BOYD PATRICK
COMMITS SUICIDE
ENDS HIS LIFE BY SENDING
PISTOL BALL INTO BRAIN
SUNDAY MORNING

The announcement in Kingstree
Sunday that G. Boyd Patrick was
dead was shock to his many friends
in the community.
His death occurred about 9:30
Sunday morning, he having COM
mitted suicide by firing pistol ball
into his head near the right temple.
Death was almost instantaneous.
1t was generally known that the
young man had been in despondent
state of mind for several months,
but no one ever heard him express
himself as being tired of living or
make any threats upon his own life.
He vas devoted to his family and
apparently happy.
The deplorable act occurred at his
home on the place of his father-in-
law, Mr.. j. D. Galloway, in the In
diantown neighborhood.
After feeding the stock and doing
the usual chores about the home,
Mr.. Patrick had begun making prep
arations for going to preaching,
when suddenly a shot was heard by
those in the house, who, upon look
ing out in the direction of the unus-
uai Sabbath noise, saw the young
man fall over in his car-dead, with
a. smoking revolver. the same weap,;
on his brother. Jack Patrick, had
used a few years ago in taking his
life. still in his hand.
Mr.. Galloway was only a snort
distance away and rushed to the car
in which Mr.. Patrick had deliberate
" seated himself to commit the rash
act. Life was extinct when he reach
ed him. He notified some neighbors
who assisted in removing the body
from the car. Coroner Brown wa:
summoned and an inquest held
There was but one decision to rem
der:that the poor fellow had taker
his life bv his own hand.
G. B. Patrick was we'll known
throughout the county, and esteem
ed bv all for his kind heartedness
honesty and integrity.
For the past twelve or eighteen
months prior to the "work or hght
rule adopted BY the government he
operated an automobile livery and
resided, with his family in North
Kingstrce. Upon the PRONUNCIATION
of this government order he gave up
his automobile work and went to the
farm of his father-in-law, where he
has since been engaged.
He is survived bv his wife and two
small children, also one sister and
two brothers. The remains were
buried at lndiantown church Mon
day.

MAKING USE OF OLD GUNS
Victory Medals Being Made From
Melted German Cannons For
Liberty Loan Workers

Victory medals to be awarded to
workers who participate actively in
the Victory Liberty Loan Campaign,

American troops in their history

These medals, the first of the kind

Under ALLIES
RIGID TERMS
GERMANS GIVE UP VESSELS
AGGREGATING 100000 TONS
TO UNITED STATES

Brussels, Fridey,-The German
delegates to the conference at Brus-
sells Saturday regarding the taking
over BY the Allies of the German
mercantile feet and the provisioning
of Germany Saturday definitely ac-
cepted the conditions imposed by the
Allies.
The German representatives sat
on one side of long table, while on
the other were an equal number OF
Allied representatives. There were
no greetings, salutations OF ameni-
ties of any sort. The whole proceed
ings were marked by impersonal RI
gidity. The chairman of the German
delegation stared at spot on the
table and addressed his remarks to
no one in particular. Vice Admiral
Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, of Great Bril-
tain, chairman of the Allied delega-
tion, began by reading statement
prepared for him by the civilian
members, calling on the Germans to
saw categorically whether they abid-
ed by the terms Of the armlstlce
Under Secretary of State Won Braun
replied curtly:
HYes". ".
Admiral Wemyss then read one
page of typewriter memorandum,
giving in crisp sentences the terms
of the Allies for grantin food to
Germany the German merchant
feet to be handed over at once, ,finan-
cial provisions to be made at once,
food to be delivered at once and to
be continued until the next harvest,
or as long as Germany abided by the
terms Of the agreement.
As the statement was read 1t was
translated into German and French,
the German replies receiving the
same treatment. The air of imper-
sonality was preserved throughout.
1t was then settled that the details
of the ration of 10000 tons OF food
monthly with the shipping and finan-
cial plans should be elaborated in
subcommittee and the first plenary
session adjourned, having lasted only
few minutes.
In this meeting there were no ap-
peals or references TO humanity ana
civilization or to women and chill
dren, the only statement in this con-
fnecticn being that infant mortality
had doubled in the last three months,
and this was simply mentioned as a
cold declaration of fact in connection
with the request of the Germans for
more condensed milk.
The German delegates were an
xious to enlarge the proposed month
ly imports Of certain commodities,
only to be met with the statement: !:
al regret that the worlds shipping
does not make this possible"
Reference on some points was re-
served by the Germans for discus
sion with the government at Berlin.

