CAMP Othello HARDEN and Preston HARNAGE Give Their Lives For Country Two more Bradford county young men have died at the training camp. This time the deaths occurred at Columbis, S.C. and were among the boys who left here on November 20th. This sad news is contained in a letter written on December 10th by Charley POWELL to Frank HOLLINGSWORTH, of Starke. Mr. POWELL writes that Othello HARDEN, of Lulu, died on Sunday night, December 9th, from some cause unknown to him. Preston HARNAGE, of Raiford, died on Monday, December 10th, of spinal meningitis, this disease having broke out in camp. He writes also that Bryant GRIFFIS, Grace COOPER, Sidney GRIFFIS, Andrew GREEN and Mason ELIXSON are in the hospital, but does not know the nature of their illness. Among those who went away on the 20th J. W. WHITE, of Lulu, Noah HOWARD, of Lawtey, and James GRIFFIS of Lawtey, failed to pass the physical examination and have been discharged. The death of these young men casts a pall of sorrow over the entire county, and their families have the tender sympathy of everyone.
