BOYS"
From Kenneth Dickson.


DR.. j. S. Stribling. Of Seneca, has
received the following letter from
Lieut.. Kenneth Dickson, a son Of Mr..
and Mrs. w. Pat Dickson, who live
near Oakway:
Somewhere" Sept. ., 1918.
Dear Doctor Stribling:
am writing you short letter to
let you know that | think OF my
friends back in the States even
though I don't often write, and that
think especially Of those whom |
expect to see over here soon and who
| may be SO fortunate as to be treated
by in case should fall in ditch and
break leg. When you get here be
sure and let me know what hospital
or regiment you are attached to.
Well. Doctor, I am well and hap
py as can be. l have just returned
from a month in certain regions that
have been pretty unhealthy for our
friend GERRY" In fact he has
found things so unpleasant that he
hastily departed, leaving many SOU
venirs Of his visit In the way Of dead,
wounded and prisoners, as we'll as
millions Of dollars worth Of guns and
ammunition. Personally I saw very
few Germans, but / hope that I did
them some harm even though I did
not see them.
One Of the saddest moments of my
life up the line was when I saw COM
pany after company Of Germans run
ming away, and they about thou
sand meters before the range Of eight
machine guns that | had: and the
artillery had been unable to keep up
with the infantry advance. Il GER
tainly hated that. but there was no
way breaking the Boche resistance
between, so they got away. Some
times, however, they were not so
fortunate and we would have the
pleasure Of seeing crowd Of fat
Germans scurry for shelter as ma
chine gun or artillery fire would
suddenly be brought to bear on
them.
The Germans are great with their
machine guns and trench mortars,
and when we ran into a nest Of these
things the doctors would certainly
have business. We haven't learned
to fight them as well as the French +;
consequently the Germans held us
back and slowed our advance more
than they did the French. Our
troops are too anxious to give the
Germans the bayonet, and because OF
these reckless ways are called by the
French "fghting FOOLS" But with all
this the French are the people who
go about tho game in a quiet. bust.
ness-like way, and when the day is

The COnerOss Union Meeting.

The union meeting Of the upper
division, Beaverdam Baptist Associa
tton, met with Coneross church Sat
urday and Sunday, Sept. 1929. The
meeting was opened at IL o'clock by
devotional exercises conducted by
Rev. w. NJ. Thompson, after which
the Introductory sermon was preach
ed by Rev. j. s. Corpening, of SEN
eca. 1t was great sermon on the
subject, what the church owes to
the community"
=" On Saturday afternoon the follow
Ing queries were discussed: What
are some Of our greatest needs rs an
. association" Are we properly en-
-phasizing our distinctive Baptist doc
trines?' "Our duty to our Baptist
schools and colleges" and "The rela
tion Of our Baptist schools to the de-
nomination. These queries were
ably discussed by Rev. w. NJ. Thomp-
son, Rev. l.. NJ. LYDIA, Rev. J. S. Cor
pening and Or. c. a. Jones.
On Sunday morning Dr.. C. A. Jones,
educational secretary Of the Baptist
denomination in South Carolina, de-
livorcd a great discourse on Chris
tian education.
On Sunday afternoon the ques-
tion, what can we do to build up
our prayer meetings." was discussed
by Rev. J. A. Watt. Rev. l.. NJ. LYDIA
and DR.. G. a. Jones.
The congregations we're not very
large on either Saturday or Sun
day This was due, perhaps, to the
busy time gathering crops on Satur-
day and to Uncle Sans order not to
burn unnecessary gas on Sunday. But
10 those who were there it was a
great feast, both bodily and spiritu-
ally. The people OF Coneross know
how to entertain, and It seems that
they did their best on this occasion
A bountiful dinner was spread on
both Saturday and Sunday. And the
speakers--well, they we're at their
best. We were delighted to have
DR.. Jones with us.

