Mr.. E. H. Thurman,
Ruby, S. C.
Dear Step-Father:
Will write you few lines. l am
well excepting a cold, which is not
uncommon among us soldiers of the
Aperican E. F. -.s
Hope YOU Mama and all the kids
are we'll.
While we do not have opportunity
for great deal of enjoyment it is
probably not as bad here as you may
believe. 1t is a pleasure to be over
here and to know that we are a
part Of the A.E.F. and to know that
we have won this world-war which
you home-folks have been reading
about for four years or longer.
l wish you could see the villages
here to-day, for Old Glory is flying
high from all the windows, where only
few weeks ago she was rated as
only a rag. Now even the Germans
are proud to see her fly.
Guess you are reading about the
Third Army. How they are march
ing on, and notice how. they are
greeted by all-not only some, but
ALL the people. Besides being
thrilled with victory we see a lot of
historical places of much interest. l
saw the old Fort at Besancon, France,
which was built by julius Gear. /
have also seen real piece of the
cross on which Jesus Christ was cru
cited. Just think these people could
have that as mere keep sake. l al
SO saw bodies that had been dead
over two hundred years. This was
also at Besancon, the oldest city that
stands in this country.
Now word about the French pc
ople. On an average they are about
as large as the Americans, but their
ideas are altogether different The
buildings are on different plan. AS
rule in small towns they are built of
plain stone, covered with tiling. The
French family dwells in one end and
their cows etc. in the other. They
still follow the old custom of working
milk cows, which of course looks odd
to me. But it is good to know that
they have Christian heart, and are
faithful attendants at their church,
which is the soul of France. They
strive to erect the very best and most
beautiful churches possible in the
small towns.
1t is wonderful to see what
churches they have, the very finest Of
art. AS you probably know, the ma
jority of the French are Catholics.
Now l would like to tell you some
thing about ourselves and the other
soldiers I have seen.
g. The "Y" is as faithful as our right
hand. We yiist the "Y" huts often,
where we get gum, cigarettes, etc.
But the best is the Red, which cannot
be praised too highly. They are the
soul of the hospitals here. I spent
ten days in the hospital. Every morn
ing we were presented with gum
candy and cigarettes and many other
such things, and paper and envelopes
We never missed reading the New
York Herald. These things may not
seem great to you at home, but to u,
they mean lots. The work the Red
Cross is doing is really wonderful
| AS to the soldiers have seen here
among the allies, they are French
Belgians, British, Scotch Highlanders
Irish, Hindus, Australians, Italiaps
Japanese and the African Negro, ar

Increase in Southern Cotton Mill
SpindIss-Cotton mill building in the
south is being pushed with greater ac-
tivity than for many years, according
to figures compiled by the Manu-
facturers' Record. During the last
three months new mills and projected
enlargements represent investments
aggregating over s25,OO0,000 and total
of $4,000 spindles and 4,700 looms,
compared with 1o3,S62 spindles for the
April quarter and 10000 spindles for
the January quarter this year.
Spindles reported during the July
quarter probably is the largest num-
Der ever predicted in any one quarter
and greatly exceeds the total annual
increase in some years.
OF the new spindles, $4,000 will
be represented by entirely new COM
panies, while 100000 will be new in
stallments in existing mills.
North Carolina leads for the quar-
ter with about $4,000 spindles.
The aggregate new spindles since
January /, Is 55S.0OO, representing an
investment of more than $33,000,000.

HABITS or BIRDS.
Modern Observation Learns Much
About Them.

For many years the annual mi
grafton of the birds, although a per-
fectly familiar fact was shrouded IN
mystery. Except in tho case Of a few
birds like the robin, which winters not
far south of its summer home. no one
knew where, the song birds or the
shore birds went in the fall, or when
they began their northward fight IN
I tho spring, {, g " & 81 IL )
But the subject has been carefully
and patiently studied by SO many OBJ
servers and naturalists that Il Is no
longer impossible to answer these
questions. The cliff swallows and
blackpoll warblers spend their winters
in tropical South America; the gold
en- plover. which nests in the Arctic
Sea winters 5000 miles away In the
Argentine; the scarlet tanager is to be
found In December and January In
Ecuador and Peru, and the bobolink in
southern Brazil. ~" ~ ~,
For d long time 1t was thought that
the golden plover bore of the palm
for length and fight between summer
and winter homes, but now that dis
tinctioti is awarded to the Arctic tern.
This bird breeds as far north as 1t
can find anthinz stable on which to
construct it's nest; it has been found
within seven and a half degrees Of the
pole. And that nest was found sur
rounded by a wall Of newly fallen
snow which the mothex bird had care
fully scooped out from round her
chicl:.
The torn arrives in the far north
about June is, and leaves again for
the south toward the epd Of August,
when the young are able to fly strong
ly. Two or three months later tho
birds ore found skirting the edge OF
the Antarctic continent, 1900 miles
away. What their track is over that
vast space no one yet knows.
A few individuals, are occasionally
seen along the New England coast or
Long Island coast in the fall, but the
fiocks Of thousands and thousands OF
these gregarious birds which alter
nate from pole to pole have never been
met by any trained observer competent
to learn their preferred path and their
time schedule. They must travel at
least $50 miles a day-apart from their
flights in search or pursuit Of food
to carry them within ten or twelve
weeks from one end Of the world to the
Other.
The Arctic tern enjoys mere hours
Of sunlight than any other creature
on the globe. The sun never sets
during Its stay at the northern nesting
grounds, and during the stay in the
south 1t has two months Of continuous
sunlight and practical daylight for be-
tween six and eight months of the
yea. ,1. 5

This cycle of magic measured by 67 years has girded Earth with rails, spanned continents with cables conquered space with sound, and air with wings, and darkness with light that pierces solids. Marvels beyond these-it has soothed mortal suffering with anaesthesia, opened the new domains of surgery, and blessed the world with the heaven sent genius and patient labors of Pasteur. Into this era of marvels was born the brand-new science of bacteriology; it found laws of disease and founded preventive medicine; it produced antiseptics, reduced hygiene to known principles, revolutionized materia medica, and evolved the greatest chemical movement of all times
 61 years of patient experiment with the test tube have made the chemist and the pharmacist co-workers in the truest sense with the physician and surgeons servants of one cause. The same light of science ennobes the work of your ntelli- gent druggist that sheds it's rays upon the man of research or the doctor by your bedside The druggist bent under the same stud y-lamp to inter pret the physicians knowledge The laborer is worthy of his hire. but the skilled apothecary is often denied even the poor rewards of commerce much less the professional recognition he deserves

The Intellectual Drama.

From the New York Herald.
The taste for Shakespeare comes
and goes in cycles as uncertain as
the migrations of a school of mack
erel of the New England coast. That.
like the fish in the sea. it will always
exist, nobody familiar with the ever
changing moods of the playgoing pub
lie doubts. Shakespeare may spell
ruin year after year. but there surely
comes a season when the ever-latent
craze for classic representations will
show itself.
During the years of extravaganza
and light-thinking that followed the
civil war Edwin Booth built noble
playhouse that apt.y reflected his
own nobility of character. high ideals
and consummate skill as an actor.
He sunk his entire fortune in the
venture, but a few years later. be-
fore the country had recovered from
the disastrous panic of '73. Julius
Caesar" was presented by other play
ers in the same theater with re-
markable success and at augmented
prices.
That popular taste is now veering
toward the classic drama is apparent
to those who watch the theatrical
heavens for signs and portents. and
many players are preparing to take
advantage Of the auspicious moment