TAKES YEAR TO
MARRY IN AFRICA
PROCEDURE NECESSARY FOR
TWO METHODIST MISSION
ARIES WEARISOME
MATTER

Africa is very hard place to get
married in, as was found out by Rev.
Thomas E. Reeve of Calhoun, Ga,
and Miss Etha Mills, a pretty school
teacher, formerly at Applegate, Vir-
ginia.
The two young people are mission
aries Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, in the Belgian Congo.
Reeve left the pastorate of the Wes-
ley House, San Francisco, California
and Miss Mills left five years teach
ing Virginians the three RS to go
direct to central Africa.
After courtship that was watch
ed with much interest at the offices
of the church in Nashville snag
was struck by the young people that
threatened to indefinitely postpone
their wedding. The laws Of the Con-
go State required that both their
birth certificates and marriage GER
tificate had to be approved by the
Belgian Consuls in the United States
as we'll as the Colonial Minister Of
the Congo at Bona.
However, 4 way was found out Of
their difficulty by moving to and es-
tablishing thirty-day residence in
the French Congo.
Rev. Mr.. Reeve was born in At
lanta, Ga, on January 4, 1889. His
father was well known Georgia
physician, who died in 1900. In 1896
the family removed to Calhoun, Ga,
where the family residence still is.
After receiving his education at En-
DRY College, Georgia, and Vanderbilt
University, Nashville. Tenn, he en-
tered his first pastorate in 1911 at
Woodland, Cal. He remained there a
year, and served a two-year pastor
ate at Alameda, Cal. until 1914,
when he became pastor Of Wesley
House, San Francisco, Cal.
He was first vice-prcsident Of the
Pacific Conference Epworth league.
At the Wesley House in San Fran
cisco, he was familiarly known as
"Pop". The bride specialized in La
tin and French at Peabody College,
Nashville, and also at the summer
school Of the University of Virginia,
after being graduated in 1905 from
Blackstone Female Institute, Virgil
MIA.
Their work in Wenbo-nianla, Afri-
ca, was made possible by gift Of
$4,000 from Mrs Glide of San Fran
cisco.
Their work as teachers and evan
gelists will be greatly enlarged, it is
expected. as the result of the great
campaign for S35,000,000 now under
way as part of the celebration of the
Methodist Centennial of Missions.

Where Negroes Made History

Very little has been said or writ
ten Of the Negro's part in bringing
about the ell of the war, but real
thrill went through the War Savings
Convention at Carnegie Hall on Feb
ruary 81 when Colonel William Hay
ward of the 369th U. S. Infantry,
the regiment of fighters from the
negro population, known as the 18th
New York, told of the scrap put up
by his boys
The majority of the enlisted men
are from Harlem, and Colonel Hay
ward said that the way those boys
conducted themselves in the last days
of the war forms part of great his
tory which will be written some day.
"In talking to Justice Hughes a
few days ago l was astonished to
find out that the people in this coun
try did not know what happened in
that last big German offensive on the
18th Of July" he said. "You see, the
Germans had been reinforced by re
leased prisoners from Russia so that
they had their maximum forces.
They had broken through the Brit
ish line and it was pretty near disas-
ter. This was east of Rheims. The
Germans had also torn through the
French at Montdidier, gone through
thirty or forty kiTos."
Colonel Hayward then explained
the old Fifteenth had been turned
over to General Gouraud, command
er Of the Fourth French army and
that his men captured some Germans
on the night of the 18th Of July thus
learning that the expected attack
would be launched upon their front.
During the l91 days that the regi-
ment was in the trenches, he said,
there were many weeks when there
was nothing between the German
army and Paris but his regiment.
"But that was fair enough" he said,
because there was nothing between
us and Berlin except the German
army"
"When the French knew this bat
tie was coming" he continued, their
forces did not remain a thin blue
line. 1t seemed that all the soldiers
and all the cannon in the world
crawled over and took positions back
Of us.
General Gouraud saved the world
for civilization. but he took a chance
the greatest chance any soldier ever
took in the world. He took his troops
out of the front line trenches over
front of fifty kilometers. He aban
doned them when he was sure the
attack was coming.
"And when this attack occurred he
had the Fifteenth New York on one
end of that fifty kilo line and the
old sixtv-ninth New York, in the
Rainbow Division, on the other hand.
And so, when the German fire fell
on these front line trenches for five
hours and twenty-five minutes, they
fell on empty trenches except for
the fe& patrols left in reinforced
trenches with signal rockets, gas
shells and few machine guns.
Practically all of these came back to
us in the morning.
"When the hour for the German
infantry attack came these patrols
left off gas bombs and signal rock
cts and our artillery let loose on the
massed Germans. The Germans were
literally smashed and never got
through to our second line.
But on the other end they did
get through. They crashed the Rain
bow Division and the Sixty-ninth
met them hand to hand in some of
the most terrible fighting of the war
fighting fit for that terrible bat
tie, the battle that was the turning
point of the war;