good cause until there are no young
men loafing around towns or cross
roads. | suppose that most Of them
are gone now, but we want to show
the U. S. that South Carolina is the
best State of them all.
I noticed with a great deal OF sat
isfaction that she went over" in
Liberty Bonds and also in Red Cross
and Y. NJ. G. A. contributions, al
though (and hate to say it) | think
that the money spent in Liberty
Bonds was worth a great deal more
than the other, for have found the
Red Cross and Y.MC.A. workers are
much more active in the States and in
Paris than where they are really
needed. Now, I don't say this just
because they are societies outside Of
the army, but because it is a. fact that
the men they send out are mostly
shirkers, though there are excep-
tions, and these people do excellent
work. This is not the result of the
organization, but of the individuals
who are looking out for a soft job.
The older men who come over here
are much better than the young
draft dodgers" They sometimes
reach the very front lines, where
they do an inestimable amount of
good.
l have met great many men from
South Carolina, but none from SEN
eca since I have been over here l
met the regiment to which the Todd
boys belong and asked about them.
They are getting along fine and are
making good records.
Write me a long letter and tell all
the girls to do the same, as one never
tires Of reading the news from the
people back home.

CONSCIENCE SUFFICIENT LAW.

Perhaps those persons who neglect
TO redeem the pledges they made in
the W.S.S. campaign last juno i'm
agine that the American soldiers
leave their native shore and 20 over
seas to take part in sham battle? At
any rate, sham war loan pledges at
home cannot be counted on to finance
a real battle. Those persons who,
through forgetfulness or neglect,
have not purchased the War Savings
Stamps which they pledged them
selves to buy are evidently persons
who do not notice the daily casualty
lists with the roll Of the heroic dead
who pledged their lives for America
and who kept their pledges.
The sales reports OF W.S.S. show
that in most OF the counties the w.
SIS. pledges are being faithfully
taken care Of; but tho sales reports
also show that not a few persons are
failing to buy the stamps in accord
ance with the pledge made during
tho June campaign.
'Therc Is no law to enforce the
pledges made in June" states the
South Carolina War Savings Commit
tee; but he is a poor American
whose conscience and whose sense OF
patriotic duty are not sufficient

over they have the greater results to
show. They certainly are good fight
ers.,
After one has been up to the front
and seen the way in which everything
has been destroyed he can fully ap-
preciate quiet country where war

how thoroughly the Germans have
destroyed the parts Of France that
they have over-run until one returns

They will certainly have to have good
excuses before they will secure the

I am beginning to appreciate more
than ever the value of the quiet, mat
er-of-fact man. He Is the man that is
more than apt to keep his head in
battle. and he makes the surest and
safest leader. have often wondered
why the Southerners made the best
soldiers, and believe that is the
whole secret-he takes conditions as
he finds them and seldom loses his
head or gets shell-shocked. She'll
shock is certainly something awful,
because you can hardly tell how bad
1t is or whether a man is really a
coward. | have seen men who had
absolutely no wounds go through
the battle and then 60 to the hospi-
tai, and a few days later the report
comes back that they are dead,
whereas others would pretend to be
awfully bad off and get out Of the
fight only to return as soon as a
place Of safety was reached, THAT IS
the reason I hate it so badly-you
cannot tell how badly a man is af-

ment OF anthracite for this state The

enee IN this office with Mr. Barnes
the Federal Fuel Administrator for
West Virginia and some eight or ten
representative citizens from Charles
Town, Martlnsburg and two or three
other communities in the so called
Panhandle OF West Virginia
"The reason that the allotment was
made was because of the geographi-
cal situation of this particular portion
of the state; surrounded by Maryland
and Virginia into both of which limit
ed quantities of anthracite coal were
permitted to move. 1T was under
stood that the anthracite coal would
be confined TO the Panhandle SO that
no criticism could come from the
states adjoining the rest of West
Virginia from which anthracite coal
Yves withheld this year.

body entitled to as much credit for
working done on this proposition as
