The two officers, Major Butts as

peared that Major Butts attempted
what Is known as a vertical bank"

apparently caught the airplane with
fun force INT such way as to lift the
tail vertically into the air.
The usual nose dive followed the
Jerking Of the plane into vertical

Had they been higher up there
would have been, in all probability,
time FOR the plane to have "nattened
out and suded safely on. Before it
could be righted. however, the plane
hit the earth with crash that
smashed it to bits. Officers and men
rushed up, but found that while the
two men were still breathing, both
wore unconscious, and they died in
a few minutes.
Both Col. Dickman and Major
Butts were graduates Of West Point,

THE lend OF A PERFECT DAY"
Return Of Pitchford Boys from "Over
There" Made Possible Reunion.

The fall Of the evening shadows on
! Sunday, April 9Th, brought with
them the END Of a perfect day" to
one happy household in our South
| land. The day was not only itself
perfect as days go, but it was per-
| feet to Mr. and Mrs. S. n. Pitchfofd,
Of Walhalla, because it brought once
again under the parental roof all Of
| their children In happy reunion.
Their happiness was doubly sweet be-
cause, Just one year ago, the second
Sunday in April, they all met for the
last time before Charlie and Sam
| embarked for the battle-noids of
France. At that time their hearts
bled when the parting hour had
come, but they beat strong with pride
| for the two sons who were tried and
found worthy Of their parents and
their country when they voluntarily
| bade farewell to both and offered
themselves in defense of the Flag
and humanity's cause. 1t was too
much to dare hope that both would
be returned in health to- those whom
| they left behind. But by the grace
Of God and the courage Of the Amer
lean soldier, they and thousands
upon thousands Of others are re-
turned to make glad the hearts of
those who love them.
70
which beats in the human breast,
glimpse Of the spirit of happiness
which pervaded this home yesterday
was sufficient to make the coolest
human heart throb with JOY. 1t was
sight to bring tears Of happiness
| to any ones eyes to see these two
| manly fellows, strong Of heart and
| sturdy Of limb, full of that courage
born OF duty we'll done-men full
grown and four square In every sense
OF the word-returned to their fam
lies, their laurels, SO richly deserved
and so hard in the winning, borne
with such easy grace. The two stars
in the Service Flag which has hung
Tor so many months by the door of
their home. seemed when Won
thought Of the records of these fell
lows, to be lighted with halo of
gold. In deed and in truth, Charlie
and Sam have written their names i'm
indellible letters of gold in the hearts
OF their countrymen. Some shout.
Long live the king" but to us of
America it will ever be Long live
such fellows as these!'
Tho Family Group
on this happy reunion occasion was
made up as follows: AIR, and Mrs.
5. \. iitchford. the happy end Justly
proud parents; Chas. w. Pitchtord,
OF Walhalla; Mr.. and Mrs. Claude
w. Reid, Walhalla; Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Hughs, now Of Walhalla, but
recently Of Greenville; Mr.. and Mrs.
Sam G. Pitchford, Of Greenville; Miss
ldah Pitchford, of Greenville, and

PENSION MONEY FOR OCONEts.
Fund Amounts this Year to $0,444.
List Of Pensioners by Glasses.

Clerk of Court John F.. Craig has
received from the Comptroller Cen
eral check for $9,444, which sum
is to be disbursed among the pen
sioners OF Ocunee. The following let
ter to Clerk Of Court Craig explains
the distribution Of the fund. All the
checks have been made out, and
where the full address of the pen
sioner is definitely known, his or her
check will be mailed direct:
Letter TO Clerk of Court,
o John f. Craig, Clerk Of Court for
Oconee County Sir:
beg to enclose herewith the pen
sion roll for your county, along with
warrant receipt and warrant for
$9,333
An act passed by the recent Gene
raj Assembly requires that the pen
sions for the year 1919 be handled
as heretofore by The Comptroller
General and the various Clerks of
Court After this year, however, all
pension matters will be handled by a
newly created board, known as "Pen-
sion Commissioners" and by the
Judge Of Probate You will,
therefore, take up all matters per-
tanning to pensions that may come
before you with Hon. D. w. McLau-
rim, Pension Commissioner, Colum-
bia, and also make any refunds that
you have left through Mr.. McLau-
rim.
1t will be noted that the roll en-
closed herewith is the same as in
91S. The Attorney General has rem
dered an opinion which does not al
low any changes to be made in the
1918 rolls by the old State Pension
Board-hence there are no new pen
.sioners, nor are there any raises.
The pensions must be paid strictly
according to the roll enclosed, as fol-
lows:
Yours very truly,
Rut. l.. Osborne,
Comptroller General.
