Co. D, 3rd N. C. Infy , Camp Sevier,e Greenville, S. C., Sept. 8, 1917. Dear Air. Johnson: We are enclosing & Ust of calls ob (? rved dally which, shows that we do not have time to write to all ol our friends, so we are asking for a little space in your valued paper for a letter to the folks at home Our departure from our home town although sad was brightened by the p rsence of so many interested friends, who showed their Interest and love to the last, by gathering at the station to bid us farewell. Leaving home folks and friends nat u ? lly made us sad but we were great . -i> reaching Franklin ton to And that the ladles of the Red Crrsa Society had prepared for us a bountiful spread of many good thinaJ pleasing to a soldier's appetite. The good people of Franklinton will al ways be kindly remembered by the boys of Co. D. for such a rar trat and royal hospitality. Several weeks of hard thinking could not have planned a mor accptabl rpast. Not only did we appreciate the good things to eat but the spirit of patriotism which ptevalled. After an uneventful and pleasant trip wr reached our destination,Camp Stvier, Greenville, S. C., August 31st. Our welcome was a shower of rain similar to the one we encountered up. on our departure. After marching ever a mile in the rain and South Carolina red mud to our Company street it was too late to pitch tents for the night. Then supper composed of sandwich of corned "willie,"' we then spread our blankets on tlio floor of the mess hall and soon were l03t in the restful sleep that only a- tired soldier can enjoy. The remainder of our time has been Bpont in cleaning up and otherwise u aklng our camp presentable and as lwme-like as possible, for it Is the only home we have the privilege of enjoying. The entire Company Is In excellent spirits especially at mail time. Soup tall also Is welcomed by the entire Company So far there has been no sickness among us Our newlyweds have been a little Ml e, but letters from their "better fci 'ves" and a few smiles from Green ville's pretty girls are making life worth while. The old song 'Ain't It hard to love a married man," does not seem to apply to the Greenville girls. This city is situated at the foot tills of the Blue Ridge with a good s.ipply of pure mountain water (which is the only beverage) we are permitted to drink. It Is an exten sive manufacturing center, having twelve cotton mills, three shirt fac tories, and numerous other large en terprises, running full time, giving employment to thousands of men anM women. As call to quarters has soundel we must break up this meeting and close this letter, for we havo only a few minutes to pull off our shoes, \ tJio only article of clothing removed (it night and get to our bunks by taps.. " Wishing you an d the Franklin Times much success, we remain, Yours truly, * "The Big Four." From Co. F. About One Mile Northwest of Paris, September 10, 1917. Dear Asher: 1 am sure you are saying "He lied" if you have just read the heading of tills letter, but I can assure you I am in dead earnest and have not lied. We are quartered one mile Northwest of Paris. I think I read before leav ing home, In the papers, that the filit American army to march through the streets of Paris was kissed by the French ladles, hat when we marched through the streets of Paris, I did not see a lady, not even a "colored lady." so the girls need not get Jealous.. Now 1 have not aaicl we marched through the streets of Paris, Franoe It was Paris, S. C., a llttlo town a-, bout 4 miles west of ?Irecnville" See The general sentimcru here among the officers Is that we will not be'hero three months at the longest, though notwithstanding that, I don't bejleve 1 have seen a jollier bunch of boys Not a man has taken a drink since leaving home and every one Beems perfectly contented. Lieut A. A. Harvey of Radford, Va has een assigned as Seconr Lieuten ant of the Company He seems to be a nice fellow 23 years old and just out of training at Fort Myer, Va. Private H. H. Alley had 'cold feet" end was discharged Wednesday. Ila left for home on that date. John Morris says the ladies of Fiankllnton Red Cross "kidded" him when they put the tooth brush in his comfort bag. John has a mouth about the size of a hippopotamus and the brush looks like a toy near It. He says a "hair brush would suit him better however he is not kicking Letters Intended for us should be addressed to us "Sevier Branch, Co. F 3r N. C. Inf., Greenville, S. C," Nothing less than this will brinng them to us. Our old Mess Sergeant D. B. Kear ney visited us the latter part of the week. The boys were glad to see Durward. "We expect to get to drilling tomor row as yet the new men I guess have imagined we use picks and shovels instead of rifles. Sergeant Bullard left Tuesday to attend the burial of his father at Wake Forest. The camp will get electric lights in the Mess Hall and tents this week I gue3s. We are expecting the con scripts this week, then something will be doing. Will write next week if I get time. m Yours, etc. E. ",y. Edwards Red Cross Society. The return of $180.41 of Wr.r Fund from Washington headquarters to the Ilcd Cross Society here, for the pur chase of war relief supplies is great aid to the society with its constant demand for material. This amount is twenty-five per cent of the Louisburg war fund, $721.6 i. already collected and deposited to credit of War Fund at Washington. As the remainer of the Pledge fund is collected, the privilege is ours now, to sustract 25 per cent, of the amount for the benefit of Louisburg Red Cross Society War Relief Work. On Thursday morning seven of our county draft boys left Louisburg for Camp Jackson, Columbia, S. C. A committee from the Red Cross Society with other friends and rel a ttves were at the stattion to tell them good-by. Due to a misunderstanding comfort bags hod not been provided for all, so they were parcel posted later. It Is an important point to stress that all the drafted boys receive these bags before leaving our midst. A visiting army boy here from Colum bia this week tells us that these com fort bags are the greatest pleasure and comfort to the boys. Louisburg can't afford to give these bags to all theboys, but since the boyB mobilize here and leave here In a body,'we wish very much we could present them the comfort baprs as they were presented to the Co P boys. It Is un.lersiood that Prankllnton has given the bags to her * toys. The ladles of the Red Cross) Society of Louisburg are offering to make all the comfort bags for the other townships, fit them up and see them presented if each township 'will obligate Itself to defray the expense of the comfort bags. The bags ara n ude regulation size and we hav? se cured all articles at cost. This tribute of love and reBpect to our county boys we know lq, the de< stre ofall. The bags cost $2.00 each, fitted up. They contain a pair of scissors, a good knife, tooth brush, tooth paste,- cake of soap, knitted wash rag, paper, en velopes, pencil, 2 postals, 2handker chiefs, comb, needle case with 3 packages of needles, safety pins, da-nlng cotton, heavy black and white thvead, button bag with buttons, bas "oTYeTvet tobacco andcigarette papers. It was by general consent the tobac co was pot la. The boys expressed great appreciation of It.. A writer In "Medical Journal" says: "Whilf .the boys are necessarily under a hard, nervous strain. It Is a poor time t? begin a reform In the trenche# by taking away tobacco." ??' List of Jurors.
