received telegram from the adju-

put off Joining will be disappointed.
There remain a few openings in the
American Expeditionary Forces, how

CoblenZ, May 17.-Henry Morgen-

to Turkey, addressing an assembly Of
soldiers here last night, predicted
that the United States would again
be involved in war within fifteen or
twenty years. He said that at pres

The former ambassador, who came

WILL TRY TO SETTLE SOLDIERS
In tho Soutl-Plnn Calls for ApprO-
priation OF Half Billion Dollars.

Washington, May 17.--Establish-
ment Of community settlements for
soldiers, with especial attention given
such subjects in the Southern States,
is provided in bill which will be
introduced H. the House early in the
present session by Representative
Mondell, Of Wyoming, the Republi-
can floor leader, and chairman Of the
steering committee. The bill pro-
vides for an appropriation Of $780,
900, 1000, TO be administered by the
Secretary Of the Interior. The meas
ure is to have the endorsement Of the
various government agencies and CIV
ic organizations interested in the
project
Delegates from ten Southern
States recently visited Washington
and urged Congressional leaders and
government officials to take early
action on legislation for the further
ance of the plans. Throughout the
entire South, they pointed out, there
are large areas Of cut-over, swamp
and waste lands capable Of cultiva-
tion by the reclamation process, and
concerted action was being taken by
the Southern States towards induc-
ing the government to locate soldiers
there in settlements.
The first settlement is expected to
be established in one Of the Southern
States, and gradually extended until
large numbers Of soldiers are located
in communities over the various
States where local conditions war
rant.
Back to the farm" enthusiasm is
shown to be strong among soldiers
by the large numbers Of applications
received at the Interior Department.
All honorably discharged members Of
the army and navy will be eligible to
settlement of the lands, but prefer
ence will be given to those who have
had previous agricultural experience.
The bill provides for the acquire
ment Of large tracts Of land for sub
division into small farms and for the
creation Of community centre in
their midst, with schools, churches
and other civic institutions for the
benefit OF the settlers. The tracts
will be purchased with view to the
permanent reclamation and develop
ment of idle lands. Purchases Of
tracts under tho bill must be ap-
proved by representative Of the
Governor Of the State in which tho
lands are located by an appraiser Of
the Federal farm loan board and the
Secretary Of the Interior.
The Secretary OF the Interior also
shall have authority to cooperate
with a State in providing rural homes
for soldiers when the State appro-
pirates 25 per cent OF the required
funds, and to arrange for reimburse
ment Of the States funds.
Payment for the land by the set
tier will be made by an initial in
stalment Of five per cent Of the sale
price, and the remainder in amortiz-
ing payments, bearing four per cent
interest, extending over a period not
to exceed forty years. Provision is
made for advancement OF sums up to
81 200 for farm improvements, and
for short-term loans not to exceed
$500, for the purchase Of live stock.

1T WAS DOCK MOODY, NOT LAY,
Who Got ShOt-Young Man Is Got
ting Along All Right.

Last week we made mention Of the
fact that young man of the Cheohee
section had been shot and was then
brought to Walhalla for medical at
tention. The name given by us Of
the young man who had been wound
ed was Dock Lay, and this was Il
mistake. 1t was Dock Moody who
was injured. He is son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Franklin Moody, Of the Cheo-
hee section. and he was brought to
Walhalla for medical attention by
Jesse Lay, who is his uncle. Mr.. Lay
has son named Dock, but this
young man is now prosecuting a
course Of study at Furman Univer-
sity, and was in no way connected
with the trouble, nor was he even in
the community. The error in the
name evidently gained currency by
reason Of the fact that MIR. Lay has;
son with the same given name as
the young man who was shot, and
that 1t was Mr.. Lay who brougn.
the young man to town.
AS to the particulars of the shoot.
ing we have been informed that the
trouble between young Moody and
the man who shot him, John Mathis,
arose over dispute concerning a
land trade between the two, Mains
having rented land from young Moo
dy 1t seems that the trouble had
been brewing practically all Of Sat-.
urday, and the two had come toge-
ther oarly in the day in an encoun-
ter, in which Moody got decidedly
the better Of "fstic argument" and
Mathis left with the implied state
ment that the trouble was not ended
Moody went back to his plowing and
remained in the field until late in the.
evening. When he went home, hay
ing to pass in the road near where
Mathis lives, he was accosted by the
latter, who fired a load Of small shot
into his body. Fortunately Moody
was not badly hurt, though the shot
was fired at comparatively close
range. On Saturday when we saw
Mr.. Lay he stated that Moody was
getting along all right, and that he
had already gone back to his work.
Dock Moody is a young man, un-
married. and is about 20 years OF
age. Mathis is said to be about 35
or 40 years of age, and is married
and has family.

w. II. IsLANCHIGTT DEAD.
Aged and Respected Citizen Passed
to His Rew,frd Saturday.

There are many Who will regret to
learn Of the death Of w. u. Blanchett,
which occurred at his home near
Walhalla last Saturday morning. On
| Sunday afternoon his remains were
laid to rest in the cemetery Of Rocky
Knoll Baptist church, in the presence
of large concourse Of sorrowing
relatives and friends. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. L.
NJ. LYDIA.
Mr.. Blanchett was a native of An
| derson county, and was in his 74th
year. Forty-nine years ago he was
! happily married to Miss Martha
! Simpson, Of Anderson county, and to
this union eleven children were born,
eight of whom are living: l.. o. Blan-
chett, Of Marietta, S. c.; w. j. and
w. c.. Blanchett, Of Washington
State; Mrs. Ben Krool, also Of Wash
Pickens; Mrs. Geo. T. Morton and
S. w. Blanchett, of Walhalla, and
p. e. Blanchett, now in France. L..
E. Blanchett, another Of his sons, was
! killed in battle in France a few
months ago while on active duty with
the American forces.
! Mr.. Blanchett was Confederate
veteran, having volunteered for SER
vice In the army Of the Confederate
States when but fifteen years Of age.
| He served for three years, coming
out Of the service at the close of the
war. He was known by his comrades
as soldier Of worth, and his life
was that Of valued citizen, whose
/ honor was recognized by all who
knew him.
Mr. Blanchett had been living near
Walhalla for 81 years. He was a
deacon in the Rocky Knoll Baptist
! church, and one Of the leading men,
always ready to give Of his time and
money to the Lords cause. He was
an upright, honorable citizen who
will be greatly missed from his COM
munity.
| Besides the members Of his i'm
mediate family he is survived by one
brother, j. j. Blanchett, Of Green
Vile, and a half brother, Henry Blan-
chett, of Calhoun Falls, S. c., and
one half sister, Mrs Harrison Simp-
son. Of Iva, Anderson county.
1T had been our pleasure to know
Mr.. Blanchett personally and init
mately for number Of years. He
was not Il man who went in for show
or sought prominence III any sphere.
/ lie was a plain, transformations citi-
zen who filed well the sphere in
which he lived and moved, and we
mourn his death along with the mem
bers Of his family. He has been
called to his reward, and the reward
is certain "Well done, good and
! faithful servant; enter thou into the
| JOY Of thy Lord" This, we feel. is
Il fitting tribute to the deceased,
whose life was so long spared in
our midst, and who so we'll per-
! formed the duties that came to him
: to perform. We sympathize with the
bereaved ones in their sorrow.
