LETTER FROM DOOLY
COUNTY BOY AT SEA
MARION KELLY WRITES INTER
ESTINGLY OF JOURNEY OVER
TO FRANCE. . /
Letter* from our boy* in the serv-
ice are always of interest to the folks
on this side. The following was writ
ten by Lieut. Marlon Kelly to hi*
homefolko at Unadilla, while aboard
a transport en route to France.
It seoms a* though all my life I
have been on this vessel. It goes
without saying that I have passed ov-
. er much water lately and we are still
a number.of days out of port. Some
how or other I haven't felt In a writ
ing humor lately. It was with ming
led feelings that I pulled out of the
harbor. As I said to an engineer
Lieutenant standing by me, "Well
this is the beginning of the great ad
venture.” It was all very dramatic.
The ferry boats we passed cheered us
and everybody waved their hats and
handkerchiefs. The people in the
north and edst are more demoiistra
tive and seem to be behind patriotic
things more than the people of the
south. But It isn’t fair to compare
them because I have not been in tho
south lately.
The old Statue of Liberty stood out
very conspicuously and seemed to be
giving us her benediction as we passed
out. I could not help but think that
this wonderful body of men, this col
lection of men and ships wero going
to show the donor of that statue that
w« really believed in the principles
for which she stands and that the debt
whs going to be paid.
We have a bunch of negroes on this
ship and they make things very lively
every evening at the hour between
dinner and the lighting of the smok
ing lamps or rather the prohibition of
■noldng on the decks, the negroes
sing, dance, box and have a good time
generally.
We are very comfortably situated,
the meals are good and everything is
all right except the air is bad in our
staterooms at night, caused by all the
port holes being closed. Every open-
ing Is closed at night so there can’t bo
any possibility of a light showing. We
sleep, eat, read, playcheckers, sit on
the deck and watch the other ships.
The other dr.y ye had a genuine
submarine scare, the bells rang, the
bugles blew and ships siren also blew.
Everyone rushed to their station
Without confusion, But many funny
stories are prevalent as to how the
negroes took it. One negro rushelng
furiously snd blindly fos the hatch-
wsy ran into a mirror, seeing himself
he said, “Say boss, how is the. quick
est way out of hero.” Some of them
cried, poor fellows, they were so
scared. The last two days we had
some pretty rough weather, occasion
ally the front of the ship was covered
with spray. The ship rolled,, lurch
ed and pitched quite badly at times.
But since we have been favored with
ideal culm /weather, the first few days
which gave everyone a chance to find
h|s aea legs, the number who are sea
sick is relatively small. At each
meal we check up to aco who has fall
en out Honestly, I have not even
felt badly, I am beginning to believe
I .am quite a good sailor. But I must
lok out, “A haughty spirit before 3
fall." One negro says ho don’t
wsnt never to make but one more sea
trip and that is back to Georgia. The
fifst morning out anegro camo up and
said, “We bin going all night and we
in de same place we wus yestldy.”
This is absolutely a male ship. W*
have also two bby dogs and even the
cat is a Tom cat. I don’t know the
sex of the pet crow, but it is moro
than an even bet that it is a male bird.
We have a victrola and some three or
four who play the piano well. And
every night we have tho picture show,
so we arc very well amused. Every
day we get the news by radio and it is
posted on the bulletin board. Doesn't
it seem wonderful that although in
the middle of the Atlantic ocean, we
have cream in our coffee, grape fruit,
lettuce, ice, butter, daily paper, mu-
sue and picturcshows. Man is a clev
er unimal at that, eh.’ I thinlc of you
all the time and as you say'I didn’t
say half what I wnted to when nt
home. Oh well, we will have a regular
party later on eh. Very best lav* to
each.
Affectionately,
MARION.
MR. FARMER
Listen to reason. Don't gin wet
cotton. Mr. Ginner, don’t try it.
There is $30,000 worth of cotton
ruined in the last week by careless
ness. I know you need the money
but wait and ry your cotton. You
can’t carry your cotton from the Held
to the gin as in other years.
Respectfully,

