Camp Davis Man Knows
How The Germans Fight

CAMP DAVIS, May pvt. Jo-
seph B. Porter of the Antiaircraft
Artillery School here, knows how
it feels to tang1e with the Nazis in
close up fighting. In the cold
wastes of Spitsbergen, above Nor
way, with three other Americans,
he bumped into four Germans and
when h e ensuing hand-to-hand
fighting ended there were three
dead ferries and one prisoner.
Porter's back still hurts from
Nazi rifle butt, but it turned out to
be very lucky blow-one that he
won't forget in hurry. AS his ell
bow struck the ground, his auto
matte rifle discharged and moved
down two of the right people.
This all came about when Porter
volunteered with six other para
troopers to wipe out German COM
to pave the way for
the main task force. Just short
time before he had also volunteer
ed with three troopers to destroy
a German radio station which was
nuisance of itself in
Greenland. AS a result of this ven
ture, he was snow blind for IS

days, during which time he lived
mainly on dehydrated food, which
eventually grew very distasteful to
him. During this expedition, the
temperature dropped to so below,
three of the dogs died, and Porter
and his party had to take refuge
in an ice cave.
During the fortnight in the cav
ern, the band supplemented it's ra-
tons with polar bear s.eaKs and
an occasional snow shoe rabbit. Joe
recalls that the meat was quite a
relief from the CT issue even
though it did taste a little gamey.
As if he hadn't experienced
enough excitement, his chip was
torpedoed on the way back to the
States, and pieces of shrapnel bit
into his lip and one leg. He got
back January 8, 1914, and after
period of disqualification the 20
year old veteran was once again
assigned to the AA School from
whence he had got his start in
military life. He married the for
mer Elena Hardwick and they
have their home at Aynor, S. c.

Gregg Cherry advocates
International Machinery
To Prevent Another War

BETHEL, May Q Up - Gregg
Cherry, candidate for governor, at
a public meeting here tonight said
I'VE must, following this war.
adopt the principles of Woodrow
Wilson in our efforts to establish
some kind of international ma
chinery to prevent another such
war as we are now fighting."
Cherry made a plea for a united
citizenship to win the present war
and a public sentiment to establish
a permanent peace after the war.
AFTER the soldiers came home
from the last war public sentiment
turned against President Wood
row Wilson and his efforts to Gre
ate international machinery to
prevent the recurrence of other
world wars" Cherry said. eff we
had followed that leadership, we
would probably not have had to
send our young men into this war.
Wilson was thinking the young
women Of the United States. and
we must think of them now and
tomorrow.

the state Democratic convention
which convenes at noon Thursday
and which party leaders predict
will be one of the most harmonious

The convention proper will con-

congressional meetings will begin
at 10 o'clock. District caucusee vii

the national convention.

resentatives and already mentioned
as a candidate for governor IN 1919
will be the convention keynote
speaker. His address is expected
to deal principally with records OF
the Democratic party under Gov.
Broughton n d President Roose-
welt.
More than 1000 delegates to at
tend the party gathering were Sc
lected at county conventions held
Saturday. However, headquarters
here believe some of those deslg-
mated will not attend.
Most of tn e county delegates
were instructed at their county,
wide meetings to endorse Cover
nor Broughton for the Vice Presi-
dency and President Roosevelt for
fourth term. Planks giving party
support to both are expected to be
incorporated in the platform OF the
convention.
Redden, meanwhile, said he be-
