it has been the custom of Farmer

nifcbt t > ask for an early closing ol

brethren to his home at the west end
of W. Elm St. This performance
had its annual repetition last Tues

ond course watermelons, third course
grapes—all fit for a king. Ample

dissatisfied as to the quality or
quantity of the feast. Everyone was
profuse in thanks, but that was poor

Criminal Court Next Week.
August Term of the Superior
Court for the trial of criminal cases
wiii convene next Monday. Judge
Connor will preside and hold his
first term in Alamance. Already
there have been 43 new cases dock
eted for trial next week. Of these
12 are charged for larceny and 12
for having to do with liquor in
some way. The law has been maut
more stringent for violations of the
prohibition laws of the State and
some of the offenders may get
something they are not tor.
That people in their right lu'lnds
will jeopardize their freedom by
short cuts for money by the selling
of liquor and stealing when work is
plentiful and wages are good is
passing strange. All such deserve

Graham, Aug. 10.—Among the|
young men who are answering
their country's call for it's de
tense Hgainst a foreign foe is one,
tuning many others, whom I es
pecially admire for his many
sterling qualities.
The geutleman to whom I refer
in Mr. VV. R. Freshwater, who is
well known throughout the coun
ty of Alamance. He was among
the first to volunteer and join the
Ambulance Corps of the Red
Cross Society organized at Greens
boro, N. 0, «
For the interest of his friends
and others who have connections
beiojiging to lliis Company, I sub
mit for pufflicatiou the following
letter just received from him:
"Fort Oglethorpe. Ga.,
Atnb. Co. No. 32.
I have planned to write you for
several days, but had to write to
all my girl friends first, you know.
So 1 am just getting to you.
We are just getting down to
work. We go to bed strictly at 9
o'clock, get up at first bugle call,
which is at 5 o'clock, a. in., and
you must be up or go to the ; uard
hoUHe. We have breakfast at 6:30
a. in. This consists of coffee, rice,
or grits, gravy, fried meat and
Stewed fruit.
We then go out at 7 aud drill
until 11a. m. Come in for dinner
at 12. This consists of navy beans,
meat, Irish pointoes, dried peaches
and tea. We then go out at 1
o'.-lock aud drill until 4 o'clock,
when we come in for supper,
which consists of stew beef, pota
toes and dried peaches, wijh
water.
From five uut.il nine at night we
do our cleaning up aud washing.
You should see Murphy Nichol
son aud Clem Bradshaw washing
their shirts. They are falling
Into it due. We are all feeling
good, though the weather has been
awful hot. We have had about a
dozen to fall out ou drill field,
though they afterwards got ali
right. This Fort is called "Sol
diers C'lty." There are about
75,(>00 here now, some coming in
aud s.iuie going out to 1 don't kuow
where, perhaps France. How
long wo will be here I dou't know,
at least two months I think.
Somehow I like the life. There
is a fascination about it that 1
love, yet there are many of the
boys that cry like kids. They
joined lor a good time, alrd they
are not fiudiug anything but hard
work. It is not as bad as I thought
it would be. We have an excep
tionally good bunch of boys; they
all hang together like brothers. 1
do not exaggerate in telling you
that we have the niopst and most
intelligent bunch of boys iu the
camp, and they aw making a line
showing.
1 have been placed iu the medi
cal department and go to school
two hours every night. I like it
fine. We have a good Captain
and he is good to every one of the
boys.
You have never seen so much
building going on. The Govern
ment is working (XX) German pris
oners building mess houses and
other quarters. I would guess
there are at least 1,600 carpenters
working hero. The fort is about 15
milea square and literally cover
ed in houses. lam sitting out on
the street writing this letter by a
very dim light. Don't know
whether you can read it or not.
Drop me a liue when yon have
time.
Very sincerely,
W. 11. Fkksiiwatek."
There in one thing about this
war that is to be regretted. Only
those who stand on a higher plain
than dirty partisan politics can
see it. Some writers for the press
intimate that .only Republicans
resist the draft system. No sane
person believes it. Kvery intel
ligent man or woman knows that
the Republican party has ever,
and will ever and always stand by
the "Stars and Stripes"—the
grandest flag that floats in the
breeze. When our first battle is
fought on the front, afterwards,
in gathering up the dead and
wounded you will find the patri
otic soldiers, both Democrat and
Republican, dressed alike in the
same colored drab suit lying side
by side Both have done their
duty, Iwith have done all that
mortal can do—given their life for
their country, l'osterity will be
generous and will give to each
alike the plaudits and honors due
' to heroes.
Very truly,