TWO MILLION TONS OF
COAL MOST BE SAVED
pi Georgia That War Industries
May Be Supplied.
By burning wood Georgians moat
Sava two million tone of coal this win
ter In order that our rapidly growing
war induatriea may be fully supplied.
Tbe governmenut used fifty million
tons last year In its war activities,
but this year it will seed approximate
ly one hundred and fifty million tons.
It Is almost impossible for the mlnea
to greatly Inoreaae their output in
view of the serious shortage of labor,
and hence all of the extra coal that
|s needed by tbe government must be
saved by tbe people. Georgia's share
|n the saving ia t.Mt.tOO tons.
Coal hi tbs very basis of tbe activi
ties of our armies, There.is not n
Single war commodity or activity
that Is not dependant on coal, that
has not directly or Indirectly the pow
er of cost somewhere In its produqtlon.
It takes coal to operate munition
plants, more troops by rail, propel
transport ships, keep our navy
guard, snd then move food, soldiers
and munitions to tbs front Coal ia
tbe fuel best adapted to war purposes.
When we burn wood, w* not only re
lease coal for war purposes but wa
relieve the congestion of the railroad a,
clearing the trucks that men and sup
plies may more more rapidly towards
tbs front
Tbe relative bent value of wood to
coal la much higher than la ordinari
ly thought One cord of aaasoned ash,
oak or hickory Is equlvalant to one
ton of soft coal. The foal value do-
amuses with pine, cypress snd cotton-
wood, and with tho amount of season-
10* Our wood supply In Georgia is
lagge enough to supply all our needs,
annual growth of cord wood
ly exceeds Urn annual oonanmp-
and this will stJR hold true If
wood entirely replaced coal for homo
use.
If every family la Georgia would
reduce its consumption of coal by fif
ty par cent the amount aaked of us
by the Government could be easily
saved. Many families In tbe rural dis
tricts will find It possible to entirely
replace coal with wood. In every case
coal must be used economically. The
Federal Fuel Administration will en
deavor to distribute wbat little coal
that will be allowed for this state, to
only tho largest cities that need It
worst and tq tbosa industrial plants
■nanufactarfng products essential to
tbe war.
Farmers wbo bars cut larger sup
plies of wood than they need, should
get in touch with their county agents
and local fuel administrators. These
man are cooperating and an ready to
assist fanners in marketing their
wood. It is not yet too Into to cut
a good supply of cord wood. Those
who wish to harvest wood for fuel
purposes and at the same time im
prove their future stands of timber,
should communicate with E. W. Had
ley, extensloa forester, Georgia State
College of Agriculture. Demonstra
tions will be given ‘throughout the
State on tbe proper methods of cut
ting and thinning woodlands.
Every one Is asked to help. The
Fuel Administration points out that
the best way Is to BurA Wood and Save
Coal.
AIDS IN PARCHMENT REAdInQ
Camera Used Successfully In Preserv
ing Old Writing Now Barely
Discernible.
Before the duys of books parchments
became so costly that economical schol-
nrs erased more or less perfectly wbat
had been written end used them a sec
ond Uuic. In this manner same blghly
interesting and valuable manuscripts
have been lost to the world, says
New York Herald. But In many cooes
the ancient characters are still visi
ble.
It was not long ago that photography
was first successfully applied for this
work. The color of the faded ink of
the older writing on a palimpsest Is
yellow, A photograph of such a man
uscript was made through a yellow
screen. The Jesuit was a negative on
which tho old writing was barely dis
cernible, being a little darker than the
background, while the later black
writing appeared distinctly as white
letters.
Next sn ordinary negative on n bro
mide plate \vas made and from thta
was produced n transparent positive on
which both writings appeared dark and
about equally distinct. Tben the trans
parency was superposed on tbe first
negative so that tbe dark letters of
tbe later writing covered the light let
ters, representing the same writing In
tbe-negative. Tbay were thus elimi
nated, being Indlsttngulshnbly merged
with tbe general dark background pro
duced by tbe combination of positive
and negative. But the earlier charac
ters, since they were dark In both
cases, appeared In tbe combination In
tensely black end distinct.

The yeass I spent at Wheeler,
The things I said and done.
Never made one attempt to steal her,
Just love them oae by one. \
In squads east ia sun beaming hot,
And details by the score,
I scrubbed pans and leaky pots,
And many things I don’t know.
The “drill#” we like all but one,
And that was the “litter” drill,
Not a minute’s, time for fua,
For the command gave us a thrill.
Tv/as first form ‘order’ to the ‘carry’
Litter section, right up the hill,
Made us allmant to marry,
. And “Doctor” with the pill.
But these days at Wheeler are over,
For we are going to ride away,
Only wish we were in fields of clover.
And peace declared this very day.
But wc don’t want to stay,
While others cross the foam.
And help gather the new mown hay,
While eur brothers aref ar from home
We arc leaving, mothers, sfon’t .you
see;
And friends so near and dear,
Going to fight for Democracy,
And win the war in a year,

Don’t forget the fathers true, *
Who love their boys so well,
They never make a big todo,
But a look at faces, you can tell.
I’d like to be at the poll/,
On that registration da;.
But I son see the papers “role,"
And meet the boys on their wsy.
Eighteen to forty-five looks mighty
well,
But there are young, and some are
old,
Enough to give the Germans hell - ,
And push their allies in a hole,
