CROSS HILL NEWS.


Gross Hill, Nov. II.-Alr. John

some time ago that his son, Thomas
Wells had been seriously wounded in
the big drive around Valencennes.
Since that time he has received a let
ter stating that the wound, which was
received October Sth, was not so scri-
GUS and that Tom is doing well. The
letter was written October IS, at
which time Private Wells was in the
General Hospital, having gone there
on the 10th. This was great relief to
his parents and friends here as the
first message had produced much anX-
icty concerning his condition.

Marion, S. c., moved to Cross Hill
last week and are now domicilcd in
one Of the Madden dwellings, in the
southern part Of town. Mr.. Mannheim
is the father Of Mrs. Lewis Hannah,
of this place. AS he Is in somewhat
feeble health it was thought the
change might prove beneficial. To
these new citizens the town extends
a warm welcome with the wish that
the father may regain his former good
health

DEFENSE COUNCIL TO INVESTI-
RE-SALES OF STAMPS

1t will probably be the policy of
the County Council of Defense that
the cashing in of War Savings
Stamps. at the post office. in the alb
sence OF real and pressing need of
the money. which cannot be procur-
ed in other ways, displays poor pa
triotism. Plans are now under way
whrein the council will call before
1t in session all people found to
have cashed in their stamps, TO in
quire the reason.
The Governments purpose in sell
ing War Savings Stamps is to there
by procure as loans of money from
the people, funds to further prose-
cute the war. If people buying the
stamps turn around and cash them
in soon the purpose of the sale is de-
feated, for the Government does not
get the use of the money.
The council will also decide upon
a plan of stimulating holding of
Liberty Bonds Persons offering to
exchange stock of any kind. or other
property, for Liberty Bonds. will be
classed as lukewarm in patriotism.
as will also the parties disposing of
their bonds. without good reason.
Efforts have been made. il is re
ported. to try to bring purely politi-
cal matters before the Council of
Defense The defense council ex-
lists by Congressional act. for the pur-
pose of locating and stamping out
dislOyalty and slackerism in various
ways. and does not undertake any
further activities.

FIVE MEN FAILED TO RETURN
QCESTlONNAlRES
Serious Consequences Will Result
From Further Delay, Says the
Chairman Of Local Board.

Chairman &. G. Parker of the To-
cal board gives names of the follow
ing five young men. who registered

Oakley Stiles Glass. Durant.
Hubert Douglass Holt. Yarnaby.
Ollie Mack Cummings. MatOy.
Pat Jackson (colOred), Hendrix.
Boys thus failing to return their
Questionnaires are given brief
time in which to return them. or
give the board Il satisfactory excuse
for their failure. Failing in this
they are reported to the Adjutant
General of the State. and by him to
the Adujutant General of the Army
