army. He left Norris last May and
went to Camp Dix, N. j., entering the
54th Engineers. He was there only a
month when he was sent overseas and
landed in England, where he rested for
three days and then went to Cherbourg,
France. From there he went to Perrog
ney, and this was his headquarters for
six months. He says he will never fol-
get his trip from Cherbourg to Perrog-
ney He with his companions were
boarded on freight cars and 38 were
placed in each car, which by the way
were cattle cars about one-third of the
size of an American cattle car, and they
rode for two nights and three days with
nothing to eat but hardtack cheese and
water. Most of his time was spent in
driving a car for a division superinten-
dent and he saw lots of country in his
trips and had a comparatively easy job.
He left there Dec. Is and arrived in this
country the 30th Of December and stayed
at Camp Grant until he was mustered
out. He says he could talk for ten years
on his experiences and travels.

"The CaveH Case" Based on Fact.
''The Cavell Case," which Select
Pictures announces for the Strand
Theatre on Wednesday, February s.,
is the true and stirring story of the
life of Edith Cavell, the British Red
Cross nurse who gave up her life to
save those of several English soldiers
who were being kept prisoners in a
dirty, reeking cellar in a hospital in
Belgium.
This picture, which was produced
by Plunkett and Carroll, was pic
turized by Anthony Paul Kelly, auth
or of the big Broadway success,
'"Three Faces East" John G. Adolf
directed the picture. It is remark
able in its close adherence to the
slightest detail of the actual happen
ings in Belgium at the time. Brand
Whitlock's document is the basis for
the truth of the story. adv.

quarters for the Browns Valley line
and all of the mail for that line is now
made up in this Office, both coming and

see a special night service installed
here, as this is already needed now on
account of the increased business.

Interesting Figures.

Did you make a study Of the fig
ures shown in the statements of the
six banks in the county published in
The Advertiser last week? The peo-
pie of the county have on deposit in
the banks the large sum of S1,723,-
832.S4 and they have borrowed from
the banks the large sum of $2,4S2,-
616.95. Verp soon the deposit figures
will steadily increase, as farmers
realize from the sale of their pro-
duce, and the amount of loans will
steadily decrease. AS we stated last
week, the banks of the county are
we'll managed and are the pride OF
the county. Very soon another the
Peoples Bank, located at Edgefeld
will be added to the list of banks in
the county. A call has been made tc
the stockholders to pay 20 per cent
of their stock in this bank by Octo,

proving the Martin Town road. Mr..

ness-like way by appointing a fl
nance committee, a secretary and
treasurer. No funds are to be paid
out until the work is inspected and
found to be we'll done. Already the
citizens, from the money they con-
tributed, have purchased and hauled
lumber for rebuilding the bridge at
Mill creek. Mr.. Broadwater, the su-
pervisor, will take one of his road
working squads down on the Martin
Town road and do much of the heavy
work, such as laying out new roads
around hills, etc. The people of Col
'liers can not be commended too high
ly for taking the iniative in road
building, contributing generously
themselves and also soliciting sub
scriptions from others who are inter-
ested in improving this road, one of
the main arteries.

"The Baraca class with it's enroll
ment of 120.odd members has voted
unanimously to have big TODD of

prominent speaker, (b) oysters any

raca orchestra.
"We know the speaker will bring

they have already been practicing
for the occasion. Besides this the
quartette which sang so beautifully
the other night will be asked to get
together and give US some selections.
You will miss treat if you are not

honor of the men and women who
served in the recent World War has
begun, and now make an earnest

The question with US is-Shall we
permit History to denominate our
county as a DELINQUENT in the
final discharge of its duty to its sons
and daughters who contributed their
services and lives to the VICTORY
which we now enjoy? We have never
been so dominated, shall we now?

Help Save a Million Dollars.

Clemson College, Sept. 29.-Re-.
ports received thus far indicate that
cotton anthracnose, the fungus boil
rot of cotton, is even more wide
spread and destructive this season
than heretofore" says Director 81.
W.Barre, of the South Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station. During the past
ten years the disease has caused an
annual loss of more than million
dollars in South Carolina. The dis
ease seems to be becoming more de-
structive from year to year, in spite
of the fact that the Investigations
conducted at the South Carolina EX-
pertinent Station show that it can be
prevented.
eve have found that the fungus
which causes anthracnose grows into
the inside of the diseased bolls, at
tacks the lint and seed, and grows
Into the seed. The fungus remains
alive in such seed until they are
planted and germinate and start to
grow; then it attacks the seedlings.
The disease remains alive on these
stalks and attacks the bolls when
they appear. In this way it is car
ried in the seed and continues to
spread from year to year.
There is no way of curing stalk
of cotton after it once has anthrac-
n.se. The only thing that can be
done is to protect the cotton next
year. The first and most important
step in this is to secure seed which
are free from disease. 1t is best to
secure seed for next years planting
from a field where there is no dis
ease. If this is not possible, the next
best thing is to pick cotton for seed
from stalks which show no signs of
disease and which are not near dis
eased stalks. It is not safe to pick
healthy looking bolls from stalks
which have rotton bolls on them.

Who Was the Private Soldier
and What Did He Do?

When l use the word, private sol
dier, mean the rank and file on the
firing line. The man behind the gun
lis the greatest man. The private SOL
dier is a necessary and distinct char
Letter in every age and every civili-
zation. In the earliest records we
have of any people we find among
them the soldier, in war to fight, in
peace to watch; in war to labor, in
peace to wait. He was product of
natural evolving conditions of the
world. He was produced for dis
tinct purpose and labored for a def
mite end.
The private soldier was never free
from the responsibilities imposed by
the nation or tribe. In war, soldier,
in peace, citizen. He was every
where in every land in every time.
No civilization has history without
the soldier. So it seems that the sol
dier is a great economic plan of crea-
ton. He is but a tattered atom, nc
rank, no recognition, no future save
| hope of success. Why notice him?
will say he was the eye and ear, the
arm and body of the service. He was

Lumber Business Increasing.

Lumber Business increasing.
The number of lumber wagons
driving into Edgefeld has been large
for some time and the number is
likely to increase, as the saw mills
are increasing. A gentleman, who
seemed to be informed, stated to the
writer yesterday that the average
person does not realize how many
saw mills are now in operation in the
county. He said the number is not
fan from forty. Who ever thought
that the lumber business would be-
come such an important enterprise
in THE county? 1t is well that there
arg other sources of money besides
coton just at this time. The lumber
interests will help business during
the period of adjustment, if the boil
