son.

apIh y, 1910.
Dear Editor:
If you will allow NE space /
will tell of my trip to Camp Jack
son.
| left Cookeville March 81,
and got to Knoxville at 5 o'clock
that evening and stayed in Knox
vile until S:35 next morning.
We went thru Jefferson county
and from the train it looked like
a fine county. There was lots of
wheat and clover there. The
land was level just as far as you
could see. We went out of JEFF
ferson into Hamilton county.
This looks to be a fine county,
but tbs hills begin to appear and
the land is higher. We went in
to Cooke county and there we
saw some very high mountains.
We struck the French Broad
River here. We went up this
river for $50 miles. The rail-
road crossed it nine times before
the head was reached. We went
out of Cooke county into N. c.
We went to Hot Springs, N. G..
and there we saw pen of Ger
mans, something near 5000 of
them in one pen. 1t would make
any one mad to see these big
tough scrappers. 1t makes a fel-
low feel like doing some murder
ing. We saw them going and
coming. They are on the bank
of the French Broad river, with
a guard around them.
North Carolina looks to be
very mountainous from the train
all you could see was hill anC
pine timber, When we got tt
Ashville, N. C. we changed cars
for Columbia, S. C. We arrived
at Columbia at 11;20 Saturday
morning. | went to Camp Jack
son and saw the boys. They
: looked to be enjoying the best Of
health and have plenty to eat
We took dinner with them one
day while we were there. | tel
you they had a fine dinner, yor
bet. We saw the boys drill anC
use their machine guns. | tel
, you they get a double quick on {
boy there. Some of the boys
are very anxious to leave CAM
Jackson for France.
1t is worth anybodys money tt
go and see the boys. 1t dom
cost you very much, just 1923. Z
for a round trip ticket, and {
big per cent of this goes for wal
expenses.
| will tell you a little about
South Carolina. 1t is very poor
and they don't raise nothing
much but cotton. There was
lots of cotton planted there anC
the pine is so thick you can't see
anything.
Very truly,
Jackson County sentinel. (Gainesboro, Tenn.) 1914-current, 1918-04-18

The superintendent reported that
with the approval Of the school d.
rector from the Firts Ward he had
sold one Of the old school wagons
formerly used to transfer children to
Madisonville school, for $4,000. On
motion of Mr.. Millar, seconded by
Mr.. Woodruff, this sale Of the school
wagon was approved, and funds or
dered placed in the general fund.
A bid was received from Mr.. S. o.
Carter for operating the school trans
fer from his residence to the Sun
school, and as it was the lowest the
contract was awarded to him for $85
per school month.
Thos. E. Drumming submitted q bid
for SIS for operating the school
transfer to 1.-The Covington school
from the ward line on the Columbia
road, and this being the lowest bid
the contract was awarded him for
that price.
Moved by Mr.. Millar, seconded
by Mr.. Woodruff. that the superin-
tendent be authorized to close con-
tracts for the operation of such
school transfers as have not been
contracted for. Carried.
A petition was received from the
patrons living north of the Middle
Roads school asking for a transfer

Navy That Does Things.

1t is some navy. 1t does things.
It's shooting, sailing, fighting, and
depth bomb dropping-all efficiently.
It's the best navy America ever saw.
It's the worst navy Germany ever
saw, looking from Berlin out. It is
a navy for all Americans to be proud
off, it's navy that the mother of the
clean, outstanding sailor boys can be
proud Of; it's navy that the mothers
of the soldiers can gratefully thank,
too.
He was regular army "lutecolonel."
He had just landed and met him at
the docks admiring with me the ways
of the sailor men.
81 have been in the army a long
time" he said feelingly. II have had
big thrills in the Philippines, Mexico
and Panama, and all over the world,
but the biggest moment of my whole
life was three days ago out at sea
when five little lightweight champions
came out of the horizon and put their
arms around our old ship.
That Sense of Safety.
ut was the most glorious sense of
safety that ever expect to enjoy. AL
most like arrows they shot toward us,
then wigwagged and semaphored mes
sages, then, like a lot of terriers rat
hunting, they darted on the work of
sub searching.
"That night I slept soundly for the
first time since I left America.
knew nothing could harm us-the
American navy was on the job"
Then I think of what l heard
doughboy who had been swept away
with the thrill of the sea and the navy
life say: "These sailors are great.
kinda wish I'd gone in the navy my
self now"
