Lieutenant Zeb Bradford, of Hun-
tersville, son of County Commissioner
W. B. Bradford and Mrs. Bradford has
written his " parents an interesting
letter describing his trip to France and
some of his work there. He is a
lieutenant of infantry in the Eighty-
First division, which contains many
officers and men from ; the Carolinas
and Georgia. It reads, in part:
Jan. 4, 1918.
Dear Papa and Mamma:
I landed back with my company
Christmas day, and I have been trying
to find time to write every since. I
got back, but I have been very busy.
When I got back -I found several let
ters awaiting me. I received the box
the day after Christmas and I cant
tell you how much I appreciate! it.
The box was in good condition. J
didn't get to eat much of the cake
and candy for I had to many hungry
friends with me, .when. I received be
box. The peanuts made me homesick
for they were the .first I have seen
since I have been in France.- Tte
knife come in handy and I have had
big prices offered me for it, several
times. - - - - - - - -
I hope everybody at horns enjoyed
Christmas and I hope all of us will
have a happy New Year.
I have been in France Ave months
and I am going to try to give you r,r
outline of what we have been doing
during that time.
When, we left New York we was
crowded into a big ship, so many that
there was scarcely standing room. 1
can't tell you- much about the first
few days out, but if you can imagine
2.000 soldiers on a ship and almost
all of them sea sick, also none of them
allowed on deck, and no lights you
can probably , get an idea of the be
ginning of our voyage.
There were 16 ships in my com
pany, these ships were guarded by a
battleship and two torpedo destroyers.
Iga! Calomel makes you sick,
t's horrible! Take a' dose of the dan
gerous drug tonight and tomorrow you
nar lose a day's work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
h:ch causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
itn sour bile, crashes into it, break
ing It up. This is when you feel that
awful nausea and cramping. If you
are sluggish and "all knocked out,
stipated or you x have headache, dizzi
ness, coated tongue, if breath is bad
cr stomach sour, just try a spoonful
of harmless Dodson's Liver Tdne to
night.
Here's my guarantee Go to any
drug store and get a bottle of Dod-
acn's Uver Tone for a few cents. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn't straighten
you right up and make you feel fine
and vigorous I want you to go back to
the stere and get your money. Dod
son's Liver Tone is destroying the
sale of calomel because it is real liver
medicine; entirely vegetable, there
fore it can not salivate or make you
sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that sour bile and constipat
ed waste which is clogging your sys
tem and making you feel miserable. I
guarantee that a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone will keep your entire fam
ily feeling fine for months. Give it
to your children. It is harmless;
doesn't gripe and they like its plea
ant taste.

It was interesting to see the dimout
line of the ather ships at night as
they planed along through the water.
There was not a single light on any
of the ships, and occasionally one
would get lost when it was very
feggy.
Our ship got lost from the re
mainder of the convoy where the sub
marines had been very active. I
thought the ship commander would at
tract the attention of all the "Subs"
by blowing his whistle, but the battle
ship was not long in reaching us after
it heard our S. O. S. call.
We ran along the cost of Ireland
up to Liverpool, and finally landed 13
days after leaving New York. After
a few hours stay at Liverpool we
caught-the train for Winchester. I
did not get tp see much of England for
most of our riding was done at night,
on account of evening aircraft ac
tivity. .
From Winchester we crossed the
English channel and landed at Chent
bourg, France.
After leaving Cheutbourg we made
our first stop at Tannoke, about the
central part of France. We trained
at this plance for three weeks and
started for the front. We were taken
from this point to St. Die, which is
about 7 miles behind the lines; in
motor trucks. The next night we
hiked out for the trenches. Each
officer taking his platoon out at a set
time. After hiking most all night we
relieved another organization of their
duties and took up and abade in the
dugouts, with the coaties and rats.
Most all of the men had taken nuts up
with them and they forgot to empty
their pockets. Although everybody
sleept with their clothes on, they
were surprised to find that their
J pockets were full of holes and all of
the nuts were gone.
This was the reserve pavilion, and
we were disturbed only by gas at
tacks and artillery shells bursting
around our dugout.
We moved up to the support pavil
ion, next where the coaties gas attacks
and artillery fire prevailed upon us
with a little more vim.
After a few days stay here we went
into the front line trenches where we
had one more enemy to face; Mr. Hun
himself. Here we were shot at very
frequently, or just as often as you
cculd be seen, but you always had
the consolation of shooting back. We
stayed at this point for nine days
and moved back for a rest.
This is about the way we have
spent most of . our time,, only each
time you went to the front from a
rest billet you received a little warmer
gieeting.
I will have to wait until I get home
to tell you about the last real scraps
we had.
I don't know whether you knew
that our division was known as the
"Wild Cat Division," are not, if there
is anything in the papers about it you
will know it is also the 81st.
I got abetter from Oliver Ransom
about two months ago. I heard that
he had been killed, but I didn't know
whether it was true, or not, I would
like to know.
I haven't the least idea when I will
get home. From the way things look
now we will probably be here several
months yet.
Answer soon.
With love,
' ' YOUR SON ZEB.
