B * ? ' V ************************** * * * SELMA SCHOOL NOTES. * ? ? *************************W. Never before, since the Declaration of Independence, has the world been fitted to realize what Thanksgiving really means. In such an hour, as the present, it would he useless to thank God simply because our broad lands are spread with harvests as a table might be spread for a banquet, that the pulse of industry beats with a stronger pressure than in any other country, and some of our own com monwealths are wealthier than the the whole nation that made George Washington its president. We should especially thank God that in such cir cumstances ns the United States is at the present time, in the midst of the gravest enterprise the spirits of men ever entered into, we have, if we but observo a reasonable and practical economy, abundance with which to supply the needs of those associated with us as well as our own. We should ask God to protect our boys in the trenches, to relieve suffering in the United States and abroad, and to end the terrible World War which will make the world safe for Democracy. ? C. L. R. Wednesday November 29, Mr. Moser closed school for the Thanks giving holidays. He also gave Friday as some of the teachers wished to at tend the Teacher's Assembly. Mr. and IMrs. Moser, and Mr. Williams went to Charlotte to attend the Teacher's As sembly. The following teachers went out of town: Misses Hand, l'aris, Passmore, Boseman, Harlowe, Pitt man, Hyman, Warren and Strickland.1 ? G. F. Mr. Moser having realized what little v;.lue the school library is afford ing us, has made a plan, with which" every high school pupil is pleas ed. It is so arranged that each pupil in the tenth and eleventh grades will have an opportunity to be in charge of the library, one or more vacant periods of the week. This will not hin der anyone from studying his or her lessons. It is for the benefit of those who have vacant periods, and would like to go to the library to read. This will cause the pupils to be more inter ested in reading hooks. The pledge which was signed by all the pupils of the high school, will be carried out as nearly right as possible. (I hereby promise to use my opportunity to visit the library in the very best way I can. I will not remove nny books from the shelves except by permiss ion. When through with a book or magazine, I shall lay it on the library table or magazine table. I shall speak to no one in the library except the one in charge and in a very low tone to him or her. 1 shall go nowhere except to the library when excused from the class room for this purpose. I shall go to the library to use the library books and for no other purpose. I shall do all I can to make this obliga tion binding on all who use the library.) To the above obligation, I pledge my sacred honor. ? B. M. The third entertainment of the Ly ceum Course was given last night at the school building. This was the " Doering Quintet," The programme consisted of music and recitations. " A Perfect Day," Mendelsshon's. "Spring Song," "National Emblem March, A Medley of Southern songs, etc., were some lof the selections. Everybody enjoyed this entertainment most of all. The next entertainment will come the eighteenth of December. This will be music and th'.< humourous lecturer, Paul "Sunshine" Dietric. We all look forward each time for the next entertainment and wish to take this opportunity of thanking the public spirited men who have made these en tertainments possible for us. ? L. R. S. On Tuesday, November 27th, the chapel exercises were very interesting. Mr. Moser made some announcements and then a very interesting talk. Then Mrs. Candler's grade had a very inter esting song. The grade marched on the stage and then sang a song of a Thanksgiving turkey. It was very in teresting and showed talent and work in the grade. ? O. L. B. On Wednesday, November, 28, one of our best and most interesting pro grams was rendered. The first thing was a short, but very good talk on Our Thanksgiving This Year, by Mr. Moser. He told us of many things for which we ought to be thankful this year. Among these were: Our pros perity, compared with the poverty of our allies, and the greatness and glory of our task in making the world safe for democracy. Then Mr. Moser read and commented on the Eight, one of the most beautiful Psalms. He told us that our greatest men had liked this Psalm and it was worth liking and memorizing. The most interesting and enjoyable part of the programme was some solos by Mrs. S. C. Robert son, of Long Beach, California. She is a talented singer. Her solos were enjoyed by everyone. ? O. L. B. Selma, N. C., Nov. 28, 1917. 'in MEMORY OF W. L. WALLACE. (By a Comrade ? J. P. H.) On the 18th of November, just after our company had been fcrm'd, we heard ih sad new? that one of our comrades, W. L. Wallace, was dead. This was a great shock to those who knew him. He was taken with meas les about two weeks before hiB death, and was taken to the hospital v/here he could be better cared for. He was later stricken with meningitis and lived but a short while. I never knew Mr. Wallace until, September 22nd, the day v/e noet at Smithficld to be sent to Camp Jack son. 1 never saw anything wrong about him. He was always on hi3 job. He was a good natured young man and was liked by all who knew him. We all i-re in great sympathy with his young wife of whom he so often spoke, and with his relatives who have to bear the grief and pain caused by the death of a Christian-hearted soldier boy. Wallace was in the same com pany with me and we were together very often, and discussed many dif ferent subjects, and now he is gone, gone forever where troubles and sor rows are no more. But let^s all try to meet him on that bright and glitter ing shore. Co. K, 119 Inft., Camp Sevier. Letter From Camp Sevier. Mr. Editor: I'lease sed me your paper in order that I may read about the doings of the good old Johnston County people during my rest hours. I am always triad to know what the folks back home are doing. I get hold of a Greenville paper once in awhile and read a few lines about the bloody war in which we are preparing to do our part. And when I have read this awhile 1 4ay it aside and long for my home paper in which I can see what the folkw are doing in my old home county. Army life is not as bad as some lives and not as good as some, though it is more of n general life. Here in Camp Sevier we live in tents, eight men to the tent and the tents are nicely cared for. But after all the Y. M. C. A. is one of the best friends the soldier boy has. After he has done his day's work, he can go over to the Y. M. C. A. and there pass his time away reading magazines, play ing games, viewing movies and many other interesting things which take the attention of the soldier boy. Then every Sunday morning at eight o'clock we have morning services; then at 9:30 Sunday school, with services again at 7:30 P. M. Please send me The Herald soon as it will be a welcome visitor in Camp Sevier. J. P. RYALS. Co. K, 119th Infantry, Camp Sevier, Greenville, S. C., Nov. 28, 1917. A Year of Cheer.

The killing of two and the wounding of five American soldiers reported from France last week, was caused by a heavy German shell which chanced to hit a loaded ammunition wagon. The wagon with its cargo was blown up and the men killed and wounded. The American soldiers in France are wearing shorter overcoats. They have found that the longer overcoats get caked in the mud which seems to be everywhere and makes them heavy, hindering the free movement of the wearers.

An Amsterdam dispatch reports that the President of the German food regulation board says that con siderable supplies of grain have been provided for making bread. He says that the imperial grain bureau has al ready received 1,000,550 tons as com pared with 890,000 tons last year. He claims that the potato supply is satis factory and that the distribution will be carricd out much more efficiently than in former years. He also says that the sugar supply will be about the same as formerly delivered. If these things be true, it is useless to think of starving the Germans during the next year. The pi-ice of Irish potatoes on the Spencer market took a drop last week. Several loads were offered on the streets of that town at $1.50 per bushel.
