Greene County Boy
Praises the French


Dear Sister,
Some days ago l wrote you l would
soon be on my way to the United
States, but there is really little or no
signs at the present time to confirm
the original statement, still / feel
quite sure that it will not be so very
long until there will be something
definite in the disposition Of the over
sea troops.
Until that time it will be quite nee
essary for me to remain in an air of
uncertainty; but do you know that |
have been doing that so long that it
has almost become pleasure now.
am quite we'll; weigh little more
than common and am not so homesick
as you would think, still shall not
reject the opportunity when the time
comes for me to return to The United
States.
French people and customs do not
bother me so much as many men who
have never been away from home,
still l cannot speak the language only
just enough to buy things and get
off with them; but on the whole |
think the French are yer ynice people
and deserve everything in the way of
sympathy and help the U. S. "A. cen
furnish and keep things going at
home.

S. Senate is getting along very, very
Glow with the peace treaty. 1t may
be that after they talk "hot air.
for long time, they will do a little
better. If they do not, then the case
seems almost hopeless.
If they could only have come over
here and seen in person the condi-
tons of the various peoples, then |
feel quite sure things would have
been different. 1t is really appalling
to see how much and to what extent
the war he's impoverished the coun-
tries in all commercial avenues of
life, to say nothing of the moral hav-
oc that has been wrought among the
natives and other countries as well
This cannot be described, you must
see it with your own eyes in order tc
have any real appreciation of things
as they really are.
Anyway, let US hope that the Sen
ate will hustle up and get busy witt
the treaty and relieve the situation a
the earliest date possible.
This is the greatest place in al
the world to see something old ant
ancient. Everything dates back t,
the earlier centuries-besides Franc

Al Honor Worthily Bestowed.

Congress having placed Peru in
that class of nations to which an am
bassador is sent to represent this
country, President Wilson looked
over the field for someone to fill this
important place and he decided that
Capt. William E. Gonzales, who has
served the past five years as minister
to Cuba, was the right man. Since he
entered upon his field of duties in
Cuba, Capt. Gonzales has reflected
lasting honor upon himself and upon
the United State by the able manner
in which he has measured up to the
responsibility that was placed upon
him, and we feel confident that in the
new and larger field to which he has
been assigned he will likewise make
record of which his State and ma
tion will be proud.

Many Boys Come Home.

The coming of the 81 Division has
brought home nearly a score of our

a warm greeting from their friends
and loved ones. Among those whom
we have seen are Bowles Morgan,

these boys over their safe return af-
ter rendering faithful service with
the American Army overseas.

Appropriations for Education.

If the efforts that are now being
put forth to increase educational
facilities in this State had been put
forth several decades ago, South
Carolina would not now occupy such
an unenviable place among the States
in the matter of illiteracy. The teach
ers are more efficient, the schools are
better equipped, the terms are
longer than they have ever been, and
the cap-stone was placed upon South
Cardinals educational structure
when the compulsory education law
was passed.
The time has come when the people
do not mind paying the bill for bet
ter educational advantages. Larger
special levies are constantly being
voted and steadily increasing appro-
priations are being made by the leg
islature for the support of the
schools. The fact is. people receive
larger returns for the money they
put into the schools and colleges than
they do from that expended for any
other purpose, and they already real
ize that it pays.
Tuesday the State Superintendent
of Education .disbursed the funds
provided under the school extension
law which have made it possible for
weak, short-term schools to run long
er. More than one-third of the school
districts Of the State have received
aid under this law. In Edgefeld
county 16 districts have received
S1,506. Let this good work continue
and the illiteracy in South Carolina
will rapidly decrease.

Death of Mrs. M. A. Watson.

Sunday morning in the early hours
my beloved friend, Bessie Padgett
Watson was called away to better
country. 1t had not been many weeks
since I had enjoyed pleasant but
unexpected meeting and conversation
with her in the home of her sister,
Mrs. Ransom Zimmerman when she
had with her all the dear children,
such interesting and bright boys and
girls. She was always so cordial and
gracious and winning in her manners
and of such generous nature.
Mrs. Watson was 3s years of age
and was married to Mr.. M. A. Wat
SON about thirteen years ago. At the
time of her death there were seven
little children, one just day old.
Mrs. Watson was a member at
Stevens Creek church and leader of
the Sunbeam Band of that church.
Last fall at the division meeting of
the Woman's Missionary Union these
children gave very interesting pro-
gram arranged by Mrs. Watson.
She was buried in the new village
cemetery at Edgefeld on Sunday af-
ternoon, her pastor, Rev. H. b.
White officiating. The funeral SER
vices were held at the home.
Besides her devoted husband, the
children are Lewis, Mary Ida, Milton.
William. Elizabeth, T. D., and the
baby, Hortense.
The immediate cause of Mrs. Wat
sons death was heart failure. She
will be greatly missed in the home
and in the community.
Mrs. j. L. Minis.
