DEATH OF MRS. FETZER.

Friends in Abbeville were shocked
and grieved Tuesday to hear of the
death of Mrs. Frank H. Fetzer, which
sad event occurred at her home in
Greenwood on Tuesday, Dec. 18th,
1918.
Mrs. Fetzer had just returned from
a pleasure visit to New York and it
is thought that she contracted infu-
enza on this trip. She was sick only
a few days when death relieved her
of her suffering.
Mrs. Fetzer' was the oldest daugh-
ter of Mrs. Lalla T. Graydon, and
was born in Abbeville about thirty
five years ago. She attended school
in Edgefield and at Elizabeth College
in Charlotte, N. G. About fifteen
years ago she was happily married
to Mr.. F. H. Fetzer, then employed
49,
on the Seaboard at Abbeville.
Funeral services were held at the
house on Wednesday and were con-
Quoted by Rev. Father Gwynn and
Rev. Father Murphy of the Catholic
church, of which church the deceased
ad long been a consistent member.
The interment was at Edgewood
cemetery.
Mrs. Fetzer was a woman of
strong character, of bright and at
tractive disposition and was energetic
the work of upbuilding her COM
munity.
The friends of her young girlhood
n Abbeville regret her untimely
death and sympathize with the be-
reaved husband, mother and family.

cause of some sort of disease we had

Winnhall Down. We remained at this
place q week and then hiked to South
hampton, where we boarded small
boat and crossed the channel to
! France. We made the trip across the
I channel in one night and were jammed
in the boat like sardines. l slept on

we hiked out to a rest camp and it
proved to be of the same quality as
the previous ones.
From this place we took a French
train for somewhere" which finally
proved to be Paldahon, France and
our training camp.
End. will only say in regard to
this period that we attended very
good artillery school and did a great
deal of firing on the range. The
instructors were very good and the
regiment survived the course and
come out with very good record.
From here I was detailed to go to
the American gas school at Langrers,
L
and upon completion of that course
was assigned to the 3rd Bn. Staff as
gas officer. At this place we were
also provided with our motor equip
ment. Finally our guns arrived. At
last the big day came when we re-
ceived orders to proceed to the cline"
and 1 think all of us were little more
serious than we had been heretofore.
We liked to a nearby city called
Besancon, where we placed our guns
and tractors on the train. The staff
cars made up an overland convoy to
which 1 was attached. This convoy
left in the early afternoon, our destin-

night. We stayed here all morning

News from Khaki Bows

Chief of Police Stillinger has re-
ceived the following letter from his
son, Lieutenant Otto Stillinger, which
gives more information than any let
ter received from France in a long
time, due to the lifting of the censor
ship rules. The letter follows:
Luneuville, France.
Nov. "a, 1918
Dear Dad: AS today is the day
when all soldiers of the A. E. F. write
to their first commanding officers,
and as censorship regulations have
been raised to some extent, thot l
would write you few lines contain
ing a little information of my life
over here, but it will necessarily be
quite brief.
I consider that my life here is d.
vided in three quite distinct periods,
namely: LIST, my trip across the ocean;
End, my period of training in France,
and 3rd, and what l consider the most
important, the last battle of the war.

LIST. AS you know we went aboard
our transports on the 18th of July
and on the morning of the 18th we
sailed down the river and out into
the ocean. Many were the heavy
hearts as we took what might have
| been, and was for some of the boys,
our last look at the Statue of Liberty
and of the best country in the world
There were 13 transports in our con-
voy and each and every one of them
was camouflaged to the highest de-
gree. My regiment was on an En-
glish transport, by name Caronia, and
there were other regiments aboard, in
all total of $500 men. The Caronia
was probably the largest ship of the
| convoy. The total number of men in
the entire convoy amounted to $4,000.
From the above statements you can
see that Uncle Sam was sending
troops over in large bodies. Just at
the entrance of the harbor we picked
up our destroyers and one battleshlp.
We were also escorted for some few
miles Gin fact all the first day. by
dirigible balloon. You have probably
read of similar conveys and | cannot
express in words the stately and seri-
Gus aspect of that sight. When we
were some three days out we were
deserted by our armed ships. Every
day at 10 o'clock we had boat-drill,
and although the boats officers claim
ed that there were life boats and life
RATS for every one aboard | couldn't
for the life of me believe it. Every
one aboard was required to keep his
life preserver in his possession at all
times, and the officers were required
to carry their pistols. We had beau
tiful weather during our entire trip, |
but even at that l don't believe that
there was a day when l felt that my
was absolutely sane. At night |
absolutely no lights were allowed to
show from any part of the ship and
at stated times all ships would change
courses and in fact we "zig-zagged"
our way across the ocean for 10 days.
At one time we simply sailed in
circle for several hours and later
found that submarines were laying
FOR our convoy. One beautiful after
noon we sighted some dark spots
which later proved to be our destroy
ers One the 26th day of July we
ylided into Liverpool harbor and dis
the same day. | shall never
forget what grand and glorious feel
ng it was to again place my feet on
something stable. English bands es-
,orted us from the dock to the rail-
.oad station where we boarded a train
or Winchester. Landed at Win
chester some time in the early morn
ng and then liked some three or four
niles to "rest" camp. This place
