Member of the Guns Crew.

A recent item in The Herald and
News mentioned a former young
Newberrian as being in charge Of one
of the 5-inch guns on the U. S. S.
Tennessee, then on the cruise to Van
couver. We have since received a
letter from the young man, Mr.. w. B.
Oxner, dated San Francisco, CAL,
August 26, in which he modestly cor
rects that statement. He says he is
member of the guns crew, but has
not gone as far as being in charge
his position in the crew is shell man.
We like the modest way in which
young Oxner writes. For the infor-
nation of everybody we will state
that he had no hand in giving US the
"news." Continuing in his letter he
says the Tennessee is 1924 feet long,
has IA fve-inch guns and twelve IA
inch guns" He concludes his inter-
esting letter as follows: "The sister
ship California, which is to be put in
commission soon, is being built in San
Francisco. We certainly have a
splendid bunch on here, both officers
and men,"

FIGHTING SUBMARINE .a..
IN NEW PH0TCPLAY
"Wet Cold" Taken Under Water
Shows Submarine Rising and
Firing Torpedoes l..

Those who have wondered how. sub
marines operate will have a chance to
satisfy their curiosity when "Wet
Gold,". the under-sea picture OF j.
Ernest Williamson comes to the op-
era house Tuesday. The picture,
which is distributed by Goldwyn, dis
closes a submarine lying on teh bot
tom of the. ocean. The boat, which is
one of the latest models, $50 feet
long, was built specially for this pho
toplay.
Divers who have been hunting for
treasure on the ocean floor, enter the
vessel by a trap door under the bow.
This is closed and the submarine is
seen to rise. Another flash within
the submarine shows the operation OF
the control levers.
Besides this close view Of the sub
marine rising to the surface, "Wet
Gold," shows thrillingly the firing of
a torpedo. It is loaded into the tube,
the chamber locked and the torpedo
shot out while tho boat is on the sur
face of the water. The torpedo rs
seen travelling only few feet sub
merged. Through the ingenuity of
Mr.. Williamson, the torpedo was made
to travel at only ter miles an hour,
whereas its normal speed would be
thirty-fve miles.
Ralph Ince directed "Wet Cold
and also played the leading part in it.

CHARTER PRESENTED
TO THE BOY SCOUTS

On Thursday night the formal pre-,
sentation of Charter to Troop /, Boy
Scouts of Newberry was made. The
meeting in the auditorium of the high
school was opened by Hal Kohn, sec
retary of the Rotary club who told the
purpose of the meeting and then i'm
troduced the speaker of the evening"
! Dr. Geo. B. Cromer, president of the
Rotary club, who then presented the
charter to Scoutmaster Carl Julien
and his troop. DR.. Cromer told them
that although the Rotary club stood
sponsor for this troop still it was
something which the whole commun-
ity was deeply interested in and which
he hoped would be taken up by 9TH
ers working together so that all the
boys in Newberry who would like to
become scouts could have a troop to
join. DR.. Cromer read the oath Of a
scout and told the scouts of Nathan
Hale, that great scout who at the age
of % laid down his life for his coun-
try, with the last words, "Would that
l had more than one life to give for
my country"
After DR.. Cromer's speech Scout
master Julien and his troop marched
to the stage and there depicted a day
in camp, pitching tents, making fire
without matches, first aid to scout
who has been snake bitten and one
who had cut his hand and various du-
ties about the camp. Then the lights
were turned on and in the glow of a
camp fire te scouts gathered around
in semi-circle and sang songs and
told Jokes much to the delight of the
enthusiastic audience. The camp fire
scene was very pretty and was enough
to make every small boy present wish
that he belonged to the scouts. After
this scene the meeting was over.
Miss Julia Johnstone played for the
scouts and the music was good and
highly tuneful.
The scouts were dressed in full un-
form for the meeting and made a fine
showing, with their khaki uniforms,
wool stockings, red kerchiefs and
scout hats. ,
Long live the scouts and may their
number increase. g.,

BODY is EXHUMED
AFTER 100 YEARS
Rev. S. T. Hallman Tells Story of
Unearthing Bones of Preacher
After Century in Grave.

Spartanburg, Sept. Z.-ReV. DR.. 5.
IT. Hallman told a reporter for The
Herald a very wonderful story rela-
tive to the exhumation Of the body of
preacher after it had been in the
grave over one hundred years. The
facts were supplied him by people
who were thoroughly conversant with
them and whom he served as preach
er thirty years ago. They are per-
sons of uninlpeachable veraclty.
Here is the remarkable narratNe in
DR.. Hallman's own words:
! GAS far back as 1850 there were
a few German Lutheran churches in
this state, among which was the old
St. Johns Lutheran church in New
! berry county. The land on which
the building stood was held under a
grant from George III, king Of Eng
Land.
''These immigrants who had come
here to escape the religious perse-
cutiors of the old country found 1T
very difficult to get pastors from their
Fatherland. There was then in the
community of st. Johns church a
German school teacher by the name
Of Frederick Joseph Wallern-a
learned man, ibut not then an or
dained preacher. This the writer
wos told by the very. old people OF
that section when, years ago, ne was
pastor there.
s'The people, in their hunger for
the preached word, and for the sac
rament of the church, naturally turn
ed to their scholarly teacher, and
plead with them to fill that sacred Of
fee. He finally consented, and be-
came pastor of that church. History
has not recorded the duration of his
PASTORAL labors but he died in 1916,
and had begun his services there
some time in 1887. He was buried
in a wooded section near his home.
There his body reposed for one hun
dred and four years, ga suitably IN
scrabed stone marking his place OF
rest. 81 -.
sThen the pastor Off st. Pauls
church near by, (theo,Rev. S. r.
Koon) and officers and friends, decid-
ed to remove his remains to the
church cemetery whereb his grave
would be carefully kept. When his
body was taken up the skeleton OF
the man was there in its ,entirety, the
teeth showing the dental work OF
long ago, and the arm nligaments so
firm that a physician who was pres
ent could not pull the forearm of the
elbow socket; nor we're the bones
separated at the wrists, NOR were any
of the bones decayed. nParts OF the
lining of the walnut coffin remained,
with the tacks which were used.
"a strange fact remains to be told.
The root of a. tree had made its way
down on one side Of, his coffin bed,
passed through his feet, and up on
the other side, and then twining
about his head, as though intended to
hold the precious remains together.
Beyond all question, here is the
stamp of Gods approval on tine gos-
;pel ministry of one who surrendered
the Office of teacher for that of Win
ming souls to Christ. God, who knows
the end from the beginning, watched
over his remains over one hundred
wears. and now suffers the silent
voice of Rev. Frederick Joseph Wal
lern to speak in tones Of infinite
force to this age of growing skeptl-
cism."
