Columbila, April 14.-The people of
South Carolina have read a lot about
the manner in which our boys "treated
'em rough". The time is at hand when
we will have the opportunity at first
hand to witness the destructive power
of these imionsters that broke down the
morale of the German army and con
tributed so greatly to the final vic
tory. Three of these great tanks will
voiie to South Carolina. They will
lbe shil ped dilet from Camp Meade,
NAld., to Greenville, Columbia and
Charleston. It is hoped that Southern
fighters will be in charge of these
tanks and it is expected that Lieu t.
.\rIhur L'. Varnedov, commulandinig the(
Iniks in this district, will be able to
dilmonstrate on1 of them in South
Carolina. A erew of two ien will
operate each tan k and will take pars
