John Agner's Commanding Officer
Writes Mother Beautiful Letter.
My dear Mrs. Agner:
In few days your soldier will re,
ceive his honorable discharge and will
start for home.
He is bringing back many fine
qualities o. body and mind which he
has acquired or developed in the mli,
itary service. The army has done
everything it could to make him
strong, fine, self-reliant, yet self-con-
trolled. 1t returns him to you bet
ter man.
You have been an important mem
Der of that great army of encourage
ment and enthusiasm which helped
to make him and US all better sol
diers. You can now be a great help
in keeping alive the good qualities
he is bringing back from the army, in
making him as good citizen as he
has been a good soldier.
His fare and necessary expenses to
his home will be paid by the govern
ment. He will receive all pay due
him. He may, if he wishes, wear his
uniform for three months from the
date of his discharge. The govern
ment will also allow him to keep up
for the benefit of his family, his in
surance at the very low rate he is
now paying.
His return to civil life will bring
new problems for you both to solve,
the qualities he brings back will help
you now as your encouragement help
ed him while he way away, and in
your hands and his, rests the future
of our country.
AS his commanding officer, I am
proud of him. He has done his duty
we'll. I, and his comrades, will bid
him goodbye with deep regret, and
wish him every success after he O.
turns home-that spot in every mans
heart no other place can fill.
Sincerely yours,
Webster W. Stetson,
Capt. Trans. Corps.

Mrs. Deborah Knox Livingstone
At The Baptist Church
Sunday Evening.
Persuasion is better than force.

Persuasion is better than force.
An individual decision to do right
because the judgment has been con-
vinced, is better than the coercion OF
a hundred officers of the law.
We are thankful for every officer
of the law who does his duty and
brings to justice those who have
offended in selling or making alco-
holic drinks.
But there is better way.
Come let us reason together. Come
out to the Baptist church on Sunday
evening and hear Mrs. Livingstone
talk about the real situation in our
nation and the world in regard to
alcohol. She has every qualification
to make it entertaining for you.
See the Sunday night program in
another column.
Mrs. Livingstone spends most of
her time in New England, but came
to South Carolina because the wo-
men of this state made special re-
quest for her.
