THE DEACON. mr h ?;? : Interest in tbe U. S. S. Caesar sent I With a Christmas cargo to the starvWi.t' inff ononis of Syria is revived by the Kfjra receipt at the Navy department, of the |3?j Jog of that historic crane. It contains I a thrilling story of adventure and 11%' anxiety ending In a delay at Alexann -dria, Egypt which partly destroyed the Romance of the enterprise, but haB not ?V. diminished the prospect of ultimate ., success. Beginning its voyage with a I plight collision in New York Harbor, the Caesar encountered a near hurrlR cane in the middle Atlantic. So severe A .was the northwester that the vessel Flf-' was compelled to turn and face it more If/,; than once. The supply of oil stored on Iff. the deck waB thrown overboard to A". calm the sea; 250 tons of fresh water fil ; were pumped out of the tanks and fi15, rally the screw became fouled by a Vine-inch hawser which was being K,/ . dragged astern to steady the vessel. One sailor was washed overboard, out 1 . 'Was saved through the presence of 15 mind of an officer. Other members of ft' the crew were badly injured from beft11 Jng thrown about so that upon arriving ft, .at the Azores it was necessary to reft Stow the cargo and to give the men ft somo rest and liberty. The remainder w of the Journey was uneventful until I . Alexandria was reached on January I' 19 where it was found to be impossible ft on account of the German submarine ft' menace to proceed to Beirut and dlsI charge the cargo. An examination of I the cargo by Lloyd's agent revealed I > that, little damage had been done, all |<' being covered by Insurance. I While tide American committee is I considering the salt of the stores in I the Caesar's hold, which can be affectf/ ed at any time at a greatly increased |'i ' valuation, it is possible that these I) stores may be held ready for delivery If the moment the way is open. Need I for food will become so great that |j promptness of action will be an lmI' portant consideration when the time ? ?.? r? ?OOQ nf an|fi proceeds i comeo. iu ? . > will, of course, be cabled for use local< ly in the affected regions. CUII DILI! IDS | KIS Jill Ml k ' I Young Lawyer Follows in Footsteps of Patriotic* Grandsire. >fv' ' ' a few days ago word was received by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. E. Amos, of I , Fairmont avenue from their son, Clay j:. Dille Amos, announcing the fact that ' .he had tendered his services to the \ government, passed the examination, taken the oath, and would report for j training May 14 at Madison barracks, Sacketts Harbor, N. Y. Since his graduation in law at Harvard University two years ago, Mr. Amos has been located in Rochester, . K Y. His equipment for his profession ' was of the best. He Is a graduate 01 the Fairmont High school, Fairmont * State Normal, West Virginia Univer-j . slty and Harvard. His marked success at Rochester has been very gratifying! j to his friends and causes them to ask ; why he has turned aside from his pro, fessional ambitions, to accept the life j of the soldier. If "Clay" would answer for himself, he undoubtedly woula connect his enlistment with the principles of patriotism instilled into him in k early life by his grandfather, the late Colonel Madison Carter, of Wlnfleld district. Col. Carter's teachings were supported by a record of patriotic service unexcelled In Marion county. ' He enlisted August 16, 18*61 in Com pany C, Sixth Virginia Loyal Infantry. I He was later transferred to Maulsby's famous battery, and by successive promotions rose to first lieutenant. When Lee was on his way to Gettysburg. Lieut Carter led a charge against a Confederate force superior In num( bers. He was captured, sent to Llbby prison, and later to Belle Island. When exchanged, he returned to his battery, end saw active service under Phil Sheridan in his famous Shenandoah f Valley campaign. Returning home to recruit his health, he was Inactive until June 27, 1865, when he was commissioned ' by Governor Boreman as Colonel of the Eighteenth Regiment, ' West Virginia militia, which position he held until the organization was disbanded. The oft repeated story of all the details entering Into the above record stirred Clay's Imagination as a boy, and this being the first time that an opportunity has come to him as a young 1 M man to follow the example of his loyal U- grandfather, his enlistment has resulted. It Is but the natural harvest of deliberate seed sowing. b Clay Amos Is remembered as one of K ~ Fairmont's best young men. Clean ' morally, equipped mentally, and sound physically, he ought to be able to serve reumis country well. The congratulations Saftfelhla community are DeirurextSfflJ Wlto "Mr. and Mrs. Amos on account of wjtthelr non'a loyalty and willingness to BBpfoarlflce for the good of the nation.
