinson Of Easley. are among
the commissioned officers here from
Pickens. Capt. Lloyd Grandy has sailed,
understand, and have been unable te
find Capt Andrew Bramlett.
A young fellow by the name Of Me
Junkin, called -, is over in the de.
pot brigade. Ben Moore, of the Martin
school section, who came down here in
September saw me the other day and
asked me if he hadn't saw me in Pick
ens,' and told him reckon he had if
he had saw me. Said he thought | was
the fellow that ''loafed" around The
Sentinel Office but told him that was
you. He was mistaken, he saw me
somewhere else. Moore has not been
home since he has been here, through
some misunderstanding with the officers.
Think he will get off soon.
This is all the Pickens men here that
think of right now but will write you
again. Yours.

SEVEN REASONS FOR
SAVINGS.

There are seven good reasons
why the government has issued
War Savings Stamps:
/. Save for your country's
sake. because it ia now spending
millions a day, and must find
most Of the money out OF saw
ings.
2. Save for your own sake.
because work and wages are
plentiful and, while prices are
high now, dollar will buy moro
after tho war.
3. Save because, when you
spend, you make other people
work for you. and the work Of
everyone Is needed now to win
the war
4. Save because. by saving, you
make things cheaper for every.
one, especially for those who are
poorer than you.
s. Save because, by going
without you relieve the strain
on ships, docks, and railways,
and make transport cheaper and
quicker.
6. Save because. by saving.
you Get an example that makes
1T easier for the next man to
save. A saving nation is an
earning nation
Z. Save because every timc
you save you help twice, first
whea Jou don't spend, and again
when you END to the nation.

WAR ASSUMES SPIRITUAL
ASPECT

The president $ proclamation.
authorized by act Of congress, to
set apart Thursday next, May 80,
as day Of prayer, humiliation,
supplication and fasting opens up
d train Of thought that has been
emphasized in these columns more
than once, and which has been the
special desire of the Common
wealth to impress upon its readers
the recognition of the spiritual
side Of this great war tragedy, as
much if not more than the hui
man side.
In connection with this view it
is interesting to note the pream-
bic Of President Wilson s procla-
nation, which voices the fact
that the United States, as ma :
ton, has made it a rule, in every
crisis Of the nations history, to
appeal for Divine Guidance" so
that it is especially fitting that
the leader Of uor country 50 care
guided the ship of state so care
fully through the breakers Of dis
& aster, and whom all the coun-
tries who are with us in this war
are turning their eyes upon for
solution of this international
problem, should also appeal to his
country-men to join him in earn
est prayer for the cause Of the
allied armies onthe side of free
dom.
One can we'll ina CINE the many
silent hours the chief executive
has spent III his chamber, lifting
up his great heart and mind, in
agony, before the great white
throne appealing for guidance in
making decisions that affect this
great nation SO vitality. Few Of us
probably, have given much thou
ght to the momentuousness of the
president s daily duties, the great
and sometimes awful, rulings
that he felt himself bound to pass
and which, we doubt not, he
would have gladly have refused
to act upon.
Now he feels that he alone
should not carry the burden t

lessness, the fight yill continue
bitter, that the sorrow and suffer
ing may bring us to a better con
ception of our short comings, then
when this hour Of humiiatino shall
have come, and our redemptio1
from sins committed fully effected
by the blood, our people may be
ready for the new revelation, and
may be given to the world.

CAUSE OF HEADACHE

By knowing the cause, desease
may often be avoided. This is parti-
cularly true Of headache. The most
common cause Of headache is dis
ordered stomach or constipation, which
may be corrected by taking a few dos
es of Chamberlain Tablets. Try it.
Many others have obtained perman-
ent relief by taking these Tablets.
They are easy to take and mild and
gentle in effect.

upon his country men to JOIN
with him in quiet and earnest con
temptation Of the world at war;
land in the sanctitude' Of the church
Of the several peoples choice, OF
| fer up to Almighty God prayers
from the heart appealing for help
a clarified vision, a cleaner heart
a reader response Of things spirit
ls,,&. and above all victory for the
cause Of Christ.
Sacrifice must also take a part
of prayer, and what more fitting
that the people Of today should
fast, as did the faithful of old
when on the verge Of great cal
amity, or great victory. For our
part we would not have our PEG
pie so satiated with greed and
gluttony that they cannot forego
one or two meals on a single day
that the mind may be the clearer
to look existing conditions in the
face.
Let us then PROSTATE the mind
and the body at the feet Of Christ
who above all others suffered
most for the cause Of freedom IF
mankind. and, as a token Of earn
estness, as we'll as an evidence Of
! sacrifice observe the day Of fast
ing.
1t is a striking feature, and
well to be remembered that but
a few hundred years ago, slender
fragments Of humanity landed on
these shores, after months Of prl
walton, and took upon themselves
lives Of desolation and sometimes
! want. in order to be free from the
terrorizing hand Of autocratic
kings and that this nation might
be builded upon the new idea Of
freedom.
| That this same freedom from Op
preston should have been fought
against the mother country little
more than hundred years ago,
! b. q handful. as it were, Of untrain
ed pioneers is the more striking,
since the mother country now APP
! peals to her former children, throu
Oh their offspring to come and
save the world, the christian world
! for freedom.
From tattered remnants Of
! terrorized people now appear, as
! though by magic, and with mag
nificence, in gigantic force, both
men, arms, and supplies cross a
gain the great ocean to the place
from whence their forefathers
came, and with righteous cause
beat back the tyrant and establish
II the old world-the centuries old
world Of oppression-a new flag
freedom for the entire world.
What a wonderful heritage this
for AMERICA.
Whilst our thoughts so frequent
ly dwell upon the result of this or
that battle or armed forces, few
have given enought thought to the
fact that primarily this war is a
spiritual war. If Germany should
win this war the Christian relig
ion would be doomed, and the de-
vii, who offered Christ dominion
over all the world would have won
after countless millions had been
sacrificed for the cause of Chris
tendon. and the lives Of all those
who remained would be worse than
+. the most horrible slave Of the Egy
ptlan era. @s4s
It is incnceivable that our cause
can fail, though it is evidence that
those protesting Christians have
not carried the banner Of their
faith before the world as valiant
warriors should, nor can any of US
agree that e have followed in the
footsteps Of the MASTER as he
ordered us to do, else there would
have been no need for this conflict
